Caesar, possibly the only Ruler to successfully use the "I'm not mad, just disappointed" argument to win back a legion

Hey all, I was the scriptwriter and historian for this series, if you have any questions, please do leave them below and I'll do my best to get around to them!

It's unbelievable how Caesar handled the rebellious legions in Italy. They started out trying to blackmail him, 1:05:00, but in the end he had them begging to be executed at random (decimation) just for the privilege of fighting alongside him yet again. Which is what Caesar wanted and needed all along. This encapsulates exactly why Caesar was such a great leader.

I cannot understand people who find history boring, this was fascinating! thank you for your hard work posting it all..👍

Wow, never knew that the resistance against Caesar was this protracted. In books, it’s usually summarized down to chasing Pompey to Egypt, the affair with Cleopatra and the defeat of her brother, the triumphant return to Rome and then the conspiracy and assassination. I mean I get it, books have to be concise and school semesters are only so long. But man, this is pure gold!

Christmas comes early this year my fellow history fans. Glory to kings and general's, glory to Rome!!

History isn't what happened - it's what people say happened. The fact there's still ongoing discussions and disagreements about Caesar's character proves this. I'm glad your series on Caesar offers multiple perspectives, making it as close to an unbiased account as humanly possible. Ironically, it was Caesar's assassins, not Caesar himself, who ended up putting the final nail in the republic's coffin and opening the way for the first true emperor.

Amazed by Caesar's ability to turn incredible odds in his favor. Even more amazed by his legions' bravery and discipline in these situations. Most of all, I am extremely impressed by your presentation of these events.

I've never grown actively angry while hearing about the account of Caesar's assassination. Well done K&G, well done.

I remember Historia Civilis explaining that the "Not King, but Caesar!" might have been a kind of joke, since King (Rex) was a used gens name at he time, and so Caesar was basically trying to say "No, no, you have the wrong person."

This is easily the best documentary I've seen on the Caesarian civil wars. You guys freaking NAILED this one. I've watched just about every video there is to watch on this subject, some of them DOZENS of times and I was thrilled with this one! There is a LOT of depth on this time period and even though you guys didn't throw in a few details I would have like to have seen, you managed to do an amazing job with the overarching narrative. I can't wait for your next series on Octavian and the new Empire. THANK YOU!

Say what you will about his motivations, he was an incredibly talented general and he knew his people. How he dealt with the mutiny where the 10th were begging for decimation is a prime example of how good he was. I'd love to see an alternate world where he wasn't assassinated just to see more of his wars. Thanks K & G for the documentary!

His life and story are just incredible. It reads like a novel, that's how amazing it all is. A great man, one who we'll talk about in another 2,000 years for sure. Ave Caesar

Of all the fascinating stories of Caesar, I think this is one of my favorites. Putting down a mutiny with one word, “citizens”. Just goes to show the respect he commanded.

This is one of the best documentary series online anywhere. The graphical representations, imagery and strategic maps are aids and tools for the narrator. Sadly many documentaries try to overblow the fluff (too much eye candy, real-life enactments, etc.), and miss the mark. It's the narration, script and sequential telling of the history that matters...and you do an excellent job! I wish more documentaries were done this way.

Cesar was such a genius

Alexander the Great or Caesar, the argument will rage forever; but personally I believe it was in fact Caesar. His ability to adopt to multi situation, on Sea, Land, and Horses, against opponents that were not just incredibly diverse, but also equal to him ( on paper ). Yet he prevailed in almost every single battle.
