If Julius Caesar doesn't win, I am moving to Gaul.
Caesar is treating us so well he's made us into equites
I came, I saw, I subscribed.
I've never seen someone so carefully not mention someone while mentioning them so very loudly before.
"Jesus Christ, it's already complicated enough"
"The Assembly of the Centuries"
Stopped learning for exams so I could get educated in politics of ancient Roman empire.
loving that 60 frames,
I see a new Historia Civilis video; I watch immediately.
The gods have blessed us with a new video. Praise the imperator, mighty Historia Civilis.
I am a simple man.
The thing that impresses me most about Roman organization was how they had downward influence by the upper class and upward influence by the lower class. This is even reflected in their military, as Historia Civilis pointed out in a different video. It's unfortunate though that the tribal assembly wasn't ever reformed to better represent the people of Rome. I guess reforming an entire arm of the government would be a difficult thing to do, especially since the ones wanting the reform would be the poor and the ones wanting it to stay would be the rich.
Okay, so purple is definitely a populist candidate, and orange is probably highly conservative and patrician-favoring. Nobody voted for both, and the poorer classes overwhelmingly wanted purple.
The reason for the 3 assemblies is because the assembly of the centuries was a hold over from the early republic where most citizens were also in the army, so they lined up in their military ranks to vote for what were positions that in early Rome were mostly military. Consuls used to lead armies in battle. The Tribal assembly elected jobs that were for the people and the city in general...non-military jobs. The last assembly elected officials that looked after the rights and the voice of the mob, the plebs.
Considering the Roman “patronage” system, even if the patricians and equites “only” have 18 votes between them, they were probably the patrons of much of the first class, making them very loyal to the patricians and equites. The first class would probably themselves be patrons to the second, third, and fourth classes..
Proletarii?
Dude, you have an error where you labeled the "Plebeian Assembly" as "The assembly of the centuries" at time
Historia Civilis can you do video about running a bussiness in Rome, or really about how hard/easy was it to get wealthy for regular citizens?
And this is why I laugh so hard when I see so many movies claiming Rome was a democracy.
Considering the time this was organized in and limitations in communication and transport, I'm actually quite impressed with the system they came up with.
