      Maybe his sexual activities were mostly propaganda by his enemies. As to Cleopatra, if she looked anything like Elizabeth Taylor, no wonder he sired a child with her.(I understand Cleopatra wasn't especially beautiful, but could hold a man's interest by other than superficial beauty.)

    • @OcarinaSapphr-
      @OcarinaSapphr- Рік тому +2

      Not necessarily- just because your swimmers weren't numerous, doesn't mean those that were there weren't potent. There was never _any_ question that Julia wasn't his- Caesar & Cornelia married when they were teenagers; he may never have married again if Cornelia hadn't died- in childbirth.
      What the narrator also failed to mention, in addition to that- was that Caesar came of age during an intensely violent civil war, in his adolescence - he had refused to divorce Cornelia (daughter of Cinna, a political ally of his uncle-by-marriage, Marius- *the* Marius), when Sulla tried to pressure him to.
      Which makes an interesting contrast against, 'nobles' marriages were only political statements, & divorce was no big deal'...
      *Because* of this refusal to divorce the wife he loved, he was deprived of his priestly office (which had restricted the holder from leaving Rome, or from any military involvement or connection), as well as his inheritance - he might have risked death for Sulla's enmity toward _any_ kin to Marius, but powerful & influential maternal relations intervened on his behalf.
      Thanks to his loss of office, as well as his fortune- he had to find another career path; army & politics it was- he left the city to serve under a family friend in Spain...
      What's that meme? 'Congratulations: you played yourself'... Caesar might never have been more than a footnote in history, if not for Sulla's spite.
      There were at least two other rumoured children - many years later, in the Imperial age- at least one Gaulish nobleman alleged he was descended of Caesar's dalliance with one of the many 'Gallic tarts' he had, during his years on campaign - one supposes he had to have gotten lucky at some point, given how high his sex-drive was said to be....
      And there is also the infamous speculation that Brutus was his son (& possibly the reason a brief engagement with Caesar's daughter Julia was ended- don't want to do an accidental incest, after all) - _but_ , if *any* of Servilia's children were his, it was more likely to be the youngest of her daughters, Tertia- by her second husband - there was some well-known joke of the time about it- making a pun on her name, but I can't recall it.
      The fate of Caesarion might have also made people reluctant to own their connection to Caesar...

      No Worries!
      Octavian was young- but he was pretty brutal & unrelenting at crushing dissent - even experienced veterans like Antony were appalled at what Octavian did during the wars against the 'Liberators' (Caesar's assassins). However, he learnt from the reaction to this, when to be openly ruthless- & when to be subtle or magnanimous; though he would go on to have Caesarion killed (as well as Antony's elder son by Fulvia), to prevent any rivals to his legacy from Caesar- he spared Antony's younger children (though Fulvia's younger son would later die too- well after time when Octavian's stage-managed 'generosity' had played its' part)- & Antony's elder daughter, by his sister Octavia, was said to be his favourite niece.
      He took over Caesar's role in caring for Juba, young son of the late King of Numidia- & later installed he & Cleopatra's daughter, Cleopatra Selene, as Rome-friendly rulers of Mauretania (depriving the Senate of another province).
      He married three times- each a political marriage, designed to elevate him (his paternal ancestry was nothing to write home about, which is why his *real* inheritance from Caesar wasn't money & property, but his name; his connection to the Julii, & Caesar's military might)- his third marriage being into the illustrious Claudii, that would create the Julio-Claudian Dynasty...

As the Indians owner he brought in the first African American player to the American League, Larry Doby. However, he's more known for his crazy promotions including getting a 3'7" little person to bat for the Browns and the infamous Disco Demolition Night in Chicago.

    @0:00 - There could be an entire drama film about the assassination of Julius Caesar, starting with the first attacker.

      Though some 60 senators were involved, he had more than 20 wounds- less than half of them were anything serious, & only one was fatal- according to the sources - even back then, you had people who coasted in a team project on other people's efforts...

      @@OcarinaSapphr- Very interesting!
      It is incredible that 60 people were involved.

      Given the Senate was some 300-strong, 60-odd people does not 'universal hatred of Caesar' make - the so-called 'Liberators' over-played their hand, & underestimated their ability to take their world back to what it was; the Average-Gaius in the street wanted peace, the ability to make a living & feed their family- & an end to the civil conflict that they'd been suffering for the better part of a century.
      I do agree that many senators were dependent on Caesar- but he'd learned the hard way, back when he had to form the First Triumvirate- that the Senate couldn't be trusted, & later on- elevating people on his own authority made sense- their support helped push his proposals through, & he didn't have to rely on Crassus' money, or Pompey's military successes- not after he'd gone on to his own greater ones...
      It was a shame that the conspirators never understood what people like Marius, Caesar, & Augustus did- that a republic could rule a city, or even a country- but it could not rule an empire.
      The amount of institutions Caesar & Augustus had to overhaul was immense- the conspirators saw each & every change as a terrible audaciousness that would never benefit them- but the reality is, that most of the changes that were made were beneficial to Rome as a whole...
