Caesar's Speech to 13th Legion

A scene from a famous TV serie, Rome. Gaius Julius Caesar is talking to soldiers of 13th Legion. Here's the text of speech:
_______________________________________

- Soldiers! Pompey and the Senate have formally declared that Gaius Julius Caesar is an enemy of Rome.

- No!

- They have declared that I am a criminal. They have declared, in effect, that all of you also are criminals!

- No!

- The tribune's veto was not exercised. Peoples
tribune Mark Antony and 50 men of the 13th were assaulted by 1000 head of Pompeian scum.

- No !

- A tribune of the plebs assaulted on the steps of the Senate house! Can you imagine a more terrible sacrilege? Our beloved Republic is in the hands of madmen. This is a dark day, and I stand at a fork in the road. I can abide the law and surrender my arms to the Senate - and watch the Republic fall to tyranny and chaos. Or, I can go home with my sword in hand and run those maniacs to the Tarpean Rock!

- Yeah ! Yeah !

- Legionary Titus Pullo, step forward! Titus Pullo! ... When 50 brave men of the 13th fought Pompey's 1000 in the forum and saved the tribune, it was legionary Titus Pullo who drew first blood! Here is 500 denarii!

- Very grateful, sir.

- Are you with me, Titus Pullo? Will you come with me to Rome?

- Yes. Yes, sir! Certainly!

- Titus Pullo is with me! And you? Are you with me?

- Yeah! Yeah!

I think Field Marshal Rommel should be listed as one of the greatest tacticians of all time too... But no western media portrays him as a Nazi when he was just a field marshal of a non Nazi division.

@McLarenMercedes Caesar was one of the best generals in history, ranked alongside Alexander and Napoleon. People try to compare them but it's pretty much impossible given the differences in military technology in each time period. Alexander was known as the model to which Caesar aspired, however, as he was already long established as a legendary heroic figure throughout the ancient world.

Thanks for the info. Most people on youtube just write three word comments. Very few actually share some interesting info.

I read somewhere that the conquest of Gaul was a close call for Caesar anyway, and that he knew that a Roman defeat in Alesia would mean he'd have to retreat from Gaul. One can only imagine what effect on Gaul morale defeating Caesar would have had.

Instead the Roman victory was a testimony to Caesar's brilliance as a leader.

Geil ich Marschiere auch mit

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.
