Julius Caesar the general - Ides of March Special
Julius Caesar was murdered on 15th March - the Ides of March for the Romans - in 44 BC. He is famous as a politican, as the man who gave his name to the line of emperors, for his affair with the equally famous Cleopatra - and because the month of July was named after him.
He was also a general - one of the Great Captains of history admired by the likes of Frederick the Great and Napoleon. This talk is about Caesar the general. It looks at the military side of his career. More than anything else it is about how Caesar planned and led his campaigns, and how he controlled and inspired his army in battle. I look at his style of command and ask whether it was unique to him or similar in style to other Roman generals.
