La vida de Julio César, uno de los más grandes líderes de la historia, está repleta de conquistas, intrigas y poder. César no solo fue un orador carismático, un general formidable y un dictador poderoso, sino también un sumo sacerdote de un culto exótico, prisionero de piratas, seductor de Cleopatra y de las esposas de sus rivales políticos, y, en un momento, un rebelde condenado por su propio país.
