The March of History: Julius Caesar 45. New Neighbors
Julius Caesar has some spare time before the campaign season is over so he decides to try to mop up some pesky smaller tribes still holding out against the might of Rome. These concerns are soon forgotten when a large Germanic host crosses the Rhine and tries to make their new home in Gaul. Caesar tries to deal with them with a combination of diplomacy and threatening action but it ends in a debacle that will be hotly debated in the Roman Senate. Julius Caesar’s greatest Roman foe, Cato, will even suggest that Caesar should be handed over to the Germanic tribes for punishment.
Correction: I mention in this episode that there are accounts of World War 2 soldiers being bogged down in horrible mud not far from where Caesar was fighting the Menapii and Morini. This was a slip of the tongue and I meant World War 1 soldiers.
