Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome continues with an episode of the post-Caesar Civil Wars, as we look at what happened after the initial shock of Caesar's assassination. This episode will continue with the aftermath of the battle of Mutina, as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war. The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes.

That's way too one sided. To blame it all on one man shows favouritism towards Octavian, simply because he was the winner in the end. Anthony wasn't the best statesman but to blame the whole civil war on him, when both Cicero and Octavian played the senate and the people to their advantage and the Caesar's murderers were roaming around with the people raging about it, it really wasn't Anthony's fault.
Thank you for a great history lesson .

Hello. You make great videos, you can learn a lot from them. However, I have a question. Are you going to record something about the battles related to the history of Poland (there is really no shortage of interesting topics). For example, the Battle of Klushino (1610) or the Battle of Berestechko (the largest land battle of 17th-century Europe). Regards!
Wonderful
Nice video. My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
Could you guys check out the battle of didgori please. Very interesting and a huge battle.
as usual, great
K&G hits the spot every damn time
Hi Kings and Generals team, a question about the color scheme and legend. I noticed that you color in the portrait backgrounds based on what faction they were a part of. The Second Triumvirate are red, Cassius and Brutus are purple, their allies (Rhascupolis) and subordinates (Murcus and Ahenobarbus) are blue, while Sextus in Sicily is a kind of yellow-brown. I also noticed that the Triumvirate's allies and subordinates are red, and not some complementary color as it is with the other side. I'm curious if I'm reading too much into this or if there is a deeper reasoning to this, particularly with regards to Sextus. Was he part of the same faction as Cassius and Brutus, or was he a third power, independent of both the two major factions? Thank you, and I want to also add that the maps and cartography in your shows are just gorgeous. Nargiz Isayeva and Martin Stamatov do amazing work; perhaps one day they can produce a video on cartography, both historically and how they do it? (Assuming of course they're the ones who do the maps, I'm just looking at the credits.)
I wish you would cover not only Kings or Nations battles but also Dukes, Baron and Count battles, although there shouldn't be much detailed tales and strategy available ressources.
NEXT EPISODE !!!

I´ll do it for free and I'm not even expecting recognition, I'll be glad to contribute, this channel and it's content is wonderful. I could do it now, but I would like to have your approval.

I wonder what happens next. The two sides seem pretty similar so as long as nobody kills themselves or anything crazy like that, this “battle of Philippi” should seemingly be a stalemate.
