Thank you so much! I'm so glad you enjoyed it and also am grateful you appreciate the work I put into it. It was definitely a labor of love as I love Roman history. I'm so glad to share with all of you!
As always, Elyssa , thank you for all your tremendous research and enthusiasm in your videos about the Eternal City. Next time we're in Rome, we will look out for these Julius Caesar sites. Great video!!!
Thanks so much! I am very grateful you recognize that I put a lot of passion, work, and research into my videos. I love making them especially for people like you who let me know you enjoy them!
So true! And I live there and I am also always learning new things and seeing things I never saw before. "Non basta una vita" - A lifetime is not enough! :)
@@RomewiseI gave you a thumbs 👍 up as you requested! Excellent 👌 videos. I sure wish I had a time machine! "Vini Vide Vice"! Remember those famous words?
I have seen many other videos on Rome, but none can match the enthusiasm, clarity, the informative and interesting aspect that this lady brings to this inexhaustible topic of discussion. Bravo and kudos to her!
A great mini history on Caesar, we have been to and seen some of the places you mention especially Largo di Torre Argentina after you mentioned it earlier this year when we were in Rome in July to be where the great general met his end was spine tingling but once again you have opened up a whole new world that can be found in Rome for when we return, Brilliant advice and video once again Elyssa. Thank you
Thank you as always Peter! I'm so happy if I gave you some new ideas for places to visit in Rome on your next visit. Many thanks again for your support!
Wow thank you so much! I am so grateful for your tip, but especially because you gave it for this video - which was something I worked harder on than most videos! Thanks so much for recognizing the video - I'm really glad you liked it! I appreciate you :)
yes I know all the Julio Cesar sites in Roma and the most important events on the peninsula, my favorite and least visited and market is the crossing of the Rubicon river, today a trail beside a mayor highway and a vineyard. thank you for the memories . saludos
Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I have never been to that spot where the Rubicon was. It must be an amazing feeling to stand in that spot!
Thanks so so much, you have no idea how happy it make me, that you made it. ❤ can't wait to see it.. Hope to find a guide there can take me all thoes places.. 😊
Wow. you really do your homework. Over the years I have viewed a great many videos about Rome and the ones you produce are by far the most informative.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I'm grateful to you for noticing the work I put into this video (and many of my videos.) I love to share history and art but I also like to be thorough and accurate. I work on the background and script of many of my videos (like this one) for over a month before I actually film it. You really made my day, thank you again!
Your videos are very informative.I really liked this video of Caesar.I went to a Catholic high school and took a course in Latin.We pronounced the word Caesar as it sounded when Caesar was alive.The CA was pronounced Chaa with the accennts over the aa as being long.As A kid whenever I saw movies about the Roman Empire I always liked when Caesar was being greeted by the saying,"Hail Caesar!"
Thank you so much. I researched a lot for this video. I considered pronouncing his name the way you describe but I think it's more familiar to people today to hear it the way I said it. But I agree the etymology and the evolution of the phonemes is quite interesting! And of course, we get Kaiser and Czar from the word Caesar. Thanks so much for sharing your experience and your memories.
Mille grazie! What a wonderful education I received from you! Since I have now determined that beyond my planned vacation to Utah in 2024 I will only fly from Hawai'i to the continental USA for funerals and weddings I rely on people like you to create content through which I can experience other parts of the world. Mahalo!
Mahalo to you, as well! Thank you so much for letting me know you enjoy my videos and find them interesting and helpful. I'm sorry you are not able to travel to Italy but glad if my videos help give you a sense of the place. Thanks again for your kind words and support.
As a Julie Caesar fan, I am so glad you made this video! Hope to see all of them when my next trip to Rome! also, I highly recommend Colleen McCullough "Republic series ". Colleen spent 13 years to dig the hisotry, her Julie Caesar is like a living person: your commander, friend, family member!
That is a section of a map called the Forma Urbis as it was designed by renowned Italian archeologist Rodolfo Lanciani. The book was published in 1901 and is considered a must for students of Roman history and archeology today. You can find it here: amzn.to/43YuCHJ. If you just want that page or a page similar to it, you can search online for it. Just look for Rodolfo Lanciani Forma Urbis.
Wonderful video. You are such a wonderful resource. Did I miss Largo di Torre Argentina Area Sacra di Largo Argentina? Isn’t that where he was murdered?
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. In the description, there is a table of contents. There you will see that at minute 12:49, I go over Largo di Torre Argentina.
Hi! My wife & I love your video's. We will be in Rome, this Thursday the 23rd and are taking notes on your information. I WILL be looking for you and hoping to see you doing a video. I do have a question about Caesar assassination. You mentioned the steps he was murdered on but haven't been able to locate the place or the steps. Are they still standing in Rome?
Thanks so much for letting me know you and your wife enjoy my videos. We know the site of his assassination was on the steps of Pompey's theater. That theater is no longer intact but there are ruins of it in the area of Campo Marzio. And so we know where the steps once where. You cannot see the steps today but that pine tree marks the spot where they were. If you watch my video all about Largo di Torre Argentina (linked in the description of this video), you will see more about the theater of Pompey and how you can find it and how we know where the steps were. I hope that helps!
I would include the Regia in the heart of the forum. It was originally the home of the roman kings, then of the pontifex maximus. Caesar, being pontifex maximus himself, lived in that house, and spent his final night there. His wife had a bad dream about him dying, and they spent the night talking about it, with her failing to convince him not to go to the senate that day. And one can basically trace his steps that fateful morning, leaving his residence in the forum, walking past the still in construction Curia Iulia, going around the capitoline hill, then walking towards the Curia Pompeia where he met his doom.
Excellent point and you are right. I even filmed part of it for this video but didn't go into detail about it. Thank you for adding more depth to this video's story!
Thank you for your constructive comments. Sorry if I talked too fast. You can set the speed of a video in the bottom right hand corner of your screen and slow it down.
Now at 3 mins and you’re trying to tell history of Caesar along with fake images of him, instead of as the title, said show places. Just put in the title what you will do in the video.
You are so rude. There is nothing wrong with Elyssa giving some history on Julius Caesar before she does follow through with her title. If you don't want to watch her videos, then unsubscribe and let the rest of us enjoy her hard work. If she had only shown the traces and places of Julius Caesar, then the video would have been less than 3 minutes. Don't bother replying, you aren't worth 3 minutes of my life.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. I am grateful you enjoy my work and my videos and that's all that matters to me. I always welcome constructive criticism as it helps me improve and grow, but when it comes to people like this I pretty much ignore them. Clearly, they have no interest in my video or the subject matter, so they are not worth my time, either. Thank you again for your generous support! I really appreciate you!
Great video!! Well done!
Thank you very much!
I've been watching your videos for 4+ years and this must be the most work you've done on one! Thank you.

This is great, thanks. Coming back to Rome in April. My brother is a big Julius Caesar fan, so this is really useful.
Thanks a lot for letting me know you find my video helpful! I hope your brother enjoys it, too! Have a great trip next spring!
One could spend a lifetime in Rome and still not see or take in everything.
So true! And I live there and I am also always learning new things and seeing things I never saw before. "Non basta una vita" - A lifetime is not enough! :)

Great.
So crazy to think that just one month ago, I walked some of these steps.
I hope those are good travel memories!
How to find a sponsor in Italy to apply for Italian job visa in December😢
Sorry but that is not my area of expertise.
