Summary

Help keep our podcast going by contributing to our Patreon! ⁠ We're on hiatus until April 9. Until then, enjoy this long, binge-able episode on Julius Caesar's early life. Most accounts of Caesar's life start later on--such as during his time in Gaul or crossing the Rubicon. But his early life was just as fascinating; maybe even more so. This is the Caesar who stood up to Sulla and refused to divorce his wife. The Caesar who made an early career of prosecuting corrupt governors to cement his cred as a populist--even as it made him powerful enemies. The Caesar who, when kidnapped by pirates, demanded they raise his ransom and spent his time in captivity hanging out on the beach and reading them bad poetry. It's a fun, lighthearted introduction to Caesar's life before it takes its dark turn. We hope you enjoy. Sponsors and Advertising This podcast is a member of Airwave Media podcast network.

We are so glad that you found us. Welcome. We're so glad you're here. So that feature was about people thinking about
0:55.9	the Roman Empire, dudes thinking about the Roman Empire in particular. Mostly white dudes.
1:01.7	Yeah, mostly white dudes. And if you're constantly thinking about the Roman Empire,
1:06.4	clearly you should also be thinking about whether or not you could survive Pompeii. I think
