JULIUS CAESAR and the ALEXANDRIAN WAR | Assassin's Creed Origins EXPLAINED with Dr Jen Gerrish

Assassin's Creed Origins tells the true story of how Julius Caesar's victorious visit to the city of his idol, Alexander the Great, nearly became his final resting place, too. In 47 BCE, Caesar arrived in Alexandria, Egypt on a quest to form an alliance with Pharaoh Ptolemy XIII. Instead, he was betrayed and besieged in the capital, on the brink of annihilation. Matt Lewis and Associate Professor Dr Jen Gerrish recount the oft-forgotten Roman disaster in the Alexandrian War. They reveal how close Caesar really came to death, his skills as a general and a self-promoter, and the impact of the war on the rise of Cleopatra amid the chaos of the Roman Civil War.
