I LOVE first hand avcounts and historic letters, writings, and logs.
And this channel has made learning these historic events so much easier and relatable.
Thank you.
You've earned a new subscriber. Watching all your videos. Love it!
Found your channel today. Very good. Thank you.
Finally been waiting for weeks lol love the videos
Fantastic.. Please continue.
Thank you, friend! Will do
I was looking forward to this one, and it did not disappoint. Caesar's war strategy, logistics knowledge, battle tactics, knowing when & where it was time to rally his troops, his courage in the face of chaos, all are awe inspiring. And, then you witness his mercy to those he has defeated and you realize there truly was no one else like him.
Thank you for bringing the Gallic Wars to life for us!
I'm happy you enjoyed it! But let's not forget he might have exaggerated his own virtues slightly 😅
@@TheLegendaryLore As do they all
For his time yes, in the end though the results of his campaign were still egregious by modern standards. One third of the Gauls were dead, another third enslaved, and the final third left to squat in the ruins.
Compared to previous campaigns in history, it was remarkably peaceful and more about gunboat diplomacy. But by modern standards, stats like this would be grounds for war crimes trials.
29:30 "with one exception". Among all that serious history, that was a hilarious aside.
We all know how frustrating that was to Caesar 😄
P.S. I love the colourful, dramatised, still photos of your subject. Are they from films?
Ave Divus Julius!
I can read the original (not in Latin "yet"), but I loved the idea of modernizing the language. I commend your initiative. It might make more people interested in history. Well done! Mars and Bellona keep you!
Julius Caesar not only was tenacious - he just never lost his cool. What a leader! Amazing. I really had no idea how hard Caesar worked for Gaul.
His writings are absolutely fascinating, but he also did what he could to make himself look good, whereas others would argue that he committed genocide on several occasions.
What I find particularly interesting is that he made a significant effort to justify his actions and downplay some of the brutalities - which (I think) indicates that the Roman people on the whole cared about justice.
Most of the Belgae were not germans. Mostly Eubrones, Aduacti and Tungri. Nervii were a mix of celts and germans.
The Arabs were called filthy by the Westerners, but they do have lots of washing and eating rituals, so I guess it's all relative to time and place. The Vikings have definitely earned some raucous reputations along the way, so maybe this Arab was right!
I like first-hand accounts of history, even if it's a one-eyed view.
Thanks L.L.
