So I listened to all of Dan Carlins Death Throes of the Rebublic and then watched Netflix's Roman Empire and noticed some huge inconsistencies between the two. All sorts of things were confusing to me about the Netflix show.
The Netflix show mentioned Cesar's family was on the wrong side of a civil war. Wasn't Cesar's family allied with Sulla and Sulla won? The Netflix show doesn't seem to really cover Cato or Cicero or any of the gangs in Rome. I thought Mark Antony was representing Cesar to the senate trying to negotiate before Cesar crossed the Rubicon. Didn't Cesar cross the Rubicon with only the 13th legion and not his entire army? The show made it look like Pompey didn't really care for Julia at all.
How historically accurate is Dan Carlin (Im a huge fan and listened to all his stuff) and I'm curious if the rest of this show is even historically accurate at all and worth watching or if it's just dramatized. Also for anyone who watched this show or listened to Dan Carlin can someone list some historical accuracies and inaccuracies from each? Thank you.
For the Dan Carlin part of your question, you might want to read this thread where a couple of established contributers of /r/askhistorians give their opinions on Dan Carlin's historical accuracy. While none directly deal with "Death Throes of the Republic" it might still give you an overall view on the podcast.
