- Dig into the personal and political assassination of Roman dictator Julius Caesar, and find out why his senators plotted against him.
--
On March 15th, 44 BCE, Roman dictator Julius Caesar was assassinated by a group of about 60 of his own senators. Why did these self-titled Liberators want him dead? And why did Brutus, whose own life had been saved by Caesar, join in the plot? Kathryn Tempest investigates the personal and political assassination of Julius Caesar.

whether or not julius did say something to brutus, the fact that he just immediately gave up the fight at the mere sight of the boy whom he treated like a son is heartbreaking enough
That gave chills to me😭
That made me feel very sad.
Was caesar ambitious? Ask my channel...
Tbh I don’t feel sorry for Cesar, he probably tortured and killed thousands of people before that...
@@fabrice6847
He's very kind to his own people but cruel to people who oppose him, he's cruel and ruthless in war but after the war end, anyone (the enemy) who support him will get pardoned, while others who's in war Captives tortured
They said: “The worst part of betrayal is that it doesn’t come from your enemy”
How can your enemy betray you?
Edit: they can
Edit 2: so I have started some sort of debate, it's been a year and it just keeps on happening, I lost track at this point
@@shaheerthekhan oh it's possible. It's possible......
@@lallorona787 ohhh, like pretending to be nice, I wasn't thinking properly
@@shaheerthekhan no they can't. If you call them an enemy, then they can't be nice. That's contradictory. If the person acts nice but turns out to be an enemy, then that's the same as a betrayal from a friend. You were thinking right!
I think he means that it's more worst to be betrayed than be killed by an enemy
"So you killed caesar to save the roman republic."
Brutus: "yes"
"what did it cost?"
Brutus: "the roman republic."

Did you watch the video too?
I always find the part of Caesar stopping his resistance after he sees Brutus so heartbreaking
I literally almost cried lmao
i definitely have actual tears in my eyes
Mary Jane Smith I know, right? 😭
Yep..my heart hurts 😭😭😭
Mary Jane Smith same. it breaks my heart. being betrayed by someone you love.... that's cruel & deeply painful
Also worth noting that Brutus’ mother was a long time mistress of Julius Caesar. So judging by the way Caesar treated him (and by the way he reacted when he saw Brutus with the conspirators) I believe It’s a good chance Brutus was Caesar’s son.

Deadass makes me kinda mad😂
i read this in pearl's voice
I feel a bit bad about how Caesar gave up fighting when he saw Brutus, the boy whose life he had saved and raised like a son. It’s shattering to be honest. I can’t imagine what Brutus also must have gone through after witnessing that scene. Caesar also must have been heart broken. The want for power broke both Caesar and Brutus.
I dont think Brutus was affected much after that considering how he literally went on with his plan after Caesar's death
Well, Ceasar was heart-broken but only for a minute or so.
@@duck1sgood Brutus did feel bad, he loved Caesar. He once said in the play, ‘It’s not that I love Caesar less but I love Rome more’. Cassius brainwashed him. Brutus was a noble person but as once Cassius put it ‘Brutus’ nobility could be moulded’.
@@irenashiloh8808 ‘Cause within a minute he was dead
"I loved that man"
He said as he plunged the knife in his neck😂
If his last words were actually "And you child?" I'll be rolled up in a corner crying by now
That part really got me too
Yeah, its rly sad.. a better translation would be 'even you, child?"
Jojo! This is the last of my Hamon!
TAKE IT!!!
His last words are: et Tu quoque brute, fili mihi
@@matteocamoirano6128 meaning?
"Tu quoque,Brute,fili mi."
"Even you,Brutus,my son".
The most dramatic quote in history perhaps...
@The Ranch It is a famous latin expression here in Italy. I've read that in English-speaking countries the expression attributed to Caesar before dying is "Et tu, Brute", from one of Shakespeare's works (I think you study it in schools in the UK or in the USA).
Anyway, "Tu quoque, Brute, filii mi" derives from what Suetonius (a writer lived during the Roman Empire, so after Caesar death) reported in its work.
Btw, either "Tu quoque, Brute, fili mi" or "Et tu, Brute" are hypothesis on his last words, are only speculations. When something nearly becomes a myth, however, it's difficult to unravel the mistery of how things really went and a coat of uncertainity still remains.
It was Shakespeare who made the line famous. There is no reason to believe Caesar actually said anything like it.
Luis Alejandro, I'm sure I've read the same accounts as you. There is NO definitive evidence that he said such a thing. He MIGHT'VE said something like, "You too, my child." There are similar credible accounts stating he said nothing. Shakespeare popularized the statement, though.
If he said any dying words, they were likely "καὶ σὺ, τέκνον" (kai su teknon).
Davide Gobbicchi what are the odds that he even said anything like this ?
Betrayal never comes from enemies.
unless your batman
How can an enemy betray you? They were never on your side to begin with.
thats kind of the point...
Water is wet.
+Jack Padden What a fascinating observation.
"And you child?"
if you listen to it closely you can hear me weep
Well.....
After they kill him they read ceasure will. He gave everything he own to Brutas his King, money, name, and legacy so Brutas would of been call Brutas Ceasure and in it says he saw him as his son.
@@cheetopuffs2580didnt he have a son
@@ilqar887 Maybe? But whether he did have a son or not, he's probably also died by now.

"Name a salad after me."

"And you child?"
I died a little
A lot of people don't understand Caesar's last words, which, if the sources are correct was in Greek, "Kai su, teknon" Literally translated it means you too child, but it is actually a Greek idiom that in ancient times would have been more properly rendered, "screw you, kid."
@@Rikalonius seems more proper.
@@Rikalonius Mmm well caesar most likely didnt say anything so i wouldnt take that statement to literal
@@JoelCastro5206 Course Caesar talked while getting stabbed, he said “Arghhhhhh” and “Urghhhhhh”.

Yup!

Sorry fam... 😞
On the plus side, you got named after a salad tho🙃
For someone to be killed by the very person you trusted and treated as a son, that pain is unimaginable. Anyone would've lost their fighting spirit right there and there.

ivynbean I always thought it was the fact that caesar sidlined him in his regime,coupled with the vitriol from people like cassius.
I Think it's a lot of things, obviously it's hard to analyze things that happened 2 millenia ago
ivynbean Fair point.
The legacy of Brutus: the word “brutal” comes after him. I never met or knew anyone named after Brutus.
The legacy of Julius Gaius named the Caesar: the word “caesarean”, the month of July, the word “Czar” and so on. I met many men called “Julius” or “Caesar”, the latter being not rare in Italy.
Not mention, "Little Caesar's", my go-to weekend takeaway.

Except Caesar probably never said that. That line comes from the play Shakespeare wrote that shows his version of those events.
Steven Choza True.
Lord Kitty U cool af😎😎😎😎👍🏻
Lord Kitty actually it was 'Eh Tu Brutus!'
I will admit that Shakespeare’s story (at least my interpretations of it) didn’t really deliver the same emotional message. This story is absolutely heartbreaking to hear and think about. Caesar wasn’t a great person, but I would be willing to bet he loved Brutus.
Plus, to survive at least 10 stabs before dying is an act of amazing resistance of pain.

"Never fear your enemies, fear your friends, because your friends will betray you, your enemies won't."
👌👌
This quote kinda sucks tbh
Gaius Cassius Longinus was brother-in-law to Brutus and was also a Pompeyan. Cassius profoundly disliked Caesar, but Caesar had spared his life too, recognizing his abilities as a leader.
Decimus Junius Brutus was a distant cousin of Brutus, who was even closer to Caesar. He'd been a commander under him, a political ally, and a close friend who'd dined with him the night before. Decimus was even named in Caesar's will as an heir.
Servilius Casca was a childhood friend of Caesar's, but joined the assassination along with his brother Titedius, as did one of the firmest supporters of Caesar's, Tillius Cimber, and Caesar's ally and former legate, Gaius Trebonius, who'd gotten him extra years as governor and served with him in Gaul and Britain.
So there might be some truth to that.
Yup trust your enemies, your friends always change.

Beautifully animated and well-researched, but I do feel that the writers of this video have taken the more optimistic and idealistic view of Brutus that Shakespeare popularized, where he was an honourable man standing up against tyranny that he thought would destroy the Republic. In reality the Republic was as corrupt and inefficient as they come, and Brutus was no exception to this. He was a part of the corrupt and broken system that he claimed to fight for, and he was more than happy to accept the honours and titles that Caesar himself gave him.
I agree with you for the most part. The libertator cause was a complete lie that members of the senate told itself to justify the murder. Rome was already an empire by the time Julius was born and there have been times were the position of dictator was used for extended periods of time. However, in my opinion, Brutus may have been more of a tragic hero rather than a simple traitor. Lineage was important back then, and since he was badgered so much by the conspirators, it makes sense that he became a turncoat.
may have what?
WheresWallace4883 I agree fully that the Republic was not worth saving to begin with and that many senators were opportunists BUT men like Cato, Scipio, Cassius, Cicero, and Brutus were willing to die for what they thought was the just thing to do.

Audial Architect LMFAO dude best reply
Ah, thank you!
The "Republic" was merely an oligarchy, where a tiny class of the rich and powerful concentrated power and wealth in their hands. Caesar may have been a "tyrant", but he gave a voice to the common people and drastically improved their standards of living. I support democracy, but I feel as though Caesar was the good guy in this case.
Dylan Hiner Caesar was universally adored by the common people, unlike Trump, who is a highly polarising figure. Caesar was also talented and respectable, whereas Trump is simply Homer Simpson with inherited wealth.
a major difference is that that Gaius Julius Caesar was an actual military leader and knew how to fight while trump does not. also Julius actually held political office. In Rome, the civil carrier is synonymous with military carrier. To say that Julius (Julius is his family/last name) is like Trump is not an accurate comparison.

+Jesus Izquierdo to be fair Julius was power hungry
+Jesus Izquierdo Actually, the power that Caesar was accumulating was scary for a lot of people. He had too much power, and no one was going to be able to stop him if he did something drastic.
+rinrin a. ... You mean, scaring the other Senators that wanted more power? The Roman public loved him, and for good reason.
+Ka Long Tang what good reasons ? how do you know ?
Never betray your friends. If they are on a wrong path, tell them calmly. If they don't listen, tell them that you love them and walk away until they realize their mistake.
Caesar isn't only your friend. He's your boss, father figure, and ruthless dictator. Complicated eh?
@@voightkampffchamp ruthless? isnt the video mentions that he is a kind and effective leader?
@@shiberu_7s he was only ruthless during war to protect his people which anyone with a brain would do
My friends aren’t rulers of massive trans continental empires.
@@CasualCat64 he literally killed 2/3 of all people in Gaul. That’s not war that’s genocide.
This was really well made. Bravo!
Strange - I though he died by being beaten up by a scantly clad Aztec man and then crushed by a crucifix shaped boulder
You got this Ceasar confused from the one Bible that died like that.
@@Jackjames02 Bible? The bible PALES in comparison to the teachings and blessing of our Lord and Savior Araki
SHIIIIIIIIIZAAAAAAAAAAA
What the Fricc is the rest of these comments talking about
Ouch my back hearts.
"For the Watch"
"For the fuckin watch indeed."
Was just about to comment about the watch lol
damn you beat me to it
Good job
omg...
3:40 Makes me cry every single time 💔😭
☹️☹️☹️
this broke my heart into pieces, what’ve you done Brutus
But Julius wasn't a bad dictator he helped Rome in a couple ways and even then Rome went back to an empire so it was almost got nothing
for*
+Sticky the Squid yet, Sulla had been dictator for 10 years but no Senate conspiracy. Wanna know why? Because Sulla was Senate's bitch, and increased patricians' powers.
Rome was NOT an actual republic, it was an aristocracy
oligarchy...
+Ken Keller yes, didn't remember the term. Thank you :)
Because Sulla was not forgiven to anyone. Same stands for Octavian. Caesar's ultimate that he trusted too much the guys he was forgiven for.
Anything happens
Greeks and Romans: K I L L
This’ll make you a dweeb
French too
When caesar die
Roman People : *SHIZAAAAAAAAAAAAAA*
What is this?
Jojo's Bizzare Adventure part 2 - character named Caesar
(It references a spoiler)
????
Take my hammond
Jojo, this is the last of my hamon!! Take it!!
The death of Julius Caesar is one of the most painful assassination I have ever heard... It's heartbreaking.
Problem with monarchy is that no matter how good king or queen is.... one of their succecors would be oppressive.
exactly
Yet a benevolent dictator is always better than any democracy. Thus the result of these two facts is the tragedy, that we may never have an optimal government for extended periods of time.
I have yet to find a solution, anyway. Inheritance of the throne being removed seems to fix the problem at first glance, but it brings with it its own hoard of problems.
This is an old myth that comes from the Dark Ages. Back then a king could be a madman or sociopath because of low public health standards and poor national communication. Ivan the Terrible, for example, drank mercury to try to quiet his psychoses, and Vlad Tepes' crimes were unknown to the uneducated masses. Did you ever notice how many of the greatest monarchs in history were the most modern? The changes in health and infrastructure provoked that development.
The truth is, democracy doesn't prevent tyranny. If anything, it exasperates it. The greatest tyrants of the twentieth century, and indeed history as a whole, arose either by a coup or from democratic systems. Many even rose to fill the vacuums that monarchy left behind. In a modern world of constitutions and accountability standards, monarchy is arguably the most effective form of governance.
@@Nikolapoleon Dracula's crimes were known throughout his territory, Germany, and Russia thanks to how visible they were and early printing presses enabling the distribution of pamphlets about his deeds. Monarchs were highly oppressive in other countries even as communication improved overall to boot.
this... actually makes me cry.. I don't know why.
"And you, child?" Then he gives up. It's like he was thinking: "If Brutus wants me dead, then there's no point in living."
I love how Ted always creates different looking person with shadows and so much of detailed background Thnk u Ted ☺
The "And you Child" touched my heart.
It's surprising how little thought they gave to the aftermath of their plot, you would think they would be concerned with the mobs and those loyal to Caesar seizing power after his death, leading to a worse situation. It's also interesting to see how, yet again, as seems the case throughout history, betrayal is followed by tragedy for those involved (i.e. they, and most everyone around them, would have been far better off with the status quo and they painfully realized it afterwards).
And _this_ happened exactly 2063 years ago...
*P.S.*: Outstanding video, as always!
Dude where did you get that prophile picture
@@theimmortalemperor3605 Huh... now that you point it out... to be fair, I don't really know. =))) I guess I just found it somewhere randomly on the internet, and despite wanting to change it for a few years, I've never actually done it for some reason... thanks for reminding me, haha! xD
@@WillelmusAestus soooo did you change it yet ? If yes, what was it before bro ?
@@yeahbutontheotherhand Haha, nope. xD
I swear I remembered multiple times and actually searched for things, but haven't actually found something I'd really like. =)
Guess it'll take a while. If it won't be a pic of me or something I myself have drawn, then I'll need to search for something that is, well... not copyrighted of course.

I remember reading Julius Caesar as a part of my curriculum in school. Our teacher used to assign a character from the play to each one of us.
Wow! Happy memories ☺️
This is insanely inspiring for story tellers
Caesar sai "Tu quoque Brute, fili mi?", that means "You too Brutus, my son?" Brutus was his adopted son, that's why he stopped fighting back.
Another thing I think you didn't mention is the fact the the second stabbing was the fatal one
Historians are still arguing on who among the two Brutus did Caesar treated as a son. I think the evidence sides more on Decimus Brutus and not Marcus Brutus (the more famous Brutus). Decimus Brutus was Caesar’s right-hand man, the one who convinced him to attend the senate meeting, and was named second heir next to Octavian. So odds are, if there was really indeed a Brutus that Caesar saw as a son, it was Decimus.
Actually it was the 3rd stab which went between his ribs.
@@OneTyler2Many it was from casca's brother right?
We don’t know what he said but if he said anything similar to “and you my son?” It was in Greek “Kai Su, Teknon?”
He was a close friend to Julius right?? He could've just said "Hey bro, think about it tho, you have like, so much power, I think you should take it down a notch before we turn into a monarchy again," and seeing that ending, I'm sure that Julius would understand his point of view completely. This was all a big misunderstanding and it could've been solved by just talking to the man himself. But no, they had to do it Game of Thrones style didn't they.
+Mayu Well, I'm pretty sure they DID talk about it - Brutus had sure tried to convince him. But some people are interested in nothing except for power for its own sake (like Napoleon, Hitler, etc) - he couldn't simply give up the opportunity of becoming the strongest man on Earth.
+Etrandir well that's just downright selfish ._.)
this time doubtless is defferent about us .. think in it
+Etrandir power was needed in order to change Rome for the better. Caesar wasn't someone who selfishly wanted power. He gave the citizens a large amount of his fortune if he died. That's why the citizens riled up and pushed the "liberators" out of Rome. The reason he was killed was because The Senate was extremely corrupt. Most of them was against Caesar. Brutus was persuaded greatly in order for him to join them. And even then they made him a scapegoat for their murder. Because his family already destroyed monarchy and he was a close friend of Caesar it would seem like they did it for the greater good instead of personal grudges.
***** we don't know if he did asked or not. And Julius was loved by the people, why would he think he was doing anything wrong even if Brutus did ask.
This story gives me chills every time. A true timeless tale.
what a tragic story. Thank you for such story telling.
I was today years old, when I realized
July was named after Julius Ceasar 🤯
Yeah today is the day where i found out that a man was named after a month
And another roman emperor Augustus was the namesake for August
Yes and June was named after the Roman goddess Juno
Yeah and Jelly was named after him too
@@DacStudiosEntertainment Yes, people are named after months all the time. But it something else to have a month named after you.
Reminds me of betrayal at work. People I trusted and helped trained and even stood up for. Back stabbed, frauded me and got me fired from work.
World will never be just. Its just you.
In the end its just you
W.O.W yo should go back and kill them all one by one.
Unfortunately we live in a different World now
+Moneygetjealous call the black men tp line and beat the shit out of them
Lol i woulda love to call them out on that in the workplace for everyone to hear.. Just to put that deep, gnawing feeling of betrayal in their hearts that ultimately takes away all the pleasure from the achievements they're about to have. Not to really gain anything or not even to convince the others that I was right.
Altho as a consolation I want to say if you're the type of person that helps others its just good that you got out of _that kind of place_ you know what im sayin'? Good luck to u mate.
Caesar's dying words when he sees Brutus-
*heavy breathing... "Brutus, I am your father!"
Thank you for this informative video. We are excited to read the play.
