Caesar didn't die after his "assasination" by Brutus, Cassius et al. He actually survived, then fled in a boat across the ocean to what we know as the New World where he opened a casino and a successful tomato-and-cheese-on-panem franchise.

[@cam5816]

I actually already knew this. I saw it on the History channel 😊

[@TheBandit025Nova]

Wait I thought it was Augustus who went to the new world and open Cesar’s Palace

[@bigploppa154]

You are incorrect. The tomato cheese on panem was an invention by his illegitimate son, also known as “Little Caesar”

[@joshuawells835]

Important Note - In the Roman Republic, a dictator was more of a "Break Glass In Case of Emergency" position and didn't have the negative connotation it has today. Also, the average term for a Roman dictator was 6 months. Famously, Cincinnatus returned his power after 13 days, being the model dictator.

[@DrawnofHistory]

I fully intended on getting into what a Roman dictator was... and then the video was already 20 minutes. Next time.

To make it even weirder, Roman Emperor tends to be more fluid…as in “some bozo with an army can become one” (see Third Century Crisis and even Byzantine had peasants like Basil and Romanos becoming one).

​@@powerist209Bozos who raised themselves from the mud and pig crap of peasantry to the most powerful people in the world. Even Ancient China with their strict rules of hierarchy and ascension with the mandate of heaven had peasant emperors. Like their greatest emperor ever Liu Bang.

I'm a woman and I also have no idea what actually happens at women's parties. Alas, your female audience consists of history nerds who weren't invited to parties other than birthday parties because we tend to talk about history too much. My only guess about those parties is that they DON'T want to discuss wars, dictators, and whether or not there was a breeding population of Giraffes for food on the Ancient Roman peninsula.

8:46 - _"And then Caesar's beloved Cornelia died. Caesar mounted the Rostra of the Forum and gave a simple, yet profound eulogy."_ 🎵Apple bottom jeans. Boots with the fur🎵 This absolutely killed me.

[@KahavaveCAPIPI]

The reason that soldiers tended to be more loyal to their generals wasn't because they were allowed to join while poor. It was because the Senate refused to pay beyond the bare minimum, so the onus on making sure the soldiers got more than a glorified laborers wage was on the general.

For all of Ceaser's scheming and brilliance, for some reason, he held an incredibly naive belief in The Power of Friendship. He dropped the ball when he tried to turn his life into a Shonen Anime.

[@lornbaker1083]

It reminds me of a Saying from war hammer forty k. " The emperor protects our souls, but having a loaded gun does help put one's mind at ease" If only caesar had the foresight to go armed. Maybe he would have survived. Then again they probably Paid off the pretorians to allow them to get away with it. Rome was so corrupt.

[@johnmcauliffe8824]

I want to note that bibilus as consul also had the power to cancel senate meetings if he felt that there were "bad omens". He used this authority every time the senate was due to meet, however everyone ignored it because Julius Caesar, who was Rome's chief priest, said it would be ok. Bibilus wasnt really seen in office until he was due to give his final farewell speech, given when one's term as counsul had ended, and when he was about to speak his speech was vetoed by a tribune of the plebs so he was stripped of basically all dignity at that point.

[@cmasterson]

[@carterghill]

For the record, the bit about Caesar and the king of Bythinia is almost certainly anti-Caesarian political propaganda. They depicted him as the submissive partner both because that's the part that was frowned upon in Rome, and also to show put across the idea that he would be submissive to foreign kings. That said, the apple bottom jeans eulogy bit is spot on and tends to be left out in most accounts. Thanks for that attention to detail!
