Real Dictators: 本节目探讨了尤利乌斯·凯撒的生平，指出其形象在历史、好莱坞和莎士比亚作品中都被严重神话。凯撒既有英雄的一面，也有暴君的一面，他既取得了辉煌的军事和政治成就，也犯下了残暴的罪行，例如屠杀高卢人。 David Gwynne: 凯撒是一个多才多艺的人，在军事、政治、演讲、写作和爱情方面都取得了非凡的成就。他被认为是罗马历史上最伟大的将军、政治家、演说家、作家和情人之一。 Adrian Goldsworthy: 凯撒是历史上关键时刻的人物，他的名字甚至影响了后世的君主称号，例如德国的皇帝和俄罗斯的沙皇。他是一个影响深远的历史人物。 Neville Morley: 罗马人对独裁者非常警惕，凯撒的权力过大，最终被视为独裁者。虽然他取得了一些积极的成就，但他的权力过于集中，违背了罗马共和国的政治制度。

The young student kidnapped by pirates. The general who butchered the people of Gaul and led the Roman legions into Britain. The lothario famously entranced by Cleopatra. But how much truth do the legends contain?
