  • Julius Caesar is one of the monumental figures of history. He forged the role of Emperor and was worshipped as a brilliant general and reformer, but he was killed by the people who knew him best.

    I remember back in the late 90s, channels like History Channel, A&E and PBS used to have some really good ancient rome (and medieval) documentaries back in the days. I think they officially stopped making good quality documentaries at the end of 2006. If you are a history or social studies teacher, these are a gem to show during class or just watch on your own.

    Cesaer’s influence on Western Europe in its Classical leanings instead of a Celtic one was a major legacy still evident today.

Calling Caesar particullary cruel IS funny when they skipped over what gauls or Germanics did.

      His achievements were pretty spectacular. You could make an argument that conquering the East wasn't terribly impressive because they'd already been scattered by Pompey, decades before, and you could say that his conquests in Britain and Gaul were less impressive than he made them out to be (quite likely, actually), due to Roman technological and organizational superiority relative to the forces he'd met, but the fact of the matter is he still successfully defeated one of the most accomplished and celebrated generals in Roman history, Pompey, and defeated several successive Roman armies afterward, as well. Pompey was in a better position and he was better supplied, and Caesar still won, further establishing the impressive nature of his victories. That's only to speak of his military successes, as well. His political successes were arguably as impressive.

    Excellent series & brilliantly presented by ⭐️ Mr. Robinson (as usual). Even though I consider myself a history nerd, I realized how little I know about this era & Caesar except 'et tu Brute' lol. 🙄 (I kind of know more about the Medici. Yes, I know, TOTALLY different era) I also enjoy the true history vs. legend/Hollywood version. ie: Spartacus wasn't really what the movies make him out to be. *I'm really enjoying these episodes. I'll be looking for more to educate myself on this line of rulers*
    ~Help: > *If anyone has any other recommendations, it would be much appreciated!!* < 😊 (I watched Mary Beard on Caligula, so far) I prefer UK historians/presenters.

      I'd recommend the novels by Robert Harris on Cicero ... very factual. Harris really understands Julius Caesar as a ruthless reckless animal.
      Harris shows his character in a way that you don't see in the Hollywood films that glorify his wars, and ignore what he was doing: invading lands, killing people & stealing their possessions.
