Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome continues with an episode of the post-Caesar Civil Wars, as we look at what happened after the initial shock of Caesar's assassination. This episode will continue with the aftermath of the battle of Mutina, as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war. The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes, and that, in turn lead to the battle of Philippi that would decide the fate of the war between the Caesareans and Pompeians.

I need you guys to click this link and tell me how awesome it is: th-cam.com/video/Flw99famDEc/w-d-xo.html
I'm only 5 minutes into it, but I'm already loving it. Great visuals and story-telling so far.
The circumstances of Sigmar's birth are hilariously cool lol.
Glory to the Triumvirs! Glory to Imperium Romanum!
You say ‘’in the previous episode’’ were is the previous episode???
Who is doing a spanish dub
Death to the traitors, all hail Caesar! ^^
Thank you @Kings and Generals for years of high quality content! And yes, you will catch us in the next one, and the one after that, and the one after that ;D
Man what a missed battle opportunity on HBO Rome if only they didn't rush it.
They had to, they found out in preproduction during season 2 that the 2nd season would be it. Season 2 was supposed to be the Triumvate and season 3 woould be there break up.
They didn’t have the cash for big battles.
Bro, you literally went to the wrong era, you're supposed to be with Justinian
True, what a shamefully wasted opportunity.
the HBO ROME is one of the best tv series made, the plot is so amazing that there is no need for cheap slaughter (or expensive taking in account that it was produced in 2005 and cgi was still poor)
With the death of Brutus and Cassius, now Octavian and Antonius can be friends, right? Right?
Besties even
@@KingsandGenerals can you do video on mesoamerican warfare
this reminds of that scene in the tv show where antony was sick of octavian asking for his money so he jumped across the table and started beating him XDD
How about Lepidus? Can he become relevant after the fight is over?
@@KingsandGenerals They were literally Brothers in law
This battle is the epitome of absurd luck that Octavian has. Literally nearly loses the battle because he isn't willing to let anyone lead his half of the army, but is saved by two lucky coincidences, what makes Cassius death doubly ironic is that had he realized they were friendly cavalry it probably would have turned the tide and let them win that day.
Anthony: aight, imma build a wall and encircle Brutus
Caesar looking down from above: now, that's my boy *visible happiness*
He learned a lot in Alesia!
Liberators: “IT IS OVER TRIUMVIRS! I HAVE THE HIGH GROUND!”
Triumvirs: “I fail to see how that is my problem.”
Triumvirs: "I'm gonna put some dirt in your eye."
A terrific example of why planning is necessary. They killed Caesar but had no idea what would happen afterwards. Then Cassius panicked. Fascinating.
Yeah man , even in the crisis of third century
Hey all, I was the historian and scriptwriter for this episode, hope you enjoyed it! If you've got any questions or feedback, please do leave them below and I'll do my best to get around to them!
Well that's two names crossed off on Octavians kill list.
@@AKAZA-kq8jd You mean his Death Note lol
You’re the greatest historian in world history fam!!!!
Is there more Rome alike episodes coming in the future?
Thank you for your work!
The relationship between the members of this new triumvirate seems to be stronger than the previous one. Looking forward on them ruling the Roman Republic for many years to come.
I hope they're able to maintain good relations with Egypt. I think that's a good alliance right there. Bound to stablilise the region.
Nobody tell him...
They both seem to be able to share power pretty well with each other. They have a Rome over themselves mindset.
they were like brothers! loyal till the end!
Antonius , Octavian and Lepidus had no choice but victory or death. Caesar was too generous towards his enemies and they abused this so they had to punish end exterminate every leader who was against Caesar and his successors. But after the victory women(Livia and Cleopatra) came...
The engineering works in Roman warfare are really quite amazing.
out build your enemy to conquor him
The industriousness of Roman armies was truly remarkable.
Yeah I am really amazed. Took them one day to build a bridge over a river.
Meanwhile in the Philippines took em months to repair a little strip of road.
They could build the great wall of china in a week.
You can kill Caesar once, but you can't kill him twice.
AVE K&G!
A mere flesh wound, but alright, we'll call it a draw
@@gaius100bc Sic Semper Tyrannis
Nearly every student from the modern region of East Macedonia and Thrace in Greece has visited the site of the battle, some of us more than once, as the archaelogical site of Philippi is one of the most popular field trip destinations for schools of any grade in the region. The remains of the ancient city and especially the well-preserved theatre are fascinating. Philippi, according to Christian tradition, was also the first city in Greece proper (and Europe) where Paul the Apostle preached (ca 50 AD?) and the site where the first conversion to Christianity in Europe took place, a Greek woman named Lydia.
P.S.: A bit funny seeing at 5:33 your hometown popping up in a map of 42 BC, some 1900 years before its foundation. 😄Contemporary towns in its place were Mesembria and Sale.
@@oconnor6456 My P.S. comment referred to Alexandroupoli, erroneously appearing in the map. It would be surreal if it was about Philippi, given the context above.
@@GeorgeKatsikas114 no less the name is of another historical figure :)
Φιλε μένω σχεδόν δίπλα στους Φιλίππους, το ότι ένα ξένο κανάλι αναφέρθηκε στον τόπο μου είναι απλά απίστευτο
11:35 Posca: 16,000!?!
Marc Antony: Oh do cheer up. You're still alive aren't you?
Posca: I do hope so. If this is afterlife it is extremely disappointing.
Marc Anthony: hEhEhE
I have a strong feeling everything will turn out fine for the Republic now.
Long live the republic! And death to tyrants!
Today, Philippi is near Kavala (Neapolis). Philippi is an archaeological site of UNESCO. You can see the ancient theater, the ancient city, the museum and the location of the battle
There's something about Cassius' death that I find hard to believe. Why would he be so sure about Brutus being defeated? Even if he suspected it, why kill yourself immediately rather than try to confirm your suspicion about who the approaching soldiers were? Had he simply lost his mind at that point?
Because the fear of being captured and paraded by Mark Antony/Octavian is extremely high. Don’t forget that Mark Antony had Cicero’s head and hands displayed in the Roman forum. It would have been torture/and or humiliating to be captured alive.
One wonders what would have happened if the Triumvirate failed at Philippi...would Caesar be remembered the way he is today? Would Brutus and Cassius have destroyed any evidence of Caesar? We can only speculate!
Easy
Will all just be like
Hail Cassius and Brutus 🙌🏻
@@judeabeljangnap7241 Probably only Brutus, as they would have turned on eachother rather like Octavius, Lepidius and Antony did.
Also, is it Lepidius, we only know of due to a slave's letter found in northern Spain? He was wiped later from Roman history. Unless I am getting confused and it's another lepidius sounding name.
@@METALFREAK03 yes, Lepidus
Obrigado pela disponibilização do áudio em português. Sou fã desse canal ! Parabéns ! ("Thank you for making the audio available in Portuguese. I'm a fan of this channel! Congratulations !").
That was kind of you to make your comment available In English, Brazilian!
Ja acompanho esse canal a dois anos . E vi essa novidade.
Kings and Generals you are amazing. Muito obrigado!!!
Now i can watch it with my son! Guys, thank you so much, with all of my heart!
You guys are the best history channel to do classical history. Even better than History Marche, in my opinion. The amount of history many people including myself have learned from binge-watching your content is crazy. Thank you K&G!
They have very different styles tho both amazing channels in their own way
If you're looking for Classical History, Historia Civilis is much better than K&G. Don't get me wrong, they're still good, but HC is superior
@@Matt-eq1ys I have to disagree with this because I haven’t seen any animated battles explain step-by-step properly Kings in general s does it
@@sidp5381 You gotta be kidding me? HC goes into so much more depth in combat, and in everything else. And the primary reason that HC is better than K&G is because the latter neglects pretty much everything aside from military history, only giving basic points about the wider circumstances. HC, on the other hand, explains both the circumstances leading to battles, as well as the actual politics of the age. He's just better at giving the actual history
@@Matt-eq1ys Me: *writing almost 3 full episodes about the politics of how Octavian came to power, including events and battles not mentioned in HC, and covering the same period in 5 videos instead of HC's 3*
"HC goes into so much more depth in combat, and in everything else"
Also me: *cries*
I'm just messing btw, I do love HC's work hahaha
One of the most fascinating periods for historical study. Almost every name that comes out of this period is a genuine titan of history
When is your next 2 hour long video out? They were lifesavers during my night shifts, but I've watched/listened to them all. Now I'm back to silence and brain numbing work.
Possibly next Sunday, but if you are a Witcher fan, there is a new 2 hour video on our Wizards and Warriors channel
@@KingsandGenerals Thank you! I'm afraid not, but I'll definitely keep an eye out for a video on Sunday.
One of my favourite channels on TH-cam.
Caesar laughing in heaven at this military display
Nah, it was a disappointing sight to behold.
But at least the ending was acceptable.
@@gaius100bc Ah good to hear man, how's heaven? You met Pompey yet?
@@jonbaxter2254 Was good, but got bored. So came back as Genghis Khan to conquer Asia. So I had that going for me.
Heaven? Any person who did what Caesar did in Gaul is not going to heaven.
Cleopatra: "Antony will follow up with me, and go from the rear, with a huge flow of seamen"
Thank you so much for first the Caesar series and now the post Caesar civil wars
The numbers involved in these civil wars were colossal. Just imagine the power of Rome without the constant infighting. All the power hungry and greedy aristocrats couldn't compromise or keep their paranoia under control. Caesar would have done a lot more good. The additional campaigns would have been so interesting.
It does seems like the aristocrats were being unreasonable. I wouldn’t expect them to give their land to the poor but maybe some open space for some apartments for the law abiding urban poor
@@larrymays4244 There were attempts to reform, but any successful attempt to improve the lot of common people would have given the reformer senator lots of new grateful clients. In the dysfunctional political culture of Late Republic, senators preferred blocking important initiatives to seeing their rivals gain any advantage. Meanwhile the masses grew ever more desperate and volatile, and with this did the paranoia of elite about populism. Dictatorships and triumvirates could to some degree cut through the mess, but it wasn't until Emperor Augustus that functioning government was truly restored.
Additional campaigns would be interesting ? Rape, pillaging and bloodshed follow all military campaigns. Weather in the past or present warfare is never good. It’s an evil necessity for when strong evil men prey upon weak neighbors. Are you glad Russia invaded Ukraine because it’s interesting ? It’s just as delusional to wish for more warfare in the past as it is to wish for war in the present. War is never good, if you ever served you would know that.
@@andrewyoung8550 civilizing the lands. Conquer or die they say.
@@theonlylauri Some say we haven't changed really.
Imagine living close to that ancient town and a foreign TH-cam channel mentioning it as a documentary.. So proud
I know there are a lot more famous Roman conflicts and battles but I’ve been dying for this battle break down. I think for the most part we glance over the specifics of the fall of the republic and birth of the empire. Growing up I thought rome always had an emperor. Thank you guys for your hard work, deep research, and mentally digestible content. My love for understanding the human story has grown exponentially thanks to your content. I truly hope one day to join the ranks and inform our fellow humans on the topics of the past!
Por favor, coloquem mais vídeos em português BR, seja áudio ou legenda, isso ajuda muito. Recomendo alguns vídeos do seu canal para meus alunos, como complemento de aula. Parabéns pelo canal, excelente conteúdo.
I dont know we’re to say this so I’ll write it here, your channel is by far one on the best History Channel on internet, however, it would be really great if you could reorganise the playlist, I’ve been watching your channel for years and I still see some old videos I’ve never seen before, for all those who want to binge watch your videos by theme, could you please rearrange the playlist section, even if the series isn’t completed, it would help those who wish to stream old content. Also for all those not aware, the Kings& Generals’s podcast I really good too.
The playlists are a headache. The UI is really crappy, but, yes, we need to find a way. Thanks for watching and listening!
@@KingsandGenerals Could I perhaps help you with reorganising the playlists by chronology, geography, theme etc.?
@@DutchSkeptic it is more of a UI issue, than anything else, but thank you for your kind offer!
For some reason one of my favourite moments in Rome’s history
The clouds moving away from each other on the map reveal, a sword flying through the head of a leader who is killed, the sound effects & music, & other little details like that make this 100x times more epic & interesting. Great team you got.
Muito bom que colocaram o áudio em português, mas vou continuar assistindo em inglês para praticar o idioma. De toda forma, vai alcançar um público muito grande, o Brasil ainda carece de bons conteúdos no campo da história e esse é o melhor canal do TH-cam.
a lot of ancient history in that area...just like in every other part of Greece.
The island of thassos where Cassius was buried is amazing
Been waiting for this one! Fantastic job, as always K&G
God the troop shattering is so satisfying
Legit just finished watching the first 3 parts and now this comes out, amazing work as usual
There you guys go making my day even better, thanks Kings 👍
Wonderful. Thank you yet again.
So many epic twists, fascinating conflict. Excellent video!
One of my favorite channels and documentary series of all time! Thank you so much for all this amazing content :)
They build more walls tegen they where fighting, Caesar would have been proud
Excellent!! Gentleman!!! Very Informative!! Thank You 😊
I've been waiting this moment for the entire week 🙏🏼🙌🏼best Channel ever

Subbed to you yesterday…the quality of your videos is crazy for a TH-cam channel!
YESSS!!! I've been waiting for this battle!!! So hyped!
Yes what an awesome video! Can’t wait for hopefully the upcoming next Alexander video love that series.
Such incredible content!
Great description Love it 👍💐🌹
Another great video! love this series👍
awesome presentation!
Já amava o canal, agora com audio em Português amo ainda mais!!
That channel deserves to be number one among all historical youtube channels. Perfect.
Awesome as always
The way the battles unfolded in day one is quite comical..... I build something, then he build something, then "oh look they're distracted....ATTACK!!!"
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Kings and Generals, Greatest Military History channel, thanks a lot for these videos
Finally !!!!
Keep up your great work
Obrigado pelo vídeo.Brazil.
Thank you !
I can't wait to watch the next episode!
Finally,a good description of the battle👍
Harika bir belgesel olmuş. Teşekkürler.
Once again a great tale to listen to!
I can't wait for the full documentary of this
I prefer Devin's voice even tho I'm portuguese and thank you thorougly for putting the audio in. May I ask if its a narrator or just an auto generated one with the script? Superb vid as always, keep up the astonishing work!
Man, I love these videos.
I hope one day king generals do a video on Alexander suvorov one of the few undefeated generals in history
Can’t wait for the next video on Octavian!
These vids are great in themselves, and even more valuable in providing context to Shakespeare's excellent treatment of the subject.
Thanks!
Amazing series
I want more of this series
WELL DONE KINGS AND GENERALS THAT WHY LIKE YOU FOR SEVERAL YEARS WITH ALL THE HISTORY YOU BEEN COVERING KEEP IT UP 👍
Cool vid !
Love these there the best!
Good stuff!
Watching this for the third time. I love these videos!
Octavian always seemed to come down with some malady before a major battle. 😊 IMO, without the loyalty and skill of Marcus Agrippa (that combination was rare in the late Republic), Octavian would have never risen to power.
i can't even imagine octavian became an emperor without agrippa
octavian more like an administrator rather than a general/warlord
I liked even before i have watched! An antique battle AT LAST!
Great framing of the scope of the death of the Roman republic.
Wonderful video! The rein of Octavian was considered a successful one but of course it ushered in the permanent death of The Republic and signaled the beginning of the end for Rome as a great power.
amazing video and waited for this and the major clash between the 2 factions of the republic. ashame so many have to do for the political ambitions of a few, I hope this will be the final civil war and Rome can live in peace for a long time...

😭
@kingsandgenerals I truly love the work you gays make in every video posted and in the history it teaches. Just let me ask a question, when you'll post about the byzantine "reconquista" and the italian wars? It's been months since the last video and both are some of my favourite series yet :(
Videos are mostly ready, but other content takes precedence for a variety of reasons. We shall return to that series soon-ish.
"you gays" 🤣
Orra em português, sensacional!
Perfect❤.
What mod dud use in viedeo
Great job👍👍👍. Can you make a video about Greek independence?
The first time of hearing the renowned name Aggrippa💙💯
Great !!!
Thank you for continuing to use ROME II total war for some of your cinematics!
Loved it
ty
Please do a series on the Peloponnesian War!
Cassius: Lead assassin of Caesar and the second great leader of the Pompeyan faction. Cause of Death: Accidentally commits suicide when he thinks the battle is a complete loss instead of a draw.
I think the side of these events that really stands out to me is how there are just so many "what if" moments that could have changed so much if they'd gone the other way. Like what if Cassius hadn't killed himself there. Would the battle have gone on longer? Would they have won? Would the Triumviates have suffered greater losses that would have in turn altered what happened next? Could have either Antony or Octavian died?
Great video. Very informative. Just watched this episode of HBO's Rome; interesting to see how incorrect the HBO version is, lol.
Nice video. I had no idea Brutus met his end like that. I wonder how different history would've been had Brutus n friends triumphed over Antony and Octavian? My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
It was inevitable Rome to rule by a dictator(Emperor) because times changed. Senate of Rome was not able to make quick decisions for a problem what was far away from Italy. E. G. It took for Sulla and Lucullus to defeat Milthiades a plenty of years and generated civil war again and again[ok that had continued in the time of Emperors but Imperial burocracy was more effected]. It was a big question what would happened if Octavian gave up in the begging to be Caesar's successor. Mark Anthony became the new dictator? Or Brutus and Cassius win and after some decades new aspirant coming up as a dictator? We never know. That is unhistorical what would happen if...
