You guys should run an overview on the history of Israel. Starting from the Israelite tribes of Canaan all the way through the Islamic empires and leading up into your series on the arab-israeli wars, and of course the current conflict. Of course, it's something which has been covered countless times from many perspectives. However, having watched this channel mature over the last six years, I've come to greatly appreciate your efforts in accounting for the bias of ancient sources, modern historians, and, most especially, in accounting for your own biases as professional content creators and historians.

ERRATA: At 1:22:40 the script says "Rhascupolis knew this land well, and told the triumvirs of a route around the pass." It should say that he told the *liberators* about the pass, as the animation correctly shows.

[@jozzieokes3422]

Weren't many of Caesars veterans in his legions retired at this point? My question is where many of them recalled back into service once the civil wars continued or were many of his legions filled with new recruits? Sorry for the long questions

[@Roman_History_fan]

Since it was the last video about the post Caesar civil wars, I feel like, that’s the right moment to ask you sth on Caesar: did he, as a General, intended the Gallic wars and civil war, fought personally like Alexander did or was he just at the frontline, which was nevertheless surely risky. I mean bc at Munda, Plutarch writes that Caesar said: he fought for his life… Dio says he joined the battle, so it seems like that. At Alesia Caesar writes (7,87 I believe): one part was ordered to surround the enemy and attack from the rear while the other one should follow him to help Labienus. So it seems like Caesar didn’t led his cavalry to attack from the rear, but joined Labienus. At the Sambre Caesar writes (2,25) that he grabbed a shield and went to the frontline naming every centurion by name and ordering to charge

The mind that Octavian Possessed was truly remarkable. From being hardly known in childhood to being the most powerful man in the world and the first Emperor.

[@mrhumble2937]

He learned from Caeser. Killed his political enemies. Caeser tried to turn them into friends.

[@TheWhiskyDelta]

Fun thing, Octavian is the ultimate case of using apparent success "he founded the empire" to retroactively justify his life as a serious of meticulous plans. It really helps that historians tend to blanket summarize events by attributing everything to a faction leader regardless of if they were even involved at all. Not to mention roman law also allowed him to legally take credit for the work of others. In reality a careful examination of first hand sources shows that his greatest success were mostly the result of absurdly good luck, with most of his own personal actions actually being failures. And by the time he became emperor he had dumbfounded (not actually deliberate) his way into enough competent people to actually run things for him. His main positive trait was only that he was willing to take bold action. Contrast that with Caesers assassins who mostly sat back and did nothing trying to bide their time instead of seizing the moment. Even then his bold actions repeatedly took him to the brink of disaster. He is quite possibly the luckiest figure in history. And frankly their is a popular roman saying that suggest even the common roman people recognised that he was more lucky then competent.

[@tremainetreerat5176]

Wow, he really took Lefty Gomez's mantra to heart, "It's better to be lucky than good." Which makes sense - everything I've heard about Octavian indicates that he was a huge Yankees fan.

Damn, Octavian/Augustus was truly a genius of his age and maybe, of all time. The way he attained power in Rome, maintained it, and wielded it. Truly, a master politician.

[@geordiejones5618]

It's safe to say that he was groomed by Caesar toward the end, after secretly being added to his will. He clearly left a strong impression on his uncle, enough that he basically handed him the keys to a potential empire. It's crazy that from his official adoption he spends almost 60 years holding considerable political influence. Caesar gave him a head start but he established himself in his own way eventually, with some crucial allies and probably a lot of under the table deals.

[@TheWhiskyDelta]

@@geordiejones5618 Well actually they barely spent that much time together, although Caser was looking to start training him. His family had pestered him for years to adopt him as heir because he was the only male relative left and it's more likely he adopted him due to blood ties than anything else. Taking him as heir is also likely why Decimus (Ceaser's closest confident, naval commander, and original first heir) decided to betray and assassinate ceaser. Doing a deep dive into sources showcases that frankly.. Octavian is probably more lucky than competent (there is even a popular roman saying suggesting the common man of rome understood this) and the notion that he is a genius is likely more of "looking backwards" e.g.; This is where he ended up, therefore X Y and Z must have all been mastercrafted plans and not actually just bumbling along.

Fun fact : Octavius was the one who popularized the term "republic" to designate the Roman systemas as he tryed to legitimize himself as his restorer, based on the works of Cicero (which was already based on an ancient and outdated doctrine). Before that, the Romans didn't have a name for their political system, they just called it "scenate". Giving a name to those things was a greek custom.

And about the video itself, it's amazing how Octavian, even though through some early setbacks (Cicero toying with him, and his defeat to Brutus for instance), managed to be the last man standing. Especially since after his setback against Sextus, his manipulation of public opinion and all is outstanding. From painting Antony as a fool who had forgone Rome, to his speech in the Senate giving him the title Augustus. A shame a man who does all that cannot be a moral man. And don't know why, I have always felt for Cassius. I guess him being the only positive thing in Carrhae and refusing to fight Pompeians has much to do with it.

Thanks for this video Kings and Generals. Love your Rome videos The Legions are still seen as a formidable force today, and Caesar a great general, but can you keep making WWII North African videos.
