*starts adding days to calendar*
Hahahhaha XD
It was half passion project and half political exploit. Love it! haha
Edit: And now thinking about it, that pretty much sums up Caesar's entire life.
That's not how years work. The Roman calendar didn't have enough days to make a full year, but the gap was big enough that they would have noticed after a couple of years. (Hard to sow fields in driving snowstorms.) The old solution was to just not announce the new year until a full year had passed...and IIRC, the guy who decided exactly when the new year started was the Pontifex Maximus, aka Julius.
...All of which was mentioned in the video, embedded in the description of Julius adding days to the calendar.
“Wait thats illegal!”
@@timothymclean I doubt there were many driving snowstorms in southern Italy :P
"We must stop giving Caesar power!" cried the senator as he gave Caesar more power.

For anyone interested in what happened to Arsinoe and Juba; Arsinoe joined the temple of Artemis in Ephesus and was murdered by roman soldiers in the temple on the orders of Mark Antony.
Juba fortunately, has a happier story. He was romanized and became renown as a highly educated man. He fought on the side of Augustus at the battle of Actium and was eventually reinstated as King of Numida and married Cleopatra Selene, Arsinoe's niece and daughter of Cleopatra and Mark Antony. He wrote books on a variety of topics in Greek and ruled into his old age to be succeeded by his son, Ptolemy.
Of course his sons name was Ptolemy hahaha

Judging by these views, more people watched your animation of the 4 triumphs than there were people actually attending them
Isn't that a weird thought? You're right, more people have seen this video than were... I dunno. Present to see anything, before around about the 20th century.
that's such a random thing to think about but you're super right.. I don't know what to make of this information though
@@NuernbergLP by studying history we can better prepare ourselves for challenges to our species
caarcrinolaas how will comparing CZcams views to the audience of a triumph help us prepare for challenges to our species
At least half of those views are just me rewatching this series, so I wouldn’t be too sure about that.
caesar at least had his priorities right. even with a ton of power, he was not going to let an outdated calendar to continue going
This is why his assassination was so unpopular. He was generally doing many positive things.
It is really amazing that we use almost the same calendar even now
Power is nothing if an inaccurate calendar fucks up regular life, like building and harvesting
And he still somehow didn't put September, October, November and December in the right spot.
Dude he was a vain authoritarian. But I have to admit, I can't help rooting for him.
@@heszedjim9699 The Roman calendar started in March.

@@holdenmacdonald1825 roflmfao
Ka-pow!
He was a very grounded man 🤡
The Senate was too dangerous to be kept alive
“Ok Caesar your term is up, it’s the last day of the year”
Caesar: “we ain’t done yet”
Caesar: "hold my roman calendar"
It's crazy to think that in the middle of some of the wildest shit that has happened to any human being alive, Caesar took a break to work on redesigning the calendar into a new system that worked so well it was pretty much unchanged for the next 2000 and widely used by the whole world (I understand we use the Gregorian now, but the only difference between the two is the implementation of periodic leap year skips for accuracy)
It's so interesting to me how much influence the mob had. The fact that Caesar spared two people he was planning on killing due to their demands is pretty impressivr. Or maybe he didn't plan on killing them at all but knew the crowd would demand their lives be spared and paraded them out solely so he could look like the "merciful victor." This video was really interesting. Thanks
Caesar was a populist, his power came directly from the plebian class, angering them would drop the shield that protected him and spell his doom, the elite classes of Rome already hated him, they just could do anything against him because he had the mob on his side.
The elimination of prominent prisoners at the end of triumphs appears to have been custom at the time. None of that was planned by Caesar.
It would be interesting to see numbers of how many times citizens interfered versus how many times they actually applauded the act.
I very much suspect that Caesar never intended to kill either Arsinoe or Juba. Having a spare heir to put into place in Egypt if needed was too valuable to waste, as was having a child that could be Romanized and put on the throne in Numidia (which is precisely what happened). Yes the mob had power, but Caesar was notorious for manipulating the mob. I've read that he would often have some of his soldiers in civilian attire distributed through the mob to agitate them one way or another. It's easy to imagine Arsinoe being presented in as positive a light as possible while Caesar's men started riling the crowd to demand she be spared and Caesar would have to "give in to the crowd". All staged of course.
@@Kelnx Thank you for posting this. Interesting reading
To me, the goreish depictions of roman paintings prior to the numidian king was to rile the crowd up.
He most assuredly assumed the crowd apprehension of killing a child, so in order to normalize it he played to sympathy for fellow countrymen in order to keep crowd favor when the time came. But it seems like it didn't work and they still opted to spare the child instead.
"THIS MINOR IMPERFECTION IS UNACCEPTABLE"
I agree
They're going to completely forget about this by the 49th Century, boy are they going to be surprised!
Yeah that line confused me, I mean how else would we adjust the calendar drift every 49 centuries? It doesn't seem like that big of a deal to have such a small imperfection
Lunisolar 'till the end, boys.
Well if they forget to patch this bug in the calander in about 7 million years January is going to be a summer month, and that would be quite the disaster.

7:25 - A 2100 year old Latin drinking song translating to a dirty limerick that rhymes in English will remain one of the greatest mysteries of all time.
I live in Iran and many of my friends can speak English to a level. They also know a little about Caesar and when you know "a little" about Caesar, that "little" is him being adulterous. I read the song for them in rhythm, and they burst into laughter. That amazed me how a 2100 years old song can still make people laugh. Although we have centuries old COMEDIANS whose jokes are extremely funny (and usually extreeeeemely dirty), even though they were Muslims, unlike me and my friends.
That's a very clean one and I don't know if translated by my limited knowledge of English, it would still be funny or not:
Sultan was laying down, putting his head on the thigh of Talkhak (his jester).
Talkhak, asked Sultan, What are you to the whores?
A pillow, said Talkhak.
Told by Obeyd Zakani, circa 14th century C.E
@@hosseynshanbehzaadeh9342 it’s not belly shaking laughing, but I see the joke. Your English is definitely good enough to talk and have a solid conversation. Joke would only need a little polishing to be good in English.
Technically, it's not a limerick
A limerick is always 5 lines with an AABBA rhyme scheme, where the translated poem is 4 lines & has an ABCB rhyme scheme. Limericks are a common format for dirty poems, but not all dirty poems are limericks.
@@rafaravioli For the words yes but English grammar is far more similar to Germanic Languages than Romance ones.
The more I learn about Caesar the more I’m honestly sad about what happened to him.
Sounds like you picked only the pearls of trivia about him.
If you dig deep enough that sadness will subside.

6:33 The way you made the little square wiggle to demonstrate how Caesar crawled his way up the steps on his knees was legit the funniest thing I've seen today. I've got this mental image of the crowds observing and copping an eyeful of Julius' arse.
I'm sure the Goddess was well pleased indeed.

@NurturingTalents
Also, he didn't WANT to burn the library. In fact he told his men to stay away from it. But it was damaged in the fight anyway.
Also when the Muslims attacked it, they went out of their way to destroy every single scroll they found. Although by the time this happened, not many people cared about the library anymore anyway
@Green CatGurl Umm...no? Only a part of the library was burned and accidentally at that, and they know that some of what was burned had already had copies made and the library was rebuilt. The main reason for the library's end was from lack of funding and dwindling membership. Also, the claim that it stored the world's collective knowledge and that it was the only place that knowledge was stored is just blatantly false, because there were other libraries and there were other parts of the world that had knowledge the Library didn't have access too. Like, do you think the Library was storing knowledge from the America's? China had it's own libraries. Anitolia had a plethora of famous libraries that were around the same time as Alexandria. Beyond even that, the claim that there even was a Dark Age, let alone one initiated by the burning of Alexandria, is a notion that has been almost completely refuted by modern historians. It's especially ridiculous when you consider that the time period that had once erroneously been referred to as the Dark Ages didn't start for over another 1000 years from when Alexandria burned. And as other's pointed out, it is a tragedy that the library burned, but your claim is so way off base, you can't even see the ballpark.
@Green CatGurl My son, what caused the “dark ages” was the fall of the Western Roman Empire. You see, when the Barbarian hordes invaded Roman territory they sacked and razed a LOT of towns and cities, and some of these cities contained libraries which held most of the ancient Greco-roman knowledge. Since Barbarians made no distinction between books and loot they destroyed these libraries anyway, and the loss of all that ancient knowledge was the cause of the dark ages.
Great video. Excellent work. Shout out to Historia Civillis and everyone who makes these videos possible!

I love how informative this was.
Another thing that Caesar planned to do around this time was to divert the Tiber, in order to bring the Vatican and Janiculum hills into the city and create a new Campus Martius to replace the old one that had slowly been built over by various developers.
It would also destroy the land Cicero had been planning to buy to use as a shrine to his recently-deceased daughter.

Seriously tho, the storytelling is so great that the visual effects are warped into something marvelous. It's been 4 days straight that I am bilgewatching the entire channel.
Just found your channel today. Fascinating!
I love how the clickbait title has just randomly given this video like 4 times more views than the average for the series. I can only imagine the bunch people googling a random trivia fact and being utterly confused with the long, detailed breakdown of 2000 year old parades.
no it actually was the longest year bc callender was rearranged into it's premodern form and he had to add a bunch of time to the end of the year
I'm willing to bet a lot still stayed for the whole video
This is exactly what happened to me and then I just so happened to get engulfed by this series.
Best decision I've made this past month.
He didn't say it was untrue he just said it was clickbait lol
@@jsweeney7359 "Clickbait" is intended to get the *click* of a user while the *bait* is the promise of the title, while the actual contents of the video are entirely unrelated. Creators have to use titles to engage in the user's cerebral cortex to cause them to click, while, at some point, satisfying the promise. This video is, by definition, not clickbait.
*46 B.C.E:* I’m the longest year in human history!
*2020:* allow me to introduce myself!
Nah
Aerial Albatross Crassus, 53 BC
Lolll
I clicked this video literally just to come and write this comment.
@@eratosthenesieve I wanted to comment on people commenting.
This is still my favorite video by Historia Civilis, with the Trial of Charles I as a close second.
Loved the video. Keep the good work up!
JESUS CHRIST THAT LEBINUS'S TIMING WTF
"To rebel against Caesar while he's fighting enemies in Egypt, Asia Minor and North Africa? Nahhh, let him restore the order and finish his calendar first…"
Lebinus was sick of harvesting in December, but didn't know how to fix the calendar.
Maybe he thought that with the major reforms caesar undertook, it would be the perfect time to antagonize him and destroy the system caesar put in place while it is still in transition plus maybe he could get the support of the "conservatives" who oppose the reforms.
Isacco Hanzic That shows how nice of a guy Lebinus was.
He waited for Caesar to fix the calendar for the benefit of Western civilization before causing trouble. Thanks, Lebinus.
Profile pic fits this comment well
You could say he was 3 months adrift :P
Ceasar: the civil war is over
Labenious: *_that's where you're wrong kiddo_*
Mosieur Pepe hello brother pepe

Great history vid.learned alot not covered anywhere else.thx
He protecc
He attacc
But most importantly..
LABIENUS IS BACC
LOL
LMFAO. LOVE YOU
"Caesar's old ri-" FUUUCK
@Pablo Pulido Le Benis 🤣
Me at 0:00: Wtf? 27 minutes video?
Me at 27:00: Wtf? Why did it end so quickly?
With a freaking cliffhanger!
When you don't care about politics, but someone makes it interesting.
Abstract Russian same! Lol
Makes me think of ancient civ when the whole class watches a video
When he puts these out every three or four months those 27 mins actually feel like 27 seconds.
Quite amazing. Thank you.
"Caesar would be in a weaker position" WHY WOULD YOU THINK THAT 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
I mean, he was dead by that point. So they were correct.
Caesar: "Finally this civil war is over!"
Labienus, two of Pompey's sons and the Spanish legions: "Allow us to introduce ourselves!"
What! No boarder wall to keep them out???
@Evi1M4chine Thanks for that laugh! :D
And they did a good job too.
@Evi1M4chine Revolting? They stink on ice!
I’m hyped for the next episode.
Well done as usual 👏 👏 👏
Caesar's face was red while Vercingetorix 's went purple!
I feel like I just watched a tv show where 90% of the episode was recap.
One Piece
@@harnageaa Oh yes most definitely One Piece.
Haven't you ever had that feeling, late at night during a hot summer that everything you've done and remember, that it seems as though you've done it all before? Especially after doing some buttons.
@@danielfronc4304 I don't even know what that could possibly mean.
@@davidvasey5065 LoL
me: Oh, this seems interesting - I'll get to know why 46 BC was the longest year!
also me: *ends up learning about Caesar's reforms, triumphs and why 46 BC was the longest year*
@ladawg81 I think he intended to make it about both concepts. That's what's fun about it. It was the longest year because all this shit happened, but also because it had 445 days.
Thank you for the video
I just watched a few of your videos… quite interesting and they fill me a lot of gaps I had.
Subscribing!
1) New Historia Civilis video
Wait, how was this written before the video came out?
@@jackson_6533 because the video came out 1 week ago. It was just private and I'm guessing only available to patreon supporters
Spoilers: Caesar dies at the end
Also, so does everybody else, because nobody is immortal
@@tj12711 Gods don't die (DIVVS IVLIVS)
YES YES AND MORE YES
"This minor imperfection is unacceptable."
I concur.
Bravo! I'm a history buff and didn't know about how the modern calendar came into being.
Love your channel’s outro music!
