      And yet it seems that nobody, modern or ancient, deem it necessary to question Alexander the Great's campaign of pure brutal slaughter from the Mediterranean coast to India - he is invariably presented and regarded as merely the great General and conqueror. His highly questionable treatment of vanquished peoples are generally overlooked by the same people who damn Caesar to hell for what he did in Gaul, to warrior tribes who would have done the exact same thing to Roman civilians had they been the victors. Funny that nobody ever criticises the twenty thousand Roman civilians murdered in cold blood by the Gauls in what became modern day Orleans at the start of the final Gallic uprising ! I suppose they had it coming to them, as all Romans do in the minds of the Rome haters. I always wonder why such people always seem to love to watch videos about Caesar and the Roman army if they are so hard to stomach ?

      It was also to drive home the fact that his family was wealthy enough to have them hunted down and killed if they didn't keep their end of the bargain....and when he was released, he promptly returned with an army and showed them he wasn't bluffing.
      When Ceaser said "raise it to 50 talons" and his family accepted the offer that was the modern day equivalent of "My Dad is a Mafia Boss"....they should have begged for his forgiveness and put him on the first boat to Rome and run for their lives.

    There's a Jewish Legend that I once heard that stated that during the civil war in Alexandria a local Jew who knew of Ceaser and his fair treatment of Jews convinced the rest of the local Jews to help Ceaser whilst calling their brethren from Judea to come and help them save Caesar, in which many of the Syrian troops where Judean Jews coming to help save Caesar.

Ended up being so absorbed by such insignificant piece of history that I never finished the video.
