Finally An Honest Video On Julius Caesar

  • Ok here we go... Gaius Julius Caesar. The Roman... emperor? Consul? Dictator? God? I mean when I started this video, I know this was going to be an epic, but a 45 minute video? Come on... I didn't expect that. But Julius Caesar is simply that dude. The guy single-handedly jump-started the Roman Empire, which, at the time of his ascension was still the Roman Republic. So why is it, that Gaius Julius Caesar was able to completely change the trajectory of an a republic that was entirely set in its ways?
    That's what I want to explore in this Julius Caesar biography, and yes, I do apologize that I just used the word 'explore'.... point is: I want to talk about Julius Caesar. Period. And after that... maybe I want to talk about some other Roman emperors, but let's start with the man himself, the man they call Imperator, the man the Romans declared a God, and the man whose name was adopted by every Roman emperor since, and even by rulers outside of ome:
    Episode 4 Of 'Blood: The Period(s) Of Conquerors - Imperator Gaius Jules Caesar
    Notes:
    Man... history videos are... a pain. There's a lot less embellishing allowed when it comes to history, because you know... it's all factual and that. No fun. Also, the bigger the person, the more historians weighed in on a party they are hundreds of years too late for - or in the case of Julius Caesar 2000 years too late for. But... I won't let that stop me.
    Just do know: While I am 100% confident that I am giving you a very detailed outlook on who Gaius Julius Caesar was, and why he is special, if this video peaked your interest... do feel encouraged to venture out into the World Wide Web and do your own research on the man that started Rome as we know it.
    Get All My Artwork & Support The Channel:
    I get a lot of questions about my artwork and where it’s from or rather who draws it. Well the answer is that I create it - I don’t draw it. I use AI to create the artwork, using specific prompts, specific style influences from 18th and 19th century artists, and I spend about 10 hours per video just on the artwork. Each video has roughly double the artwork of what you actually see in the video, so a lot of it is unused. The good news here though is that you can get all that artwork on my Patreon - the artwork I do use, and the artwork I don’t use. Plus, by subscribing to my Patreon you are making a major contribution to Briefed and helping me to keep this channel going, because this is my full time job and the survival of the channel and quality of the videos greatly depends on said support. In return for supporting, you get more than the artwork though - you also get exclusive videos and producer credit, as well as access to a producer group that gets to vote on thumbnails, gets behind the scenes etc.
    If you choose to become a Patron - thank you. I do not take it for granted.

    Footage:
    I used a lot of clips from Rome's HBO, and everything that wasn't Rome was either Netflix' 'Barbarians' or Ridley Scott's 'Gladiator'.

    My favorite historical subject - Julius Caesar. One thing you should've included is how Caesar preferred to forgive and pardon his rivals and put them back into power under his thumb, rather than kill or imprison them (including Brutus). This was his undoing in the end.

    Colleen McCollough wrote the most in depth novels about Julius Caesar, and the death of the Roman Republic. I'm sure you're aware of this, though. For those of you interested- these are historical novels, with so much erudition involved, that I am certain she got things right more often than not, when creating the dialogue to certain unknown conversations. She knows these people intimately. A biologist who loved all things Roman her whole life- spent her retirement writing this amazing series. Her knowledge of Latin, and Roman customs are encyclopedic. The epilogues to these novels are massive, and chock full of factual information.

    As with all historical videos, I find myself needing to point out the flaws. Julius Caesar did not sleep with men. Every single mention of this were from his enemies, especially the one about having an affair with King Nicomedes. The entire rumor was started during Caesars Gallic Triumph many years later with "Gallias Caesar subegit, Caesarem Nicomedes". It was a political move to undermine him publicly because he was becoming too popular with the people and they feared another rise of the populous party or that he would try to become dictator.

      So many errors in this as well as some glaring omissions. Like the pirates were holed up on the North African coast that had so many outcrops and bays that nobody could ever find them. That's why they laughed when he said he'd come back and crucify them all
      Caesar chose a landmark and then created a definition of inlet, then counted how many from the landmark to where the pirates entered.
      Plus I believe he was appointed Pontifex Maximus by Sulla in his youth which precluded him from military or political service. I can't remember who allowed him to leave that position, but he got out at around 19 and earned the grass crown by his fellow legionaries in his first military campaign by single handedly saving his legion from certain defeat.

I’ve been reading books about them by Anthony Berrett, Richard Holland, Edward Champlin, Thorsten Opper, and John Drinkwater, that suggest that they were actually quite good Emperors, and that their terrible reputations stem from upsetting the patricians by siding with the plebs too frequently.

    I mean... a lot of the reason that the Roman Emperors were typically called 'Caesar' was because after adopting Octavian, and giving him his full name. (And so Octavian's decedents were also given the Caesar family name...) More Emperors were known as Augustus (the exalted one) than Caesar (a family name), it only lasted 12 emperors.

    Hey man, I liked the video, but I do feel the need to correct one point.
    It wasn't Pompey the one who bad-mouthed Caesar while the latter was away - it was Cato the Younger, a Optimates (party opposing Caesar's Populares), a stout traditionalist and one of Caesar's bitterest political rival (not for the least because Caesar boinked Cato's sister and tricked Cato into reading outloud in the Senate a love letter from her to him).
