Julius Caesar launched a civil war on Rome against Pompey Magnus and the Optimates.  Caesar’s civil war will take him across the Roman World, as he fights his enemies in Spain, and at Dyrrachium.  Pompey, the Optimates, and their forces will fight back, as the two sides fight for control of the Republic. 

Our essential question to keep in mind throughout the episode is: Who will win this civil war? The Caesareans, or Pompeians? What advantages and disadvantages does each side have?

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have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
