Alexander The Great vs Julius Caesar - a podcast by History Hit Network

They’ve both been described as the greatest military commander in the ancient world, but who really takes the title (if either of them)? Alexander, the undefeated conqueror of one of the largest empires the world had yet seen, or Caesar, a leader who was critical in expanding and creating what later became the Roman Empire?

For this episode, Tristan is joined by Dr Simon Elliott, author of Alexander the Great versus Julius Caesar: Who was the Greatest Commander in the Ancient World?Together, they analyse their leadership styles, victories, and their tactical and strategic genius, to finally answer who really was the greater military leader.
