It was Alexander the Great who spurred Julius Caesar to new heights. When Caesar saw a statue of him when he was 31, he realised that at his age Alexander had conquered half the world. Caesar was so distraught at his own relative lack of achievements, it's said he wept at Alexander's feet. In just a few years Caesar had become the Chief Priest of Rome, Consul, and one of the members of Rome's first Triumvirate.  Join us on his journey to political power, and meet Pompey, Crassus, and a rebel gladiator named Spartacus who sparked the whole thing off in the first place.   Subscribe to us here on your favourite podcast channel, follow us on Instagram and Facebook @bitesizebattles, and visit our website at www.bitesizebattles.com.
