I can’t imagine what Brutus also must have gone through after witnessing that scene. Caesar also must have been heart broken. The want for power broke both Caesar and Brutus.

    • @Hastdupech8509
      @Hastdupech8509 5 років тому +34

      @The Ranch It is a famous latin expression here in Italy. I've read that in English-speaking countries the expression attributed to Caesar before dying is "Et tu, Brute", from one of Shakespeare's works (I think you study it in schools in the UK or in the USA).
      Anyway, "Tu quoque, Brute, filii mi" derives from what Suetonius (a writer lived during the Roman Empire, so after Caesar death) reported in its work.
      Btw, either "Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi" or "Et tu, Brute" are hypothesis on his last words, are only speculations. When something nearly becomes a myth, however, it's difficult to unravel the mistery of how things really went and a coat of uncertainity still remains.

      Luis Alejandro, I'm sure I've read the same accounts as you. There is NO definitive evidence that he said such a thing. He MIGHT'VE said something like, "You too, my child." There are similar credible accounts stating he said nothing. Shakespeare popularized the statement, though.

      Gaius Cassius Longinus was brother-in-law to Brutus and was also a Pompeyan. Cassius profoundly disliked Caesar, but Caesar had spared his life too, recognizing his abilities as a leader.
      Decimus Junius Brutus was a distant cousin of Brutus, who was even closer to Caesar. He'd been a commander under him, a political ally, and a close friend who'd dined with him the night before. Decimus was even named in Caesar's will as an heir.
      Servilius Casca was a childhood friend of Caesar's, but joined the assassination along with his brother Titedius, as did one of the firmest supporters of Caesar's, Tillius Cimber, and Caesar's ally and former legate, Gaius Trebonius, who'd gotten him extra years as governor and served with him in Gaul and Britain.
      So there might be some truth to that.

    The "Republic" was merely an oligarchy, where a tiny class of the rich and powerful concentrated power and wealth in their hands.

      a major difference is that that Gaius Julius Caesar was an actual military leader and knew how to fight while trump does not. also Julius actually held political office.

      +Etrandir power was needed in order to change Rome for the better. Caesar wasn't someone who selfishly wanted power. He gave the citizens a large amount of his fortune if he died. That's why the citizens riled up and pushed the "liberators" out of Rome. The reason he was killed was because The Senate was extremely corrupt. Most of them was against Caesar. Brutus was persuaded greatly in order for him to join them. And even then they made him a scapegoat for their murder. Because his family already destroyed monarchy and he was a close friend of Caesar it would seem like they did it for the greater good instead of personal grudges.

    Beautifully animated and well-researched, but I do feel that the writers of this video have taken the more optimistic and idealistic view of Brutus that Shakespeare popularized, where he was an honourable man standing up against tyranny that he thought would destroy the Republic. In reality the Republic was as corrupt and inefficient as they come, and Brutus was no exception to this. He was a part of the corrupt and broken system that he claimed to fight for, and he was more than happy to accept the honours and titles that Caesar himself gave him.

    • @Sicario-se3lh
      @Sicario-se3lh 8 років тому +22

      I agree with you for the most part. The libertator cause was a complete lie that members of the senate told itself to justify the murder. Rome was already an empire by the time Julius was born and there have been times were the position of dictator was used for extended periods of time. However, in my opinion, Brutus may have been more of a tragic hero rather than a simple traitor. Lineage was important back then, and since he was badgered so much by the conspirators, it makes sense that he became a turncoat.

      This is an old myth that comes from the Dark Ages. Back then a king could be a madman or sociopath because of low public health standards and poor national communication. Ivan the Terrible, for example, drank mercury to try to quiet his psychoses, and Vlad Tepes' crimes were unknown to the uneducated masses. Did you ever notice how many of the greatest monarchs in history were the most modern? The changes in health and infrastructure provoked that development.
      The truth is, democracy doesn't prevent tyranny. If anything, it exasperates it. The greatest tyrants of the twentieth century, and indeed history as a whole, arose either by a coup or from democratic systems. Many even rose to fill the vacuums that monarchy left behind. In a modern world of constitutions and accountability standards, monarchy is arguably the most effective form of governance.

      Historians are still arguing on who among the two Brutus did Caesar treated as a son. I think the evidence sides more on Decimus Brutus and not Marcus Brutus (the more famous Brutus). Decimus Brutus was Caesar’s right-hand man, the one who convinced him to attend the senate meeting, and was named second heir next to Octavian. So odds are, if there was really indeed a Brutus that Caesar saw as a son, it was Decimus.

    The ambiguity of what is moral and what is not, what is loyalty and what is not comes alive in this narrative. Great video.
