Him not betraying Augustus is very empowering. When he had all the power to do it and as many in history have done to their best friends he didn’t. They say “power doesn’t necessarily corrupt,but reveals” well this is a great example.

@@mikeguce7959 Agrippa was a warhero who controlled the army. Turning against Octavian wouldn't be implausible. He didn't.

Augustus offered him several triumphs. He turned them all down. When he won a victory, he refrained from celebrating because Octavian was going through a difficulty around the same time.

For them Augustus was the son of a demi god and they themselves thought Augustus as a good. If anything Octavian was a master of propaganda.

Marcus Agrippa - The Emperor’s best friend & adopted son. Get you a friend like him that can make you into a man Caesar Augustus & Marcus Agrippa = *The Greatest Bromance in human history*
Nah, fam - he doesn't make you a man. He makes you MORE than a man. What other second could ever be remembered so fondly after 2000 yrs? One of my favorite characters in all of history. I liked his portrayal in Rome. He has this vulnerability about him. Like he doesn't feel worthy. Like he's not super handsome. He's a middling warrior. But through hard work, he does the impossible bc he must. Bc he loves Octavian.
He is my personal favorite Roman, bar none. He had power, fame, and wealth beyond all but Augustus himself. He was a loyal, intelligent, and spectacularly effective general and statesman. Were it not for Agrippa, there would not have been an Augustus. These two friends took on the world, and won. They were as brothers should be. He should be looked on as one of the greatest sons Rome ever had.
I think Caesar's immortality and notoriety overshadow Augustus who did far more in his life than Caesar IMO. And then Agrippa is overshadowed by Augustus, but i get the sense that he wouldn't mind. He'd rightfully feel pride in the recognition that Augustus receives. We students of history know more. We know that without men like Agrippa, the Octavians of the world would have short reigns. I can't help but see the many parallels between Rome and US. Our domination over most of the world. The many positives of our rule overshadowed by the occasional horrible sin. And the horrible sins that pervaded the first century of our existence. The genocide of the original inhabitants of this land; the broken treaties; the massacres; the involuntary servitude of millions of Africans; the horribly bloody war required to free them; the fact that freedom was not much better for many; the racism they faced for decades after; and now the divide growing again. The crime wave hitting our nation as we face the first real military threat in decades. The almost inevitable war that we cannot seem to prevent without capitulating to bullies and thugs. If only we had men like Agrippa serving leaders like Augustus today. Even if we did, half the nation would vilify them. I like that he had humble roots like my hero Lincoln.
Agrippa's most moving Statement was on His own Death Bed. His old Friend and sharer in Power, OCTAVIAN/Augustus was with Him in His last Moments. Agrippa looked Octavian straight into the Eyes of His Life-long Companion and Pleaded, "When I die, please let My 2 Sons NOT be raised as High-Born Princes, (which was their high privilege under the Principate) but as regular old traditioned Romans of the hearth and plow, like Cincinnatus". In later centuries the ruling class was to slowly depart from the Ideal that AGRIPPA had for His Sons and wished octavian to honor it, and instead they gravitated closer toward oriental Aristocracy and monarchy, but never quite reached it. And in times of Crisis the common soldier could still attain the purple cloth, for example Vespasian and His son Titus.@@burtan2000
@@burtan2000augustus and Agrippa both needed each-other .Agrippa was a great general and Augustus was great politician .both of them created a strong Empire .
Everyone needs an Agrippa in their lives. He was a man of Honour, integrity, genius and strength. He was a great man with a solid heart, an amazing mind, and a genuine care of the people he served.
Yup, nothing gets built without serious cooperation and acknowledgement, which a man like Augustus clearly understood. For Agrippa, the reward of a powerful, beautiful, and prosperous Rome was much more important than some triumph
I was digging around to see how common my opinion of Agrippa is when I found this. Good stuff. I am currently of the belief that he is probably in the top five most important people in the history of the western world (having had enough time for his ripples to travel further probably affect this). Going even further, I now believe that a good "right hand" is more necessary for success than the ruler. Further farther, the demeanor and skill set necessary for them to succeed is vastly more rare than that of the ruler. Agrippa, Khalid Ibn Al Wallid, and Subutai more or less built the world we live in with their own hands. The Agrippa bust I'm looking at right now on my mantle probably says he is my favortie historical figure
Great video, For a guy with his name across the greatest building ever made we don't see enough about Agrippa, For them to be educated together and Octavian being smart enough to realize this guy is more capable than me but not fear him as a rival instead the key carrying Caesar's name and agenda, Agrippa also knows by backing Octavian he can do way more than if opposed him. is amazing it was meant to be
Excellent at everything he commited to. Thorough and decisive, expert at getting things done. Whenever there wasn't an actual way to accomplish his objectives, he *invented* that way. Consul at 26 years of age for his skill on land. Got awarded the crown of the seas for his skill as an admiral. Turned the extremely filthy Rome into one of the cleanest cities on the world. Skilled politician. Legendary builder. Always avoided the limelight. Incorruptible. Loyal to his friends and family. He was born a commoner. Conclussion: *Agrippa was one hell of a MAN*
Amazing Amazing video i congratulate you for it, i must emphasize how i am impressed by your flawless prononciation of classical latin and ancient greek.
If you know anything about Augustus you should know he was the chaddest of chads. He tricked Cleopatra into thinking that he liked her so that she didn't burn the treasury and make her surrender. He was a cold hearted logical politician who would go to any lengths for the good of Rome
@@akashpatro9393 It was a cold move, but he wasnt Chad in nature. He was described as being physically weak and he often got sick as a child. When i think of "Chad" i think of a brute who is physically more capable, aka Agrippa. Augustus is still a legend tho!
The volume keeps cycling up and down, like the speaker is going in and out of range for of his microphone. I disconnected my Bluetooth speaker, but the problem persists. Too bad, I wanted to hear this.
Ohhh... Hello everyone! Don't mind me, I'm just browsing... Seriously though an excellent video about my all time favorite Roman followed closely by Marcus Aurelius.
I heard the reason why he was so loyal towards Octavian was that early on, his uncle or some relative got proscribed by Caesar, and Octavian asked his uncle to pardon that relative, which made Agrippa loyal to Octavian for the rest of his life.
Agrippa is the first person I have heard of that is both a general and admiral at the same time and excelled in both. To top it off, he is a great statesman and architect as well. Does he have the skills to be considered a polymath?
Good ole Agrippa! Agustus was most fortunate in having such a devoted friend! Good video. Your microphone was dropping in and out though. Otherwise we'll done!
That was so well done, especially speaking in Latin. I am so sick of watching these English renditions. I wish they would come out with a Roman TV show in Latin subtitle.
As Agrippa was of lowly birth, he always knew what the common people wanted so when he gained enough influence and power he did what he wanted from the early age.. he was, to put it mildly, the Napoleon of his age but he was never smart enough to outmanoeuvre Octavian and gain total power..
I don't think he would want to, he pretty much ruled Rome with agustus and the fact that Agustus let him be written in history in a very positive way speaks volumes to their friendship. He was truly the best right hand man anyone could ask for.
More like he didn't want to. Based on how Agrippa lived and how much Augustus grieved his sudden death, I think it's safe to say their friendship was solidly genuine. As a sickly man, Augustus had always assumed his more robust best friend would outlive him. M. Agrippa dying broke his heart and ruined his succession plans.
Lol being a backstabbing snake doesn't make you smart, it makes you the problem that caused the folly of the modern world, do not lower aggrippa to your level, he is beyond you
Well done! The Selucid empire would be fascinating video! To secede Alexander the Great in East was no small feet. And only fell to the expanding Roman Empire. The House of Selucids founder would make for an interesting one.
People always talk about Trajan, Caesar or Scipio, but I think what Agrippa did as a general was more impressive. Actium and Naulochus were all his mindset at work. Augustus was a brilliant administrator, but was piss poor at battle. I couldn't imagine being as gifted as Agrippa and not having a crazy ego.
I have got no criticism of historical contents, however, the video shows clearly some deficiencies in what regards sound volumes, often unbalanced and unstable. This is an aspect you should learn how to deal better in the future.
We could see that Agrippa is The greatest roman in their History being that Octavian is considered the best Emporer in roman history and could not have taken and maintained power without Agrippa.
The best men won the day at the Battle of Actium. They did a lot of good for the people. I can’t imagine Mark Antony would have been so altruistic if he came out on top.
I just get so excited by antiquity! But yes I’m still on the learning curve on the whole editing process so hopefully I’ll nail it in the future. Thanks for the support!
Other than Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus of the early days of Rome the Republic, and Marcus Vispsanius Agrippa under Augustus, none other than Brutus best represented the best Ideal Hero of the old Roman Republic.
I thought Augustus never named Agrippa as his successor/heir? I know he adopted and named Agrippa's sons as such but not the man himself? I could be wrong of course.
I have a quick question regarding the correct classical pronunciation: was gn like in magna originally just spoken like mag-na? I always thought it had been ma-ng-na. Anyways, awesome content as per usual. Really appreciate the stupendous effort of retelling ancient history with snippets of spoken texts in the respective languages with beautiful editing
Well, got to admit it - you taught me something there! I've just looked into it and you're absolutely right, will definitely be incorporating that pronunciation into future videos. I've clearly been influenced by too many films! And thanks so much for the support - next video on Atticus!
I wonder how far MVA and Octavian’s relationship actually went. They call it a Bromance, but I wonder if it went beyond that, even though Octavian was supposedly straight and cheated on his wife all the time
The audio is painfully bad. Weaves in and out. I don't think I can make it through the video. I recommend investing in a decent mic or better voice recording software.
The same for using the Greek, as for the Latin: knock off trying to impress everybody with your pronunciation, and just get the sentences done in English!

Augustus
Marcus Agrippa
Trajan
Germanicus
Marcus Aurelius
🫡
Other than Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus of the early days of Rome the Republic, and Marcus Vispsanius Agrippa under Augustus, none other than Brutus best represented the best Ideal Hero of the old Roman Republic.
So Agrippa was the ‘ renaissance man ‘ of antiquity
A true champion.
You should do a video on King Selucus I.
Definitely under consideration. Since my Ptolemy video I've been considering each of the Diadochi - thanks for the suggestion!
Octavian had Agrippa, Justinian had Belisarius, Lincoln had Grant
Can you add subtitles in english? my English is not fluent and with the subtitles I would understand more.
just added closed captioning - hope they help!
As I said, were they as brothers, or were they were something different? I
I think they had to be, as with Alexander and his “ friend” Hephaestion.
He was a great general apparently
I thought Augustus never named Agrippa as his successor/heir? I know he adopted and named Agrippa's sons as such but not the man himself? I could be wrong of course.
