Julius Caesar: The Ransom — Sailing into Captivity | Epi: 1 #Viral #JuliusCaesar #historyfacts

Julius Caesar was captured by pirates at 25 — and told them their ransom was too low. This is the story of the ransom, in his own voice. I AM HISTORY brings real historical figures back to narrate their own documented lives. Season 1 is I AM JULIUS CAESAR — the rise of a nearly-broke young Roman who became the most powerful man in the world. In Episode 1, "The Ransom": the kidnapping that revealed exactly who Caesar was — defying the dictator Sulla, 38 days held captive at sea, and the promise he made to the pirates that everyone thought was a joke.
