You make history come alive for my grandsons! In fact, the 17-year-old told me that he'd like to major in ancient history and specialize in Roman history. YOU were instrumental in his taking Latin in high school. Thank you.

On our last trip to Rome we stayed at Velabrum Gardens it was the perfect spot, wedged between the Forum, Palatine and Capitoline Hills, to explore the ancient Roman areas of Rome. I had no idea this area was part of the historic route of Caesars final fateful walk. This is one of the reasons why I subscribed to your channel, you are there on the ground everyday. Thanks again Darius!

My wife and I stayed briefly last June before our cruise. We did a whirlwind tour through the Forum Romanum and a stroll through the neighbourhood around our hotel, near the Spanish steps on the evening of first day. The next day we made time to walk to the Trevi Fountain and the Pantheon, before we had to hop our taxi to the cruise ship at Civitavecchia. I'm a big Roman history fan, and needless to say this was not enough for me. I like to say that if time permits, I'd love to have personal tour through Rome and share our love of history, if you do that kind of thing. Kind of a bucket list item. Anyway, thanks for this, and all your great videos Darius.

Fabulous video. If I'm correct, at time code 9:10 the Tarpeian Rock is visible at the top right(ish). Criminals were executed by being thrown from this rock. It wasn't high enough to guarantee quick death. Often, the injuries were fatal but took some time.

I certainly will reach out for you. Fantastic clip walking were Ceasar walked one last time. Certainly this changed history. Ceasar planned to fight the Parthians to get the lost eagles back. Octavian had a smarter approach. The theater of Pompey was huge…..i find it fascinating that the houses are built in the same round fashion, were the theater stood!

Nella copertina del bel video è riprodotto il quadro di Vincenzo Camuccini ( la morte di Cesare) che si trova al Museo di Capodimonte a Napoli. In questo quadro si vede Bruto che pugnala Cesare volgendo lo sguardo da un'altra parte, non riuscendo a sostenere lo sguardo del "padre". (Kai sou teknon). Del quadro del Camuccini esiste il bozzetto alla Galleria Nazionale di arte moderna e contemporanea di Roma.

Very disappointing. Augustus place a block over the site where Ceasar was stabbed, so no one could stand there again. Supposedly, this block was identified a few years ago. Why aren't you showing us that??

A long time ago, I was studying in Rome and one of my professors took me and my fellow students to Largo Argentina and on that corner she told us that on or near that on that spot, Julius Caesar was murdered.

Being Pontifex Maximus was a very powerful position. Nobody else was able to shut down the senate at will by claiming a bad omen. This way Julius Cesar was able to force his laws through the oligarch assembly. They didn't take this lightly...

It appears to have been easy to assassinate Caesar, was that because he didn't have any bodyguards? Was that why Augustus created the Praetorian Guard? To avoid a similar fate.
