    I feel like the change from Edward to Caesar was a gradual one, Edward would teach his ragtag tribe that Caesar did this, Caesar would do that until at some point the tribals started calling Edward Caesar. And that would be that.

    It's almost laughable how little Caesar's Legion has in common with its real life historical counterpart. A big one is his refusal to use technology. The Romans spearheaded technological advancement in the Mediterranean World with the Legions constantly adopting new weapons and ways of fighting.

      It was done for a purpose though. The Legion really isn't threatened at a technological level by any faction except the NCR, and clearly the Legion doesn't have an issue takin them on. The restriction on technology for a similar purpose that the Amish use it for - to maintain ideological purity and personal strength. Technology weakens people over time and the Legion is a society built on masculinity and social Darwinism.

      Caesar’s Legion is but that, the legion of a man who named himself Caesar.
      He is a civilized and literate man in an illiterate, uncivilized world; he clearly has leadership qualities, but he isn’t a great man like the leaders and conquerors of Caesar or Alexander.
      He has no historic civilization or culture to back his greatness, he has no aqueducts or great stone monuments; no philosophers or scholars.
      What Caesar is, it is what Hitler and Mohammed are to their respective peoples: people makers, and people motivators. Coming to a distraught or impressionable populace as false prophets, then waging war with their “Muslims” and “Nazis”, these people they’ve created; like the warriors of Caesar’s legion, who abandoned their native cultures and tongues to worship Mars and fight for the glory of a strong man.
      Caesar is no Roman, but he isn’t even a Muslim. The Muslims, when they conquered the lands they did, had the ability to recognize that they stood amongst civilizations and legacies more wise and learned than them, and so they sought to learn about these things.
      Caesar’s people are a sorry people, worshiping Mars, rejecting modern Medicine, and unable to operate moderately advanced medical equipment - that which would save his life. An antique culture next to one with planes and cars, machine guns and artillery, and mass manufacturing.
      Caesar is the birth of a people, not a nation; this only true if after his death his warrior slaves dont return to their native ways, if another strong leader can step in and fill his shoes. If the lesser leaders don’t squabble and tear the legion apart. It can be done, like with the passing of Stalin, but then again the USSR was a proper country.
      If the Legion survives, the leaders after Caesar will have to create the nation with the people Caesar made.

      You’re not entirely wrong but I don’t think Caesar refused to us technology. He did make a weapons deal with the Van Graffs and other advanced tech is used by centurions and higher ranking members of the legion.
      Caesar doesn’t want the tech to be relied upon but he isn’t afraid of using it when needed

    I really wish we got to see more of Caesar's Legion and their faction developed more, they're my favorite faction in the series. I still like them the way they are but i feel a lot of parts about their culture and history feel underdeveloped (and they are according to interviews). There's just so much potential to the way they work, considering they ironically act more like a Steppe horde than the Roman Legions, since they obviously take a couple lessons Caesar deems useful from tribes they conquer, i can see something akin to Mongol siege engineers where they just have a special team of siege engineers from captured tribes with mortars or C4 which they use when sieging settlements.

    They did such an amazing job at writing Caesar as a character
    If you didn't know he's based off of the bad guy from the 1979 movie _Apocalypse Now_ called Colonel Kurtz who found himself in a very similar situation that we, the player see Caesar in
    And just like Caesar, Colonel Kurtz did infact see himself as some kind of "enlightened philosopher" who's methods were brutal yes but they did produce results and he used that to try and justify himself and his cause

    I find the Legion to be so fascinating. Their entire existence being the amalgamation of several now dead tribes to form this collection of tactics and skill sets under one banner, in one way or another one tribe and identity is stripped, only to have it's essence pooled together into a much greater organization.
    If it weren't for the heavy use of slavery and role females, specifically, play within the Legion, I could see them in a better light, but unfortunately they are just way to evil for the sake of having an obvious bad guy.
    On a side note, i've heard that the armor of the 87th tribe is actually referencing the Legion and that the armor was forged specifically to look like Legate armor and bestowed onto a powerful member of the Legion. I like this idea because what is the Legion but a tribe within itself?

      >stripping tribes of their cultural identity
      That is how a great many civilizations formed early on, yes.
      >sexist
      Somewhat, yes. Not at levels unrealistic for civilizations in an actual apocalypse, though. Women aren't as physically strong nor are they as frankly disposable as men are, in regards to combat. All the legion women that actually appear in NV are slaves, as well. The devs have said they regretted not getting to put any actual legion settlements that weren't military camps in game; such were intended to feature non-enslaved women being treated substantially better than the ones who actually made it into the game.
      >Slavery
      Name a successful, large scale civilization from pre-modern times that _didn't_ use that. I'll wait.
      Mind you, there's probably more efficient _and_ egalitarian examples that could be emulated, but an apocalypse would 100% end up with more Caesar's Legions than it would NCRs.

    It seems to be a contradiction in Caesar’s legion in that Caesar was adopted by the blackfoots because he taught them how to use firearms properly and thus gain a technological edge on their rivals, but then the legion would go on to largely abandon guns and technology in favour of more primitive melee based combat.
    I love the idea of Caesar’s legion but it also makes no sense. The romans were epitome of opportunists and pragmatists and succeeded precisely because they would innovate and use technology to their advantage. Caesars legion would be much better based on Sparta or ottoman janissaries imo

      This is what people don’t understand about Caesar’s legion in game. He’s basing his whole society off of the Gallic campaign and trying to emulate Rome itself only AFTER he goes back to the NCR. His whole legion is based off of the Roman military NOT their society. Even then, he’s only using it as an identity to unite his tribe, he doesn’t need it to be exactly like Rome and he’s more following the steps of what made imperial Rome. He’s not even starting from the beginning of Roman history, he’s basing it from Julius and Augustus explicitly.
