Season 4 of the show will focus on murderous schemes within powerful families throughout history. In the first episode of the season, we look at the most famous assassination of all time - the murder of Julius Caesar in the Roman Senate in 44 BC. He had won glory and riches conquering the Gauls before going on to defeat his Roman foes. But as dictator for life, it was in Rome itself that the great man would meet his doom. We conclude this case next week.
