The Rise & Fall Of Rome's Greatest General | Julius Caesar Revealed | Timeline

- Julius Caesar is the most famous Roman of them all: brutal conqueror, dictator and victim of a gruesome assassination on the Ides of March 44 BC. 2,000 years on, he still shapes the world. He has given us some political slogans we still use today (Crossing the Rubicon), his name lives on in the month of July, and there is nothing new about Vladmir Putin's carefully cultivated military image, and no real novelty in Donald Trump's tweets and slogans.
Mary Beard is on a mission to uncover the real Caesar, and to challenge public perception. She seeks the answers to some big questions. How did he become a one-man ruler of Rome? How did he use spin and PR on his way to the top? Why was he killed? And she asks some equally intriguing little questions. How did he conceal his bald patch? Did he really die, as William Shakespeare put it, with the words Et tu, Brute on his lips? Above all, Mary explores his surprising legacy right up to the present day. Like it or not, Caesar is still present in our everyday lives, our language, and our politics. Many dictators since, not to mention some other less autocratic leaders, have learned the tricks of their trade from Julius Caesar.

I wonder what Julius Caesar would think of the comment that his main claim to fame is that "he was Cleopatra's boyfriend."
Before they were “Sonny & Cher” they were called “Caesar & Cleo”; long perpetuated mis-remembrance!
He had many lovers who were more attractive than Cleopatra.
Some of them were wives of the Senators who stabbed him.
little to no evidence that he was in fact born via caesarean section since it was not performed until much later in history..the word Cesarean simply means 'to cut' and is derived from the latin word caesus.
I think you might be interested in knowing that cesarean surgeries were performed way before. From Discovery, a famous science magazine:
“Cesarean sections have been a part of human culture since ancient times. This surgery, which is characterized by the delivery of a baby through the mother’s abdomen, is referenced in ancient Hindu, Egyptian, Grecian, Roman and other European folklore. But where did the term originate?”
Duhhhhhhh
She literally says that in the first nine minutes
In Reality it was performed in Roman times but the Mother always died and since Caesar was alive people say he probably wasn’t Born that way. But the name of C-Section is inspired by the myth so it’s still Named After him
Shut up
I don't always watch documentaries on Rome but when I do I want to see men reenacting battles in costume armor.
You ever been to a Turkish prison?
If anyone's brutally obsessed with the hardcore Roman Traditional religious meaning of Caesar I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's channel and especially the Fortuna Caesaris video
Thank you. This is the same story i've heard a thousand times. If you like I would highly recommend Dan Carlin's podcast series death throws of the republic. You won't be disappointed
That channel is so underrated and so good. I love it
It was an informative and wonderful historical coverage episode about Gulias Ceasar political, economic ,and social rules circumstances and his assassin by a league's of Senate's conspiracies ....thank you an excellent ( Timeline) channel for sharing this wonderful video...merry Christmas to everyone
Alea iacta est. Caesar dared to be bold where Prigozhin turned back.
Caesar: "Let the dice fly!"
1:01 _”The whole procedure is named after Julius Caesar, the most famous, most notorious of the lot of them.”_
What’s even more notorious is the lack of proper dental care in the United Kingdom. 🇬🇧🦷
@DaRyteJuan: Has this been confirmed ?
@@michaellorusso4912it's not covered by NHS. That's why, especially anything not considered medically required
I love how theres actual dictators in the world today but every comparison of ceaser is with an elected US government official great doc on ceaser though.
Who operated within the confines of a republic.
This is looking at Caesars history and cutting it up to fit a narrative. Not an actual telling of the history. For example, the most important part of context this supposed "history documentary" misses out is the fact that civil war had been raging on and off for 30 years before, and 10 years after the time that this video is covering. The reason for the civil war was that the Republic had ceased to function because of a political deadlock on land and wealth redistribution.
Without that context, Caesar comes across as tyrant who overthrew a functioning democracy, leaving you with a very differnt story that creates an untrue narrive by cherry picking facts.
I believe Dan Carlin said it best in his podcast, it was something to the effect of "You learn more about the political leanings of the person whos telling you about Caesars story and motivations then you learn about Caesars actual motivations." Or something like that.
Excellent
Teacher i readed to book spqr. very good!!!!!.
20:18 you've got me mind blowned that the cesarian was actually name after him.
@historyhittv although I have the same @ with a change in my channel's title.
But now (since the war in Israel has broke out) i am working on how history all really started with Kfar Saba and how the history is related to Israel.
Mainly starting with Exodus when and what God said to Moses through the burning bush.
It is "un verre de vin Blanc" not "une verre ..."
I think it's pretty important for humanity as a whole to survive the occasional Dictatorship. This host had a guest who said it best. The world would've been worse off if Ceasar wasn't born. Can't say that about current dictators like NK's Kim...
The history of Italy Is the envy of the World
The turning from democracy to dictatorship is something to admire?
@@RoxanneM- What you call "dictatorship" brougth decades upon decades of peace and prosperity to EVERYBODY who lived in the empire.
After decades of civil war and unrest, people prospered, got more economical stability and security.
Pax Romana rings a bell?
The Republic did not work anymore - and it was people like Cato who brought it to ruin, not Caesar.
THEY where the people who voted against anything that Caesar wanted - reforms, better laws for governing the provinces, taking care of veterans and giving them what was promised to them.
You know, stuff like caring for common folk too - and not only the nobility and their obsession of keeping Ceasar down. Because they realized that he was a more able and brilliant man than they would ever be. And if there was one thing they could not stand was a man better than them.
They were willing to destroy everything, destroy the lives of hundreds of thousands, to worsen the condition of almost everybody - just to bring Caesar down.
Well, they did not succeed.
And in the end, Augustus established an era of peace and prosperity.
Sure, a lot of later emperors were bad.
Some were decent.
Some were good.
And in the end, the Romen Empire fell as well - after being alive for many many centuries (much longer than our Western states will endure I guess)
But as long as it existed, it was a good thing for the huge majority of the people who lived in it.
After its fall it got very dark in Europe - living standards, economy, wealth, science, art, architecture - everything went downhill for centuries to come.
If increasing the living standard of almost everybody is NOT to be admired - prey tell, what is?
@@RoxanneM- are you French ? Shame for your colonialism
@princepssenatus: I’m Italian 😃!
@@RoxanneM- didn't you watch this documentary? Or what's worse you did watch it and understand nothing?
The great Prof Mary Beard does it again - with her inimitable style and knowledge of the ancient Roman World! She is so watchable!
She’s too much
is this david attenborough’s wife?
Hillary Clinton about Libya, “We came, we saw, he died”.
Your usual presentation format would have been more enjoyable.
Gaio Giulio Cesare, divino e immortale, la sua gloria vivrà per sempre 💪💪💯
Rome was a republic.
Is it just me or does every professional intellectual have Trump living in the their heads rent free 24/7?
Sorry, after an ancient member of the family but NOT after Caius Julius Caesar
Sane old BS ,just a different spin ! 😮
Donald has never read, will never read and can't read. You're wasting your time.
Julius Ceasar is one of the greatest men to have ever lived,fact. Even after his death his legacy lives on.😊👌
THE greatest IMO.
Because he excelled in everything. Not only military related stuff, but his oratory was stunning, his laws were amazing and a lot of it helped Rome thrive for centuries to come. He identifie the problems that Rome plagued and cured at least some of them. He was thorough in every task he did - no matter if it was bringing the calender back in sync and enacting a knew calender that we still use today (with VERY little additions regarding not adding the 29. Feb. every now and then) or if it was catering to the roads that led to Rome.
And all that while fanatically oppposed by people like Cato, who prefered to see the whole world burn than to admit that Casear was so much greater than them.
He did not have a fortune he could rely on, he was not born into a powerful house. Sure, his lineage could be traced back to Venus - but for many decades power was wielded by other families.
And despite all these problems he came up on top, he stabilized a partly failing Rome and laid the foundation of a golden age, an age of prosperity and security for everybody. Pax Romana.
IMO Caesar outshines every other human being that ever lived on this planet.
A Republic not a Democracy.
Thank you Mary Beard!
This lady was a great host
Mary is such a great woman 😘
@skyhigh: Has this been confirmed ?
She is a great presenter.
Scipio Africanus?
He wasn't even better than Hannibal
Maximus, the true commander of the Northern Armies of Rome.

Caesar was killed in the theater of Pompy because there was a fire in the senate and it was under construction. He died directly under a statue of Pompy his biggest rival.
Dal capitolo 17 del libro dell'Apocalisse di Giovanni è possibile apprendere che l'anti Cristo sarà letteralmente uno dei primi cinque imperatori romani . Quale ? Bisogna aspettare ancora un po' ma non troppo .
You keep compairing Trump and Caesar, which makes no sense. They have nothing in common.
Best learn how to defeat your own army Caesar before you actually try to conquer it
Putin
The lady is nice but it was too much of her …
She is a well respected classical scholar!!!!!!
Her teeth are unbearable to look at
Not only overacted but dumbed down to capture the attention of ignorant youth. Mary Beard used to be better than this.😢
I think some person, not only read the Hitler’s letters, but also read about how Julius Cesar governed. He might have read about some others too. What a remarkable coincidence he set out to pardon his friends. His love of military parades. His thirst for revenge and power.
HAIL TRUMP2024
@tomasso: Hey! I voted for Trump! 😃👍
@@michaellorusso4912 ME to plan on voting for him again. Happy New Year.
@@tomasso1468really Bro Are you for real? Ceasar created the West and Trump leaving NATO will destroy the West and give all the power to Russia and China. I don’t Like migrants but NATO is too important for the Western world. If he want to leave he is Not a Patriot he is a traitor of the Western Civilization. Isolationism is the death of America
Trump is a frumpy rich elite joke compared to Cesar. He lost the midterms. He lost his reelection bid. He's declared bankruptcy in failed buisness after buisness. He's destroyed countless small buisnesses by never paying them for the massive construction, maitnence, etc work they did for his failed ventures. He's sick in the head and it's clearly, sadly, transmissable. Worst of all, despite everything, he's still a loser. He loses. That's what he does. You know this. On some level, you must. Yet here you still are, acting as if reality won't hold you accountable for it - because it doesn't seem to hold trump accountable for HIS crimes. But you are not trump. And even trump himself isn't really getting away with it this time.
Take a good look at Rudy Giuliani and ask yourself that if even people of means and respect cN burn through every little bit of their respect, money, integrity and reputation by following trump so stupidly, what about the rest of you?
What about trump makes you think he's worth burning your neighbors house or doing the same to books at a school library?
Brits...
When is it the turn of USA?
You lost me at the liberal comparison of Trump and Caesar.
What about a family member of yours, maybe a parent or grandfather who lived through a dictatorship to help you recognize one? Do you have that? Do you consider yourself a good judge of characters?
@@RoxanneM- Your knowledge of the Roman history is severly lacking. Obviously you do not know anything about living standards and stuff like this.
Spoiler: People do not care if they are governed by one emperor or dictatur (btw, the dictaturship was completly in line with Roman "constitution" - and yes, I obviously know that Rome did not have this. But I guess if I wrote "in line with the mas majorum" you would not understand.) or by a handfull of Patricians.
They care if they can live a safe life without being robbed, assaulted, starving to death and stuff like this.
The Republic managed to provide that for a time - but then it did not work any longer, because Cato and the Optimati (or Boni, the good man) destroyed the Republic.
Then came the Empire and it was a good thing for most people for quite a long time.
@@wedgeantilles8575 mad majorum, is the mass majority. Yes, I do know. Your revised history and ideas is having the country and the world very worried right now. Get help.
pretty sure you need some help since trump lives in your head rent free.
@@RoxanneM- LOL, no, it is not the "mass majority".
There is no direct translation, because it does not exist in English or German.
Roughly it can be translated to "the way things have always been done in the past"
Oh, and btw: Upvoting your own comment is pathetic ;)
Boringgg
and Clodius is the one who started the bread giveaways for votes, Marius did the Circus for votes, you need to learn more, and not call yourself a doctor if you mistake others actions with those of Gaius Julius Caesar.
Sent a tweet to Trump, based.
I don't appreciate your reference of Ceasar to my President.
lmao because biden is trash
Freedom of speech is a beautiful thing.
well you know they're a liberal when they compare everything to trump. it's funny how much he is in their heads 24/7
@@mariakelly90210 It's a cringe worthy comparison.
Insulting to Caesar!
👎🏾
"We came, we saw, he died"
Cackle, Cackle, Cackle.
Hillary Clinton.
This woman is a terrible presenter.
Video starts with woman narrating and in hospital
*clicks dislike*
I prefer my history dictated by a man.
