When Pompeian soldiers and officers start to mingle with Caesar's army in an attempt to bring about a peace, Petreius decides to renew the war in brutal fashion. After a game of cat and mouse, Caesar finally corners the Pompeians and receives their surrender. With both Roman armies listening, Caesar then launches into one of his greatest speeches and one of his most ostentatious displays of clemency. We then dive deep on the enigma that is Caesar's clemency and all its hidden facets. Stay tuned to the very end for an anecdote on Caesar's clemency.

Show Summary:

The March of History is a biographical history podcast on Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic. Not only does it cover Julius Caesar's life in depth, it also explores the intricate world of ancient Rome and all of the key players of the late Roman Republic including Cicero, Pompey, Crassus, Cato, Clodius, Mark Antony, Brutus, a young Augustus (Octavian), Marius, Sulla and (though not Roman) Cleopatra.

With their position growing worse by the day, Afranius and Petreius decide to make a run for it and attempt to march to Celtiberia where they expect to find support. For Julius Caesar, everything depends on stopping them from reaching a set of mountains/hills at which point they will be out of his reach and the war will become protracted. And so the race begins, with both armies rushing to reach the mountain pass first. Along the way, Caesar's soldiers become fed up with his famous clemency and aren't shy in letting him know.

When monsoon rains hit Northeastern Spain, the Sicoris River floods, obliterating both of Julius Caesar's bridges. Now stranded in a narrow strip of land between two flooded rivers, Caesar soon runs out of food and his troops begin to starve. Finding himself in an increasingly desperate situation, Caesar must find a way to regain access to the Eastern bank of the river or else the war will be lost. Meanwhile, Decimus Brutus fights a naval battle at Massilia against Ahenobarbus and the Massiliotes. Stay tuned at the end for a special segment on Cicero and the cosmos.

Julius Caesar’s rapid march toward Spain is stalled by the defiant city of Massilia (modern Marseille). Ahenobarbus unexpectedly resurfaces and re-enters the Roman Civil War. We set the stage for Julius Caesar’s campaign in Spain. Caesar’s legate Fabius, sent ahead to start the war while Caesar organizes the siege of Massilia, soon finds himself in peril - without Caesar around to save him.

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.

Julius Caesar pursues Pompey to the port city of Brundisium. There, the two face off in the first great engineering contest of the civil war as Caesar attempts to blockade the port and Pompey works to slow Caesar’s progress until his fleet can arrive. There is also a special segment at the end of the episode regarding the Gladiator films so make sure to listen all the way through or you will miss out.

Julius Caesar makes the greatest gamble of his life and crosses the Rubicon to march on his political enemies. The civil war has begun. The unprepared Pompey and the Optimates are thunderstruck by Caesar's swift advance. Most Romans fear Caesar will behave like Sulla or Marius. Caesar has other plans. He soon unveils his clemency to the world in dramatic fashion.
