Dude was such badass, he was born in July before July was invented.
😂
😂😂
lol. 🤣👍🍺
But July is named after Caesar, even more chad
and his successor is August
I love that Caesar became so infuriated at the Ptolemie for murdering Pompey Magnus. Even though they were political enemies, Caesar still respected Pompey and took great offense at his death. This scene in the show "Rome" is one of my personal favorite and does an excellent job of portraying the great nobility of Julius Caesar.
Yeah, it’s kinda respectable, but Caesar’s downfall was caused by him being way too respectful and kind to his enemies, who were snakes
@@theuniverseisme432 yep. “What is honor for a man in a world of the honorless?”
I interpreted it that he still wanted to bring him back to the fold. The guy was a tad bit lenient to his enemies.
@@kingston4313 He never viewed Pompey as his true enemy though and always maintained respect for him as his fellow countryman. This is how Caesar helped bring about a sense of empathy to military strategy that we still maintain today -- he was different from Alexander and Genghis Khan in that sense. Imo at least.
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!
Julius Caesar is so legendary that even after he was assassinated by the conspirators in the Senate, he still got a last laugh beyond the grave.
Like
He became immortal
Ceaser was a dangerous, smart and fast calculative ambitious man. A great Hero
Caesar did not "fall".
He was felled.
There's a huge difference.
Exactly. Although he had poor judgment in trusting his enemies which led to his felling
@@theuniverseisme432 A WARNING TO ALLL
he did not lose, he merely failed to win!

Caesar really was quite the genius. He didn't waste a moment of his life.
He was aware that after “alea iacta est” every form of apology would lead to such an overwhelming backlash, that he had no choice but to continue on his path. He is one of the few that actually had the guts to do that. A lot to learn about the human condition by studying Julius Caesar
He worked non stop for things bigger than himself

Correction: Julius's family wasn't rich, though one of the highest patriarchal families in Rome. The ransom was given by the Roman Senate as Julius was already a member at a very young age.
That's what I know . Good correction

That guy didn't waste a motion. Seems like a political genius. I would like to have played chess with him.
He'd be more likely to change the rules of the game than to beat you through pure strategy
@Slywerk you can lose a lot of things besides your life and you can definitely reset after losing
I think he was a checkers guy
chess didnt come around till the dark ages
@@davyroger3773 he would build a wall around the opponents troops and claim they can't move outside of it without reinforcements as it would break realism
Caesar also left 300 Cistersti (1 month's salary) to every single Roman citizen in his will, out of his fortune. Never heard of any dictator or emperor doing that ever.
I came I saw I conquered my place in history
This is the thing many legendary conquerors have in common: Being in the fight with thier men, eating tje same food, riding under the rain with them and generally sharing thier hardship. This is why thier men loved them so much and would push themselves so hard to make thier leaders proud.

@@oddpoppetesq.3467 While there is some great artwork used in this video. Please keep in mind some of it is really anachronistic. For exmple there are some depictions of the colosseum which was built over 100 years later.
But as said that doesn't take away from the artwork itself
True
Many of the images are from the HBO show Rome. Great show. I recommend it. It's awesome.
Same thing happened to me
Julius Caesar was one of the five best generals/tacticians/leaders ever. He wasn't quite the consensus leader of, say, his grand nephew Octavian, but those who adhered to him were utterly loyal. His field achievements speak for themselves...
The greatest general in history of mankind is Julius Caesar.

I mean u should be interested. Because these men had the primal urge to conquer. U also have that urge too.

I learned more about the Roman Empire in this video than 4 years of NYC high school.
It is interesting that they mention Rome at all in your school.
Duh
Should have gotten a library card
I wonder which has more concrete. Ancient Rome or NYC
Obviously NYC is run by democrats.
I was 12 when I first learned about Caesar and instantly knew I want to learn more about him. Indeed a great man.
I was around like 10. I still remember giving an answer to the teacher about him lol
Caesar is like playing a fallout game with max speech and charisma.

Never a dull moment in Rome those days.
I love Ancient Roman history keep these videos coming and you’ll have a loyal viewer.
Hahaha same here man... Count one more for it

Do you know any other good channels about Roman Empire?
It's amazing the names that are said throughout the ages. Imagine someone talking about you 2,062 years after your death lol. That's insane. Most people are completely forgotten 50 years or so after their deaths. Once everyone you knew and interacted with also die, that's like your second and final death. Not for these guys!
💯Same here & Ancient Egypt too
The death of Gaius Julius Caesar was arguably one of the most significant events in civilized human history.
I see my little history-passion comment has incited a religious debate, this was not my intention lol.
Apart from the death of Jesus Christ, I agree
@@sovereigngrace9723 no
@@randombanana640 you really think the death of Jesus Christ was less significant than Julius caesar ?
@@randombanana640 yo savage
@@sovereigngrace9723 state your argument first
Even to this day, you can’t think of Ancient Rome without thinking of Caesar. He was what made Rome a military superpower; his military conquests are legendary. Many military leaders to this day learn much from his tactics and strategies. Makes me wonder what kind of victories he would have if he had access to modern day weaponry.
TILL THIS DAY 😤😤😤
@@Nuggets1527he wouldn't live to this very day
The Senate and Pompeii demanded Caesar to relieve from his position.
*This enraged Julius who punished them severely*
Well that's quite oversimplified.
Oversimplified reference
@@ShubhamSingh-xk3qe x.
He would've pardoned Pompey
Pompeii is the city Pompey is the general. The narrator also mispronounces it. He should know better.
Of Caesar it could be said ...... He did not say “ men take that hill “. Caesar would say “ men we will take that hill “. Imagine being in a desperate fight, worn down thirsty , tired to death . Then hearing “ Caesar stands the line “. Knowing the old man is in the fight with you .... then you really fight.
I was waiting for Mark Anthony to make that wondetful speach:
"Friends, Romans, country men; lend me your ears.
I came to bury ceasar, not to praise him..." as Shakespear put it in his play.
Great story anyway.
Apart from the historical interest, the artwork is very impressive and goes well with the oratory.
4:13 that is kinda wrong, he didn't just went to war with the pirates. He went to ask the government to solve the problem, both side of the optimates and populares refuse to solve the problem of pirates. That is why Julius Cesar had to act on his own.
Some stuff in the vid is not accurate. But still good to watch.
"kinda" is kind of wrong!
Do you know where i can learn about Caesar with maximum accuracy?
Same thing about the time of his time as Consul. He was not a Consul while he was fighting the Gualic Tribes. He was essentially a governor which gave him the same political immunity as the position of Consul. Still a decent video.
@@getorifreefire944 look up "History Civillis Julius Ceasar" it's a really good video series and goes into pretty good detail.
I used to dislike him when I saw him on tv because he was portrayed as bad guy, but after watched this video, I have nothing but respect for him. What brilliant guy. He is a brilliant strategic and work really hard to get to where he is. You can see why his soldiers, generals and people working for him are loyal to him
He plundered and squandered other regions wealth ,in a way he's a glorified pirate.
I prefer Cesar more than Alexander
I prefer Cesar more than Alexander
@@kaputasri you mean like modern day USA? Lots of similarities between today's US and Rome.
Pity that Titus Labienus wasn't mentioned. He was Caesar's friend and most reliable legate until Caesar marched on Rome. When that happened, Labienus defected to Pompey's side and was the last opponent Caesar had to deal with in his civil wars. He deserves at least half the credit for the Conquest of Gaul and in North Africa he gave Caesar a bloody nose at the Battle of Ruspina. Maybe Labienus should get his own video on this channel. I'm sure he has plenty of material to fill a video on this channel.
Very true and sharp point
Pompey had no choice when he turned against Caesar. Their friendship was a fragile one but I can understand Caesar's anger to find his friend slain in Egypt. The chance of reconciliation gone forever. That hurts. And it still ripples across 2000 years of time to this day...
He didn't care about Pompey, he was channeling Alexander chasing Darius
So basically Caesar started the Roman Empire because he saw a statue?
Lol in hindsight maybe you could say that 🤣
I think its more correct to say over a period of 20 years he triggered a series of events that lead to the end of the Republic.
that transition to empire was by no means a given.
Basically, if octavian who was the first emperor (not caesar) had been terrible at it, rome would have gone right back to being a Republic and one man rule would never had gotten enough support from the people and from the military.
It's was actually Octavian the adopted son of ceaser who created the roman empire
@@Prankester6856 yep but how did he do it? by finishing what his great uncle started
@@Prankester6856 KNOWLAGE U KNOW KNOW KNOWLAGE ABOUT ME
Commitment was more fierce in those days perhaps.
bro's ready to forgive the people who betrayed him and cried when he found out about Pompey's death that's why he's one of the GOAT generals
In Roman times, no one dies suddenly... in Caesar's books... it's right on time. Fact of the matter is, the Senate cemented his legacy.
Dude I don’t know where you get most of this animation from but my god it captures the imagination
They were stylised images from a few movies and documentaries, modt are on TH-cam
its from total war rome the videogame
It's from total war, a game you must play once in your life
@@adventuressurvivalinthailand Yeah they were quite good. I know about the Total war things I have like over 5000 hours on the franchise lol
Best documentary I seen about this topic. You have to do other videos like this again.
According to Asterix books...when vercingetorix threw his armour down at Ceasars feet, he threw it directly on Ceasars sandled toes and Ceasar jumped around in pain cursing in roman "bad words"....LOL. (Asterix and the Chieftains shield)
LOVE Asterix and Obelix!
That's just a comic lol
Wait- nah, hold up.
Octavian was never *crowned* .
He simply absorbed all of the most important posts in the empire and gave the rest to his supporters. They wouldn’t wear diadems until Diocletian. Muuuuch later in the 3rd century.
You are absolutely right
Yea the title imperor was not emperor as an absolute ruler, just the highest seat in power that would veto almost anything
You are correct. Octavian took the title "Princeps" or First Citizen, not emperor. However, this made him the epitome of George Orwell's' famous line that "some are more equal than others".
Wait- nah, hold up.

You gave me a great lesson on Roman history! Julius Caesar was a great man!!
Great video, thank you ❤
There are a few inaccuracies in this video, but the one that annoyed me the most was the claim that Caesar's boat capsized at the Battle of the Nile. I think you've confused that with a similar event that happened during the siege of Alexandria where Caesar tried to capture the lighthouse on the other side of the bay.
Excellent documentary, as a history buff and unlike today’s teachings this was not only correct but very well done. Subscribed already and very happy
This is underrated documentary, it should be 4 million views !!!
A Julius’s ceaser game would be cool
Caesar took power from the senate to become a dictator only for the senate to have their revenge against him...Even still immortalized by Rome for the balls he had
The question of last words always fascinates me. Especially in case of a violent death. Nobody utters "et tu brute" or whatever after being stabbed 20+ times by over 60 people. I mean it could have occured while there was this initial "brawl" was going on. But after the stabbing the last words of every human ever were "aaaaarrrghhh"
yeh, these things are always romanticized in media, he probably said nothing an felt pure betrayal, confusion and anger
The TV series Rome jokingly makes a reference to this.
After Caesar's assassination, the senators are gathered at Brutus' house. Mark Antony arrives and is asked to wait outside. Cassius and Cicero insist that they ought to get rid of Antony, much to Brutus' chagrin. When his mother also agrees, he turns to her and says "You too, mother?"
Imagine being Caesar’s wife during the Egypt triumph; strolling in with a foreign witch and uhhh... is that a son?
If I were Calpurnia, the assassination would've happened the day he strolled in with that broad.
When you're julius ceasar I doubt you care what your wife thinks. You're one of the most powerful men in the entire world, not just the Roman Empire.
Little Caesar.

I love learning about Rome in the ancient orders this is a great video and I’m glad to be part of this group, I share the same birthday as Julius Caesar July 13th
Right. It's amazing that some people are remembered thousands of years after they die. I'll be completely forgotten 50 years after I die lol.
That’s awesome because July was named after Julius Caesar
So few TH-camrs make the proper connection between events. Thank you for explaining how the shattering of the Triumvirate poisoned the well for Julius Caesar.
Marcus Licinius Crassus is the man who financed Caesar. Pompeius Magnus never gave Caesar a dime, and wasn't as impressed with Caesar's military victories as Crassus.
This is because Pompey, himself, was a great military general in his own right. Up until the Battle of Carrhae, Crassus was just some rich dude who hadn't distinguished himself too much on the battlefield.
This was the reason Crassus forced that ill-fated battle in the first place. ⚔️
9:59 The colosseum, as pictured ,wasn't built until 70 A.D.
Sure. But there were other places where gladiators fought. All over the Roman empire.
Beautifully made. Nice visuals, nice way of narration 👏👏👏!!! Highly enjoyed this.
Thank you very much for this video 👍☺️
My name is Cesar. Dam this dude went through a lot. We were a different breed back then.

Great summary; extremely enjoyable.

Yeah, if yiu admire his genocide in Gaul.
@@jimleon7894 at least he wanted the best for his people.... Not Like some emperor Who Just wants power
Suppose that's just your opinion. Not sure hero's and greatness mix well. Greatness and being a 'winner' comes with a cost that usually gets paid with morality and righteous indignation. Hero's should be selfless and just.
Matthew 17
“Yes, he does,” he replied.
When Peter came into the house, Jesus was the first to speak. “What do you think, Simon?” he asked. “From whom do the kings of the earth collect duty and taxes-from their own children or from others?”
“From others,” Peter answered.
“Then the children are exempt,” Jesus said to him.
John 1:13
children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
WORDS
Matthew 12:36
But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
Matthew 22:18
But Jesus, knowing their evil intent, said, "You hypocrites, why are you trying to trap me?
Show me the coin used for paying the tax.” They brought him a denarius, and he asked them, “Whose image is this? And whose inscription?
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
Then he said to them, “So give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God what is God’s.”
Wisdom 12

Brutus committed suicide because his troops were defeated and he would then be Caesar's prisioner and probably tortured to death. The same with Cassius.

Why did you skip the part where Caesar sold his daughter to Pompey. Just saying, you can't discuss the Triumverant without some understanding of the terms.
my man is a power savage!
Please explain what is a triumvirate exactly. It sounds like a balance of power between 3 powerful/political men
@@pg727 The Triumvirate was a secret pact between three Roman Senators to "rig" the elections in their favor. But rig here does not mean what it would mean in our time. Rather, what the three did was pre agree to a scheme whereby they would support each others claim to the crown in turn. This is a grotesque oversimplification. What made it so contrary to the traditions of pre imperial Rome was that Senators by tradition were all more or less equal. The First Triumvirate vary much upset this dynamic from that point moving forward. It was basically the first tangible sign of some Senators amassing a level of Power such that the Senate itself could no longer reign in members that threatened to behaved in a way contrary to the traditions and customs of the dignified pro republic Senate. The triumvirate was not a balance of power, it was the end of the widely and equally distributed power amongst the many Senators.
@@pg727 yup thats what it is. Like an alliance between 3 of them to work together instead of clashing.
@@pg727 it’s just not historically correct in this video. Cesar sold his daughter to Pompey and she died during labor, this made Pompey mad asf bc he didn’t want Cesar’s other daughter

@@deciphertwentythree7726 I am speaking from the perspective of the general public. Most people don’t want to know every detail of Caesar’s life and for most people this video will suffice. I was not speaking about individuals such as myself who have more than a dozen books on the matter.
