In this climactic finale to our first season, we march with Alexander the Great and his trusted cavalry commander, Menander, into the heart of the Persian Empire for the Battle of Gaugamela. 

Experience the strategic brilliance of Alexander's tactics, and the palpable tension and chaos of the battlefield as we dive deep into the thick of the fight. 

From scythed chariots to massive cavalry engagements and a fleeing Emperor Darius, we relive the decisive confrontation that would forever alter the course of history. 

Tune in to feel the adrenaline, the fear, the triumph, and ultimately, the heavy toll of this legendary battle. Journey with us as we explore how these grand historical events shaped not only the lives of men like Menander but the trajectory of Western civilization itself. 

And stay tuned for the next season where we will join Julius Caesar's campaign in Gaul from the perspective of a hardy centurion, Publius Sextius Baculus
