This is Canada:

Harper: You should have Toronto and the East and I will make due with Alberta and the Western Provinces

Layton: Toronto and the East has what? Rowdy French, Indians (Aboriginal), a fractious Parliment, All the trouble of keeping the Canadian Mob happy. The West is where the money is; the grain supply (and oil), most of the tax revenue

Ignatieff: And I?... What would I get?

Harper: Oh, yes... The Territories and Nunavut

Thumbs up if you are Canadian and Understand! ;)

[USAPropaganda]

@NinjXPk Oh god dont even mention canada in the presence of Rome you go to far you peasant.

[NinjXPk]

@USAPropaganda I do not dare think Canada anywhere near the glory of Rome. I am merely making fun of my own country's politics because well, it fits.

[Saiaton]

Marcus Aemilius Lepidus was the respectable face. Even though Julius Caesar's ancestors were chieftains when Alba Longa was a separate village, he sided with the commoners against the aristocracy. Octavian inherited his aura by being chosen worth adoption in his will but he was considered too young. Marcus Antonius was an ill-tempered drunken lecher from a family all the same. Lepidus was their older respectable highly religious link to get the aristocracy on board.

[1992lukiboy]

well that s not bad but why have you added the soundtrack from the fountain, it does not realy fit (that`s my opinion)

[TheLegendoftheWest]

To CRUUSHHHH!!! The rebels!!!

thumb up if you laughed when you saw "cum"

[mashukun]

Mmmm... Caesar was stabbed 23 times as noted in one of the earliest documented autopsies (note: Nicolaus of Damascus)

[ddd1953]

Lepidus was an honest man, not a great one, just a Roman doing his duty. He was easy to shove aside.

He is written by some historians as "The last Real Roman"

[Saiaton]

Is the whole 'Rome' series available in order anywhere? Or is it still in copyright?

[ASunsetSilhouette]

Haha, the fountain.

[Tubsiwub]

Caesar was stabbed 23 times, while it's said to be 27 from the video. :(

[MaliceNMyHeart]

Prince, this is nicely done!

[Caliche316]

Very Nicely done Princepsmaximus

[Evocati2008]

One thing that always bothered me was the fact that Antony was always loyal to Julius Caesar, and Octavian never gave him his credit for such.

[rachelroxtheworld]

i loved this video it had so much info in it. i wasnt so fond of all the sabbing and blood but i guess thats what they did back then.

[hurthail69]

pullo has got the right attitude in this show romestreamsonline -dot-info

[DitzyStephanie]

How come they never talk about Lepidus properly? I don't know an awful lot about Roman history, but he can't have been an inconsiderable political opponent if he was included as a triumvir.

[Princepsmaximus]

In historical books about that time there is never written much about him. The reason is we don´t know him well because of a lack of ancient sources concerning Lepidus. The only reason for his engagement as triumvir was - i think - that in 43 he had many legions in Gaul.

[tonylast47]

@Princepsmaximus Lepidus was one of Julius Caesar's commanders in Gaul, along with Marc Antony. He did not have the same power base as Marc Antony or Gaius Octavian and lost his position before the final battle between Octavian and Antony

[nappyweed111]

@Princepsmaximus He and Antony were two of caesar's closes allies. Lepidus did have a great deal of legions and he was part of the triumvir. However when Antony was in the east, sextus pompeius, son of Pompeii who had a treaty with the triumvir, started gaining big victories with his navy. And he was becoming incredibly popular at a time when the triumvir were not. Lepidus tried to form an alliance with him and when he was caught by octavian he was forced from his position as triumvir.

[Mythbuff]

@DitzyStephanie the only reason Lepidus got anywhere was due to Julius Caesar and the fact that he came from an influential family, then he groveled at the feet of Cicero and the Senate only to be sent after Antony and to turn traitor and to end up as a Triumvir who wouldn't be given much thought (not that anyone cared about the man to begin with).

[alexkollar]

Lepidus was the weaker of the three. When Pompeii Magnuses son rebelled against Octavian. Lepidus and Octavian defeated him. Octavians army suffered more casualties, and Lepidus getting greedy thought he'd take the opportunity to usurp Octavian. Unfortunately Lepidus troops switched to Octavians side because of what Octavian was compensating soldiers (better money and lands). Lepidus was forced into exile and lost all his power.

[tonylast47]

@DitzyStephanie he wasa very good general, served under Julius Caesar in Gaul, came out on the side of the Senate in the civil war, but sided with Octavian and Marc Antony after the civil war ended with the battle of Phillipi. He was made part of the Triumvir because ofr this, but his spehere of influence was never in Rome where it counted and Octavian eventually sidelined him.

[29gmj]

@DitzyStephanie I suppose they just used him when it was convenient to do so

[SV2609]

That soundtrack is from movie 'Fountain' absolute enchanting and uplifting music. When i listen to that music, i feel i am dead and ascending the heaven. It feels eternal!!

[Townclownsunite]

We are Rome.....and, We are just as stupid!

[Jason75441]

I wonder What if Roman republic still are standing today?

[Respublica1000]

Fall of respublica, ancient yet current, excellent

[acerb45666555]

2:32 the real Roman Senate building is very differant from this! its just a little square building with a really high roof and four huge windows near the top.

[Princepsmaximus]

I think in roman history there were many different buildings, for example the "Curia Iulia", "Curia Cornelia", "Curia of the Theatre of Pompey" etc. Caesar was assassinated in the last one.

[poetpickles]

@Princepsmaximus Historically speaking, you are correct. Caesar was murdered in the Theatre of Pompey which, if memory serves me correctly, was the first stone theatre built in Rome. It is said that he died under a statue of Pompey. The senate was meeting there that day, not to mention symbolic significance.

[vdotme]

@poetpickles historically speaking?

[Pavelic96]

@Princepsmaximus How do you know so much about Caesar and Rome?

[Princepsmaximus]

@Pavelic96

I´m a student of history and roman history is one of my favourite themes.

[mrdanni]

@Princepsmaximus Era not 'themes'

[raykaelin]

@acerb45666555 Julius Caesar wasn't killed in the old Senate building (which at the time had been recently burnt down by a mob and was in the process of being rebuilt) but in a building called "'Pompey's Theater" a few blocks away. The floor and several rooms of which has been excavated and can be found in the city of modern Rome to this day. I know as I visited it myself out of respect for the man.

[ezekielkinkade44]

@raykaelin this is most likely true as the senate house that Caesar was murdered in is closer to the current Campo di Fiori as opposed to what we currently know as the senate house.

[mashukun]

@acerb45666555 Agreed - the Curia in the forum is square in shape and not curved at all as was shown in this dramatization by HBO. However, Caesar was actually assassinated in a "temporary" senate house - it was in the curia at the Theatre of Pompey - of all places. That building was designated as an official, temporary senate house as the "real" one in the forum was under reconstruction at the time.

[LEH3500]

@acerb45666555 The present senate is not the same as the one from this era. Also if you care for accuracy Caesar was most likely killed in the Curia of Pompey's Theater, which was likely used as a temporary Senate house at this time, as some sources claim the original senate house burned down.

[athena0407]

[catalin112233]

all the same! octavian had has a huge advantage comparing with marc-anthony or others: the cesar legacy! but his determination for fighting for his rights was amazing, indeed!

[keyralover1914]

Bravo! Fantastic!

I have been looking forward to another video from Princepsmaximus, and fortunately i was not disappointed.

And once again, I will be looking forward to the sequel.
