Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on the history of Rome continues with an episode of the post-Caesar Civil Wars, as we look at what happened after the initial shock of Caesar's assassination. This episode will continue with the aftermath of the battle of Mutina, as Octavian, Antony, and Lepidus created a triumvirate, taking over Rome, which signaled to Brutus and Cassius, that there will be another civil war. The latter collected their legions and started building their base of operations, leading to the battles of Xanthos and Rhodes.

[@JawsOfHistory]

The Rhodians, like so many before them, learned that being a 'Friend' of the Senate and People of Rome was a very one-sided friendship, when push came to shove.

[@ilias8972]

Not only the Rhodians but all the Greeks realised it when it was already late. The Romans applied the "divide and conquer" dogma perfectly. After the battle of Cynoscephalae in 197 BC the Roman general Flamininus was proclaimed liberator of the Greeks by the Greeks themselves in Corinth. Little did they know...

Really appreciate that you dedicated a whole episode to this build up of the pompeyans. I feel like most documentaries and such skip right to the next battle. Also, just imagine if Cassius had gone after Cleopatra. That would have upended the whole next phase of this war.

No wonder the empire had to rely on barbarian mercenaries so early on the amount of manpower that was drained during the 3 civil wars of this time period is staggering

Rome relied on mercenary cavalry far longer than this period and they experienced exceptional growth after consolidating into the empire. I don’t think they were short on manpower until later.

that moment you realize that all this took place simply coz of anthony's corruption and incompetence. No wonder caesar never trusted him with full authority in rome

[@lordloss3398]

Don't trust what you read about Anthony. Alot of things were propagandised about him by Octavian. Don't forget that he went from one of Rome foremost military geniuses to a drunken dunce in a 180 turn after caesarea died.

[@panoskamp4324]

That's way too one sided. To blame it all on one man shows favouritism towards Octavian, simply because he was the winner in the end. Anthony wasn't the best statesman but to blame the whole civil war on him, when both Cicero and Octavian played the senate and the people to their advantage and the Caesar's murderers were roaming around with the people raging about it, it really wasn't Anthony's fault.

[@JeremyKolassa]

Hi Kings and Generals team, a question about the color scheme and legend. I noticed that you color in the portrait backgrounds based on what faction they were a part of. The Second Triumvirate are red, Cassius and Brutus are purple, their allies (Rhascupolis) and subordinates (Murcus and Ahenobarbus) are blue, while Sextus in Sicily is a kind of yellow-brown. I also noticed that the Triumvirate's allies and subordinates are red, and not some complementary color as it is with the other side. I'm curious if I'm reading too much into this or if there is a deeper reasoning to this, particularly with regards to Sextus. Was he part of the same faction as Cassius and Brutus, or was he a third power, independent of both the two major factions? Thank you, and I want to also add that the maps and cartography in your shows are just gorgeous. Nargiz Isayeva and Martin Stamatov do amazing work; perhaps one day they can produce a video on cartography, both historically and how they do it? (Assuming of course they're the ones who do the maps, I'm just looking at the credits.)

[@lukehaddad5185]

What would complete K&G's roman history videos is creating a series on Hannibal Barca, how the carthaginian government operated, and maybe the impact of Cannae on all subsequent Roman battles.

I´ll do it for free and I'm not even expecting recognition, I'll be glad to contribute, this channel and it's content is wonderful. I could do it now, but I would like to have your approval.

Just a small correction. Pulpudeva is located in mainland Thrace, modern day Plovdiv, you put it in Adrianople. Otherwise great video guys!

[@thomasrinschler6783]

No, Adrianople/Edirne would be just to the southeast of where they show the two Thracian kings at 14:05. They got Pulpudeva/Plovdiv pretty much correct, due north of Thasos, which is the round island near Norbanus.
