In this Epic Moments of Roman History Documentary we examine the amazing life of Julius Caesar. We begin with his upbringing during the end of the Roman Republic and the dictator Sulla who forced young Julius Caesar to flee for his life from the proscriptions. Caesar then joins the Roman army to fight in the Mithridatic Wars before returning to Rome to take up his political career. During this time he travels to asia for studies but is intercepted by pirates. Julius Caesar then survives several weeks of captivity, returning to crucify his captors as he had promised. After this harrowing event, Julius Caesar begins his advance up the cursus honorum. Eventually he enters into an alliance with Pompey and Crassus to form the First Triumvirate. Caesar then becomes Consul in 59 BC and heads off to Gaul the following year.
Julius Caesar now begins one of the most famous chapters of Ancient History by leading the Roman Army in the Gallic Wars. Culminating in the siege of Alesia, the roman general returns home a victor. However much of the senate is opposed to his return which leads to Caesar crossing the Rubicon under arms and starting the Roman civil war. The rest of our documentary on Julius Caesar then follows the major events of this conflict including the battle of Dyrrhachium, the battle of Pharsalus, the battle of Alexandria, the Battle of Thapsus, and the Battle of Munda among many others.
Finally, we conclude the 9 lives of Julius Caesar with his death on the ides of march before the senate. We hope you enjoyed this educational history documentary on Julius Caesar and the Epic Moments in History. For more detailed videos on his career and the Roman Republic I highly recommend Historia Civilis on KZbin.

The destruction of catapults can't be compared to those of modern artillery. Siege weapons back in the day would at most knock out defensive elements of a wall. It wouldn't take them down entirely, so it still in effect serving the purpose of keeping the attackers out. Modern artillery would demolish even the most powerful walls well within a few days at most. That's why castles and fortifications were so prominent prior to WW1.

It was so they would treat him well. He was more valuable than 10 "normal" hostages so he was fed well and protected from harm. It was also to drive home the fact that his family was wealthy enough to have them hunted down and killed if they didn't keep their end of the bargain....and when he was released, he promptly returned with an army and showed them he wasn't bluffing. When Ceaser said "raise it to 50 talons" and his family accepted the offer that was the modern day equivalent of "My Dad is a Mafia Boss"....they should have begged for his forgiveness and put him on the first boat to Rome and run for their lives.

If there were ever guides on how to make documentaries - this would be it. This was incredibly well done.

I think its amazing how these ancient armies could put up works in a matter of hours and on such huge scales.
