Cato: _Pompey only marches on Rome over my dead body_ *Pompey actually seizes de facto rule of Rome for years and then is driven away to Greece* Cato: _Guess I'll just stick with him_
Marc Nassif Cato really wasn't happy to support Pompey. But when it came down to it, he'd rather support Pompey who is more likely to maintain the status quo, than to support Ceasar who he distrusts and has unclear goals.
@@Hrogoff Caesar's motives weren't unclear, he was a reformer and absolutely hated by the Senate who wanted the status quo. So it's no surprise Cato took the side of Pompey who was the Senate's favorite and a staunch supporter of the current rules.
Cato and Pompey never really trusted each-other, they just had a common enemy. This is why after Pompey was defeated they separated and Cato went to North Africa without him.
Cato was the biggest failure in the world. Bibilus looks like a beacon of accomplishment in comparison. Fuck Cato. He died in too dignified and not painful enough of a way if you ask me.
Keep these coming Historia Civilis! Once my little cousin saw me rewatching His Year for Julius Caesar, and asked if it was for school. I said, "Nah, this is pure pleasure little cuz"
Cato was spot on on the Caesar score too, he was definitely pulling strings considering what happened later haha. Pure intriguing period of Roman history. Nice video man!
Your videos show the other side of who Julius Caesar was. He wasn't just a man of the people, but a man of ambition to have great power for his own goals.
I really enjoyed Dan Carlin's Death Throes of the Republic, which goes back all the way from the Gracchi brothers, through Marius/Sullah, till Caesar's assassination. This channel has been so great, as it really dives into the parts that Death Throes couldn't fit within its format, yet preserves the drama of this story. It's unbelievable that this stuff really happened, truth really is stranger than fiction...
GOT Westeros haven't got shit on Rome. No nation was as violent, insane, illogical, pragmatic, brilliant, brave or badass as Rome. It was a mass of epic contradictions!
@Sixshooter 9 A confusing and rather ignorant statement, in my opinion. Just because you're emotionally attached to your own country and its pride, doesn't make it superior. What geography is best is not for you to decide. There's plenty of beautiful countries I'd like to visit, and America makes 10th place. Not to say it isn't beautiful, I'm just pointing it out. And furthermore, a country doesn't become a superpower due to geography. In what sense? Productivity and wealth? If that's the case, there's plenty of countries that beat the USA by a major landslide, only they are tinier countries without the same population. And if population figures don't really count, would a 20 billion population nation capable of producing a net worth of $2M a year be vastly superior or a superpower compared to a 1,000 population capable of producing a net worth of $1,9M? I get your point. Rome is awesome. It is. But let's not poison the conversation with meaningless and sentimental nationalism.
@Sixshooter 9 What?? You think having some of the most fertile land in Europe on top of an extremely difficult to cross mountain range covering the entire north end of the peninsula, which as a peninsula is surrounded by water isn't a *HUGE* geographical advantage in the days of the Roman Republic?? You're nuts!
@Sixshooter 9 you sound so stupid, first off being in the Mediterranean on a large peninsula I'm sure had 0%, absolutely nothing at all(not even a little bit), to do with romes success. And secondly America is a superpower because of their technological innovations in both private sectors like the military/tech/economy not the geography alone. And if you truly believe they dont have anything in common then you need to study BADLY lmao
there's evidence to suggest (in coin dies) that the city was going through an economic depression around this time and creditors were probably calling in their debts. catos legislation on the dole may have been a reaction to this problem as much as a purely political act
I LOVE your videos. You have a wonderful understanding of Roman history, and you explain in a way that I can understand and put into my knowledge in a clear, concise way. PLEASE do a His Year on SULLA! No one seems to be talking about Sulla, and the guy was one of the most dramatic figures in all of Roman history!
If you want, Extra Credits has a small episode or two (in their Extra History Series about the Second Punic War) having a simplified explanation of the first punic war and the events leading up to the war.
The channel 'Reply History' doesn''t have anything specifically on the Punic wars, but there is one on the battle of Philippi. If you like HC's style of video then you could enjoy RH too.
I would love it so much if you did a video(s) on Scipio Africanus & The Second Punic War. I thoroughly enjoy all of your videos, they have enriched my understanding of these events immensely and that’s why, selfishly, i hope you continue with Roman History. I think it would be great to see how you would go about presenting the vast panorama of events and people that make up the story of the Second Punic War.
It's almost surreal how enthralling and informative this channel is-- I prefer these simple (yet well narrated) videos over any sensational BS the History Channel has to offer.
We need a good "Rome" like tv show that covers Roman politics from early Julius Caesar to either the ascention of Augustus or the end of the Julio-Claudian Dynasty.
I don't know if it fits your description, but there was an HBO series that ran for 2 seasons called "Rome" that followed (sort of) the tale of Julius and Augustus Caesar (be it not 100% historically accurate, nor filled to the brim with politics like it probably was back then). There are some parts that show all famous people that this channel mentioned to date- Caesar, Cicero and Cato, although the major focus is on Caesar, with Cicero being a big supporting character and Cato to an even lesser extent. I recommend it very much, even without considering it being about Rome it is a very good show.
I have seen it, but on my opinion the focus was completely off, focussing of Vorenus en Pullo for no particular reason. I normally just skip all their scenes. In my opinion that series isnt good.
Yeah I thought that what you meant, wasn't sure though. I disagree with saying that the focus was off, as I think that it was a very clever way to put some more narrative-driven characters in it without compromising its historical accuracy (as much as possible obviously), but I can completely see your point. I do think that it was a missed opportunity to do a new, "modern" TV show about how Roman life was, with all of its wonder and weird-to-contemporary-people glory and beauty. Another TV show that's supposed to be really good (I'm saying supposed because I haven't watched it myself) is "I Claudius", which follows Emperor Claudius and the intricate and shady business around him and the manipulations trying to be the strongest person in the Roman empire. Heard almost only good things about it.
I have seen I Claudius, it is magnificent. It focuses on the right characters and is based on the intrigue of the time. I would recommend watching it. A good modern series should focus on a combination of intrigue, politics (including policy), and battles. Though battles might be too expensive.
If such a show will air and will be good all-round, I'd would be following it religiously. Sadly enough it seems people aren't really interested in accurate historic dramas (even though Vikings, even be it not historically accurate, having a large fan-base).
Do more videos on Caesar. I want to know about his post-consulship career and the events leading to his assassination. I know this information is out there, but I love learning from you.
Yoooo y'all should really consider using the audio as podcasts. I always listen to them that way through TH-cam Red and let me just say I cannot get enough, f****** love yalls content.
Could you do a video on Sulla? or have you already and I am missing something? He is precursor of the eventual Empire and the only I can think of from history who simply retired after his reign of terror, or so is my understanding. I would be fascinated to see an in-depth analysis of this period.
It made perfect sense now that I’ve watched your video. Cato by being in office would have denied it to a less desirable candidate, sort of like a saboteur of sorts amongst the tribunes.
Have you done a video on Sulla yet? Can't find it. By the way, your videos are by far the best historical videos on TH-cam and the often complex and confusing intricacies of Roman politics are presented and summed up by you extremely well. Thank you.
PS - do the Eleusinian Mysteries! Or, maybe Justinian I's closing of the mysteries, temples, Plato's Academy, and the like. Very rich and rare subject request. Oh! oh! OR, the burnings of the library at Alexandria. =)
i dont usually sub to anyone's accounts. you might be the first, actually. keep up the great work. your videos, on a time period that fascinates me, are incredibly insightful!
just a suggestion, video on the Marian epoch, stretching from the Cimbrian war all the way to Sulla, I think it's a great topic! Also your videos are amazing!
yet another nice video.. would you mind makeing a playlist in cronologic order.. since im a little confused in what happen when and what led to what.. keep up the good work
Zooming in on a purple square has never been so dramatic
Metellus reciting the bill from memory may be one of my favorite things ever.
It was pretty… Metell 😎
@@DeadCanuckstole my joke!
you really should make a sulla video
Yeah, every time he mentions Sulla I think about this.
i guess... he wont
he did.. on his second channel, Sam Harris
Sulla and Marius. Two guys who made Caesar possible.
@@OneOnOne1162 I want to see Sulla vs Marius

I think people sometimes forget that yes, the Byzantine Empire was the Roman Empire still, they considered themselves the Roman empire lol.
As long as tribune Aquila allows him to go through it all
Cato: _Pompey only marches on Rome over my dead body_
*Pompey actually seizes de facto rule of Rome for years and then is driven away to Greece*

Fuck Cato. He died in too dignified and not painful enough of a way if you ask me.
This is the best history channel on TH-cam hands down. we should call you Father.
*Pater
If you wanted to call him "God's son", it would be "Dei Filius".
Emperor Augustus called himself "Divi Filius" ("son of the divine [Iulius]")
Make him Caesar!
+Jason Martin Caesar! Caesar! Caesar!
Hail Civilis!
My favorite part is when you zoom in on the square dramatically like it's a person.
Keep these coming Historia Civilis! Once my little cousin saw me rewatching His Year for Julius Caesar, and asked if it was for school. I said, "Nah, this is pure pleasure little cuz"
Cato's performance at 5:39 is amazing. So intense.
0:35 others were hanging around in a converted cistern
Best History channel on youtube!
Time to drop everything im working on right now for 6 mins
same here
I think you mean 10 seconds, clearly says that at the start XD
Yup, once again.
haha. i literally just did that.
Hear hear!
Cato was spot on on the Caesar score too, he was definitely pulling strings considering what happened later haha. Pure intriguing period of Roman history.
Nice video man!

WHAT? ANOTHER VIDEO SO SOON?! ALL OF ROME SHALL BE AMAZED AT THI# VICTORY, THIS DAY IS TRULLYYYYY OURRRSSS!
It is unwise to praise the day before sunset. But our men are winning the battle!

America definitely fits that mold
Plenty of nations have been and are like that. We're all human
@Sixshooter 9 A confusing and rather ignorant statement, in my opinion. Just because you're emotionally attached to your own country and its pride, doesn't make it superior. What geography is best is not for you to decide. There's plenty of beautiful countries I'd like to visit, and America makes 10th place. Not to say it isn't beautiful, I'm just pointing it out.

Thank you man for being more active. I came here initially for the battles but now love all of your content! Keep it up.
Man I really can’t help but wonder how involved caesar was in the catiline conspiracy
He definitely would have known about it at minimum
He was probably involved from very little to actually a lot
Love the channel. Please continue to put up these great snippets of history on YT.
I've just read the SPQR series of books. Your videos make so much more sense of it all. Thank you.

Does anyone else see the optical illusion dots? 5:41
This channel deserves much more subscribers !
BEST CHANNEL. DUDe, you are the best at what you do!
I mean I wouldn't say Mattello was assaulted by what happened to him and he was breaking the law by speaking despite being vetoed.

Your videos on the politics of the late republic are great. I would love to see more.
Historia Civilis, you sir, are awesome!
There is a character in skyrim called nepos and he is part of the conspiracy in Markarth.
I immediately thought of that too! Good old Nepos the Nose haha
Also "Marcus Tullius Cicero" has two major character names
Amazing music today. Great video man, so glad you are back and working hard. :)
The optical illusion starting at 5:39 really messed up my concentration
I'm really loving these videos.
A video on Augustus would be fantastic and perhaps the collapse of the Roman Empire
You mean the history of the empire
Love your videos man great to see you are making more again!
Thanks for the new video!! Love the channel!
I can't wait till you finish Octavian versus Anthony. You doing a great service for history sir
It made perfect sense now that I’ve watched your video. Cato by being in office would have denied it to a less desirable candidate, sort of like a saboteur of sorts amongst the tribunes.

Love these videos man! Like straight and watch !

Catalina's supports where "Hanging around." Sounds like some of his other friends from the last video
just a suggestion, video on the Marian epoch, stretching from the Cimbrian war all the way to Sulla, I think it's a great topic! Also your videos are amazing!
You've been on a roll!
Was posting that comment part of your plan?
Amsel Smith
Of courshe
Not really sure about the music being so loud but keep it up, loving these!
how can you make these squares so expressive?
man your videos are all dope
Can you explain sulla sometime?
love these series!
Another Historia Civilis video!? YES!!!
FANASTIC !!! please do more on early roman republic, - LIVY - early roman history.
This would make a great computer game.
Sulla videos! Let's beef up that Roman history playlist my guy
Would be cool to have a video all about the life of Pompey Magnus. He got a lot accomplished in his.
2:10 "I used the reforms to *destroy* the reforms."
yet another nice video.. would you mind makeing a playlist in cronologic order.. since im a little confused in what happen when and what led to what.. keep up the good work
3:25 I got a weird optical illusion where Italy seemed to be getting narrower.
Awesome video, as always, could we have a later period battle, like a Hundred Years' War battle etc, love your channel :)
Sooooo much historical parallel! This echoes the both the cold war and even current times.
I'm loving this series. Are you going to cover some consul from the earlier part of the republic?
I can't explain how much I like these videos, absolutely my favorite content to consume while I work. Thank you Historia Civil is😁❤
Metellus forgot to ask tribune Aquila if he was okay with the bill
