Caesar in Spain: part three - A victory without a battle 

This is probably my favorite of all of Caesar's campaigns and one of my favorites campaigns ever. Caesar defeating a large enemy army without ever fighting any major battle is absolutely impressive, and shows how good Caesar actuall was.

Kudos to Afranius for pushing Caesar’s ingenuity to it’s limits and not giving up so easily. Otherwise we wouldn’t have had these video series. Well done Syntagma 👍

“When in doubt - build a wall” Gaius Julius Caesar

Production quality is so high, that watching all the ads without skipping feels like a bargain.

Legend's say They are still camping.

Caesars campaign against Aphraneus in Spain is one of the most fascinating and captivating reads in military history. Such a form of war of manuver in these acient times and the extent of it is just mindblowing.

Me : Having a bad day and tired of life... Me: Sees Syntagma uploaded Part III of Caesar in Spain. Also me: *Excited screeching noises*

Criminally undersubscribed

I’ve listened to this story told dozens of times in Ceasars war commentaries audiobook. Feels great finally having a visual representation of the story.

i watch K&G, bazbattles, historymarche, invicta, etc and you are just as good as any of them. Keep up the awesome work. these videos are great

The wait was long, and the result worth it. Awesome stuff

This channel is a Jupiter’s gift to us common viewers ☀️ These videos are rare but so good 👍 Quality over quantity is what youtube been lacking recently.

I was wondering when you were going to upload again! Epic

All hail Ceasar. Can you imagine the dross we have as leaders now going on campaign? Ceasar cared about his troops and that is why they were so loyal. He also was intelligent enough to make concessions.

Long time no see! Psychological warfare is the best kind of warfare.

I've seen this story on RU-vid before, but never with such detail and such clarity as in your three part series. I never even realized before that this entire campaign was fought with basically no major battles at all. Crazy, though, that the Caesarians could take a defeat at the gates of Ilerda and make it seem like a victory because of how fiercely they fought.

It looks like YT is supressing historical videos now... You guys are a global treasure.

Incredible videos, thanks for your work. They remind me of history channel when they actually showed history some 15 years ago

What a tactical genius Ceasar was! A lost art!

Oh men this video was so good, keep it going, ur doing great work, a lot of details that others channels misses.

Excellent, having listened to a many a podcast on Cesar and the History of Rome. Really appreciate the video & look forward to hopefully many a future videos

The constant positional battles and maneuvering really highlights the similarity of campaign to chess. The Spanish campaign is so interesting

you and history marche are a gift from god

Excellent Work. Well Done! Caesar was vicious in campaign. Once the prey was fixed, he no longer let it escape.

100 times better than any channel on youtube! The graphics is so beautiful and delicate. Perfect narator and music. If this is not a masterpiece, then nothing should be called a masterpiece!

From Sun-Tzu to Napoleon, it was said the mark of a great commander was the victory without combat. Napoleon once remarked that he had 'defeated them with marches'.

By far, the best combination of storytelling and animation depicting a battle in Caesar's Civil War. You have outshined even Kings & Generals and HistoryMarche. ⚔️

5:01 ~ 5:15 creative and stunning transition animation!

What an excellent ending to the Spanish campaign! Great video! Can't wait for the Greek campaign...

WOW this video is amazing, so fascinating. Caesar had one of the most creative mindsets. But also clever, insightful and thoughtful. Always forward-looking. Very bright and sharp.

I love how these videos show the tactical brilliance of Caesar! More please!

Neutralized 7 enemy legions with just clever maneuvering...the man was a genius

God the wait was so long. But still very worth it. Best ancient battle analysis channel on youtube

An absolute master piece

well I was waiting for this video since 9 months ago. i literally forgot about it, then I saw the title and went "WAIT. THERES NO WAY" the day is now going 1000% better

Your channel has the level of perfect teaching material in schools.

And this is why Ceaser dominates the books of history.

I found Caesar the man among the greats. Top 5 . He owned and made it. Caesar I got your back!

This series was incredibly well done! It was packed full of information and research, animation was awesome, and it was super suspenseful. You told the story in a way that just drew me in and kept me waiting for the next moment. Caesar was so brilliant. The music really added to the suspense, too. You always do a fantastic job, but you really went to the next level with these three videos. Thank you and, again, exceedingly well done! Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

Oh hell yeah! I've been waiting and I'm sure it was worth the wait.

great job, keep on doing, I'm a fan of Caesar's tactical licks, please do more of that;) thank you

This was honestly a brilliant campaign by both sides. Given their veterancy, the Optimates Hispanic army was probably the best they had. Despite the decisiveness of its ending both sides performed well during the campaign, and it wasn't until the end that things started to turn inexorably in the Populares' favour.

Jeasus holy Caesar! Awesome work, dude...

Imagine if this was the programming on the History Channel. Wouldn't even need to change the graphics and it'd be one of their most successful shows.

It's getting better and better.

Your videos are AMAZING. Please keep 'em up.

Rivetting stuff, Sir! Well worth the wait.

I could watch this all day, please continue making these videos!

Your videos are always worth the wait. Please keep them coming!

These are very well done. Thank you for taking the time to put them together. Loved it!

Worth the wait!

Greetings from Brazil! Congratulation on the video. Well done! We need more! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

This guy is the khan academy of historic events

E enjoy your channel by far the most. Great work, highly appreciated! Respect!

Amazing tactician! I wish your videos were uploaded more often! Thx!

Worth the wait. Thanks!

I totally forgot about this channel even though I was here since the second video. Glad to see you back

So let me get this straight . . . You make four videos over the course of a year and now say that these things take time (which I'm sure they do), and we now have to wait a year, or longer, for one. Make no mistake mate yours are the finest vids on ancient history on YT but you could help your cause immensely by just putting out the occasional update - and not just for subscribers. Are you still active? Interested? Alive? Talk to us. Cheers!

Absolutely Brilliant

This is awesomeness. Thank you!!

Great to see that you have uploaded. Keep up all the great work

Been waiting for a lifetime for this moment.. and what an amazing stuff.. really like it

You should deserve a millon subscribers. Your content is awesome. I love it!! Greeting from Argentina! Keep going !!

Congratulations, amazing work

You have an amazing channel. Thank you.

Great research. Lots of detail bigger channels miss. Keep it up

Outstanding content, thank you.

Caesar is the man!

Been waiting for this one! Great job :D

The legend has returned

Just... EPIC!!! Thanks for the video!

These vids are truly great

Wonderful video! I am particularly surprised by the preeminent role of Caesar's auxiliary cavalry to harrass and slow down the Pompeian army. I also wonder if that would have been possible if Romans were more familiar with archery: in that case the harrassment of the cavarly would have been much harder to carry out.

I've been waiting for another episode!

Wicked channel dude! Love the graphics, and storytelling👍

Yes! Thank you!!

Caesar was playing 3D chess, insane.

Hi pls do more of this. Its awesome!

amazing worth the wait

Great job!

Thanks for uploading....long waiting...

beautiful!

Brilliant 👏

nice. been waiting a long time for this. Thank you

Fucking hell what a campaign for those soldiers on both sides. Marching, digging camps and entrenchment day out day in.

Ceasar was comfortable in the midst of battle. What an absolute tactical genius. The greatest military mind throughout history.

great videos!
