Andrew Roth is back with the start of the third single episode series: Rome After the Republic . In this episode, Andrew begins this saga with the man who changed Rome forever: Julius Caesar. He is mostly remembered by the play written by William Shakespeare.

Thankfully, parts of that play are true. However, the play only covers his horrific death and the aftermath that occurred. This episode covers various parts of his life and the situation Rome was in before and during Caesar's participation. Various sources are used.
