Beware the Ides of March! In this extra-adult episode we discuss 6 of the 12 Caesars, Roman superstitions and modern, HBO's Rome, and was Suetonius a scandal monger? (Yes.)

Recommendations:

• The History of Rome podcast by Mike Duncan
• BBC History Extra podcast, had an excellent recent episode about Agrppina the Younger
• Emma Southon book on Agrippina (Most biographies on Roman women are written by men, so this is neat) 
• Hardcore History podcast one off episode on Caesar’s war in Gaul titled “Celtic Holocaust” 
• Fiction: Augustus, by John Williams; Non-fiction: The Death of Caesar, by Barry Strauss (he has a very interesting theory on Caesar’s death)
• Mysteries writers Steven Saylor and Lindsey Davis
