The decimation story is controversial, but I don't really believe Caesar did it. Decimation would have mean the killing of 400 men, and that would have had a strong impact on the morale of the legion. And considering there was a civil war, it would have been easy for that legion to deflect to his enemies. Caesar realised this and wasn't stupid, plus he was a populist and understood the importance of morale and knew how to manipulate masses. The killing of the ringleaders sounds more accurate.
@bloggsie619 Thanks so much.. I actually found it and finally got to watch it all and I believe it was called by that name.. I appreciate your comment though.. :)
Caesar was prone to temper sometimes such as when prior to the civil war, when attempting to get a land reform bill passed he had cato arrested, for phillibustering senatorial business, which led to most of the senate leaving with one stating " i would rather be in jail with cato than here with you". so he was not entirely without recklessness and temper.
Caesar preferred to rely upon other methods to generate influence with other Roman citizens and foreign agents. He paid well and gave you your space and rights, so long as you were NOT a known enemy of Rome.Once a Gaul or German lost that legal status, (by having the General personally name you an enemy) any person could legally kill that man and bring his head to the nearest Roman fortified camp for payment or reward for that action. Or he might just demote you from Centurion to Letagus.
This is a deeply inaccurate depiction of Caesar's actual character and temperment. He couldn't be more different. He considered himself the model Roman aristocrat and took his reputation very seriously.He would never be reduced to such manners. This is known by the numerous historical pieces written by people who actually knew him during his lifetime. Its sad to see such a talented professional soldier and statesman reduced to a mascara wearing snake of a man. He would never hit his officers.
LOL. This series depicts Giaus Julius Caesar as an arrogant, humorless commanding officer who strikes his men and talks like this. LMAO. G.J.Caesar was the essential Roman stateseman, politician, social activist and a master of clear and unflinching thought processes. He certainly never hit or verbally berated (normally) his soldiers least of all his officer corps. He didn't wear mascara and he didn't blame others for his tactical errors. Thumbs down for historical accuracy.
Are you kidding? I've read Caesar's campaigns (Bello Gallico to be precise) and he is by far the actor who depicts Caesar the best. I really have the impression of seeing the man of which I read the writings.
Also 'didn't blame others for his tactical errors'? Dude, in Bello Gallico he always does that, like at Gergovia that he repeated many times it was only his legionnaries' fault if they didn't retreat, etc.
Caesar is very well depicted in that documentary, unlike Pompey.
I a big fan of the Gallic War commentaries as well. If you recall correctly, the battle of Gergovia was lost because his Legionaires did NOT retreat when they heard the trumpet to pull back. Because they had just taken three subcamps, they were overconfident and exposed themselves by penetrating too far into the enemy "body" of troops so to speak.They were encircled and lost 45 Centurions and 700 Legionaires.But you are correct in that he blamed them.The Caesar character from HBO Rome sucks too.
They should have chosen someone else as Marc Antony, I know Julius Caesar by Shakespeare was mostly fiction but the sheer magnetism of Marc Antony in that book was so much more than I see this actor giving. This guy as M.A. seems frail.
lol, it is not that we will not accept it, it is that Lucan is fundamentally a dodgy source, and Cassius Dio says that only the ringleaders were executed. I did not know that Julius Caesar still had any supporters given that he left the political arena, oh I do not know, some 2050 years ago.
How untrue, and what a sadness. It has been written in virtually all sources that Caesar only disbanded and discarded this legion, and only when this legion asked to be admitted again, the ringleaders (several dozens) have been whipped, and all of the legioners lost their titles, merits and money, and that's all.
Caesar is the only one who starts coup d'etat with a sober head (Cicerone). That was a problem of Pompey - he was not that one. His portraits - all of them - accurately represent him as a chronic alcoholic.
