I say post character studies than battles, they are oversaturated

One note is that Caesar could pay his debts but specifically took out more money from rich Italian landowners because by accruing the debt he took the steam out of his rivals powerful politically motivated push for debt abolition while simultaneously acquiring a faithful and powerful support base

great vid

Hey, I wanted to say I appreciate the video and it was really well made, but I wanted to clear up some misconceptions. 1, The Gauls had war declared on them because the Gauls that were allied with Rome had other Gauls and Germans crossing over to take over their land not just occupy free forests. 2, The proposal for the triumvirate was not to monopolize power in Rome but rather to stop the deadlocks that kept happening in the senate, I.e the origin of the word filibuster comes from when senators like Cato Uticensis otherwise known as Cato Minoris would waste so much time in the senate that the rulings would have to be moved to the following day when they would get thrown out as they had new business. Bibulus the other consul active during Caesar's first consulship actually filibustered numerous times until not only Caesar's but even Cicero's factions would get upset. 3 the faction thing someone else said, but I wanted to add that there were other gangs like Milo and Pulcher's which would actually kill and threaten. 4, he did not in fact enrich himself with his governorship as most of the loot and slaves he got would be shared with his soldiers. Why else would they follow him across the Rubicon despite being religiously devoted to Rome. Caesar was said to charge out in front of his men so much they would get scared of fighting without him and would run after him to catch up. Also he sent his memoirs and other works back to Rome detailing his success which is why he was allowed to war with Gaul. Cicero even wrote a speech praising him as one of the greatest generals in history, which you can still find today. 5, he was actually famously merciful, he never executed a single enemy leader except Vercingetorix who Roman custom dictated had to be paraded then strangled, (which they did often as in the wars with Africa during Scipio's time). Even Cato and Pompey were killed by someone other than Caesar who was open about forgiving them. The only Gauls he enslaved were Gauls that refused to do peace or committed perfidy as in one case detailed in his Gaullic commentary. 6 He was actually far from the first dictator and was not even the first dictator for life that was Publis Cornelius Sulla Felix. Every dictator before him willingly gave up power, even Sulla the guy who also marched on Rome and also killed innocent people, (Cicero defended him btw, so at least a decent portion of the senate agreed with his methods). 7. Finally he did not die in debt he actually died very wealthy, the borrowing and extravagant spending was actually very typical for an ambitious future politician, in order to climb the cursus honorum people needed a lot of money, and most people that financed him, like Crassus would end up supporting him later. My favorite "fact" about Caesar is that he gave most of his money to the citizens of Rome, gave all his owned property as public parks, and even gave the rest of his money to his nephew Octavius who was without a father, even adopting the kid posthumously giving him respect from Caesars veterans who went on to fight another civil war for Octavius who was very young for a leader at the time. I am not trying to criticize I loved the video and anything to do with history. I liked, subbed, and am looking forward to more content, Caesar is someone I admire so I tend to believe the best about him. But I do want to make clear I put "fact" in quotes earlier cause I know all of this history was written after he died, with the exception of Cicero who only wrote to praise him for his work in Gaul, then celebrate his assasination. Sorry about the long comment and thanks for the content. Also not at all an expert just a nerd who loves history.

great production this is definitely not what i would expect from a creator with less than 50 subs like this is such a high level of production well done

Really good video! All the luck to your channel :D

Ceasar had a way of making his debts everyone's problem. He was so deeply indebted that the men who lent him money wanted to see him succeed otherwise they would lose a tonne of money.

Haven't watched the video yet but Ceasar literally commited a genocide against the Gauls. That's like peak evil behavior. It doesn't get much eviler than that

Super biased, omits the senates corruption that he was fixing, omits that he was a man of the people, exaggerates his gallic conquest

I get that U need to simplify stuff, but saying that the senate had 3 factions and 3 leaders is just playnly wrong.

The roman state on itself at that time was very corrupt as of my knowledge. For example, withholding the land distributions to veterans. Caesar was a populist, whilst Cato and Cicero were pro aristocratic faction. Let's say nothing was black and white, more everyone had their own agendas and Caesar just managed to push it thought with force.

Liked and subscribed 👍🏾 All the best for your channel.

There are some things you bend to fit the narrative. But 100% correct on most things, Caesar was a power hungry man who destroyed a (not so well functioning) democracy for his own gain

Never knew this part of the history.

Keep up the good work , Im a real history nerd and I really liked your video , accurate and well explained

Awesome animation skills! 🎉🎉 Great Job! ❤

Haha these characters are so fun can't wait for the next episode. Great job!
