72. The Killing Zone

Julius Caesar arrives in Spain, the picture of confidence. Even having to borrow money from his officers to pay his soldiers doesn't seem to dampen his self-belief, or the belief of his followers. Taking command of the Spanish campaign, he quickly begins trying to outmaneuver Afranius and Petreius. Caesar's luck abandons him though, when his veteran army panics and the Ninth Legion finds itself trapped in what amounts to a killing zone.     Audible 30 Day Free Trial and 1 Free Audiobook (2 for Prime Members) https://www.audibletrial.com/caesar    Website www.themarchofhistory.com    Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one-time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@themarchofhistory    Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory   Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History" Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com   ----more----   Show Summary: The March of History is a biographical history podcast on Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic.

70. Julius Caesar Returns to Rome

Sitting in his country villa, Cicero struggles to choose a side; Julius Caesar or Pompey and the Optimates. From his vantage, neither option looks appealing. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar makes his much anticipated (and dreaded) return to Rome after a 10 year absence from his mother city. There, Caesar soon finds himself butting heads with a troublesome Tribune of the Plebs over the fate of the Roman treasury. In a flash of temper, Caesar runs roughshod over the ancient rights of the Tribunes and, possibly, even threatens to kill the Tribune. Rome does not take this hypocrisy kindly.     Buy Napoleon's Chronicles of Caesar's Wars (Amazon): https://amzn.to/4jfY6Ii    We are a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for us to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and related sites.     Venmo If you enjoyed the episode and want to leave a tip, click the link below! https://venmo.com/code?user_id=3764325529420842984&created=1680471101.0362968&printed=1    Patreon If you want to contribute to The March of History with a monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.patreon.com/themarchofhistory    PayPal If you want to contribute to The March of History with a one-time or monthly donation, click the link below! https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=QZREW4PVL2M3A    Youtube - Trevor Travels https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-kjCywT0iuq1XgVY_u88gg   Social Medias (All can be found at the following link): linktr.ee/themarchofhistory   Instagram - @themarchofhistory Twitter - @march_history Facebook - Search "The March of History" Music: LucasNapoleone/Shutterstock.com   ----more----   Show Summary: The March of History is a biographical history podcast on Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic.
