For the fourth time, listeners provide questions and Rhiannon and Matt answer! In this episode: - Was Livia the scheming sociopath that Robert Graves portrayed? - What is the difference between Caesar and Augustus? Are the titles the same? - What did the Romans write their manuscripts on? - How did the Romans picture the shape of their empire? - Could a senator quit the senate? - What were the limitations of Roman naming conventions? - Would Donald Trump make a good Roman Emperor? - What happened between Caesar and Titus Labienus? - What are some of the lesser known Roman gods? - Did Caesar actually say 'I came, I saw, I conquered'? ‘Caesar’s Gallic War’ podcast is now crowdfunding on kickstarter. Guest: Dr Rhiannon Evans (Senior Lecturer, Classics and Ancient History, La Trobe University)
