@Black Wolf Hm. Well it was very interesting. I've read Goldworthy's Life of a Collosus, and I *thought* I remembered him mentioning the significance of the African province as a bread basket, but likely didn't emphasise it in the battles that took place there. It's a fairly plausible reason for its contestation, although to be fair at that point in the war there weren't too many more theatres for the Optimates to take advantage of. The only reason that Hispania rose up again is because Quintus Cassius F'd up his governorship so badly.
A funny story is supposedly Caesar was first to step off the boat when landing in Africa, and as he did he tripped and fell ( which the legions watching took as a bad omen for the campaign). Caesar thinking fast reached down and grabbed two handfuls of sand and shouted "I've got a hold of you Africa!" Prompting laughter from his men.
@@Mrhomeless78 No, it was this invasion of Africa. The native Britons contested the Romans on the beaches during those invasions (at least the 1st one IIRC).
@@BrettCagwin49ers Yeah, second time Caesar outsmarted them by waiting a week or two so they left the beaches they had been watching, waiting for him to come. Though I can't remember if that was intentional actually, haha. I often wonder how much of it is true. We have the details because Caesar himself wrote them down. Obviously he boasted but like, are there parts that are just whole clothe fabrications? We'll never know. I'd like to think most of it has to be true with how successful he was.
@@RexGalilae Mate it was a joke on how military theory would advice against such a move in those circumstances. However Caesar had veterans who could get away with this if they pounced quick and decisively enough. And it worked.
@@bza6874 I do belive it I had experience with some highly chrasmatic sweet talkers who basically change the mind of the people protesting against them only with words .
Barring some historical uncertainty and/or intentional similarity, I guess it can be attributed to the characteristics of the age. Both Caesar and Alexander were the heroes of their times, specially among the soldiers, who I assume would view them as almost godlike at the height of their campaigns. These legions were loyal to Caesar first and foremost, and to Rome second. In the modern era, very few individuals could inspire troops in this fashion (maybe Napoleon?), as their motivacional role for the army is taken over by nationalism.
Very impressive how Caesar's man could have kept calm and steady while performing that bi-directional charge when they were surrounded....most of the other armies in history just collapse and get slaughtered. Stunning discipline.
Especially considering a lot of them weren't veterans. Real testament to the training of Roman Legions that even without having years of experience, they could pull that off. Suggests that they put in a ton of work on the drill square practicing things like that! Like you say, impressive stuff!
veterans ...veteran legionaries!... 10 k or 15 k of them could beat without problem in that era, the opponent 30 k, most of them were raw conscripts ...Caesar knew this and was calm
Hey everyone, I'm the historian and scriptwriter for this episode! If you got any questions or feedback for me, leave them below and I'll get around to them as fast as Nunidian cav gets around an armies flanks/when I can!
You are awesome! Since i am Greek I have to say that I would be excited to see more episodes of ancient Greece battles and myths! Anyways, keep up the good work!
I knew Caesar was an amazing commander but didn’t really understand the actual incredible achievements and near defeats that made him the Ceasar the world will never forget. This guy was absolutely genius and nuts. The loyalty he commanded was crazy...
Already finished 2 campaigns in Rome Remastered... :-) 4:21 - obviously we meant Ilerda, not Munda. Munda is coming. It is difficult to be a veteran of Munda before it happened. Stolen glory+time travel.
Damn, this man, Caesar, indeed a true leader full of charisma that even a soldier begged to basically "please, I want to die for your cause!" "hmmm, meh, you are not..."PLEASE MY LORD" "Okay then"
Yep. That's what makes him so brilliant. He could change any situation to his advantage. He was in his element when outnumbered, outsupplied and in foreign territory. He'd go from that to absolutely dominating the eveny and downright dictating their moves, little by little. Haters, of course, say he was just "lucky" lmao. They can't comprehend the idea of someone being much smarter than them
@@RexGalilae yeah but he was lucky too. Yes it's true that he put himself in those positions but stuff like his first invasion of Britain was just really dumb and he was lucky to leave with his life.
@@RexGalilae , Alexander had himself in even worse situations than Caesar. If it wasn't for his huge luck, he would have been dead much earlier because of some of his stupid decisions. So i say Alexander was luckier than Caesar.
@@Braila2000 I feel like luck can be attributed to generals in the modern times who had technology like air power artillery tanks etc, but ancient generals like Alexander, Caeser and Hannibal had to win through pure discipline, leadership and tactics and just the soldiers on the ground.
Whenever Caesar crosses an ocean, whether Greece, Egypt, or Africa he always manages to arrive with at least half his force missing and find himself outnumbered and in a dangerous situation. Yet he still always manages to come out on top somehow!
Titus Labienus was undoubtedly Caesar's most talented subordinate, having led campaigns in Gaul on his own with great success without Caesar's input or direction. However his defection to the Pompeian cause may have been the catalyst for why Caesar would keep his lieutenants such as Marc Antony on a tight leash and not entrust him with too much power. In a different world where Labienus had remained loyal to Caesar, it might have been he and not Octavian or Antony who would have inherited Caesar's mantle after his assassination.
That 10th legionnaire who hurled the javelin to shut Labienus up is easily one of the most badass things a soldier ever did. Caesar's veterans were on a different level entirely. Wait till they fight for the opportunity to take the elephants head on in his next battle. Nothing could scare them except Caesar
Caesar...what a man...I have so much respect for Caesar and his courage, his intelligence, his humor, his charisma and his creative and smart way of thinking.❤️ He is one of my greatest inspirations. I love Rome and I love Julius Caesar. And I feel so happy and blessed to be able to see these videos from Kings and Generals. You really make it come alive again!🙏
Ah Caesar Charismatic, Shrewd, and lucky. All of those helped make you what you became. Defeating you in battle was always difficult. Pompey did it only once. But that was partly due to luck. And hear you got lucky. No matter what you will always be a really fascinating character to study. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Combination of brilliant mind, genius at tactics and strategy, brilliant knack for improvisation and making the best out of opportunities, experienced and disciplined troops with deep loyalty to him and sometimes plenty of luck.
Outstanding historical and military documentary. Thank you so much for illuminating us with important battle details, which are often ignored or omitted from the main stream of Roman History. Thanks to you, I have learned today new pivotal integers in connection with significant aspects of this glorious epoch. BRAVO!
This, along with Thapsus, are my two favourite battles by Caesar. They send shivers down my spine every time I revisit them. And don't even get me started on that veteran from the 10th. Such a badass! Must have been priceless to see Labienus' face when his horse was killed by that javelin. Legio X Equestris deserves a video of its own! Thanks for this excellent video. Can't wait for Munda!
I could only imagine the amazing feats that Caesar would have accomplished if he were not assassinated by those snakes. Such an amazing person in the time in which he lived and conquered.
@@gmeme9252 The Roman Republic was dead for over 50 years at that moment. Marcus Licinius Crassus {Caesar's fellow triumvir} had personal income equal to that of the whole Roman Republic! What kind of "republic" is that? It is not always a good idea to try to apply today's political concepts to a period 2000 years ago...
Maybe he would've mellowed out and concentrated on fixing internal problems instead of expansion. I think he would've been great for the people had he been allowed to live.
When Sulla and Triumvirates started to pop up, it was obvious that Republic now existed only on paper, but Romans had ingrained hatred of kings and would never accept monarchy. It was important to pay the lip service, because hypocrisy was just fine for them. Roman emperors as we know them, were until Diocletian still officially called Princeps Civitatis. Emperor (imperator) actually started as military rank. Charade thus continued for nearly 300 years.

Interesting that Caesar didnt set up his forces in a square or a circle when being surrounded. That's usually the best tactic to deploy circumstances such as this. surprised that his troops weren't simply rolled up in that formation.
A square formation would've led to his whole army being very swiftly encircled, whittled down and eventually slaughtered, with nowhere to run. Crassus tried the square formation with 43k Roman legionnaires against a force of 10k Parthian cavalry, and he got encircled and beaten so spectacularly his corpse was paraded around the Parthian empire for months to come.
@@justiniani.4501 lets not pretend squares never work though, crassus was straight up in a bad position with a strange army makeup who bought an absurd amount of projectiles, could have survived had they ran out
Caesar is a legend, fighting in every corner of the ancient world and comming out as winner. When he founds himself in precaroius conditions he could still turn the tide. His method of convincing the mutinied legions is a testament of his Genuisity
10th Legion: Yes, we are the best, we are the greatest. Caesar can do nothing without us, we can pretty much ask him whatever we want. The 10th Legion after a single conversation with Caesar: Oh God please don't leave us behind, please, we'll literally kill 10% of ourselves personally, please let us come with you daddy! Gaius Julius Caesar. What an absolute unit.
Underrated Roman VIPS: 1. Unknown Roman tribune who turned his cohort around and rear charged the Macedonian phalanx at the Battle of Cynoscephale. 2. Unknown Roman soldier who threw his pilum at Labienus. 3. Titus Pollo and Lucius Vorenus.

Caesar is a legend, fighting in every corner of the ancient world and comming out as winner. When he founds himself in precaroius conditions he could still turn the tide. His method of convincing the mutinied legions is a testament of his Genuisity
My Sunday just got a whole lot better, thanks K & G
Fantastic videos on Caesar! Thank you for your time in making these videos. I look forward to more videos on Caesar ❤️
i feel like i'm in an interactive strategy game, this is a fun way to learn new things, thank you.
10th Legion: Yes, we are the best, we are the greatest. Caesar can do nothing without us, we can pretty much ask him whatever we want.
The 10th Legion after a single conversation with Caesar: Oh God please don't leave us behind, please, we'll literally kill 10% of ourselves personally, please let us come with you daddy!
Gaius Julius Caesar. What an absolute unit.
I've been following this series what an amazing story, so well presented by this channel! can't wait for the next episode!
Caesar is like a anime protagonist who loses the first round, makes it out, learns a new ability or learns from his mistake and defeats the arc boss.
Underrated Roman VIPS:
1. Unknown Roman tribune who turned his cohort around and rear charged the Macedonian phalanx at the Battle of Cynoscephale.
2. Unknown Roman soldier who threw his pilum at Labienus.
3. Titus Pollo and Lucius Vorenus.
Caesarson's dad?
I love starting my morning with these videos.
Another great one, looking forward to the next one. Thanks Ks & Gs
Incredible how he kept control of his man, didn't make a desparate decision and stayed calm in the battle.
"But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!!" ~ Julius Caesar
This is a rare find for me and the gift that keeps giving. I'm preparing a nonfiction project dealing with the Roman & Greek Empires bringing it up to present day, chronicling power mad white males throughout history, that includes almost everyone and anyone involved in human suffering. Left, Right, or in the middle.
I'm from Tunisia, unfortunately, we don't learn about this history or anything linked to Romans in our schools.
I learned a part of my country's history today thank you, kings and generals!!
@@ontheline3077 yes we are taught briefly about carthage it's sad
@@luqmanosman4508 yess they make us understand that our history starts with his arrival
Pompeians: Surrender! We have you surrounded!
Caesar: No, you don't.
Hey Kings and Generals I still love your channel. Thanks!
Julius Caesar always fascinated me. The man was a total badass, a military genius, and has a better judgment of considering his heir.
Nice, this battle is rarely covered
Your doctor can give you a special cream when your legions are agitated...
