I wake up in a house that's too small. Drive a car that's too old. But when Dan Carlin releases a new episode, everything is ok for awhile. I am a simple man, I want history and I want it hardcore.

Perfect timing for me. Just today I started a Civilization 6 map as Trajan on marathon and deity difficulty
This was great. I wish I knew just one person in real life I could talk to about things like this. I can't tell you anything about celebrities or musicians but I can tell you the full history of Rome, the full history of Alexander,the entire history of the Persians etc etc. Would be cool to meet just one person who shares my love for history.

How good is it when you see a new Hardcore History in your feed? Pretty damn good says I.
It's funny, how I think I know this period quite well, and I do, cause I studied Latin and I spend way too much time on this, to dive into it again after school a couple of times, Yet I get a Dan Carlin Version, I still manage to get some new pieces out of the story. Thank you very much.

I read Prof Strauss 's Ten Ceasersg, very thoroughly researched, accurate, objective and although not funny, not dry either, he does manage to give the Caesers a personality, for better or worse. Thus this book must be bought. Thanks for the interview.

Caesar wrote his Will but then changed it a few times before he died. Octavian wasn't necessarily the first choice he wrote in.
Yes can't wait love dan carlins insight I'm.so happy right now pity it's only 108 min tho
Dan; Regarding Julius promoting Octavius as his heir over his son think about if Julius didn't think he would live another ten years then his son at 10.11 would need a regent and Roman culture probably wouldn't accept Cleopatra as either Empress nor regent. So if Cleopatra and their son returned to Egypt they would have a better survival chance as only Egyptian monarchs.. He probably didn't suspect Anthony would hook up with her.

Amazing episode, as always. I credit HBO’s brilliant “Rome” for being somewhat familiar with these events, despite any liberties they must have taken for drama’s sake. Shame that we didn’t see much of Actium (if at all, it’s been a while.) Now I need to go and rewatch that.

With the exception of the opening scene of Lucius Vorenus commanding his unit and pulling Titus Pullo back into the lines, Rome didn't have much action at all. I see it as the one weakness the show had, but I'm okay with the way they tastefully avoided showing it. The show was more about the characters and the politics than the action. Caesar's victory over Pompey was lackluster, I wish I could've seen it, but that would've taken away from one of my favorite moments, where Pompey gradually gives up on the facade of his fake identity and draws out the battlefield to Vorenus. He explained how the battle played out, how he was set up to win. "I didn't seem like we could lose! That's almost always a bad sign." He was happy to be in his element, talking about the old days in the army, showing his battle plans to a younger soldier, but ending it with "and that's how Caesar defeated the Great Pompey Magnus... That's how the Republic died." This goes for the Actium battle, but even more so imo. Maybe I don't feel the need to watch Naval battles as much, but I distinctly remember Antony's monologue at the end. How he was surprised that it wasn't so bad, water still tastes good... His reaction to the battle is more impactful than any violent montage could ever be imo. Fuck what a brilliant show.

@@carterghill Absolutely. Agree on all fronts. I was honestly never sore for want of action while watching the show itself. Only in hindsight (and in considering the contents of this particular podcast) do I wonder what they might have done for an engagement like Actium, had they a larger budget and more time. But, who knows... Plus, the show is one of the best TV has ever seen *as is*. As you say: Learning what failed him at Pharsalus from a completely weary & wary Pompey hits that much harder; where had they played the battle for spectacle, that beautiful character moment (and our imagining of the battle) might have been diminished. Also just now watching the scene where Cleopatra meets Octavian after Actium & Antony’s death, bluffing as well as she can, as she gets strong-armed into returning to Rome as a Triumph-parade-prop, then finally confronted with “Oh and bring the children, *all* of them”… Chilling scene. The dead intensity in Octavian’s eyes as he dresses up the terms of surrender in that thin veil of decorum is something else. Seriously brilliant.
