Join us in Austin for the Cost of Glory Men's Retreat. January 23-26.  Theme: Caesar  https://costofglory.com/retreat


Caesar crosses two major bodies of water (and he hasn’t even gotten to the Rubicon yet), in part 4 of our series on Caesar’s masterwork of psychology, strategy, and propaganda: On the Gallic War (De Bello Gallico).
 
This is a world-history making story (the conquest of what’s now modern France), told by a world-history making storyteller. 

Caesar entered Gaul as a mere politician. He returned 9 years later as a conqueror - and an enemy of the state. He tells how it all happened with his own pen.

In this episode:

  • The Suebi and their strange ways
  • Caesar builds a bridge
  • Caesar’s first landing in Britain
