Julius Caesar and Augustus - Cullen's Second Birthday Special

It's Cullen's Birthday... Again!
My High School History Teacher returns to lead DGMH through the "Tale of Two Caesars," as we explore the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of an Empire!
We chat about the role of Julius Caesar and his chosen successor, Octavian, in the fall of the Roman Republic and the formation of the Roman Empire during their respective reigns. This episode had a good bit on the First and Second Triumvirates, as well as Cleopatra of Egypt too! Plus, we made some fun comparisons to the US.
Key content: Julius Caesar, Gaul, Augustus, Cleopatra, Marc Antony, Roman Empire, Republicanism
Cheers!
