You are wrong. Pompey did exactly the right thing in fleeing Rome. Caesar knew perfectly that occupying Rome was worth nothing. Pompey with his huge and powerful clients in Greece. Asia, Africa and his powerful fleet could easily blockade Rome. Caesar had only one choice : to chase Pompey as quickly as possible if he wanted to avoid the collapse of his army. If Pompey had been wise enough he would have avoided the battle and destroyed Caesar who had zero logistics easily.

Caesar: “We must win or die. Pompeii’s men have other options...” He’s talking about Sun Tzu’s realization of the advantage smaller armies can have when they know they’re being outnumbered. When put on “death ground” where soldiers’ only options are “fight or die”, they undergo this remarkable psychological transformation where they will fight with ALL they have. And the other side that outnumbers them have the option of retreat. Nobody wants to be one of the first ones to die in a battle they’re assured they’ll win. So they don’t fight as hard. Obviously this isn’t always the case. But it DOES happen and HAS happened numerous times throughout history. This battle of Pharsalus is a good example of that. Combined with Caesar’s brilliant tactics and strategy.

@hagamapama

What pompey failed to mention with the whole "single cohort" thing is that the entire job of Casear's outnumbered cavalry was to create enough dust and noise resisting Pompey's cavalry that they wouldn't notice the line of spearmen until they hit them. Caught by surprise by the sudden appearance of the hard counter to Cavalry right in front of them, with no formation because they were in pursuit, no time to do anything but run headlong onto the spearheads, the entire cavalry force broke, freeing Caesar to roll Pompey's line up. It was one of the greatest deceptions in te history of war.

It was satisfying but it was obvious (at least to me) that it was coming. Pacing was off when it didn't need to be as nobody told them they only had to do 7 (& then 6) episodes - they chose that.

The general theory is that Caesar wanted to still preserve the institutions of Rome. It is also important to remember that he was far from the first to go so far in breaking the law, he was just the most successfully famous one to do so.

"That is how Pompey is defeated. That is how the Republic dies." Perfectly delivered line.

I always loved the way this series showed how Pompey had no real business losing to Caesar. Pompey's horse should of broke Caesars calvary and crushed his flank. It just ...didn't.

I presented you with an impossible dilemma and you did only what you thought was honorable, I'm sure." It's so easy to present Ceasar as a war mongering tyrant but some people forget just how graceful and merciful he was to his friends and enemies, so much so that it killed him in the end. He knew that when it came to the Civil war both sides were truly fighting for what they believed in, and didn't look at them as hated enemies but fellow Romans. It reminds me of General Lee's surrender at Appomatox when Grant ordered that no man shout or celebrate for fighting their fellow countrymen.

Caesar was certainly a megalomaniac and did much of what he did with the express purpose of furthering himself. That said, I do think he legitimately pursued power because he was the man to save Rome and make things better for it's people. This is evident in the fact that a lot of the reforms he passed were not particularly flashy nor did much to empower him further, but instead genuinely made Rome more efficient and governable (and ironically less corrupt).

Cato is the reason Caesar was forced to cross the Rubicon. If not for Cato, we wouldn't know of the most influential human to ever live.

I actually like this version of Pompey better, a man dragged into a war which he didn't want, dragged into a war by old men who were the real villians.

A swear to god i'd write season 3 just so I can have Rome on TV again. This was a great series.

I heard HBO is considering doing a remake of I claudius. Hard miniseries to top with a remake only hbo could be the best contender to do it right or better.

I know the soundtrack, I know series, but boy what a combo. Well done!!!!

Toyota agreed, although I feel another one final season to show how the republic settled after the civil war and the start of Augustus reign woulda been great.

Finally part 2!! Blessed orbona!

Fantastic editing. Well done!

RIP Pompey, lol. That ending is legendary.

Lucky me I watched part 1 today and part 2 was released today 😂

Waiting with anticipation for part III!!

This series was superb. It took me years to watch it, didn't start until the pandemic (lol), but wow, was it excellent.

Totally love this SERIES GREAT SHOW.

Now this was a seriously strong series, first class acting, imaging the budget like game of thrones

The casting of this series was high class especially the actor who was Pompey.

Augustus thank you for your videos

"Bumpies Outriders" "The rest are veterans of gold, seizes men" "We must stereo as much of the treasury gold as possible" "True snow does not seem tactically correct" "Said to Rome, tell them Caesar has won" "What should we use to buy Africa's loyalty? See cells?" "We are old men with mother in our shoes" "The lions met here" "Which is perfectly incorrect, you agree?" My Closed Caption is still wrong for me...

HBO's Rome was pretty inaccurate, though it was somewhat fair to a broad, General sense of what happened, it was still pretty inaccurate. The entire debacle that lead to Caesar crossing the Rubicon was the result of a failure of compromise and breakdown of negotiations that lasted for 4 years between 52 and 48 BCE. HBO's Rome makes up an entirely different set of circumstance as to why Caesar did what he did, but they get it all wrong. In fact, Caesar never had any intention of crossing the Rubicon and marching on Rome with a Legion at all.. in fact that was the last thing he wanted to do. To put it simply, which is funny looking at how long this is, the Conservatives in the Roman Senate, who made up the majority of that body, wanted to prosecute Caesar for crimes he committed during his Consulship back in 59 BCE. Mind you, these crimes Caesar committed were in fact crimes, and they were pretty bad, but they didn't deserve the kind of Harsh punishment the Conservatives wanted to put Caesar through. Caesar basically bent Rome's political system to pass land reforms and other reforms that the Poor and working class desperately wanted. What was worse for the Conservatives, and something I don't think they ever entirely wrapped their head around, is that these acts that Caesar did were heavily supported by Rome's poor and working class, and made him immensely popular. But the Conservatives intended to be a harsh on Caesar despite this, and maybe even a little bit because of this. They wanted to throw the book at him, leading to banishment from Rome, or maybe even Death. One way or another, they wanted to Eject Caesar from Rome's Political body entirely, but Caesar couldn't allow this. Caesar had 50,000 soldiers to think about, the legacy of his land Law's and other reform's he passed as Consul. If he lost his legal battle with the Conservatives in Rome's Courts, he'd very likely lose. The problem the Senate had is that Caesar was the Pro-Consul of three provinces, which meant he was Governor of 3 provinces, specifically of Illyria (former Yugoslavia), Transalpine Gaul (France), and Cisalpine Gaul (northern Italy). A Pro-Consul, just like a Consul, was immune from legal prosecution. This meant that the conservatives couldn't touch Caesar legally until his term of Governor had expired, and it was due to expire at the end of the year 49 BCE, the same year he intended to stand for election of Consul for a 2nd time. Another problem is that for someone to run for Consul, they HAD to be in the city of Rome and they HAD to be a private citizen. So Caesar would have had to give up his Pro-Consulship and his Legal Immunity in order to stand for election of Consul. So the Conservatives were trying to work the system to get Caesar to do just that. But Caesar wasn't going to fall for that. Caesars plan was to run for Consul in Absentia, or outside of Rome, and seamlessly transition between Governor to Consul, and the back to Governor again in order to keep his Legal Immunity. This Pissed off the Conservatives, needless to say. What happened at the end of the 4 years is that more level headed Conservatives like Cicero and Pompey decided that it was better to keep Caesar from becoming a tyrant then to try and get him to lose his Legal immunity, Because He Would NEVER Do That. So the Compromise was simple, the Senate would allow Caesar to run for Consul in Absentia, then get another governorship after that, keeping his immunity. In exchange, Caesar would agree to give up 9 of his 10 legions; Caesar with just one Legion under his command made him practically no threat at all. Caesar was ready to accept this deal.. until.. ..A not so level head Conservative named Cato literally blew up negotiations by refusing any deal that did not include Caesar relinquishing his Command's.. A term Caesar would obviously Never accept. When Caesar heard that negotiation failed, he rode to the northern bank of the Rubicon River and ordered the 13th Legion to go there after him. Waiting, the Legion met with Caesar at the river the next day. After a moment, Caesar said "let the die be cast" or something like that, and order the Legion to cross the river. At that moment, Rome entered into a state of Civil War.

All the other qualities of this show notwithstanding, I find myself marvelling at the exquisite sets even today after so many years. Pompey's house... oh man, that is beautiful and very real.
