Cost of Glory

98 - Gallic Wars 8: Finale


Listen Later

Caesar ties all loose ends in his Gallic Campaign, in part 8, the final episode of our series on Caesar’s masterwork of psychology, strategy, and propaganda: On the Gallic War (De Bello Gallico). 
 
This is a world-history making story (the conquest of what’s now modern France), told by a world-history making storyteller. 

Caesar entered Gaul as a mere politician. He returned 9 years later as a conqueror - and an enemy of the state. He tells how it all happened with his own pen.

In this episode:

  • Final skirmishes with the Bituriges and the Carnutes
  • Siege of a hill-fort, and Caesar takes arms (literally)
  • Conclusion of a bloody chapter, and some takeaways

Cost of Glory is an Infinite Media production — and big thanks to Dr. Richard Johnson of the great city of New York for sponsoring this episode and many others in this series!
