Hej my favorit history channel! Why not making some videos about Traianus campaigns to conquer Dacia 101-102 and 105-106 AC. And how he raised the first stone bridge over Danubius...
Brutus: "caesar is dead Rome is ours!!" Anthony, Lepidus and Young Octavian: "And we took that personally!!" They revenge caesar, they control the all Empire and Octavian is Emperor.
Caesar: Boys as usual they have us outnumbered, out supplied and they hold the high ground. Men of the Tenth: So they're right where you want them? Caesar: Too right. Let's end this thing.
Respect thread for the 10th Legion, who, in their 40s and 50s, despite being outnumbered and fighting uphill, fucked the Pompeiians up. 🙏🙌 They were Julius Caesar's Old Guard
This was the final video (at least in chronological order) of our collaboration mini-series about "Caesar's civil war", for me personally it was a great trip and of course my initiation into making videos for a really wide audience and it was all because of my good friend Mago and his channel "HistoryMarche". Side notes: 1) The recreation of this campaign was probably my most difficult task to date, the main source that I used to piece everything together was "De Bello Hispanico" and in terms of clarity it leaves much to be desired, the position of the cities are probably not exactly on point and for some cities specifically, for eg Munda, the locations are uncertain and still debated. So I really had little to work with and I really tried my best to reconcile the description with the map, I even had to consult some really old maps that I managed to find in order to recreate the positioning of each city, so slight miss-placements are to be expected. To my knowledge, it is the most extensive recreation of the campaign. 2) After the Pompeians broke there are some mentions of atrocities that were committed by the Caesarians, with dead Pompeians being used to fill ditches and heads stuck on pikes outside the walls of Munda. 3) Munda was indeed the largest battle in terms of scale, even though on paper Thapsus was equally large, a larger portion of Caesarians and Optimates were occupied in their respective fortifications during the battle of Thapsus

@@anderstopansson Thats such a great idea, it is like within my top priorities, the MAIN problem with the Dacian campaigns of Trajan is that they are so poorly recorded, for eg Trajan wrote an account of his campaign in the same style with Caesars commentaries, it was called "De Bello Dacico", but unfortunately for us history lovers it is LOST... i always wished that it could somehow miraculously be recovered or found, maybe somewhere in the Vatican libraries, well who knows. But as the things are, there is not much to work with, despite the sourcing problems though i DO have an ambitious plan, i will at some point try to recreate the campaign using Trajans column and translate it into a series or a detailed animated video, we can certainly collaborate with my friend Mago and make something in depth about it. It wont be an exact and historically accurate recreation of what exactly happened, but it is going to be based on our most extensive source for the campaign, that is the column.
@@hocestbellumchannel Yes, I´ve seen it in Foro Traiano in Rome. Thanks for beeing interesed in that fight between the emperor of the known world at the time and king Decebalus, and for your time answering me.
Cmon guys, you cannot say that labienus was just a former cesearian, he was his right hand man in Gaul and a dear friend of him before he crossed the rubicon. Well, with that said, im very glad to see that the quality of your videos is always improving !
Yeah, I was surprised they didn't talk about his decorated Caesarean past. Historia Civilis highlights his Gallic military history in his vids about Caesar. Absolutely love that Labienus was as challenging an opponent as he was a good ally to Caesar.
More like, his troops loved marching with him. He was known to personally take part in most drills and march on foot himself to inspire his tired troops
Twice now you have created a video about a battle I'd never even heard of from a period of history I thought I knew almost everything about for that I thank you, keep up the awesome work Much love from Australia
Credit must be given to Pompeii on paper he had it won, he had bigger army and he played Caesars game of getting a good position and he stuck to his game plan. Unfortunately for him he was Pompeii and not Caesar.
@@luisromanlegionaire Ye, I feel like the only reason he lost was because he never really had the initiative. Caesar always seems know what he wants to do, where as Pompeii hesitated.
@Plamen Stoev Yeah, the Bulgars' entire existence today is because of the fact that the Romans would rely on their superior size and perhaps units so they weren't ready for the smart Bulgarian strategy
They were more than employees. They weren't only prepared to fight they couldn't wait. It's crazy to think about men knowing they're about to be in the middle of carnage being so eager.

I really appreciate the way you guys take time to lay out the strategic background to any given battle. Looking at the skirmishes and maneuvers leading up to the battle gives so much context to the way things play out in the actual battle itself, and educates us all the more fully for it. Thanks guys ❤️
The 10th Legion should have been brushed aside very easily but when you face a battle hardened legion like this one, it's much easier said than done. If someone would do a list of the most hardcore units of all time, the 10th Legion should be included there without a shadow of a doubt.
@@opperturk124 You almost right but ... Labienus remembered very well what happened at Pharsalus with the cavalry. Secondly, he knew well the Tenth and veterans of some other understrength hardened veterans legions of that side (If my memory goes well, also Eight and Ninth) and he suspected bad things could happen his cavalry troops.

The 10th Legion were so freaking amazing. The only other military force i love more then the 10th are the Silver Shields from Alexanders legendary 10 year campaign.
Very nicely done! Had no idea about this fight. Also loving the lower thirds you used. The shining light through the words on a fluctuating color background was both eye catching and elegant.
Thank you sir. Hoc Est Bellum takes the credit for most of the visuals, including lower thirds. On the flip side, I got 4 or 5 of your videos piled up in my "To Watch" list. Been so swamped with work that I barely have any downtime and this state of emergency just complicated things even further. The Tours "What if" video is especially intriguing me.
I really love the graphic and animations on these videos, imagine playing a strategy simulation game with these humble and charming graphics, one that is more focussed on strategical and tactical mechanics than graphics.
Art of wart the general who moves the enemy and not move by him is exactly what ceasar did as always a step ahead of his enimies and i salute the veterans of ceasars legions the 2 centurion whose willing to sacrifice and the 10th legion the best there is imagine what carnage would it have been if the 10th legion was at full strength it will litterally shred thier opponents even on upward fighting unbelievable men of strength and courage and also endurance
Have to say that was a gloriously brilliant and fantastically enjoyable in-depth look at the major battles of Caesar's civil war, show-casing exactly how and why, Caeser became master of the roman republic and nearly its first king/emperor if not for his assassination. Only quip I have is that a video on the Battle of Ilerda from the first Spanish campaign of 49BC is missing from this great series, which was the first major military campaign and confrontation of said war.
when you are at home ,sent by employer for at least 14 days with 75% from the basic monthly wage (corona case)... this is a perfect episode to be entertained Thanks, HistoryMarche!
Hey Dan, nice to see you in the comment section. Yeah, the state of emergency kind of disrupted everyone. On my end I'm trying to stick to schedule but I think I'll have to delay Hannibal episode 9 for sometime in April - it was originally planned for March.
This was a fun n interesting series on Caesar's battle's fought during the Roman Civil War. And I enjoyed it immensely. Nice job to whoever made this possible.
Thank you very much. My friend Hoc Est Bellum takes the lion's share of the credit for this one. Make sure to check out his channel (link is in the description), he also makes animated battles.
I followed many historical channels like this one. However, this channel's visualization and video is 10x better than other channels. It reminds of a bit of Total War, which is pretty awesome.
You should definitely make a shorts about munda. When the Legio X starts pushing back the pompeians back uphill. I always get goosebumps when i rewatch that moment ! :D
"Halt! Identify yourself!" Caeserian: "Oh be quiet, we're trying to capture the walls." "Oh okay." Caesarian: "...f*** me, I can't believe that worked. That's for the record."
Biased Historia Civilis said this battle was a brute force victory by Caesar. They went into no detail on the tactics involved. Hats off again, my friend. Keep making these amazing documentaries :')
For Historia Civilis, Labienus died in the battle field and then the army routed. Caesar even buried him in that field. For History Marche, the army thought labienus had retreated and then they routed.
@@cassiofficial Yep. Caesar's decision to split up the cavalry to let one contingent attack the camp was genius. Not only did it prevent Labienus from being able to assist the pompeiian left flank, it also gave him no option but to pursue the cavalry to make it appear as though he's withdrawing. Labienus sadly took the bait
@@cassiofficial According to "De bello Hispanico" the army thought the cavalry was retreating (the cavalry was led by Labienus) and this caused the final rout. Labienus was probably killed at some point during the pursuit.
If you tagged each representing point of men/legion/cavalry/etc..With a quantified number of men, I think it would help people get a better understanding of the numbers of men involved in the battles. You already do way more than I could ever hope to, I Love this so much, I just had an idea. Thank you for the upload!
There is an author named Stephen Dando-Collins who has written a series of books based on the history of Roman Legions. They are all a great read. He has one named Caesars Legion which is a history of the Tenth. These were some extremely tough men who’s loyalty to Caesar was unwavering.
Gnaeus's brother Sextus managed to escape this battle while his older brother was killed during the retreat. Sextus would live on for another decade and be a thorn to Caesar's successors Octavian and Anthony. He managed to outlast even Brutus and Cassius by keeping the island of Sicily independent for a time protected by his navy. Although he would eventually be captured and executed by Anthony.
How come you didn't mention what happened after the battle of Munda? The remnants of the losing army retreated to the city but what then? Did they surrender? Did they kill their leader the Pompean? No info what so ever. But in general a good video never the less! Just a little more on the aftermath of the battle next time please.
Well that's because the video was already around 25minutes long, which is already quite large for an animated video that has to be release within a specific time-frame, of course we can consider making a video that will specifically cover the aftermath and the mop up operations. One thing that i could have included indeed is a call out with some brief description of what happened after the battle of Munda besides Caesar winning.
@@hocestbellumchannel if the purpose of the video is to educate, then who cares how long it is? All of us who watch it want to be educated. If animating is a chore, then just put up an image and have the narration tell the story. It wouldn't take that much effort and anyone who's watched the first 25 minutes will watch the final bit so that they know the entire story.
Yes, Munda was sieged and easily taken the same day as the Pompeians had suffered severe losses and handled it over. Labienus had died previously in the rout but the Pompeian Army offered little to no resistance as they now acknowledged their defeat. Gnaeus and Sextus managed to escape to Cordova but now hardly anyone would help their cause and they failed to ignite a new revolt. Gnaeus was eventually captured and killed not even a month after the battle. Sextus, on the other hand, had a brilliant career. He managed to escape Caesar’s power for a year by retreating to Sicily (not that Caesar was so keen on hunting him down) and benefitted hugely from Caesar’s murder just 1 year after the Battle of Munda. In the first stages after Caesar’s death, the pro Republican faction took over the politics in the city and inspired by Cicero, they moved back to the Status Quo. In this contest Sextus negotiated with Lepidus (who received the Spanish province following this new arrangement) that he would forever turn down every ambition on Spain in change for refunding of the goods taken from his father Pompey. His friendly attitude towards the Senate and the new power distribution resulted in him being appointed by the Senate as the Prefect of the Fleet in the Western Mediterranean in 43 BC. In the same year though, the political situation changed as the 2nd triumvirate (Octavian, Mark Anthony and Lepidus) took over more and more power. A persecution began towards the ones who had killed Caesar (to which the Senate had given the Amnesty following Cicero’s advices) and the sustainers of the Republic and the Senate in general. Among them Cicero himself, who was killed in his own villa in December of 43 BC. Among the enemies of the Triumvirate was Sextus too. He managed to evade the persecution by gathering his powerful fleet and taking over Sicily, Corse and Sardinia in 42 BC. From there he started raiding Octavian and Anthony’s lands. His activity didn’t stop neither when Octavian and Anthony succeeded in eliminating Brutus and Cassius, the last remaining Caesar’s murderers in 42 BC. They eventually tried to crash him after the Battle of Philippi, but failed, and his co-operation with Lepidus (together with Lepidus not taking part in the Philippi battle) was actually the reason for Lepidus’s marginalization from the Triumvirate which resulting in him getting the smallest share of the Empire (just Northern Africa). Sextus’ grip over the seas, strengthened by his Lepidus’s support, was actually so powerful that Anthony and Octavian had to offer terms to him and sign a peace treaty (39 BC) in order to secure the sea front before the preparation of Anthony’s campaign on the Eastern front against the Parthians. Said treaty provided that Sextus would be recognized as the ruler of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and the Greek Peloponnese, that his followers (mainly persecuted by the Octavian and Anthony who had seeked shelter in safe Pompey’s Army) would be given amnesty and that he would become a Consul after 35 BC. In turn he had to stop raiding the coasts of Octavian’s dominion and handle half of his fleet. None of these conditions were respected from either side, resulting in a new all out war between Sextus and Octavian while Anthony campaigned and the East and still gave Octavian some support. After inflicting major losses to Octavian’s fleet in the battle of the Strait of Messina in 38 BC, Sextus suffered a tremendous and decisive blow in the Battle of Naulochus in 36 BC which resulted in his fleet being completely wiped out. Sextus escaped to the East where he was captured and killed by Anthony’s officers. Octavian annexed the Isles and proceeded to annex Lepidus’s Northern Africa the following year with the excuse of him having supported Sextus, thus resulting in the end of the Triumvirate and the division of the whole Empire into a Western side to Octavian, and an Eastern side to Anthony. Sextus actually managed to outlive Caesar of 8 years while gathering all the Republicans that were gradually being defeated elsewhere in the Empire by Octavian and Anthony and making a Stand to Octavian’s power, the last stand of the Pompeian Party, being the last civil war Octavian faced before shutting down the other 2 Triumvirates and taking over the whole Empire.
While Caesar's decision to attack frontally Pompey's high ground seemed foolhardy initially, I think it demonstrated his ability to open up and exploit new opportunities created by his determined push. In the midst of the chaos of the fight, Caesar saw an opportunity (opened by his battle-hardened veterans) and seized it by ordering an attack on Pompey's right flank.
I am utterly convinced that Warhammer 40K's Primarch Rogal Dorn was made from Caesar's DNA. "Got a problem? Have you tried building fortifications around it?"
I used to regard Caesar as the most overrated general of all time. But this man campaigned pretty much everywhere in the known world. He conducted 3 campaigns in Spain alone during his carrier (fun fact, His first ever and last campaign where in Spain). For this reason alone, he is one of the greatest generals in history.
Men of the Tenth were actually all between 33-36 yrs old, they had all been conscripted at the ages of 17-20, already serving for almost 17 yrs at the battle of Munda.
Little known fact: the Optimates followed the religion of Optimism, with their god Optimist Prime. Priests of Optimism were known as Optimistics or simply, Optimists.
Somebody didn't do their homework because they just completely left out Caesar's old second in command. He actually controlled a good chunk of the army and yet only once is he mentioned.
Yep we're actually considering doing more about Caesar. I guess we'll see. Though I'm personally a bit fan of Historia Civilis, his narratives are excellent.

I really love the graphic and animations on these videos, imagine playing a strategy simulation game with these humble and charming graphics, one that is more focussed on strategical and tactical mechanics than graphics.
I really like the way this channel covers history and battles.
It's not just event x y z.
The thought process, the decision-making, is explained too.
Thank you very much historymarche
Art of wart the general who moves the enemy and not move by him is exactly what ceasar did as always a step ahead of his enimies and i salute the veterans of ceasars legions the 2 centurion whose willing to sacrifice and the 10th legion the best there is imagine what carnage would it have been if the 10th legion was at full strength it will litterally shred thier opponents even on upward fighting unbelievable men of strength and courage and also endurance
Caesar: sees a flat spot for a fort
10th: aw shit, here we go again
Haha!
Pompey: I have the high ground
Caesar: I have the 10th
that guy who shouted "BE QUIET!" sure loves walking in the fog for relaxation.
no wars, no sieges, nothing. just chillin' with his caesarian homies.
-''This was the largest civil war in the ancient world''
Meanwhile in China : ''Hold my kingdoms''
Have to say that was a gloriously brilliant and fantastically enjoyable in-depth look at the major battles of Caesar's civil war, show-casing exactly how and why, Caeser became master of the roman republic and nearly its first king/emperor if not for his assassination. Only quip I have is that a video on the Battle of Ilerda from the first Spanish campaign of 49BC is missing from this great series, which was the first major military campaign and confrontation of said war.
I remember Caesar quote something like this in his account: "I had fought many times for victory, but at Munda, I fought for my life"
when you are at home ,sent by employer for at least 14 days with 75% from the basic monthly wage (corona case)... this is a perfect episode to be entertained
Thanks, HistoryMarche!
Hey Dan, nice to see you in the comment section. Yeah, the state of emergency kind of disrupted everyone. On my end I'm trying to stick to schedule but I think I'll have to delay Hannibal episode 9 for sometime in April - it was originally planned for March.
@@HistoryMarche better late than never :)
This was a fun n interesting series on Caesar's battle's fought during the Roman Civil War. And I enjoyed it immensely. Nice job to whoever made this possible.
Great video, thanks for taking the time to make this!
Fantastic video! So many thinks I didn't know of this battle. I'm from close to Cordoba
Beautifully done! Really love the aesthetics. Of course the scripting and narration is top quality as well but the visuals...oh my :)
Thank you very much. My friend Hoc Est Bellum takes the lion's share of the credit for this one. Make sure to check out his channel (link is in the description), he also makes animated battles.
For more than 2000 years the name Caesar is a symbol of power and majesty!
Fr we even got lil ceasers
I followed many historical channels like this one. However, this channel's visualization and video is 10x better than other channels. It reminds of a bit of Total War, which is pretty awesome.
You guys are doing an amazing job, keep up the good work! After the videos inspired by romanian history, this is an amazing series as well
Damnit I'm tryna sleep, why do you gotta release this now??? Edit: I've just watched the video, fantastic job!!! 💯💯💯
You should definitely make a shorts about munda. When the Legio X starts pushing back the pompeians back uphill. I always get goosebumps when i rewatch that moment ! :D
Fantastic, would love to see more videos on Caesar 🙂👍🏼
I'm gonna leave you a positive comment. Keep up the good work. What you are doing is amazing. I love the little details.
"Halt! Identify yourself!"
Caeserian: "Oh be quiet, we're trying to capture the walls."
"Oh okay."
Caesarian: "...f*** me, I can't believe that worked. That's for the record."
In a nutshell, rofl!
Lol!!!!
Great job, thanks a lot for bringing back history.
I like how Caesar do alot of fortification which is sadly lost alot in the medieval era. Caesar is realy a Fortification Master.
What? Europe has many fortifications so many infact it hampers both the Rampaging Mongols and the Great Ottomans lmao.
Thank you again HistoryMarche, thank you so much!!!
20:38
Soldier: Guess I'll die (without my shield)
probably he was shiting his pants before Ceasar took his shield
Biased Historia Civilis said this battle was a brute force victory by Caesar. They went into no detail on the tactics involved.
Hats off again, my friend. Keep making these amazing documentaries :')
Thank you sir. Always appreciate your feedback. Although I'm absolutely a fan boy Historia Civilis.
For Historia Civilis, Labienus died in the battle field and then the army routed. Caesar even buried him in that field. For History Marche, the army thought labienus had retreated and then they routed.
@@cassiofficial
Yep. Caesar's decision to split up the cavalry to let one contingent attack the camp was genius. Not only did it prevent Labienus from being able to assist the pompeiian left flank, it also gave him no option but to pursue the cavalry to make it appear as though he's withdrawing.
Labienus sadly took the bait
why are they biased? I think they bring some interesting facts about the period.
@@cassiofficial According to "De bello Hispanico" the army thought the cavalry was retreating (the cavalry was led by Labienus) and this caused the final rout.
Labienus was probably killed at some point during the pursuit.
Imagine being in the first line against 70 000 men face to face swinging at each other
I was wondering about the same thing! You must know you are not making it alive
If you tagged each representing point of men/legion/cavalry/etc..With a quantified number of men, I think it would help people get a better understanding of the numbers of men involved in the battles. You already do way more than I could ever hope to, I Love this so much, I just had an idea. Thank you for the upload!
Thank you ! Thats actually a very good idea
Legionaires where like the Amish from Family Guy , Cesar says we need a fort , boom fort done .
Hell yeah I been waiting for one of my channels to do Munda for a while. Commenting and liking while watching all the ads 😁
Oh it was soooo good!
There is an author named Stephen Dando-Collins who has written a series of books based on the history of Roman Legions. They are all a great read. He has one named Caesars Legion which is a history of the Tenth. These were some extremely tough men who’s loyalty to Caesar was unwavering.
Well done. Thanks for putting this together.
Gnaeus's brother Sextus managed to escape this battle while his older brother was killed during the retreat. Sextus would live on for another decade and be a thorn to Caesar's successors Octavian and Anthony. He managed to outlast even Brutus and Cassius by keeping the island of Sicily independent for a time protected by his navy. Although he would eventually be captured and executed by Anthony.
these videos are the shit, keep them comin for many years
How marvelous it would have been for me to have an apprentice who can so easily overwhelm an opponent who has the high ground...
Thank you for all of the great content. Stay safe and stay healthy.
Thank you sir. Likewise, stay safe during these crazy times.
We thank kindly, stay safe and healthy!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
Happy I found this channel. I like the flavor of its accounts of these battles.
The 10th legion might just be my favorite military force in history.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for your work. EPIC Channel !!!!
It's like they had something against poopin in the same camp twice...
Thanks for an excellent video! all hail the 10th!
"This general is the perfect enemy! He runs instead of fighting! Is there any point in killing him?"
Actually the second line is, "He does not stand but runs away!
GREAT ! PLEASE MORE ABOUT ROMAN'S WARS!!! AND ANOTHER PART OF PUNIC WARS PLEASEEEEE I BEG YOUUUU!
I'm working on Hannibal part 9 right now.
Too nice historic video with clear explaining thanks
How come you didn't mention what happened after the battle of Munda? The remnants of the losing army retreated to the city but what then? Did they surrender? Did they kill their leader the Pompean? No info what so ever. But in general a good video never the less! Just a little more on the aftermath of the battle next time please.
Good point. They should have put more info about what happened after. Seeing that this is the last video in the series.
Well that's because the video was already around 25minutes long, which is already quite large for an animated video that has to be release within a specific time-frame, of course we can consider making a video that will specifically cover the aftermath and the mop up operations.
One thing that i could have included indeed is a call out with some brief description of what happened after the battle of Munda besides Caesar winning.
@@hocestbellumchannel if the purpose of the video is to educate, then who cares how long it is? All of us who watch it want to be educated. If animating is a chore, then just put up an image and have the narration tell the story. It wouldn't take that much effort and anyone who's watched the first 25 minutes will watch the final bit so that they know the entire story.
Yes, Munda was sieged and easily taken the same day as the Pompeians had suffered severe losses and handled it over. Labienus had died previously in the rout but the Pompeian Army offered little to no resistance as they now acknowledged their defeat. Gnaeus and Sextus managed to escape to Cordova but now hardly anyone would help their cause and they failed to ignite a new revolt. Gnaeus was eventually captured and killed not even a month after the battle. Sextus, on the other hand, had a brilliant career. He managed to escape Caesar’s power for a year by retreating to Sicily (not that Caesar was so keen on hunting him down) and benefitted hugely from Caesar’s murder just 1 year after the Battle of Munda. In the first stages after Caesar’s death, the pro Republican faction took over the politics in the city and inspired by Cicero, they moved back to the Status Quo. In this contest Sextus negotiated with Lepidus (who received the Spanish province following this new arrangement) that he would forever turn down every ambition on Spain in change for refunding of the goods taken from his father Pompey. His friendly attitude towards the Senate and the new power distribution resulted in him being appointed by the Senate as the Prefect of the Fleet in the Western Mediterranean in 43 BC. In the same year though, the political situation changed as the 2nd triumvirate (Octavian, Mark Anthony and Lepidus) took over more and more power. A persecution began towards the ones who had killed Caesar (to which the Senate had given the Amnesty following Cicero’s advices) and the sustainers of the Republic and the Senate in general. Among them Cicero himself, who was killed in his own villa in December of 43 BC. Among the enemies of the Triumvirate was Sextus too. He managed to evade the persecution by gathering his powerful fleet and taking over Sicily, Corse and Sardinia in 42 BC. From there he started raiding Octavian and Anthony’s lands. His activity didn’t stop neither when Octavian and Anthony succeeded in eliminating Brutus and Cassius, the last remaining Caesar’s murderers in 42 BC. They eventually tried to crash him after the Battle of Philippi, but failed, and his co-operation with Lepidus (together with Lepidus not taking part in the Philippi battle) was actually the reason for Lepidus’s marginalization from the Triumvirate which resulting in him getting the smallest share of the Empire (just Northern Africa). Sextus’ grip over the seas, strengthened by his Lepidus’s support, was actually so powerful that Anthony and Octavian had to offer terms to him and sign a peace treaty (39 BC) in order to secure the sea front before the preparation of Anthony’s campaign on the Eastern front against the Parthians. Said treaty provided that Sextus would be recognized as the ruler of Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica and the Greek Peloponnese, that his followers (mainly persecuted by the Octavian and Anthony who had seeked shelter in safe Pompey’s Army) would be given amnesty and that he would become a Consul after 35 BC. In turn he had to stop raiding the coasts of Octavian’s dominion and handle half of his fleet. None of these conditions were respected from either side, resulting in a new all out war between Sextus and Octavian while Anthony campaigned and the East and still gave Octavian some support. After inflicting major losses to Octavian’s fleet in the battle of the Strait of Messina in 38 BC, Sextus suffered a tremendous and decisive blow in the Battle of Naulochus in 36 BC which resulted in his fleet being completely wiped out. Sextus escaped to the East where he was captured and killed by Anthony’s officers. Octavian annexed the Isles and proceeded to annex Lepidus’s Northern Africa the following year with the excuse of him having supported Sextus, thus resulting in the end of the Triumvirate and the division of the whole Empire into a Western side to Octavian, and an Eastern side to Anthony. Sextus actually managed to outlive Caesar of 8 years while gathering all the Republicans that were gradually being defeated elsewhere in the Empire by Octavian and Anthony and making a Stand to Octavian’s power, the last stand of the Pompeian Party, being the last civil war Octavian faced before shutting down the other 2 Triumvirates and taking over the whole Empire.
While Caesar's decision to attack frontally Pompey's high ground seemed foolhardy initially, I think it demonstrated his ability to open up and exploit new opportunities created by his determined push. In the midst of the chaos of the fight, Caesar saw an opportunity (opened by his battle-hardened veterans) and seized it by ordering an attack on Pompey's right flank.
Caesar had supreme confidence in his ability, and was thus determined to seize the initiative.
I am utterly convinced that Warhammer 40K's Primarch Rogal Dorn was made from Caesar's DNA. "Got a problem? Have you tried building fortifications around it?"
Legio X Equestris being badass as usual
Man you deserve an award for that nice general voice you have. ;)
Must be some Optimates and Gauls who disliked this video
Superb documentary!
didn`t you just made a video like a week ago or something ?
it`s still a welcome surprise
10/10
Covid19 would never have happened if caesar would still be in power
SimpliSafe for the Roman Empire... you can view all of your borders with ease from your residence in Rome!
There is no Caesar without the 10th! Goodness
Honestly 10th legion was the most badass legion to ever exist
I used to regard Caesar as the most overrated general of all time. But this man campaigned pretty much everywhere in the known world. He conducted 3 campaigns in Spain alone during his carrier (fun fact, His first ever and last campaign where in Spain). For this reason alone, he is one of the greatest generals in history.
Men of the Tenth were actually all between 33-36 yrs old, they had all been conscripted at the ages of 17-20, already serving for almost 17 yrs at the battle of Munda.
Little known fact: the Optimates followed the religion of Optimism, with their god Optimist Prime. Priests of Optimism were known as Optimistics or simply, Optimists.
Lol, I love that the dude named Jihad goes by "Gihad" in the opening sequence. Livin that #Post-911 life.
Too nice history video with clearly explaining thanks 👍👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Glad you liked it
Somebody didn't do their homework because they just completely left out Caesar's old second in command. He actually controlled a good chunk of the army and yet only once is he mentioned.
Historia civilis makes labienus appear much more significant than he actually was in the sources
Super nice video about interfering struggles among first level of leaders of Roman's empire...too nice video
Great video. I am waiting for The gallic wars. You will make a better series than Historia Civilis and K&G
Yep we're actually considering doing more about Caesar. I guess we'll see. Though I'm personally a bit fan of Historia Civilis, his narratives are excellent.
@@HistoryMarche, your narration and graphics are much better and detailed than HC,and not to mention that you are not biased like him.
With Caesar very day is Leg Day !! 😂😂
Excuse me, but how the fuck is Caesar always outnumbered?
I held a moment of silence for the centurions at 13:55
21:56: Wiheim scream!
Once heard it cannot be unheard!
Great video, thank you! It was almost made without the Wilhelm Scream.
1:18 did you record that? That's awesome haha
