The Story Of Julius Caesar's Murder | Tony Robinson's Romans: Julius Caesar Pt 2 | Timeline 

@Just being honest )

After the churrch urning their back on him, labeling him names of falsified information, he was so close. Gaius.Julius Caesar dismantling of the churches and strip bishops and priest off their immunity will immortalized his name, it will surpass Alexander the great himself.

I came I saw I read Jenny Jenkins....👍

No one? You are wrong. I read it. Very nice descriptive addition.

Just call me "No One", because I read it! Well-said, by the way.

I read, thank you for sharing. 🙂

I read it😁👍🏻

@Celto LocoAre you stupid or what ?

At what price!

Seasons how

lol

Real life right there 😂

Sir David Attenborough for nature documentaries. Sir Tony Robinson for history documentaries.

So true! He really is an absolute gem!

I'm sure glad this is Tony Robinson and not Tony Robbins

Tony Robinson was and will always be Baldrick and it's who we named our cat after 😁

Sir Tony is an Icon.

I second that! Awsome indeed!

its bbc nothing is free fom them lol

I like your comment and name Mr. Swaggins.

Same

I enjoyed the content

There was that...and the cancellation of WINGS.

I disagree, the library contained all the tax records. The burning of the library destroyed all the tax records.

Nah mate cancelling firefly after one season was the worst thing to ever happen.

The library was already much reduced in importance by Caesar's time, and in fact survived the "accidental" burning which occurred during the civil war. It wasn't fully destroyed until around 415AD the same time as Cyril's mob followers murdered Hypatia.

@@jack18over The second worse thing was not bringing it back when other less worthy shows were brought back. Idiots deserve to be thrown to the Reavers.

@Abu Misir What makes this bozo such an "expert" anyway? He's read some books about Romans?

I saw him in the "who dares wins" stage show years ago. He came out stark naked with only a small hat over his genitals and stuck the hat in the face of a woman in the audience. What a disgusting, odious little man.

​@@HO-bndk . He has never said he was an expert. He's an actor and television presenter. The researchers would be the history experts. His expertise is in the presentation, to put things in simpler terms with a good voice, in a way that doesn't lose the public as an expert historian might. He plays the non-expert, deliberately, in Time Team and we learn from the experts through him. Expertly propelling Time Team and other shows into massive hits. So your comment isn't backed by reality. Bozo boomerang yourself.

I adore him.

Paul O here here👍🏾👍🏾

How is it stolen it would have been copyright striked

Tony is one of the most underrated British documentarist but the truth is that This man is a true blessing for his category and at the same level than David Attenborough!

yes,you are very simple.Hopefully no one give a thumbs up for your pthetic comment.

It was the 13th my friend

@@sylvamoise5788 The whole Right had that perspective. It was not quite as divided in America as right now, but it was pretty close. The difference was we didn't have conspiracy theories twisting the truth so actively. It's a bummer.

@@WillowTDog It takes vast bipartisan support for a president to launch a major war involving 100,000+ troops being moved halfway around the world in the 20th/21st century, and there's usually many reasons and objectives for doing so (besides the standard packaged Cassus Belli PR for the public). Congress also has to vote on whether to go to war, and is the one to declare war. I believe it was a Democratic majority senate in 2002-2003 until 2006(I may have that backwards. I don't remember), and they by and large voted for the war, publicly supported it, and for whatever reasons wanted it. There were also a few democrats and republicans that voted against it. It's just like Caesar. If you read his commentary on the Gallic Wars, he produces a Cassus Belli for nearly every action he takes, every tribe he campaigns against, and every campaign season, whether it be "Suebi invading Gaul and destabilizing the region!" or "Germania was clearly supporting Ambiorix's rebellion!" or "The Britons are clearly behind all this Gallic resistance!I" and I'm sure the public took all this justifications at face value. Maybe it's all true, but with hindsight, we know that's not why Caesar launched the war.

Who is not with me is against me! Said Jesus - is that logical thinking?

Wouldn't "Hail, Antony" be more appropriate?lol

You kept count?

I don't think he was a tyrant at all and he returned to Rome with a lot of gold & war treasures & Caesar felt bad and wanted to help the homeless, the poor and hungry. He gave them gold and money so that they could take care of themselves and get food.. he didn't just give this stuff to win favor, but he gave it to them because he loved Rome and the Roman people and he wanted them to be better cared for.. that's why he became dictator... He was really too forgiving for those that came to him asking for forgiveness.. those people ended up stabbing him in the back, literally.. his great nephew, Augustus Octavian, ended up outwitting the Senate and eventually outwitting Marc Anthony. He went after Mark Anthony because Anthony went out to the part of Rome and Egypt that he was supposed to control and maintain and keep order.. he got with Cleopatra and was doing drugs and doing everything he could to starve the people in Rome because he was supposed to be sending them green and he wasn't... Augustus Octavian Caesar went after him. Octavian was named as Julius Caesar's heir in his will because he didn't have any biological sons and he did have a nephew and a very very intelligent nephew. Augustus was made counsul. By outsmarting the head senator. 😂😂😅 It was absolutely hilarious and how Octavian did this because he was probably 20 years old or so when he did it. Brutus and Sessius had what was coming to them when Augusta is Octavian went after them. It was just really really sad because these are loved Brutus like a son and Brutus was the youngest and part of the conspiracy to assassinate Caesar.. they all got what was coming to them and they did whether it was by taking their own lives, die fighting Octavian and or Marc Anthony, even the people in Rome really admired Mark Anthony until he went off to Egypt for so many years and caused many of their people to starve because he wasn't sending them the grain that they were needing to buy. Years prior Julius Caesar told Cleopatra that he would protect her militarily as long as Rome could purchase as much brain as they needed from Egypt and it was an agreement between them. Marc Anthony ruined that when he went to Egypt to be with Cleopatra. .

@@montrelouisebohon-harris7023 Notice the Senate didn't give Gaul back to the Celtics and the Druids. They were totally in favor of JC's ambitions when they suited the Senate's... Hypocrisy, table for one...

Read or listen to Michael Parenti's "The Assassination Of Julius Caesar" Parenti describes Caesar as a man of the people who died for the reforms he was making to help the people. The ruling class hated him for altering their hold on the wealth of Rome. The audiobook is on RU-vid.

Ikr? I loved reading those comics as a kid in Nigeria and they were one of my first introduction to Roman history. Plus, they were absolutely hilarious😂😂

These Romans are crazy

Good old infrared. One of the most underrated wavelengths on the colour spectrum. If Caesar has access to infrared back in the day, he'd have seen Brutus coming.

It wasn't that long ago.

Hear hear!

@@jenjen.rutherford8559 the guy who allowed caesar to beat pompeii in greece?

Right?!

Marc Anthony was mentioned as a friend of his early in part one (I think)

Yeah, word....Cotton.

Dictators have always used such propaganda to promote their personal agendas and vendettas. Or as in caesars case, to *also* avoid prosecution for his crimes. It's no different than reading twitter in America today.

Blackadder!

Wibble!

😂😂

A Cracus crisis?

Wheres rubicon

True, but I still think what Hannibal almost succeeded in doing was more impressive...

Stekar Knugen nice bit of propaganda for the plebs back home, even though in reality it was a gift from the gods, he would have had to pardon Pompey which would have left Pompey embittered and a head for Republicans to gather around. With Pompey's murder by Egyptians he could pose as a truly constitutional Roman, Killing the killers of a consul. It would have played brilliantly to Caesar's favourite themes of superiority and justice.

Octavian Caesar Hibernicus in retrospect it all looks like Fate the way things turned out, but there were so many incidences along the way in Julius Caesar’s life that could’ve easily turned the other way and we’ll never know what the results would have been without his transformation of Rome.

WanderingSkunk man I tried to make that argument before, but here's the thing, things did go his way, it's a bit pointless to say "well he could have easily lost at pharsalus", but he didn't lose, he kept on winning. And there's a good possibility he saw other themes from myth playing out,his ancestor Aeneas famously had a dalliance with Dido the Queen of Carthage before heading on to Rome. Caesar and the Queen of Egypt. That and a relentless winning streak. He probably began to believe he was a god. There was a re altering of his bloodline, injecting Mars into it aswell, this was meant to be a trend in the later years of the Republic.

Octavian Caesar Hibernicus There could be a bit of Determinism at play in the sense that the conditions of the moment played a role in Caesar’s rise, if it was not one Roman General with political power and the support of his own Army it could’ve been another.

Octavian Caesar Hibernicus: I would take issue with your saying, "Caesar's favorite themes of superiority and justice. " Caesar's principal motivations were "auctoritas" & "dignitas." Gaining and holding on to the "imperium" as well as consulship allowed Caesar to both lead armies, gain wealth and fame, control Roman politics, and of course forgive former enemies. This "forgiveness" was really the ultimate loss of dignitas for his enemies who would now become beholding to him under the traditional Roman system of patronage. Some of his enemies like Cato even admitted not all his laws and achievements were bad. But they hated the man more than they valued their lives - or so it seems to me. There is little evidence the populis ever backed the Republicans. So, especially after Pharsalus, their only hope was a dramatic victory which only became less and less likely. Yet they would not give up even though Caesar would've "forgave" many of them. Almost all died. But more were killed by their own hand or on the field of battle than were ever killed by Caesar. How many politicians today would rather die then lose? It's interesting to consider. Thank for your remarks. Reply

His friends: He's too dangerous to be kept alive

I didn't love that. Why is a woman's looks always supposed to e her paramount feature?

"A wiggle in the walk. A giggle in the talk. Makes the world go 'round!"

I would also try to explain deeply what captivated Ceasar in Cleopatra, she spoke few languages fluently, raised in Alexandria culture field... and her brave appearance speaks itself. And later on she unfortunately paid too much 🤕

I think being Queen helped a bit. Plenty of bowsers who marry good looking and wealthy men.

It was a sound decision--the Romans didn't have food to spare and were about to be besieged themselves. Caesar wasn't about to let his decade long campaign in Gaul fail by feeding civilians.

That's history... No modern sensibilities...

If he let them out, it would have given the opportunity of the others to come in and probably give them intel on the battle.

SNP1999. Always historically correct ! I'm not sure . Julius Caesar never became emperor.

And "the last throw of the dice."

And ..the die is cast

Yes it was

Yahsureyabetcha!

Don't spoil it by mentioning the germans

@Allmachts Daggl : What people are _called_ is not always what they are _named._ That is why those words are used by those who know the difference. He was in fact _called_ Caesarion, although that is not what he was _named._ Tony was correct is his usage of the word _called_ in this case.

I'll have to remember that next time I meet him

@@rascallyrabbit717 you better do, he is very upset if you call him caesarion. It has never happened that i called him like that and he was happy about it.

Cleopatra was a Macedonian Greek. The Greeks ruled Egypt from the time of Alexander the Great through Cleopatra. She was the progeny of Ptolomy, one of Alexander's greatest generals and close friends.

To have a person who knew what he was doing killed by people who didn't is a great injustice to a culture of merit.

he's the best

Anik Samiur Rahman YES! He is one of my favorite ancient romans

Yes yes, that one, the first one.

They all were given the Title even until Diocletian of Augustus I believe, with the heir being named Caesar. And at his rise to Princeps his name was Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus. And is most certainly my favourite individual in all of Roman History however unlucky his succession plans were haha he at least planned for succession extensively!

@Fred Smith that title actually subsisted until Constatinople fell to the ottomans. But whenever people say Augustus there's only one person in their mind, the one person whose legacy ensured others would inherit his highest title and even make his own name a title.

@@NinjazInside Tiberius wasn't all that bad, as a statesman, but he clearly wasn't who Augustus had in mind for a first choice.

Was Vercingetorix the inspiration for Asterix?

Vercingetorix was in the Asterix comix. Getafix was the druid.

The current President has made such a hash-up of his presidency that there will be a huge Republican majority in Congress come the 2022 election.

@@warrengwonka2479 Yeah, and foolish comments like that I'm sure will likewise be referenced in future history books. Americans like you who say stupid things like that are what make your country an international laughingstock to the rest of us throughout the rest of the world already. And we won't forget. Just like we'll never forget what a pathetic excuse for a leader Mango Mussolini proved to be.. At least we can see the current president is a vast improvement on the last.

i had no commercials whatsoever.

i got tons of commercial but the way i look at it there's still alot less commercials than if I'd watched on demand or on TV. You can skip most of these after a few seconds instead of having to sit through full 1-2 minute ads on demand or 5 minute ad blocks on TV. This is one of the few places i've found good quality video for shows like this streaming so its worth it seeing a few ads vs watching this at 144p with compressed garbled sound

You get what you pay for, and ads are our way of paying for quality media.

There was a documentary that speculated he was practically committing suicide...
