It's easy to criticize Pompey's indecisiveness from the comfort of our chairs, but we're talking about the man who conquered the east here. Indeed, Pompey the Great would undoubtedly have been known as one of the greatest generals in human history, had he not been overshadowed by Caesar. That caution of his must have been learnt through many years of experience. Imagine how many disasters he may have avoided by not rushing in headfirst into every situation. Had he followed Caesar at Dyrrachium and Caesar had truly laid a trap, we would be criticising Pompey for being too hasty and bull-headed, and getting his army slaughtered by falling for such an "obvious" trick. Let's not forget, either, that the massive risk he took in seeking shelter with the Egyptians later didn't pay off, but instead resulted in his death. Yes, Pompey's caution may have been what cost him the war, but that's just how life is sometimes: you can't predict what will happen in the future; you can only do what seems best at the moment.

He is also said that he got an ARROW OUt OF HIS EYE, with the eye and the ligaments, crushed his own eye and arrow with his foot, and then pretended to surrender, and still killed another pompeian. He was condecorated by Caesar, getting 200.000 sestercios and the primus pilum grade of that cohort. I don't know if the video says it cuz I'm still watching it lol Amazing job as always.

@@KingsandGenerals I hope that you will also cover Vladimir-Suzdal Rus in your videos. Andrey Bogolyubsky was a fascinating person with a lot of interesting military exploits.

i really appreciate being able to see terrain/topography! makes such a difference.

another great video as always! Looking forward to the 1+ hour video containing all Caesar's civil war content just like the Gallic war video

Great Job Kings and Generals, I feel like a little kid looking at how much time on the video is left cause I don't want it to end even with my knowledge of History!

Legends say they're still building walls to this day.

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

Amazing as always! love those Roman wars

I came, I saw, I liked it.

I thought this day would never come

Sometimes losing a battle is what is needed to win to the war. Who knows what would have happened if Pompey actually pursued Ceasar with his full army? Maybe the Empire wouldn't have collapsed and we would all be speaking Latin? But we know the outcome and enjoy seeing the full history of the roman empire. Great video as always!

Good stuff guys . Thank you . Very informative as always :-)

Pompey: Draw your weapon! Caesar (whips out calendar)

The city where this battle took place is called durres located on albania it is a magnificent city full of old architecture like Roman Byzantine and venetian

I just liked this video before even watching it. Now gotta watch and enjoy. Thank you.

Brilliant as always!

15:20 please somebody tell me music name, i think i searched all epidemic sound playlists and coulndt find it

I wonder if these men knew we would still be talking about them two thousand years later.

Been waiting such a long time for this

This is great, i WAS waiting for it Thanks: ) I use this knowledge for a tournament I play called Quiz Bowl.

Wow! Such incredible mind games and strategy from both sides! Makes modern warfare seem like a walk in the park by comparison, but of course it isn't!

Anyone know the name of the soundtrack starting at (rounded) 1:40 ? It sounds amazing

Have you guys found it? I have been looking for it too.

Finally, I’ve been waiting for this.

amasing series thanks

Hey Kings amd generals, what's the music at 15:20?

It seems Pompey is greater when it comes to grand organization of planning and strategy with raw recruits and without any kind of luck and perks.

Yeah, it's clear that Caeser is one of the most frustratingly lucky generals in history. Certainly, an innovative and genius tactician, but Pompey was playing the long game, and playing it way, way better than Caeser.

I really love how the years have gone by, the maps have improved quite a lot.

The war between these 2 rivals is really interesting.. They fought with Honor and show to the world why Rome was and still the mother of all ancient civilizations in History.. Especially the great and super Caesar who prove how skilled he's as a Military leader.. Love him❤️❤️ And a special Thanks to Kings and Generals for covering Roman History... You're the best ❤️❤️

*Minor inconvenience exists * Ceaser : IT'S WALLS TIME

Last time I was this early Labienus was still loyal to Caesar

this youtube channel is amazing

Nice. Cant wait for the next episode.

Centurion Titus Pullo, huh? That's so him.

Pullo! Formation!

Unforgivable for all the Albanian institutions responsible, that the extremely hard to be preserved ruins of the war camps of thid battle near Durrës (Dyrrachium) were destroyed during the 90s in order to build shitty hotels that none needs. We wont forgive, we shouldn't
