[@matthewhollis250]

Hey history man :) I'm one of the Kings and Generals writers and a big fan of this channel, although I didn't write this Caesar series. You're one of the only 'reaction' channels I've seen that gives that particular niche a good name. I'm really glad to see you've boomed in popularity lately and wish you the best of luck in growing further.

[@thegodofthegods1084]

I love this guys reactions, as well as when he goes to Wikipedia to clarify a lot of scenarios. I really enjoy this channel.

[@eutropius2699]

Yea I don’t like the idea of reaction videos but I am a big fan of this guy. If you ever watched HBO’s Rome, he looks like Lepidus from that.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

@@eutropius2699 he may call these “reaction videos” but they really aren’t. He isn’t reacting to anything but explaining and delving deeper into the information being presented.

[@Ugly_German_Truths]

Caesar was a well made series, but your channel's grand Opus will for a long time stay the Pacific War Series.... mindblowing how much effort went into that and how amazing the results came out! (And you're still getting better with the experience from what? 40 episodes atm? you gathered!)

[@darthcalanil5333]

Highly recommended Historia Civilis and their series on the civil wars. It's less about the typical "military stuff", and more about the actual people, personalities, culture, religion, thoughts and mindset that lead to the events that defined history. Incredibly presented and easy to get into.

[@MegaUMU]

We won't stop till he watches historia civilis

[@charliemills6955]

Yeah it’s a great series

[@Ardez]

Big agree, what a great channel

[@mikaeljensen4399]

We will not yield!

[@austinyoung1631]

Dude that channel is one of my favorite too! We neeed reactions too all there videos!

[@MrKeegi]

If you continue with Caesar, definitely definitely check Historia Civilis. Not only does he have a 20+ video series specifically about Caesar and his accomplishments both as a politician and a general, but constantly goes in depth about the customs, laws and quirks of Rome, it's laws, the way a Roman Triumph proceeds and so on. STRONGLY recommended!

[@Nikolaj11]

Seconded.

[@MegaUMU]

Another video another petition for historia civilis: Bit more indept but his videos rlly makes understand the whole context and all multiple perspectives of for example roman history

[@timhare9867]

I really hope he does release Actium soon.

[@doomdrake123]

I second that petition.

[@noelostetter8236]

Two things about Vercingetorix, you mentioned the fact that many statues of him can be seen in France which is true. He was elevated to the status of national hero during the Third republic (1870-1940) in what is called the "Roman national" which was basically created after the Franco-Prussian war in order to create a huge patriotic feeling. Secondly the fact that he knew Cesar’s tactics so well is because he actually served as a Roman auxiliary and was even Cesar’s tent companion (contubernalis) so the two of them knew themselves really well.

[@Das_Kaenguru]

That’s the moment vercingetorix probably asked: come on, can we just auto resolve this battle? Please? Imagine the Gauls winning here….full blown uprising of Gaul…two of romes most skilled generals (Cesar&labienus) dead…Marc Anthony too…more than 10 legions wiped out…fascinating to think about how this would have affected today…

[@SplendidFactor]

The horror, I can't imagine life without French Baguettes.

[@Crowentine]

[@jsealejandro06]

Just adding another voice to the historia civilis crowd. Great content btw. Best historical reaction channel I've seen.

[@AKAZA-kq8jd]

By the end of Caesar campaign in Gaul experience is the teacher of all things.

[@canadian__ninja]

It's intriguing that the only legion that "heard" the order was the famous 10th, Caesar's favourite. I wonder how much of a coincidence it really is.

[@PrimusGladius]

It is things like this that make me wish I could have been there to see what was really happening rather than rely on only the surviving accounts.

[@WaywardVet]

Glad you covered this, and props to the original content creators. I only knew about him after the infamous crossing of the Rubicon, but what little I do know makes a lot more sense now. An army used to long marches, demanding work, sudden changes of plans and adapting their skills, facing larger enimies and winning... I just imagine enemy garrison troops ready to desert over conditions Caesar's well seasoned men would just laugh at. Any new guy joining Caeser is just going to be amazed at the confidence of his frontier vets. (On a random note, I do recall one war historian noting that a common complaint from soldiers in all eras is food quality. He said there's was a strange lack of recorded complaints compared to most other eras, so not only master engineers, but his foraging parties clearly were experts as well, and supply lines in decent order. Fibbing a little about casualties, decent food, stories of him rallying and rescuing his troops... I can see his men's morale as "Rome is the best in the world, and we are the best of Rome.")

[@RobinFromAshes]

Historia Civilis.

[@jer1234ish]

I already commented but I really must reiterate; definitely react to these guys!

[@BCKS55]

Vercingetorix served as an auxilary in the roman army, especially during Caesar's campaigns in Brittania (he was kind of an aide for Caesar if I'm remembering well). So yes, he knew roman's tactics and Caesar's tactics :)

[@darthcalanil5333]

I think there were such speculations, but non of the sources say so for sure.

[@Yora21]

Armenius did for certain. And still people get surprised when local allies turn the weapon you gave them on you.

[@kalependlebury7387]

Spartacus owes a lot of his success to his experience in the Roman Auxiliary as well. Know thy enemy! Even if Vercingetorix himself didn't serve I am sure he was able to gather enough intelligence from people who fought with or against Caesar. Who in their right mind could have predicted that Caesar would be bold enough and resourseful enough to win at Alesia.

[@abdulrafay9872]

I really hope you do Caesar's Civil War as well as it is the continuation of the Gallic Wars and the story of Caesar so I think that the series is incomplete without it. Also it is very well done by Kings and Generals

[@alexandersturnn4530]

And so, all of Gaul fell under Roman Rule. ALL of Gaul? NO! One small Village of indomitable Gauls does not cease to resist the Invaders. XD

[@suntiger745]

I was waiting for this comment. XD

[@louishardiman7749]

Loved it and am excited for Caesar's Civil War series too!

[@eutropius2699]

Siege of Alesia wasn’t Marcus Antoninus’ first battle (somewhere around 24:20) Idk what Marc’s first battle was but he was a Calvary commander by this time so he had to have some experience.

[@10Tabris01]

You're going to love the battly of Dyrrachion, which basically was fought in a similar manner to what we would see on the western front of WWI. Also, getting stabbed to death in front of the senate is a kinda strange definition for "everything works out"

[@jeffreymaxson6216]

The Roman's also used that siege tactic at seguntim during the first punic war.

[@nicolasnod7359]

Amazing, I really appretiated how the last chapter caught you off guard (K&G rarely leaves much out, they are really good). So you came back with a punch on this one, ready with loads of information and input. The thought of "this is why Caesar went down in history" comes many times when styudying him, when he boldly told the pirates who captured him that he would return and kill them all (and later on he did), when he built his own navy while in enemy territory (because, why not?) and so on... I really hope you continue down this glorious mans history with the K&G Ceasar's civil war videos, there's always room to learn new things.

[@DradonDragon]

whilst I have been lurking around watching the videos for a while, I wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into these video! I am super surprised at how much your comments and videos have interested me in history. When I was in high school and I took history class I wanted to enjoy learning about WW2 and find other times that would peek my interest. however my school never really let us dive into things and actually stand still by what happened as the only thing that mattered was 'Learning what is next on the test' not to forget they skip over so many subjects like: napoleon, the American Civil war(as I live in Europe) and even Caesar was only 3 lessons. which made it more about memorizing for tests then actually enjoying and learning. however 4 years later I am 2 educations further and currently on holiday (then again I am kinda still just at house being safe with covid and stuff) , and I had given up on history as my school made it clear that it wasn't interesting at all! it was only to take tests and I started to hate history the most, but after having watched your video on reaction of oversimplified I was sucked in! I never though that I could actually enjoy watching someone talk about history and get me to want to read more about it! you inspired me to learn more about the Napoleonic wars(which I never got to enjoy because school completely skipped it), the American civil war(which is even more fun cause you know a lot of about it!), and now Caesar! I am getting so excited to watch every video and I feel like I am becoming a 'boomer' at the age of 22. I am spending my summer watching my former most hated subject! then again maybe it was because of how it was handled that I never enjoyed it! Thanks to you, I have found a love for history I never though possible and I wanted to truly thank you for it! (if you actually read all of this then wow, sorry for the long message :). thanks so much for spending time out of your probably busy life to read this message! . I hope you and your family have an amazing day/night/morning or whatever it is for you rn! good luck making all the video's and I cannot wait to see more about Caesar and learn more about history!

[@libertyprime6932]

Excellent reaction, Caesar is so much fun because he throws himself into such crazy situations lol. Hope you do the Civil War as well 😁

[@thewiseoldherper7047]

You commented about Caesar’s double wall at Alesia. Another example would be Grant at Vicksburg. He built double trenches also in case the Confederate Army of the Tennessee under Johnston attacked him from the rear but that army never materialized.

[@AlwaysBolttheBird]

Whenever I hear about the walls and fortifications Caesar builds I always think of the Family Guy episode where the Amish just keep building the barn in like 10 seconds

[@benyoung9451]

After Caesar you have to watch Jeremy clarksons Victoria cross and greatest raid of all

[@anderskorsback4104]

Caesar is definitely one of those winners who didn't know when to quit, and a stroke of bad luck at the wrong time could indeed have undone him. His Egyptian intervention is a particular case in point. He went in with just one legion and got so badly outnumbered in the Siege of Alexandria that it would likely have been the end of him had Roman allies not been around to send a relief army. And even when he succeeded, he gained very little in strategic terms, while giving his enemies in the ongoing Roman civil war time to recover from their previous defeats.

[@themadgamer7895]

I recommend King and generals how Rome conquered Greece video that part of Roman history doesn't get enough love and eyes and it's got some great moments that I think you'd enjoy Edit: it's also long enough to be a few days worth of content

[@Lightman0359]

There are 2 other major ancient battles I can think of where the counter-circumvalllation tactic is used. 1 is also used by Caesar during the civil war, I think in Spain, it was a gnarly fight as well. The other was I think in one of the early crusades, the siege of either Jaffa or Acre I think, the Crusaders besieged the city,, then were themselves besieged by the Muslim army, for a total of 3 siege walls, 4 if you count the city walls. In that one, the Crusader lines reached the sea so they could get supplies and reinforcements.

[@RaphaellGlau]

Found your channel through oversimplified, now I'm addicted to your videos. Cheers from Brazil.

[@saltminer4429]

Please check out kings and general's video on Emperor Aurelian, restitutitor orbis, or restorer of the world during the crisis of the 3rd century. I'm sure you would love to hear about how he restored the Roman Empire when it broke apart.

I'm a very new member. I'm still catching up on all your content. I especially enjoy your reaction videos. I've learned so much in the last few days. Thank you.

[@sullysnq5430]

There are accounts that talk about the battle of the Northwest part of the walls. There were hills both inside and outside of the fortifications. Anytime something was happening, both sides on each elevated plain would react to events. When Caesar showed up, or when the Gallic warriors made a push, both the Romans, and the Celtic warriors would go back and forth yelling and warcrying from their amphitheater seats.

[@skybeard3113]

I’ve been really enjoying this series so far, thanks

Fun fact, in Belgium Ambiorix is very famous in Belgium, like Vercingetorix in France, and you can find a statue of him in Tongeren (Atuatuca back in the day).

[@kennethstople3969]

Some pronounciations which can be added in your next movie. C`s are pronounced as K in Latin and even Koine Greek. Ceasar is Kaesar, which the german word "Kaisar" or emperor takes its meaning from. Another less important note is that the letter "J" does not exist during this time, and the letter "I" is used instead. So the big mans correct name would be: Gaius Iulius Kaesar.

The only other prime example of that quick of fortifications building I can think of is during the Warring States period in Japan (I believe it was Toritama Hideyoshi ((super sorry on spelling)) building the fort “overnight” right under the nose of another.

I saw Historia Civilis do almost a whole episode on the Siege of Avaricum and boy... 27 days of rain, while building wooden ramparts, before his army starved to death... Other then Caesar, I truly believe ANY other person would have failed that mission.

[@Hardrada_1066]

Not being a huge military history nerd, I wonder: Is it outlandish to consider the siege of Alesia as the potentially best battle one side has ever fought? Across command and soldiers.

[@VloggingThroughHistory]

I think it certainly has to be considered.

[@Hardrada_1066]

@@VloggingThroughHistory Interesting! I'm not too informed as I said, but comparing it to the most celebrated German battles that I know of, I don't think any can compare most likely. Teutoburg Forest, Lechfeld, Magdeburg, Leuthen, Königgrätz, Sedan, the encirclement movements of WW2 - many of these are much more symbolic than brilliant, so I don't think any of my people are in this conversation?

[@rickfield710]

I love your channel and your knowledge - I wish I had history teachers half as good as you back when I was in school. :) As a Belgian, I do wish to point out that Ambiorix, too, is remembered to this day. In Tongeren, there is even a statue of him. :) Us Belgians have always had a good chuckle with 'the bravest of all Gaulish people are the Belgae'... considering how many times we've been invaded and occupied. LOL

[@SRosenberg203]

22:00 I like that you point out the tactical significance of that move. Yes, it is cruel and heartless, but from a tactical standpoint it's exactly correct, and honestly there IS no other choice. Any decision Caesar could have made other than that, would have put his men at further risk. It kind of brings to mind Richard the Lionheart executing those prisoners after the Siege of Acre; his only options were to set them free to rejoin Saladin's army, allow Saladin to delay him from marching south until the following spring, leave the prisoners in Acre with enough men to properly guard them which would deplete his army, or else leave them without enough guards, allowing them to potentially retake Acre from the inside and putting his wife and sister at risk. He had no option at all but to execute them.

[@jfk8540]

2 of the most interesting periods of the roman republic are the punic wars and the roman conquest of greece, a lot of political intrigue in greece and the way it all goes down is more complicated than you’d think. another area of history you’d likely be very interested in are the wars of the diadochi after the death of Alexander the great, the rivalries between the generals of alexander are some of the best stories of antiquity

The only similar case I can think of is the 1st Crusade siege of Antioch. The crusaders besieging the Citadel of Antioch while a huge Turkish army besieging them.

[@brianmaphar9685]

You talk about the long history of battles in Europe. My 'birth town' was a former Roman settlement, raised by Emperor Hadrianus (Hadrian for the english speaking peeps) 2000 years ago. It was situated against the Rhine just in the very corner of the Roman empire, there where the Roman Empire ended and Germania/Celts/Frisia country began. Many battles were fought in that border region and some of the sites were later 're-discovered'. Just saying, that the world history is a lot older than the NA history. Many battles between nations/empires and kingdoms were fought, all across Europe, (and elsewhere in the world, like China, Japan and India) before most modern countries existed. 1 thing that hasnt changed in +2000 years, is that the conquering army takes the lives and possessions of the conquered. The great Generals of the past and present are no different. War crimes happen and on all sides, back then and now. In The Hague (which borders to my birth town), we/they have the ICC (International Criminal Court) where many former generals are imprisoned for war crimes. Edited: wow... coincedence??? Just had my eyes on an article from earlier this month, that they have discovered/dug up, a Roman made canal at my 'birth place'. What are the odds for that to see these vids and them finding that at same time...

[@loufancelli1330]

Regarding pronunciation, here is what I have understood from my Latin studies, which includes 4 years of high school and was my college major. Vercingetorix would have been pronounced by Caesar as [wer-kin-get-or-ix]. Romans did not have a V sound, as the V would have been pronounced [w] and in some cases is stood in for the letter U, but ever as the modern [v] sound. Latin also did not have a soft g (i.e. the [j] sound) every time you see a G in Latin it is a hard G (as in get). They also never used a soft C (or [s] sound) with the letter C, it is always hard C (as in car). [s] was only used with the letter S. Latin also did not have a [ch] or [sh] sound. Having said all of that, now I do pronounce it the way you do [ver-sin-JET-or-ix]

Ver-sing-jet-oricks may be the proper Gallic pronunciation, but the Romans always used a hard 'g' (and hard 'c.' Sis-ero? No! Kickero for Cicero) so Wer-sin-get-orix would be the approximate classical Latin pronunciation. And the winner of the battle would be known as Guy-us Yulee-us Kai-zer (Gaius Julius Caesar). Also we might not know Vercingetorix's personal name, as the name, Vercingetorix, is actually a title meaning something like "great warrior king".

18:25 This tactic of building your own walls around a city came back in the 16th century when star fortresses became a problem for besiegers.
