Best.. Better than audible!!!!

[@WilliamLawrence7]

This is really well done, I like the pictures and maps showing what they are talking about, this is really good stuff! Thank you for sharing! EDIT: Yep, after days of searching around, you're versions are the best due to the maps and pictures of the region's troops and items he's talking about. Please bring these masterpieces back, please give us more English translations of the Commentaries. I pled upon your mercy, good Sir...

[@nervosadustbolt9642]

This shit was awesome.. Thank you! Caesar was Phenomenal.

Here's an English audio version of Book 1, with Latin subtitles.

It sounds like it's being read by Sideshow Bob. I love it.

[@csabaschmitthoffer6421]

The fact that this was written more than 2000 years ago and we can listen to this is mind blowing.

[@kyndjal3118]

how many people may have given their own lives to save books such as this from the fires of ignorance and censorship....?

[@DarthFhenix55]

​@@kyndjal3118I mean, tbf this book is written from the perspective of Caesar so it obviously has a bias, which is as bad as censorship if you take it seriously.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

​@@kyndjal3118 LOL - This platform is the definition of censorship.

@@yomommaahotoo264 did i say otherwise?

[@kyndjal3118]

@@DarthFhenix55 i don't see bias as bad as censorship;because EVERYONE has bias,no matter how much we try to deny it.i hate the Roman Empire;what they did,what they represented to my ancestors.i could reject everything written or made by them.and yet,wisdom is universal.should i shun wisdom from hardened Men forged by experience and travel,just because they're Roman? let's make it more interesting and really challenging;trying see and hear the defeated side of the story of WII without bias born of a 80 + year PR international apparatus breathing down your neck....

[@painterpeter1]

Absolutely wonderful. I’ve been to many places and areas you are reading about. To walk roads , bridges and crossed some of the rivers. Most in Well done sir thank you for putting in the time and energy .

[@ibnbattuta1304]

Excellent! This is read in the third person, the way Caesar wrote it! Thanks for uploading this!

[@ccole5386]

The work it must have taken to find and input all the accompanying images is appreciated. Excellent job, this is really great.

[@mustertherohirrim7315]

Its like 1 map they are zooming in and out of.!

[@wistonramos4234]

Amazing voice, it's like Ceasar himself it's reading this.

[@samright4661]

Glad that Cesar wrote all this down.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

He no doubt 'dictated' this too.

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Thanks!

[@BondiJames]

Haha sorry if the joke was too crude, I genuinely love listening to your recitations in both English and Latin. It really does sound as though it is the voice of Caesar himself.

[@amb4dmb]

This is great. Really really. It It so

[@mel577]

Thanks for the video. I didn't realize you had these videos in actual Latin. Question: where are you from and how did you learn Latin?

[@ThePrinceSterling]

Originally, I'm from Oklahoma, USA. I took a couple years of Latin in college, didn't do much with it for several years, and then came back to it maybe eight years ago.

[@mel577]

Very impressed by your pronunciation. I'm a native Castellano speaker, and took several curses in Latin throughout primary and high school. Your accent is even quite natural too.

[@ThePrinceSterling]

My abilities have certainly improved with experience.

[@thirtyseconds2589]

In the spanish says "Corn" instead of "grain or grano/s"

[@jplb96]

Faced barbarians and The Courier. Caesar had an amazing life.

[@LOTLore]

this is what I needed, the first two videos were a girl wirh a shaky voice reading. This is a man's man with a booming voice right here. "and merchants least frequently resort to them and import thise things which tend to feminate the mind." 🔥

[@Insectoid_]

A man's man lol. Who are you? Sammy Gravano? 🐀

[@LOTLore]

while I agree this 2 year old comment of mine is worded poorly, I don’t see how the rat comment fits here

[@dr.lexwinter8604]

LOL, that was some record high speed censorship there ThePrinceSterling. Assuming it was you and not KZbin.

[@darthonia]

Man it's unusual to hear you speak English haha Still awesome though!

I freakin love Caesar, we need him back to save us from Biden and NATO

[@twonumber22]

Lmao

[@UAPReportingCenter]

Wow. May I ask what country you come from?

[@notloki3377]

Be careful what you wish for, my friend.

[@FrankLucas-pw5hs]

A Caesar would be a blessing nowadays. The modern NWO is ten times more corrupt and greedy than the Roman republic was when Caeser overthrew them. The problem is, that no politician could reach the level that Caeser reached without doing some dark stuff on camera - which would turn the masses against them, should they ever turn on the corrupt oligarchs.

[@yomommaahotoo264]

LOL - Typical government worshipper.

I can't find the rest of the books, only book 1.

[@ThePrinceSterling]

I did all of the Gallic War books in Latin but have only gotten around to doing Book 1 in English. Since this video is getting a reasonable number of views, I'll probably do the other books in English as well.

[@chrisdfx1]

@@ThePrinceSterling That would be awesome. You have a perfect voice for narration, there are other channels that have all the books in English, but I can't stand the narrators voice.

[@chrisdfx1]

@@ThePrinceSterling If you hopefully decide to do it, will you do the books on the Civil War too?

[@chrisdfx1]

@@ThePrinceSterling Last comment I promise, if you have a Patreon account, etc, I'll be more than happy to help support you on this. Just let me know.

Thanks for the offer, but that won't be necessary. I'll get around to them soon enough. The Civil War too.

[@bashkillszombies]

So much vocal fry. :( I hate when people try to deepen their voice that way. It sounds daft.

[@luciano9755]

Yup, it's really distracting.

[@wardencobb7442]

Do not forget this is a work of propaganda, a biased accounting of history which is largely unrefuted by Caesars contemporaries because his contemporaries either did not record the events or cited Caesars own commentaries on the Gallic wars themselves. Also, if any other records were kept, they're either undiscovered or lost to time... Caesar wrote the history he wanted you to read -this is a man with intent and ambition. When Caesar talks of numbers of soldiers, his enemies especially; take that with a very large spoonful of salt. He did face massive forces, the largest Gaul had ever raised -but there's more than a little embellishment most of the time.
