    In this Epic Moments of Roman History Documentary we examine the amazing life of Julius Caesar. We begin with his upbringing during the end of the Roman Republic and the dictator Sulla who forced young Julius Caesar to flee for his life from the proscriptions. Caesar then joins the Roman army to fight in the Mithridatic Wars before returning to Rome to take up his political career. During this time he travels to asia for studies but is intercepted by pirates. Julius Caesar then survives several weeks of captivity, returning to crucify his captors as he had promised. After this harrowing event, Julius Caesar begins his advance up the cursus honorum. Eventually he enters into an alliance with Pompey and Crassus to form the First Triumvirate. Caesar then becomes Consul in 59 BC and heads off to Gaul the following year.
    Julius Caesar now begins one of the most famous chapters of Ancient History by leading the Roman Army in the Gallic Wars. Culminating in the siege of Alesia, the roman general returns home a victor. However much of the senate is opposed to his return which leads to Caesar crossing the Rubicon under arms and starting the Roman civil war. The rest of our documentary on Julius Caesar then follows the major events of this conflict including the battle of Dyrrhachium, the battle of Pharsalus, the battle of Alexandria, the Battle of Thapsus, and the Battle of Munda among many others.
    Finally, we conclude the 9 lives of Julius Caesar with his death on the ides of march before the senate. We hope you enjoyed this educational history documentary on Julius Caesar and the Epic Moments in History. For more detailed videos on his career and the Roman Republic I highly recommend Historia Civilis on RUclips.

      The destruction of catapults can't be compared to those of modern artillery.
      Siege weapons back in the day would at most knock out defensive elements of a wall. It wouldn't take them down entirely, so it still in effect serving the purpose of keeping the attackers out.
      Modern artillery would demolish even the most powerful walls well within a few days at most.
      That's why castles and fortifications were so prominent prior to WW1. During WW1 fortification quickly fell out of favor because of modern artillery.

      It was also to drive home the fact that his family was wealthy enough to have them hunted down and killed if they didn't keep their end of the bargain....and when he was released, he promptly returned with an army and showed them he wasn't bluffing.
      When Ceaser said "raise it to 50 talons" and his family accepted the offer that was the modern day equivalent of "My Dad is a Mafia Boss"....they should have begged for his forgiveness and put him on the first boat to Rome and run for their lives.

      And yet it seems that nobody, modern or ancient, deem it necessary to question Alexander the Great's campaign of pure brutal slaughter from the Mediterranean coast to India - he is invariably presented and regarded as merely the great General and conqueror. His highly questionable treatment of vanquished peoples are generally overlooked by the same people who damn Caesar to hell for what he did in Gaul, to warrior tribes who would have done the exact same thing to Roman civilians had they been the victors. Funny that nobody ever criticises the twenty thousand Roman civilians murdered in cold blood by the Gauls in what became modern day Orleans at the start of the final Gallic uprising !

      Or maybe it wouldn’t ... Rome did successfully take Ctesiphon several times without being able to secure its conquests more than a year ... several times
      Btw : do you know how many emperors died while either : preparing a campaign against Persia; travelling towards Persia to invade or actually campaigning in Persia? Seems like it happened to one emperor out of two (Trajan; Caracalla; septimus alexander; valentinian; Aurelian; a bunch of other third century crisis emperors nobody remembers; Julian; etc ...) maybe Persian magicians knew what they were doing after all ...

It was actually named for the verb meaning ''to cut'', which could possibly be the origin of Caesar's name, as his ancestor (another Julius) was born via C-Section. So, it was CAESAR'S FAMILY that were named after the procedure, not the other way round. If you're going to big-up a documentary, try doing so with one that sticks to actual history

    A good summation if a little rushed at times but you only had limited time.
    It seems extraordinary that such a meticulous person as Caesar would get so sloppy in March 44 BC.
    He did away with his personal bodyguard, relying instead on the vow of the Senate to protect him. That's crazy.
    And then to have over 60 conspirators, many of them enemies he'd forgiven, others mediocre malcontents and generals like Trebonius and his best friend, Domitius Brutus, conspire to murder him, and he didn't find out almost belies belief.
    It sounds convenient but it is reported that he and Domitius Brutus dined the night before and discussed the best way to die. Caesar said a sudden and unexpected death would be his choice . Well he got his wish.
    As for Domitius, he payed with his life as did all the conspirators and the murder changed nothing because Caesar's grand nephew and heir, Octavian became Rome's first Emperor.
