Janet McTeer narrates all three episodes of this documentary which explores the rise and fall of Julius Caesar and the impact of his actions. Historian Tom Holland and podcaster and former soldier Rory Stewart offer differing perspectives of the Roman general turned dictator, alongside dramatised scenes which depict his rise to power and his comprehensive dismantling of the Roman republic before his murder by those who feared his tyranny.
