In the first episode of our series on the death of Julius Caesar, Rob Attar and Professor Barry Strauss describe the assassination of Julius Caesar – a day that would transform Rome forever.
On 15 March 44 BC, Rome’s dictator strode into the Senate House of Pompey for a meeting with the city’s political elite. Little did he know that this would be the final meeting of his life. In episode one of our new series on Julius Caesar’s rise and fall, Rob Attar is joined by Professor Barry Strauss to describe the momentous events of a day that would transform Rome forever.
