Caesar v The Oligarchs, 29 April 2007
Author: george karpouzas
This second episode paints a human Caesar- a great personality but one can empathize with.He is presented as a champion of his soldiery against the corrupt an self-serving oligarchy of the Senators who employ his former ally Pompey to fight against him and whom they make loose a crucial battle because of their unwise counsel, greed and rashness.Being not familiar with military matters I was not able to comprehend the content of Caesar's tactics just the outcome. Again the motif of juxtaposing the Senate against a charismatic individual champion of the people is depicted here as in the next episode about Grachus and in a lesser degree the episode about Nero.His murder is portrayed in a rather implied and theatrical manner effectively I think. Whether Caesar victories and brief time in power made the lot of the average inhabitant of the Empire better is a debatable matter.
