Hey guys!!2 videos in one week, that is so awesome....hopefully that means you have enough support now to release at lease 2 videos per month!! keep up the good job
@@ciripa Thank you kindly. Yes in theory 2 videos per month is possible but not always. Thankfully July has been great so far, 3 videos and I expect 2 or 3 in August as well.
When people say "Pompey had superior forces" I think it's important to point out that while Pompey had more legions, Caesar's legions were a lot more experienced than some of Pompey's. They just spent 10 years conquering Gaul, while provinces like Macedon were already long pacified. Quality over quantity IMO
Not to mentioned they were harder men. There was moment in the civil war were his army ran out of food and his soldiers basically are bread that was flour mixed with grass.
In both Gaul and Britain campaigns, Caesar and his men were constantly in short of foods and supplies. In Pompey campaign, Ceasar and his men were in much much better position, they migh be in shorter food supplies than Pompey but compare to the 2 previous campaigns, they are still in paradise, they don't need to beat down ennemy castle to get access to food. The whole Pompey campaign, Ceasar didn't need to take unnecessary dramatic risks other than waiting for Pompey first move to counterattack. The thing was Pompey was so afraid of Ceasar that he didn't dare to do anything even when he has number superiority and better supplies which piut me to think that he was just a marionette to some behind the scene ambitious senators but themselves afraid of challenging Caesar directly for power since Caesar army wasn't the type of army tha you challenged then walk away unscathed.
@@michelnguyen4819 Yep. Pompey truly did nothing with his numerical superiority despite the chances A. attack Ceasar's army when part of it is still in Italy and thus Pompey's numerical superiority was at its highest and B. Intercept Mark Anthony first and destroy that army before it can join with Ceasar. Also add to that the way Pompey and the Senate lost Italy and Rome as well without really doing nothing.
In those times, Caesar legions capacity are known and acknowledge only by Caesar. Things about Caesar forces in battles weren’t known by facts and images like nowadays, even you and me in current context. If not for history books and videos from TH-cam, what do you or Iknow anything about Caesar and his Gaul legionsexcept the simply urban legend that they won lot of battles? That is my point.
@@michelnguyen4819 Yes it is quite easy to speculate for example that Ceasar downplayed his own losses. But unlike with Hannibal or with the Gauls these battles were romans fighting romans with the Roman elite heavily involved in the matter. So I doubt Ceasar could just completely made up his numbers and got away with it with no other author of the time left speculating about it. For example as far as I know Cicero was in Pompey's camp and a whole lot of writings from him have survived to this day. Although I have no idea myself if any of those relate to this civil war.
The Roman Calendar drifted because it was a Lunar based one, so a person called the Pontifex Maximum was supposed to correct it, Caesar was that person and had been in Gaul for 10 years... So by the time he did his crossing the Calendar was out of order severely and he realized it was Fall not Winter as the Pompeian forces believed. Still dangerous but not impossible and his enemy wasn’t gonna think he would cross in supposed “Winter” P.S. Caesar with a help from an aid redid the Calendar to a sun based one he saw in Egypt even corrected the errors in it to make sure there wasn’t the slightest bit of drifting. So enjoy possibly one of the most Philanthropic acts in history.
I want to thank HistoryMarche for our wonderful and smooth collaboration, also for believing in me and my work and for accepting to promote it through this mini series but also helping to make it much better. I hope that we will continue along the same lines and produce together even more content in the future. Its been a long and hard road but i hope the outcome will be worthy of the channel.
Ceasar's gave his men an incredible speech after this defeat. I wish you had included it in the video. It was crucial in Ceasars legions gaining back their morale. After the speech Ceasars men were so amped up they were ready to engage in battle immediately after but Ceasar thought it best that they not engage again so soon after the defeat.
“I have been your commander for nine years; under my leadership, your efforts on Rome’s behalf have been crowned with good fortune; you have won countless battles and have pacified the whole of Gaul and Germany. Now, I ask you to defend my reputation and standing against the assaults of my enemies." (Excerpted)
I think one of the reasons he wrote in third person was for his name to be heard in the public assemblies, since his memoirs were mostly reports to the senate.
@@hocestbellumchannel and he wanted it to sound neutral. He was writing about his own acomplishments and naturally he exagerated sometimes and by writting in 3rd person he managed to make ig look more neutral
The power of Illeism (yes, that' the technical term) Rankevius Magnus explains why he did it quite well, but to add: it was hardly unique to Caesar: Xenophon used it too.
@@threestepssideways1202 Narration is a lost skill. Chiefly displaced by too many US American journalese punchy, sports-enthusiasm headliners or reading-to-two-year-olds techniques. Add to this the recent habit of making each sentence a question, indeed sometimes every other (significant) word, and one is left bobbing along unsure of where one is - or how one got there. ;o)
These uploads are amazing. Seeing the troops move about adds so much more to the story that a book could never recreate. I am constantly in awe of how far the ancients had to march just to achieve their political and military goals. The logistics involved in keeping an army in the field for many months on end with what they had availiable shows just how sophisticated they were. People like Julius Caeser and Alexander the Great were individuals with amazing levels of ambition and drive. One wonders if they were slightly mad!
It would be so dope if there was a game encompassing all campaigns of Caesar starting with his first battles in Greece and Hispania, and ending him becoming first Emperor, but the genre would be mix of total war and Story line where player can choose which way to go and what routes to take to some extent, and whatever route was chosen, would have a different battle type. After each battle, you only get to keep troops in your rank that survived the battle, for next conquests. For example: in this story line, player can choose either take sea route, with % being detected and u have to battle it out. If not detected you landed fine, but later have supply problems, as historically Caesar chosen. Or, player can choose to take land route which takes longer, and u have to go thru many small local skirmishes to reach your destination. Based on how many troops left in your army after whatever route was chosen, you must then continue on, in this case to fight Pompei. Would be awesome to play smth like that. maybe one day.
Excellent video, great summary of all the logistics involved, plus I love your animations now, as well as the faithful recreations and coloring of the official portrait busts of Pompey, Caesar, and Antony. It really brings them to life!
Fantastic video! Really shows the genius of Caesar's use of speed and diversion even in the face of logistical issues. Julius was truly the master of "not joining the battle unless you know it is won already"
I watch so many youtube history videos (kings & Gs, Epic, historia civilis) that I rarely comment down below. You always have great content, but this was a breakthrough video with unique siege animations that challenges the standards for other history channels on youtube. very impressive work and beautiful eye candy
Thanks old pal. AE does all this swimmingly, though there are various ways to do it. Very glad you liked it. For this mini series Hoc Est Bellum does much of the work (graphics, animations), while I do the post-production (editing, sfx, music, and some corrections).

Thank you kindly sir. I too am happy about the collaboration with Hoc Est Bellum. Make sure to check out his channel as well. The link is in the description.
I've read this story probably 20 times as it's always been the hardest of Ceasar's battles to picture how it went down in my head. This was extremely helpful seeing it in visual form. Thank you for helping me wrap my head around how this went down!
Yet another awesome video! Would it be possible for you to cover Timur (Timurlane) and his conquests? There’s barely any videos on TH-cam about him, and even less with a level of quality like yours.
@Soturian You need more than luck to conquer all of Gaul, win battles against all odds like Alesia and Pharsalus, and become the dictator of Rome mate... Caesar is well known because he was a great general and arguably the best military commander Rome ever had.
Oh Pompey had chances all right, but failed to do anything with them. Starting with Ceasar arriving with a much smaller army to his doorstep. A huge gamble on Ceasar's part if you ask me.
@@johnmurdoch3083 And Hannibal probably later wished he would have first fought a civil war so that rest of his state wouldn't have been so bad when he fought the romans.
Thank you kindly. Hoc Est Bellum takes the credit for most of these details in this video. If you haven't checked out his channel, you should definitely see what he has over there. He also makes animated history battles.

A fun fact about "Caesar's personal accounts of the civil war" It's true they were supposed to have been personally written by Caesar as were his commentaries on the Gallic wars. However some historians believe that his civil war commentaries were actually written by his secretary. I also think you should do a better job of pointing out that Caesar's accounts of his losses are almost certainly lower than they actually were.
New viewer here. So far I'm loving this channel; especially the narrator's voice and the unique layout for the battle sequences. After finishing most of Bazzbattle's, KingsAndGeneral's, and EpicHIstoryTV's videos on Rome and Greece, excited to check out your videos on these topics, especially your series on Hannibal. Cheers.
Part 2 is on the Hoc Est Bellum channel, make sure to check it out. The link is in the description. We will definitely do more Caesar videos, and possibly extend this mini series as well.
I was drawn to this channel thanks to the Punic Wars videos, and I subscribed. I love the ancient stories, and I love to play 90s strategy and battle sims, so I'm really learning a lot from these videos to help me out. :) I know you get a lot of requests, but I was never taught any of this stuff at school, so I'd be interested in everything B.C, Trojan, Spartan, Sumerian, Phonetician, etc. And anything Roman. :)
Hehe, thank you kindly Barris. Always appreciate the feedback. Much of the work on this video was done by Hoc Est Bellum (graphics, animations), while I did the post-production (editing, sound effects, music etc.). I'm happy that we decided to collaborate on this two-part mini series. Check out his channel for some more battle videos. His channel is new and doesn't have many videos, but they'll come over time.

@@HistoryMarche I already subscribed! It's really extraordinary stuff for such a small channel so I look forward to seeing more of his stuff. And I look forward to more of your stuff!
In Ceasar's account, Civil War, he talks about nothing but hunger, lack of supplies for men and horses while Pompeï was extremely ample provided for. His soldiers with loud voices mocking the soldiers of Ceasar for being hungry while their bellies are fattening up. This is what eventually caused Ceasar's move and the battle and the ferocity of Ceasar's troops.

I've got to say the narrator for History March has the most distinct and interesting voices and that gives the subject matter more intensity! I hope they dont loose him!
Great work with exceptional details. The Pompian war against Parthians had not been covered by any Channel it will be great to your fantastic channel to take the initiative. It will be a great title,"Rise of Pompey Magnus"
I think Pompey would deserve a great movie , there are so many movies about Caesar in which Pompey the GReat is just an episode of Caesar´s life. He definitely deserves more. After Alexander the Great, the only "GREAT" of ancient history was Pompey.
Thank you very much. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the support. Make sure to also check out Hoc Est Bellum, he did the lion's share of work in this one.
Shame he didn't mention how it wasn't really winter when Caesar sailed. The calendar hadn't been reset for years. This was why Pompey felt safe and why Caesar managed to sail across so freely.
Thank you very much. Make sure to also check out my friend's channel. He also makes animated battle videos. Here's the link: th-cam.com/channels/l5m12RUvypT4e7w-mWrzsA.html
I'm impressed by how the Romans employed trench warfare before the American Civil War and WWI nearly two millenniums later. Surely the Romans were a head of their time.
Should have mentioned since Caesar was the pontifex Maximus he was in charge of calendar and knew it was misaligned which is why his crossing was mostly uncontested
I am loving this!!!!! Looking at Ceasr's life and achievement I always thought as if the battles he won is being cherry picked and told over and over again until we are sick and tired of hearing it . History should be neutral and unbiased and who is there more true to that belief than HistoryMarche. Kudos to you. Will be waiting for the next part.
Thank you very much. Part 2 is currently 'under construction' and will be available on the Hoc Est Bellum channel (link in description), once it's finished. Make sure to check out his channel, it doesn't have many videos now, but it'll grow over time.
I am a history student at university. I'm doing a job about the civil war of Caesar and I want to use the detailed maps you use in your videos. Where can I find them? If anyone knows, I appreciate it.
Excellent video. Can you make video explaining the political situation that led to the civil war in the first place? I really like the details you put in the videos. Now when's my boy Hannibal coming? And as usual, superb video
In fact, it will be pretty cool if you made videos explaining political situations in ancient Rome. They had interesting politics. And videos on the Gallic wars would also be cool. Will you also be doing the Anatolian campaign, the African campaign and the Spanish campaign because judging by this video, you will stop after Pharsalus.

A fun fact about "Caesar's personal accounts of the civil war" It's true they were supposed to have been personally written by Caesar as were his commentaries on the Gallic wars. However some historians believe that his civil war commentaries were actually written by his secretary. I also think you should do a better job of pointing out that Caesar's accounts of his losses are almost certainly lower than they actually were.
New viewer here. So far I'm loving this channel; especially the narrator's voice and the unique layout for the battle sequences. After finishing most of Bazzbattle's, KingsAndGeneral's, and EpicHIstoryTV's videos on Rome and Greece, excited to check out your videos on these topics, especially your series on Hannibal. Cheers.
Thank you kindly. Welcome to the channel.
This is the best narrator! Never change him again, please!
Good stuff! Do you have any plans to cover the rest of Caesar's Civil War?
Part 2 is on the Hoc Est Bellum channel, make sure to check it out. The link is in the description. We will definitely do more Caesar videos, and possibly extend this mini series as well.
okay this vid is fuckin epic, from the precise timeline in history to the soundtrack to the narration, E-P-I-C I SAY
HOC EST BELLUM, ROMA VICTOR !
What a detailed and scrupulous work you have done. Hats off
BEST CHANNEL of this kind!!! Congratulations HistoryMarche, astonishing presentations. And they are better and better!
Thank you sir.
Damn, that was a great presentation. The expressive voice really adds to the drama. Thank you.
Excellent work gentlemen.
Bravo.
The attention to detail, especially with the maps, is a sight to behold. Kudos!
See age of empires players even caesar have done the mistake of leaving a hole in the wall
Hahaha
Its ok hoi4 players, the French left a hole in their wall aswell
(Tis just a jest, let it pass)
Both Caesar and Pompey: FORTIFY! FORTIFY!! FORTIFY!!!
SIEGE!! SIEGE!! SIEGE!!
I was drawn to this channel thanks to the Punic Wars videos, and I subscribed. I love the ancient stories, and I love to play 90s strategy and battle sims, so I'm really learning a lot from these videos to help me out. :) I know you get a lot of requests, but I was never taught any of this stuff at school, so I'd be interested in everything B.C, Trojan, Spartan, Sumerian, Phonetician, etc. And anything Roman. :)
Thank you sir. Glad you enjoy the content. Hannibal is coming in August :)
Great video HistoryMarche! And awesome 3D animations - my computer suffers just thinking of rendering that haha
Hehe, thank you kindly Barris. Always appreciate the feedback. Much of the work on this video was done by Hoc Est Bellum (graphics, animations), while I did the post-production (editing, sound effects, music etc.). I'm happy that we decided to collaborate on this two-part mini series. Check out his channel for some more battle videos. His channel is new and doesn't have many videos, but they'll come over time. Part 2 of this mini-series will also be published on Hoc Est Bellum - link to his channel is in the description.
@@HistoryMarche I already subscribed! It's really extraordinary stuff for such a small channel so I look forward to seeing more of his stuff. And I look forward to more of your stuff!
? What about his campaign in Spain (Battle of Illerda) before the crossing? You could’ve mentioned that...
That could be included as a separate chapter of course
In Ceasar's account, Civil War, he talks about nothing but hunger, lack of supplies for men and horses while Pompeï was extremely ample provided for. His soldiers with loud voices mocking the soldiers of Ceasar for being hungry while their bellies are fattening up. This is what eventually caused Ceasar's move and the battle and the ferocity of Ceasar's troops.
A very well done video, nothing less of our expectations!

Alot.of.important untold details
Great vídeo
Thanks
I've got to say the narrator for History March has the most distinct and interesting voices and that gives the subject matter more intensity! I hope they dont loose him!
No one:
Caesar: BUILD A WALL OR A PALISADE
4:00 i feel like it would have been cool to point out HOW he managed to cross without being caught, as it is quite an interesting fact
So perfect the animation is! I'm so appreciate your work
Thanks you so much
Always enjoy these videos! Any plans to cover the Battle of Thymbra at some point?
That's a good suggestion for another mini series. Perhaps Battle of Pteria and then Thymbra
I was making a playlist of human history and just got to this part and this channel managed to upload.
Your performance by telling the story encouraged me
I have always wondered how the romans builded so many fortifications in such a short time in comparison to others.
this battle is One of my favorites in history.
Great work with exceptional details.
The Pompian war against Parthians had not been covered by any Channel it will be great to your fantastic channel to take the initiative.
It will be a great title,"Rise of Pompey Magnus"
That's because everyone knows how Pompey had been defeated but little know how he had already got to power.
I think Pompey would deserve a great movie , there are so many movies about Caesar in which Pompey the GReat is just an episode of Caesar´s life. He definitely deserves more. After Alexander the Great, the only "GREAT" of ancient history was Pompey.
Awesome video, I came from History Civilas who is also awesome but your video made it more awesome. Thank you so much. Subscribed.
Thank you sir. Welcome to the channel.
I just can't stop loving this guy's voice.
Who was that crazy fellow who attempted to take out Caesar ?! That's your CO !
The best vídeo u ever made!!
Gratzz
Great work as usual. You make easy to understand and enjoy the History. Keep making it and thanks!!
These videos are fascinating and well produced.
Thank you sir.
This narrator is top voice produced on youtube.
The fuck it is. It's middling at best.
this is a top level documentary and a grade-A channel ! Watched your entire playlist and I can;t wait for more. Will support on Patreon as well
Thank you very much. Welcome to the channel and thank you for the support. Make sure to also check out Hoc Est Bellum, he did the lion's share of work in this one.
Shame he didn't mention how it wasn't really winter when Caesar sailed. The calendar hadn't been reset for years. This was why Pompey felt safe and why Caesar managed to sail across so freely.
Too nice video with clear explaining of events and behind struggle situations among polarisation centres
these videos are so good in details i cant express how much i love these videos....just wow
Thank you very much. Make sure to also check out my friend's channel. He also makes animated battle videos. Here's the link: th-cam.com/channels/l5m12RUvypT4e7w-mWrzsA.html
Caesar without supplies for weeks *PANIC*
Hannibal without supplies for 16 years still crushed his enemies!
Please do more 100 years war videos! Agincourt would be interesting
Definitely will. I planned Agincourt a long time ago but something always comes up. Perhaps time to revisit this.
@@HistoryMarche yess also could you make Imjin War too? One or two is enough I guess
Hey Pompey was a tactical beast himself, damn. Unlucky he just came up against a legendary tactician.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
I'm impressed by how the Romans employed trench warfare before the American Civil War and WWI nearly two millenniums later. Surely the Romans were a head of their time.
Beautiful! 2 bucks well spent. Congrats!
Thank you sir. Always a great feeling to get positive feedback from the Patreon army.
what a great video. I enjoy this quiet a lot.
The narrator is the physical manifestation of the feeling you get when the barber shaves the back of your head with clippers.
The map detail!!!!! Very impressive!
Good to see another notification with a new episode from you guys 👍
Ilirichum is the place that gave more Emperors to Rome then anyone
All of them were roman the Illyrians had been massacred during the great illyrian revolt 😊
Excellent video!
I cant say how much i love this videos!
Are CuriosityStream documentaries animated like your videos?
Some are, or at least parts of them. The Bronze Age mini series has a lot of animated scenes.
@@HistoryMarche thank you for answering I'll make sure to visit them
Thank you so much for posting youre amazing videos.
You are also amazing person for taking youre time to do so.
Glad you like them!
Should have mentioned since Caesar was the pontifex Maximus he was in charge of calendar and knew it was misaligned which is why his crossing was mostly uncontested
I am loving this!!!!! Looking at Ceasr's life and achievement I always thought as if the battles he won is being cherry picked and told over and over again until we are sick and tired of hearing it .
History should be neutral and unbiased and who is there more true to that belief than HistoryMarche. Kudos to you. Will be waiting for the next part.
Thank you very much. Part 2 is currently 'under construction' and will be available on the Hoc Est Bellum channel (link in description), once it's finished. Make sure to check out his channel, it doesn't have many videos now, but it'll grow over time.
Thank you sincerely for not saying something absurd, like... "POMPEE". Seriously. Thank you 👍
I am a history student at university. I'm doing a job about the civil war of Caesar and I want to use the detailed maps you use in your videos. Where can I find them? If anyone knows, I appreciate it.
Panic doesn't win battles, Cessar's boys ! Get yourselves sorted out !
Excellent video. Can you make video explaining the political situation that led to the civil war in the first place? I really like the details you put in the videos. Now when's my boy Hannibal coming? And as usual, superb video
Thank you sir. Good suggestion as well. And Hannibal should be coming in August after Ain Jalut.
In fact, it will be pretty cool if you made videos explaining political situations in ancient Rome. They had interesting politics. And videos on the Gallic wars would also be cool. Will you also be doing the Anatolian campaign, the African campaign and the Spanish campaign because judging by this video, you will stop after Pharsalus.
@@Nimish204 We'll definitely consider doing that. Perhaps as another mini-series.
@@HistoryMarche superb video again. On an unrelated note what is the Battle of Ain Jalut?
Mamluks vs Mongols. Major victory for the Mamluks.
Where's Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo ? Oh wait, wrong war..
No, right war. They're stuck on a tiny spit of land, trying to build a raft.
Well plugged. Most convincing add for Curiosity Stream yet.
Too nice history video with clearly explaining and complex plans of attacking 👍👍👍🙏🏽🙏🏽👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much 😀
Ohhhh daaannnnnggggg i found another legendary youtube channel
Welcome to the channel.
Make sure to check out Hoc Est Bellum channel as well. He did the lion's share of the work in this series and he also makes animated battle videos.
@@HistoryMarche oooohhhhhhh yeeeeaaaaahhhhhh thank you!
