Experience the dramatic life of Julius Caesar and the fall of the Roman Republic in this gripping biographical history podcast hosted by Trevor Fernes.


Step into the heart of Ancient Rome and witness the rise and fall of one of history’s most iconic figures, Julius Caesar. This deep-dive podcast takes listeners on a meticulously researched journey through the Roman Republic’s most pivotal era—an age of political intrigue, military conquest, and the ambitions of powerful men who reshaped history.

Follow Julius Caesar’s extraordinary ascent from impoverished noble, navigating the treacherous waters of Roman politics and Senate power struggles, to his rise as a brilliant military commander and transformative statesman. His story is not just one of personal ambition—it’s the story of a civilization in flux, a society on the brink of collapse, and a republic unraveling under civil strife and imperial ambition.

This podcast explores Julius Caesar’s legendary military campaigns, beginning with the Gallic Wars—a defining chapter showcasing his unmatched strategic brilliance and relentless ambition. Experience the epic Battle of Alesia, where Caesar’s leadership secured victory over Vercingetorix and the Gauls. This triumph cemented his reputation as one of ancient Rome’s greatest generals and expanded the Roman Republic’s reach, solidifying its dominance across ancient Europe.

After the conquests in Gaul, the story shifts to rising political tensions in Ancient Rome, setting the stage for civil war. As Caesar’s rivals grew increasingly intractable—driven by fear, ambition, and a hatred of Caesar personally—he faced a stark choice: cross the Rubicon or submit to prosecution. Caesar chose the Rubicon, unleashing chaos across the Roman Republic and propelling the conflict toward the climactic Battle of Pharsalus, where Caesar’s forces confronted Pompey Magnus in a decisive clash that would determine the Republic’s fate and cement Caesar’s dominance.

But battlefields are only part of this history. The March of History immerses listeners in the tangled web of alliances, betrayals, and conspiracies that signaled the Roman Republic’s collapse. Alongside Julius Caesar, explore the ambitions and legacies of Ancient Rome’s most influential figures—Cicero, the brilliant orator and defender of republican ideals; Pompey Magnus, Rome’s golden boy and celebrated general turned reluctant adversary of Caesar; Cato the Younger, the immovable object to Caesar’s unstoppable force; Mark Antony, the charismatic hedonist and formidable battlefield commander; and Brutus, whose betrayal on the Ides of March remains one of history’s most infamous acts of treachery. And, of course, Cleopatra, the enigmatic Egyptian queen whose alliances with Caesar and Antony shaped personal destinies and Rome’s future.

This podcast offers more than a retelling of historic events—it’s an exploration of power, ambition, betrayal, and human frailty. The struggles, political moves, and military strategies of this era reveal timeless lessons on leadership, governance, and human nature.

Each episode draws from ancient sources and modern historians to provide rich context and insightful analysis. Quotes from classical writers and respected scholars breathe life into the narrative, while detailed commentary deepens the events that shaped Ancient Rome. For those captivated by Roman history, military strategy, and Ancient Rome’s fall, this podcast offers a truly immersive experience.

The March of History delivers a powerful exploration of one of history’s most pivotal eras. If you’re fascinated by the rise and fall of empires, the clash of brilliant minds, and the strategies that shaped Ancient Rome, this podcast is a must-listen. Join us as we uncover the epic story of Julius Caesar, the political chaos of the Roman Republic, and the transformation that gave birth to the Roman Empire—a legacy that still echoes through history.

  • 81. Cicero’s Agonizing Decision
    Jan 1 2026

    The March of History goes back in time to Italy in the spring of 49 BC, where Marcus Tullius Cicero still sits around his country villas agonizing over what action he should take in this civil war. Cicero's natural loyalty lies with Pompey and the Optimates who he feels have the moral right on their side. And yet, Cicero is furious with Pompey for his failures around the Rubicon crossing and his abandonment of Rome and Italy—and even more terrified of Pompey's plans to imitate Sulla if he wins the civil war. Yet, at the same time, Cicero wholly disapproves of Julius Caesar having crossed the Rubicon; he distrusts Caesar's intentions regarding the Republic, and he is scandalized by the disreputable men Caesar has following him around. Eventually, though, Cicero must make a decision. This episode takes us through all of Cicero's thoughts and feelings and agony—via his personal letters—as he comes to that decision.

    Meanwhile, as Cicero is suffering, a young Marc Antony is having the time of his life, having been given control of Italy by Julius Caesar. Antony is no one's shrinking violet, and he is soon parading around Italy with his famous actress mistress and hooking up a team of lions to his chariot.
