The strongest take-away from this series is that Rome was much more interesting before it had emperors, and I appreciate that enormously.

The city itself yes but everywhere else (which barely get attention) became way more interesting bc half the empire was basically self sufficient. It didnt matter who was in charge by the 3rd cenrury. Under some emperors these regional leaders had more power and flex than ever. A lot of interesting historians and traders thrived outside and inside Rome alike. I think you're just focused on propoganda.

The better explanation of Rex Sacrorum is that he was responsible for religious duties of the late kings. Office was established after kings were driven out of the City to make sure that the gods are properly appeased. And its link to the kings was the reason behind the ban on political and military powers. There is even a a term "odium regni" that describes this one of the leading driving forces behind Republic's politics. It means "fear of the kings". It was responsible for this ban but also many ambitious men's deaths that shaped Republic's history including the last one - death of Caesar.

+Leron Benari _When the war against Marcus Antonius and Ptolemaic queen Cleopatra VII Philopator ended with his victory at the Battle of Actium (2 September 31 BCE), Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus found himself in command of some 60 to 70 legio and 900 warships. Seeing as the Roman state could not support such a large military establishment, Octavianus therefore discharged a significant number of legio, reducing the number to 26. (When Galatia was annexed as a provincia in 25 BC, two new legio were added). The loss of three legio under the command of Publius Quinctilius Varus in the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (September 9 CE) left only 25._ _There were thus about 150,000 legionaries, with an equivalent number of auxiliaries. The Imperial Roman Navy had two main bases; Misenum on the Bay of Naples and Ravenna along the Adriatic coast, with smaller flotillas elsewhere, such as the Forum Julii - Gaius Julius Caesar's personal market - located in southern Gaul (modern day France). By the end of Augustus' reign, the Imperial Roman Army numbered some 250,000 men, equally split between 25 legions and 250 units of auxiliaries._

One of the greatest bits about Sulla is that he did a similar move to what Caesar did with becoming PM. He won a grass crown early in his career that gave him an automatic seat in the senate for life. And whenever he entered the senate all the much older, richer senators had to rise and applaud him until he sat down. Like Caesar this earned him renown, but also enmity of the old guard.

I've just discovered your channel. It is the best out there. I appreciate the depth you bring to the subjects. I was never aware that only one consul at a time actually "held fasces", as described in your video, although I've been reading books about the Republic off and on for the last 10 years.

Just the fact the almost all of your videos have as many views as you have subs just shows the awesome quality of work you have and your amazing fan base. Keep it up!

I have listening to Mike Duncans history of Rome and this show compliments what I have learned very well. I love you and this channel a lot, please keep it up! :-) Its always a good day when Civilis uploads a video.

your videos are amazing

Great video, as always. I think It’s worth mentioning that the title of Pontifex Maximus was later adopted by the Roman Catholic Church into the current-day title of Pope (although it does not currently appear on the official list of papal titles). So, while not really true, you could say the Julius Caesar was _technically_ the Pope of his time. Just a little tidbit I enjoy :)

Something worth noting, which I just remembered now, is that Julius Caesar was a Flamen at one point, but was removed by Sulla when he defeated Marius. This allowed Caesar to go in to military and political life.

You really deserve more subs.

That little bit about Caesar seeing the Spears vibrate before his death really struck me. I’m a bit more superstitious than most, so I kinda would like to believe it actually happened. If it did, I wonder what Caesar thought of it? He received so many warnings about his impending doom, if only he listened to them. Would’ve been cool to see what he would’ve done afterwards.

@muradm7748

*I just had a vision* of Cæsar going into his Regia, in his own thoughts on the business of the day. Then suddenly he sees the spears vibrate, and he goes "Quid?" But as he takes a closer look, they stop. He blinks his eyes a few times, but shrugs it off and continues his train of thoughts, for which he was preparing for the next day.

Going to be honest, this series of videos are so interesting... never knew much about roman politics and how rome worked so seeing this.. its just really REALLY facinating

Give us the last vid about caesars assassination! And all about Augustus please :D love your channel

More videos on Roman battles please!

Could you, if you've got time, do a follow up video on how Cesar (and others in similar positions) actually got around to physically doing all their different duties? How can he be in Rome for Pontifex meetings and campaign all over the place? How did they do all the stuff they had to do? Wouldnt some meetings start to overlap or something? What if say, someone has to be in the forum to vote on or stop an important decision but also has to be at an important pontifex meeting? If he's appointed for life, and fighting in a civil war, what does that mean for Rome? Does he stil get to have a say in the morals and religious lawmakings or is that on hold till the civil war is over?

Hey man, can you please do one on Alexander the great's conquest of the Persian empire? I wanna learn more about the battles and how Alexander was so effective. Thanks.
