No, Matthew Settle (sp?)-Caesar's encounter with the pirates was an example of MERCY, not his brutality. He had vowed to hunt down & crucify them-tho they just laughed-they ruled the sea, after all. However, Caesar used his wits to capture them while they were on land (& vulnerable). It was then that he carried out his promise to crucify them-HOWEVER, he showed them MERCY by having their throats cut first. If one wants an example of Caesar's brutal side-look to his conquests in Gaul.
Julia Caesaris was POMPEY'S WIFE and GAIUS JULIUS CAESAR'S daughter. Whoever wrote this shouldn't be allowed near a script again. Her death severed the last real link between the two. It's historically important and not something to take lightly.
They named the daughters after their fathers. Last time I checked, Pompey was Gnaeus Pompeiius Magnus, not Gaius Julius. Julia was Julius Caesar's daughter. They really should double-check their facts.
@dylanchoi1 caesar has such few equals, period. only the likes of alexander, napoleon bonaparte, hannibal or genghis khan can compare themselves to him.
who ever came up with this doco must have got there information from watching old holly wood movie instead of actually picking up a history book. Bunch of tool!!
@nallepuh6969 Why is that? And these are not "American" documentaries. Do you notice the British historian. It has more than just American people making these documentaries.
Make sure you read the top 2 rated comments, other than that the video is good but it really makes me wonder what else they've gotten wrong from things I've watched in the past.
@3jacen Why is that funny? It was pretty new back then. You was probably in the kindergarten when the show came out, which was why you don't remember.
@tim77ski Last time when I came apon this video I was discouraged to watch this cus there were like people saying this doc is inaccurate... but I'm watching it now anyways.
@tim77ski you cant spell Caesar right and your calling us stupid. I knew that it was the other way around. Pompey married Caesars daughter. Dont be a stereotyping dick you dick. I think he made a mistake because Julia was Caesars daughter not Pompey so that wouldnt make sense. People make mistakes even on tv... just like you...
@tim77ski I'm afraid you're the one who needs to do the research, since it was the other way around, Pompey was the one who married Ceaser's daughter.
@tim77ski oops sorry my bad, I missunderstood your comment I thought your were saying that Ceasar married Pompeys daughter it'd only when I rewatched the first few minutes of the video again, did I understand what you were saying
@showfire100 yup..coz alexander is the only european in ancient times to successfully conquer iran,central asia n northern india,no roman ever conquered this lands,the farthest rome went in the east is what is today iraq under trajan n thats it,thats why they mention alexander in this coz crassus wanted to surpass alexander achievements in the east,in the end he failed,later roman emperors like caracalla n others praise alexander for his achievements in the east.
@fmoa Alexander's Empire broke up upon his death but the Roman Empire dominated the Mediterranean for centuries(including Macedonia!). Rome's effect on the modern western world is more profound than that of Alexander.
@29gmj true, our educational culture and methods may originate from the greeks, but our methods of living, ruling and governing more closely resemble those of the romans. president and vice president have their roots in a consul and his co-consul.
i love this guy's voice, goes to show that the american accent, if spoken properly can be just as nice as an english accent, dont get me wrong english accent are probubly the best for this sort of thing
Pompey married CAESAR's Daughter, NOT the other way around. Octavian wasn't his son either. Who the hell do they ge in for thwir info on these things.
A shambles. Don't bother unless you want to watch someone playing Total War: Rome.
They said Caesar wanted to become a consul. I thought that he and Pompei were consuls already. They were the two that was elected every year or so to govern the empire.
@yamila2068 i think youve got some things mixed up here.
caesar, crassus and pompei formed a triumverit at the start at Caesars and bibilus consulship. this "allience" made them the 3 most powerfull men in rome, with caesar supplying popularity, pompei supplying political power and crassus providing coin.
others became consuls for formality, to give the senate hope and the people its illusions.
pompei did become dictator before caesar returned and caesar wanted to become consul on his return
Might be a stupid question but I'm still learning about this history. Why did he crucify people if Christianity hadn't become the norm until the 3rd century under Constantine. I presume the method of crucifiction had been around for quite some time before jesus. What was the original motivation?
crucification was way established as a execution method in the roman empire. even before christ. it was a torture and at the same time an execution device.
@griff868686 it was originally a form of propaganda, to show criminals and bandits what would happen if they were caught. i believe (but im not sure) crusifaction has been around since prehistoric times. it was used by etruscans (an italic tribe just north, north-east of rome) before rome was founded.
The real mistake in this episode is that Suttle says Julius Caesar was married to Pompey's daughter Julia, whereas it was Pompey who was married to Caesar's daughter, which would explain why the daughter had the Julian ancestral name of Julia.
and Caesar wanted to became consul just because he wanted to get more extraordinary powers in Gaul. this was the last year Caesar had this command, and he wanted to extend it.
@yumagetbullet actually, caesar wanted to become consul to be free of prosecution, so he could repay his debts at his own discretion.
ohyeah caesar didnt want to extend either, he simply wanted to keep his governers right for the legal period, which the senate tried to (illigally) retract.
@666valhalonia666 Caesar had big troubles because in Gauls he did a lot illegal stuff and if he couldn't become consul he would be persecuted. but Pompey made the laws that forbidden anyone to stand for consul in abroad. and Caesar couldn't come to Rome so he attacked it.
@666valhalonia666 no idea./ i was thought like that. and that could be wrong. or you could be wrong. there is so much information and it's hard to know what is true. The thing is- Caesar had got some enemies from triumvirate times that wanted to deal with him from what Caesar did illegal 10 or some years ago. ye. i said some wrong information about Gauls. my bad.
yes. actualy, we do. We do knowit's pronounced ZA-MA, and SYR-IA, and EG-YPT, Caesar, Imperator, Centurion, Maximus, etc. so...yes we do know how to pronounce names. Look at thefacts before you defend HC
man this mathew suttle is a complete morron. its pronounced POMP-EE not POMP-AY i'd understand if he did it for only one episode, but the rest of the crew is even dumber because they didn't CATCH it...
this kind of inaccurate n history there should this right because this history not right & juila is ceaser's daughter right ok she was pompery bitch n the dude get self kill in EGYPT
I don't think anybody should watch this video.... it's extremly inaccurate! For one, Caesar was not married to Pompey's daughter Julia; Julia was Caesar's daughter and Pompey was her husband. Also, Augustus was not Caesar's son, Augustus was his nephew!
This video just kinda made me sick.... becasue of the lack of historical accuracy!
@DonMeaker Crucification is death penalty. So do they kill the pirates by crucifying them, then cut the throats of the dead pirates, or do they cut the throats of the poor bastards while they hang up there on the crosses? LOL. That is just so lunatic.
@evilpiglet If you crucify someone, normally it takes several days to die. , or you could slit their thoat after being hung up for a day. perhaps using a spear, to make it easier to reach.
@DonMeaker the whole point of crucify is to make the bugger suffer more before the poor guy die. if they gonna cut short his suffering and slit his throat later... why do it in the first place lol. that's just dumb. Ceasar may be a lot of things they say he was... but no one ever say he's a retard.
@evilpiglet On the other hand, if you only want to stick around for a day or so, and don't want the guys buddies taking him down afterwards.... Caesar was known for moving quickly, not giving his enemies time to regroup. The idea that he would not wait 3 days for all his captured prisoners to die is completely believable.
@DonMeaker No, Caesar would just kill the whole lot which ever way he wants if he's in a hurry. But he chose crucifycation because he wanted to make a statement. And what kind of lame statement he would be making by hanging up some pirates up on the crosses and then quietly slit their throats 1 day later? no way, this is the grandiose way Caesar would move. and If Crassus wasn't worried about prisoners being rescued from crucification (after Sparticus), neither would Caesar.
@evilpiglet Sorry, phrenology as a descriptor of human behavior was debunked long ago. Phrenology practiced as a remove of 2000 years has less credibility.
Unfounded assertions about Crassus as insight into Caesar have less credibility still.
And leaving them up for the buzzards would be a statement, and free forces for subsequent activity, a triumph, ect .
@DonMeaker lol good reply for someone losing a point in a debate. i must remember this excuse. phrenology? lol, ever heard of thing call sentries? or guards? how difficult for these two roman men to post sentries to guard over these crucifications? these are people who are after all, convicts... you argue Caesar were perhaps afraid they might be rescued and hence order their throats cut after a day or two? what a laugh. they are no there hanging for anyone to come along and pinch them away!
@evilpiglet Sentries or guards would have to be detached, reducing the strength of the unit. Caesar didn't believe in diluting the force of his units, nor in wasting time. Rather, he acted with force and speed. Quite believable that he would put them up, crucify them, then after a day, have them put down as he went on to other things.
@DonMeaker up to you. I would only remind you that when he crucify the pirates he's just a privatus, a nobleman without any official post. so he has no command of any forces. And looking at what the man did, only a fool would believe someone who said "I came, I saw, I conquered" to go through the trouble of hanging a few hundred men up on crosses and then changed his mind and quietly slit their throats later.
@DonMeaker You may stick to your misguided opinion of course, that Caesar, a man out to prove himself he is capable of great things, would go through the trouble to dig a lot of holes, erect a lot of big wooden crosses, and a lot of prisoners up on those crosses, and then said to himself, "I better had their throats cut just in case some sympathetic citizens may rescue these wretch pirates who terrorized the region for so many years". by the way, you still believe in the boogieman?
@evilpiglet You are free to think what you will. Caesar had promised the pirates that they would be cruicified. He had his men dig the holes. He put them up. Most pirates had their fences or sympathizers. Even Christ had, by the gospel account, a spear thrust into his side to be sure he was dead on schedule. Perhaps you preach Christ was not crucified? Perhaps you believe that Caesar was not in a hurry to return to Rome to collect his praises? That would be a leap of faith!
@DonMeaker A. Caesar did not went back to Rome to collect his "praises". He went on his tour, which was to study Rheotoric in Rhodes. After all, he was a privatus, so there wasn't going to be any formal recognition for him anyway.
@DonMeaker B.B. Ok. Even if Gospel's account of Christ crufication was correct, the spear thrust was in fact, an act of mercy - to shorten his suffering. not to make certain of his death. Whatever, it was just one spear thrust. You are contesting that it were possible that some guy would organize fifty executioners at least to spend one entire afternoon climbing up crosses and slitting throats, after spending one whole afternoon digging and erecting several hundreds of crosses.
@evilpiglet Got another wrong. The Spear was not an act of mercy, but rather an act of political necessity, to permit the punishment to be complete before sundown, so the Sabbath would not be profaned. The Jews would have rioted, and so to kill quickly, for convenience, they broke the prisoner's legs, but Jesus was already dead, so they gave him the spear to test.
@DonMeaker whatever, I distrust the gospel anyway. so many version of those. for all we know there may be no spear thrust. even if there was, some guy may had paid the guard to do it, for whatever reason, mercy, convenience, whatever. The only proof was your gospel, which is, understandably, biased towards its own causes.
@DonMeaker and C, it doesn't fit into what we know of Caesar's mode of operation. And we know the same way detectives know what a serial killer's mode of operation was. That is no phrenology like you claim. Just common psychology.
@historydcn I have to agree with you about that inaccuracy but I also wish to point out that Augustus, though by blood is Caesar's grand-nephew, is by law Caesar's son as Caesar had adopted him
@historydcn to be fair they were partly correct, Augustus was his Nephew and his also his adopted Son. Most of the other video's are fairly accurate, and besides the video is more for the tactical and strategic value of war, not the political background. But my good friend, I do value your great value for accuracy, I wish you were a producer on the show. =)
@historydcn Exactly my friend !!! Julia was Caesar s daughter and was given as wife to Pompey.However Julia died while giving birth to her first child with him..Octavius the first Roman Emperor was Caesar s nephew and member of the House Of the Julii.
Augustus was Caesar's ADOPTED son, and blood great-nephew. The only natural male issue of Caesar was Cleopatra's son, Caesarion, whom Augustus had killed at age 18.
Oh, great, the only battle this show gives when romans won is the battle when they fought eachother!

@historydcn Augustus was caesar's adoptive son and he was married to juliua because Caesar felt that it would make him and pompei closer

@historydcn I'm just here for the tactics, I've read my books. Julia was definitely Julius' daughter.

did the man say :Ceasar crucify them and cut their throats? lol he could not do both. Either they were crucified, or they had their throats cut.

@DonMeaker Crucification is death penalty. So do they kill the pirates by crucifying them, then cut the throats of the dead pirates, or do they cut the throats of the poor bastards while they hang up there on the crosses? LOL. That is just so lunatic.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet If you crucify someone, normally it takes several days to die. , or you could slit their thoat after being hung up for a day.

@evilpiglet If you crucify someone, normally it takes several days to die. , or you could slit their thoat after being hung up for a day. perhaps using a spear, to make it easier to reach.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker the whole point of crucify is to make the bugger suffer more before the poor guy die. if they gonna cut short his suffering and slit his throat later... why do it in the first place lol. that's just dumb. Ceasar may be a lot of things they say he was... but no one ever say he's a retard.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet On the other hand, if you only want to stick around for a day or so, and don't want the guys buddies taking him down afterwards.... Caesar was known for moving quickly, not giving his enemies time to regroup. The idea that he would not wait 3 days for all his captured prisoners to die is completely believable.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker No, Caesar would just kill the whole lot which ever way he wants if he's in a hurry. But he chose crucifycation because he wanted to make a statement. And what kind of lame statement he would be making by hanging up some pirates up on the crosses and then quietly slit their throats 1 day later? no way, this is the grandiose way Caesar would move. and If Crassus wasn't worried about prisoners being rescued from crucification (after Sparticus), neither would Caesar.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet Sorry, phrenology as a descriptor of human behavior was debunked long ago. Phrenology practiced as a remove of 2000 years has less credibility.
Unfounded assertions about Crassus as insight into Caesar have less credibility still.
And leaving them up for the buzzards would be a statement, and free forces for subsequent activity, a triumph, ect .
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker lol good reply for someone losing a point in a debate. i must remember this excuse. phrenology? lol, ever heard of thing call sentries? or guards? how difficult for these two roman men to post sentries to guard over these crucifications? these are people who are after all, convicts... you argue Caesar were perhaps afraid they might be rescued and hence order their throats cut after a day or two? what a laugh. they are no there hanging for anyone to come along and pinch them away!
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet Sentries or guards would have to be detached, reducing the strength of the unit. Caesar didn't believe in diluting the force of his units, nor in wasting time. Rather, he acted with force and speed. Quite believable that he would put them up, crucify them, then after a day, have them put down as he went on to other things.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker up to you. I would only remind you that when he crucify the pirates he's just a privatus, a nobleman without any official post. so he has no command of any forces. And looking at what the man did, only a fool would believe someone who said "I came, I saw, I conquered" to go through the trouble of hanging a few hundred men up on crosses and then changed his mind and quietly slit their throats later.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet Actually, the smart guys think he did such a thing. Only a fool would deny it.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker You may stick to your misguided opinion of course, that Caesar, a man out to prove himself he is capable of great things, would go through the trouble to dig a lot of holes, erect a lot of big wooden crosses, and a lot of prisoners up on those crosses, and then said to himself, "I better had their throats cut just in case some sympathetic citizens may rescue these wretch pirates who terrorized the region for so many years". by the way, you still believe in the boogieman?
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet You are free to think what you will. Caesar had promised the pirates that they would be cruicified. He had his men dig the holes. He put them up. Most pirates had their fences or sympathizers. Even Christ had, by the gospel account, a spear thrust into his side to be sure he was dead on schedule. Perhaps you preach Christ was not crucified? Perhaps you believe that Caesar was not in a hurry to return to Rome to collect his praises? That would be a leap of faith!
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker A. Caesar did not went back to Rome to collect his "praises". He went on his tour, which was to study Rheotoric in Rhodes. After all, he was a privatus, so there wasn't going to be any formal recognition for him anyway.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@DonMeaker B.B. Ok. Even if Gospel's account of Christ crufication was correct, the spear thrust was in fact, an act of mercy - to shorten his suffering. not to make certain of his death. Whatever, it was just one spear thrust. You are contesting that it were possible that some guy would organize fifty executioners at least to spend one entire afternoon climbing up crosses and slitting throats, after spending one whole afternoon digging and erecting several hundreds of crosses.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet Got another wrong. The Spear was not an act of mercy, but rather an act of political necessity, to permit the punishment to be complete before sundown, so the Sabbath would not be profaned. The Jews would have rioted, and so to kill quickly, for convenience, they broke the prisoner's legs, but Jesus was already dead, so they gave him the spear to test.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker whatever, I distrust the gospel anyway. so many version of those. for all we know there may be no spear thrust. even if there was, some guy may had paid the guard to do it, for whatever reason, mercy, convenience, whatever. The only proof was your gospel, which is, understandably, biased towards its own causes.
evilpiglet 1 year ago
@evilpiglet I distrust the Gospel too, but it Mark was written for an audience which was at least familiar with cruxifiction practice.
DonMeaker 1 year ago
@DonMeaker and C, it doesn't fit into what we know of Caesar's mode of operation. And we know the same way detectives know what a serial killer's mode of operation was. That is no phrenology like you claim. Just common psychology.

@historydcn Well, Augustus was adopted by Julius Caeser. That would make him Julius Caeser's son.

CyborgNinja117 1 year ago
@historydcn to be fair they were partly correct, Augustus was his Nephew and his also his adopted Son. Most of the other video's are fairly accurate, and besides the video is more for the tactical and strategic value of war, not the political background. But my good friend, I do value your great value for accuracy, I wish you were a producer on the show. =)

@historydcn Exactly my friend !!! Julia was Caesar s daughter and was given as wife to Pompey.However Julia died while giving birth to her first child with him..Octavius the first Roman Emperor was Caesar s nephew and member of the House Of the Julii.

Augustus was Caesar's ADOPTED son, and blood great-nephew. The only natural male issue of Caesar was Cleopatra's son, Caesarion, whom Augustus had killed at age 18.
