Anthony never getting the job done but getting away with it and Octavian pulling out all the ballsy moves. A precedent set for the following decade to come

@@plzburnme3809 that's what Agrippa was for.

[@ian6796]

He got the job done at Philippi, while Octavian was hiding in the marshes.

[@TheWhiskyDelta]

Octavian spent all of these battles sitting back in a tent. He was well known for his distaste in military matters and it was something his troops often made fun of (hiding away in a tent while everyone else fought). He basically just lucked out in the consuls dyeing. And later in surviving numerous events to luck Octavian was willing to take bold actions, but overwhelmingly depended on others to actually succeed, e.g. his first attempt to seize roam was idiotic at best while his second attempt depended on dumb luck granting him a large army. This general trend would mostly continue for the rest of his life, with his ultimate success depending on genius' like Agrippa coupled with insane luck more than anything. Honestly I often feel like Agrippa must have been the gods being "we are tired of having to constantly intervene so we are just going to give you Mars incarnate"....

Octavian gets a lot of shit for his hands off approach to fighting battles, to put it mildly, but these events prove him to be just as brave as he was cunning, not very different from his father

[@JC-mx9su]

HistoryMarche can you make more video on Julius Caesar's Civil War such as: Battle of Ilerda and the Siege of Masilia Battle of Utica and Battle of the Bagradas Siege of Alexandria and Battle of the Nile These battles you haven't upload on Caesar's Civil War.

[@awesomehpt8938]

I don’t believe Octavian would have been anywhere near the front lines at Mutina. The man preferred to delegate warfare to his lieutenants like Agrippa. That bit about him carrying the eagle sounds like propaganda.

[@MDP1702]

Maybe, then again he was young and might have had to win the trust of the legionairs still. This is something we'll never be able to be sure about. Ofcourse even if there is a grain of truth, it likely is embellished nevertheless.

[@napoleon7107]

I Was thinking the same thing. Octavian was renowned for being something of a weakling and a book worm. A brilliant tactician and politician. Intelligent and quick of mind but no soldier and he knew it . Even tough He didn’t lack in bravery he would never risk his life doing actual fighting. This is clearly propaganda instigated by Octavian himself

[@percy2685]

We saw how dangerous it was to lead his troops as a soldier. Because if you die your army will lose moral and break.

[@eldorados_lost_searcher]

@@MDP1702 Kind of like Napoleon storming the bridge, when he was actually directing from a berm a little back from the bridge? Still exposed, but not in the thick of it.

[@MDP1702]

@@eldorados_lost_searcher Possibly yeah. We shouldn't forget that Octavian likely had a strong bodyguard of very experienced troops, it isn't impossible he was in the thick of the fight, while being sceened from the enemies by his guards. Giving the appearance he was fighting without actually having to fight someone. This would also give more possible credence to him having held the standard for some time, if he didn't need to fight, he had his hands free to hold it.

[@JawsOfHistory]

I like that despite the fact that M. Antonius got his ass handed to him twice in the space of a week. He spent the rest of his life needling Caesar Octavianus about his lack of bravery in the fighting.

[@aleksapetrovic6519]

That's because he was right. Octavian hated warfare and was bad in it. He never loved marches, camp life and he lacked bravery on the battlefield. Mark Antony was the very opposite of that and he loved everything mentioned above. However, Octavian was smart and wise and knew what he was good at and what he wasn't. He allowed his Generals to do their job commanding the army and he did his job of strategizing, administering and using propaganda like a God. When you see Octavian marching, you actually see his Generals like Agrippa who was commanding the Octavian's army.

[@kharnthebetrayer8251]

Plus, Anthony may have lost twice, but it wasnt through lack of bravery. He commanded well, and withdrew in good order the 2nd time because he didnt have enough numbers. Octavian was a sickly nerd in his childhood, and never became a soldier. While Ceasers assassins specifically distracted Anthony so he couldnt defend Ceaser cuz he was a notable fighter. Octavian was a genius like his adoptive Father. But he wasnt a fighter and he knew it, so he lead from the rear. A smart move for him, since he could command better from there. But something viewed as cowardly by other Roman's who valued leading from the front

[@qwyn9980]

There needs to be better communication between the script writer/narrator and the video editor. Decimus Brutus' troops were besieged by Marc Antony. It thus makes NO sense whatsoever to have them come out of the city looking the same color as Antony's troops (Red) and have them attack the relieving forces of Hirtius (Blue) when according to the narrator they were going for Antony's Camp. (Note that the Legion's flag over the town is in the right Blue color to begin with...) It's not the first time I've seen a disconnect between narration and visuals. Other than that keep up the great work, one of my favorite channels on KZbin by far!

[@hocestbellumchannel]

Well, the scriptwriter, video editor, graphics designer is primarily me (one person). What you point out was a silly mistake that I've made during the animation process, which I've failed to catch in the post-processing. I actually wanted to use these two colliding units for another instance, I accidentally used them for the sortie...
