It was one of those discoveries
that made the headlines. It was only a few years ago, an archaeologist
was diving right here, searching for remains
on the riverbed. He's down there,
and he spots a bit of marble. He brings it up to the surface,
still dripping, takes a closer look
and then shouts out, "Putain, mais c'est Cesar!" Which could only be translated as,
"BLEEP me, it's Caesar."

Movie Summary
Mary Beard is on a mission to uncover the real Caesar, and to challenge public perception. She seeks the answers to some big questions. How did he become a one-man ruler of Rome? How did he use spin and PR on his way to the top? Why was he killed? And she asks some equally intriguing little questions. How did he conceal his bald patch? Did he really die, as William Shakespeare put it, with the words Et tu, Brute on his lips? Above all, Mary explores his surprising legacy right up to the present day. Like it or not, Caesar is still present in our everyday lives, our language, and our politics. Many dictators since, not to mention some other less autocratic leaders, have learned the tricks of their trade from Julius Caesar.
