What’s the best way to change someone’s mind? Is it even possible? Mary Beard meets climate justice activist Mikaela Loach, to find out how she persuades people with her campaigns. Snappy slogans are essential, but Mary reveals that one of the most famous slogans ever - I came, I saw, I conquered - was actually the work of Roman Emperor Julius Caesar.
