Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator
Veni Vidi Vici
Season 1 Episode 2 of 3
The rise to power of the Roman leader continues with Caesar having brokered an uneasy alliance with the two other most powerful men in the Republic - Pompey and Crassus. He then left Rome to take the governorship of Gaul - modern day France - to conquer its people and win yet greater power and prestige, but events beyond his control threatened to unravel his plans, and leave him isolated. Pushed into a corner, he made a decision that would change the course of the Republic - and western history - for ever
Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator airs on RTE2 at 1:15 AM, Tuesday 21 July. (Subtitles, repeat.)
