Dude was such badass, he was born in July before July was invented.
😂
😂😂
lol. 🤣👍🍺
But July is named after Caesar, even more chad
and his successor is August
I love that Caesar became so infuriated at the Ptolemie for murdering Pompey Magnus. Even though they were political enemies, Caesar still respected Pompey and took great offense at his death. This scene in the show "Rome" is one of my personal favorite and does an excellent job of portraying the great nobility of Julius Caesar.
Yeah, it’s kinda respectable, but Caesar’s downfall was caused by him being way too respectful and kind to his enemies, who were snakes
@@theuniverseisme432 yep. “What is honor for a man in a world of the honorless?”
I interpreted it that he still wanted to bring him back to the fold. The guy was a tad bit lenient to his enemies.
@@kingston4313 He never viewed Pompey as his true enemy though and always maintained respect for him as his fellow countryman. This is how Caesar helped bring about a sense of empathy to military strategy that we still maintain today -- he was different from Alexander and Genghis Khan in that sense. Imo at least.
HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!
Julius Caesar is so legendary that even after he was assassinated by the conspirators in the Senate, he still got a last laugh beyond the grave.
Like
He became immortal
Caesar did not "fall".
He was felled.
There's a huge difference.
Exactly. Although he had poor judgment in trusting his enemies which led to his felling
@@theuniverseisme432 A WARNING TO ALLL
he did not lose, he merely failed to win!

Ceaser was a dangerous, smart and fast calculative ambitious man. A great Hero
Usually I only listen UA-cam videos in the background. But this time, I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. So many great visuals, and the narration flowed so well! Excellent work, thanks so much!
My thoughts as well 👏
@@oddpoppetesq.3467 While there is some great artwork used in this video. Please keep in mind some of it is really anachronistic. For exmple there are some depictions of the colosseum which was built over 100 years later.
But as said that doesn't take away from the artwork itself
True
Many of the images are from the HBO show Rome. Great show. I recommend it. It's awesome.
Same thing happened to me
Caesar really was quite the genius. He didn't waste a moment of his life.
He was aware that after “alea iacta est” every form of apology would lead to such an overwhelming backlash, that he had no choice but to continue on his path. He is one of the few that actually had the guts to do that. A lot to learn about the human condition by studying Julius Caesar
He worked non stop for things bigger than himself
@Dannie Kent Rome . Just like living in the use drives me to help it all cost even my own life

@@TonyMontana-is6qd Wrong. You're not willing to give up your life for the idea of your country. Don't hit me with "oh but I'm a soldier" I'm an Afghan vet. If you think that the reason why great soldiers become great is BC they love their country, you're just plain wrong
Never in my life did I think I'd be so interested in a video about a Roman leader from over thousands of years ago. Fantastic video
I mean u should be interested. Because these men had the primal urge to conquer. U also have that urge too.
@@KD400_ you have a W profile picture. Respect to you 👍🏻🤙🏻
Correction: Julius's family wasn't rich, though one of the highest patriarchal families in Rome. The ransom was given by the Roman Senate as Julius was already a member at a very young age.
That's what I know . Good correction
Patricians
Even to this day, you can’t think of Ancient Rome without thinking of Caesar. He was what made Rome a military superpower; his military conquests are legendary. Many military leaders to this day learn much from his tactics and strategies. Makes me wonder what kind of victories he would have if he had access to modern day weaponry.
TILL THIS DAY 😤😤😤
@@Nuggets1527he wouldn't live to this very day

That guy didn't waste a motion. Seems like a political genius. I would like to have played chess with him.
He'd be more likely to change the rules of the game than to beat you through pure strategy
@Slywerk you can lose a lot of things besides your life and you can definitely reset after losing
I think he was a checkers guy
chess didnt come around till the dark ages
@@davyroger3773 he would build a wall around the opponents troops and claim they can't move outside of it without reinforcements as it would break realism
This is the thing many legendary conquerors have in common: Being in the fight with thier men, eating tje same food, riding under the rain with them and generally sharing thier hardship. This is why thier men loved them so much and would push themselves so hard to make thier leaders proud.
Their
Caesar also left 300 Cistersti (1 month's salary) to every single Roman citizen in his will, out of his fortune. Never heard of any dictator or emperor doing that ever.
Julius Caesar was one of the five best generals/tacticians/leaders ever. He wasn't quite the consensus leader of, say, his grand nephew Octavian, but those who adhered to him were utterly loyal. His field achievements speak for themselves...
The greatest general in history of mankind is Julius Caesar.

Never a dull moment in Rome those days.
I learned more about the Roman Empire in this video than 4 years of NYC high school.
It is interesting that they mention Rome at all in your school.
Duh
Should have gotten a library card
I wonder which has more concrete. Ancient Rome or NYC
Obviously NYC is run by democrats.
I came I saw I conquered my place in history
I was 12 when I first learned about Caesar and instantly knew I want to learn more about him. Indeed a great man.
I was around like 10. I still remember giving an answer to the teacher about him lol
I love Ancient Roman history keep these videos coming and you’ll have a loyal viewer.
Hahaha same here man... Count one more for it
¹¹¹
Do you know any other good channels about Roman Empire?
It's amazing the names that are said throughout the ages. Imagine someone talking about you 2,062 years after your death lol. That's insane. Most people are completely forgotten 50 years or so after their deaths. Once everyone you knew and interacted with also die, that's like your second and final death. Not for these guys!
💯Same here & Ancient Egypt too
Julius ceasar is a legend a beast of a general!
Ever heard of Bonaparte?
@@rochejaquelein1257 I would not rate Napoleon as high as Caesar to be honest. Tho he is easily in the top 10 off all time
The man. The myth. The legend.
😢
@@rochejaquelein1257 Napoleon admired ceaser
Of Caesar it could be said ...... He did not say “ men take that hill “. Caesar would say “ men we will take that hill “. Imagine being in a desperate fight, worn down thirsty , tired to death . Then hearing “ Caesar stands the line “. Knowing the old man is in the fight with you .... then you really fight.
Apart from the historical interest, the artwork is very impressive and goes well with the oratory.
This is underrated documentary, it should be 4 million views !!!
I used to dislike him when I saw him on tv because he was portrayed as bad guy, but after watched this video, I have nothing but respect for him. What brilliant guy. He is a brilliant strategic and work really hard to get to where he is. You can see why his soldiers, generals and people working for him are loyal to him
He plundered and squandered other regions wealth ,in a way he's a glorified pirate.
I prefer Cesar more than Alexander
I prefer Cesar more than Alexander
@@kaputasri you mean like modern day USA? Lots of similarities between today's US and Rome.
The Senate and Pompeii demanded Caesar to relieve from his position.
*This enraged Julius who punished them severely*
Well that's quite oversimplified.
Oversimplified reference
@@ShubhamSingh-xk3qe x.
He would've pardoned Pompey
Pompeii is the city Pompey is the general. The narrator also mispronounces it. He should know better.
Ceaser is one of the greatest military generals and ruler of human history
The death of Gaius Julius Caesar was arguably one of the most significant events in civilized human history.
I see my little history-passion comment has incited a religious debate, this was not my intention lol.
Apart from the death of Jesus Christ, I agree
@@sovereigngrace9723 no
@@randombanana640 you really think the death of Jesus Christ was less significant than Julius caesar ?

You gave me a great lesson on Roman history! Julius Caesar was a great man!!
Senate: We killed Caesar. We ended his dictatorship.
Roman People: NANI!?!?
4:13 that is kinda wrong, he didn't just went to war with the pirates. He went to ask the government to solve the problem, both side of the optimates and populares refuse to solve the problem of pirates. That is why Julius Cesar had to act on his own.
Some stuff in the vid is not accurate. But still good to watch.
"kinda" is kind of wrong!
Do you know where i can learn about Caesar with maximum accuracy?
Same thing about the time of his time as Consul. He was not a Consul while he was fighting the Gualic Tribes. He was essentially a governor which gave him the same political immunity as the position of Consul. Still a decent video.
@@getorifreefire944 look up "History Civillis Julius Ceasar" it's a really good video series and goes into pretty good detail.
History was my favorite subject in secondary school in Ghana I love it thanks for sharing God bless 👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤🇬🇭
Best documentary I seen about this topic. You have to do other videos like this again.
I was waiting for Mark Anthony to make that wondetful speach:
"Friends, Romans, country men; lend me your ears.
I came to bury ceasar, not to praise him..." as Shakespear put it in his play.
Great story anyway.
Pompey had no choice when he turned against Caesar. Their friendship was a fragile one but I can understand Caesar's anger to find his friend slain in Egypt. The chance of reconciliation gone forever. That hurts. And it still ripples across 2000 years of time to this day...
He didn't care about Pompey, he was channeling Alexander chasing Darius
Beautifully made. Nice visuals, nice way of narration 👏👏👏!!! Highly enjoyed this.
Great video - very interesting and nicely illustrated!
QUITE EDUCATIONAL, INTRESTING HISTORY!!
I LOVE ANCIENT HISTORY!! TQ FOR A LOVELY PROGRAM!!!
Pity that Titus Labienus wasn't mentioned. He was Caesar's friend and most reliable legate until Caesar marched on Rome. When that happened, Labienus defected to Pompey's side and was the last opponent Caesar had to deal with in his civil wars. He deserves at least half the credit for the Conquest of Gaul and in North Africa he gave Caesar a bloody nose at the Battle of Ruspina. Maybe Labienus should get his own video on this channel. I'm sure he has plenty of material to fill a video on this channel.
Very true and sharp point
Excellent documentary, as a history buff and unlike today’s teachings this was not only correct but very well done. Subscribed already and very happy
Mad respect for this great man of valour all this time he was paving the way for one the greatest empire ever known
I'm grateful for this story about J. Caeser. Thanks for the upload.🌻
@@Endgame707 thanks for the info. Love and light from Gore, Oklahoma.❤💡
this was so beautiful and created so well
Definitely the definition of badass!!! And, like a previous commentator, I too have learned more about Caesar in this video than from a Catholic education! Needless to say, excellentally informative video!!! Thank you Sir!!
Great documentary! And the art works are amazing!
I love learning about Rome in the ancient orders this is a great video and I’m glad to be part of this group, I share the same birthday as Julius Caesar July 13th
Right. It's amazing that some people are remembered thousands of years after they die. I'll be completely forgotten 50 years after I die lol.
That’s awesome because July was named after Julius Caesar
Great video. You made it amazing.Keep up the good work
Very good video. You're a Great history teacher!
Excellent video as always.Keep up the good work well done.
Yeah, nice 3D graphics. 🤩👍

Good this is an amazing video about Julius Caesar's life amazing thank you for posting this and creating it
Thank you very much for this video 👍☺️
Dude I don’t know where you get most of this animation from but my god it captures the imagination
They were stylised images from a few movies and documentaries, modt are on UA-cam
its from total war rome the videogame
It's from total war, a game you must play once in your life
@@adventuressurvivalinthailand Yeah they were quite good. I know about the Total war things I have like over 5000 hours on the franchise lol
bro's ready to forgive the people who betrayed him and cried when he found out about Pompey's death that's why he's one of the GOAT generals
AMAZING VIDEO
Thanks a lot to everyone who put efforts on this amazing video
In Roman times, no one dies suddenly... in Caesar's books... it's right on time. Fact of the matter is, the Senate cemented his legacy.
ABSOLUTAMENTE INTERESANTE E EDUCATIVO! MUY AGRADECIDA, GRACIAS
POR ESTA HISTORIA
ANTIGUA!!!!!!
Great summary; extremely enjoyable.
this video just saved my life and my history grade thank you 🙏
There are a few inaccuracies in this video, but the one that annoyed me the most was the claim that Caesar's boat capsized at the Battle of the Nile. I think you've confused that with a similar event that happened during the siege of Alexandria where Caesar tried to capture the lighthouse on the other side of the bay.
Greatly narrated. I love the imagery and illustration. Good job.
Indeed Julius Caesar deserve to be immortalized
Thanks so much for the video
History at it’s best, thanks
Wait- nah, hold up.
Octavian was never *crowned* .
He simply absorbed all of the most important posts in the empire and gave the rest to his supporters. They wouldn’t wear diadems until Diocletian. Muuuuch later in the 3rd century.
You are absolutely right
Yea the title imperor was not emperor as an absolute ruler, just the highest seat in power that would veto almost anything
You are correct. Octavian took the title "Princeps" or First Citizen, not emperor. However, this made him the epitome of George Orwell's' famous line that "some are more equal than others".
Wait- nah, hold up.
Octavian was never crowned .
He simply absorbed all of the most important posts in the empire and gave the rest to his supporters. They wouldn’t wear diadems until Diocletian. Muuuuch later in the 3rd century.
So basically Caesar started the Roman Empire because he saw a statue?
Lol in hindsight maybe you could say that 🤣
I think its more correct to say over a period of 20 years he triggered a series of events that lead to the end of the Republic.
that transition to empire was by no means a given.
Basically, if octavian who was the first emperor (not caesar) had been terrible at it, rome would have gone right back to being a Republic and one man rule would never had gotten enough support from the people and from the military.
It's was actually Octavian the adopted son of ceaser who created the roman empire

Great video as always! I'd be really interested in countries history ✨😎‼
Nice documentary i subscribered your channel nd liked this video
I'm always fascinated seeing the use of footages from the total war games in youtube documentations. Great one here!
According to Asterix books...when vercingetorix threw his armour down at Ceasars feet, he threw it directly on Ceasars sandled toes and Ceasar jumped around in pain cursing in roman "bad words"....LOL. (Asterix and the Chieftains shield)
LOVE Asterix and Obelix!
That's just a comic lol
I appreciate this Channel 💚
Excellent video, thanks for sharing 👍
Wow
Such a huge massive history in few mins.... Covered.
Beautiful... Got to know so much.. Thank you so much...
THIS IS SO GOOD I LOVED IT
Great research. Well done!!!!
Good job my man👍. Can you do a video vercingetorix himself?
Wow.what great man.fearless, genius, ambitious but with purpose.
Pls don't forget that in his conquest of Gaul, Caesar may have killed over a million people. That's a lot of suffering.
One my favourite historic figures!
Wow.... During my school days we've learned about JC... and that was partly... But upon watching this wow as in wow. Thank you much.
Excellent art. Thank you.
Since when did I love history so much
May you do a video on Veles and Perun, please?
So few UA-camrs make the proper connection between events. Thank you for explaining how the shattering of the Triumvirate poisoned the well for Julius Caesar.
Marcus Licinius Crassus is the man who financed Caesar. Pompeius Magnus never gave Caesar a dime, and wasn't as impressed with Caesar's military victories as Crassus.
This is because Pompey, himself, was a great military general in his own right. Up until the Battle of Carrhae, Crassus was just some rich dude who hadn't distinguished himself too much on the battlefield.
This was the reason Crassus forced that ill-fated battle in the first place. ⚔️
Nice love all your video's.
8:21 Calpurnia.
Cleopatra be like: Hehe little do they know
Caesar took power from the senate to become a dictator only for the senate to have their revenge against him...Even still immortalized by Rome for the balls he had
Thx to this guy I did my history homework thx my guy🎉🎉😊😊
Love this video great information. What are your sources for the information you used for this video?
9:59 The colosseum, as pictured ,wasn't built until 70 A.D.
Sure. But there were other places where gladiators fought. All over the Roman empire.
The question of last words always fascinates me. Especially in case of a violent death. Nobody utters "et tu brute" or whatever after being stabbed 20+ times by over 60 people. I mean it could have occured while there was this initial "brawl" was going on. But after the stabbing the last words of every human ever were "aaaaarrrghhh"
yeh, these things are always romanticized in media, he probably said nothing an felt pure betrayal, confusion and anger
The TV series Rome jokingly makes a reference to this.
After Caesar's assassination, the senators are gathered at Brutus' house. Mark Antony arrives and is asked to wait outside. Cassius and Cicero insist that they ought to get rid of Antony, much to Brutus' chagrin. When his mother also agrees, he turns to her and says "You too, mother?"
This was really a wonderful learning video. I really enjoyed it. 👍👍
Quality learning, many thanks

Great video and mostly accurate; however, this video has numerous errors so take it with a grain of salt. It also skips over some crucial events. Great simplified video of his life.
i think so too, after watching Historia Civilis videos, this is too simple
Shut up
@Cristhian Ramirez thanks. Don’t worry, I know the drill, I’m on my way to get you some tampons and chocolate.
Its actually very simplified especially around the 15min mark to the end lots of errors and crucial details not discussed. Good video non the less i enjoyed the early life part.
@@deciphertwentythree7726 I am speaking from the perspective of the general public. Most people don’t want to know every detail of Caesar’s life and for most people this video will suffice. I was not speaking about individuals such as myself who have more than a dozen books on the matter.
Keep up, the good work
My name is Cesar. Dam this dude went through a lot. We were a different breed back then.
What a great history ..
