Pompey's Judean Campaign (67-40 BCE)

[@zangoloid]

I always thought of you as the Historia Civilis of ancient Jewish history

[@SamAronow]

Ancient for now...

[@ilayohana3150]

Same lol

[@ilayohana3150]

His style is similar but higher quality

[@CleversonSantos]

@@ilayohana3150 What?????

[@lucassmith4524]

Ain’t it grand to be a history nerd? :-)

[@LOTLore]

YOOOOO WHEN HE SAID "think of this as a kind of crossover" AND BUSTS THE SQUARES OUT 🔥🔥 I love civillis so much.

[@CivilWarWeekByWeek]

It's squares vs circles, my mind is blown!

[@smorcrux426]

When the historia civilis music came up at the end damnn I finally got the time to binge this whole series, even though I've watched most of these videos independently when I was just interested about a specific topic, it's all so much better when it's chronological. I love how you sort of modernize lots of these topics, and look at them through a much more secular historical view, rather than a religious one. I tried (or more specifically was forced) to read some of Josephus flavius and all of those types of sources and it's certainly not easy.

[@pete5134]

"And then Judea collapsed" seems to have been a recurring theme.

[@LordScreech]

Man that reveal of Antipater's son being Herod was amazing, I had no idea Herod was a descendent of Edomites!! Such a more complex history. Thank you for your beautiful series Sam

[@RicegumNeverBrokeAgain]

Yea i was shocked by the fact that herod was the son antipater which caused the entire civil war. Herod then bribes Mark Antony and Octavian and becomes the king of Judea

[@thinkandrepent3175]

Excellent tie in with the Roman KZbin channels. After following Roman history from 200 B.C. onward I started to think about Galilee and Judaea. It's amazing how the Roman Republic was dying and in the throes of it's own civil wars, and transforming into Empire and was still being expansionist into Israel who was in a civil war and caught between Rome and Parthia. The Ancient power struggles were interesting.

[@hudson2064]

I love both historia civilli and your work and I can see the clear inspiration

[@rowtow124]

HEROD? OOOOOOOOOOO THE NEXT EPISODE'S GONNA BE GOOOOOOD

[@SamAronow]

Next *two* episodes.

[@zangoloid]

Hype hype hype

[@lochinvar50]

Antipater was an opportunist by switching side whoever has the power.

[@davidcobb2682]

*Watches a random video about Pompey* turns into a history civilas video. Life is good

[@shanemize3775]

I was wondering when Herod was going to make his appearance in this crazy story. Lol. Very interesting! Extremely well done all the way around. Please keep the outstanding videos coming and God bless you, my friend!

[@richardglady3009]

Thank you so much, I love your videos. You cover topics that aren’t covered elsewhere and do it in great depth. Wonderful video.

[@sethbartley2212]

Love the music homage at the end!

[@MrHanderson91]

Kind of funny that Pompey entered the holy of holies and never got struck by lightning. His death wasn't even that bad for the time period.

[@tartaries926]

An he entered the "holy of Holies" on his horse

[@tartaries926]

@MrFattyfatfatboy no

[@Lenner34]

Hello Mr.Aronow, been watching your videos for a while now. Great content, but even more striking music. Is it possible for you to compile a spotify/other soundtrack playlist for your Jewish history series ?

[@jaystrickland4151]

Lesson #1 Never let the Romans know you are in a civil war.

[@hashimbokhamseen7877]

[@toraparatodos]

Yasher koach. Great channel. Suscribed.

[@egillskallagrimson5879]

Cool crossover, Historia Civilis still has to do some more Pompey videos on his Mithridatic wars, your video actually offers a perspective of the events not seen before and since Historia is getting on the Principate period it would be a looong time if we ever get to see the Mithridatic wars.

[@estergrant6713]

pompei : lits over anikan i have the high ground”

[@trevor1667]

Magnus and Titus are at it again!

[@QWE2623]

no way, secret historia civilis content about the roman civil war after the end of the original series :fire: (yes i know this came out well before)

[@arielfarah8673]

Ha, loved the reggae at the end! More music!!

[@adamdavies7105]

Am I missing something here? The title seems a little odd with Pompey having died in 48 BCE

[@jaymicafella6292]

Where did you get the information on Antipater gaining the following of minorities and initially backing aristobulus? Been studying him heaps lately and have never come across this information

[@d.m.collins1501]

I feel lucky to live in an era when I can learn about this history of Judaism from your channel! But I am so confused about why the dude threw silver shekels over the wall to buy livestock. Like, the cows and sheep are outside and he's inside, so how was that ever supposed to work? Did he also drop a giant trebuchet over the wall so that they could fling the cows up to him? Or are you saying he wanted to buy the animals but also was buying room and board at a stable or pen well outside of Jerusalem, where the Naboteans couldn't get to them? I'm SO CONFUSED!

[@lexprontera8325]

Yeah, that was a WTF moment for me too.

[@genghisconn7770]

Historian Civilis outro music 🤤

[@sergemann5951]

Well done

[@lelonfurr1200]

fascinating thx

[@michalsa136]

Holy Moses! After independence from Seleucia The Judea was begging for Roman invasion, aquaduct, sanitation, education, public order, irrigation, roads and peace.

[@hugopintoabreu]

*Herod* "Hey, I know this one!"

[@omg-bh4pg]

I don't think this story is mentioned at all in the Talmud. Does anyone know differently? I will try to check in Doros Harishonim from Isaac Halevi

[@Mark_Williams300]

How do you know Marianme (hmm) had blue eyes?

[@abbiankhibokoren]

Ok why is pompey looking like Takeshi Kitano tho

[@matthewperry5121]

Awsome

[@AngerOfTheLand]

Pompey waited until the Sabbath then used a Ram against the Gates (so the jews couldn't do anything, it wasn't DIRECTLY attacking them) Genius. Once inside 1000's and 1000's were killed. I think he understood degrading an enemy for no reason only makes the hate run deeper. Pretending to respect your "one god", not stealing all there treasures is a sign he was a very good statesman and knew keeping faraway vassle states happy was a VERY smart move. He knew a good meat shield/buffer zone when he saw it. Crassus was a sociopath on the level of todays ceo's, he would have stolen the coins off his dead mothers face, hence he saw the treasure and said "f it"

[@liewcheng3111]

Pompey lost to Caesar because he profaned the Temple

[@Neonax1]

oh yes "BCE" - before Christus Era

[@AutoWorldzz]

[@theklorg305]

Judea was very feminist with their leaders. It makes it ironic some people think its not Jewish to have female Rabbi's.

[@artair70]

Eww Feminism, and No it wasn't Feminist at all.

[@heavenisatyourdoor3936]

😂🤦‍♀️🤣 wow

What about Palestine? I thought Israel was an occupier? I thought Israel didn't exist until 1947?

[@patrickrowan6001]

Bait

[@laisphinto6372]

Palestine was a Made Up Thing after Hadrian Basically nuked Judea to make a jewish revolt Impossible. The province IS called syria Palestine so IT belongs to rome Not Israel or Iran especially Not the filthy whiny peasants that call themselves palestinians

[@YosefBarlev]

So now you're discovering the truth.

[@brianhammer5107]

Ugh. The pronunciations of the names and places made me cringe. And anyone that thinks the Arabs had 50,000 men around Jerusalem is out of their minds. Graduate level courses in Roman and Israeli history is sorely needed here.

[@jaymicafella6292]

Nabataea did besiege jerusalem though

[@punchnazis3268]

Great video! I learned a lot! I too watched Historia Civilis's videos and I wondered what exactly Pompey was doing while in Jerusalem. Now I know! Ty! One thing though, may I recommend that you get rid of the rotoscope version of yourself narrating? It made it a little confusing as I thought you were one of the historical figures or a drawing of a typical Judean citizen at the time haha Just seemed a little out of place.
