Out of the box literally

Caesar was playing fortnite.

"Sir, the enemies building walls around our fortifications!" "Ready the men to assault the enemy's walls" "Yes, S-" "...so we have more time to build a wall around _their_ wall!" "Sir?" "But, now that I say that, what if the enemy builds another wall around our wall?" "..." "Do we even have the wood to build those many walls?" "[leaves tent]" "I've got it! *Ceilings!* Hmph, and they said I couldn't think 'outside the box' ..."

Amazing

Luckily they have water for that sick burn

Back then an untreated burn could kill!

If untreated, it can still kill today

Said the guy who just lost a battle

USA and CSA during the American Civil War too were racing to see who dig their trenches the fastest. Grants failed attack in the Crater, Lee’s line broken through at a weak section to the south of Petersburg. The parallels ard quite stunning.

Mike D,it really is 😂😂😂

... after the trench war of WW1, that is. I could only think of WW1 when watching that, really. Let's build the Maginot Line!, let's build the whatever-name German anti-Maginot Line!, let's declare war!, let's march through neutral Belgium!, let's dig trenches!, let's dig counter-trenches!, let's bomb them with poison gas!, etc. Four years like that and the lines almost didn't move at all...

No it’s a civil wall

True.

Holdin McGroin Pompey the Great? More like Pompey the Loser.

Pompey was a pretty good general, of the triumvrate it was Crassus who was the useless one.

But Crassus had dat doe doe

SantomPh Crassus took out Spartacus

SantomPh From what I can ascern, Pompey was a capable general, but far, far from a great general. That's just my opinion though so it don't mean shiat.

'Nah' - Crassus

+Tjalling Appelhof No wonder he lost his head 😂

"Wha?" -Bibulus

+GodDamnSeaslugs Lmao win

"And make Mexico pay for it"

There's no way bibulus wasn't assassinated. A pointless negotiation is an excellent cover for an assassination plot. Bibulus wasn't going to give anything, but his men were more than ready to.

It's not _that_ dissimilar from how a lot of* ancient-world diplomacy worked. It works better when you enter negotiations after beating the other guy up, which makes Bibilus's use of it here unorthodox. *Obviously not all, but it's a theme I see in a lot of classical civilizations. They were terrible at diplomacy because they expected the other side to give up concessions with little to no compensation.

@@josephjagusah8668 So, in modern words, they fragged him.

MrDrRalph Precisely!

When the legions starting doing that all I could think of was they were mooning them from across the river.

Caesarion: I fart in your general direction! Pompeyan: your mother was a hamster, and your father smelt of elderberries!

*everyone doing the Macarena to taunt*

*longer

10 pedes higher

Why not both? *holds up little Mexican girl and everyone cheers*

Caesar: make the pompeyan, pay for it

When I got to that part I was dying. Nice to see a little humor amidst all the action!

Wha?

Huh?

LOLLOLLOLLOLL

underrated

Finally I found people who share my fetishes

Spiffy Brit Ben Thompson did a really good job of explaining the attack by Pompeys legion on the 700 men on badassoftheweek under Caesars toughest or best centurion. This guy in command of those men sustained several life threatening injuries, killed so many guys that it dulled his sword, cut a guys head and arm off with a blow from his dagger and crushed another's skull with a rock. When the two enemy commanders came out to offer terms he killed them both He somehow survived and continued to serve in the legions

Same thing happened in the last governor’s election in Georgia

@@davidanderson7782 Everyone always beats me to it, goddammit.

@@rasterbate87 Yeah the governor of Georgia didnt oversee and manipulate his own election. Stfu

@@DeathBone4656 uhm, yeah he did. Brian Kemp was secretary of state, i.e. the guy overseeing the election. And Kemp held up more than 50,000 voter registrations (for really minor stuff like a missing hyphen or apostrophe), fought tooth and nail to outlaw people from "repairing" their mail in ballots when the signatures didn't match 100% (normal signatures look different every time, especially after the passing of 5-30 years) . He also was the only one who refused Homeland's securities help in protecting their election from hacking, was sued for having the weakest hacking security AND he published a headline on the secretary of state website claiming " AFTER FAILED HACKING ATTEMPT, SOS LAUNCHES INVESTIGATION INTO GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY" That's published on the website which voters use to get reliable information about the election... And there's so much more. And unlike Trump's lies and accusations those things actually happened and there's a mountain of evidence for it.

True! Except for maybe The World Wars.

I've probably listened to his entire catalogue at least 3 times over the years. I usually put on a playlist while I'm sick or otherwise off my feet.

Finally finished the civil war arc. What a saga it was

nah

Krommer1000 I wish HBO’s Rome didn’t die off. Good series, least I thought so.

Agreed, great series. But for the actual history of what happened rather than a drama about what happened, it'd be Historia Civilis.

read a book then

audaces fortuna iuvat well I am...kinda. “Clash of Empires” Focus’ more on the war between Philip V and Galba and Flamminius but in has characters that are just regular soldiers so you get to...well not see but imagine the battles. Very good, even has the battle of Zama in it.

Well, I bet "you" would feel even more betrayed if Labienus would have led the legions, or part of them against Caesar. He followed his heart, who can blame him for that?

If Caesar just told him beforehand maybe he won't switch sides :(

Top ten anime breakups

I respect and admire Caesar more than any historic figure. But he was the villain, no doubt about that. He was literally tearing the Republic apart. Labeinus, regardless of what his true intentions were, sided with the Republic. Some would argue that the Republic's time was long due, but that's a different discussion. He brought its demise.

I think Labienus was feeling that he was betrayed by Caesar.

प्रियदर्शी a consul of Rome, to die in this sordid way, quartered like some low thief, shame!

I loved how Rex Harrison played that scene in Cleopatra.

So true about the end theme music. Love it so much

agreed

Ceasar could win any battle just by building stuff. And if he didn't win, it was because he didn't build enough stuff, hence the defeat at Dyrrhachium. They say Rome wasn't build in a day, but I'd say Ceasar's legions could have done it in 7-8 days tops.

"I AM GOING TO BUILD A WALL!" Caesar, 48 BC "I AM GOING TO BUILD A WALL!" Pompey, 48 BC Roman elections were lacking originality, but at least they agreed on some things ^^

@@yuhyuh5674 and Pompey paid for it.

@@davidweikle9921 - Gaius Julius Caesar 48 BCE

Xia Jiang Also, now they didn't owe him any favour

Didn't they present Pompey's head decapitated? And didn't Caesar get incredibly angry and even cried at his death for the Egyptians to present it as a gift? This video is missing some valuable information. Unless it's historically incorrect.

He didn't get to that part yet. Next video.

Ya ceasar wanted to pardon Pompey at the end of the war to show his good will and win the Roman people

strategically speaking, it was to the benefit of Caesar that this happened, as he would have needed to pardon Pompey to not look like a blood thirsty dictator, however he would have to bring his most powerful political opponent back to Rome and watch him constantly. plus it gave him an excuse to put Cleopatra in power thus making the Egyptian kingdom more allied to him personally then to Rome itself. That being said any roman would judge Caesar pretty harshly if he did a jig when presented with the head of a roman consul by a subject supposedly loyal to Rome...Caesar also possessed both empathy and foresight, he knew that could easily be him if the war had gone the other way and wanted to impress upon all its subjects that roman citizens were only subject to roman law and would be tried/sentenced by Romans...as most considered the roman legal system the core principal of the nation and believed it was what set them apart from the "barbarian kingdoms" thus it would make sense for Caesar to act sad and pissed, even if he wasn't.

Arthur Fretheim Yeah but Augustus was successful. Bibulus was not a winner as Julius Caesar would put it.

More like lost to a gerrymandered system. As far as votes went, she won, it's just that in the US, some votes count less than others.

All politician plays the game. In fact, in all countries, some votes count less than others. Mdm Hillary had all the cards, unfortunately for her, arrogance brought her down.

"That state thing" is not about "land area", it's actually really about people. The consensus decide the rest of the votes after the 3 per state is distributed. That's why California has the most electors or representatives with 55. It remains an important state to win. The issue with representation based entirely on population is it will favour the city dwellers who are more numerous than rural folks. The people living in small, remote communities will suffer further isolation. It's always a trade off for another, in order to give more voice to the people living in the countryside, the people in the city share of the vote has to be cut. You might think that people in the countryside shouldn't matter because they don't contribute to the economy enough and all I can say is: maybe that mindset made the Democrats lost to the worst candidate in US election history.

The way you are being so defensive, saying I'm projecting views while mentioning: "because they live in those lands, why does it mean they should have more political power than a person living in a more populated area" is quite confirming "my projection". I'm not saying the system is by any mean perfect but it is to a certain extend being fair by letting the smaller population have more voices in how the country is run at the expense of the more populous states. If you live in a small state it is a blessing and vice versa. Montana only has 1 million people so it gets 3 minimum votes and 2 senators, California gets 55 and 2 senators because it has 40 million people. Of course, that means that one million people living in California has larger voice than 1 million people living in Montana and while the ratio wise the difference is large, the reality is the 5 seats in Montana are not worth considered to the candidates than the ones in swing states. If you based your voting on population alone, large population centers with more concentration of money and mass media will control a lot more influence on politics than they already had. You might want to try to sympathize with people living in smaller states where business opportunity is limited and their culture eroded by larger states. I won't discuss whether or not these cultures are worth keeping, but while the system is not fair, it is functional enough. The UK electoral system is as broken and frankly no system in the world is perfect. We can implement more progressive system such as proportional representation which on paper brings complete fairness but in practice obligated unity within the government like what happened in the last days of Weimar. Each system has its own advantage and disadvantage, the best we can do is to pick our poison.

Sadly not every people group were as irritating as the Romans to write down and log everything. But they sort of had to do this, because controlling the whole Mediterranean in a time where letters on paper were the only source of accurate intelligence and accounting. Too bad that personal greed got in the way again and again and again.

Good point indeed.

Trevor Rogers check his patreon out!

aw yeah I'm totally getting all up in that

Ptolemy XIII killed Pompey because he wanted to give his head as a gift to Caesar (to try and appease him and win his support) it didn't worked.

Caesar was disgusted by it apparently.

Caesar was not just outraged because you know: "consul of Rome, blah-blah" but mostly because he was all the time trying to gain support among his enemies, not to kill them. He was a softie and that's why he ended up being mass-stabbed by all the enemies he pardoned and whose favor he tried to vie for. He should have read Machiavelli (well, OK, that's an anachronism, but still...)

HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME :(

Joseph R. Biden it's a banger!

blueknight1706 he had a great military career and was called adulescens carnifex (adolescent butcher) when he was young

The ride never ends I know why he was a great general, I just like his videos and the way he formats things, so I’d just like a video on Pompey

Pompey first supported Sulla with an army of his own and defeated Marius remaining supporters, for which he was rewarded with a triumph, then he retook spain from Quintus Sertorius and defeated the King of Pontus, creating a new province and he took the remainder of the seleucid empire and he conquered the Nabateans.

Jacob Garrison And mine is the most relaxing on RU-vid. Beat that.

No, before Pharsalus Caesar was in a really bad spot, had the senate not pushed Pompey into attacking, Caesar could have just starved without Pompey losing more men than necessary. Pompey made a big mistake by letting Caesar escape after the battle of Dyrrachium though.

I believe it's John Paul Jones' words: "It seems to be a law of nature that those who will not risk cannot win"

so many enemys of rome made the same mistake attack rome when you have the momentum guys dont wait for them to pull a zama/pharsalus

Militarily it made good sense to starve him out. Politically and religiously though, it was considered poor form not to crush your enemy in open battle. The republic died from the vanity of the old guard

Fun fact: that’s exactly what the absolute ruler at that time would have wanted anybody to believe…truth or not but every good PR agent would have said the same 🤷🏼‍♂️😂

@@Das_Kaenguru considering how insane is his real life story - I wouldn't dismiss it so quickly as a PR move. Especially since we know, that he died only because he was way too lenient with his enemies - which we all know how it turned out. Whether you admire him or hate him - it cannot be overstated, how hard he tried to avoid bloodshed of his noble prisoners and win them over with pardons. A mistake that Augustus learnt on and did not hesitate to kill everyone who was against him.
