👇 Push down for more cool stuff 👇

📖 Caesar's Civil War (49–45 BC), was one of the last politico-military conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire. The war was a four-year-long politico-military struggle, fought in Italy, Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Africa, and Hispania. In a series of battles over the years, Caesar defeated his enemies (the Optimates) and became Dictator for life. The changes to Roman government eliminated the political traditions of the Roman Republic (509–27 BC) and led to the Roman Empire (27 BC–AD 476).

The story of Caesar and Labienus was almost a Shakespearean tragedy, yet so often overlooked. Nowadays most people refer to Mark Antony as Caesar's close friend, or even Brutus, but I think none of them ever reached Labienus' status. Likely, had he stayed loyal to Caesar, he would've been Caesar's political heir. They knew each other for a long time. They were of the same age, close friends, and stalwart political allies. Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, Labienus agreed to accompany Caesar as his lieutenant when Caesar became governor of Cisalpine Gaul, llyricum, and Transalpine Gaul. For a whole decade, they conquered Gaul together. Nobody knew for sure the true reason why Labienus turned against Caesar. Perhaps his cause was altruistic and he chose to stay loyal to the idea of the Republic, or maybe he resented that he would never receive the credit he thought he deserved if he kept on serving under Caesar despite being a general of the same caliber. From the bits and pieces of history gathered, it seemed that the two men held sentiments for each other still even after they became enemies. When Labienus left, he could've brought Caesar's legions with him, but he didn't. When Caesar learned of his friend's defection, Caesar sent his belongings to him. Over the course of the civil war, Caesar would extend many olive branches which Labienus refused. Labienus knew Caesar too well, and the knowledge likely played a large role in his initial victory. After the battle of Munda, Caesar sent his soldiers to search the battlefield for Labienus' body, then buried his old friend with full honors on a field outside of Munda. Despite being the victor, Caesar died only a year later after Labienus. It's really sad to think about.

The 10th legion is the true MVP of this series.

What’s better than a video about Caesar ?
Five videos about Caesar

It's astonishing how fast the Romans could build and dismantle their camps.
I think, that the craftmanship of the soldiers is often overlooked because of the intelligent war tactics.
Both is very respectable.

When Caesar's men disobeyed orders and charged, and Caesar decided to charge with them... Wow. What an incredible leader.

The centurion that had over 200 holes in his shield from arrows, Caesar awarded him the same amount of Roman copper coins as holes.

Also it’s interesting to note that Caesar was essentially broke after seizing Italia, even with the gold from Pompey’s former coffers, he had to borrow money from his officers to pay his legions, still in this state without hesitation his veteran legions followed him into Greece into some truly horrible conditions. Really paints a picture of how influential Caesar was

Pompeiians: “Ha! We have you outnumbered!”

Caesar’s 10th Legion: “Allow us to introduce ourselves.”

[Grasslander]

"Caesar, in Spain the enemy are 70, 000. You've had full control of Rome for years. How about THIS time bring more troops?"
"Hell no, we're going in with 48.000. And most of them new recruits."
"But...."
"What, too many?"

Freshman: "BUT THEY'RE UP ON THE HILL AND WE ARE OUTNUMBERED, HOW THE MARS WE CAN WIN THIS?"
10th Legion Vet: "Watch me!"

From an outcast patrician of a once glorious family to being on a proscription list to being captured by pirates to conquering Gaul to being demonized by his own allies to becoming the first Roman Dictator for life. The life this man had is truly mindblowing, and he is the most inspiring person i could think of. Unbelievable character. If his life was out of a movie people would say that the story is too unrealistic.

[neddhu]

This guy shaped much of the world we live in today. Without him there is no Octavian and no Roman Empire. Such a badass who understood the power of example to the morale of the troops... and what an asset is that your army is also a corps of engineers. That double wall against Alessia... brilliance at his finest.

An hour and a half of this?




It’s like Christmas morning

Julius Caesar had one of the most creative mindsets. But also clever, insightful and thoughtful. Always forward-looking, very bright and sharp.

Now here's something i really like to thank you guys for: thanks to this channel i am able to sleep at night again. I loved your videos from the beginning, when i had no sleeping problems of course. But as i developed some sort of sleeping problems cause my head just didnt stop thinking and i would have been awake like almost all night every time, this channel was the key for me to find sleep again. Listening to history march calms me down so much. My head finally started to rest again. Believe me, if you cant sleep and your thoughts just go wild throughout all the night, thats no fun at all. Logically youve got a lack of energy all the upcoming day. Im really interessted in roman history and stuff but this is some special thanks to you guys, cause you were the reason i could rest again for many times. Love your work in many ways. Just thank you.

just have to love his reverse psychology, "its ok lads, I don't need you to win this war, you just go home" :)
