33 Beware the Ides — Even in Stockholm
Podcast: Mossbunker ReviewPublished On: Tue Mar 10 2026
Description: In this episode of Mossbunker Review, we step into the middle of March and into two scenes of political drama separated by nearly eighteen centuries: the Roman Senate on the Ides of March and the Stockholm Opera House on a masked night in 1792. What connects Julius Caesar and Sweden’s Gustav III? Both centralized power. Both believed in the force of public presence. Both were warned. And both fell beneath conspirators who claimed to defend liberty. By exploring Gustav’s theatrical kingship alongside Caesar’s fatal confidence, we consider a larger question about history itself: when does power become performance, and what happens when the stage turns dangerous?
