Rome's Most Wanted - Caesar the Fugitive

Описание: Julius Caesar was just a young man when the dictator Sulla gave him a chilling ultimatum - he must divorce his wife or he would be slated for death as a political enemy of Sulla's regime. But despite the fact that other, more respected men such as Pompey had divorced their wives, Caesar refused.

We will never know his exact rationale for this incredible risk, but this documentary uses the real story of Julius Caesar to explore Roman political thought and attitudes towards religion, marriage and the republic itself.
