The nephew & the Second Triumvirate used the fate of Caesar as the reason for their ruthlessness. Marius & Sulla were bloodthirsty, but they didn't get assassinated by ungrateful former supporters allied to spared enemies. As for Cicero's legal authority, it appears that the constitutionality of the Senatus Consultum Ultimum was controversial even at the time, Caesar simply was the most vocal person opposed to it. This was possibly partly motivated by the consideration that the Optimates always used it as a cheat card to "legally" slaughter the Populists that Caesar was a part of when they were winning. It was basically a suspension of the Roman Constitution.

Hey, I was just saying the conspiracy was probably real since Caesar said it totally happened and if it was made up it would be more politically convenient for him to champion Catillina's memory and expose the frame up than mention it as a footnote. I'm not saying Caesar himself cared about process when it was inconvenient to him. Which is honestly probably true for any consul from 95 BC to Augustus's time, Caesar and a few others were just better at getting away with shenanigans (or maybe everyone got away with it and no one wrote it down because they retired and became nobodies).

Debatable as well whether or not the genocide in Gaul he orchestrated - or, for that matter, all the Roman deaths in the civil war he started - was "extrajudicial" or just beyond the scope of Roman criminal law, as opposed to just the rules of war. But he was clearly willing to see a whole lot of people die to get his way in his petty little political dispute.

I guess it's more like the former, but it always surprised me how much influence those 3 had in Roman politics.

And others like Biblius that was bit less important have been mentioned. But oviously these are a little simplyfied.

I think the reason just a few men stand out in the senate in this time period is because after Sulla's reign a lot of prominent and more competent men were killed or taken prisoner, so the senate was 'levelled' in a way and a competent few were able to really take hold of things.

When one of his enemies, maybe Cato suggested this is part of the conspiracy demanded the letter to be read out publicly; the letter turned out to be a love-letter from Servilia, Cato's half-sister.

They should have held the senatorial reunions in the public baths. They were all guys, and probably already spent a good part of the day there. Also, the idea of the fate of Rome being decided in such a place is funny.

You are a dumbass man, swords (weapons overall) and even military uniforms were strictly prohibited in the roman forum.

Max Payne Which was pretty logic, as we all know how it ended when a legion entered in Rome.

this is so amazing, its so great you became active again

Thank you for delievering us history.Nice of you to share knowledge. keep it flowing.

Keep making videos mate there awesome

This has such a new meaning now.

IDk I think the calling out a random senator thing is pretty good retorically. If they are upset if someone who is innocent is called out, but silent for someone else, that does imply the first is guilty but no one would dare say anything either way.

I enjoy your videos so much! simple, pleasant and fun!!! Thanks for the wonderful work

Cicero's movements could be taken as tyrannical in a lot of cases. It's pretty interesting that the senate seems to go along with it but when Cesar made similar moves they were outraged.

then again, there's still a significant difference. Cicero who didn't even become a dictator. Caesar who got to be dictator for life. Cicero who was content with the still-significant honorific of Father of the Fatherland. Caesar whose list of titles rival the Habsburg monarchs'. Cicero's white toga. Caesar's purple robes.

of course i'm not going to just look away at how utterly scuffed the Republic was ever since the murder of the Gracchi brothers, but if there's anyone who could have really restored the Republic, it's Cicero. no matter Caesar's greatness, i deplore him just as much as i deplore Napoleon for exactly the same reasons.

Caesar and Cicero were equally great leaders in their own time. Cicero as a compromiser in a time of great divison, Caesar as a stabiliser after civil war

Your animations are getting better and better, it's fantastic!

Another great historical video!! I wait for these all the time, keep it up!!

the weekend just got better! you are awesome man, keep it up

I find it so strange that tons of people in history have met. It's like they're all characters in a story. Cicero, Mark Antony, Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, etc. etc.

Just watched the new "Finest Hour" video :(

I have always enjoyed history, in particular Roman history. Your channel has filled so many gaps and fulfilled questions I had. You never disappoint, ever. 👍👍

Thank you for the series

Another excellent video. According to what I've read, the full details of the Cataline Conspiracy are rather murky. Your interpretation makes the most sense. Although, we'll never really know what actually happened, given the circumstances

Yes please! Thanks for this lovely video, made my day.

Outstanding! Thank you very much for sharing this information. I am a fan of all of your work.

2:05 that will be the opening statement of my election.

Thank you very much for this video about Cicero he truly was a greatly influential man of the era, along with Caesar, Cato, Pompey, Crasus and Octavian. I assume you have already thought of all of them for this "His Year" series ^^

Every few months I come back and watch all the Roman related content and I love it more every time, unbelievable work

I love your material! Thank you

W8 Cato the younger the absolute conservative is younger than Julius Caesar and Cicero. I thought he was older than them, I got that idea from the tv series ROME

I never really would have considered that Roman political history is just as, if not more, entertaining than Roman military history. I especially love the little facts like how houses were normally open and the jail was a cistern. Great work as always!

This channel is my new favorite.

Love listening to this channel while doing hw! Keep up the good work!

I hope you're doing a video on Sulla next.

Problem is that Sulla and Marius will take multiple videos, just like Caesar. The Marius-Sulla civil war was really bloody whereby when Sulla was out fighting a war, the Marian faction will murdered Sullan supporters inside Rome. And then Sulla wins his war and came back to return the favor to the Marian faction.

6 Caesar supporters went mad over this video.

A good way to prevent getting videos of the same type or theme from appearing in your recommendation list. I do not approve of this method, but guilty of it too - disliked a few shitty compilation videos, never seen them again.

Another video worth watching and worth the wait...thanks

I always love your videos they make my day. Thank you so much for doing this !
