Thing is... Caesar was right. He started the end of economic abuse that was the lot of the Roman people not within the patrician class. Augustus did even better.
@@ZORGIN Dictatorship had a completely different meaning at that time. Dictator was an official and honored title/office (a temporary "king" with the right to make almost unlimited decisions - such an individual was chosen in difficult times, in danger, in war,... so very often).... Rome during the Republic was: oligarchy, aristocracy, small elements of monarchy, democracy (purely due to elections), then a slave society (like the entire antiquity), sometimes mild anarchy, greater bureaucracy, ochlocracy, civil wars (toward the end), corruption, crime, decay of morals,... The Roman Empire was of course first of all monarchy, then aristocracy , sometimes bureaucracy, under the rule of (some) bad, tyrannical emperors even despotism (THAT is quite close to your view of dictatorship... but not exactly) Plus theocracy (or at least "with a state religion"), political-military administration (important position of the army, cursus honorum etc), expansionist politics and more.
@@ZORGIN "Why does everyone love rome so much lol." "I wasnt talking about the roman republic, I was talking about the roman empire." you did not specify. you're unfit for an in-depth discussion on the matter, I suggest the channel Historia Civilis to get caught up to speed. "Most power in the roman empire was narrowed down to the military and emperor." The romans dating back to the monarchy through the republic and into the empire all believed that good governors would be good generals and good generals be good governors. This was just normal back then. if I were to summarize why I romanticize Rome in a short sentence it'd be to remind you that the fall of Rome marks the beginning of the *dark ages* only ending in the Renaissance which was the rebirth of Antiquity which was largely Greco-Roman. "If the US military decided to take over the US government, they could." suggesting they're not already in control lol. realz aside this is a really simplistic understanding of power and it's nature, "the military" couldn't take over the US government because it's not monolithic, if we're going to assume it were monolithic however then it'd need to defeat an assumed to be monolithic public which it'd always lose to such as in the case of the semi-recent Romanian revolution where a predominantly unorganized and unarmed population defeated their organized military that was armed with APCs and Tanks.
@@TheGreenTaco999 yes the empire fell , but states used the same infrastructure and legal systems that was left over by the Western Roman Empire, this lead to the Franks seizing power in Gaul which lead to Charlemagne, who is credited with leading a Renaissance of his own,because of him so many people became learned in Arts, Architecture, literacy expanded to levels not seen since Rome had been in power .Latin was the language that was taught in schools which helped influence the French,Italian,&German languages , several large scale building projects were constructed in this time , and this was in the 8th century , I'd encourage you to look more into the history of Europe after the fall of Rome. The reason it is called the Dark ages is because it was a dark time Immediately after The western empire fell, so many people were migrating , the Huns had just been repelled so many more people in Central Europe were migrating as well, this explains why we don't have many records of what was going on during this time, except for church records.
This video got me deeply. Caesar will be alway remembered in the heart of those who believe a single man can achieve great things from humble beginnings
Humble?? Caesar was from the bloody Julii descended from the founders of Rome. Yes, by the time he was a man he was poor due to untenable circumstances but he was from a aristocratic family. An interesting tidbit... Caesar was also the pontifus maximus. Essentially what it meant was someone who was in charge of keeping the calendars to be in sync with the seasons. But due to his 8 years in Gaul he had not updated the battle. So when Pompey-Caesar war began and Pompey fled to Greece thinking Caesar will not pursue him in winter. But Caesar knew that calendar was running three months behind and it was actually autumn an ideal time for a naval crossing to Greece. He did and also got Bibulus in the process. A lowly jealous man who was once consul along with Caesar and made life difficult for him earlier. And he did it in a manner that Bibulus reputation will never be recovered to be known anything but a foolish politician who had ni business being on the battlefield.
@@caniblmolstr4503 And? He helped the Plebs, was a hero to the common people of Rome who suffered from a corrupt republic. Perhaps he was not humble, perhaps he wanted too much, but it is rather telling to me anyways, that he was not murdered by the people of Rome. But rather killed by the very corrupt senate and givernment they so feared and despised.
@@awesomeapostolic4492 Caesar's assassination was much like that of Lincoln. Conservatives bitching about a reformer's reforms. Caesar was a reformer of epic consequences. Ppl tend to forget it. He ratified Pompey's conquests and made it available at throwaway prices to Rome's poor. He tried to not let the downtrodden into slavery by again some land reforms. He also made many reforms against corruption as you know Roman governors and tax collectors were one of the most corrupt species of human beings
@@awesomeapostolic4492 do not be a fool he only used the support of the plebs to outmaneuver his rivals, he never cared about the plebs only pretended too, the show captured this feeling well with Anthony
yea man i know what your talking about as a matter of fact the main reason i started joking about Caesar not being Italian and being African and other things is because of insane claims I’ve heard on UA-cam about George Washington Abraham Lincoln and Emperor Nero being black have you heard those claims it’s called radical Afrocentrism it’s about claiming non black historical figures as black
When I read the histories I always imagine Cirian Hinds as Caesar. His performance in this show is one of the most underrated acting performances ever.
Idk about greatest but he shared the exact fate of the Gracchi brothers. So many kings and people were betrayed by rich bastards who forged themselves on unearned rights.

Now technically Caesar broke a lot of rules in his war against the tribes of Gaul and when he marched on Rome, BUT at the time he invaded Gaul it was legal in the sense he justified it by saying the allied tribes requested his help. He just never left after. It was legal and by having Crassus and Pompey back in Rome declaring what he did as legal. They legalized the extraordinary governorship he held and when he crossed the Rubicon it was in “service of saving the state.” Truth is, imo, Caesar had to sacrifice so much in life, blocked at every turn by uncles who both became actual tyrants, political opponents, governors, military commanders, friends and even family all went out of their way to destroy him. Some say it was because of patrician blood and his popularity with the common people which is a dangerous mix to most minds. And in the end he faced the choice of allowing political opponents who were jealous of everything he achieved to crush him and take everything the built, suffered, bleed for away and throw is legacy or as the Roman’s said Dignitas, in the thrash, or fight for his legacy and the people of Rome whom he cared for more then any other thing.

There really needs to be more tv shows and movies on this area and not try and make it like got as other shows have do there own thing they have 1000 years of amazing history to work with
Great video, deserves more views. Why we never see any big budget shows about Rome these days i'll never know. The Punic Wars, Hannibal v Scipio Africanus, Caesar in Gaul to civil war, Augustus, the transition from republic to empire which Star wars obviously ripped off for example. Marcus Aurelius, Caligula, Nero to the fall of the greatest empire in human history.. over 1000 years of content and amazing stories to work with!
celtbhoy1993 Thanks! I totally agree with you. I think the big studios are scared because it could flop after investing millions. That’s why they only go for safe cards like reboots and franchises with big fanbases.
@@TheChill001 well, the history of Rome is the history of the West itself, not to disparage all the other cultures, and tribes that we came from, but Rome rules over all of them as the greates influence on our collective history.
Salve my friend. Great video, I really liked it very much. Thank you for your effort and contribution to not let such a person be forgotten. MARS, EXULTE! MARS, EXULTE! MARS, EXULTE!
You notice how the women in this show always seem to get the men killed? Brutus's mother convinces him to kill ceaser and that leads to his death. Marc anthony falls in love with cleopatra and adopts her customs and gets killed for it.
This is really well done! Thanks for sharing it with me! I also want to make a tribute for Caesar but can never find the right time... Also, Posca needs his video for being the light of the show... but I don’t think I’ll ever get to it...
That's because Caesar was the only one there who had fought on the frontlines and killed. He knew how to fight. IRL he struggled with the first Assassin and would've won if more senators hadn't joined in attacking him, while his allies were restrained and prevented from helping him.
over 2000! years later and EVERYBODY knows his name, a month is named after him, as were all the Roman emperors, German Kaisers and easters Tsars coming in the 2000 years after him. talk about leaving your mark on history.
I like how Vorenus is always the first to chant Caesar’s name. Despite his disagreement with his ambitions/politics, Vorenus knows that Caesar is a great man and he didn’t get to where he is by accident.
Thank you Caesar for all.....for the beautiful month of July, for saving babies with a surgical cut named after you, for giving us many variations of Emperor in different languages Tsar, Kaiser, Cisar etc. , thanks for your salad too :)
I love how the series portraits Brutus as a man completely caught between his love for the Republic and his love for Caesar. Brutus was from the Junii family and really descendant of the man responsible for the revolt the expelled the last king after he learned about the atrocity committed against his family. Also, although the kings were ‘elected’, they abused power uncountable times against the aristocracy. His destiny was sealed when Caesar decided to become a dictator for life.
Great video, would love to see more of these. So guys, out of the two, Rome and GOT, which do you prefer? I prefer Rome, I've watched both shows but I don't want to watch GOT again, once is enough whereas Rome, I've watched it a few times already and plan to watch it again in the future, it feels to me at least that Rome is a show you can keep watching over and over whereas I felt that GOT started to get really stall near the end.
Paul Aiello Tough question! Season 1-3 or 4 were perfect IMO. I loved every moment of it. Rome is great and would have outclassed GoT if they had the same budget. Just imagine season 1 with all the great battles we missed out on!
@@GameLorePage Problem is that Rome had a massive budget for the time, in fact I think it was the most expensive show done at the time and the reason it was cancled was because of the cost. GOT happened years later so cost were lower, at least to get the ball rolling. Anyway, it would be interesting if they rebooted Rome with today's tech because they likely can do it a lot cheaper now whiles giving us the real battles where they skipped over in Rome because of the cost. The problem will be is the cast, I think they got lucky with the cast they got for Rome, so many of them just gelled together and that isn't easy to pull off, so even if they did reboot it, getting the cast to be as likeable as the original won't be an easy task.
GOT was ruined by the end seasons, if you read the books too you can tell why as they deviated from them so much. Rome is just timeless, watched it probably 10-20 times over the years, hopefully in the future someone either does a rerun or looks at other parts of Roman history. A drama documentary of the punic wars would be awesome.
@@Balrokenxxx That's probably because the book ended before the last session so they had nothing to go off and had to invent their own story, clearly they got it all wrong. Even with the early sessions of GOT, I still prefer Rome, GOT is good but Rome has it's own charm where I can keep watching it over and over again, GOT is a once only watch for me. As for Rome, I would love if we got a Rome like series, each series had 20 episodes and it went on for like 10 series going through all the different periods in Roman history and being as accurate to real life history as we know off, too many times they focus on big events but Roman history is so rich and long-lasting, I would love to see more of it.
RDR2 Lore I am the same got season 1 - 4 especially 3 and 4 are some of the best tv out there and there is a lot more battle scenes but Rome just dose them more realistic. But I can watch Rome so much
I understand only to well now, what I could not understand back then when I read the books and watched the series and played the game Rome . Betrayal is a Great Mentor and teacher. Learning is testable Loving. Save a man's life and make a frenemy.
Not only did we miss more season of this all time great show we missed the window to do it properly. they dont do it like they used to. Game Of Thrones season 1-4 was the last of the great ERA before everything has become samey
Roma fell? When? Tell me, don't you see the roads we walk on? Tell me, don't you talk a language as similar to Latin as you are similar to your parents? Tell me, don't you feel an invisible feeling watching these statues two millennials old and still just as beautiful as the day the marble was taken from the heart of the Earth? Tell me, aren't you...Roman?
I haaaaaaaaaaaaaated Brutus' mother in this show. She was great before Caesar ditched lmao but afterwards she became a sorceress or witch of some sort.
Caesar just got too cocky towards the end. He created so many enemies that absolutely hated him then kept them around and allowed them to stay in power lol
He wasn’t cocky you don’t understand. Would you say Jesus was cocky for keeping Judas at his side even though he knew what it was to come? Same Caesar had his motivations to do what he did
That wasn’t his thinking, and his plan was pretty good. if you keep around the people you defeated they ever try to rise up and attack you again you have a great reason to start a dictatorship for life. He just thought two little of the senators themselves. and he’s usually with his armies so he thought nothing of it.
Sometimes when republics lose their way from the ideals they held when they were founded and fall into corruption, party squabbles some want a great man to take the reins. The question will always be should we allow them?
It's Gaius Julius Caesar IV. The name is pronounced Kazer and not Seezer. He was assassinated by a plot of the Vestal Virgins to steal his money and his name. He still has blood descendants and I am one of them.
It isnt kazer, google translate got it wrong, it’s more like the Italian version, chesale. Vici for i conquered is said vichi so why would it sound like a k for ceasar, makes no sense man.
The best thing about Rome compared to fantasy is this shit for the most part actually happened. It really makes you wonder. . . most of us could be speaking modern Latin right now and be worshiping Jupiter Maximus and Mars.
They are not soldiers, they are Lictors. A Lictor was a Roman civil servant who was an attendant and bodyguard to a magistrate who held imperium. They carried a Fasce, which was an axe bound by wooden rods. This is where the symbol of Mussolini’s Fascists came from.
Thing is... Caesar was right. He started the end of economic abuse that was the lot of the Roman people not within the patrician class. Augustus did even better.
Men of Caesar's stature occur once in a millenium. But sometimes, the miraculous happens and they occur not only once, but twice.

There really needs to be more tv shows and movies on this area and not try and make it like got as other shows have do there own thing they have 1000 years of amazing history to work with
More than that if you take into account ALL the empire and not just the Western half.
Cias thats what i mean the western was about 500 years
Great video, deserves more views. Why we never see any big budget shows about Rome these days i'll never know. The Punic Wars, Hannibal v Scipio Africanus, Caesar in Gaul to civil war, Augustus, the transition from republic to empire which Star wars obviously ripped off for example. Marcus Aurelius, Caligula, Nero to the fall of the greatest empire in human history.. over 1000 years of content and amazing stories to work with!
celtbhoy1993 Thanks! I totally agree with you. I think the big studios are scared because it could flop after investing millions. That’s why they only go for safe cards like reboots and franchises with big fanbases.
@@GameLorePage Looks at all the people fascinated by rome... big enough fanbase I reckon xD
The Greco Roman Wars, or Trajan's millitary campaigns.
Plenty of historical fiction
@@TheChill001 well, the history of Rome is the history of the West itself, not to disparage all the other cultures, and tribes that we came from, but Rome rules over all of them as the greates influence on our collective history.

Salve my friend. Great video, I really liked it very much. Thank you for your effort and contribution to not let such a person be forgotten.

Salve Lucius! "Creating is the essence of life" as a great man once said! :)
Salve Lucius, why did you kill your wife
Glory be upon Mars!

Julius... A real KING OF FOME... in everything, expect the tittle
Forever grateful for this MASTERPIECE!
You notice how the women in this show always seem to get the men killed? Brutus's mother convinces him to kill ceaser and that leads to his death. Marc anthony falls in love with cleopatra and adopts her customs and gets killed for it.
They pull the strings behind the curtains
women stay getting men killed where u been at ben?
And now 2024 nothing changes
This is really well done! Thanks for sharing it with me!
I also want to make a tribute for Caesar but can never find the right time... Also, Posca needs his video for being the light of the show... but I don’t think I’ll ever get to it...
Thank you! Posca is great, a real pragmatic. I would like to make one on Marc Anthony too, so many cool quotes and Purefoy is brilliant!
I watch your Augustus tribute at least once daily! Would love one for Caesar
A new Roman Series must be sought out!
FOR THE GLORYS Of ROME
Of the 23 wounds received by Caesar, only one was lethal. All other were little more than a scratch.
That's because Caesar was the only one there who had fought on the frontlines and killed. He knew how to fight. IRL he struggled with the first Assassin and would've won if more senators hadn't joined in attacking him, while his allies were restrained and prevented from helping him.
Loved this show. We want more!💪👊😎
over 2000! years later and EVERYBODY knows his name, a month is named after him, as were all the Roman emperors, German Kaisers and easters Tsars coming in the 2000 years after him.
talk about leaving your mark on history.
I like how Vorenus is always the first to chant Caesar’s name. Despite his disagreement with his ambitions/politics, Vorenus knows that Caesar is a great man and he didn’t get to where he is by accident.
Thank you Caesar for all.....for the beautiful month of July, for saving babies with a surgical cut named after you, for giving us many variations of Emperor in different languages Tsar, Kaiser, Cisar etc. , thanks for your salad too :)
Also perhaps to seize caesar? Caesars seizures?
And also his pizza franchise is very good too
The salute you do when you see someone you know on the street, lifting your hand, comes from the Romans and Caesar
Ciaran Hinds is unmissable on this character. What an aura as Julius Caesar...
great tribute
Greatest conversion
I love how the series portraits Brutus as a man completely caught between his love for the Republic and his love for Caesar. Brutus was from the Junii family and really descendant of the man responsible for the revolt the expelled the last king after he learned about the atrocity committed against his family. Also, although the kings were ‘elected’, they abused power uncountable times against the aristocracy.
His destiny was sealed when Caesar decided to become a dictator for life.
Murdered by those he called his friends...
Julio Claudians , one of the great houses to ever exist . Ruled Rome for 100 years .
Brutus: Bbut, he was an enemy of the Republ-
Me: *HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME! A Consul. Of Rome.*
Why has a series as good as this one never appeared again?
Oh Caesar 😢 look the way he died 💔
"Even you, Brutus?"
Great video, would love to see more of these.
So guys, out of the two, Rome and GOT, which do you prefer? I prefer Rome, I've watched both shows but I don't want to watch GOT again, once is enough whereas Rome, I've watched it a few times already and plan to watch it again in the future, it feels to me at least that Rome is a show you can keep watching over and over whereas I felt that GOT started to get really stall near the end.
Paul Aiello Tough question! Season 1-3 or 4 were perfect IMO. I loved every moment of it. Rome is great and would have outclassed GoT if they had the same budget. Just imagine season 1 with all the great battles we missed out on!
@@GameLorePage Problem is that Rome had a massive budget for the time, in fact I think it was the most expensive show done at the time and the reason it was cancled was because of the cost.
GOT happened years later so cost were lower, at least to get the ball rolling.
Anyway, it would be interesting if they rebooted Rome with today's tech because they likely can do it a lot cheaper now whiles giving us the real battles where they skipped over in Rome because of the cost.
The problem will be is the cast, I think they got lucky with the cast they got for Rome, so many of them just gelled together and that isn't easy to pull off, so even if they did reboot it, getting the cast to be as likeable as the original won't be an easy task.
GOT was ruined by the end seasons, if you read the books too you can tell why as they deviated from them so much. Rome is just timeless, watched it probably 10-20 times over the years, hopefully in the future someone either does a rerun or looks at other parts of Roman history. A drama documentary of the punic wars would be awesome.
@@Balrokenxxx That's probably because the book ended before the last session so they had nothing to go off and had to invent their own story, clearly they got it all wrong.
Even with the early sessions of GOT, I still prefer Rome, GOT is good but Rome has it's own charm where I can keep watching it over and over again, GOT is a once only watch for me.
As for Rome, I would love if we got a Rome like series, each series had 20 episodes and it went on for like 10 series going through all the different periods in Roman history and being as accurate to real life history as we know off, too many times they focus on big events but Roman history is so rich and long-lasting, I would love to see more of it.
RDR2 Lore I am the same got season 1 - 4 especially 3 and 4 are some of the best tv out there and there is a lot more battle scenes but Rome just dose them more realistic. But I can watch Rome so much
Virgin senators vs chad Gaivs Jvlivs Caesar
Great editing. Thanks for making this video. You did a great job with it.
Thanks!
"Let this be the end of division and strife" would never be realised
some dogs for one Lion.
I miss this awesome series
Ave Július
Heil Caesar
Avé César !!!
Long live General Gaius Julius Ceasar!
Imagine half of europe using your name for the word emperor itself. keizer, car, kaiser, csar etc
You forgot the Turks
Gaio Giulio Cesare un dio tra gli uomini, la sua gloria immortale vivrà per sempre 💪💯
Vrai, un grand conquérant, en Gaule France les romains ont apporté la civilisation et beaucoup de sciences et techniques à un peuple barbare
I understand only to well now, what I could not understand back then when I read the books and watched the series and played the game Rome .
Betrayal is a Great Mentor and teacher. Learning is testable Loving. Save a man's life and make a frenemy.
Not only did we miss more season of this all time great show we missed the window to do it properly.
they dont do it like they used to. Game Of Thrones season 1-4 was the last of the great ERA before everything has become samey
The Justice knows every man’s number...
Roma fell? When? Tell me, don't you see the roads we walk on? Tell me, don't you talk a language as similar to Latin as you are similar to your parents? Tell me, don't you feel an invisible feeling watching these statues two millennials old and still just as beautiful as the day the marble was taken from the heart of the Earth? Tell me, aren't you...Roman?
If Caesar was a tyrant, he was the most benevolent one, ever.
Had the Egyptians not had Pompey killed, perhaps he would've detered Caesar's assassins. And in killing Pompey, they have also killed Caesar.
I haaaaaaaaaaaaaated Brutus' mother in this show. She was great before Caesar ditched lmao but afterwards she became a sorceress or witch of some sort.
U am crying right now
Ave true to Caesar
Caesar just got too cocky towards the end. He created so many enemies that absolutely hated him then kept them around and allowed them to stay in power lol
In the end he was avenged though so all good
He wasn’t cocky you don’t understand. Would you say Jesus was cocky for keeping Judas at his side even though he knew what it was to come? Same Caesar had his motivations to do what he did
@@marcobelli6856 that's why octavian mass executed his enemies? because he realized caesar's arrogant mercy was his downfall
That wasn’t his thinking, and his plan was pretty good. if you keep around the people you defeated they ever try to rise up and attack you again you have a great reason to start a dictatorship for life. He just thought two little of the senators themselves. and he’s usually with his armies so he thought nothing of it.
Le plus grand conquérant de l histoire et un très grand empereur
Mdr
Unless you're desert people, stop calling a traitor "Judas", call him "Brutus" instead.
Why do the old republic OSTs fit so well with Rome?
Because the republic fell with Caesar,and Imperium rises with Augustus.
Caesar was grate. Invented a salad and the month of July.
Sometimes when republics lose their way from the ideals they held when they were founded and fall into corruption, party squabbles some want a great man to take the reins. The question will always be should we allow them?
It's Gaius Julius Caesar IV.
The name is pronounced Kazer and not Seezer.
He was assassinated by a plot of the Vestal Virgins to steal his money and his name.
He still has blood descendants and I am one of them.
It isnt kazer, google translate got it wrong, it’s more like the Italian version, chesale. Vici for i conquered is said vichi so why would it sound like a k for ceasar, makes no sense man.
Ave César !!!
🤚🤚🤚
The best thing about Rome compared to fantasy is this shit for the most part actually happened. It really makes you wonder. . . most of us could be speaking modern Latin right now and be worshiping Jupiter Maximus and Mars.
CAESAR!
I am bringing the roman empire back in spirit, join me
for me, caesar ever ll be a red square.
Ave Divus Julius!

Would you understand it? How long would it take the actors to learn it?
What kind of weapon those soldiers carry like a rifle? 0:25
Fasces. The consul's symbol of office
They are not soldiers, they are Lictors. A Lictor was a Roman civil servant who was an attendant and bodyguard to a magistrate who held imperium. They carried a Fasce, which was an axe bound by wooden rods. This is where the symbol of Mussolini’s Fascists came from.
