Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome continues with an episode of the post-Caesar Civil Wars, as we look at what happened after the initial shock of Caesar's assassination. Previously we talked about the battle of Mutina and its aftermath ( • Post-Caesar Civil Wars... ) as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war ( • Octavian and Antony: t... ). The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes ( • Battles of Xanthos and... ), and that, in turn lead to the battle of Philippi that would decide the fate of the war between the Caesareans and Pompeians ( • Battle of Philippi - P... ). After Philippi, Octavian and Antony basically divided Rome between them. In this episode we will see what was happening in the western part in 41-40 BC as Octavian had to deal with a number of enemies and crises, which culminated at the Perusian War where Caesar's heir was forced to fight Antony's wife Fulvia and his brother Lucius ( • Perusine War - Octavia... ). On the other side of the Roman realm, Parthian-Pompeian alliance led by prince Pacorus and Quintus Labienus invaded and forced Antony and his lieutenant Publius Ventidius Bassus to defend in West Asia in 40 BC ( • Pompeian-Parthian inva... ). Back west Octavian finally decided to attack Sextus Pompey in order to take over Sicily leading to a number of battles, most notable among them at Mylae in 36 BC.

Established Masterworks?
Hey any chance we could have some videos on some African empires (besides carthage as much as I love em) or maybe something on the sythian, sarmation tribes? I rarely see much on them.
Don't invest in Art. At all. It's all a mafia con.
@@johnwolf2829 lp?
@@johnwolf2829 huh
Hey all, I was the scriptwriter and historian for this episode, hope you enjoyed! If you've got any questions or feedback for me, please do leave them below and I'll try my best to get around to them!
appreciate your work here!
Two short questions, if you have time.
1. Are you gonna cover the war between Antony and the Partian?
2. Why did Mena's changed side so often? Like who was he (brief background)
Thanks. I really love the Roman stuff
You just took historia civils bro
In your opinion, did Pompey Jr. stand a chance of coming out on top? How do you rank him amongst other contenders and opponents of Octavian?
I love badass Agrippa was. This dude was a magnificent general, a great scholar, an engineer, an efficient governor, somehow an excellent admiral even though he didn't have much naval experience... this dude was the living embodiment of master of all.
History Civilis have it right, he was a spaceman from the future!
To the point it almost makes you wonder (or at least me) if there's not a little fudging of the truth there in terms of how things were written, to make him look better and remove some of the shine from some of his sub commanders.
@@hockey66191that’s probably what happened, “soldiers generally win battles, generals take credit for them.”
@@hockey66191he was indeed a literal genious
Octavian may have sucked at military stuff, but he sure knew how to find the right people for the job
guess it helps to have 1 general with 100 in every stat
Octavian and Agrippa were one of the best duos in History
More like Agrippa was History's greatest babysiter.
Like good lord, I expected something more from "Rome's luckiest emperor". But seems like Octavian's only luck during those incredibly sloppy civil wars was having Agrippa by his side.
@@rotciv1492 you forget Octavian saved Agrippa’s brother from punishment during Julius Caesar’s civil war, so yeah Agrippa did do quite a bit, but his loyalty was earned by Octavian early on and he stuck by his side and eventually was made just as powerful as Octavian (Augustus) himself later in life
@@rotciv1492 Octavian, you should note, was NO warrior. The dude was an outstanding administrator, but a general he absolutely was NOT. Most important of all, he was well aware of his shortcomings in the war department, that’s why he relied on Agrippa for everything military because he knew of his friends competence in that area.
In fact, Augustus had a gift for recognizing peoples inborn talents and placing them in areas they’d excel and flourish which, some would say, is more useful in a leader than just martial ability.
Octavian would have been killed after Phillipi without Aggripa. He really did not achieve anything without him. Augustus has to be the most overrated emperor ever.
There's much, much more to being a successful emperor than personally winning battles. And after some early blunders, Augustus excelled in that department as a politician.
Not only recognising his own shortcomings and Agrippa's talent, but also his loyalty, and managing to keep him loyal through all these years, was just as important. If you have good and loyal generals, you don't need to do the winning yourself. And keeping it that way, in an age when successful generals usually developed ambitions of their own, required serious political skill.
Ideas:
-Trajan's Dacian campaign.
-The Roman conquest of Hispania.
-The Punic wars.
-Why the Romans didn't conquer the Arabian peninsula?
-Elagabalus.
-The Gladiators.
-Female Gladiators.
-Animal fights in the Arena.
-The Romans' admiration of Alexander the Great.
-The Romanization process.
-The Herodian dynasty.
-Cleopatra with Mark Antony and Julius Caesar.
Invictus did an Arabia video. Pretty easy answer, they couldn't find a guide who wouldn't betray them so they figured poking around blind in the desert was suicide. As they consolidated the East the Arabian tribes were treated as a buffer between Rome and Persia. The inability of either to subjugate them longterm is part of why they were able to unify so fast under Islam.
Elagabalus? Oh man, that is going to be a bit weird....
@@geordiejones5618 Honestly except Persia the Romans had the ability to conquer basically anywhere, but Arabia like Germany simply wasn't worth the cost it would take to conquer it.
I agree with this list
Byzantium during the 8th century, this is such an interesting part of Roman history when the Eastern Roman Empire was still reeling from losing about half of their territory while still having to contend with the same unified Caliphate army (unlike the already splintered muslim factions during the time of the 1st crusade) that so easily conquered their long time Persian rivals while also constantly beating the Byzantium army in open pitched land battle for more than a century (resulting in the ERE developing the thematic system in Anatolia during the 7th century which focuses on ambushing the Caliph raiding parties as they realize they could no longer risk taking the Caliph army head on, even in their own territory).
Bzantium annual revenue went from around 6000-11000+k solidi during Justinian times to just around 1800-2000K during the 770s, this was like a dark age for the Romans, its a shame there are barely any videos covering this era.
I'd love a whole video on the life story of Lepidus. He's always a side player in these videos, but he seems like he was a survivor. He made it to age 76, which is a lot longer than most Roman emperors.
Hopefully you will appreciate the end of the next video then! It'll discuss these very points
If I'm not mistaken Lepidus is Caesar's master of horse at the time of his assasination. If you watched the Caesar assasination, k&g mentioned that he and Anthony are the next two most powerful caesarians behind Caesar himself. So yeah, Lepidus isn't a nobody, he is one of Caesar's most powerful subordinates
"On this occasion Antony acted as the bigger man"
I mean, first time for everything. Octavian's no angel, but I do think it's fair to say that most of his and Antony's relationship up to this point has been the latter trying to undermine, impede, and otherwise inconvenience him at every turn.
Octavian: has invasion thwarted by repeated storms wrecking his fleet
Persian Empire: first time?
Octavian was pretty good at military tactics but... I kinda helped a little.
Watching Octavian making tactical decisions is like watching an infant trying to perform surgery with tools way too big for his clumsy hands.
@@rotciv1492 Caesar he was, but a general he was not.
Will you do the civil war between Sulla and Marius in the future? I think their civil war is an really interesting topic that really needs more coverage on RUclips
I second this
It has been mentioned numerous times, so we'll love to see the details of what went down.
yeh don't really see much if anything on this
Still mad Respect to Sextus, he really fought hard and gave his best
Ah yes, Caesar's music when his faction grabs victory from the jaws of defeat
If i had a nickel for every time Octavian fleet suffer an storm trying to invade Sicily i had 2 nickels, which isnt a lot but it is weird that it happened twice.
Finally some good old Roman history !
I am a long time follower of Kings and Generals and this channel and many like it, has been an amazing source in educating me about ancient warfare and history. However, I have been disappointed that many of these respected channels have been advertising shady products like MasterWorks, which to me sounds like another form of NFTs, preying on human ignorance. There is another product, and I apologize in advance if it wasn't on this channel, where you can buy a paper which (supposedly) makes you an earl in Scotland
I know the research and production of these videos aren't cheap and you have to find ways to keep the lights on. But I hope that in the future, you can find advertisers that live up to the standards I have come to expect from Kings and Generals
They said that if they get 10,000 patreons, they can quit the sponsorships.
Are you a financial supporter of this channel? I as because it is easy to criticize about advertising, but unless a person is willing to help financially, how can the channel pay the costs associated with good quality videos? Most people, including you I imagine, aren't willing to work for nothing.
@@williamromine5715 So, your arguement is, it's fine for a RUclips channel to advertise scams, because they can't grow fast enough?
Sextus: I am the son of Neptune!
Agrippa: And I took offense to that.
All I have to say is? Finally they put out another one.
Great video…That Menas chap seems like a lovely fellow, very trust worthy….
Sextus Pompey has been holding to Sicily against the Cesareans for so long, that one could be forgiven for mistaking it for an independent nation at this point.
I wish it wasn't Italy.
He *was* Sextus Pompeius after all; Boat-King, Pirate-King, Beloved of Neptune.
Poor Lepidus, being left behind, and reduced to irrelevance after the war.
Love this time period in human history when wars were up close and personal not taking troops out Miles away 😮
Finally! Been waiting for this since forever
Love this period from Marius and Sulla's wars til the last civil war of the republic
11:45 daaaang that is freaking genius!
I need to try this tactic in my games.
Menas is "some reliable guy".
Spectacular video! Looking forward to the next chapter.
I just recently discovered this channel and have enjoyed it immensely
Thanks for the video as always 👍🏻
These are just the best. Love this series so much
Another masterpiece. Thank you.
Can't wait for the next episode!
Fantastic video keep it up your doing amazing job
Great work Sir thank you
Bloody hell, finally after Months of damn waiting, Rome is finally Back!!! Please focus more on this brilliant series, you, kings and generals, are Doing A Bloody Good Performance on this master piece, i had never learned so much about the crises of the republic or ancient rome as i am see on this great work of yours!
We’ve been waiting enough give us more please
Have I ever mentioned how fantastic Kings and Generals videos are.
Well if not let me do so now. For the millionth time!! Thank you. LOL.
What a terrific series so far! ⚔🔥🙌
You guys never fail to disappoint. Your videos are always so amazing !
Thanks for the video 👍
Nicely done video
The music in this video is lovely
Man I need to get a book about the history of Sicily. It's insane how much history that island has from so many different cultures and empires. Anyone have any good recommendations?
John Julius Norwich has a book on it
Awesome series!! When should we expect #8??
Finally! 🔝
Great video.
Great video
Please post more about ancient conflicts
amazing
feels like i’ve waited forever for this video to drop
Thanks
10:44 "Octavian recalled Agrippa"
Outstanding move. This truly shows up the full reach of Octavian's tactical genious.
Meanes defecting back and forth is hilarious.
Menas acting a true italian and changing sides Twice
awesome
This is an interesting era to learn about.
I am astonished by this hidden gem of ancient warfare…so close of the civil wars and the most important players and yet kind of left in shade by much grander campaigns or battles in the Roman Civil War. It looks like ancient naval warfare is like a Cindarella, but not for me. I love this stuff…and these battles are astonishing!
I saw a man I knew, and called out "Stetson!"
"You were with me in the ships at Mylae, Stetson."
Take a drink every time Menas switches sides.
A true italian, switching sides for the 500th time in a row
Finally new episode
I often wonder if Caesar survived what his thoughts on Agrippa would be. Obviously he chose Octavian as his successor because he’s the brightest in his family but would he want to make Agrippa family after seeing his military genus 🤔
Can't wait for the next one...
Don't worry, I've got a good feeling that my boi Sextus can still pull off a decisive victory.
Great! Please, no more two months to get the next chapter 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Congratulations Tô This Vídeo.
Menas whenever Sextus or Octavian breathes: Ok time to defect again.
When is the next video for the redone ottoman series.
So excited to see the conclusion to this wonderful series! Great work!
Well, there is still the Battle of Actium to be covered, at least another video.
6-7 more to go if my memory is serving me well.
@@KingsandGenerals can’t wait for it. It’s gonna be good by the way I do have to ask when are you guys going to redo the battle of the Catalan planes Attila versus Aetius
@@KingsandGenerals just curious, does that mean you guys will be redoing the teutoberg forest video as well as the campaigns of Germanicus?
They will be remade, but will probably be part of the next season. This one will end with an episode on how Octavian transformed the Republic into the Empire.
Really looking forward to more of this series of the progression Octavian reaches to become sole emperor of what will become the Roman Empire but let's not forget he had to earn it but with the help of the brilliant Marcus Agrippa 11:27
Absolutely agree with you there Marius.
Also your military career is one that I studied quite often and learned much.
@@MarcusAgrippa390 I second this. I too studied his and your own military campaigns in preparation for my own, the manner by which you defeated Sextus Pompeius was awe-inspiring.
0:00 3:36 7:36 10:38 13:51 15:35
I don’t know what I would do without you guys, thank you so much 👍
I wonder how many naval engagements have been decided by bad luck with the wearer…
This channels excellent work is always a welcome sight in my feed, well done sirs!
GOOD
This is just what i need right now! Thank you so so so much❤️
You have a gift for segues into advertisments.😊
Good video
@kingsandGenerals what is the battle after Maritsa
I have been waiting for this for a long time..
Where are the other episodes?
Please finish the Three Kingdoms series
That naval battle of Cumae took place between the island of Procida and Monte Di Procida. The reason why I know that is because I’m from the area.
Just saying but I can’t wait to see you cover mark Antony’s Parthian War and his campaign against Armenia and I can’t wait to see you cover Antony’s Parthian War because fighting on the side of Antony was king polemon the first of Pontus but also fighting on Antony’s side would be his opponent in his campaign against Armenia and his opponent in his campaign against Armenia would be Armenian king Artavasdes the second of Armenia who was the son and successor of King Tigranes the great and he was also the maternal grandson of king Mithridates VI Eupator aka Mithridates the great.
Menas changed sides so much that it puts team autobalance to shame.
When comes the new episode ???
We havent had a video about ancient history in a while.
Menas is my spirit animal
finally let's goo
The purple squares vs the red squares
FINALLY
Thank you!
Agrippa: *exists*
Anyone fighting against Octavian: "why do I hear boss music?!"
Menas change sides more than the dices in a 3 hour long monopoly game.
About time being waiting a while for this one 😊
Hey, more ancient history content.
My favorite kind of history
Poor Sextus.
Title as first threw me but quickly I got it. Sextus Pompey
Why did Sextus split his forces? Too bad you didn't explain this.
Boat King Sextus hell yeah!
Let's goo. The wait is worth it
