    71. The Spanish Campaign Begins: Julius Caesar Strikes West
    Feb 20 2025

    Julius Caesar’s rapid march toward Spain is stalled by the defiant city of Massilia (modern Marseille). Ahenobarbus unexpectedly resurfaces and re-enters the Roman Civil War. We set the stage for Julius Caesar’s campaign in Spain. Caesar’s legate Fabius, sent ahead to start the war while Caesar organizes the siege of Massilia, soon finds himself in peril - without Caesar around to save him.

  • 70. Julius Caesar Returns to Rome

    70. Julius Caesar Returns to Rome
    Jan 16 2025

    Sitting in his country villa, Cicero struggles to choose a side; Julius Caesar or Pompey and the Optimates. From his vantage, neither option looks appealing. Meanwhile, Julius Caesar makes his much anticipated (and dreaded) return to Rome after a 10 year absence from his mother city. There, Caesar soon finds himself butting heads with a troublesome Tribune of the Plebs over the fate of the Roman treasury. In a flash of temper, Caesar runs roughshod over the ancient rights of the Tribunes and, possibly, even threatens to kill the Tribune. Rome does not take this hypocrisy kindly.
