Well we can make history now but very few of us will be remembered people like Jeff Bezos and Elon musk will make history while the average human will fade away glory doesnt come so easily anymore not that it came easily many people paid the ultimate price but at least it was a way to guarantee your name in history now a days you have to do something so extraordinary that it makes you stand out from all the other extraordinary people which lets be honest only 1% of humans today can achieve that

Perhaps, but I would argue that it would entirely depend upon whom was directing & producing it. It would also be nice if, like in the TV show Barbarians, the Romans actually spoke Classical Latin. OR at the very least be cast almost exclusively, if not entirely, by Italians with/without English dubs to target a worldwide audience (or at the very least English subtitles.) Chances of that happening is pretty slim though.

I guess men really were men back then. Incredible story.

Ceasar learned well from his uncle Marius how to bond with his men for which the legions got the nickname "Marius' Mules". Ceasar also shared the hardships of campaigning with his men and was loved in turn by them. Also Ceasar never became "dictator of Rome" and only ever called himself "the first among equals". His adopted son Octavian however took the title of emperor and called himself Ceasar (Augustus) as all subsequent emperors were called.

@WildWombats

Technically, not true. Caesar did become Dictator of Rome, but dictator then doesn't mean what it did now, the only privilege it granted then was that it allowed Caesar to still be a commander while in Rome, which you would otherwise had become a regular citizen the moment you step in Rome. Caesar would give up the title of Dictator within just a few days after everything settled, saying he had no need for it as he was already Consul. So you may be confused in terminology, Caesar was never an Emperor like Augustus, but he was a Dictator like Sulla and a few others before him.

Then there were men like Caesar; with dignity, gravitas and strength. Who lead by example, who would *never* ask their men to do something they themselves wouldn't do. Those were leaders you wanted to follow, because you knew they weren't cowards, and they had your interests at heart as well.

Something that draws my skepticism but also makes me adore Caesar is reading the commentaries and having these reoccurring characters and heros and personalities. I sadly only read of his time in Gaul, really need to read up on his telling of the Civil War

Centurions are usually overlooked. Thank you for this
