@Dex4Sure for sure they want us to be ashamed of who we are and our history. If you are a white male that is proud to be in American and you are unapologetic and agree we should put America first they label you a white supremacists or nationalist. It's very effective tactic they use because most people don't want to be labeled that and will not speak up on certain issues in fear of being called a racist. Like if your for legal immigration but against illegal immigration then you will be labeled a racist

Excellent. Accurate, eloquent and succinct. Perfectly narrated. I think this would readily lead viewers in to wanting to learn more about the historical detail.

I have read several books on Caesar and the late Republic, but these animated events in this video really help me understand why and how Caesar fought or won battles in the Civil War. They say a pictures worth a thousand words but each of your videos are worth at least a chapter of a book on Caesar!!

Yeah the visuals added a lot to the video

What is fascinating is how Caesar was considered the "traitor" when basically the whole of mainland Rome sided with him. Pompey had orchastrated one event after another to try and secure his power and make it look like he was not doing it. Caesar was his biggest threat. The people chose Caesar and the rich chose Pompey.

He was considered a traitor because he was illegally deposing the government and marching in the capital. The people liked Caesar because he was a populist and generally gave large amounts of money to the people. He was a traitor to the government and institutions who was loved by the people. Classic populism if you ask me. See Napoleon or Nayib Bukele

If you are marching on them with thousands of men of course the people would side with you. I agree that there is a degree of hypocrisy on the side of the optimates but Caesar definetly was a traitor, there is no denying that.

lol africans/muslims make up less than 2% of the population of Italy. And funnily enough Italy has ALWAYS had africans/arabs in it, even in Roman times. Rome even had African legions, some were even deployed as far north as Roman Britain. So keep blaming Italy being a shithole on the couple of minorities living there if you want. But it wasn't the Africans or Muslims who did shit like stealing bricks from the Great Coliseum to build their houses and letting it go into disrepair.

Hey glad you are back!

Learned so much. Thanks!

Thank you for this masterful overview of Ceasar's actions beyond the Rubicon. I learned a lot with this video and can't say enough good things about this information packed episode! Keep up the great work!

Fantastic animations, clear vocals (for once without howling music in the background) and great detailed information and commentary.

"He sits alone in RAVENNA! With one.... mutinous skeleton of a legion! And he dares to dictate terms to me!?"

Incredible work! Sincerely, one of the best videos of strategy i've ever seen. The changing of maps, the narrator's voice and the own power of history combine into a really great video! Thanks for your work.

My favourite historical format on youtube. Perfect mix between narration and animation.

That was really great, thank you. I have seen just about everythin on KZread about Rome (or so it seems) but this is the first time that I have seen Caesar's march into Rome described in detail. Most videos usually just mention that Pompey fled to Greece and Caesar marched on Rome, and that's it. Great animations, please keep it up.

I stumbled upon your channel today. Awesome animation, spotless narration.....overall perfect presentation. Going to check out your other content. Cheers!

*The Legions approve and appreciate your diligent & lucid work! Carry on! Ave!* ☝👍

Though familiar with the significance of "crossing the Rubicon" since a child reading history books, I never learned about the intricacies and strategies involved in Caesar's consolidation of power in Italy. I love the use of the unit animations to give us a sense of manpower as it ebbed and flowed on either side. Like a table top game with toy soldiers. Great job, and very engaging!

I see a lot of historical videos on youtube and I can without a doubt say that this is one of the best. It is so expertly made it shook me. Well done!

I think Pompeii did not expect the well garrisoned cities to fall so quick without defence. It is very nice to see warfare while avoiding to blunder or sack cities.

@Larsanator

More to the point of your statement than the verbose Legio, This campaign was in Italy after all and the last thing Caesar needed was reports of his plundering to get out and cause rebellion rather than capitulation. You can't very well depend on your soldiers either who are from the regions that are plundered. In a short amount of time he demonstrated to the entirety of Rome's territory he was the best choice to lead. His downfall was his forgiveness. He was genuinely grieved when he got the report that Pompey had been summarily executed in Egypt. He should've done what Sulla and his own Grand Uncle Marius did and proscribe with ordered executions.

Absolutely! On a much grander scale, I've always understood that part of why Persia, Greece then Rome prospered as empires was because they largely left the the captured territories to continue their culture, religion, way of life etc Sharp contrast to say the Mongols or Germanic tribes like the Goths. Who may have swept large areas, but they could never "hold" territory. Interestingly, I think the latter type of 'enemy' is somewhat similar to modern Guerrilla warfare - Vietnam probably being the best example, where a well armed and disciplined force simply can't beat an enemy that doesn't fight on the same terms.

Pompey was a respected general. He was very successful, but he was an offensive commander. All the respect he earned was from attacking, he didn't know how to defend successfully. So when Caesar attacked; Pompey didn't know what to do, the senate basically went "Your good at fighting, go fight Caesar" but he lacked any resources (including soliders) and he was out of his comfort zone. He was basically constantly trying to find a situation where he could attack instead of defend.

Wow this is great! I had no idea about any of this. I just assumed he crossed the Rubicon and a few days later walked into Rome…thanks for this. I was thinking when watching this, imagine what so many in the past such as Patton or Napoleon would have paid for such wonderful technology. My ONLY suggestion would be maybe a 60 second lesson in the beginning from that wonderful narrator explaining a little better what actually led up to the Senate’s anger at Caesar that started all this. Great job, thanks again & I can’t wait to see more of your stuff.

Such a great video! I'd love to see you make some more =)

Keep making more videos. Love the added voice.

It's amazing that we know what Caesar, Pompey, Crassus and the Senate did and said and where they went each day almost 2,100 years ago, but in England 1,300 years ago we're unsure of who was king, how old they were, who were their family, what area they reigned over, what wars took place.
