The Assassination of Julius Caesar on the Ides of March in 44 BC cut short a fascinating alternate history. Thankfully we can piece together clues from various records and later events to recreate the scenario of what if Caesar had lived. Part 1 in our series explored his first initiative, the Dacian war. This climaxed with the siege of Sarmizegetusa and ultimately resulted in the creation of a new Moesian province up to the Danube. Part 2 then looked at Julius Caesar's return to Rome where he would celebrate a Triumph and put into many planned reforms, construction projects, and initiatives attested to by our ancient sources. But finally, he will have tired of politics and again made ready for war.

In this episode we bring to life Caesar's invasion of Parthia. We begin by looking at what preparations would have involved, ranging from mustering troops, preparing logistics, and sending out scouts. We explore how the key players were involved in these affairs in the runup to this planned campaign. However Caesar was not the only ambitious man and King Orodes the Second of Parthia will also play a role in the initial battleground of the Kingdom of Armenia.
