this reminds of that scene in the tv show where antony was sick of octavian asking for his money so he jumped across the table and started beating him XDD
Hey all, I was the historian and scriptwriter for this episode, hope you enjoyed it! If you've got any questions or feedback, please do leave them below and I'll do my best to get around to them!
The relationship between the members of this new triumvirate seems to be stronger than the previous one. Looking forward on them ruling the Roman Republic for many years to come.
Antonius , Octavian and Lepidus had no choice but victory or death. Caesar was too generous towards his enemies and they abused this so they had to punish end exterminate every leader who was against Caesar and his successors. But after the victory women(Livia and Cleopatra) came...
Nearly every student from the modern region of East Macedonia and Thrace in Greece has visited the site of the battle, some of us more than once, as the archaelogical site of Philippi is one of the most popular field trip destinations for schools of any grade in the region. The remains of the ancient city and especially the well-preserved theatre are fascinating. Philippi, according to Christian tradition, was also the first city in Greece proper (and Europe) where Paul the Apostle preached (ca 50 AD?) and the site where the first conversion to Christianity in Europe took place, a Greek woman named Lydia. P.S.: A bit funny seeing at 5:33 your hometown popping up in a map of 42 BC, some 1900 years before its foundation. 😄Contemporary towns in its place were Mesembria and Sale.
@@oconnor6456 My P.S. comment referred to Alexandroupoli, erroneously appearing in the map. It would be surreal if it was about Philippi, given the context above.
They had to, they found out in preproduction during season 2 that the 2nd season would be it. Season 2 was supposed to be the Triumvate and season 3 woould be there break up.
the HBO ROME is one of the best tv series made, the plot is so amazing that there is no need for cheap slaughter (or expensive taking in account that it was produced in 2005 and cgi was still poor)
Yeah I am really amazed. Took them one day to build a bridge over a river. Meanwhile in the Philippines took em months to repair a little strip of road.

You guys are the best history channel to do classical history. Even better than History Marche, in my opinion. The amount of history many people including myself have learned from binge-watching your content is crazy. Thank you K&G!
@@sidp5381 You gotta be kidding me? HC goes into so much more depth in combat, and in everything else. And the primary reason that HC is better than K&G is because the latter neglects pretty much everything aside from military history, only giving basic points about the wider circumstances. HC, on the other hand, explains both the circumstances leading to battles, as well as the actual politics of the age. He's just better at giving the actual history
@@Matt-eq1ys Me: *writing almost 3 full episodes about the politics of how Octavian came to power, including events and battles not mentioned in HC, and covering the same period in 5 videos instead of HC's 3* "HC goes into so much more depth in combat, and in everything else" Also me: *cries* I'm just messing btw, I do love HC's work hahaha
This battle is the epitome of absurd luck that Octavian has. Literally nearly loses the battle because he isn't willing to let anyone lead his half of the army, but is saved by two lucky coincidences, what makes Cassius death doubly ironic is that had he realized they were friendly cavalry it probably would have turned the tide and let them win that day.
Today, Philippi is near Kavala (Neapolis). Philippi is an archaeological site of UNESCO. You can see the ancient theater, the ancient city, the museum and the location of the battle
The clouds moving away from each other on the map reveal, a sword flying through the head of a leader who is killed, the sound effects & music, & other little details like that make this 100x times more epic & interesting. Great team you got.
I know there are a lot more famous Roman conflicts and battles but I’ve been dying for this battle break down. I think for the most part we glance over the specifics of the fall of the republic and birth of the empire. Growing up I thought rome always had an emperor. Thank you guys for your hard work, deep research, and mentally digestible content. My love for understanding the human story has grown exponentially thanks to your content.

When is your next 2 hour long video out? They were lifesavers during my night shifts, but I've watched/listened to them all. Now I'm back to silence and brain numbing work.

I dont know we’re to say this so I’ll write it here, your channel is by far one on the best History Channel on internet, however, it would be really great if you could reorganise the playlist, I’ve been watching your channel for years and I still see some old videos I’ve never seen before, for all those who want to binge watch your videos by theme, could you please rearrange the playlist section, even if the series isn’t completed, it would help those who wish to stream old content. Also for all those not aware, the Kings& Generals’s podcast I really good too.
Muito bom que colocaram o áudio em português, mas vou continuar assistindo em inglês para praticar o idioma. De toda forma, vai alcançar um público muito grande, o Brasil ainda carece de bons conteúdos no campo da história e esse é o melhor canal do UA-cam.
There's something about Cassius' death that I find hard to believe. Why would he be so sure about Brutus being defeated? Even if he suspected it, why kill yourself immediately rather than try to confirm your suspicion about who the approaching soldiers were? Had he simply lost his mind at that point?
Because the fear of being captured and paraded by Mark Antony/Octavian is extremely high. Don’t forget that Mark Antony had Cicero’s head and hands displayed in the Roman forum. It would have been torture/and or humiliating to be captured alive.
One wonders what would have happened if the Triumvirate failed at Philippi...would Caesar be remembered the way he is today? Would Brutus and Cassius have destroyed any evidence of Caesar? We can only speculate!
@@judeabeljangnap7241 Probably only Brutus, as they would have turned on eachother rather like Octavius, Lepidius and Antony did. Also, is it Lepidius, we only know of due to a slave's letter found in northern Spain? He was wiped later from Roman history. Unless I am getting confused and it's another lepidius sounding name.
The numbers involved in these civil wars were colossal. Just imagine the power of Rome without the constant infighting. All the power hungry and greedy aristocrats couldn't compromise or keep their paranoia under control. Caesar would have done a lot more good. The additional campaigns would have been so interesting.
It does seems like the aristocrats were being unreasonable. I wouldn’t expect them to give their land to the poor but maybe some open space for some apartments for the law abiding urban poor
@@larrymays4244 There were attempts to reform, but any successful attempt to improve the lot of common people would have given the reformer senator lots of new grateful clients. In the dysfunctional political culture of Late Republic, senators preferred blocking important initiatives to seeing their rivals gain any advantage. Meanwhile the masses grew ever more desperate and volatile, and with this did the paranoia of elite about populism. Dictatorships and triumvirates could to some degree cut through the mess, but it wasn't until Emperor Augustus that functioning government was truly restored.
Additional campaigns would be interesting ? Rape, pillaging and bloodshed follow all military campaigns. Weather in the past or present warfare is never good. It’s an evil necessity for when strong evil men prey upon weak neighbors. Are you glad Russia invaded Ukraine because it’s interesting ? It’s just as delusional to wish for more warfare in the past as it is to wish for war in the present. War is never good, if you ever served you would know that.
Today I visited the archaeological site of Philippi, in Macedonia Greece. It is stunning! Greek, Roman and Byzantine history all at one place, creating an impressive place to visit. A magnificent ancient theater, the agora, the Via Egnatia, the prison of the Apostles Paul and Silas, and the breath taking museum with coins from the eras of Alexander the Great and Caesar and marvelous Greek and Roman statues, such as the statue of Hercules.
I prefer Devin's voice even tho I'm portuguese and thank you thorougly for putting the audio in. May I ask if its a narrator or just an auto generated one with the script? Superb vid as always, keep up the astonishing work!
The way the battles unfolded in day one is quite comical..... I build something, then he build something, then "oh look they're distracted....ATTACK!!!"
amazing video and waited for this and the major clash between the 2 factions of the republic. ashame so many have to do for the political ambitions of a few, I hope this will be the final civil war and Rome can live in peace for a long time...
Wonderful video! The rein of Octavian was considered a successful one but of course it ushered in the permanent death of The Republic and signaled the beginning of the end for Rome as a great power.
Por favor, coloquem mais vídeos em português BR, seja áudio ou legenda, isso ajuda muito. Recomendo alguns vídeos do seu canal para meus alunos, como complemento de aula. Parabéns pelo canal, excelente conteúdo.
@kingsandgenerals I truly love the work you gays make in every video posted and in the history it teaches. Just let me ask a question, when you'll post about the byzantine "reconquista" and the italian wars? It's been months since the last video and both are some of my favourite series yet :(
Cassius: Lead assassin of Caesar and the second great leader of the Pompeyan faction. Cause of Death: Accidentally commits suicide when he thinks the battle is a complete loss instead of a draw. I think the side of these events that really stands out to me is how there are just so many "what if" moments that could have changed so much if they'd gone the other way. Like what if Cassius hadn't killed himself there. Would the battle have gone on longer? Would they have won? Would the Triumviates have suffered greater losses that would have in turn altered what happened next? Could have either Antony or Octavian died?
Nice video. I had no idea Brutus met his end like that. I wonder how different history would've been had Brutus n friends triumphed over Antony and Octavian? My compliments to all those who made this video a reality.
It was inevitable Rome to rule by a dictator(Emperor) because times changed. Senate of Rome was not able to make quick decisions for a problem what was far away from Italy. E. G. It took for Sulla and Lucullus to defeat Milthiades a plenty of years and generated civil war again and again[ok that had continued in the time of Emperors but Imperial burocracy was more effected]. It was a big question what would happened if Octavian gave up in the begging to be Caesar's successor. Mark Anthony became the new dictator? Or Brutus and Cassius win and after some decades new aspirant coming up as a dictator? We never know. That is unhistorical what would happen if...
Hey, I saw you guys working the Time Ghost. I'm pretty apolitical and hands-off this Ukraine thing, but do want to convey how much I appreciate your work from a historical/scientific perspective. Great teams, I'm so thankful to intake your productions.
Man, over and over again episodes like this of cassio's death just make me feel that in ancient warfare, of all the things just matters how much of luck you have. Strategy dumb, tactics dumb, supplies dumb, terrain dumb, luck is king

How about Lepidus? Can he become relevant after the fight is over?
@@KingsandGenerals They were literally Brothers in law
A terrific example of why planning is necessary. They killed Caesar but had no idea what would happen afterwards. Then Cassius panicked. Fascinating.
Yeah man , even in the crisis of third century
Planning is weak within humans. Even today. Despite knowlege of history, writings and diferent sciences awailability.
I think their immediate goal was to stop Rome being ruled by a dictator.

The relationship between the members of this new triumvirate seems to be stronger than the previous one. Looking forward on them ruling the Roman Republic for many years to come.
I hope they're able to maintain good relations with Egypt. I think that's a good alliance right there. Bound to stablilise the region.

They both seem to be able to share power pretty well with each other. They have a Rome over themselves mindset.
