I will fight with Caesar, not Obama. Obama would prefer that Germany, Japan and evey other nation that fought against America would have won. Obama likes to play the part of the victim. Obama is here to rescue us as if we were helpless, stupid fucks.
No Im not joining the masons. I already know I out rank your 33rd degree shit in usa.
And Im not a MASON!!! So that must say something?
You masons in usa are that retarded. The ones that know who I am and were helping (no you never were)? Should of told me what was going on. Pat yourself on the ass for being a fucking twat.
masons copy off the Templars. And make themselves look like Templars? masons are fucking retards.
I fucking hate catholics in usa (masons in the church), I hate lutherans in usa (masons in the church), I hate mormons in usa (masons ALWAYS have been in church) and I hate scientologists in usa (masons ran that the entire time)!!!
usa is that fucking retarded to not see this? Everyone in Europe is laughing their asses off at the usa right now. Enjoy life amerika!!!
And for a certain woman. No Im not joining a christian bullshit belief in usa.
Im actually part of a MILITARY ORDER that doesnt exist anymore (It still does but its not the same?). Anyways... this military order was CHRISTIAN ORDER (more of a MILITARY ORDER on keeping everything secure I bet). Knew about medicine, warfare, technology, religion, diplomatic relations (Mongols, not sure how that played out) and so on.
Yes THEY know more about this than anyone else!!! haha
People in usa are fucking stupid when it comes to BELEIFS. Why in the flying fuck are they finding a purpose? The mud theory has already been proven? Not hard to behave and live life to keep it going. Im not going to look into science about DEATH either. I wouldnt doubt it people have already experimented with this.
united states is fucking stupid. Yes Im GRANDMASTER!!! HAHA
Ceasar had all the vets. I already proved it in Shogun 2 Total War. I need vet units.
Ceasar was out ranked when he fought against (TOYING WITH THEM) Pompei, Brutus and someone else. 6/1 ratio or something hahaha. And Ceasar still won. Strategy and Veterans.
Interesting note: Caesar and Pompey were on the verge of war before Caesar had completed his conquest of Gaul. Had Vercingetorix launched his revolt against Rome only one or two years later than he did, war may have broken out between Caesar and Pompey and Caesar would have been unable to suppress the revolt, leading to the loss of Gaul and prestige for Caesar and probably tipping the scales of the war in favor of Pompey. History is full of such what-ifs.
I misspelled 'rubicon' because I try typing too fast! You'll find a lot of people are guilty of the same thing. As to me hating, I can point out a 'points of fact' that others may disagree with without 'hating'. While metaphorically this version may be right, I invited others to research and discover the 'accepted' histories and happenings of this event and the events leading up to this. How is that hating?
Movies like this do a great injustice to the historical Caesar! I invite all of you to research the true histories of the true happenings; in this case real life is so much better and so much more dramatic. Like as to why caesar 'crossed the roubicon, how he greated Marcus Antonius and so on. Hail the real Caesar!
@Dbusdriver71 So is that why you misspelled Rubicon? And how is this so different than the history that we know? Caesar needed to find a way to incite the 13th to march on Rome (sacriligous offense). Perhaps this speech relies more on modern conventionalities....but it gives the modern viewer a taste of what Caesar was capable to doing with his men. Don't hate.
io credo che nelle scuole si dovrebbe trovare il modo di insegnare con i video sarebbe molto più interessante e più ricettivo per tutti credo che sarà la nuova frontiera se si usa una metodologia efficace.
It was a shame they didn't add the scene where his men mutinated about going to Spain to fight Crassus, where he rides out to them alone and manages to get them back on his side merely through the bond he shared with his men.
Nobody can speak for Caesar so forget about his true intention.
But based on his own account the reason he started the civil war was for the people and for his own dignity. So here is the interesting part, it's his enemy, not him, claimed the supremacy of the country over individual, how familiar and how often did the later dictators.
Before him, nobody declared war for people. After him, everybody used this excuse and nobody dared to say it's for himself also.
this is a tv series and you should try to focus on the acting (mimic, gesture, rhetorics etc. which imho is pretty nice) and if you like on the money and time spent to shoot it, but certainly not rely on its factual precision :-D
everything we know for sure about this time of history is that we only got the version of those in power which I assume is never the full story, do you?
@RobsUpload I only reason why I "youtube" Caesar in the first place is because the situation is similar in the United States and in fact the world... There are maniacs, elitists, ruling class in the United States and the World... All they want is more and more money and power... They do not care to the lower and middle class...
This is the situation that Caesar faced in his time... If you we study history and not learn from it, we are doomed to repeat it...

The actor Ciaran played a very convincing Caesar in this series. Many people thought this is a contemporary/better interpretation of Caesar. A leader with self-restraint, certainly mimics the historical figure, if we ever read Caesar's own writings. In the end the man lost control a bit, but forgivable, if we dare say so.
The point is, Caesar is likable, but Caesarians are not. As a matter of fact, most of them had little man's disease, and were disgusting.
Julius Caesar must go down as one of the most talented men in History A General who conquered GAul A great Orator a very clever and Ambitious Politician and a Statesman with a vision for the future
Caesar was the man of the people, he stood up to the maniacs, elitists, the senate...
He wanted to help the people, get them out of poverty, and also reduce the wealth of the senate with some laws, but he is shown to us as a tyrant, which he is NOT...
Today history is repetaing, again and again, but today, we, the people, do not have a Caesar...
@SelfHatingWhite they still think he was bad, but in reality he was making reforms for the people, destroyed their debts, reduced poverty, oligarchs didnt like that, and they killed him, easy...
btw, cicero is the main source of writings and the rest... he was an oligarch, he wrote the history not from the peoples point of view but from theirs

@Alexc3217 Yes, and that shows that Hitler lost but fascism won. Alexander "the great", Caesar, Napoleon, etc. were the Hitlers of their time, but they are viewed as "glorious military leaders" by pro-western history.
@ricardofuego I understand your point, however I just don't put Julius Caesar being as bad as Napoleon or Hitler.
He was a tyrant, no doubt about it, he broke the laws of his own country and forced his regime upon everyone. However this was much needed to unite Rome so that he could make it strong, which in those days mattered a lot more than it does now.
Rome lasted a thousand years after his reign on the foundations he built, he was revered and his name was given to subsequent emperors.
@Alexc3217 The same can be said about Hitler. The only reason you don't put him in that category is because in one case you identify with the european jews and in the other you identify yourself with the romans. Why, I don't know. I don't know why you respect one genocide -almost worship him- and condemn another.
@ricardofuego Yes but Hitler used hate speeches to turn a country in on itself to kill people for how they were born, namely anyone non aryan (did I spell that right?). This is why we don't like Hitler, not because he was a war monger on the same level as Caesar.
All empires were war mongers, as such you cannot put them all at the same level, they just aren't the same.
Interesting fact, godwins law should have ended this ages ago.
@johnkerry7 The GOP? Ha, they're not Republicans. They stopped being Republicans a very long time ago and became a cancerous disease. You want to see a genuine Republican? Try Eisenhower. I don't consider him a saint, but compared to the monsters in the GOP today, he's a godsend. And his speech warning about the military industrial complex? Dear god, he knew EXACTLY what he was talking about. And we didn't listen to him.
@johnkerry7 Yea, how's that democratic controlled congress working out? $ 5 trillion of added deficits, failed stimulus program, unemployment has risen during his administration, gas prices at the pump have risen, Gitmo still open. Shall I continue? John Kerry? He's a spineless wimp and a Kennedy wannabe. Why would any self respecting human would want to emulate the debauchery and criminal nature of the Kennedy's ?
@QRF11B last i checked the GOP has been in controll of the house and keeps blocking senate bill after senate bill. But i guess fast get in the way of a good story. Not to mention this mess started in 2008 and took 7 years to get to that point. NOT to mention that the top 1 percent have been sitting on tons of money with LOWER tax rates than in the 90's and these "job creators" are still not hiring. Oh but i forgot...regulations and Obama and all.
Last i checked they have been bad for the past 10 years, not to mention any time ANYBODY wants to regulate and keep the oil companies in check the GOP keeps blocking it. Oh and Gitmo, you remember 2009? Obama tried to close it, but GUESS WHO called to the heavens about it being "a bad idea and danger danger danger"...ill give you a hint, it starts with GOP. Oh and the unemployemnt rate, guess what, that rose from about 4.5 to 8% under Bush. And, like it or not, state and gov jobs are still jobs
@QRF11B but guess who still wants to keep cutting those jobs, thats right, the GOP. I know i know....facts and all. Oh and the deficit, Bush raised that one 5 trillion, from 5.7 trillion to 10.7 trillion 2001-2008. But again...facts oh facts, Obama will have (if continues) raised the dept 7 trillion. Now i know thats not great either, however, if it wasnt for the last executive we prob wouldnt be having this much trouble.
@johnkerry7 Facts? Still talking about Bush and it's not surprising because you have nothing positive to say about Obama. Obama and the democrats are the party of zero: zero economic expansion, zero job growth, zero ideas on how to fix the economy. Obama tossed $1 trillion stimulus package which did absolutely nothing. And how about those "shovel ready" projects which turned out didn't exist in the first place?
Respond to this video... Facts? You mean the federal debt which grew to $14.3 trillion in August from $10.7 trillion at the close of 2008? Those pesky facts. Facts? You mean when in 2008 President-elect promised he would create 2.5 million jobs by 2011. By October 2010 the economy had shed 3.3 million jobs. Those pesky facts again.
The facts speak for themselves; Obama and the democratic controlled congress have been an absolute failure and continue to blame others for their ineptitude.
@QRF11B um...you do know that the president elect doesnt have power untill the jan of the following year right? you know, Jan 2009, closing 2008 falls into...thats right, FACT President Bush. And guess what, if it wasnt for the blocking that the GOP does and can do he might have had those 2.5 million. Of course he cant do anything about the states that keep wanting to cut jobs, oh and the BILLIONAIRES sitting on there money not hiring (why would they, it doenst hurt them any).
@johnkerry7 You seem to have a problem reading basic English: the federal debt at the close of 2008 was $10.7 trillion. It grew under Obama to $14.3 trillion as of 7 November 2011. Do you understand now?
And there you go mentioning Bush, again. He's gone. You democrats need to take responsibility and stop making excuses to the American people for your mistakes. As far as the "BILLIONAIRES" are concerned are referring to Steve Jobs? Wall Street lays the golden egg.
I think you have a point there. "Pederasty" was well documented during the Roman Empire. However there has been no clear source of Caesar being involved in such that can be fully relied upon (without taking into account prejudices or political motivations).

40% of modern english today comes from the latin roman language, it just sounds english in pronounciation, but it's history is cleary more latin than germanic, look up many english words and see for your selves
@strongpowerman5 English received as many influences as Celtic, old german dialects, latin, french and on. The fact that a vast extent of english vocabulary has direct or indirect latin origin does not change its fundamentaly germanic, thus, barbaric nature. Rome's influence spreaded latin through all of europe, like US spreads english today, but even the way a latin word sounds in the voice of an Engish speaker, shows how far it is, in its essence, from latin.
just as greek and latin influenced many languages in history so does the english language influence the modern world FACT and this is coming from a celtic speaker
These modern films and series always hurt me depicting romans speaking a barbarian language.. any latin language would do better, but english? Just make a german version of it then.. Also, romans have this british accent, ike it's more noble or something, yet to the romans, it would've sounded absolutely guttural and savage..
@locoawise British English is arguably the most noble language today, or at least the most noble sounding, so it makes sense. Anyway, don't let such a small thing keep you from enjoying an otherwise good show! :)
@NearDark87 I'm sorry, but noble language, such conception is given based on political influence of the nations. I believe you mean British English is considered the most noble variant of the English language, but to latin peoples it sounds quite rough as any germanic language. The series is good, only it's not so accurate as for the phenotype and language of people.
@locoawise true but by then Rome had conquered Greece and most of the writings read by the Roman elite were in Greek. And later in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire Greek was spoken much more widely than latin. Though this is probably the only 'clear' split in the languages spoken as latin was still used in law and governance issues.
@Venatores66 No wonder greek was considered a noble and formal language, for all peoples of the ancient era. But so was the classic latin, whici differs from vulgar latin both in form and prestige. In any case, not only Juliius Ceasar, but any general who would adress to a roman legion would use latin. My criticism is directed to the use of germanic languages to depict romans as the lexic of English for example would be considered barbaric and savage.
@locoawise Pff. So your vulgary mutilation of latin - called italian - would be much more "cultiviated"? Bullshit. All these "latin" languages are mere shadows of a once noble language. And from a practical point of view: you seriously want british actors in a british/us-series sptalk anish/italian/romanian? Are you out of your mind? Don't brag around, go ahead, make an italian tv-show only approximately as good as Rome and we talk again.
@Kathrinoyo These "multilations, shadow of a once noble language" have a lot more of this elevated language than the one with barbaric roots I adress to you now. It doesn't make any sense to have us/uk actors interpreting other's history, as they ca't even pretend well enough. But of course, capitalism chooses money over culture, so yes we'll have to stick with that. I just dont agree with having british accent as if it was any noble, being english such an ordinary language in any case.
@locoawise You are really into this whole mindset of barbaric and cultivated, aren't you? One could call you a fascist but I'll leave it to others to do that. They do not interpret "other's history" there, rome influenced whole europe. Maybe some of them have more roman blood running through their veins than most of the italian, spanish or romanian citizen? And what about us two - I learned latin, I can read cicero and caesar in their original form. And I'm of german descent. What about you?
@Kathrinoyo I'm having German classes, I'm a beginner. But so I was, once, when I started learning English, and here we are, comunicating in English, so probably one day I'll be able to speak German as I am able to speak English, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese. When that happens, will it mean I'm more a German than I am now?Or am I closer to Anlgo-Saxons because I know English? Although I can't read full texts in latin, its words aren't likely to sound strange as to me, as entschuldigung does.
@locoawise Why should you be more "closer" to an ethnic group by speaking a language? You seem to miss the point as a whole. You are talking about racial boundaries towards their culture and how brits should not "interpret" others history. That's racism. It's not about your race or your descent. If I'm able to read latin fluent and you aren't, I'm closer to the roman cultural identity than you are, regardless of you being of any "latin race". That's what I'm talking about.
@Kathrinoyo I'M TALKING ABOUT Culture, not race. I deny your thesis of becoming closer to romanic culture. Partialy, you are, closer than other anglo-saxons. Yet, you are not a roman yourself. But that's not the point, which is, if you can read latin, perhaps the actors of such tv series should try, at least, sound more plausible. Take the English reference of nobility to intepret high class romans or whatever, is not credible.
Caesar definitely had a great spin here but it was still a good speech. Actually in his own words he did mention that the action was also for his dignity and esteem, not just for the 'people'. In that regard, Caesar was a relatively honest roman, far better than today's politician. Anyway a 'republic' which failed to deal with Caesar would not have survived a new Hannibal, should there be any.
Mark Antony always gives that look to Titus that says "Get your arse over here or I'll flog it raw and drag you Caesar myself!". One thing that Caesar was right on was that Pompey would have likely taken total power if he didn't march on Rome. The Republic at that time was all but finished thanks to ambitious generals like Caesar and Pompey who followed a trend of training and paying their own legions which demonstrated how the Senate failed to solve many problems which plagued Rome.
i thought Caesar had some very republican ideals when he was first elected to consul?,i agree that Sulla was originally to blame for turning Caesar,and ofc Pompey for hanging on to the dictatorship when he should have relinquished power back to the Senate,maybe just maybe he knew that Caesar would take power anyway....good series tho, lol
@Mike32587 That was my favorite part of the whole speech! Getting executed by being thrown off the cliffside of the Tarpeian Rock (on the Capitoline Hill) carried with it the stigma of great shame, because it signified that you had committed a grievous crime, most often involving treason to the SPQR.
Caesar was undoubtedly a tyrant by Classical Greek standards. He usurped power and then appealed to the people. Had he not been assassinated, he would have continued some drastic things in Rome. Blame Sulla though. He was the first to truly act out. Also blame Marius for his army changes that saw the troops only loyal to their general.
@danielharmonizer Maris did what he had to, to save Rome--had the senate been able to act and stop being too aristocratic, Sulla could have been avoided and Maris wouldn't have served so many terms.
@coolasacoldsummer The weaker ones are not necessarily better, most likely just because they don't get the chance to bully others. It's very interesting to see why you always want to fit yourself into those being conquered? Bullied by someone far better than you so all you can do is to rant?
Rome was the only place then where a man didn't take many wives and not everyone knelt before the king; Caesar was famous for treating his subordinates more equally than his peers - sorry if you are a slave. For that this TV series nailed it. Don't call them apes and don't think you're naturally superior just because you're born today. throw you back to that age and we'll see who are like apes more.
Rome is a stain, you are DUMB and IGNORANT anyone with any sence knows the progress cannot be attained without the success and FOLLIES of great republics and empires. Nevertheless, judging somethin at that time as "apish" is sac relig as the great Ceasar says for times that long agocannot fairly be judged by the knowledge we have now, otherwise, people of the future are likely to call us and our times as brute and apish considering the insanity that many have seen in this current lifetime!
it's 10500 US $ acording to 2005 AD estimates, but on the other hand people coud live off on 21$-41$ a day which is almost imposible in the west today.
I woud say it's equivalent of 21000-30000 US $ comparing to modern military pensions and minimal wages, a decent early salary.
@strategus999 WOW so it would be like today, say a soldier in Iraq or Afghanistan does something bad ass so their General has 20 grand deposited into their bank account. Thats cool as shit.
@coolasacoldsummer Well, the only other societies with a standard of living even approaching Rome's at the time would be China (an empire), central Persia (another empire), and India (an empire with a rigid caste system and an enormous slave underclass). Pretty much everyone else on the planet lived in a hut made of mud, or wood. Starvation among even the lowest classes was almost unheard of in the empire, and Roman surgical prowess was unmatched in the West until the 19th century.
@coolasacoldsummer Most of them were barbarians. "Barbarians", in this case, being people with no formalized legal system, no medical science, no complex architecture, no large-scale agriculture, and who were at constant war with their neighbors. Caesar and Alexander DID have "grandiose conceptions of how the world should be". And because of them, you and I are arguing on computers from our climate-controlled houses instead of sitting in mud huts, hoping we don't die of starvation or plague.
Indeed, and that's the gole of globalist elites, ecoloons, marxists and islamists. To have poor castrated barabarians easy to be bribed and manipulated. That's why education is so low nowadas and people are tought by medias to percieve the world by emotions not throu intelect or common sense. Romans and Greeks had a great vison we have le merde.
@coolasacoldsummer Well, he certainly wasn't a saint, but you have to look at the big picture. Any credible historian will tell you that Rome improved almost every place it conquered. Sure, people died, but most people saw a net benefit; security, technology, philosophy, medical science, agriculture, architecture. Rome took a million squabbling tribes and fiefdoms and forged them into one of the mightiest empires the world has ever seen. And Caesar was a hugely important part of that process.
@RincewindsHat66 That's basically what Rome did: technologically advanced peoples hundreds of years in the future whether they liked it or not, but the Judeans are a notable exception to the rule that Rome improved the lives of the people it conquered.
@zerker12568901 That depends on WHICH British tribe you're talking about: ones that worked with Rome enjoyed themselves, ones that didn't... well, didn't.
@coolasacoldsummer Well, nobody ever wrote about him being a pedophile (that I can find), could you cite your source on that? Julius Caesar was not the same person as Caligula, or Nero. He instituted a lot of social programs in Rome and across the empire, which helped a lot of people. He wasn't soft and fluffy, but he wasn't a monster, either. And, seriously, don't use Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" as a reference, it's about as historically accurate as Ridley Scott's "Gladiator".
@coolasacoldsummer Well, since his sweeping reforms were to the benefit of many average citizens, he was certainly not "devoid of principle". Also, being a cunning and (often) brutal tactician and politician does not go hand-in-hand with being a pedophile. Moreover, Caesar wasn't killed by Brutus, he was assassinated by 60 senators and other conspirators (which included Brutus). The line "Et tu, Brute?" was popularized by Shakespeare, but there's no evidence that Caesar ever said those words.
I am definitely living in the wrong time,I wish I was living in ancient times when men lived as they were supposed to,they fought courageously close quarter,not these effeminate men of nowadays fighting and killing the enemy without even seeing it!!!Spartans,Romans,Macedonians,Athenians and all the other ancient people were like lions,not the jokes of nowadays!!!
@mmoral88 jokes? they are risking their lives for us. Back in roman times way more people would die, not just from battle but from disease. You like it if more people die in battles? that's a little corrupt don't you think
@mmoral88 Yep. And a single bacterial infection could ravage an entire population and people died due to starvation and incessant war like flies. How I long for those happy days!
@mmoral88 The Soldiers today have to go through MANY worse horrors than the ancients. "Without even seeing the enemy" They have snipers, never knowing when you're going to die. The ancients knew there was a chance of dying and they knew they could prevent their death by having quick reflexes. You can't stop a bullet with strength. Plus there is many tricks, including IEDs which cause instant death. Soldiers today wage war constantly possibly for years. Show respect.
@DeathlyDavid Agreed. Modern-day soldiers also have to deal with much higher casualty rates on average and more actual days of combat.
I remember one source noting that the average World War II infantryman saw less than 20 days of combat a year while the average infantryman now might see 100 days or more. (A Vietnam combat veteran might see 200+ days if they were stationed in certain places.)

Interesting note: Caesar and Pompey were on the verge of war before Caesar had completed his conquest of Gaul. Had Vercingetorix launched his revolt against Rome only one or two years later than he did, war may have broken out between Caesar and Pompey and Caesar would have been unable to suppress the revolt, leading to the loss of Gaul and prestige for Caesar and probably tipping the scales of the war in favor of Pompey. History is full of such what-ifs.

I misspelled 'rubicon' because I try typing too fast! You'll find a lot of people are guilty of the same thing. As to me hating, I can point out a 'points of fact' that others may disagree with without 'hating'. While metaphorically this version may be right, I invited others to research and discover the 'accepted' histories and happenings of this event and the events leading up to this. How is that hating?

Movies like this do a great injustice to the historical Caesar! I invite all of you to research the true histories of the true happenings; in this case real life is so much better and so much more dramatic. Like as to why caesar 'crossed the roubicon, how he greated Marcus Antonius and so on. Hail the real Caesar!
Dbusdriver71 2 months ago
@Dbusdriver71 So is that why you misspelled Rubicon? And how is this so different than the history that we know? Caesar needed to find a way to incite the 13th to march on Rome (sacriligous offense). Perhaps this speech relies more on modern conventionalities....but it gives the modern viewer a taste of what Caesar was capable to doing with his men. Don't hate.

Nobody can speak for Caesar so forget about his true intention.
But based on his own account the reason he started the civil war was for the people and for his own dignity. So here is the interesting part, it's his enemy, not him, claimed the supremacy of the country over individual, how familiar and how often did the later dictators.
Before him, nobody declared war for people. After him, everybody used this excuse and nobody dared to say it's for himself also.
There was only one Caesar.
TheInterplanatary 4 months ago
@TheInterplanatary
The most important point for Caesar was he did not want civil war...
It was okay in his mind to conquer foreign lands since they were not Roman citizens... Outsiders...
At the end, even after Pompey betrayed him... He did not want Pompey to die... Because Pompey was a Roman and they did rule together for a period...
If the Roman Republic was not corrupt at the time, Caesar would have NEVER been able to be in power...

@RobsUpload Good point.
The actor Ciaran played a very convincing Caesar in this series. Many people thought this is a contemporary/better interpretation of Caesar. A leader with self-restraint, certainly mimics the historical figure, if we ever read Caesar's own writings. In the end the man lost control a bit, but forgivable, if we dare say so.
The point is, Caesar is likable, but Caesarians are not. As a matter of fact, most of them had little man's disease, and were disgusting.

@ricardofuego I understand your point, however I just don't put Julius Caesar being as bad as Napoleon or Hitler.
He was a tyrant, no doubt about it, he broke the laws of his own country and forced his regime upon everyone. However this was much needed to unite Rome so that he could make it strong, which in those days mattered a lot more than it does now.
Rome lasted a thousand years after his reign on the foundations he built, he was revered and his name was given to subsequent emperors.
Alexc3217 5 months ago
@Alexc3217 The same can be said about Hitler. The only reason you don't put him in that category is because in one case you identify with the european jews and in the other you identify yourself with the romans. Why, I don't know. I don't know why you respect one genocide -almost worship him- and condemn another.
ricardofuego 5 months ago
@ricardofuego Yes but Hitler used hate speeches to turn a country in on itself to kill people for how they were born, namely anyone non aryan (did I spell that right?). This is why we don't like Hitler, not because he was a war monger on the same level as Caesar.
All empires were war mongers, as such you cannot put them all at the same level, they just aren't the same.

@strongpowerman5 English received as many influences as Celtic, old german dialects, latin, french and on. The fact that a vast extent of english vocabulary has direct or indirect latin origin does not change its fundamentaly germanic, thus, barbaric nature. Rome's influence spreaded latin through all of europe, like US spreads english today, but even the way a latin word sounds in the voice of an Engish speaker, shows how far it is, in its essence, from latin.

@locoawise true but by then Rome had conquered Greece and most of the writings read by the Roman elite were in Greek. And later in the Eastern half of the Roman Empire Greek was spoken much more widely than latin. Though this is probably the only 'clear' split in the languages spoken as latin was still used in law and governance issues.
Venatores66 8 months ago
@Venatores66 No wonder greek was considered a noble and formal language, for all peoples of the ancient era. But so was the classic latin, whici differs from vulgar latin both in form and prestige. In any case, not only Juliius Ceasar, but any general who would adress to a roman legion would use latin. My criticism is directed to the use of germanic languages to depict romans as the lexic of English for example would be considered barbaric and savage.

@locoawise Pff. So your vulgary mutilation of latin - called italian - would be much more "cultiviated"? Bullshit. All these "latin" languages are mere shadows of a once noble language.

But of course, capitalism chooses money over culture, so yes we'll have to stick with that.

When that happens, will it mean I'm more a German than I am now?Or am I closer to Anlgo-Saxons because I know English? Although I can't read full texts in latin, its words aren't likely to sound strange as to me, as entschuldigung does.

@locoawise Why should you be more "closer" to an ethnic group by speaking a language? You seem to miss the point as a whole. You are talking about racial boundaries towards their culture and how brits should not "interpret" others history. That's racism. It's not about your race or your descent. If I'm able to read latin fluent and you aren't, I'm closer to the roman cultural identity than you are, regardless of you being of any "latin race". That's what I'm talking about.

@Kathrinoyo I'M TALKING ABOUT Culture, not race. I deny your thesis of becoming closer to romanic culture. Partialy, you are, closer than other anglo-saxons. Yet, you are not a roman yourself. But that's not the point, which is, if you can read latin, perhaps the actors of such tv series should try, at least, sound more plausible. Take the English reference of nobility to intepret high class romans or whatever, is not credible.

Caesar definitely had a great spin here but it was still a good speech. Actually in his own words he did mention that the action was also for his dignity and esteem, not just for the 'people'. In that regard, Caesar was a relatively honest roman, far better than today's politician. Anyway a 'republic' which failed to deal with Caesar would not have survived a new Hannibal, should there be any.

Mark Antony always gives that look to Titus that says "Get your arse over here or I'll flog it raw and drag you Caesar myself!". One thing that Caesar was right on was that Pompey would have likely taken total power if he didn't march on Rome. The Republic at that time was all but finished thanks to ambitious generals like Caesar and Pompey who followed a trend of training and paying their own legions which demonstrated how the Senate failed to solve many problems which plagued Rome.

Caesar was undoubtedly a tyrant by Classical Greek standards. He usurped power and then appealed to the people. Had he not been assassinated, he would have continued some drastic things in Rome. Blame Sulla though. He was the first to truly act out. Also blame Marius for his army changes that saw the troops only loyal to their general.

And because of them, you and I are arguing on computers from our climate-controlled houses instead of sitting in mud huts, hoping we don't die of starvation or plague.

Indeed, and that's the gole of globalist elites, ecoloons, marxists and islamists. To have poor castrated barabarians easy to be bribed and manipulated. That's why education is so low nowadas and people are tought by medias to percieve the world by emotions not throu intelect or common sense. Romans and Greeks had a great vison we have le merde.

@coolasacoldsummer Well, he certainly wasn't a saint, but you have to look at the big picture. Any credible historian will tell you that Rome improved almost every place it conquered. Sure, people died, but most people saw a net benefit; security, technology, philosophy, medical science, agriculture, architecture. Rome took a million squabbling tribes and fiefdoms and forged them into one of the mightiest empires the world has ever seen. And Caesar was a hugely important part of that process.

@RincewindsHat66 That's basically what Rome did: technologically advanced peoples hundreds of years in the future whether they liked it or not, but the Judeans are a notable exception to the rule that Rome improved the lives of the people it conquered.

@zerker12568901 That depends on WHICH British tribe you're talking about: ones that worked with Rome enjoyed themselves, ones that didn't... well, didn't.

@coolasacoldsummer Well, nobody ever wrote about him being a pedophile (that I can find), could you cite your source on that? Julius Caesar was not the same person as Caligula, or Nero. He instituted a lot of social programs in Rome and across the empire, which helped a lot of people. He wasn't soft and fluffy, but he wasn't a monster, either. And, seriously, don't use Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" as a reference, it's about as historically accurate as Ridley Scott's "Gladiator".

@coolasacoldsummer Well, since his sweeping reforms were to the benefit of many average citizens, he was certainly not "devoid of principle". Also, being a cunning and (often) brutal tactician and politician does not go hand-in-hand with being a pedophile. Moreover, Caesar wasn't killed by Brutus, he was assassinated by 60 senators and other conspirators (which included Brutus). The line "Et tu, Brute?" was popularized by Shakespeare, but there's no evidence that Caesar ever said those words.

Ah... the joy of being told to sound like a mental patient by someone barely able to write.
Anyway: How do "we" know, Caesar liked children? There is a great many of biographies - but who wrote them? When?
Most roman biographies were written in the roman empire, not the republic (that means: a hundred years and up later).
And those that are actually contemporary? Can we trust autobiographies written by political enemies like Cicero? No. We know nothing. We assume.

Oh, so you knew Caesar in person? Otherwise I would be quite interested in your sources for that assumption.

I am definitely living in the wrong time,I wish I was living in ancient times when men lived as they were supposed to,they fought courageously close quarter,not these effeminate men of nowadays fighting and killing the enemy without even seeing it!!!Spartans,Romans,Macedonians,Athenians and all the other ancient people were like lions,not the jokes of nowadays!!!

@mmoral88 jokes? they are risking their lives for us. Back in roman times way more people would die, not just from battle but from disease. You like it if more people die in battles? that's a little corrupt don't you think

@mmoral88 Yep. And a single bacterial infection could ravage an entire population and people died due to starvation and incessant war like flies. How I long for those happy days!

@mmoral88 The Soldiers today have to go through MANY worse horrors than the ancients. "Without even seeing the enemy" They have snipers, never knowing when you're going to die. The ancients knew there was a chance of dying and they knew they could prevent their death by having quick reflexes. You can't stop a bullet with strength. Plus there is many tricks, including IEDs which cause instant death. Soldiers today wage war constantly possibly for years. Show respect.

@DeathlyDavid Agreed. Modern-day soldiers also have to deal with much higher casualty rates on average and more actual days of combat.
I remember one source noting that the average World War II infantryman saw less than 20 days of combat a year while the average infantryman now might see 100 days or more. (A Vietnam combat veteran might see 200+ days if they were stationed in certain places.)
