Caesar, played by David Calder, returns in triumph to Rome and the people pour out of their homes to celebrate. Alarmed by the autocrat’s popularity, the educated élite, led by Brutus (Ben Whishaw) and Cassius (Michelle Fairley), conspire to bring him down. After his assassination, civil war erupts on the streets of the capital while Mark Antony (David Morrissey) attempts to bring Rome back under control after the conspirators’ defeat.
