Reminds me of my high school English teacher. He purposely is monotone and always looked up... Until the last day of when he retired and then he started singing and looked at us. He has been trolling students for over 30 years...
Octavian publicly decrying that he can't accept such authority for the tenth time that day The Senate: No, Octavian, please, we need you 🙄 Octavian: Well... maybe if you say pweety pwease 😏
The sky show Domina is among the very first shows to cover the problems faced by Octavian after he outsmarted Cleopatra and Marcus Antonius,worth a watch.
1:14 l never thought l would hear the narrator, who has recounted the fall and rise of civilizations and empires alike, sing "never gonna give you up".
I absolutely love this channel and just ordered my Kings and Generals plushie I can't wait to receive it looks amazing. Your vids are absolutely amazing I always enjoy seeing the awesome art work
Goldsworthy understands Ancient Rome and the man behind the legacy of Augustus, as much as we will ever be able to understand the man who is a huge mystery in so many ways. He starts by explaining that Augustus wasn’t really called Augustus in his lifetime and to divide him between ‘Octavian’ and ‘Augustus’ for before and after assuming power can be misleading. He was known as Caius Octavius, then when he became Julius Caesar’s heir he was known as Caius Julius Casear, he could have added Octavianus, his obscure family name, but chose not to, and finally the name of Augustus was awarded to him by the senate, clearly carefully crafted to please and honour him. As Goldsworthy makes clear, Augustus was never known as an emperor in his lifetime, he was conscious not to use that, the hated ‘king’ or even ‘dictator’ as his titles. He chose ‘Princeps’ which means ‘First Citizen’. Even though as time went on and focus became more around Augustus’ family, there was a lack of a monarchical feel. This only became more apparent with a development of a court and favourites, under his successor Tiberius. Augustus was a military dictator, but also an effective and good ruler. But it is important to not he owed everything to the unstable years of the civil wars which followed Julius Caesar’s death and as such Augustus’ inheritance. As famously said at the time, ‘he owes everything to his name, and this was true. As he inherited a huge army loyal to him because he was his great uncles’ heir. With those around him, first Antony and Lepidus, then later Marcus Agrippa, he was able to win victories increase his ‘imperium’ (power) and ‘auctoritas’ (prestige). He was ruthless when he needed to be and showed clemency where he saw fit. For example, the conspirators of the Ides of March or Sextus Pompieus, Pompey’s son were hunted down and taken out. But Lepidus, his former ally in defeating them was allowed to retire as he posed not threat. The eternal youth in our minds, due to his propaganda of how he was portrayed in coins and statues, Augustus was the victim of his own success, he outlived everyone but his second wife Livia. Whom he met as a young and beautiful, but heavily pregnant and married woman. Tiberius Claudius Nero, her husband was ‘asked’ to divorce her and although they never had children it was a long and successful marriage lasting over 40 years. He was a difficult father to his own natural child Julia. He at one time banished her due to rumours of adultery, not allowing her any luxuries or the company of men. He was fond of his grandchildren Caius and Lucius Caesar, but tragically both died as young men. This caused him to have to rethink the succession. Agrippa, who he owed a lot of his success to died before him, as did his friends the poets Horace and Virgil. Both near contemporaries. For the future, he turned to Tiberius, in his mid 40s at the time of Augustus’ death in 14AD. Tiberius was Livia’s oldest son, and even then Augustus preferred his younger brother Drusus, who had also died before the Princeps. Augustus clearly had no confidence in Tiberius, who had withdrawn from public life to Rhodes and would famously do so to the island of Capri in his reign. Tiberius was hated later and so the twisted view of him in later years may be due to later propaganda. His reign was known to be peaceful. What is certain is that Augustus was one of (if not the) the best Roman emperors, with all looking to be ‘as good as Trajan’ and ‘luckier than Augustus.’ Unlike in Goldsworthy’s Caesar, there is no background or world building, however this works, as you’re supposed to read Caesar and then Antony and Cleopatra first. It would be repetitive and unnecessary to cover this same ground again. However, this can then retract from the context, especially for the visual reader. As a result this is something to be mindful of, if you have not read the other books. The introduction and beginning of Caesar is what really hooked me on and took me back to my routes of studying the ancient world. One criticism is that Goldsworthy does not seek to spend a lot of time discussing the Pax Romana, the Roman Peace, something which he built his career and reputation on as he was so popular due to selling himself as someone who brought stability to Rome. Augustus’ life’s work and propaganda was based on this. Nor is there as much focus on how he styled himself with his hair etc to captivate young and fashionable but disenchanted, aristocrats to his cause. Minor points, but then it seems more is to say about the man.
Well, our word emperor does come from the Latin Imperator, which was the name for the commander of a Roman Army, and that was one of the many roles that Augustus (and later emperors), he was officially the commander of all Roman Legions. Augustus is one of a small number of historical figures whose life was so consequential and impactful that it is extremely difficult to talk about him with the kind of objectivity that historians strive for.
Octavian to me is THE most underrated ruler of all time. Like dude brought stability after CENTURIES of turmoil & was amongst one of the greatest tacticians in all of political & military history. Really my 🐐 fr 💪
@@pinviewapp8908I 100% get this. Dudes responsible for the Pax Romana and isn’t really one of the more “flashy” emperors that people like to talk about. Instead it’s guys like Trajan, Hadrian, Marcus Aurelius or Caesar even though he wasn’t exactly an emperor. You could say Augustus was “boring” because his reign was that peaceful that it was uneventful I guess. The biggest event in his reign I believe was the massacre of 3 entire legions in the teuturburg forest.
@@ShadowAngel7 EXACTLY but I mean ever greater still when people discuss the greats like Caesar, Ghengis Khan & Napoleon he’s never mentioned. Granted I understand he isn’t a “conqueror” in the traditional sense but to act like Augustus isn’t arguably the best template for how to rule an empire is insane to me
I dont care about others opinion but this is the best channel in RUclips for all time. I've been following you guys since before i study history in university and i can say this channel taught me more then my teachers in uni lol thanks for all of that
When Devin singing steals the show on a super hyped new series! Anyway interesting video, I'm very surious to see how you structure this in the next videos
to be fair he claimed to have prevented a military/cultic coup, have fought a war and when all was seem lost only then he forgo the democracy. him forgoing democracy was the final straw.
Well at least Octavian didn't lose his empire to a Sicilian hillbilly beholden to mystic, clairvoyant powers inherited from an ancient cult of neopolitan super monks. And his decisions on government policies were a bit more.... socially acceptable by the people.
Thanks for the video! Everything Rome is most welcome. I'm ready The Storm Before The Storm, it's a fascinating account of the previous 80 years of political struggle between the populares and optimates, leading directly to Ceasar Augustus. Fascinating
K and generals, can you made a video of the naval batle of DIU? I find That is One of the best Revenge story of all Times. Its totaly insane and totaly Hollywood real Vendetta
I'm a Portuguese speaker, I still prefer to watch with your voice and with subtitles, the dubbing because it's artificial intelligence doesn't have your emotion, and you have a beautiful voice that conveys your passion for the story.
Eh, were he? I mean "whenever there's obstacle i'll just break some laws!" works only if you have absolute devotion of the military. Military coups do not require political skill really.
@@AlexKwiatekwhy was Augustus not just assassinated like his successors or predecessor? A coup does require political skill. It required him to walk a tight rope of maintaining power while letting others feel like they had an equal collective power against him. Rome wouldn’t even recognize their first citizens as an emperor for decades after his death
The idea is to tell the story of the imperial period in a coherent manner. Each dynasty and crisis period will get its own subseries, starting with what we call the "history of the Julio-Claudian dynasty" .
Octavian went from an unlikely heir to Julius Caesar in 44 BC to sole master of the Roman world by 27 BC. He outmaneuvered the most experienced generals and politicians of the Republic without making it look like he’s a king. His political acumen was unmatched.
You've got to respect the sheer will and grit of Octavian's hustle. Dude went from a scrawny rich almost-nobody, to a poor would-be politician with nothing but a name, to a vengeful co-conspirator in one of the darkest alliances of his nation's history, to a distinguished military leader with the bro of all bros as his skilled executive commander, to the last man standing of a civil war rooted with ideological ties going back decades before becoming the most powerful human being of his time ushering in a golden age that would elevate him to near demigod status beloved by both upper and lower classes along with the military, whose dynasty would endure throughout time. There were so many hurdles and challenges that would've ensured any other man would fail, that should've reduced him to just another foot note in history but he overcame them all. Ceasar could've given his name to anybody else at the time but he chose Octavian, flexing his incredible wisdom and foresight one last time from beyond the grave. Whether it be from glory or infamy he knew that sickly boy was destined for greatness.
Something so perverse about all the offices of state being derived from powers of a king, then Augustus says he is not a king but holds all the powers of each office. Each office was seperated to avoid all powers of a king being held by one person.
I hope you do a sequel covering his later rule. He saw the conquest of Germania, and the fall of Varus and his three Legions 6 years before his death. And he didn’t know it at the time but Roman rule would not be restored (I doubt he’d abandon it like Tiberius would). Had they not fallen I’d bet he’d had lived longer or at least died in peace. Perhaps his last words on his deathbed would’ve been different. Would he have even heard about Herod’s massacre (soon after issuing a Census across the Imperium), or would he have even cared as long as the Jews didn’t rebel against the client King.
I actually got rick rolled by kings and general!!! Never in my life i would expect this to happen ive been watching thus channel since 2018 its a honor to be rick rolled by you😂🗿👍

Sold out! Bummer.
Hands down Octavian was a smart one. My compliments to the guy. He knew how to keep power right up till the day he died. Nice video.
God bless you and everyone you know Jesus forgives just repent and have faith in him and you shall be forgiven Amen Alleluia✝️🙏🙌
Bad emperors also kept power until the day they died. It just tended to be an earlier death.
Getting rick rolled by Devin... thanks K&G for making my dream come true 😂

Love it. Keeps continuing the story from Caesar’s Gallic wars and the civil wars
JUST GOT RICK ROLLED WATCHING A DOCUMENTARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are worse fates
Augustus was truly a political master/genius. Without parallel within his time.
Dudes !!! was so waiting for that one thx guys :) Taking power is easy(ish), keeping it now that's the real challenge
