Julius Caesar's Scandalous Rise to Power 

Who or what should I cover in the future? Let me know in the comments below. And while you wait for Julius Caesar Part 2, check out my 3-part series on the War of 1812 - ru-vid.com/group/PLP5thgEsoNiPc_EOZSTk9YkgGlDjsOrmZ

Caesar didn't die after his "assasination" by Brutus, Cassius et al. He actually survived, then fled in a boat across the ocean to what we know as the New World where he opened a casino and a successful tomato-and-cheese-on-panem franchise.

I’m so confused how this Chanel isn’t already blown up, history with great humour and animation. Easily should be among the most popular history Chanels on RU-vid

Important Note - In the Roman Republic, a dictator was more of a "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" position and didn't have the negative connotation it has today. Also, the average term for a Roman dictator was 6 months. Famously, Cincinnatus returned his power after 13 days, being the model dictator.

That eulogy was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard.

History teacher here. I don't know how this channel isn't on the same level of viewership as oversimplified. You guys make it fun and easy to understand. It's perfect for high school history students. Keep doing what you're doing.

8:56 I cannot express to you how much I love this part. I was completely taken off guard by what Caesar sang. It was amazing, i was dying of laughter, I loved it, actual gold. I’m glad I found this channel!

I like that you showed that Caesar’s captors had their throats slit before he crucified them. Good attention to detail.

Omg i didn’t know that a kid Julius Caesar could be so cute.

Never thought Caesar would recite Apple Bottom Jeans in his eulogy to his aunt Julia.

This...attitude that the romans seemed to have to a man just fascinates me. And entire culture of people who were more than willing to piss on every agreement they made, take turns betraying, humiliating and smacking each other and then having the nuts to be surprised when everyone turns on them at the drop of a hat.

I love that you drew the legions with Lorica Hamata and Coolus helmets rather than the stereotypical Lorica Segmenta and Gaillia helmet, which weren’t in use yet; its more accurate and it looks much nicer imo

Father: "We make do with what we have, and what we have matters most." Gaius: "And what's that?" Gather: "Love." Gaius: "I knew it! We're as poor as dogs!"

I'm a woman and I also have no idea what actually happens at women's parties. Alas, your female audience consists of history nerds who weren't invited to parties other than birthday parties because we tend to talk about history too much. My only guess about those parties is that they DON'T want to discuss wars, dictators, and whether or not there was a breeding population of Giraffes for food on the Ancient Roman peninsula.

This is one of the best overviews on Caesar I've seen. Sulla etc are far too often overlooked, and everyone keeps saying the entire Roman crisis didn't begin until the first triumvirate!

I want to note that bibilus as consul also had the power to cancel senate meetings if he felt that there were "bad omens". He used this authority every time the senate was due to meet, however everyone ignored it because Julius Caesar, who was Rome's chief priest, said it would be ok. Bibilus wasnt really seen in office until he was due to give his final farewell speech, given when one's term as counsul had ended, and when he was about to speak his speech was vetoed by a tribune of the plebs so he was stripped of basically all dignity at that point.

Not only did Caesar give us Half-Life 3, he gave us the sequel to Fallout New Vegas.

For all of Ceaser's scheming and brilliance, for some reason, he held an incredibly naive belief in The Power of Friendship. He dropped the ball when he tried to turn his life into a Shonen Anime.

For the record, the bit about Caesar and the king of Bythinia is almost certainly anti-Caesarian political propaganda. They depicted him as the submissive partner both because that's the part that was frowned upon in Rome, and also to show put across the idea that he would be submissive to foreign kings. That said, the apple bottom jeans eulogy bit is spot on and tends to be left out in most accounts. Thanks for that attention to detail!

I can't wait for part two. I know these stories well but never tire of hearing them again.

Parental discretion is advised. 😄

How do you guys not have 1 million subs? Y'all have legit become one of my favourite channels on here 😭

I'm telling you this channel is criminally underrated. The humour, animation and historical content combine to make this one of the greatest channels there is

Well, I think I found my next channel to binge. Great work, man!

The reason that soldiers tended to be more loyal to their generals wasn't because they were allowed to join while poor. It was because the Senate refused to pay beyond the bare minimum, so the onus on making sure the soldiers got more than a glorified laborers wage was on the general.

That eulogy had me crying I've been subbed since the plymouth video this is your best work by far

Thank you! Have been eagerly waiting, the humor you bring into these are on a different level 😂

Interesting the different way you covered Cicero’s moment in the sun, but love how much you made Cato hate Ceasar’s guts

I just watched all the videos on this channel over the last few days and love it. I wonder when we are getting part to 2 to this one though?

Come on man! The best i've ever seen!!!!!! You MUST, you MUST make the second part for the love of all that's good please!!! I beg you! Keep up the great work man

Managed to just stumble on your channel. Absolutely brilliant work mate keep it up!

Awww, Caesar was nice and kind to his pirate buddies. He had their throats slit when he crucified them, so instead of a long, agonizing and degrading death, it's just a degrading death.

This was history like I've never heard before. Looking forward to the other videos on your channel...!

I HOPE THIS CHANNEL BLOWS UP I LOVE HISTORY AND THIS WILL BE SO ENTERTAINING AND EDUCATIONAL

Great video. Look forward to seeing this channel expand!

"We're practicing our, uh uh, downhill skiing'. LOL!!!!

Don’t you mean how Julius Caesar became *A CONSUL OF ROME?!*

Great video! Child voice actor was fantastic! (Everyone was)

Im so glad I found this channel from VTH, I can’t stop watching your videos, these are great

I love this channel I can’t stop watching the videos :)

0:44 had me actually laughing. Keep up the great work my dude.

BWAHAHAHA love the Roman joke in Latin on the wall during the "Gold Plated Lion" scene. BRAVO! (and the response is funny, too)

Drawnofhistory! Where is the sequel??!?

just came across your channel. excellent content, 5/5 ❤

This channel is on par with oversimplified. keep going!

Awesome video, thank you

Loooooove your stuff keep it up you'll have a huge following eventually. It's kinda criminal you don't yet.

Subscribed!!!

Oh my lord is that your kid doing the voice acting, I love that so much ❤

Well I guess you're back and I can't wait to watch this

Please!!! Do another episode, this blew my mind

@DrawnofHistory LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent video.

This video was a treat!

Wheres part 2? I was so invested 😢

This channel is criminally underrated

That side story about King Nicomedes reminded me about my favorite nickname for Caesar. "Every Woman's Man and Every Man's Woman"

how have i just found this channel when i watch other history videos?! 👏🏻

Good stuff

Pt 2 when? Also how are you at just 20k subs? The quality and humor should have netted you at least a couple hundred k by now

Thanks!

Caesar recitind Low in tragic dramatic way! Smooth! Really smooth! 😁😁

Just found the Chanel but love the Rome content!

Another great and pretty accurate video

Ok. It’s official. This is my new favorite RU-vid channel!

I love this channel.

I need more videos from this guy

This is hilarious! I’m surprised it took this to pop up on my feed

Fantastic

you are damn perfect brother please never quit

“I don’t wanna bone my mother, I want to bone the world!” *STARTS HUMPING THE GROUND…TO COMPLETION*

Love the Mr beat guest role 👏👏👏

Firstly, a lot of those roman names on the "kill list" seemed oddly familiar. Hmmm- Secondly; My dude, you deserve at least one million subs more. At least! Your quality is insane and I am just waiting for the algorithm to pick you up. I feel like it was sheer luck I found you when I did! Been a fan since I found your first video roughly a month after it was uploaded. Keep up the fantastic work!

11:56 14:39 Caesar absolutely destroying Cato is the funniest thing here😂

These videos are great, i hope you get millions of subsribers and become a big youtube channel

This channel is really underrated, hopefully one day the algorithm Gods will be happy and help your channel, I guess?

Can't find a part 2, has this been made?

I was expecting a manscaped ad with the stinky balls joke

13:15 I know this vid is from a year ago but I hope your analytics has gotten better because you deserve it! I’ll do my part 😭👐🏻

This is it lads. Watch this channel fuckingn explode in the next year

"the odor of a cats dung-crusted butt" LMFAO. Masterfully done sir

The guest voices are neat. I instantly recognized Mr. Beat. :)

Couldn’t help but think of “That’s a technical foullll” from 8 Crazy Nights in the beginning proscription list lol

I can’t believe you made mr beat in this channel because I watched him

New upload :0

Nice video. Gave me a laugh or two.

Shortie got Low Low Low Low Low 😂 I’m dying!! 😂😂😂

Amazingly underrated channel. Only found it via VTH.

Remember boys, when Drawn of HIstory gets to 100k subs he will make Caesar Part 2

I thought Ceaser spares his pirate captors the torture of being crucified since they got along well, in that he had them all beheaded instead. I could very well be wrong but I know I've read and heard that a few times. Then again it was so long ago who really knows.

Nice

"Talk like a Cicilian Pirate Day" Lol.

How does this channel not have a hundred million subscribers yet

The humor of this channel is severely underrated 😂

Apple bottom jeans Boots with the fur She hit the floor Next thing you know Shawty got low

this was hilarious !

Proscripting the senate canoe? Oh you better believe that's a proscriting.

What is your favorite TV or film adaptation of Caesar?

Good old Marcus Calpurnius Bibulus at it again. We will watch his career with great interest

this whole video, I was waiting for one of your famous not-sponsored sponsor breaks. but it didn't happen! you just like toying with me at this point, don't you?
