This rebroadcast is part of the very popular and ever expanding series on what Parenti calls Real History, a different and intriguing reading of a surprisingly large number all too familiar stories.
Who was Julius Caesar, a dictator or a populist? And who really was Brutus, who murdered him on the Ides of March? A young hero or a participant in a deep seated conspiracy? This intriguing lecture by the noted author, speaker, activist and scholar Michael Parenti provides surprising new insights and parallels to today that are both shocking and amusing.
