After that speech I stopped watching the show and started marching on Rome.
It takes a pretty charismatic and powerful person to turn a republic into a dictatorship.
True that, ask Hitler.
@@myrealnamewontfi7289 The only thing that Hitler and Julius Caesar have in common is that they both tried to systematically engage genocide.
Of All My Intention that was life back then .
Of All My Intention still is in the grand scheme of things .
"Damn! There goes my weekend." - Titus Pullo, reluctant hero.
Rome was a good series ngl
Ironically, he wasn't, he was being chased by crooks he owed money, therefore inadvertently setting off the civil war.
He has 500 denaris! (whatever that is). What a weekend! Hookers, E, heroin, cocaine... oh wait. Just hookers I guess. And booze.
You've just got a bonus and the run of Rome. Stop complaining.
I herd Titus pullo gamble a losed all the 500 dinaries 😂
For a little historical context - the tribunes of the plebs were considered sacrosanct. Anyone who harmed them (or even impeded their way) commits a capital offense. That's why Caesar wanted the army to see Mark Antony bloodied up. It shows that Pompey's minions had already committed an unforgiveable offense and Caesar's actions were meant to restore the Republic.
Just to explain that a little more for people. When a person or place was declared "Sacrosanct" in Roman culture, it made the place or person sacred to a God. To harm or disrespect them then was the same as doing that TO THAT GOD. A person who did that placed themself outside the protection of the laws civil and sacred. Not only could they be killed without their killer being penalised, in fact every proper person was EXPECTED to kill them if they could, it was a religious duty.
So not only was Caesar ALLOWED to go bring the mob to justice, he was REQUIRED to do so.
Just wasn't allowed to keep his army when he went to do it.
Sacrosanct! Its been .. oceans of time since I heard that word.
What is sacrosanct in 2022?
But wasn't Caesar in Gaul at this point? Did Mark Antony ride all the way from Rome in a single day, still bloodied when he arrived at Caesar's camp?
@@kirishima638 he was in Ravenna in Cisalpine Gaul (under Alpine Gaul) which was first Gallic territory taken by Rome long before Narbonensis and Gallia (Provence and France)
Why do you think we need your rather mundane insight?
"Can you imagine a more terrible sacrilege?!" *Crosses the Rubicon*
It's like, just a creek, but it's so important cause it's a border.
Well, considering that they assaulted a tribune and intended murder him, it justifies somehow Caesar's move to punish them with his army.
@@marcoswang5034 what you think Caesar could have voted them out of power?
That's in no way whatsoever as great a sacrilege as laying hands on a Tribune of the Plebs. His person was literally sacrosanct. The Rubicon had been crossed before, in Caesars lifetime no less, by Sulla.
@@Xerrand I'm pretty sure that crossing Rubicon is far more severe than assaulting tribune of the plebs. Tribune been assaulted before and no punishment happened, but crossing Rubicon means declaration of war on Rome.
My personal opinion is that Caesar ended up killing the empire by changing power structure from senate to a single man (you might as well call it a king). Caesar was a competent ruler, Augustus also seem to be somewhat competent, but the problem with having power under one man is that incompetent or straight up horrible Rulers (Such as Nero and Caligula) may cause so much harm that it out scale the good that was done by competent rulers before and after. I suppose if it wasn't Caesar, it would be someone else later on who will become Imperator or something similar, and senate will likely end up fall.

I love how the writers had Caesar over exaggerate Pompey’s numbers as it’s something he’s rather infamous for.
811chelseafc really shows they cared about the authenticity I’ve no doubt thats why they where also able to take so many artistic liberties with certain characters without anyone protesting it. A really good show!
All ancient writers, especially Roman, exaggerate the numbers of their enemies for propaganda reasons.
Also "thousand" was just shorthand for "a shitton" back then
@@Alpha-ji2im
Although... the battles of antiquity were so large that even the largest battles of WW2, or even the American civil war do not come close to being comprable by the sheer number of combatants.
@@JohnDoe-zu2cmWell, depends on what you tried to indicate, but elaboration is needed. Stalingrad, has a example, had +2M combants, overshadowing any roman battle in numbers by far.
If the real Julius Caesar spoke this way, it would be no surprise that his men were so loyal. His speech is cleverly crafted, and he did so without preparation. He improvised based on what he learned mere seconds ago (about Pullo), and covered three general types of men he might have in his army. He started off with a very general call to his own defense, knowing his men who were already fanatically loyal to him simply needed to be told that the senators back home were trash. He then posited that as they supported him, they too would be considered criminals. They would not be able to return home unless they desert...or follow him over the Rubicon, keeping in line those who were a bit more idealistic. He then called out Pullo, commended him, but most importantly awarded him compensation. He is saying, follow me and I will reward you handsomely, in coin if you care for nothing else. A straightforward speech that ensured every man in his legion would follow him into treason, in 2mins.
Only one of his legions crossed the rubicon with him. The others abandoned him.
@@mazhar3447 LOL go study history
Ars rhetorica
@@mazhar3447 They did not abandon him. They were all scattered about doing other tasks and couldn't be colsolidated togethere in time and so he took what he had because no one would believe he would go into Italy with just one legion. And sure the people seeing it happen know it's one legion. But like the telephone game, by the time it gets to Rome it is 3 legions, or 5 or whatever the number is.
@@mazhar3447 How can you be so proud of your ignorance?
Julius Caesar: "I'm going to light the biggest fire that Rome has ever seen!"
Nero: "Hold my beer"
In real history, Caesar had a twin brother who was the leader of barbarians. He was killed by an arrow while he was burning.

@@arvyocheda749 Funnily enough in the books he's replaced by a double
''Or I can go home with my sword in my hand and run those maniacs to the Tarpeian Rock! '' I love this part of it
Would've been great if this show had shown us Caesar's appeal to the mutineering legions in 47 BC. Apparently they were so moved and shamed by Caesar's final farewell to them as "citizens" rather than the usual "comrades", they immediately denounced their own actions and pledged continuing loyalty to him for the final final campaign in North Africa.
Not only that, but they begged to atone by volunteering for decimation. They would have rather been executed at random than be put out to pasture. Whatever his actions later as dictator, Caesar certainly inspired and earned the loyalty of those marching with him.
I was stunned when I learned about that. The legions including the tenth legion, Caesar's personal favorite, attempted to bluff so Caesar raises their pay, but instead Caesar did allow them to be disbanded, and even gave them all the rewards and pay he promised for them. Usually a mutiny of legions that experienced is a nightmare, but Caesar solved it without using any extra money or bloodshed.
@R T Kraken That is true, because _the legions themselves actually begged Caesar for him to decimate them for the munity_ . They're willing to get killed by each other then to be left behind.
1:48 Titus first reaction "Damn,..am I in trouble...again?"
The little things in this series were just so amazingly good. For example the quick wink Antony gave the young boy when they crossed the river. Some may see this as him being arrogant as they crossed the Rubicon but I merely saw this as a human move by Antony that he saw a young Roman child and, like any other adult would, gave him either a wink, or nod, or so on. That is how adults act when encountering kids usually and the writers reinforced these things in this series over and over in regards to even though this was the Classical Era and even though all these men had likely killed numerous enemies, they STILL were men, still were adults, still cared about their people much like we do today.
That child? Tiberius
I didnt see it as him being arrogant, its just his way of acknowledging the child and signalling to him that he wasnt his enemy.
I wouldn’t go that far as to say they were still human,they slaughtered,& pillaged Gaul,& other areas,started an illegal war or two,betrayed one another,yet smiled & acted as friends to each other. These guys were real pieces of 💩 to be honest,jus like they are today,also the people caring about people today is bs,if that was the case,there wouldn’t be war in Ukraine,Will wouldn’t have slapped Chris,& Pompey wouldn’t have betrayed his brother
@@donnymoney4222 Tiberius was born two years after Caesar was assassinated.
So, NOPE.
@@uncletiggermclaren7592 damn I was making a joke but you're right lol 😆
for the unaware: the tarpeian rock is part of the capitoline hill (main hill, where we get the word capitol from) and only the most egregious crimes like murder, traitors, and the like were thrown off it
Amazing! I just assumed it was an area on the Italian coast and he was going for a sort of "throw them into the sea" thing. But that adds way more to the scene
Also an FYI, the word for "cliff" in latin is the same as the word for "rock". Which is why that cliff is called "the Tarpeian Rock"
@@Matt-kq3ks No it's literally just a very big rock in Rome. A fall from it would be lethal even today, though the drop isn't quite as far as it used to be. Supposedly it was named after a woman who was crushed to death by a pile of shields.
The Gemonian Stairs was a another famous spot for executions in Rome, near the tarpeian rock. The stairs were also just a steep flight of steps that people would be tossed down. Several senators and an emperor were killed on the The Gemonian Stairs. But romans were tossing people off the tarpeian rock for half a millennia before the stairs were built.
@@antarcticaresearchprogram8349 Thanks to you, I'm learning something new tonight. In French, we have an expression: "vouer aux gémonies", which means to expose someone to public humiliation, to wish the worst to someone, etc. I thought these "gémonies" were infernal divinities, like the Furies. Now I know that they were real stairs (escalier des Gémonies) and why we use that expression. And it makes even more sense. Dreadful way to die...
@@Xerxes2005 You've probably been saying that in one form or another since Rome was occupying Gaul.
"CAESAR! IS IN ITALY!"
"Oh pipe down, Cassius! You yelled that last week and Caesar didn't show up!"
@@MountainRaven1960 The peninsula was already called italia geographically
@@MountainRaven1960 Italy is a geographic expression. Not only a State name. And back in 1861 until 1946, it was called Reign of Italy if you want to be precise.
Dante Alighieri put it in the Commedy in the Purgatory.There's a famous verse that starts as" Ahi, Serva Italia....", where he heavily criticize it. And it was 1200/1300 AD. In more recent time, before the reunification our own national anthem written by Goffredo Mameli in 1849,it is titled "Fratelli d'Italia" (Brothers of Italy). So well before 1861 AD.
@@MountainRaven1960 The name Italia precedes the Romans and there are coins that precede the birth of Christ on which the name Italia was already impressed. Itali, Italiots, Italics, Italians, the concept of Italy is over 2000 years old.
@@MountainRaven1960 When we don't know anything, we don't talk okay ? yYou never learn history at school ? It's time for you to return...
@@matteocuratolo4643 lighten up sweetheart.
This show would have been a great treasure for centuries had it been 4-5 seasons long and included the battles. It would have been something like Gibbon’s book.
It’s a shame they didn’t have money to continue.
Yep, time to boot up Rome Total War
*CK2 it has all the family intrigue and shit that Rome has but on crack
I wanna suit up as a Roman soldier and run around a college campus yelling “Caesar is in Italy!”
RIP Ray Stevenson (aka Titus Pullo)
Did Mark Antony wink at that kid? Haha
@@myrealnamewontfi7289 source?
3:19 unless I’m mistaken.. yep, he did.
Can you imagine being that kid...and witnessing an entire Roman legion passing you by?
According to the actual historical account Caesar is said to have stopped at the bank of the Rubicon to have dinner, and then to the surprise of his close circle spent almost the the whole night silently staring at the other side of the small stream. In the morning his legion ate breakfast and assembled to continue. Caesar again was silent; then suddenly plunged into the Rubicon and told his advisors "Now the die is cast. All must now be taken by the sword." From then on he marched his army at breakneck pace toward Rome with most towns on the way opening their doors to him and supplying his men. All the Pompeians were shocked as Caesar did this at a weird time in their eyes, winter (the Roman calendar was so broken by this point they thought they had several months to prepare). The calendar said January (I think) but Caesar knew it was more like October and he had enough time to invade before it wasn't feasible.
How was the calendar broken?
@@catalinmateas9956 It was based on the lunar cycle and drifted from year to year and it was the job of the Pontifex Maximus (Rome's chief priest, at this time Caesar) to fix it. Caesar had been campaigning in Gaul for 10 years so it hadn't been fixed to more reflect the actual seasons for a long time Caesar would later remake the calendar as Dictator which is almost the exact one we use today, the Julian Calendar...
@@BrettCagwin49ers Almost...now is the gregorian one who accounted for the thing that Caesar missed..but he was pretty close.
Of course Caesar knew it's October...he's Pontifex Maximus and one of the duties of the Pontifex Maximus was to regulate the calendar.
I like how this show escalated way to quickly like how it went from Titus stabbing people after losing a dice game to overthrowing a republic
Historic accuracy on TV? They actually showed the Rubicon as the mere stream it was rather than the river it's made out to be! I'm shocked!!
I'd have loved seven seasons of this show!⚔
unfortunately they moved their investment into Game of throne
Man I hope sooo badly that HBO adapt another exciting period of Roman history, like the year of four emperors, the reigns of Domitian, Tiberius and Vespasian, Constantine's converting Rome to a Christian realm, the Empire's incursions into England led by Hadrian, chieftan Odoacer sacking Rome for the last time and deposing the last emperor of the West, or the Great Fire of Rome and Nero's speculated involvement.
It must have been **amazing** being in Caesar's XIIIth Legion, crossing the Rubicon and marching towards Rome! If it were possible to time-travel, I'd **love** to march with that Legion on that day!
Why is Legion such a cool sounding word?
That would be an amazing experience.
You should save the Republic and take a bazooka with you in your time machine.
carrying 20KG+ equipment and march 50KM a day... nah!
Screw the Republic it was mostly filled with corrupted and cowardly senators
Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo really were the C3PO and R2D2 of this series.
in a certain sense, Caesar crossed a rubicon when he did this.
Yeah... in a... "certain"... sense.
I like how they showed the Rubicon to be the undramatic rivulet that it was/is. Not some huge river for the sake of grandeur of the scene
Just imagine mad guys running around the place shouting fake news about how Caesar isn't in Italy and vice versa.
Thank the gods we're living in a more modern age, where *anyone* can be that guy.
We who are about to die… salute this comment!
Would have loved living Then....only Then i Wouldnt be aware of the difference
Never force a man into a corner, because then he'll do what you least want him to do.
Our Republic is in the hands of madmen.
2022:. Tell me about it
Girls in PE class: Ew, I hate having to pick teams. I don’t want to choose between my friends.
Boys in PE Class:
Eh?
@@davidhoward437 Physical Education. Dodgeball, Basketball, Soccer. We used to have an hour or two devoted to physical activity and sports in grade school here in the United States. Obligatory: "I understood the reference.", as the boys quickly know what team they want to be on, and I and most of the girls I knew didn't really judge people as desirable or undesirable team-mates.
Oh, it was all ruthless. Girls were as competitive as boys.
Such a shame they stopped making this series.
For all the shitty things about living back then, marching on Rome as a single legion under Caesar has to be one of the single best experiences one could have in all human history
Time to cross the Rubicon.
I'm gonna run for mayor in my country next year and my finishing words for my campaign will always be: "TItus Pullo is with me... and you, are you with me!?" - sure win!
I like how they got it right when the horse that Caesar mounts does not have stirrups, which were not known at the time in Europe. However, later in the clip (th-cam.com/video/T0kr6woXWDM/w-d-xo.html), it looks like for the safety or the comfort of the actors, they use very light saddles hidden under the horse blanket, with minimalist stirrups.
0:39 NO! 😢
3:12 So I'm guessing that Caesar is crossing the Rubicon here?
Yes
I imagined it would've been deeper lol
@@glowiever nah its only significance is that it's the border of Italy
@@mostafamagdy7117 yes
*"CÆSAR IS IN ITALYYYYYYY!!!!!!"*
lol nice
i love how everyone down here glosses over the fact he doesnt say "let the die be cast" at all
who cares you fucking nerd
Sometimes things are better left unsaid. The point is that this shows Caesar crossing the Rubicon.
@@atuema1602 so the most iconic quote in all of history... is better left unsaid?
@@elijackson6467 yeah, i think for the same reason they didn't have him say say "Et tu, brute?" at his assassination or show Marc Anthony's speech at Caesar's funeral, at some point these famous quotes are just too well known, they become a cliche, it kind of breaks immersion and makes you realise you're watching a fictional story after all
@@l.k.9982 Exactly. To depict the scene well you must be mindful of two things. First cliche, and second, ancient historians have a habit of embellishing historical events, so you don't want to fall into the trap of believing every 'epic' thing they relate.
Great posting!.
I probably would've died for Caesar back in the day.
To be fair if you lived in the time and place of Ceaser you would probably be dead already.
This is the late Republic, conditions in Rome were awfull.
@@Infernal460 the chances were that you would survive it’s not like every 3rd man was dying
“CAESAR IS IN ITALY,CAESAR IS IN ITALY”!!!!!! Classic bitchin at its finest!!!!! I really don’t believe Caesar was as ambitious as Brutus claims,but Brutus is an honorable man…..🤣🤣🤣🤣
the sound people put Curlews by a north Italian stream so I put my foot through my laptop screen and sent Caesar the bill
What a great scene.
this series was awesome
The Rubicon that Caesar crossed was the border between Italy proper and Cisalpine Gaul. No military contingent could cross it under arms without the authorization of the Roman Senate. It seems that at the time of the Gracchi (2nd century BC), the border was represented by the Esino river in the Marche region.
This civil war happened all because that guy cheated in a games of dice against Pullo.
Little known fact
Yes hahahaha
I liked they added that to the show. Even though it's fictional made me wonder how much of world history is defined by minor events like this
I love the scene that they cross the Rubicon (point of no return) , they say nothing , while we all know the story !
I find this one funny 😂. How bad it turn out from a mere gamble. Good job Pullo.
Best serie ever made!
2070 years later, everyone will still follow Caesar to cross the Rubicon
Did not knew that Caesar spoke perfect English, should be in history books this important fact
...and run those maniacs to the Tarpeian Rock!
How Pullo brought down a Republic.
OMG the Ancient Romans spoke English!
01:34
The Tarpian Rock, Julius Caesar's cover band
YEAHHHHHHH!
Historical moment!
the cesareans are coming!
Yes Caesar ofcourse I'm with you, now and forever.💕
Maybe they killed him.
But Gaius Julius Caesar shall never die💓🔥
Ave Caesar!
I imagined the Rubicon to be larger.😂
It's actually even smaller and more pathetic than that in real life though it mightve been bigger 2000 years ago.
My uncle lives near the Rubicone (town of Savignano). In some parts it is larger, but the part crossed by caesar is a very narrow.
If you're trying to cross a river you don't go to the widest part.
The supposed panic over *Caesar in Italy* is because of the memories of Sulla's march onto Rome and the bloodbath that followed.
Damn...I am already in formation to march with him...
After seeing this scene i never stop thinking about this when i see a Jeep Rubicon on the streets lmao
Came here looking for a meme after Wagner crossed into Russia.

I imagine it must have been tiring for that poor bastard to go through every block in Rome shouting that Caesar was in Italy.
Oh my god I am in italy.
CEEEEZAAAA IZ IN ITALIIIIIIIIII
This Summer a lot of us were in Italy 🇮🇹 including me. SPQR
I need that man 2.
Of course the same man united the Free Folk
We are legend than.
It's funny how the horsemen in Caesar's army have stirrups, these were not introduced into Europe until the Migration Era.
Hmmm ceasar is a real politician in blood.
A great scene I always like watching it even though the series was shot through with historical mistakes. Caesar never said 'Alea Iacta Est'. That was written by Suetonius decades later and actually mangles a Greek saying by Meander. Caesar also crossed the river at night in a carriage, having sent elements of his legion ahead. Mark Antony may or may not have been with him since Caesar writes he met 3 tribunes in Ariminum. And recent studies show it mostly likely his crossing was in November not in January. But who cares about historical truth when the fictionalized event is much more dramatic.
well yeah, military realities really aren't as cool as the real deal. No doubt the real "crossing of the rubicon" was by scouts followed by a vanguard. Which honestly in of itself must have been a hell of an experience. Would honestly have loved a scene of a couple lowly soldiers crossing in the dead of night being like "holy shit, we're doin this."
I like the legionnaire whos like " No... ☹️"
Feels like Now
3:29 that one guy is Ancient Rome's version of Twitter
Guys, I think Caesar is in Italy
Titus acted like he was scared sh**less.
I mean. In context of the Caesar’s return to Rome, the civil war between him and Pompey makes so much sense. Years before when making the triumvirate, Caesar married his daughter and only legitimate child, to Pompey. That daughter died giving birth to Pompey’s child. She died why Caesar was conquering Gaul, so his return started with her funeral.
idk, I know the politics are what most people care about with this show, and politics are the only real reason Caesar gives for the Civil War. But part of me feels that his daughter’s death must’ve played a significant part in it.
Not saying he did all that to “avenge” her or anything, but because she died, he and Pompey no longer had any familial connection to one another, so he could more seriously begin full fledged warfare against him.
What about Pompeii being the father of caesar's grandson?
Great scene, only thing that I would have liked added is Caesar brooding at the edge of the Rubicon and quoting his famous "Let the die be cast" quote before resuming his march
Imagine he say no
Eita all time Lagba.
1:39 YEAAAGH
He never said Aleia Iacta Est
He allegedly said it in Greek. But the phrase would have meant the same either way. We was conveying that the die was cast. Things are set in motion. Latin is more poetic than greek to westerners sow e tend to cling to that.
@@richardpowell4281 I mean he never said it in this scene
montecarlostar aye I was really hoping he would have! One of my favourite Caesar quotes

You have an awesome teacher
