This is probably my favorite of all of Caesar's campaigns and one of my favorites campaigns ever. Caesar defeating a large enemy army without ever fighting any major battle is absolutely impressive, and shows how good Caesar actuall was.

To be fair, most pre-modern wars were fought without battles.

Production quality is so high, that watching all the ads without skipping feels like a bargain.

Kudos to Afranius for pushing Caesar’s ingenuity to it’s limits and not giving up so easily. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had these video series. Well done Syntagma 👍

Caesars campaign against Aphraneus in Spain is one of the most fascinating and captivating reads in military history. Such a form of war of manuver in these acient times and the extent of it is just mindblowing.

i sometimes wonder if generals of today could even compare to these guys. When you can just call in a perfectly aimed GPS guided artillery strike or aerial bombing anytime anything gets hard, you don't have to beat the opposition mentally.

I’ve listened to this story told dozens of times in Ceasars war commentaries audiobook. Feels great finally having a visual representation of the story.

i watch K&G, bazbattles, historymarche, invicta, etc and you are just as good as any of them. Keep up the awesome work. these videos are great

I was wondering when you were going to upload again! Epic

This channel is a Jupiter’s gift to us common viewers ☀️ These videos are rare but so good 👍 Quality over quantity is what youtube been lacking recently.

Long time no see! Psychological warfare is the best kind of warfare.

All hail Ceasar. Can you imagine the dross we have as leaders now going on campaign? Ceasar cared about his troops and that is why they were so loyal. He also was intelligent enough to make concessions.

Excellent Work. Well Done! Caesar was vicious in campaign. Once the prey was fixed, he no longer let it escape.

I've seen this story on KZread before, but never with such detail and such clarity as in your three part series. I never even realized before that this entire campaign was fought with basically no major battles at all. Crazy, though, that the Caesarians could take a defeat at the gates of Ilerda and make it seem like a victory because of how fiercely they fought.

From Sun-Tzu to Napoleon, it was said the mark of a great commander was the victory without combat. Napoleon once remarked that he had 'defeated them with marches'.

What a tactical genius Ceasar was! A lost art!

The constant positional battles and maneuvering really highlights the similarity of campaign to chess. The Spanish campaign is so interesting

By far, the best combination of storytelling and animation depicting a battle in Caesar's Civil War. You have outshined even Kings & Generals and HistoryMarche. ⚔️

Excellent, having listened to a many a podcast on Cesar and the History of Rome. Really appreciate the video & look forward to hopefully many a future videos

Oh men this video was so good, keep it going, ur doing great work, a lot of details that others channels misses.

WOW this video is amazing, so fascinating. Caesar had one of the most creative mindsets. But also clever, insightful and thoughtful. Always forward-looking. Very bright and sharp.

Incredible videos, thanks for your work. They remind me of history channel when they actually showed history some 15 years ago

And this is why Ceaser dominates the books of history.

This was honestly a brilliant campaign by both sides. Given their veterancy, the Optimates Hispanic army was probably the best they had. Despite the decisiveness of its ending both sides performed well during the campaign, and it wasn't until the end that things started to turn inexorably in the Populares' favour.

Your channel has the level of perfect teaching material in schools.

well I was waiting for this video since 9 months ago. i literally forgot about it, then I saw the title and went "WAIT. THERES NO WAY" the day is now going 1000% better

great job, keep on doing, I'm a fan of Caesar's tactical licks, please do more of that;) thank you

I found Caesar the man among the greats. Top 5 . He owned and made it. Caesar I got your back!

God the wait was so long. But still very worth it. Best ancient battle analysis channel on youtube

Ceasar was comfortable in the midst of battle. What an absolute tactical genius. The greatest military mind throughout history.

This series was incredibly well done! It was packed full of information and research, animation was awesome, and it was super suspenseful. You told the story in a way that just drew me in and kept me waiting for the next moment. Caesar was so brilliant. The music really added to the suspense, too. You always do a fantastic job, but you really went to the next level with these three videos. Thank you and, again, exceedingly well done! Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

So let me get this straight . . . You make four videos over the course of a year and now say that these things take time (which I'm sure they do), and we now have to wait a year, or longer, for one. Make no mistake mate yours are the finest vids on ancient history on YT but you could help your cause immensely by just putting out the occasional update - and not just for subscribers. Are you still active? Interested? Alive? Talk to us. Cheers!

Wonderful video! I am particularly surprised by the preeminent role of Caesar's auxiliary cavalry to harrass and slow down the Pompeian army. I also wonder if that would have been possible if Romans were more familiar with archery: in that case the harrassment of the cavarly would have been much harder to carry out.

Amazing tactician! I wish your videos were uploaded more often! Thx!
