  • 3d animation describing the events that followed after the capture of Rome by Caesar and the retreat of Pompey in Greece in march 49BC, based on Caesar's own account.
    With Italy secured, lacking a fleet to cross the sea and follow his enemy in Greece, Caesar decides to take his army to Spain and attack Pompey's loyal legions located there.
    Delayed on the way by the opposition of Masillia, Caesar sends forward his legions into Spain.
    In june 49BC he resumes his march and joins his men at Ilerda, Both sides engaged in a 2 months campaign of maneuvering, with Caesar facing attrition and major weather events.

      "Armchair Historian" cover most timeline in history, art-work on important people to famous person in history, with model in animation + some face came.
      "Invicta" cover more story, moments & facts, reinforced by alot very nice art-work ( sometime's simply but full of detail & colors ) from Ancient time to Modern day + some live footage.
      "BazBattles" forcus more on bird eye views on event & battle formation, with detail terrain & weather in good quality while cover around Ancient time to late Medieval era (with some Game of Thorns)
      "Historia Civilis" have very simple bird eye views but add some humor to his work, using lots of colorful "square" people and cover some Ancient Greece, then Macedonia & Rome history (so far)
      "Kings & Generals" have ... "general" bird eye views perspective on event & battle, lots of art-work, using Total Wars footage, great narator, cover more timeline in history, sometimes showing battle in 3D, but with good quality overall.
      ( I love watching all of there Channels video, but didnt know about HistoryMarche & just found Syntagma hours ago. Still, so far "Syntagma" have the most detailed & impressive 3D model, good looking terrain & transition to bird eye views. I really like the History of both Roman Republic & Roman Empire, and i can't wait to watched more video from this channel.)
      Im sorry for this unnecessary long comments, but im glad if you read all of them. I wish you have a good day & good fortune in your future.

    Not only was Caeser a great general. But his soldiers under him had genius minds also. From building two bridges to anticipating the enemies movement. To the fact that when they knew they couldn't march fast enough for their reinforcements to come they instead marched in the opposite direction and found high ground to set up a defense.

    Caesar's greatest advantage as a military leader was the total respect and adulation he gained from his legions. He earned this early in his military leadership career by actually leading battles at the head of his legions and showing them he was willing to take the same risk he was ordering them to take. As the years went on this reputation preceded him and he continued to have this incomparable devotion and loyalty from his fighting forces.
