Caesar is back and on a world tour again, baby #2: bit.ly/2PX5A4n Can I haz some likez, plox?
Cool
Btw, as I said in the last video, could you guys please do a history about each of the ancient greek poleis?
Can you do the battles of myriokephalon or baideng next pls K&G đ
Kings and generals could you outly all the reforms Caesar did it is not fair call him a tyrant for many reasons
Yes, but please continue the imjin war. And btw, who decides what video will be posted?
A time traveler from the future arrives in Ancient Rome and has a meeting with Caesar. Caesar asks âHow do I die?â The time traveler responds âSurrounded by friends.â

Yo top comment stuff thisđđ
BAHAHAHAHA !!
Caesar somehow had a moment of fatal misjudgement. He decided to go to war against the Senate and when he won, he thought that he could just walk in and mingle with the Senators without danger. he should have realized that they would probably take him out and acted accordingly.
Death to Tyrants.
Caesar to Pompey: "Why are you running? WHY are you running!?!"
Haha I read that in the voice.

Caesarâs Wars: the Battles for High Grounds
@Klaidi Rubiku The battles changed Rome from a republic to an empire, so it was not for nothing!
@Klaidi Rubiku Ceasar adopted Augustus and made him his heir, without Ceasar he would never had the chance to do what he did, Ceasar's civil war is a critical part in the formation of the Roman Empire.
It's over _Pompey,_ I have the high ground
If only anakin knew of rome's civil wars.
laughs in obi wan
Imagine being a guy from Pelusium who has trained for years in the art of war, being drilled over and over, all for the hope of seeing your family again, and you die in a skirmish.
Oof
Wouldnât that just be similar to police officers or soldiers today?
War is hell.
you would have been ready to die anytime once the war started anyway
Last time I was this early, Caesar was best buddies with Crassus and Pompey.
9 hours ago???
Hahaha
@@speakurmind555 He's a patreon
RIP Crassus. He could've held everything together with tons of sweet sweet cash.
Klaidi Rubiku I mean the King had to do it cuz Serena is too popular, popular enough to start a coup or revolt
Itâs amazing how much of an impact Caesar really had. Rulers no longer wished to be called âemperorâ or âkingâ, instead they wished for the prestige of being called âCaesarâ or âkaiserâ or âtsarâ. Amazing!
@Klaidi Rubiku kayser-i-rum...... Yeah.....
@Klaidi Rubiku "muslim leaders" and "muslim in general" doesn't go along. Btw did you forgets persia?
@Klaidi Rubiku they called their leaders shah not caliph, caliph is the title for Muhammad's successor
@Klaidi Rubiku do i have to stress that caliph is the title for Muhammad's successor only not every single leader usually this is tied to caliphate's leader. The ottoman is an exception, though
@Klaidi Rubiku not every sultan is a caliph but every caliph is also a sultan
Pompey: Time to stop Cesar
Cotta: I fled
Cato: I fled
Domitius: I surrendered and accidentally managed to give Cesar 3 extra legions
well damn, no surprise he lost
Pompey: I ran away with the legions you needed.
The ability to select apt lieutenants and delegate the effort correctly is a massive game changer.
meanwhile Caesar raised newbie legions who're able to defend against veterans lol. did he just have way more talented commanders or smth?
@@devvv4616 Probably. Many of his Commanders would have been with him in Gaul, meanwhile guys like Cato were Politicians for most of their lifes.
@@devvv4616 Often times it seems the forces of Pompey played it safe being content with repelling or harassing the forces of Caesar.
Caesar crosses the Rubicon...
Pompey and the Senate: We will defend Roma, by abandoning Roma.
How did Caesar come to be against Roma in a war in the first place?...
@@boulevarda.aladetoyinbo4773 Not sure if you're being sarcastic but Roma is the Latin name for Rome.
@@cinnamon3578 That's not my question.
@@boulevarda.aladetoyinbo4773 Ah I get you now.
As HBO Pompey puts it, it was a "tactical retreat".
Last time I was this early, Cato was a blue square.
carnifex2005
Good channel that one.
I see you're a man of culture
Historia Civilis? haha
win win win
AND CEASAR A RED ONE
I love how Pompey just sends old men to Sicily and Sardinia without an army. You guys go and hold the islands against any attacks. I believe in you
There are technically the local levies and garrisons there, they're just probably not very good because they've not actually fought before. Pompey just wanted to keep them out of reach of Caesar so that he could have the political legitimacy.
@@bryangan2224 There can be another reason: Those were highly respected and powerful men who were able to delay Pompey's own preparations for the war. Even though Pompey fought the Optimates' cause, in reality he was not much different from Caesar and didn't need any bureaucrats to prevent him from doing his thing.
Caesar, unfortunately, had the most insanely unrealistic amount of plot armor.
I heard rumors that they plan on killing him off next season
@@Prespanda Nope he is safe until the ides of March: spoiler alert
He himself had admitted that he was very lucky
"Unfortunately", yea, okay there pleb lol
@@bertchintus4103 hmm didnt the plebs favour ceasar?
The commanders sound a lot more skilled than in other videos.
Most of the times generals try to find a good position and send their troops into the fray, but here the Romans understand each other's plan when they spot troops moving, make maneuvers and counter-strikes, keep their cool and engage or withdraw as necessary. That makes the video really interesting to watch!
@Urarettin -D- Lexxar ancient warfare js mor eof numbers imo. If they said an army is comprised of large numbers it doesnt mean all of those are professional soldiery. Most of the time at least 70 percent of the armies are comprised of hastily levied unexperienced soldiers which is known as fodders with that in mind its safe to speculate for me at least that most casualties are the levied ones rather than the professionals since they can get a grasp and retreat unlike the fodder of the army. And also I think most casualties occurs when units start to break and rout imo.
@Urarettin -D- Lexxar There are definite exaggerations in all these accounts, hence the references to modern estimates instead of believing the victors verbatim. However, most of these battles are logically one sided because a constant series of even battles would make long term campaigning nearly impossible - see Pyrrhus and his failure to make significant headway in Italy despite constantly beating the Romans.
And as another commenter mentioned, most of these casualties actually occur during the rout, when the killing is basically 100% one-sided.
@Some thing although you make some strong points, thereâs a lot of evidence that the actual clash of battle lines didnât result in many casualties. It was when one side broke and ran that the slaughter began- which makes sense to me. I canât imagine trying too hard to kill someone when his friends are standing around him, but once theyâre split up, throwing away their shields and weapons... I imagine thatâs when people were killed.
I mean they studied all of Hannibal's strategy and adopted it after hundreds of years lol
Senate : You can't just march your army across the Rubicon and invade Italian soil!
Caesar : Lol horse hooves go splash splash
Caesar: Splish splash your opinion is trash
Today I watched a documentary about Julius Caesar, made by BBC. If I compare these two with last two episodes on Kings & Generals, BBC fails miserably, this YT channel is the best source for anyone, who is interested in history. Keep up the good work!
The legacy media are puppets intent on rewriting history to give their owners a pathway to control.
Which documentary?
Amazing that we are still talking about events of 2000 years ago.
True đ
@@guilhermehx7159 why that emoji
@@freckleheckler6311 because I find it to be funny
We talk about lots of things from 2000 years ago and more
Because of guys like Pompey, Caesar had to become very good at learning things the hard way. Great episode K&G guys! Can't wait for the next one!
Nope, Caesar was much better general than Pompey.
â@@JohnnyMaczeta Caesar was an excellent combatant, a great strategist, and a clever campaigner who was beloved by his men, some of whom were his close friends. Pompey himself was a good soldier and great strategist, although his tactical abilities were something to be desired, he did have decades of experience in war and was known to be a very careful and meticulous planner. Unfortunately for Pompey, Caesar was a born conqueror.
Im always astounded at just how thoroughly professional and âmodernâ the roman army was at operations in the field. I love the dan cain description of the legionaries being half soldier, half construction worker.
It's over, Caesar, I have the high ground
- You underestimate my power
Donât try it
Last time I was this early, the Gracchii brothers were still alive.
Was just watching HBOs Rome and about to call it a night then suddenly Kings and Generals crosses the Rubicon? Oh nevermind sleep. shout out from NZ
how's GBOs Rome? is it good?
@@88jrv98 It is the best, you must see it
@@88jrv98 Yeah definitely worth a watch, i binged it within like a week.
Better watch Cleopatra 1999 with Leonor Varela,Timothy Dalton and Billy Zane,it's better movie than the whole HBO series
HBO Rome is total jke thre are more sex scenes than battle scenes that show Caesar's genius
Always breaks my heart hearing about Caesar. Loved by the people and his army, strategically brilliant at every turn and pushed modern ideas to make Rome amazing. And then after all his threats had been dealt with... he dies. Still, he led the way for Octavian.
On the other hand, he was a brutal conqueror depopulating Gaul, killing and enslaving millions, ruining the country for decades and wiping a highly developed culture almost out of human memory. Because of hurt feelz, he started a civil war that cost thousands of Roman lives, and some of the best of their soldiers and leaders. He could conquer Rome but he failed as a ruler. He left the Republic destroyed but with nothing to replace it, causing another civil war lasting for more than a decade.
Yeah just like Hitler he was. Hitler came to power legally. With the support of the German nation he turned himself to a dictator while killing and jailing his enemies and the defenders of the republic. Only difference is that Hitler was more succesful at killing his enemies and more lucky to survive assassinations which gave him a chance to make a world war and gained 12 years after he turned himself into a dictator. Also he had a stupid mustache which Caesar did not have.
@@varana Killing, taking slaves was a way of life back then. Gallic tribes was the boogeyman for Romans before Caesar. They fought Romans and sacked Rome, killed thousands and looted the city simply because they could. So when Caesar got the upper hand he said it's my turn. Judging historical figures with today's ethics and morals is wrong. Because if you do that conclusion would be: They are all genocidal maniacs.
And he didn't fail as a leader or he didn't "leave" the republic destroyed. He got killed. But a forward-looking guy he was, he named Octavian as his heir way before he died. And Octavian started Rome's golden age, Pax Romana.
Caesar has a different place in history because even tho he was a ruthless, power hungry narcissist he did great things for his people. He worked for their well being not just filling his own coffers. That's why they worshipped him. I dare you to show me another leader in ancient world who loved by their people as much as Caesar did.
@@otgunz cringe
@@otgunz Pretty much. - Caesar is the "role model" for basically every aspiring "populist" right-wing movement since the beginning of the 20th century.
- Mussolini coined the term "fascism" for a reason. In comparison, "conservatives" rather admire the Roman Republic; also for a reason.
Damn Iâm so late the Roman Empire has already split into two empires
Give it a minute, it al split in three in a sec.
@@ReallyDazed then reunited and split again
Props to kings and generals for uploading this only 3 days after the first of the series was uploaded!!
"The Die is Cast."
Little did they know, Caesar had a +6 in his back pocket.......
Loving these longer form multi part episodes especially going into the political and diplomatic precursors of a war not just the campaigns themselves
The channel has improved immensly and is moving in the right direction.
Kings and Generals, would you like to do a series on the most important roman civil wars going all the way to 1453?
I hope he does
My god i know china has the record for most civil wars but if rome isnt in the top 5 ill be surprised as hell
Geberals Lmao
@Klaidi Rubiku and china has the 2nd biggest population im lretty sure india overtook them makes one wounder if china didnt have so many wars how big there population would be
I thin you're in the wrong channel.
Antony after Caesar crosses the Rubicon: "Very nice, Caesar-chan!"
Woa I was just watching the videos of Ceasar on Historia Civilis before I saw this
Just watched the battle of illerda a few days ago, really love seeing different channels' perspective and the same subject, it helps to cement your understanding of it.
Repetition legitimizes.
K&G please consider an in depth Gracchi brothers and Sula vs Mario!
Thank you for the amazing work
Watch mithradates of pontus and the mithradates wars on K&G. that covers Ă little bit on sulla vs Marius But yes an indepth coverage of sula vs Marius would be great.
It is crazy how valuable the veteran legions are in this war.
I fucking love this point in Roman history. There are few other points and places I can think of where there was such an epic combination of delicious political scheming, giants among men clashing on the field of battle, and badass quotes being thrown around left, right, and center.
Good to see that Labienus gets the praise he deserves here. Really an often overlooked figure in this timeline.
Yeah, he is basically never mentioned in tv series, movies, ... about Caesar. I at least can't remember one.
no one remember the loser side
Yeah, Caesar considered Labienus as his equal too
I finished HBO's Rome S01 yesterday, time to cross the Rubicon once more! Go XIII !
you guys make bloody good videos, making me wanna bingewatch history
I love this channel and have been a loyal follower for years, since the beginning almost. Iâm such a big fan that I get excited every time I see there is a new K&Gs video. As a history teacher, Iâve especially loved the amount of research that goes into your videos...so I was shocked when I saw âAnthonyâ as a name plate. Marcus Antonius was simplified in most primary sources to âAntonyâ, so itâs always confused me when people say Anthony, like the American singer haha. Iâm guessing this was an honest mistake but as such a loyal supporter, I couldnât hold my tongue on this :)...especially since you are doing a whole series on the Bellum Civile (which is the time period of Roman history Iâve spent years studying). Great work as always, otherwise! This remains my favorite channel on CZcams so keep it up!
"I am not a farmer" - Ceaser
And Pompey is not an apple
But I am a jellybean!
"MY CABAGES!" - Diocletian
"Why on earth would i want to be grain monitor?" - Brutus
I have read about the civil war and watched a few more documentaries before, but I love watching the ones on your channel like a noob just because of the amazing production quality, in-depth description, and amazing narration. Cheers!
like a noob? Honestly with how much Western society is oblivious to history (especially in the US). Anybody that takes the time to watch a lot of these videos would be far from considered a noob in comparison to the average person.
Time flies when you're having fun, and that was a fast 26 minutes. Thank you.
This choir-esque background soundtrack still gives me the chills every time itâs starting...
The times of the Roman republic are arguably the most interesting in the entire Roman history. From the punic and the macedonian wars to the fall of the Republic beginning from Marius up to the rise of Octavian.
I am as early as Caesar's arrival at Rome.
This just keeps getting Better! Please consider a video on what the shield designs and uniforms may have looked like by the various units on both sides of this civil war.
Thank You K&G! Great video again. Love You Guys.
When I first look at it I thought that person on the right is called Rubicon and he's crossed.
Brilliant Fellas as always and so looking forward to the next. Best channel I support!
My first time being here for a new release, Excellent work as usual!
Amazing as always. You and some other channels really reignited my interest in roman history.
Let us not forget how honorable Labeinus was during this time. He have the power to disband the Roman legions in Gaul or Send them in Germania as far as possible to Caesar. But no He did an honourable thing by just getting his bodyguards and fleeing to Pompey. Labeinus the only man who can do what Caesar do while he is busy doing his political work. Anthony failed what Labeinus can do with ease.
The legions would eventually understood Labienus plans so he would lost his cover
17:00 Caesar's legions really love to construct bridges....
they were like," you get a bridge, you get a bridge and you also get a bridge".
This is very well done. Thanks for this!
Great video. Love all the detail, because Caesar's Civil War was not just the better known battles, there was so much more.
I came. I saw. I subscribed.
Man ur videos are such high-quality, theyâre getting me through lockdown. Keep it up đ
Jojo Momo not the same thing?
The Warrior feel free to subscribe to my channel. I understand itâs optional, and I know itâs a big ask , but Iâd really appreciate it and Iâll be very thankful if u do.
Excellent series. Very nicely done.
I just love getting home from work, dinner cooked and ready, sitting down infront of the pc ready to eat and then see you posted a new video.
Hello, Kings and generals if you are reading this thank you for making a Roman civil war series! I am playing a brutii campaign in Rome I total war and I am in a civil war too! I hope this series can give me some tips!
Damn I love this period of history! And damn to do I love Kings & Generals for finally covering it! Much love guys keep up the PHENOMENAL videos
Fantastic work as always!
Thank you. I love these videos.
For everyone who wants more detail on the politics. there's a CZcamsr called historia civilis. he has videos detailing all of the politics leading up to and just before the crossing of the Rubicon. going all the way back to Cicero's year as consul.
Cross the rubicon, Don
He's not the savior you think he is, he's weak and dumb
You guys are just the best. Blows my mind. So thankful for you all!!
Thank you!
I love this channel. Thank you for this.
Very well done!
Maybe do one about the Amazigh (berbers) in North Africa, they have a very rich history and some moorish (Muslim berbers) outstanding dynasties like the Almoravids and the Al Mohads. A very overlooked time of the human histor
Thanks! Considering!
Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!
I love this. Thank you from Oregon!
Ceasar was so successful that thousands of years later the salads are still named in his honor
I hate it when people say that Julius Caesar was a tyrant and power-hungry. That's not true at all! I think he was very misunderstood. And still to this day people don't know who he really was!
Ofcourse he was VERY proud and very ambitious, but that's not the same as being a tyrant. He wanted to serve Rome and mean something, especially for the poor people!
He was very well known for his generosity and leniency. I really believe he had a good heart. And I wish he would have kept his heart away, from those COWARDS, who killed him.
they all died after, and the good thing is Ceasar's death made him being like God, the man who is
only less famous than Jesus.
@@gautruc True.
Cant wait for the next video. This is a thumbs up!
Another masterpiece. Keep up the good work!
5:30 "Caesar, my allegiance is to the Republic, to Democracy!"
it was more likely that Pompey would become the emporer of Rome had won because the senate had already given him all the powers.
I am really looking forward to seeing the battles of Dyrrachium, Pharsalus, Nicopolis the Siege of Alexandria battle of the Nile battle of Zela battle of Ruspina battle of Thapsus and the battle of Munda
I love you, you magnificent channel with magnificent maps
Thank you! It is the best present for my birthday!
Rome Total War ,it never gets old.
If Pompey hadn't stayed in Greece and pushed into Italy while Caesar was still in Hispania he would've surprised marc antony, probably destroyed Curio's forces, and pushed up to Rome with his forces. But oh well
Enjoyed!
The best Chanel I've discovered in years.
In the initial dispositions of the legions at Caesar's disposal, I note there are two Legio VIII and no Legio VI. An error, perhaps?
Last time I was this early the Republic was still stable.
So never then
Love this channel
Nice history video thanks đ
When you realize the mad lad actually did it
this series is going to force me to rewatch HBO's Rome
Very nice, surprising we still have such details on these events, even if a part is good sens or guessing, it remains very interesting.
Impatient to see the next one đ
Thank you!!
Pompey was an overrated comander in my opinion. He only dared to fight against his opponents when the numbers of his army were way superior.
He had the title of Conqueror of the East which Lucullus really deserved. Moreover, Pompey was totally defeated by a true military talent as Sertorius was.
At least he smart enough to use the numerical superiority?
@Klaidi Rubiku Salahuddin fooled a king by encountering him in a place where his whole army was dying from thrist.
when everything is calm inside The Roman Empire ... you know that soon will start a civil war...
probably they were bored , so they start to fight between them ,just for fun...
Another beautiful documentary about Rome. Well done.
Great video K&G's, can't wait for the next, keep up!
Last time I was this early the Romans deposed the Etruscan monarchy
"Call of War" is one of the worst game i had ever played
Even the name itself is just cringe
Oh, it is? I thought it looked great. I love the genre. Oh well, ;(
Theyâre just trying to fund their channel man
Sounds like someone who sucks at the game, you need strategy, ruthlessness and an ability to make choices when it comes to allies
Good work as always
9am on a Sunday morning and a new video from K&G you know itâs gonna be a good day!
This seems way too relevant as someone who lives in the US right now
Two parties that are firmly entrenched and refuse to do anything to help the people but just fight among themselves for more power and money making the founding fathers roll in their graves? Nah.. you're obviously just tripping
Except instead of great titans like Caesar and Pompey there are people who one would barely call leaders running things in the US.
We still haven't found our Sulla and Marius, much less Caesar or Pompey.
And to think I wanted to see this series continue. Not when money goes to terrorists it aint.
Cry about it, baby
Finally! I've been looking forward to this
I love the Total War music during the battle scenes.. so fitting for a video about a Roman civil war
