In this Epic Moments of Roman History Documentary we examine the amazing life of Julius Caesar. We begin with his upbringing during the end of the Roman Republic and the dictator Sulla who forced young Julius Caesar to flee for his life from the proscriptions. Caesar then joins the Roman army to fight in the Mithridatic Wars before returning to Rome to take up his political career. During this time he travels to asia for studies but is intercepted by pirates. Julius Caesar then survives several weeks of captivity, returning to crucify his captors as he had promised. After this harrowing event, Julius Caesar begins his advance up the cursus honorum. Eventually he enters into an alliance with Pompey and Crassus to form the First Triumvirate. Caesar then becomes Consul in 59 BC and heads off to Gaul the following year.
Julius Caesar now begins one of the most famous chapters of Ancient History by leading the Roman Army in the Gallic Wars. Culminating in the siege of Alesia, the roman general returns home a victor. However much of the senate is opposed to his return which leads to Caesar crossing the Rubicon under arms and starting the Roman civil war. The rest of our documentary on Julius Caesar then follows the major events of this conflict including the battle of Dyrrhachium, the battle of Pharsalus, the battle of Alexandria, the Battle of Thapsus, and the Battle of Munda among many others.
Finally, we conclude the 9 lives of Julius Caesar with his death on the ides of march before the senate. We hope you enjoyed this educational history documentary on Julius Caesar and the Epic Moments in History. For more detailed videos on his career and the Roman Republic I highly recommend Historia Civilis on UA-cam.

@@andreymudik2905 (11) Even in death he lived again with emperor's being known as Caesar along with his adopted son becoming the first emperor
I've seen maps of the circumverlation again the gauls on other channels but they never indicated the presence of rivers! If those were actually there, massive props!!!
It's odd seeing Caesar not being square for once.
Hahahah historia civilis.. one of the best...ever..
while Invicta did an absolutely brilliant job of summarising Ceaser's history, I couldn't help but think of Historia Civilis series and how many things just had to be left out in this video
I love those historia civilis memes.This channel needs more regoniction!
I see you too are a man of culture.
tribune aquila approves of this comment
>tells the pirates to their faces that he will crucify them
>he comes back with a small army and actually does it
*what an absolvte mad lad*
@@Madhattersinjeans Caesar's death was an unironic disaster for Europe, he would have made himself King and avoided the shambolic succession crises that plagued the Empire due its illegitimate basis under Augustus.
@@mostlyholy6301 Octavian was Caesar's heir. If Caesar had become king/emperor,/whatever he'd have passed the title on to Octavian anyway.
@@gaiusjuliuspleaser Caesar would have had ten years at least to continue his reforms and to establish himself as a legitimate king, and when he died and passed his throne to Octavian, he would have done so legitimately, and without the turmoil of the second civil war, nor the ruinous tradition that it is the army who decides who should rule.
@@Madhattersinjeans imagine being butthurt by a 2000 years old politician.
GAIVS JVLIVS CÆSAR is my nigga
He sounds more like a rich kid using his riches to thumb down everyone else.
"Made Dictator for ten years which was soon extended to life." I think you mean shortened
Oof size: Large
Too soon
@@aa-tq7bv how is it too soon its been like more than 200 decades
If you give a man a match he will be warm for a moment, if you light a man on fire he will be warm for the rest of his life. caesar was effectively dictator for the rest of his life no mattrr how short.
@@Mangi-cx5me or 20 centuries.
So he's 54 and charges, alone, in front of his enemies, dodging missiles, to encourage his troops ... and wins. The enemy could probably couldn't see him, hidden behind his massive balls.
He was stabbed in his balls.
with how big those balls are they had to become the first target
@@nonnonexistension3209 well actually they were the last place he was stabbed and the only fatal blow as well
@@herpydepth1204 wasnt the fatal blow in between the ribs?
@@nothisispatrick4644 oh shit was it? Damn now life is just not as funny anymore
fights and survives many wars. dies to a bunch of paranoid politicians in bathrobes.
Lol they weren't paranoid
TV QVOQVE, FILI?!?
SodaPopSD - who then just go ahead and have dictators from then on anyway. They didn’t even save their trashy republic
Hernando Malinche regardless; the people who murdered him in the senate building were hypocrites.
They weren't really paranoid, considering he was openly autocratic.
Caesar: "Shame on House Ptolemy for such barbarity. Shame."
Ptolemy's court: "But you are enemies!"
Caesar: "He was a CONSUL OF ROME!!!!... A consul of Rome..."
"More like frenemies really.
I only wanted him to like me again and stop ganging up with that douche Cato."
The guy was married to Caesars daughter and they both loved her immensely, Julia died giving birth, the child also did not survive, this was basically the end of their already shaky alliance as Julia was the one thing keeping them somewhat unified and not fighting each other.
Such an awesome line and delivery
The Romans ability to build walls quicker than a Minecraft hacker has to the most under appreciated but most baller aspect of the empire, can you image have a wall building race for 17miles that your life depends on winning? Or thinking you've chosen to stay safe inside your walls, only to watch your enemy flip you the bird and pen you in? Bad. Freaking. Ass.
and to think some would argue walls are pointless
well nowadays...
"Walls aren't pointless"
*Artillery exists*
@@neurofiedyamato8763 oh right, because they didn't have trebuchet or catapults back then?
The destruction of catapults can't be compared to those of modern artillery.
Siege weapons back in the day would at most knock out defensive elements of a wall. It wouldn't take them down entirely, so it still in effect serving the purpose of keeping the attackers out.
Modern artillery would demolish even the most powerful walls well within a few days at most.
That's why castles and fortifications were so prominent prior to WW1. During WW1 fortification quickly fell out of favor because of modern artillery.
@@neurofiedyamato8763 The Nazi Flak Towers couldn't be shot down. They couldn't even be blow up with explosives. They are damn near indestructible.
Can we get a video on the wars between Dacia and the Roman Empire? These wars are usually left out even though they are quite interesting.
I approve the motion
Yeah considering it was one of the last major territorial expansions of the Roman Empire, it definitely deserves more attention.
Or a complete series about Trajan
What? Every major history channel on YT has covered them.
@@dyar648 They only had conquered Sarmiszegetusa Regia, the capital where the massive gold mines were ,and a port city. The rest of it was still free Dacia lol. Like 7% was occupied, of Dacia.
Every time I hear "Gaius Julius Caesar" I can't help but remember the big fat orator from the Rome TV series shouting it out while dancing.
*True Roman bread; for true Romans!*
Please do a video on Sulla's Civil War. Julius Caesar's Civil War was like a rematch to that civil war, since he was Marius's nephew and Pompey Magnus was Sulla's lieutenant in that war, as was Crassus.
KTChamberlain .....Sulla showed them all how to do it .......
Yeah what really sucks about The war between Sulla and Marius is that there is hardly any videos on the subject, and people just talk about its affects/what happened after.
He lived a life that no one can ever relive again.
Well, in France at least, Caesar is most well known for his War of Gauls, more than for his assasination ^^
And Asterix of course :p
@help pls We dont even know if Asterix ever existed, historically, there is no proof, written or otherwise.
The menhirs do exist though, thats been proven.
@@ribbitgoesthedoglastnamehe4681 well... we do know 100% that he is a fictional caracter created in the XXth century by Gosciny & Uderzo who never pretended for him to be a historical figure, that may help you about that ^^
@@Cancoillotteman AHA! But it doesnt explain the menhirs!
@KKmies TV program? They made an animated serie in Finland? ^^'
@@krankarvolund7771 there are several live action movies about them actually
No one remembers Caesar's greatest ally and enemy, Labienus. =(
Historia Civilis does. Go watch his videos on Caesar's Gallic Wars and Civil Wars.
Yep he covers labienus quite well compared to others who dont
Labienus is kind of a tragic character. He saved Caesar's ass on more than one occasion, most often as a subordinate, but ultimately as his foe as well, since it was Labienus' botched attack on Caesar's cavalry that led to Pompey's defeat at Pharsalus.
Honestly its kinda his own fault shouldn't have betrayed Caesar
@quotetheraven90 Labienus was, by all accounts, one of the greatest commanders of his time.
"We'll ransom you for 20!"
"Psh. I'm worth 50."
-One of the most GANGSTER moments in history.
Dam you Invicta i have work to do!!!!
Thanks i can now put it off :)
When he raised his own ransom, it was probably so that he could promise the reconning force the pay.
oooh thats pretty clever
Possibly, but it seems to me that he did that so the pirates would consider him more valuble so they dont end him. Especially after mocking them and threatening them.
He pribabvly considered several of these things. When playing 4D chess it's better to actually think in 4D.
It was so they would treat him well.
He was more valuable than 10 "normal" hostages so he was fed well and protected from harm.
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.
Despite many people with their 21st century morals condemning Julius Caesar, for me he was the greatest Roman that ever lived and his murder was a massive tragedy for the Roman world.
Slaughtering people is not considered great by ancient people either
Papagei Taucher
Alexander the Great mainly slaughtered people
@@papageitaucher618
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 ?
@@GlidusFlowers
Exactly, just as I also replied just now !
@@SNP-1999 SNP1999 Who are those Rome haters you are referring to and why do you take offense on Alexander killing people when you consider Caesar the greatest Roman?
I can’t believe you didn’t even mention my boi Labienus, the true commander of the pompeyans at munda.
If only ya boy woulda stuck with Cesar...
@@evanblythe1933 Imagine if he were around after the civil war
@@zachmcclure8814 I'd side with the populari
@@evanblythe1933 Gotta give him credit for being loyal to The Republic and not to one man. Even if it got him killed in the end.
because that piece of traitor shit is not important no no matter how much people praises him saying that he is Ceaser equal it is proven that he is not even a fraction of Ceaser. he is nothing but a piece of traitor shit. fk em.
Caesar is such an interesting person because he is one of the very few historical figures who not only live up to the legends but, I’d argue, actually surpass them. It’s no wonder the guy had such a high opinion of himself
Thought this was going to be about the specific 9 attempts, not a biography. Still good, just not what i was expecting.
I was originally going to just pick 9 but then thought it made more sense to place them in a larger narrative as highlights
Made ya click
But its good quality, I learned some information i didnt know before and it was thrilling to watch
@@alimertc Yea, I liked it too.
Caesar: I will return and crucify you all
Pirates: lol
Caesar: *comes back with an army and crucifies all the pirates
Pirates: *Surprised Pikachu face
15:00 The Romans did trench warfare around 1,962 years before it was cool
His planned campaign into the middle east to fight Parthian empire at the end of March goes largely ignored. Not much is known about it, but it would have changed history.
Or maybe it wouldn’t ... Rome did successfully take Ctesiphon several times without being able to secure its conquests more than a year ... several times
Btw : do you know how many emperors died while either : preparing a campaign against Persia; travelling towards Persia to invade or actually campaigning in Persia? Seems like it happened to one emperor out of two (Trajan; Caracalla; septimus alexander; valentinian; Aurelian; a bunch of other third century crisis emperors nobody remembers; Julian; etc ...) maybe Persian magicians knew what they were doing after all ...
@@washizukanorico But they were no Caesar. And the Sassanid empire was only a couple decades old during Caesar's time, so they'd have been significantly weaker.
Shez Chez actually the Sassanid empire didn’t t exist in Caesar time. Persia was controlled by the Parthian, and would be ruled by them for the next 250 year
@@washizukanorico oh yeah my bad, I thought sassanids came after selucids
I think he could have done it, the key with taking over that region is a swift conquest of everything. As Alexander did, the Parthians did, the Sassanids did and the Arabs after them. They all overpowered the centralised government and quickly conquered the entire thing.
Soldier: caesar they're holed up in a fort what should we do? Caesar: build a fort around the fort.
If you don't mention Caesar falling out of a boat and landing face first in a British beach I'm calling the board of education
"England is ours"
Fairly certain it was an African beach, when he left for Africa the second time (counting Egypt as the first). The men supposedly saw it as a bad omen that Caesar tripped and fell upon stepping ashore, but thinking fast, Caesar hugged the sands of Africa and proclaimed "Africa, I hold you now"
I’ve called it on you- Britain was a contested beach landing, he fell face first in North Africa defeating the remnants of the pompeians under Cato.
@@frenchguitarguy1091 his face is a beach magnet
Agtra boy you know this happened when he landed in Africa not Britain right?
Nobody:
Caesar: i used the walls to destroy the walls
I understood that reference.
Economic inequality
Consolidation of power
Deterioration of political norms
BOY THAT SURE DOES NOT SOUND FAMILIAR
Should that be snowflake politics?
@@Nathan-yk5km You're an idiot.
skullpull 101 hehehe Rome shall never rise again after what comes next.
Dont forget Building walls like a mad lad.
NAPOLEON
In indonesia, The word "Kaisar" literally means Emperor even though we are very far away from Rome.
That means something.
Kaisar in German, Tzar in Russian...etc. many strong and proud modern nations have similar words. It's a small world lol.
Indonesia was colonized by the Dutch, and doubtlessly had its language influenced by some European vocabulary at that point. Did the word Kaisar exist in the Indonesian language before the Dutch arrived? If so, it would be an interesting coincidence.
@@kawadashogo8258 in Dutch the word is keizer which sounds similar to kaiser (german)
Except for one village full of Gauls with a Druid that made powerful potions to help fight off the Romans! Sorry xD I couldn't help but think of Asterix when the Gaul part came on. :D
Feenixfire90 Gaming
haha xd
my childhood
4:13 Heard the words 'Mithridatic Wars', inmediately paused the video and googled it because it sounded interesting. I was not expecting such a detailed explanation of the conflict on Wikipedia, with mentions of kingdoms I had never heard of, like Cappadocia, which prompted me to look into that too. Ended up being so absorbed by such insignificant piece of history that I never finished the video.
hardly insignificat my friend, it basically set up the rule of Rome over Greece and Middle East for centuries (actually a millenia) to come.
Gaius Caesar was no armchair general. He would get equipped and show his retreating soldiers the meaning of bravery.
He would only play soldier, if they were losing, so morale could be restored.
@@j.p.sumando56 Caesar earned the civic crown. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civic_Crown
So while getting equipped in his campaigns might have been for morale, this indicates he was at least fit enough to save an ally.
Well, i bet the senate missed caesar after meeting octavian
Got to say I love your content man! And for someone now starting out with their own channel I now look at it as doubly so! Veni, Vidi, Vici!
Oliver Adams Contrary to popular belief Veni, Vidi, Vici was not a common Roman Saying, but was said by Caesar regarding only one foe. He usually went into great detail of how he dealt with a mofo, but that day, he simply erased a city from the map.
Oliver Adams veni vidi vici is a cringey phrase back then but somehow it sounds very cool now lol
I always thought the wall building strategies in Age of Empires were unrealistic.
Guess I was wrong.
wanted to get some work done myself. i guess that can wait for 9 lifes.
the music was beautiful btw.
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.
Not sure it helps the Jews to share that story ... everyone will keep on with their “Jews are globalist conspirators ready to betray the country they live in” theories ...
@@washizukanorico so ignore that history because it hurts or helps a narrative
George Ptolemy how “historical” is it in the first place?
If it is historical then go ahead ... I feel like it might just be stereotypical but idk ... research is needed I guess ...
rome was the satan of judea, unlikely
@@noah_hill This is afterwards : back then Caesar & Pompee had accepted bribes from Herodes to let him govern Judea in a semi-autonomous way. Occupation came later
Oh the memories
Caesar’s military tactics were incredible.
He did maneuvers his enemy did not expect and that’s why he achieved the ultimate rank of “Total Badass”.
Another brilliant video, well edited with fantastic artwork one of the best history channels on UA-cam so keep smashing it.
Thanks my man! We'll be having more Caesar content going up over the following weeks. Definitely share this video around too as it always helps me out : )
He was determined and fearless to the end...

Hey man I love this series, and I've been watching you since I was 10 years old. I think that makes you part of my childhood, and I even got to play a Rome 2 online battle with you. Please keep making more of this series! I personally think that Hernan Cortes had 9, if not more, situations in which he should/could have died, but I will watch whatever you post. Thank you so much!
I love this video so much
well explained
I was looking forward to this
Very interesting video👍
Good job
Been waiting this one since you teased it, very good. great content great vidz Always cool to watch
Glad you enjoyed it. I've got a ton more follow up episodes to do on Caesar
I love the visuals
Great video. Love teaching Caesar every year. This video will find its way into my lesson...
Glad to hear its been useful. Definitely feel free to use any of the graphics from the video.
Your sound track has rocked me.
This was a good overview of the time as well as of his near death experience. I'd love to see your take on the aftermath
Really like your drawing! Good channel!
this made me cry.
Very good
you make really quality content
I find your documentaries very fascinating and very well done I also like that you especially use the soundtrack from Total War Rome 2. It's a really good soundtrack but it works well with your documentaries keep up the good work I do appreciate the work you put into this.
If there were ever guides on how to make documentaries - this would be it. This was incredibly well done.
loved it
The Darling of Venus is like a cat with 9 lives.
Your strategic maps lead me to victory in Total war Rome & Rome II
6:40 hahaha caesar was such a badass
Awesome video, I consider myself a history buff but there were a few things in here that I has never heard or read about
This channel is so good, between Kings and generals, Invicta, hardcore history and history on fire, who needs school?
I knew of almost each of these events, except for the Battle of Munda - now that is a scene that I'd love to see in motion!
I think its amazing how these ancient armies could put up works in a matter of hours and on such huge scales.
