Third century crisis
I’m so confused how this Chanel isn’t already blown up, history with great humour and animation. Easily should be among the most popular history Chanels on UA-cam
You must really like perfume.
Well, you've done your part by watching and commenting. Hopefully the algorithm takes notice. Thanks for the kind words.
@@LuinTathren ?
@@connerdalton8887 you spelt channel wrong, and Chanel is a perfume. Still can’t believe this channel hasn’t blown up!
Agreed, this is most likely my favorite place to learn some fun historyv
Important Note - In the Roman Republic, a dictator was more of a "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" position and didn't have the negative connotation it has today. Also, the average term for a Roman dictator was 6 months. Famously, Cincinnatus returned his power after 13 days, being the model dictator.
I fully intended on getting into what a Roman dictator was... and then the video was already 20 minutes. Next time.
@@DrawnofHistory is that the next video then, or …?
To make it even weirder, Roman Emperor tends to be more fluid…as in “some bozo with an army can become one” (see Third Century Crisis and even Byzantine had peasants like Basil and Romanos becoming one).
@@powerist209Bozos who raised themselves from the mud and pig crap of peasantry to the most powerful people in the world.
Even Ancient China with their strict rules of hierarchy and ascension with the mandate of heaven had peasant emperors. Like their greatest emperor ever Liu Bang.
Talk all you want about hereditary right to rule; true power has always sat with the man with the biggest army.
@@josephmatthews7698 Tell that to Liu Bang
8:56 I cannot express to you how much I love this part. I was completely taken off guard by what Caesar sang. It was amazing, i was dying of laughter, I loved it, actual gold. I’m glad I found this channel!
Who knew smash mouth plagiarized Julius Caesar for shrek
Cesar was a man truly ahead of his time they stabbed him because of his amazing poetry and singing
Truly a touching eulogy
Was off guard and😂😂😂😂
Caesar didn't die after his "assasination" by Brutus, Cassius et al. He actually survived, then fled in a boat across the ocean to what we know as the New World where he opened a casino and a successful tomato-and-cheese-on-panem franchise.
I actually already knew this. I saw it on the History channel 😊
Wait I thought it was Augustus who went to the new world and open Cesar’s Palace
I visit his Atlantic City casino often. Beautiful place that has truely stood the test of time. Wouldve have been fascinating to see what AC would have looked like in its founding years, when Caesar established Atlantium
Bread and circus, baby. Bread and circus
You are incorrect. The tomato cheese on panem was an invention by his illegitimate son, also known as “Little Caesar”
Never thought Caesar would recite Apple Bottom Jeans in his eulogy to his aunt Julia.
Julia got a brief shout out in a Marius parade. Now Cornelia...
I love that you drew the legions with Lorica Hamata and Coolus helmets rather than the stereotypical Lorica Segmenta and Gaillia helmet, which weren’t in use yet; its more accurate and it looks much nicer imo
Thanks. I try as best as I can to be accurate between the jokes.
@@DrawnofHistory Well, you do a damn good job! Keep it up!
Omg i didn’t know that a kid Julius Caesar could be so cute.
Not only did Caesar give us Half-Life 3, he gave us the sequel to Fallout New Vegas.
The only thing he didn't give us was a Part 2... :(
The reason that soldiers tended to be more loyal to their generals wasn't because they were allowed to join while poor. It was because the Senate refused to pay beyond the bare minimum, so the onus on making sure the soldiers got more than a glorified laborers wage was on the general.
I'm a woman and I also have no idea what actually happens at women's parties. Alas, your female audience consists of history nerds who weren't invited to parties other than birthday parties because we tend to talk about history too much. My only guess about those parties is that they DON'T want to discuss wars, dictators, and whether or not there was a breeding population of Giraffes for food on the Ancient Roman peninsula.
I'm telling you this channel is criminally underrated. The humour, animation and historical content combine to make this one of the greatest channels there is
Thanks for the high praise
@@DrawnofHistory you're welcome
Come on man! The best i've ever seen!!!!!! You MUST, you MUST make the second part for the love of all that's good please!!! I beg you! Keep up the great work man
Drawnofhistory! Where is the sequel??!?
Parental discretion is advised. 😄
No. Knocked it out of the park with the comedy. All kids should be taught history this way, so that they remember the past, and remember to wash their balls.
It's an important message especially with the cloths being so breezy.
@@WaywardVet I agree with you. Also, I remembered to wash my balls.
When I heard that as a kid, I knew this was gonna be good.
NRO I WATCHED THIS IN SCHOOL.
Don’t you mean how Julius Caesar became *A CONSUL OF ROME?!*
That implies that Bibulus pulled his weight. Consulship of Julius and Caesar, baby!
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!!!
@@akramgimmini8165 I can't wait to get to that part of the story in an upcoming installment.
@@DrawnofHistory Shame on the house of ptolemy for such barbarity, shame.
I HOPE THIS CHANNEL BLOWS UP I LOVE HISTORY AND THIS WILL BE SO ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL
This channel is criminally underrated
This channel is on par with oversimplified. keep going!
This is it lads. Watch this channel fuckingn explode in the next year
16:30 bro used Daniel Bryan’s yes chant in a historically significant setting
🎶 Shawty got low low low low low 🎶 would be great to play while lowering the coffin
That side story about King Nicomedes reminded me about my favorite nickname for Caesar. "Every Woman's Man and Every Man's Woman"
“I don’t wanna bone my mother, I want to bone the world!”
*STARTS HUMPING THE GROUND…TO COMPLETION*
Well, we was known to be quiet insatiable
Oh my lord is that your kid doing the voice acting, I love that so much ❤
Firstly, a lot of those roman names on the "kill list" seemed oddly familiar. Hmmm-
Secondly; My dude, you deserve at least one million subs more. At least! Your quality is insane and I am just waiting for the algorithm to pick you up. I feel like it was sheer luck I found you when I did!
Been a fan since I found your first video roughly a month after it was uploaded. Keep up the fantastic work!
Maybe one or two of them. The others just came from a random Roman name generator because somehow that's a thing. Thanks for watching.
Love the Mr beat guest role 👏👏👏
Is that Mr beats voice 16:07
Really he said oh damn it 15:18
Wheres part 2!!
@DrawnofHistory LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has part two been made? Please post link here
PART 2 WYA
Never laughed this much lol, and I learned some history
I love this channel.
Ha. I wasn't sure if you saw this one
"Talk like a Cicilian Pirate Day" Lol.
I see what you did there with Caesar's poetry
Pt 2 when? Also how are you at just 20k subs? The quality and humor should have netted you at least a couple hundred k by now
Couldn’t help but think of “That’s a technical foullll” from 8 Crazy Nights in the beginning proscription list lol
Good old Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus at it again. We will watch his career with great interest
He's kinda like Randy, Ralphie's little brother in A Christmas Story. He just played dead, it was his only defense.
So in truth, Killing Julius Caesar wasn’t just about jealousy or saving Rome from potential monarchy. It was about Julius Caesar talking sh*t to the senate…That’s an interesting idea.🤔
Vastly oversimplified, he chose a path to power that utilized the power of the masses rather than the oligarchy that was mainly concerned with keeping what they always had.
@@DrawnofHistoryThe more I learn about Caesar, and about his will, where he left money to the poor, and how his policies, laws and public projects were super popular with the people, the more I think Caesar was actually the good guy.
2:34 "Alright..."
I need more videos from this guy
The humor of this channel is severely underrated 😂
you are damn perfect brother please never quit
Cinna ❤️ would love a video on him
If I'm gonna stay in the ancient world, I'm thinking Hannibal
AY YO 5:14
Imagine if Cicero joined.... Oh how Roman history could have changed
10:18 *Julius Caesar running down hallways*
We need more fun UA-cam videos on Marius and Sulla.
These videos are great, i hope you get millions of subsribers and become a big youtube channel
bibilius sounding lot like mr beat
It is him
As a woman myself, I don't know what they do at all girl parties..... I don't hang out with women often cuz they typically jus' talk, dine, or shop. Nothin' wrong with those three but I kinda like to build stuff ye know, or game on the very occasion.
Edit: Oh yeah! Love the video! I'm kinda new to history so ye made things quite easy to digest. I still didn't get a massive chunk of, and I was sorta distracted painting pinecones. But we all gotta start somewhere.
Lol, love seeing Arya's List on the proscriptions list.
Hehehe. You win the prize for first to notice
Oh no where is part 2 😱
was that mr beat as biblious
Yup
MR BEAT IS THAT YOU
My favorite Caesar fact is the rumor that went around that we was cornholed by the king of Bithynia and that Caesar was prepared to take a solum oath that his corn hole remained inviolate until Cicero told him how stupid that would be. 😆
And that no one would have had a problem with it anyways if only he was said to be the top.
@@DrawnofHistory of course, he would lose all his dignitas if he was thought of as a catamite
Part 2??????
Fantastic
Okay this guy is into ASOIAF
This is sooo good😂😂😂
Is there a sequel to this video?
Can't find a part 2, has this been made?
Not yet. One day?
@@DrawnofHistory I look forward to seeing it 🤘
Quick Question?
Which group would you pick?
Optimates of Populares?
(I'd be with the latter, than the former)
I'd be rocking out with the Han Chinese, making that silk road dough.
Fellow child! Whats the activity of the day? hahaha😆
Calling Crassus a self made man is kinda funny considering the way he made he’s money was some of the scummiest shit I’ve ever heard of. He ran a fire fighting company, but if u didn’t sell him your burning property for pennies on the dollar he would just leave and let ur stuff burn down
"..and by campaigning he took out huge loans and bribed everyone he could..." It is nice to see that politics is still the same over 2000 years later.
when is part 2 out
To be honest, I'm not sure. This video surprisingly underperformed and with the knowledge that subsequent parts usually do even less than the first parts, I don't have part 2 on my immediate schedule anymore. These videos are just so labor intensive and time consuming that I would probably need to see some kind of surge before jumping into the second part. It's a shame too.
The biggest Chad on UA-cam playing the one of history's greatest losers ❤
I want Caesar Part Deux badly, but I don't 34k people to help get subbed!
That mumbling voice of kid Caesar is so bad
What was the speech the kids couldnt really understand it
Sulla was fucking TERRIBLE.
Hey drawn of his story will you ever play hoi4???
I barely have time to play RetroBowl on the train
Tywin Lannister, seriously? 😅
Does nobody want to talk about the GoT characters on the list?
I like Mr Beat-lius...
Always good for a cameo.
History teacher here. I don't know how this channel isn't on the same level of viewership as oversimplified. You guys make it fun and easy to understand. It's perfect for high school history students. Keep doing what you're doing.
I second this, a long with the many other comments. How is this channel not bigger? It's so well done. Keep it up DH, you'll get there
I can just hear the class clowns laughing at the innapropriate jokes...
This...attitude that the romans seemed to have to a man just fascinates me. And entire culture of people who were more than willing to piss on every agreement they made, take turns betraying, humiliating and smacking each other and then having the nuts to be surprised when everyone turns on them at the drop of a hat.
Roman republic = CW teen drama
@@DrawnofHistory crap, that is fitting. Though I’m much more willing to watch Roman politics.
It's called politics. Nothing else then Power strategy games.
That eulogy was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.
Father: "We make do with what we have, and what we have matters most."
Gaius: "And what's that?"
Gather: "Love."
Gaius: "I knew it! We're as poor as dogs!"
Gather 😂😂😂
11:56 14:39
Caesar absolutely destroying Cato is the funniest thing here😂
This is one of the best overviews on Caesar I've seen. Sulla etc are far too often overlooked, and everyone keeps saying the entire Roman crisis didn't begin until the first triumvirate!
Roman was coughing up blood for quite sometime before Caesar appeared on the scene.
Surely you have seen Historia Civilis' episodes on Cæsar and the late Roman republic? Not a whole lot of jokes and flash, but a shitload of well researched detailed history!
@@DrawnofHistoryTheir humors needed to be balanced
Remember boys, when Drawn of HIstory gets to 100k subs he will make Caesar Part 2
Thank you! Have been eagerly waiting, the humor you bring into these are on a different level 😂
Glad the jokes and the info hit well
@@DrawnofHistory thank you 🙏
How do you guys not have 1 million subs? Y'all have legit become one of my favourite channels on here 😭
You did your job by watching, subscribing, and commenting. I appreciate it.
For the record, the bit about Caesar and the king of Bythinia is almost certainly anti-Caesarian political propaganda. They depicted him as the submissive partner both because that's the part that was frowned upon in Rome, and also to show put across the idea that he would be submissive to foreign kings.
That said, the apple bottom jeans eulogy bit is spot on and tends to be left out in most accounts. Thanks for that attention to detail!
I just watched all the videos on this channel over the last few days and love it. I wonder when we are getting part to 2 to this one though?
I can't wait for part two. I know these stories well but never tire of hearing them again.
Hope I'm doing them justice
This aged well 😂
For all of Ceaser's scheming and brilliance, for some reason, he held an incredibly naive belief in The Power of Friendship. He dropped the ball when he tried to turn his life into a Shonen Anime.
It reminds me of a Saying from war hammer forty k. " The emperor protects our souls, but having a loaded gun does help put one's mind at ease"
If only caesar had the foresight to go armed. Maybe he would have survived. Then again they probably Paid off the pretorians to allow them to get away with it. Rome was so corrupt.
I want to note that bibilus as consul also had the power to cancel senate meetings if he felt that there were "bad omens". He used this authority every time the senate was due to meet, however everyone ignored it because Julius Caesar, who was Rome's chief priest, said it would be ok. Bibilus wasnt really seen in office until he was due to give his final farewell speech, given when one's term as counsul had ended, and when he was about to speak his speech was vetoed by a tribune of the plebs so he was stripped of basically all dignity at that point.
That’s the best part ever. Lmao 🤣. Soon as he started speaking someone screaming “VETO” lmao 🤣
And that Tribune of the Plebs just so happened to be Clodius.
Wheres part 2? I was so invested 😢
This was history like I've never heard before. Looking forward to the other videos on your channel...!
I'm glad you like my take on it.
Interesting the different way you covered Cicero’s moment in the sun, but love how much you made Cato hate Ceasar’s guts
Got some good Clodius-Cicero stuff coming up
@@DrawnofHistory Lets gooo! I need more animations covering Rome
That eulogy had me crying I've been subbed since the plymouth video this is your best work by far
It was truly one of the best speeches of the ancient world
I like that you showed that Caesar’s captors had their throats slit before he crucified them. Good attention to detail.
Ty I'm not alone on this lol
I read Suetonius just before so I was half-expecting it, nice to see that these details made it in for people in the know, without the need to elaborate on it.
1:28 we are as poor as dogs 😂😂😂
Great video! Child voice actor was fantastic! (Everyone was)
I'll let my mini me know
@@DrawnofHistory
He is so adorable and did an awesome job with some heavy vocabulary wow. How old is he now?
"We're practicing our, uh uh, downhill skiing'. LOL!!!!
The thing that made the rumor "scandalous" wasn't that it was gay, it's that Caesar was said to be... the downhill partner. Rome was all about power.
@@DrawnofHistory, also the "uphill partner" in question was a foreign king, and we all know how Romans feel about kings.
Why are guys so obsessed with learning what we do at all girl parties? we do the same things they do- play video games, watch movie, plot grand scale political conspiracies, bake cookies...
Dang. I want to bake cookies.
