Julius Caesar: The Making of a Dictator
Ides of March

As Caesar takes control of Rome and consolidates his grip over the republic, he awards himself ever-greater powers. Appointed dictator for one year to restore peace, he soon extends this to 10 years, then for the rest of his life. As his ambition turned to tyranny, a handful of senators, including some of his closest allies, plotted to end his rule by assassination. But will that be enough to save the republic?
