I like Suetonius' version of Sulla's meeting with Caesar "Have your way and take him; only bear in mind that the man you are so eager to save will one day deal the death blow to the cause of the aristocracy, which you have joined with me in upholding; for in this Caesar there is more than one Marius."
That stateman look, that uncle like aura, I think I can relate with him with my chicks problem and give me sound advice, have a drink or two or plan for things to conquer, like the hearts of those pretty ones, or some territory worth captivating, for a movie shooting, of the arts and greats.
It should be pointed out, Tony Robinson isn't the "host"....And that's Sir Tony. THough I am DELIGHTED he doesn't use it. He WRITES the programmes that he fronts. There are lots of actors who are pleasant/good looking people, but, er, not all that bright. Even tried to listening to actors' commentaries on DVDs? "Yeah, he was just great, just great. And, look how great she is. It was just great working with her. The work these guys did, I was like, Wow, like, it was great it was awesome." It's, ahem, great, that they're so positive. But listening to even 20 minutes of that stuff? It's against the Geneva Convention. Tony Robinson knows things, he's got actual knowledge in his head, and can converse about it, in "real" time. THat's why he fronted Time Team, because he's able to have conversations with archeologists and historians without needing a script and staged interactions. He's also good at running/ organising things. When he became head of the actors' union, it was half a million pounds in debt. He oversaw a big restructuring and brought it out of debt.
"Spartacus was not a revolutionary. He was little more than a bandit." How do you know? All the information we have on him is from the Romans written decades later. So when you say that, it is your opinion.
Because he didn't have the brains or foresight for longevity to keep fighting against rome hence he was a bandit a one hit wonder, rome didn't take him seriously thats how he lasted as long but when rome turned on the heat he was done!
@@LostDisciple24 sources written at the time that survived like all the others, thats how we know about all these historical figures along with archaeological evidence too
What Tony doesn't mention about Caesar's incident with the pirates is that it was a money-making proposition for Caesar. His men raised the money, but when he recaptured the ransom from the pirates he didn't give it back to repay those who had pledged the money. He kept it all! And spent it on his political career.
I have been harsh on certain matters in my comments on these before - but have always given a thumbs up (though that was bad in their times - should be a thumbs down = good = sheath your sword). Anyway - Thank You for These! (And I think the raw meat was just to make a point. Though that is what "rare" means to many.)
@@lizicadumitru9683 maybe if it's checked and from an upscale place, but even if I ate meat, I would never eat it raw. Why the hell would you want to? It can easily still have parasites. Anyway, the one shown here is clearly NOT from an upscale place.
I think I kind of like Spartacus. I know you consider him a little more than a Bandit but he somehow convinced thousands of people to join his calls. And to me it sounds like you got too much of a kind of Cardon for Julius Caesar even though it sounds like he just showed up and started arresting people.
I’ve studied Ancient Rome for years, especially the Republic, but it wasn’t until recently that I knew that Ides literally meant ‘the middle.’ Somehow , I had missed that, lol.
Interesting that the British Empire emerged out of the Roman Empire. The British Empire an even bigger world power but not spoken of in the same glorious way as is the Roman Empire. Time is a great healer, they say. One day, the British Empire will be spoken of in glorious terms.
I looked up blue steak, I guess the bacteria is on the outside, so they only cook the outer layer and eat the rest of the meat practically raw. Sounds gross to me, but safe if cooked properly.
CAESAR in the Sparticus slave rebellion?? I wondered, NEVER EVER SAW, READ, HEARD, EAT, ANYTHING concerning his involvement? Where O Where did I not know this in other information sources. Your prodigal sons the USA, and of course we love you guys.
What is this, just a shitty rip off of the Tony Robinson series? Funny thing is, in the original video, all the comments are about the rare steak as well. People are stupid.
I'm a bit jarred by that steak. While I understand Westerners likes their steaks 'rare', but, surely, that was too undercooked. So much so that I almost jumped out of my skin and scream like those PETA activists in the duck farm incident.
Believe me, not all Westerners like it like that. In fact, me and a lot of people I know can't even handle medium rare, let alone raw meat. It's just purely disgusting
Never realized that Jesus and any historical figure were contemporaries. when the name of the channel is Absolute History and name Jesus, is no much History left and less Absolute.
Jesus was real, whether you'd like to believe He was the son of God or not. In the Torah, the precursor to the Bible, He is read more as a prophet who's SOG status is symbolism or a metaphor. In the Bible, He is read as the literal SOG. But in both Jesus is a very real, very alive human being.

Stupid of me in hindsight lol.

Kind of like the way we view that one guy who started mormonism.
That steak was still mooing!
A good vet could save it
@@pla5730 🤣🤣🤣
You should try cooking that meat with fire.
not if it is a blue steak you dont
🤣🤣🤣
Could that beef be any rarer? My god.
My thought exactly, it's still mooing
Same thought went through my mind 😣😣
Was thinking the same thing
Right
Its looks so good though, i'm drooling 😢
ive watched this documentary three times and i cant get over how raw that meat is
That meat in the beginning looked gross as hell
That steak is raw AF.
I had a hard time focusing on what was being said because that raw steak was so distracting.
i thought it was raspberry pie at first :0
its called a blue steak
@@paulus121212 as in you can still see the Blues in the cow's eyes? LOL no I second his temperature choice

Damn dude , cook your food.
its called blue steak
@@paulus121212 which is pink
Are you sure that steak is safe to eat?
I went down eight comments before seeing anything about the actual documentary. The moral? that area is rawer than a skinned knee
Whole documentary about one of the most famous names ever and we all agreeing the beef is the main attraction lol 🤣
Always love Tony Robinson's narrations. Thank you for the upload.
5yrs later and I still can’t get over that beef. 😭😭
I did not appreciate the zoom in on that steak :( but I'm staying for the rest of the content and leaving a like

@@Stardust_7273 It's more nutritionally dense raw yet calorically deficient. Preference is what it is.
I can’t get over that steak. Why put it on a grill for a few seconds? Might as well eat straight from the fridge
Enjoyable to watch Baldrick/Manuel, as the real him. Engaging and charming. A wonderful host.
He's more than a host...he writes these things. Tony Robinson, unlike many actors, is very very smart.
I agree.
Nice they got some documentary in between the ads. 🙄
What a cunning plan: following in the footsteps of Caesar!

Baldrick gnawing on a bit of raw cow.
Why did you not wait until the animal was dead before you put it on your plate ?
A decent vet would get that bit of beef back on its feet!!
Between the still alive meat and the bizarre poses this guy does I just can't do this video
Well thanks, marc..
Is the narrator the actor from blackadder?

Yup he became a cartoon. Asterix and Obolix.
Do you not cook food in England? That streak was disgusting
He's in Italy rome! Hence the documentary about ceaser!!!
let baldrick eat his steak at least its not a turnip xD
I came to see if the top Comments would be about the bloody gore he was consuming at the beginning. I wasn't disappointed!😝

I've ate steak 🥩 raw not even cooking it with a little salt and a one sauce it's actually very good . Sorry to bother you sir.✌️
I thought that meat had something to do with Caesar’s stabbing and it made me cringe
I almost gagged when I seen that purple raw steak... That's how you get parasites or worms, eating raw flesh

Theres no historical evidence that caesar fought spartacus! Crassus is credited with the kill
Everyone who uses a sword will be killed by a sword.
48:05 minutes of whining and opining instead of deep historic content. Feels like one of those loser reaction video duets with a brilliant talent.

The narrative has no different from all the previous false narratives.
Claiming something is nice and all but how about you back up your statement with information.
What's the actual true narrative? That Caesar was actually an alien from the planet Zmarf?
Completely ruined by unnecessary background racket. Switched off and downvotee.
Caesar prob lied ab p much everything lol he’d prob just execute any soldiers that said diff lmao 😂
It seems that everybody like to cook their steak until it turns in to coal. That is how you RUIN perfectly good meat.
