  • Dig into the personal and political assassination of Roman dictator Julius Caesar, and find out why his senators plotted against him.
    --
    On March 15th, 44 BCE, Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of about 60 of his own senators. Why did these self-titled Liberators want him dead? And why did Brutus, whose own life had been saved by Caesar, join in the plot? Kathryn Tempest investigates the personal and political assassination of Julius Caesar.
    Lesson by Kathryn Tempest, animation by Brett Underhill.

    • @lorenzopassero8509
      @lorenzopassero8509 5 років тому +30

      @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.

    • @mtobrien1

      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.

      @KN4P1 Caesar was Brutus protector he even took him back and spared his life after the civil war with pompey, in which Brutus sided with pompey.
      Caesar was Brutuses protector and he responded by stabbing him to death

    • @Nikolapoleon
      @Nikolapoleon 7 років тому +8

      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.

They need to make a series about Julius Caesar's life. His love and war stories would put soap opera and Spartacus to shame.😮

      +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.
