About this episode
We are going to explore how the Roman Emperor became a god. It was actually something that was engineered by Augustus Caesar and inspired by the Roman general Pompey the Great.
In this 5 part series, we will look at how the Augustus Caesar created his divinity. In this first episode, we lay the ground work and set the stage for why this is important and show how it may be.
