@Lucius Cornelius Sulla it’s kinda fun that people have these performative accounts for historical characters, showing up on these history videos. Good luck defending Sulla, though; he was probably the worst of the late republic. It’s arguable that he was so horrible that he made Caesar better, a villain against which to measure in example. But it’s clear that Sulla really didn’t understand the republic, the people, or politics at all. He thought that the problems within the republic could simply be solved by returning powers to the Senatorial families. He didn’t understand that the source of trouble was friction between the classes, and the economic woes of an unequal society. He thought it was just about who got to be in charge of that inequality. It’s a very classically conservative failing, to think that true problems cannot be solved, and the best solution to social problems is making sure that “the people” don’t hold power as a means of exacting their revenge upon the elite.

Brutus: I must kill Caesar to preserve Rome and the Republic Other conspirators: I wanted a thing and Caesar wouldn't give it to me waaaaaahhhhh

What shocks me is Decimus’ participation. In Bello Gallico, you can tell Caesar admires his bravery & roman virtu against the Veneti & later the Massilians in the Civil War. Insane how so many of the conspirators had been his lieutenants and personally connected with him for over a decade. “It is easier to find men who will volunteer to die, than to find those who are willing to endure pain with patience.”

It is also said that Decimus would be the "Brutus" that Caesar probably thought of as a son out of the two. I also found it strange that modern historians say "Motives are hard to pin down but probably wanting more power" when he probably would have known that he was going to benefit more in terms of power during Caesar's rule, and with literally no evidence of how he would gain more from killing Caesar. If I had to make a guess, he probably felt the same pressure that Marcus did since he seemed to take pride in being part of Junii Brutii, keeping it as his name after being adopted by Albinus.

Amazing that we seem to know more about who assassinated Caesar than we do about who killed JFK.

Antony and Caesar doing that crown gig sounds exactly like what happened with Cao Cao. The most powerful men of their respective empires testing the waters to see if their absolute rule would be welcomed or not.

A worthy end to an already legendary series! This is one of the highest-quality historical channels on KZread without ever becoming boring or dry. I can't wait to see how the last civil war of the Roman Republic will be covered, and what hopes there still were for preserving the republican form of government, or if the switch to an imperial-monarchic system was somewhat inevitable due to other factors even if Octavian had lost.

Man:why did u kill Ceaser Brutus:to save the republic Man:what did it cost Brutus:the republic

Damn. Four ways Caesar could have avoided assassination - not attend the Senate meeting due to superstition, be warned by a friend at his home, warned by another friend at the Senate meeting, or read the warning note from another friend - yet all these slipped past. Great vid.

Julius Caesar is definitely one of my favourite historical figures. rest in peace

Caesars life was such a great story that deserves a movie. Even if it’s solely a drama it would be amazing if told right. So much to talk about. From the wars he fought in, his political exploits, conspiracies and the aftermath. Even the part where his wife had predicted his death.

Loved the Byzantine history you are covering, also thats a great thumbnail for Ceasers death,i do hope we will see more history suronding South Slavs and African Empires /Kingdoms in the future.

As I watch this I have to say 2 things. First of all I cannot believe the quality of this video, the animations are absolutely stunning. You have once again outdone yourselves, this is the future of documentation. Second of all, although I always preferred Augustus, in my opinion the best ruler of all time, Caesar is absolutely a once in a century person, having lived alongside him must have been absolutely stunning. He was so beloved and had so much charisma that even today he remains one of the first people people think of when they think of history. Octavian in his own right was immensely powerful from the beginning just for being caesars heir. But Caesar was Caesar.

I heard a theory years ago that postulated that Ceasar knew of the assassination plot. This theory has it that his age and illness had taken such a toll on him that he fear his reputation and all his accomplishments would be undone. So he encouraged the plot subtly. The warnings were ignored because Ceasar wanted this plot to succeed. He planned for either Octavian or Marc Antony to fulfill his plans. It was fascinating to me. It would fit with his political brilliance to me. But I doubt it was true.

That "theory" was put forward by the History Channel, a network also responsible for such educational content as Ancient Aliens. The person who dreamt up that "theory" is also not a historian. It's not to be taken seriously. There is not any single shred of evidence that Caesar believed he was to be assassinated that day, and none of the ancient sources suggest that. Moreover the fact that Caesar was in the midst of planning a very ambitious military campaign, set to kick off in just four days...suggests the opposite. Arrogance & complacency simply got the better of him.

Historically accurate scene. Senator whispering to Caesar: "The chariot merchant down the road claims he's gone insane and thusly offers huge discounts on used Egyptian chariots. Marcus and Decimus' birthdays are soon. Could be a nice gift." Decimus: "What's that senator whispering to Caesar? Shit, they're looking at us. We're so screwed it's not even funny. Our plot was unveiled. Game over, man!" Marcus: "No it's not. Keep it together for fuck's sake. Here, have some more coffee. Where's Cassius Longinus?"

Never, ever show mercy to a psychopath. Never count on their gratitude because they will never show any. Never believe what they say because they tell lies as naturally as they breathe. Whether Cesar was a psychopath himself is probably impossible to tell, but he was clearly surrounded by many and his attempt to appease them with mercy and favors, cost him his life.

Isn’t it ironic how oftentimes the greedy and corrupt justify their actions by cloaking them in justice and liberation. On a side note, imagine how Caesar must have felt when he realized they were making an attempt on his life at first, most of them breathing thanks to him, figuratively or literally. Seeing as how he covered his face before dying, one can imagine that the daggers were not the greatest source of pain in that instance. P.S: Great video, as usual, looking forward to the Civil war.

Caesar will always remain fascinating to students of history. The debates on if he actually cared about the people of Rome will likely be a mystery for ever, and his assassination likely will remain an icon in culture

A tragic death, though one avenged by his majesty, Augustus!

Early in my life knowledge of Caesar was derived from Shakespeare. I learned a lot more about Caesar by reading half dozen ancient sources but I never gave much thought to his assassination. Caesar 's death was certainly tragic made more so because he was murdered by men he trusted and or considered friends.

This was one of the best documentaries on the matter I’ve ever seen! Kudos K&G.

Dudes Your script for the Manscape Ad was INCREDIBLE, hella smooth. Gotta appreciate good marketing when you see it.

Great Video! Caesar's assassination by the so-called "liberators", in my historical analysis, was directly related to Lucius Junius Brutus' oath against the last king of Rome: Tarquinius Superbus (535-509 BC). Caesar was practically the "8th king of Rome". The mission of the Optimates, on the other hand, was to preserve the aristocratic Roman Republic by any means necessary. Their mission, in other words, was to fulfill Brutus' oath, who was the first consul and the founder of the Roman Republic. Brutus' first act after the expulsion of Tarquinius Superbus, according to Livy (Titus Livius), was to bring the people to swear an oath to never allow any man to be king of Rome again: "Omnium primum avidum novae libertatis populum, ne postmodum flecti precibus aut donis regiis posset, iure iurando adegit neminem Romae passuros regnare". The Senate, the aristocracy and the Roman people as a whole, in fact, already imagined Caesar as the 8th king of Rome. In addition to being a Dictator (DICTATOR PERPETVO), Caesar was also IMPERATOR (Commander), had consular authority/imperium (which granted him the total control of the Roman legions), was PONTIFEX MAXIMVS (the overall chief of the Roman state religion), had the title of PATER PATRIAE (father of the nation) and, lastly, Caesar had tribunician powers (tribunicia potestas). Despite being a patrician, Caesar was also Tribune of the plebs (TRIBVNVS PLEBIS), which made Caesar inviolable (sacrosanctitas). As a Tribune of the plebs, Caesar had the right to veto any law within Rome (intercessio). Note: Throughout the history of the Roman Republic, only dictators were exempt from the Tribunes' veto powers. However, Caesar was also a dictator! Caesar had dictatorial, consular and tribunician powers! Caesar, therefore, had unlimited powers (IMPERIVM MAIVS). Nevetheless, Caesar was NOT the first Roman emperor! Caesar did not receive the imperial titles of AVGVSTVS/Σεβαστός ("venerable") or PRINCEPS CIVITATIS ("first citizen"). Caesar may not have been the emperor (AVGVSTVS). However, all emperors used his name as a title. Caesar was not an emperor, but all emperors were Caesars!

The thing is, Livy lived in the Augustan era. Because they are both from antiquity, we think that they are close but actually, it was like someone writing a history of the 16th century with minimal sources today. Such an oath may have never been taken in the first place. We know too little about the kingdom period. Caesar's assassination is probably just about either direct idealism or lust for power or lust for power disguising as idealism.
