96 - Gallic Wars 6: Manhunt

Caesar fights through enemy tribes and orders a Purge in his manhunt for Ambiorix, in part 6 of our series on Caesar’s masterwork of psychology, strategy, and propaganda: On the Gallic War (De Bello Gallico).
 
This is a world-history making story (the conquest of what’s now modern France), told by a world-history making storyteller. 

Caesar entered Gaul as a mere politician. He returned 9 years later as a conqueror - and an enemy of the state. He tells how it all happened with his own pen.

In this episode:

• The hunt for the crafty Ambiorix and his renegade tribe
• The exploits of Titus Labienus and of Publius Sextius Baculus
• Hints of Civil War…
• (and Druids and ancient cows)
