These last two videos have grown my already high reputation of Octavian. He had so many things arraigned against him, yet through guile, flexibility, and charisma (and luck in a few cases), was able not only to overcome them, but triumphed over countless opponents who should have, normally, overcome him, and by the end, became the most powerful man in Rome, and arguably, the world. So, well done Kings and Generals, your work is as splendid as always.
Don't forget the ruthlessness, he used it widely (and wisely, I would say)
Ceasar chose his successor wisely.
@@emamag6455 He could be ruthless, I will admit, Octavian certainly wasn't a paragon, but he was an exceptional individual even with his occasional cruelty.
@@shadow-qy4zi Indeed.
He was very clever, and I'm sure he was a very nice person so far as tyrants go.
This period of Roman history is fascinating. So many shifting alliances and betrayals, veteran legions fighting each other, the rise of Octavian and his dynamic with Marc Antony, etc.
It certainly deserves an HBO series
@@theawesomeman9821 there was one lol
Unfortunately they had to rush through a ton of it due to the show getting cancelled early.
@@Hades_Orkos We need a good one
@@theawesomeman9821 Rome was actually good series.
We are Kings and Generals' little bro
You and K&G make amazing content 😀
You are King's and General's even nerdier little brother, in the best way possible.
@@petervarga7755 what u mean
You 2 are like that meme about Obama putting a medal on himself.

Hey, I live in today's Mutina. It's called Modena. It sure is fun to see all the roman names we are taught as children featured in a documentary. Cheers!
Mutina ==> Mutiny ? Is this root word
@@g.rogowski2462 Yeah. You guys make great balsamic vinegar in Modena!!

😎🆒... Small World 🌍 After all.... 👍
Oh cool, didn't realize this was the Ferrari city :)
can't express how I am enjoying this channel, the amount of time to gather all this information with historical accuracy and timeline of events and even war details is just mind blowing. Great job @Kings and Generals.
You said it! This channel has single-handedly blown nearly every TV-aired documentary series I've seen right out of the water!
I just got back from Lycia where I was visiting Roman ruins. I didn't know that I was treading in the footsteps of Trebollus and Dolabela! I love this channel! ❣❣❣✌
Love your channel 💐
@@shantirelaxingmusic5285 Thanks
"Don't worry Senate. Those thousands of soldiers aren't my army. That would be illegal. They are my body guards." Octavian
Mark Anthony was the JJ Abrams of Rome, never misses a chance to waste an opportunity.
But JJ Abrams was way worse than him.
@@Fallout3131 no you're not king, hold your fucking chin up high.
@@Fallout3131 I mean maybe worse than Anthony no chance worse than Abrams 😂
It shows how much Mark Anthony! Needed Ceasar to drive him.
Yeah, as long as he wasn’t in charge, Antonius could do well. When it came to him commanding… meh.
*Barbares:* Failing to bring Rome down on it's knees
*Romans:* _Fine, we'll do it ourselves_
It's surprising that Rome didn't end then and there. In a way this infighting reminds me of the final days of the Sassanids
There was no significant outside threat at the moment; Sassanids faced the Arabs immediately after their war with Rome.
They were fortunate that there was no rising power like the Abbasid’s to take advantage of the chaos.
@@michaelsinger4638 Rashidun. Abbasids came after.
sasanids got weakend by rome, sacked by inside struggles, razed by the arabs
Octavian's journey seems kinda ironic.
He first aimed to avenge Caesar.
Then he was pushed to align with his murderers to destroy Antony, who despite his selfish desires, nevertheless, was loyal to Caesar.
Now he is stuck between the two.
IMO he was pushed but he still wanted to avenge. I think he wouldn't have given up the battle if he hadn't wanted that. Also death of Decimus during the siege suited him. He was de facto the third fraction during that civil war.
I dont understand why would Octavian ally himself with caesar's murderers if his original goal is to avenge caesar by persecuting all his assassins, can anyone explain me why is this?
sounds like an anime backstory
@@dead_eye2311He needs power to be able to start the Proscriptions. It's covered in the next Video
Hello all! I was the scriptwriter and historian for this episode, if you've got any questions/feedback please do leave them below and I'll do my best to get round to them!
Peter - the only thing is bang up job! I just cannot wait for the series! It's really gripping
Great job!
what is your favourite type of cheese?
When next episode about Alexander the great?
What were the parthians doing during all this action ? Didn’t they make any move at all ? That was a perfect time to finish off their pesky roman neighbor for good.
Too bad we never got yo see this in HBO's Rome. This is utterly fascinating.
I can't wait for the rest of this series. The rise of Augustus is my favorite story from history probably.
Cicero was really the MVP of this civil war. Absolutely an incredible historical figure and proof that sometimes words cut deeper than blades...
It's almost ominous how Caesar's murderers start dying one by one in the free for all they made. It's like they are cursed.
Mutina is the episode where you actually see how capable Antonius was as a commander. It's not often in history that you loose half of your man and your soldiers still don't route but fight back, again and again. He must have been also very charismatic because otherwise after having barly any legion left, he could have convinced other leaders to fill his ranks up to 17 legions.
Completely true. Antony was a comeback king. The death of Caesar alone could have destroyed him, but he survived that. Mutina could have been a disaster, but he survived that. Then he led the Triumvirate to victory. Even his death was more due to his wife's bizarre betrayal, having never really engaged her ships.
@@TheSamuraijim87 And also senators hated being ruled by woman so they dumped Anthony
@@mohdshahnawaz1051 i was referring to Cleopatra, not Fulvia. I'm sure Fulvia and her story will be told soon.
@@TheSamuraijim87 I was referring to Cleopatra not Fulvia. Fulvia deserves her own story and ppl of Rome loved her . It was stupid Anthony who did not get it.
@@shanzboy what did Antony not get? He and Octavian were always going to fight the issue out. The Caesarean faction itself was ideologically dedicated to establishing a monopoly of power through autocratic rule in Rome, by the Caesarean faction. To rule the East, he needed Cleopatra's money, so romancing her and remaining in her good graces was good politics.
Fulvia may have had love, but she also ruled through fear and intimidation, using Roman mobs.
I was replying to the above comment, which noted that Senators "hated being ruled by ruled by a woman" Cleopatra never ruled over the Senate. She was politically dependant on them.
Considering that somehow Pompey's heirs got involved, this was a far wilder ride than I thought it'd be!
Octavian: These are just my bodyguards
Ghost of Leonidas: *Nods approvingly*
Nice
Man Anthony was so reckless and brave at the same time
Same can be said for alot of men like him, alexander the great would do the same, hell even lawrence of arabia (according to some) developed a simillar megalomania where until they are defeated they feel invincible and become more and more reckless with time
"...committed suicide with the assistance of his soldiers!" - pure Gold!
I must admit that the period between Caesar's death and the war of the triumvirates had always been rather hazy at best, and not many channels or videos explain in detail or properly. But this video explains it very well thank you.
Imagine if every single roman civil wars from Caesar to Augustulus get covered like this.
Dolabella committed suicide, with the assistance of his soldiers.
Yeah, the veteran in me wonders how much of that "assistance" was requested vs vigorously offered.
Bloody Amazing, while he had his set backs, this series I think will show that Octavius, while not a great military leader would be the best politician of the Roman Republican Era ! The man was cunning and the first two episodes are showing that and he would soon be the master of the Roman World!
Not to mention, how militarized the Roman armies were, if both sides had almost 30 legions between them. That's like 150k Legionnaire infantry, and i am assuming that won't even include the Auxiliaries and Cavalry.
He was absolutely great at delegating the crucial matters to individuals who may have had far more knowledge in certain fields than him, a crucial trait in a leader.
@@jakobtarrasericsson4295 Agreed. It's seen best with Agrippa who would remove Sextus Pompey and win the Battle of Actium for Octavian. It takes a lot to know what your limits are but as a pure politican, I don't think even Caesar and Cicero are better than him
He wasn't a bad military leader, just let his generals do them.
The same number of Legionnaire died in caesar's civil war. Holy crap with these Legionnaire alive, Rome had conquer/controll Europa, North Afrika and parts of the middle east.
He had his epic bromance with Agrippa to handle the military stuff.
Damn, being Octavian is hard. But in the end he would be the sole ruler of the entire romans. Belittled, acussed, betrayed but still becoming the greatest at the end of the civil war.
I swear, you guys do the best presentation on this subject I have ever seen. The animations, scripting, voice over, and level of detail you put into the accounts are very impressive. I've probably watched every video on this subject made by your channel at least two dozen times memorizing them. This period in history is my absolute favorite to study and you guys always knock it out of the park. Furthermore, it was a razor sharp decision to open the Wizards and Warriors channel! I've thought for a very long time how beneficial it would be to cover fiction in this same format and was very excited to see that come about! As soon as I am able I'll be joining this channel financially as well as the other one when it's eligible. Keep up the great work!!!
2 caesarian legions fighting one another is depressing af
as a spanish speeker I appreciate very much, and I am very happy that they have put an audio track in Spanish
Donde cambio el idioma a inglés? Que me gusta más
@@jaumefontsanchis8028 ajustes/ pista de audio/ el idioma q elijas
I don't know why, but I love the rome total war portrait of dollabella xD
Thank you for this video! As a Modenese it is hard to find out about the history of my city in other languages aside from Italian and about things other than food, cars, and a bucket
I know it from oversimplified, but its still a huge victory when the Modenese defeat the Bolognese while being outnumbered 5:1
Could someone over at K&G organize the roman history playlist chronologically? Cheers.
When will you make next episode about Alexander?
The greatest of all Greeks!
I love show you show character images along with their names and animations from one to another. Really helps to remember who did what and not be confused by all the different names
Great work Kings and Generals! This video and the previous one are absolute masterpieces and I'm looking forward to the next installment in the series! I really hope that's coming soon as I believe it's been over a month now, and I am eager to see what happens next.
I'm here trying to study and you keep making videos about Rome. Thanks a lot
I think Octavian was a genius playing chess when they played checkers
I enjoyed this video a lot. I wonder how many battles were fought in this Civil War. I bet it's a lot of them. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Unfortunately, this wasn't going to be the last time that governors fought against governors in Roman history.
Happened every single time there was no strong line of succession... *sighs*
Antony: I will seize Mutina!
Tribune Aquila: Veto.
Kings and Generals, it is very interesting about this battle.
I thought first that after Caesar's death the only battle that I only know is the Battle of Philippi but this Battle of Mutina is very new for me to know how Mark Antony and Octavian fight each other before being allies against Brutus and Cassius.
If the rumors concerning Hirtius were true,
Octavian's mind was sharper than steel.
None of the legionaries would have protested,
as Octavianus was the one who gave Hirtius his entourage.
Thank you , K&G .
Kings and Generals team....I am dying to know what happened next....please continue this series !!!!!!!!!!
Antony is like Pompey but after Caesar
At this rate KnG is hands down the most prolific history channel on TH-cam.
This war shows a main trait in Antony's personality instead of him to join forces with Octavian to overcome their mutual enemies and later deal with Octavian if he has to he decided to be Antony and crash everything and everyone just focusing on himself instead of the bigger picture. That's why HE could never be Caesar's heir he's too reckless and doesn't think things through!
When was the last time both Consuls had died in a single war? Against Spartacus? Hannibal?
in 82 BC Gaius Marius the Younger & Gnaeus Papirius Carbo were the Consuls. They were both part of the Marius' faction in the civil war between Sulla & Marius. Gaius Marius the Younger was the son of the multiple Consul & great general Gaius Marius who had died in 86 BC. Marius the Younger was besieged by Sullan forces in Praeneste, and killed himself when relief efforts and a breakout attempt failed. Carbo tried to flee to Africa but was caught by Pompey in Sicily and executed.
Fun fact: Julious Ceaser thout that Octavian was a weak boy but Octavian proved that he also Great like his Great uncle.
Thats not a fact at all, if he did he wouldn’t have named Octavian his heir
I was waiting so long for kings and generals to upload this 🙏🏽
Great job I'm really hyped for the series 🔥
"Tell them boys: MARK ANTONY IS NOT DEFEATED!"
you shoudl really organize the playlist chronologically
and also upload the 26 hour megacompilation. :)
The production is always superb and love watching follow up vids of K&G, on the period after the murder of Julius Caesar 🔪 All Hail Emperor Octavius Thurinus 🤴🆗
I get goosebumps when I watch these videos on Roman history. Can't wait for the next video whether it be on modern or ancient history! great job kings and generals
Sextus Propertius once wrote:
"Even if my strength should fail, my daring will win me praise: in might enterprises even the will to succeed is enough"
Pompey?
When is the next one coming out been waiting months for it.
2:45 Love the rome 1 tw picture for Dolabella
I am more anxious about the next episode of this series then any Netflix, amazon or whatever series!

I didn't live through the lives of Julius Caesar and Octavian, but I'm so happy to be able to live through your retelling
A weekend without a Kings and Generals video is usually boring.
I assume “suicide with the assistance of his soldiers” is a nice way of saying they assassinated him?
In this case, yes.
Fighting an ancient era battle in near silence sounds terrifying
Oh how the turns have tabled…
Antony in the Post-Caesar Civil Wars: A Champ
Antony vs. Octavian: Suddenly much weaker
Ahhh, I love the smell of fresh history in the morning!
Sir when is post casear civil war series is coming i am very eager to say
I love how the artwork continues to be influenced by HBO's Rome TV series.
Oh Hirtius and Pansa...the two men on which the fate of the remnants of the Roman Republic hinged...
Amazing channel, I love the Roman Empire playlist! Do you plan to cover the Dacian wars at some point as well?
Title should be more like ''Post Cesar assassination Power scramble''
"You get a civil war! You get a civil war! And you get a civil war!"
Love these videos. Very inspiring for writing stories. Thank you!
i love the span of roman history that encompasses ceaser in gaul up to cleopatra and antony's defeat.
Love these documentaries! Can’t wait for the next installment!
You can hear Caesar crying for losing his veterans fighting each other instead of the Parthians where he intended to go
"Can't take much credit, the legions and then Hirtius and Pansa did heroic work, the rest I owe to Agrippa"
I think Antony done really well. He was outnumbered his troops were exhausted...a great general and leader of men...
As a Spanish-English translator and teacher, I would recommend to hire/use the services of a real person to translate and/or read the script....it was so full of mistakes that I am thinking about using this video to warn my students against the use of online translators...."cuarto -a" was one of the best
I always wonder about how the common regular legionary soldier felt about his appointed overlords squabbling so viciously in these matters, at great cost of the blood of his comrades and possibly himself. The common soldier had vanishingly little to gain from the victory of any of these "Great Men"; and only one life to lose.
Money!!! The Future of Rome!!!
But money mostly
@@captaindak5119 the risk-reward equation was too far out of balance for your hypothesis to make sense.
@@dsnodgrass4843 I'm late but, the answer is land. Land that their descendants can inherit. Pay was better-ish and more stable in military service definitely, but land for their family definitely made it all worth it.
Woooow ... finally come back to the battles ...thanks kings and generals
One of my favourite topics. Thank you Kings and Generals Team! 😁
Very cool! I live in Asculum Picenum, and I'm pretty sure the Ventidius KnG is talking about is Publius Ventidius Bassus, the general who will defeat the Parthians in the campaign of 39-38 BC in order to avenge Crassus! Hope you'll talk about it! Great work as always!
There is so much that happened in this episode I had to start from the beginning 8 times.
I've been watching this one video since it released and I still haven't taken it all in. Like fuck, there was alot going on in such a short amount of time
You should make a video on Nader Shah.
Can't wait for the next part. Obviously most of this is already covered extensively elsewhere with HC etc but they don't go into the battle details as thoroughly as K&G do.
Can't wait for the next episode. I already know the history but these videos make it special
Ptolemy in this video looks exactly like Ptolemy from the HBO Rome series, lol
One of the best videos I have seen on the topic. Nice. Because the last video I saw, was not as good and long as that !
I'm not very fond of Roman history, but you guys make it so easy to swallow. And it is interesting as hell.
The massive scale of the battles most have been insane!
뮤티나 전투가 너무 기다렸는데 드디어 나왔네요. 감사합니다.
So what was the economic situation of Rome for Romans during this time? With the empire in full blown civil war. Couldn't imagine things were exactly "plentiful" for you're average Roman?
Another fantastic video! I love the level of detail you all put into these. The effort is very much appreciated!!
The get old bell button. What TH-cam fails to realize is that if you allow notifications, then your phone would vibrate and buzz constantly.
Dollabella sounds like it could a rapper's name, "Dollar$billa" 😂
I have seen this kind of siege before at Battle of Alesia. Caeser was everywhere when battle is brutal. At the end of the day Anthony was still chilling in his camp
Man, Roman politics were a mess. How they survived (in various forms) for 2,206 years is beyond me. :P
better than so many shows about Rome. Greatest series I have seen on TH-cam.
