The Ides of March is on the 15th March, the anniversary of Caesar’s assassination. Peter Stothard is the author of The Last Assassin: The Hunt for the Killers of Julius Caesar. It’s a brilliant account of the assassination, and the aftermath, featuring Mark Antony, Brutus, Cassius, Octavian and one Cassius Parmensis.

In addition to this, we chat about what it can teach us with Putin, and whether assassination is really what we want. Consequences…In Part Two, we go on to talk about RFK, Abraham Lincoln, Margaret Thatcher and Tony Blair.
