🚩 Download War and Peace: American Civil War and Help Support Our Channel ► warandpeace.onelink.me/g1tb/a0d8ccc4 📖 Caesar's Civil War (49-45 BC), was one of the last politico-military conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire. The war was a four-year-long politico-military struggle, fought in Italy, Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Africa, and Hispania. In a series of battles over the years, Caesar defeated his enemies (the Optimates) and became Dictator for life. The changes to Roman government eliminated the political traditions of the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) and led to the Roman Empire (27 BC-AD 476).
You are doing great work.but most of time you are doing about most famous battles which is already made by others. Your video quality is very high, but if you choose about a trully great characters which is less known like (mihail the brave, by far the best video i've ever seen and I was suprised that I didn't heard anything about him), there are many charachters which is less known (David the builder bagrationi, George Saakadze, vardan mamikonian) do this line of less known persons and this would pay off in the future.
The story of Caesar and Labienus was almost a Shakespearean tragedy, yet so often overlooked. Nowadays most people refer to Mark Antony as Caesar's close friend, or even Brutus, but I think none of them ever reached Labienus' status. Likely, had he stayed loyal to Caesar, he would've been Caesar's political heir. They knew each other for a long time. They were of the same age, close friends, and stalwart political allies. Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, Labienus agreed to accompany Caesar as his lieutenant when Caesar became governor of Cisalpine Gaul, llyricum, and Transalpine Gaul. For a whole decade, they conquered Gaul together. Nobody knew for sure the true reason why Labienus turned against Caesar. Perhaps his cause was altruistic and he chose to stay loyal to the idea of the Republic, or maybe he resented that he would never receive the credit he thought he deserved if he kept on serving under Caesar despite being a general of the same caliber. From the bits and pieces of history gathered, it seemed that the two men held sentiments for each other still even after they became enemies. When Labienus left, he could've brought Caesar's legions with him, but he didn't. When Caesar learned of his friend's defection, Caesar sent his belongings to him. Over the course of the civil war, Caesar would extend many olive branches which Labienus refused. Labienus knew Caesar too well, and the knowledge likely played a large role in his initial victory. After the battle of Munda, Caesar sent his soldiers to search the battlefield for Labienus' body, then buried his old friend with full honors on a field outside of Munda. Despite being the victor, Caesar died only a year later after Labienus. It's really sad to think about.
in my opinion, it makes the most sense that he was simply more loyal to Roman Republic than he was Caesar. This is still within the time period where people were trained from a young age to being loyal to the state of Rome. Furthermore, if we are going to consider placing Labienus in the potentially jealous category, wouldn't that mean that we are ignoring what you pointed when you said "Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, he chose to be Caesar's LT"? In my opinion, Labienus was okay with conquering Gaul and parts of Germania with Caesar because this can still be viewed as good for the Roman Republic. I can imagine Caesar and Labienus during the conquest of Gaul were constantly talking about how much they were doing for Roman Republic while vigorously fighting for Rome in Gaul. Also, I believe Caesar himself was most likely extremely loyal to the Roman Republic as well. If the Senate and Pompey didn't try to throw Caesar in jail or kill him, i think everything would have played out much differently. In other words, i highly doubt Caesar ever thought about going to war with Rome until they tried to take his legions and bar him from office in the future. What do you think? Do you think Labienus was jealous or just ultra nationalistic?

I found this part interesting about his entire career. It was not always about sheer numbers due to logistical problems that could lead to immobility and attrition.
Caesar was also about Quality rather than Quantity. In most instances in history, the bigger army would usually be dominated by new recruits while the veterans would be about 40% at best. In that case, Caesar would rather bring as many elite as possible rather than bring huge numbers of newbies. As the old Afghan proverbs goes, it's better to bring 4 lions than 400 sheep.
@@dragooll2023 exactly, also very important! Which is why I find it fascinating how Age of empires were able to translate mobility mid battle inside a video game! Very interesting!
@@ramiabdo5953 yea look what happened to Nepoleon when he had his biggest army ever. He got them all killed. He was better with the smaller army where he could flank and just move around.
This guy shaped much of the world we live in today. Without him there is no Octavian and no Roman Empire. Such a badass who understood the power of example to the morale of the troops... and what an asset is that your army is also a corps of engineers. That double wall against Alessia... brilliance at his finest.
The double wall has to be one of the best examples of Caesar's brilliance, but it's hard to top the bridge across the Rhine. The 'shock value' of that alone just blows my mind. I can't imagine what the Germanic tribes were thinking seeing that bridge go up, knowing the doom that awaited them...
From an outcast patrician of a once glorious family to being on a proscription list to being captured by pirates to conquering Gaul to being demonized by his own allies to becoming the first Roman Dictator for life. The life this man had is truly mindblowing, and he is the most inspiring person i could think of. Unbelievable character. If his life was out of a movie people would say that the story is too unrealistic.
Caesar's life was intensely dramatic! But that's precisley why it is so inspiring. To me he is one of the most inspiring persons. And he (or his name) has still so much influence in the world. Caesar was/is extraordinary!
@@SteelValyrian Yes.. but I think caeser was a much better strategist than either of them because he was also adept @ the political game. Caeser mostly fought unavoidable wars. He always knew when to halt his match and reaccess his situation. The other two were @ times overly aggressive and greedy. I feel that's the real reason why Caeser always could get the best out of his men. They felt he was an ordinary folk (Just man) who dished out reward and punishment fairly, whom they could easily relate with, his statue not withstanding. A man who shed blood only on the few occasions when it was unavoidable.
@@centurymemes1208He was a battlefield whip but he wasn't the greatest politician or strategist. He didn't realize that in life one needs to have limits. If there is none then you'd go ahead and invent one just to keep in line.
He actually did offer to hand over his legions and territories if Pompey did so as well. The Civil War wasn’t as much as Caesars fault as it was Cato and the conservatives who vehemently hated Caesar. They strongly opposed Caesar even when he offered and proposed various fair offers and laws. Caesar didn’t want war. He waited across the Rubicon, it was Pompey who actively sought the office of Dictator. Caesar was in his way and Pompey was attempting to become the second Sulla. Essentially the Civil war wasn’t a result of Caesar’s personality. He wasn’t necessarily egotistical nor had a sense of entitlement. He showed this in his early life when he, as a young orator, prosecuted other corrupt nobles and when he offered his daughter to Pompey he demonstrated his humble manner. Most wouldn’t have given there daughter but Caesar wasn’t above it. (He also knew his daughter would be treated quite well by Pompey due to his previous marriages)
Now here's something i really like to thank you guys for: thanks to this channel i am able to sleep at night again. I loved your videos from the beginning, when i had no sleeping problems of course. But as i developed some sort of sleeping problems cause my head just didnt stop thinking and i would have been awake like almost all night every time, this channel was the key for me to find sleep again. Listening to history march calms me down so much. My head finally started to rest again. Believe me, if you cant sleep and your thoughts just go wild throughout all the night, thats no fun at all. Logically youve got a lack of energy all the upcoming day. Im really interessted in roman history and stuff but this is some special thanks to you guys, cause you were the reason i could rest again for many times. Love your work in many ways. Just thank you.
Caesar's veterans deserve movie for themselves. What an underrated army they were. Those men who fought the Civil War must be broadly known. I'm certain some of us still are their descendents.
I can't believe that after all that, Caesar kept the Senate in Rome and mingled with them without a bodyguard. Insane. He died just a year after all this. Though I try to keep in mind, despite Caesar's brilliance in the battlefield, that the Senate was right. His dictatorship would lead to tyrant after tyrant, empoverishing Rome and causing civil wars. The weakened Rome was defeated because of this.
@@Grasslander I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Leaders, whether they're Caesar or not, are never a cause, always a symptom. Caesar happened because of the general corruption of politics in Rome. It would have been someone else, if not Caesar, who probably wouldn't have kept up the senate. At least, Caesar was brilliant, and although he broke the republic, he also defeated Rome's enemies. What came after him wasn't of the same quality, and not always had Rome's best interest in mind.
@@Grasslanderthe republic would have fallen long before the empire ever did if it continued after Caesar. Augustus saved Rome and allowed it to continue long after he died. Imao Augustus and Caesar were the first examples of leaders who ruled with Iron Fists for the good of the people. Rulers who were tyrants but benevolent ones. And Augustus...he was the greatest politician EVER. The way he outmaneuvered his enemies...christ. the man could have talked a rock into sentience and taught it advanced physics.
Titus Labienus was not just a former cesarean officer. He was the former 2nd in command and widely recognized as military genius equal to Caesar and Pompey.
This is what happens if u declared war with a neighboring faction being confident in urself having 3 stacks of newly recruited militia army and then find out the enemy has 1 stack Elite Full Experienced Army in Total War
atm I play as celusic ampire and I have an army that has been around since beginning, I have abou 60-70% of world to myself and I feel like ceasar nurturing those golden men who relentlessly fight for me. Allways the first to clash witht the enemy and ensuring my other units dont rout.
Caesar had simply one of the best minds of any general, statesman or politician. He excelled in all areas, proved his bravery multiple times, cheated death, made the citizens love him, forged brothers that would die for him and transformed the republic forever. A truly great man whose death was a bitter moment in history, but made him a martyr.
My 50 minutes on the treadmill that usually seems like 50 hours felt like 15 mins. Saving the remaining 50 minutes of this video for next time. Love all the videos you make ❤️❤️❤️
Yeahhh, You really made my day, with this fabulous video about Caesar's Civil War. I have seen all the different parts, but to see it together is even so much better!
It's amazing how often these battles come down to a simple matter of fear. If you can do something to frighten and panic the enemy, almost nothing else matters.
"A Signifier inverted his standard and tried to kill Caesar with it. A legionary from his German bodyguard was there, and sliced off his hand, thus saving the General, and changing the course of history." How ironic - Germans created the Empire, and Germans destroyed it.
This is better than most films released these days. I often wonder if someone like Steven Spielberg were to make an epic movie on the life of Caesar, he,d have to make it into a series such as he did with Band of Brothers just to fit everything in. But could you just imagine it?!!!!
Those legionnaires must have been extremely impressive physical specimens. They could march 1400 miles in a month, build giant fortifications stretching for miles in every direction in a matter of days, then fight from dawn to dusk, before going on another 100 mile march the next day. Their endurance and stamina was almost inhuman. Just shows what they human body is capable of when pushed to its absolute limits. Incredible.
The men of the 10th are fearless and no wonder Caesar rate them so highly. HistoryMarche, you caught me off guard! I would have prepared myself with everything necessary to watch such a long video.
Omg you literally made my day. Am now at work I just opened the video to see a tip of the video and I found a 1.37 hour clip. LOOKS LIKE A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH TONIGHT 🥳🥳
Really and truly I don't understand why would someone dislike this great documentary? Those who disliked this video must have some serious mental issues.
Is there a dvd series of this? I would definitely buy it. Very informative,detailed and educational. Julius Caesar is truly a titan of great commanders.
Interesting fact: Caesar was kidnapped by pirates in his mid 20’s. When they asked for a ransom for his release, Caesar was insulted at how low a price they had asked for. They upped the bounty, it was paid, and Caesar was released.. only to soon hunt the captors down and pay them back.. Liam Neeson style
@@HistoryMarche will you show al the campaigns and struggles of the roman side too, with as much detail, that is, everything that happens to Marcellus and Fabius Maximus ( which in my opinion they get very little attention for their efforts) and Scipio's campaign in Spain.

He was better with the smaller army where he could flank and just move around.
This guy shaped much of the world we live in today. Without him there is no Octavian and no Roman Empire. Such a badass who understood the power of example to the morale of the troops... and what an asset is that your army is also a corps of engineers. That double wall against Alessia... brilliance at his finest.
The double wall has to be one of the best examples of Caesar's brilliance, but it's hard to top the bridge across the Rhine. The 'shock value' of that alone just blows my mind. I can't imagine what the Germanic tribes were thinking seeing that bridge go up, knowing the doom that awaited them...
From an outcast patrician of a once glorious family to being on a proscription list to being captured by pirates to conquering Gaul to being demonized by his own allies to becoming the first Roman Dictator for life. The life this man had is truly mindblowing, and he is the most inspiring person i could think of. Unbelievable character. If his life was out of a movie people would say that the story is too unrealistic.
Caesar's life was intensely dramatic! But that's precisley why it is so inspiring. To me he is one of the most inspiring persons. And he (or his name) has still so much influence in the world. Caesar was/is extraordinary!
Far superior to kings and generals videos
@@MegaBaddog both are fantastic
Amazing man but his ego led to him betraying his nations ideals

It feels awesome to just think that I am watching this incredible documentary for free.
just have to love his reverse psychology, "its ok lads, I don't need you to win this war, you just go home" :)
Freshman: "BUT THEY'RE UP ON THE HILL AND WE ARE OUTNUMBERED, HOW THE MARS WE CAN WIN THIS?"
10th Legion Vet: "Watch me!"
WITNESS ME
Julius Caesar had one of the most creative mindsets. But also clever, insightful and thoughtful. Always forward-looking, very bright and sharp.
Dont forget lucky
Also went on to inspire people like Napoleon and Hitler. Not equating them mind, but its good to have a healthy fear of heroes.
@@SteelValyrian Yes.. but I think caeser was a much better strategist than either of them because he was also adept @ the political game. Caeser mostly fought unavoidable wars. He always knew when to halt his match and reaccess his situation. The other two were @ times overly aggressive and greedy. I feel that's the real reason why Caeser always could get the best out of his men. They felt he was an ordinary folk (Just man) who dished out reward and punishment fairly, whom they could easily relate with, his statue not withstanding. A man who shed blood only on the few occasions when it was unavoidable.
@@aiyeaiye1371
Ceasar knows his limit
Napoleon can't because he had none.
@@centurymemes1208He was a battlefield whip but he wasn't the greatest politician or strategist. He didn't realize that in life one needs to have limits. If there is none then you'd go ahead and invent one just to keep in line.
It's amazing what a battle between 2 veteran generals looks like with all the repositioning and mind games
He actually did offer to hand over his legions and territories if Pompey did so as well. The Civil War wasn’t as much as Caesars fault as it was Cato and the conservatives who vehemently hated Caesar. They strongly opposed Caesar even when he offered and proposed various fair offers and laws. Caesar didn’t want war. He waited across the Rubicon, it was Pompey who actively sought the office of Dictator. Caesar was in his way and Pompey was attempting to become the second Sulla.
Essentially the Civil war wasn’t a result of Caesar’s personality. He wasn’t necessarily egotistical nor had a sense of entitlement. He showed this in his early life when he, as a young orator, prosecuted other corrupt nobles and when he offered his daughter to Pompey he demonstrated his humble manner. Most wouldn’t have given there daughter but Caesar wasn’t above it. (He also knew his daughter would be treated quite well by Pompey due to his previous marriages)
Now here's something i really like to thank you guys for: thanks to this channel i am able to sleep at night again. I loved your videos from the beginning, when i had no sleeping problems of course. But as i developed some sort of sleeping problems cause my head just didnt stop thinking and i would have been awake like almost all night every time, this channel was the key for me to find sleep again. Listening to history march calms me down so much. My head finally started to rest again. Believe me, if you cant sleep and your thoughts just go wild throughout all the night, thats no fun at all. Logically youve got a lack of energy all the upcoming day. Im really interessted in roman history and stuff but this is some special thanks to you guys, cause you were the reason i could rest again for many times. Love your work in many ways. Just thank you.
I will never stop watching this Chanel
Pompeian guard:
"WHO GOES THERE?!"
Random gutsy Caesarian legionary: "SHHHHH! Sneak attack."
Pompeian: "... Alright then, carry on."
Love the portraits used for the generals, so alive!
What’s better than a video about Caesar ?
Five videos about Caesar
ALL AT ONCE !! !! !!
Caesar's veterans deserve movie for themselves. What an underrated army they were. Those men who fought the Civil War must be broadly known.
I'm certain some of us still are their descendents.
Not you LOL.
@@remember2023 Why?
Whenever u are miserable and hate yourself for your bad decisions, think about Labienus :)
Haha, that was cruel, lol!
he F more in his decisions than anyone could ever had. XD
If I revived Labienus, what would he think about?
LOL
@@trapbait1308 Where the hell am I and w....what is all this stuff?
1 hour and 37 minutes of Caeser dabbing on everyone
I can't believe that after all that, Caesar kept the Senate in Rome and mingled with them without a bodyguard. Insane. He died just a year after all this. Though I try to keep in mind, despite Caesar's brilliance in the battlefield, that the Senate was right. His dictatorship would lead to tyrant after tyrant, empoverishing Rome and causing civil wars. The weakened Rome was defeated because of this.
@@Grasslander I think it's a bit more complicated than that. Leaders, whether they're Caesar or not, are never a cause, always a symptom. Caesar happened because of the general corruption of politics in Rome. It would have been someone else, if not Caesar, who probably wouldn't have kept up the senate. At least, Caesar was brilliant, and although he broke the republic, he also defeated Rome's enemies. What came after him wasn't of the same quality, and not always had Rome's best interest in mind.
@@Grasslander you mean like the empire? Which lasted for hundreds of years?
@@Grasslanderthe republic would have fallen long before the empire ever did if it continued after Caesar. Augustus saved Rome and allowed it to continue long after he died. Imao Augustus and Caesar were the first examples of leaders who ruled with Iron Fists for the good of the people. Rulers who were tyrants but benevolent ones. And Augustus...he was the greatest politician EVER. The way he outmaneuvered his enemies...christ. the man could have talked a rock into sentience and taught it advanced physics.
@@samuellennon1984 You sure? The empire lost many of the essence of Rome
Titus Labienus was not just a former cesarean officer. He was the former 2nd in command and widely recognized as military genius equal to Caesar and Pompey.
FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HART, thank you for what you do.
wow i love this.. and i was also amazed how caesar was not only a general but a respectable admiral.
This is what happens if u declared war with a neighboring faction being confident in urself having 3 stacks of newly recruited militia army and then find out the enemy has 1 stack Elite Full Experienced Army in Total War
atm I play as celusic ampire and I have an army that has been around since beginning, I have abou 60-70% of world to myself and I feel like ceasar nurturing those golden men who relentlessly fight for me. Allways the first to clash witht the enemy and ensuring my other units dont rout.
Total war is a pc game?
@@shahul8222 Yes. Look up: Rome Total War.
Hey History Marche, would you like to continue the Hannibal series from Cannae to Zama? Im really like it and I would love see more videos!

Caesar had simply one of the best minds of any general, statesman or politician. He excelled in all areas, proved his bravery multiple times, cheated death, made the citizens love him, forged brothers that would die for him and transformed the republic forever. A truly great man whose death was a bitter moment in history, but made him a martyr.
I love the presentation so much, especially the audio. I keep watching it every time I remember about Julius Caesar.
Great work HistoryMarche team, a valuable addition to this period of history. Lots of detail, clear graphics and maps. Thank you.
My 50 minutes on the treadmill that usually seems like 50 hours felt like 15 mins.
Saving the remaining 50 minutes of this video for next time.
Love all the videos you make ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for watching :)
X. Legion: We dont want to fight anymore!
Caesar: Well, ok, its a shame that i need the new recruits to win the war for me.
X. Legion: Can we go?
Yeahhh, You really made my day, with this fabulous video about Caesar's Civil War. I have seen all the different parts, but to see it together is even so much better!
Mainstream is crap comparing to yours
Your videos are true art work
It's amazing how often these battles come down to a simple matter of fear. If you can do something to frighten and panic the enemy, almost nothing else matters.
"A Signifier inverted his standard and tried to kill Caesar with it. A legionary from his German bodyguard was there, and sliced off his hand, thus saving the General, and changing the course of history."
How ironic - Germans created the Empire, and Germans destroyed it.
Oversimplified.
Rome destroyed Rome..
*cries in roma eterna noises*
There were Germanic peoples on different sides, yes. Just like there were Romans who fought for and against Caesar.
Romans destroyed it.
WOW!
The amount of detail and work that went into this!
Absolutely amazing! Thank you so much!
It was said that it was Biggus Dickus who threw the pilla to Labenuis.
I believe this was at the battle of Fapsus.
I just smoked some Roman Red. lol
He's not the messiah..He's a very naughty boy.
Wasn’t that Labianus?
Kinda thought there would be more references than this lol
I can't describe the sheer awesomeness of these videos! just... brilliant. Thanx a lot!!
I hope history classes can one day be as good as this masterpiece. Love your videos keep up the good work
I’m bringing my popcorn and juice to an hour and half of excitement
this series next to the hannibal punic wars are best of its kind. Well done!
Thank you sir. Hannibal coming in a few days.
This is better than most films released these days. I often wonder if someone like Steven Spielberg were to make an epic movie on the life of Caesar, he,d have to make it into a series such as he did with Band of Brothers just to fit everything in. But could you just imagine it?!!!!
Sparta: we are the strongest we have best soldiers
10th legion: hold my sword
Spartans were strongest individually
Those legionnaires must have been extremely impressive physical specimens. They could march 1400 miles in a month, build giant fortifications stretching for miles in every direction in a matter of days, then fight from dawn to dusk, before going on another 100 mile march the next day. Their endurance and stamina was almost inhuman. Just shows what they human body is capable of when pushed to its absolute limits. Incredible.
Rome Wars: The Phantom Tribune
Rome Wars: The Attack of Gauls
Rome Wars: The Revenge of the Triumvirate
A New Emperor
The Empire Awakens
Rise Of the Empire
The men of the 10th are fearless and no wonder Caesar rate them so highly.
HistoryMarche, you caught me off guard! I would have prepared myself with everything necessary to watch such a long video.
Ceasar's Enemies: We have double your army's size
Ceasar: I have the 10th Legion
This kind of animation is the best cause it looks more realistic
An astonishing work as always HistoryMarche. What a time to be alive!
Omg you literally made my day. Am now at work I just opened the video to see a tip of the video and I found a 1.37 hour clip. LOOKS LIKE A GREAT MOVIE TO WATCH TONIGHT 🥳🥳
Really and truly I don't understand why would someone dislike this great documentary?
Those who disliked this video must have some serious mental issues.
Neither do I, but i think that there is people browsing the net, just to dislike whatever they find
@@ricardomaccotta6367 couldn't agree more.
You guys are the BEST when it comes to explaining battles, great graphics, and great explanations, visual and audible masterpieces!
this was amazing and so detailed. Thank you for taking time out to make it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Is there a dvd series of this?
I would definitely buy it.
Very informative,detailed and educational.
Julius Caesar is truly a titan of great commanders.
Interesting fact: Caesar was kidnapped by pirates in his mid 20’s. When they asked for a ransom for his release, Caesar was insulted at how low a price they had asked for. They upped the bounty, it was paid, and Caesar was released.. only to soon hunt the captors down and pay them back.. Liam Neeson style
Fantastic! Caesar was savage! Great series, so immersive, thanks!
HistoryMarche, do you plan on covering what happens to Hannibal after the battle of Zama, like how he fled from Carthage and stuff?
Yes sir. I'll cover Hannibal's journey until the very end.
@@HistoryMarche will you show al the campaigns and struggles of the roman side too, with as much detail, that is, everything that happens to Marcellus and Fabius Maximus ( which in my opinion they get very little attention for their efforts) and Scipio's campaign in Spain.
Thanks for your work,that was great. :)
Stunning, simply stunning
I seriously watch this to fall asleep. I’m not saying this is boring but it’s for some reason the only thing that I can listen to while trying to sleep
Something happens.
Caesar: let's build trenches.
Caesar: *Is outnumbered*
Also Caesar: Encircle them
@@Reignor99 Yeah you ever think the other guy was just. "How the **** did that happen??????" Right before his whole army falls apart?
You guys are the history channel of my childhood.
Thank you.
"Pullo! Will you follow me to Rome and drive these miscreants to the Tarpian Rock!"
"Sure thing chief!"
I read his history multiple times. He was a magnificent military genius 2nd to none
Excellent. Just excellent.
I just gotta say you, Kings and Generals, and "The Great War" single handedly educated me on so much history it's insane how I came from reading about wars and battles on Wikipedia or in school books in middle school and high school to there being fucking whole channels dedicated to IN DETAIL breakdowns of battles, the who's, and the why's of the events.
I love it thank you.
Thank you very much for tuning in.
History Channel, you're a hero with all these videos 🙏 Amazing job!!!
Over an hour long! This is a treat. 👍
Hey Dennis. Yeah, the idea is to combine all episodes so you guys can have a more enjoyable experience while watching, without having to click and skip to each episode. This way, it's all in one place
@@HistoryMarche great idea
Individual parts of the Roman Civil War skirmishes is really informative. I love when details are apparent. Not even Gaius Julius is invincible.
for me it was like watching a movie...thank you...and thank you again for this great work
Glad you enjoyed it!
I like a lot the way it is narrated!! Great job and great voice!
Great video as always!
Thanks! I really enjoyed it.

Great.. and it is rainy today. Something to watch tonight!!
Nice. I've seen it all before in parts, it's great
Best narration of the Roman civil war... I love history Marche
Thnks for the vedio please do alot of video....we still waiting hannibal series for months
Hannibal - Few days :)
Just watched a few videos building up to this exact moment...I’m ready let’s go 🤙
Wow! Can you club all your videos like this?
Also, can you make a playlist of all your videos in the series they happened? Like the video of oldest event should be placed at top and the latest event should be placed at last.
Hm, not a bad idea. I'll certainly consider doing that.
where is the double like button ( i am at my 3rd replay) !!! the map in this documentary is a masterpiece, could be used for future projects in a campaign game about ROME: Civil wars
Always great to see those collaborations! Love this videos :)

Thus History is one of the most important things that mankind created, this is why I love History, maybe it's seems like it's an old story, but it's linked with our present and future.

Good lord.. Caesar was a genius
Excellent. It was so good. Thank you so much for this video
I don't know what is the most amazing thing about ancient warfare. The close quarters that huge armies maneuvered in or how they built massive defensive ramparts like modern armies pitch a tent.
