    📖 Caesar's Civil War (49-45 BC), was one of the last politico-military conflicts in the Roman Republic before the establishment of the Roman Empire. The war was a four-year-long politico-military struggle, fought in Italy, Illyria, Greece, Egypt, Africa, and Hispania. In a series of battles over the years, Caesar defeated his enemies (the Optimates) and became Dictator for life. The changes to Roman government eliminated the political traditions of the Roman Republic (509-27 BC) and led to the Roman Empire (27 BC-AD 476).

Your video quality is very high, but if you choose about a trully great characters which is less known like (mihail the brave, by far the best video i've ever seen and I was suprised that I didn't heard anything about him), there are many charachters which is less known (David the builder bagrationi, George Saakadze, vardan mamikonian) do this line of less known persons and this would pay off in the future.

      It is precisely because they dig and march and occasionally fight all day - and didn't sleep in too soft bed, they could do it. I hurt when i wake up as well, but curiously (or perhaps obviously) ive noticed that it's the times i fall asleep on the floor or the ground i feel best when i wake up - as long as it is not in a sitting position. Also, don't forget how much more rest and sleep they got in average than we do today - this being before electricity. So the basic recipe is simple enough; physical activity every day, very hard physical activity followed by longer periods of rest other times, avoid soft beds and avoid all electric light. Simple right? Right... ;)

    The story of Caesar and Labienus was almost a Shakespearean tragedy, yet so often overlooked. Nowadays most people refer to Mark Antony as Caesar's close friend, or even Brutus, but I think none of them ever reached Labienus' status. Likely, had he stayed loyal to Caesar, he would've been Caesar's political heir. They knew each other for a long time. They were of the same age, close friends, and stalwart political allies. Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, Labienus agreed to accompany Caesar as his lieutenant when Caesar became governor of Cisalpine Gaul, llyricum, and Transalpine Gaul. For a whole decade, they conquered Gaul together. Nobody knew for sure the true reason why Labienus turned against Caesar. Perhaps his cause was altruistic and he chose to stay loyal to the idea of the Republic, or maybe he resented that he would never receive the credit he thought he deserved if he kept on serving under Caesar despite being a general of the same caliber. From the bits and pieces of history gathered, it seemed that the two men held sentiments for each other still even after they became enemies. When Labienus left, he could've brought Caesar's legions with him, but he didn't. When Caesar learned of his friend's defection, Caesar sent his belongings to him. Over the course of the civil war, Caesar would extend many olive branches which Labienus refused. Labienus knew Caesar too well, and the knowledge likely played a large role in his initial victory. After the battle of Munda, Caesar sent his soldiers to search the battlefield for Labienus' body, then buried his old friend with full honors on a field outside of Munda. Despite being the victor, Caesar died only a year later after Labienus. It's really sad to think about.

    • @Hello-ig1px
      @Hello-ig1px Pƙed 2 lety +45

      in my opinion, it makes the most sense that he was simply more loyal to Roman Republic than he was Caesar.
      This is still within the time period where people were trained from a young age to being loyal to the state of Rome.
      Furthermore, if we are going to consider placing Labienus in the potentially jealous category, wouldn't that mean that we are ignoring what you pointed when you said "Despite being qualified to receive provinces of his own, he chose to be Caesar's LT"?
      In my opinion, Labienus was okay with conquering Gaul and parts of Germania with Caesar because this can still be viewed as good for the Roman Republic.
      I can imagine Caesar and Labienus during the conquest of Gaul were constantly talking about how much they were doing for Roman Republic while vigorously fighting for Rome in Gaul.
      Also, I believe Caesar himself was most likely extremely loyal to the Roman Republic as well. If the Senate and Pompey didn't try to throw Caesar in jail or kill him, i think everything would have played out much differently.
      In other words, i highly doubt Caesar ever thought about going to war with Rome until they tried to take his legions and bar him from office in the future.
      What do you think? Do you think Labienus was jealous or just ultra nationalistic?

      Caesar was also about Quality rather than Quantity. In most instances in history, the bigger army would usually be dominated by new recruits while the veterans would be about 40% at best. In that case, Caesar would rather bring as many elite as possible rather than bring huge numbers of newbies. As the old Afghan proverbs goes, it's better to bring 4 lions than 400 sheep.

      @@SteelValyrian Yes.. but I think caeser was a much better strategist than either of them because he was also adept @ the political game. Caeser mostly fought unavoidable wars. He always knew when to halt his match and reaccess his situation. The other two were @ times overly aggressive and greedy. I feel that's the real reason why Caeser always could get the best out of his men. They felt he was an ordinary folk (Just man) who dished out reward and punishment fairly, whom they could easily relate with, his statue not withstanding. A man who shed blood only on the few occasions when it was unavoidable.

    He actually did offer to hand over his legions and territories if Pompey did so as well. The Civil War wasn’t as much as Caesars fault as it was Cato and the conservatives who vehemently hated Caesar. They strongly opposed Caesar even when he offered and proposed various fair offers and laws. Caesar didn’t want war. He waited across the Rubicon, it was Pompey who actively sought the office of Dictator. Caesar was in his way and Pompey was attempting to become the second Sulla.
    Essentially the Civil war wasn’t a result of Caesar’s personality. He wasn’t necessarily egotistical nor had a sense of entitlement. He showed this in his early life when he, as a young orator, prosecuted other corrupt nobles and when he offered his daughter to Pompey he demonstrated his humble manner. Most wouldn’t have given there daughter but Caesar wasn’t above it. (He also knew his daughter would be treated quite well by Pompey due to his previous marriages)

But as i developed some sort of sleeping problems cause my head just didnt stop thinking and i would have been awake like almost all night every time, this channel was the key for me to find sleep again. Listening to history march calms me down so much. My head finally started to rest again. Believe me, if you cant sleep and your thoughts just go wild throughout all the night, thats no fun at all. Logically youve got a lack of energy all the upcoming day.
