Well there a previous event where Ptolemy’s sister-wife and daughter kicked out Ptolemy and his other daughters because they were Roman puppets and ruled for a few years until the Romans restored their puppet, and executed the daughter, who was reigning as sole queen after her mother either died of natural causes or was murdered. One of the daughters who went with Ptolemy XII ‘failure’ was Cleopatra. So really she was just following in her mother and sister’s footsteps.

Caesar was pissed off with Ptolemy XIII having Pompey beheaded for a couple other reasons: 1, The punishment for a former consul being an enemy was usually exile 2, Ptolemy owed Pompey Magnus a huge favor and he repaid him with betrayal and beheading him? Bad move. 3, A kingdom that was indebted to Rome had to respect Roman law and one of those laws was not to harm a Roman citizen of any class without Rome passing the sentence--in short, only Romans had the right to kill Romans, and even then, there had to be good reason. 4, Despite being enemies, they were still old friends and former in-laws. 5. Ptolemy violated a basic ancient law of hospitality.

@Dimblenick 6 лет назад

is this where the "HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME" is coming in? cause i almost thought that was about Ceaser and how he went on holiday for 3 months after having been out of the country and cut off from the world (quite literally) for half of his term already.

@KTChamberlain 6 лет назад

NimbleDick Crabb // I never said that, although Historia Civilis pointed out in the video covering Caesar's term as Consul in 59 BC, Ptolemy XI had no legitimate heirs and in his will left Egypt to Rome, but Caesar did not press that claim and Ptolemy XII did a lot have Rome essentially legitimize his claim to the throne despite being a bastard and maintain his kingdom's independence so to speak. Ptolemy XIII did not plan to have Caesar and Pompey killed together. He had Pompey killed on arrival in the hopes of currying Caesar's favor since he won the civil war*, but he learned the hard way that that was a bad move and would later live to regret that decision. But when Caesar occupied his palace and then later supported Cleopatra, then he sought to try and kill Caesar. To put it simply in a comedic fashion, that Boy-King dicked with the wrong Dictator.

I think that Caesar was genuinely saddened by Pompeys death. For years they were friends and allies and even family, you don’t just feel nothing when that person dies and you find out by having their severed (and probably rotting) head thrust in your face. Although no doubt he was also angry about being denied his surrender.

@louisswanepoel1614 6 лет назад

Louis Swanepoel That’s true but even when friends quarrel and drift apart you still miss the good old days. For a couple of years me and one of my close friends didn’t talk at all bc we’d had a disagreement and I ended the friendship. And despite my anger at what happened I was still really saddened by it because I’d lost a friend. I think that in that moment (if Caesar really did weep) he didn’t see the severed head of his enemy but the desecrated corpse of an old friend. If Caesar really didn’t know anything about his death then I doubt he would’ve been ready to shed crocodile tears on a moments notice and that those tears were genuine.

The events leading up and during the siege of the Ptolemaic royal palace of Alexandria, with Caesar and his budding new love interest Cleopatra VII trapped together inside of it for months before the Roman relief force arrives, honestly reads like something out of an adventure novel. It's just so damn epic. That's especially the case with the whole burning of the ships in the harbor that spread fire to the famous Library of Alexandria, burning part of it down. Must have been quite a sight.

alus nova that movie is incredibly cheesy, though. It didn't really accurately depict Greco-Roman civilization or the major figures of the time period. The dialogue was terribly contrived and the special effects are just meh. The costumes and settings are also terrifyingly unauthentic for the Hellenistic period and late Roman Republic. The combat depicted in the film is also laughable. Spartacus was a much better film.

The Romans had annexed Pontus and the surrounding territory after victory in the Third Mithridatic War in 63 BC. However, Caesar would make Mithridates King of the Bosporus for helping him out of this sticky situation.

There is a large number of scholars that are of the opinion that Caesar knew about the assassination plot. He was very clever so one wonders why he ignored all the evidence both human and divine. Well, 1) his epileptic fits were becoming more frequent and it was taking him longer to recover; 2) the political situation in Rome was becoming too much to handle; thus he planned to go on campaign to get out of the kitchen so to speak. When the plot came along he had a chance to go out at the peak of his career and maintain his auctoritas. He had the examples of Pompey, Cato, and others pointing to the road he did NOT want to take.

@zeroinfinity9189 6 лет назад

Caesar made him king of the Bosporan Kingdom, by commanding him to declare war on his niece Dynamis and her husband Asander (who were then the ruling monarchs) to seize the kingship for himself. Dynamis and Asander were defeated by Mithridates and his army, and Mithridates became King of the Bosporus. However, after Caesar’s death in 44 BC, the Bosporan Kingdom was restored to Dynamis and Asander by Caesar’s great nephew and heir, Octavian (future Roman Emperor Augustus). Sometime after Mithridates abdicated, he died. Strait from WIKIPEDIA. In short, He was made King by Caesar with Rome's full authority but screwed over when Caesar's nephew, Octavian's succeeded Caesar. This is Ironic because Caesar also made him Emperor of Rome as well. Octavian (Augustus) occupied with another Roman civil war, probably not wanting to deal with a Bospoaran revolt, restored Bospoaran Kingdom to it's rightful owner. Again, pretty Ironic.

there is something close to it, HBOs rome, wich got cancelled couse was very very expensive and zipped 2 seasons worth of material into the second, the original plan were 6 seasons until the birth of cristianity (they start just after capturing vercingetorix and ends in the creation of the empire and cover , very freely and nutshelled, the events of the video) and...HBOs game of thrones the first seasons at least who acts more like actual history (but yeah, expect lots of unnecesary nudes) anyway Rome is worth a watch even with its historic flaws/changes for dramatization or needed and budget shortage on battles is always very authentic in the portrayal of everything, relationships, behaviour, neat details etc and i recoment it

Fer blancart thanks, but of course, I was aware of both shows and have watched them. I really like HBO's Rome, but it's not quite it. Netflix has something more akin to what I had in mind, it's called Roman Empire, very imaginative naming once again. This one, on the other hand, looks very cheap, and I don't think it's a matter of budget, but direction.
