Julius Caesar was assassinated by conspirators like Brutus, Cassius, and Decimus Brutus. Now, without a supreme leader like Caesar, politicians like the conspirators, and others like Cicero, Mark Antony, Lepidus, and new kids on the block like Sextus Pompey and Octavian, now struggled for power in the Republic. Would there be peace in the Republic, or more war?
Our essential question to keep in mind through the episode is: What would Roman politicians do in the wake of Caesar’s death?

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have an always will do this for fun, and do not seek to make any profit, and use media to elevate education (without outdated memes and references) through transformative means.
