A small remark: Caesar didn't order Cato to be arrested quite like it's suggested in the video. Cato filibustered the bill for a month before Caesar lost his patience and threatened to have Cato arrested for obstruction. Cato then willingly agreed to be arrested and a large numbers of senators volunteered to be arrested as well. The whole thing seems like an obvious attempt to make Caesar look like a tyrant. Perhaps not a big deal, but from what we know, Caesar didn't act quite so impulsively and it definitely didn't happen on the first day.

Xiclotrode in the case of Ancient Rome they do

One thing to note about Caesar's land reforms is that it didn't address the core reason of why small farms were being bought out by larger ones. Rome's constant foreign wars took manpower away from the agriculture sector and the returning soldiers usually found that they were better fighters than farmers anyways leading to small farms going bankrupt and swathes of people moving into cities. Large plantation owners used the spoils of war to buy up land and used the mass influx of slave labor coming from Roman conquest to run their farms. Essentially, the inequity of wealth in agriculture was something Rome did to itself.

I don't know if you still read comments on videos this old but this is at least the third time I've gone to watch the Rome series you have made. I absolutely love it. You have made something truly special.

Bibulus: I think we should make today a holiday Caesar: Thank you Bibulus, very cool!

To my knowledge, Caesar wasn't asking for the special dispensation of running two years before his year. When Sulla was dictator, one of his aims was to strengthen the patrician class and so he decreed that all patricians could run for office 2 years earlier than normal. This included all offices from quaestor to consul. What Caeser wanted was to run in absentia (as the video said). The senate originally granted this because Caesar argued that what was accorded to Pompei should be accorded to Caesar. With Caesar planning to both triumph and declare his candidacy, the senate waiting until they the deadline for declaring candidacy drew near and then withdrew the special dispensation of Caesar. Caesar then rushed to Rome and declare his candidacy. I could be wrong and ultimately makes little difference; this video was fantastic.

Active Learning (i.e. School) >> Passive Learning (watching television) One thing that KZread has over television, is this comment section where you can read after you watch and even get engaged with others in topics related to what you've all just watched. KZread also notifies you if people reply to your comments, so you can come back to the video and rewatch it, and refresh your memory. The algorithms can also help by suggesting other videos that may be related to the one you just watched, but the more you watch other types of videos, the broader those recommendations will be. Regardless of your method of consumption, your strongest memories will be the ones you continue to revisit and reconsider - whether they were beneficial to you or harmful.

@Крсто Вилцок You need to understand that high school education is supposed to be wholistic. No shit you're not going to learn about the relationship between Caeser and his constituents. If you're taking an AP class or any honors, you're supposed to learn the 10,000 years of human history before diving into anything specific. From a historian's perspective, you have to start large and then work your way down to the details which you WILL get to do if you go to college. Be patient. There's nothing more toxic than saying "I don't remember shit from my leftist public school". It's like watching the World Cup and then complaining your high school soccer team sucks. It's fucking high school...

Could you do a video on the deterioration of the relationship between Caesar and Pompey, leading to the civil war?

Caesar didn’t need a special dispensation from the senate to run for consul that year. Sulla set the rule that patricians are allowed to run for consul 2 years earlier than the normal date.

TBH, I can actually buy Caesar not hearing Bilbo in the crowd, especially with the temporary blindness he recieved that stopped him from seeing Baggins making gestures to stop and veto.

I love how you make the visuals easy to follow along with what you're saying. I honestly learned a lot more watching your video than I would have had simply listening to someone talking about it, or reading it in a book.

So what I'm seeing here is that if the Senate had just met him in the middle when he made his concessions, Caesar probably wouldn't have started down the path of authoritarianism. This guy wants to solve a very real problem with a compromised-yet-sound solution, but they still just went "Fuck that!" and refused to allow it purely on principle, so of course this ambitious guy who wants to get stuff done would come to the conclusion that the Senate should be done away with and replaced with a monarch. It's really fascinating to wonder just what would have happened if they'd just met in the middle instead of obstinately refusing to cooperate and thus "radicalizing" Caesar as being anti-bureaucratic.

Are you sure he wouldn't have turned authoritarian anyway? Or that he wasn't of authoritarian mindset before running for office? Even if Caesar got his way on this bill, there would have been another that went too far, or was too unpopular, or too radical which he would have overreacted to. A single filibuster does not cause someone to spontaneously turn into a tyrant; he had these ambitions already.

@@jpheitman1 He was certainly ambitious well before he started seizing power, no denying that. He also did a lot of thankless things once he got that absolute power that benefitted lots of people that werent himself. I think that yeah, he would have eventually tried to make a move toward absolute power in the long run. Or maybe he would have felt that he didnt need to if the Senate functioned properly. One of the best hypotheticals to explore.

I have mixed feelings about Caesar's consulship. On the one hand: he bent the law to breaking point to get his bills passed. On the other hand: a lot of the bills that he had passed were necessary, and for the greater good. If there's one thing I've learned from the movie Lincoln it's that sometimes you have to break or bend the law to get the right things done.

1 year late: The Conservatives' opposition to nearly all reforms can be attributed to many things, the most obvious being that they often benefited from the old, corrupt systems of the past that got them into their positions of power and didn't want to give them up as well as a bit of 'Ivory Tower Syndrome' as I like to call it where they were so far removed from the plights of the common people that they could ignore or dismiss them with ease. Coupled with those is the age-old human vice of putting off fixing an obvious problem because 'It's worked out alright this long, I'm sure it'll be fine'. Here in New Zealand this goes by the name of a "She'll be right attitude" where one is willing to accept a sub-standard state of affairs instead of improving them due to Apathy, Indifference or sheer laziness.
