About this episode

This episode discusses Julius Caesar's unprecedented Quadruple Triumph upon his return to Rome in 46 BC and the surrounding controversies.

In 46 BC, after 12 years away, Julius Caesar finally returned home to Rome. A lot had changed since he was last there. The entire Roman system had been upended, and he was now the man on top. To celebrate his homecoming, he did something that had never been done before or since. He didn’t just hold a triumph in his honor; he held FOUR. For some in Rome, it was the greatest thing they had ever seen. For others, it confirmed their worst fears.
