Julius Caesar won his civil war! Caesar’s civil war proved that there was a lot wrong with the Republic, and there were a lot of issues that needed to be fixed.  Julius Caesar was made a dictator for 10 years, and then life, to fix these issues.  While some chafed under Caesar’s dictatorship, Caesar felt his position was safe, as he restored the Republic with his unlimited power.

Our essential question to keep in mind through the episode is: Why did Julius Caesar do what he did?

Death of the Roman Republic (DOTRR) is an educational podcast, and any clips from other media is used to transform and elevate its educational content, using modern media to help people relate to a 2000 year old story. (Speaking as a not-Fair Use expert), DOTRR seeks to use Fair Use, in transforming media clips used for educational purposes, and in that Death of the Roman Republic will never make a profit (no advertisements, Patreon, etc.).  

*2024 update - Google Podcasts is apparently shutting down, I am attempting to upload to podcast to Spotify.  Fingers crossed this works, I nonetheless have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
