Dark History 166: The Shocking Sex Scandals Behind This Infamous Dictator
Apr 16, 2025
01:12:59
Hi friends, happy Wednesday!
Julius Caesar...military genius, fashion icon, drama queen, and oh yeah—murdered by 60 of his coworkers.
We've all heard the name before. Maybe you think of togas, Caesar salads (not from him btw), or that phrase "Beware the Ides of March." Whatever that means. But Caesar’s real story? Lemme tell you... way messier than what they told us in school.
From pirate kidnappings to public sex scandals, and flexing on his enemies to literally dumping a bucket of #2 on a senator’s head— history remembers this man as some regal leader. But he was pure chaos.
And his murder? Less Shakespearian tragedy and more Game of Thrones energy. So why did Rome turn on their “god”? And did Caesar kind of have it coming? Let’s get into it.
This is the Dark History of Julius Caesar.
I appreciate you for coming by, and tune in next week for more Dark History.
