    When I watch the work of Panagiotis, I actually sit down with a cup of tea and watch. His work is captivating, bringing these characters to life with film snippets, written information to give an excellent all rounded interpretation of history, what happened and what these people looked like. The imagery closes the lengthy historical gap between these people & us! Not just faceless historical characters we read about, but face to face with them. They were real, they were human beings & Panagiotis restores them to us with such passion and panache. I feel sensations in the stomach, feelings of intimidation, of apprehension, of Joy, knowing that I am 'meeting' these people that once impacted & lived on the same planet that we do. TY so much for your efforts, your knowledge, skill and passion you put into your videos Panagiotis. 👍👏💯❤️

      @@maassrddd My dear, what about Piedmont, Aosta Valley, Liguria, Lombardy…? Celts were here before the Romans arrived. I mean history first! In our peninsula there were different populations, you should know that. Think of Etruscans in Central Italy for instance. Obviously Romans spread along the Empire, especially with latest immigrations from Southern to Northern Italy. I took a dna test and uploaded the data on a site which is called my true ancestry. I got chills. We have been so mistreated and mislabelled for years that we didn’t even know who we actually were at some point. Do it! Believe me. I am 80% Roman, 88% Southern European if you add the percentage of Ancient Greeks (I was expecting it to be higher because my father is from Southern Italy, while my mum is from North-West Italy). Then I got small percentages from 0.5 to 0.1 and they were Illyrians, Gallo-Romans, Franks, Thuringii… all people that lived here, so you see a cake that is mainly Roman and then all teeny tiny of smallest pieces of populations that lived here. I got chills because I knew those populations, I studied them, but I am definitely Italian. No matter where my parents are from. I belong this place.

    To this day ,he is my favorite historical figure .I just love him .He helped me a lot when times were tough. I imagined him slightly different ,lighter hair for some reason.

    Amazing work.
    Looking into the faces & eyes of Caesar who held such power over life & death.
    It quite boggles the mind that under him lay the responsibility of over a million Gall’s being killed & enslaved.
    Yet he looks so ordinary.
    Later his eyes have hardened. He has seen too much.
    That’s brilliantly captured in the later portrayal of Caesar.
    Looking into the eyes of a young Brutus - forever infamous in history as the first to strike & around 60 frenzied Senators involved in the stabbing of Caesar 23 times.
    That several other senators were stabbed in this crazed assassination.
    Marvellous work. The explanations & music that goes with what we are viewing.
    History has always been a great love.
    But now to view these great characters as they must have appeared at the zenith of their powers & historical events.
    It is such a privilege to view.
    These men walked our earth so long ago & we can see how they must have looked in every day life.

      Hi, I'm Italian and I must say that not only the month of July has the name of Caesar, all many months of the year have names of Roman emperors or important people.
      the month of August is so called in honor of Octavian "Augustus" this because the calendar discovered and used by the Romans to count the temple is still used today.
      just as even today, all of Europe and the West use the Roman alphabet, the Roman calendar, Christianity, a religion proclaimed official by Rome, the Roman legal system, etc ... European and Western society was formed thanks to Rome.
      The roots of the west are Greek, but its trunk and branches are Roman.
      Today the West is Rome, that's why Rome will never die, because she forged her eternal glory in the Western world.

    I always wondered about that colloquialism. The Roman Empire already existed, long before Caesar was even born. They controlled vast, ethnically diverse areas already.
    The civil wars of Antony and Octavian resulted in the Principate government under the control of one man.
    But I suppose it's simpler to explain in that sense. An empire needs and "emperor."

    Roma su dominio imperial desde la victoria de escipion rl avricano 200 años sntes de cristo. Para despues venir el mas grande y darle grandeza a roma julio cesar. Vonquisto vio y vencio desde el norte de africa. Hispania las galias. Hoy francia parte de bretaña. Luego vinieron otros hasta un poco mas despues de cristo octaviano vespasiano marco aurelio trajano y adriano. Hubo otro que pudo ser muy grande. Tras la muerte fe cesar. M.antonio al saber que no seria el sucesor optando por su sobrino octaviano. Se volvio rancio rencoroso cosa que no era antes. Murio de mala manera. Suicidsndode.
