Nearly all of the firsthand knowledge we have of how incredibly brilliant he was, was written by Julius Caesar.

array s But was he brilliant? Please read my earlier post for context. Reading compression et al.

[@lsesternester3231]

Radio Free Merctown You have said nothing to refute my original post. Why are you here?

[@scorchy323]

His achievements were pretty spectacular. You could make an argument that conquering the East wasn't terribly impressive because they'd already been scattered by Pompey, decades before, and you could say that his conquests in Britain and Gaul were less impressive than he made them out to be (quite likely, actually), due to Roman technological and organizational superiority relative to the forces he'd met, but the fact of the matter is he still successfully defeated one of the most accomplished and celebrated generals in Roman history, Pompey, and defeated several successive Roman armies afterward, as well. Pompey was in a better position and he was better supplied, and Caesar still won, further establishing the impressive nature of his victories. That's only to speak of his military successes, as well. His political successes were arguably as impressive.

[@juliechi6255]

@@lsesternester3231 yes he absolutely was brilliant, even if you don't like the man you can't deny his towering intellect and military capabilities. He excelled in all fields in Rome, did so much. He was so brilliant in fact that the men he pardoned felt the need to kill him

Anybody wanting to read a truly fantastic series of novels on Caesar's life and the history of Rome in the first century BCE should read Colleen McCullough's "First Man of Rome" series, which starts with describing Caesar's uncle Gaius Marius' rise to power and the subsequent history leading to the downfall of the Roman Republic. Colleen McCullough received an honorary doctorate for this series, which was so minutely researched it reads like an exciting history book, but far more vivid and interesting. There are seven thick books in the series, each one a most thrilling read and all highly recommended. 😘

Luke Osborne glad I am not the only one to think that. No “token” presenters ;)

Excellent story 👏 Tony

There’s something wrong with me because I actually thought that steak looked good.

I'm certain I heard a "Moo!" every time Tony took a bite of that steak!

That footage of the steak ruled the rest of the documentary.

[@WyattRyeSway]

Great documentary and yes, Tony seems to like his meat rare.

[@amazingstrength9794]
