Short Summary

This "Cost of Glory" podcast episode explores Julius Caesar's life from impoverished noble origins through conquest of Gaul, civil war, and entanglement with Cleopatra to his assassination on the Ides of March, using Nietzsche's "monumental history" and Plutarch's biographies as a lens. The discussion corrects the common misconception that Marcus Brutus was Caesar's closest associate—clarifying that Decimus Brutus, Caesar's lieutenant and second in his will, was the one who persuaded him to attend the Senate that fateful morning—and examines why Caesar's concentration of power in the oligarchic Roman Republic led his former loyalists to kill him. Guest Chris, a northern Brit familiar with Hadrian's Wall, joins host Alex.
