[@SuperTuhla]

Is it just for the US?

[@thudar9]

It's my opinion of course. Theres something in the smirk of the tusculum portrait that tells me Julius Caesar was no tyrant. Unlike Crassus, Julius Caesar refused to decimate his men after the defeat at the battle of Gergovia. His commentaries made him a folk hero to ordinary Romans.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

“In an insane, almost idiotic show of boldness.” I have never felt more seen 😂

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

We appreciate you always being here for us Roy. ❤ I look for your comments.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

@@RoyaltyNowStudios That’s so kind thank you

[@practicaldreamyr]

I've never clicked on a new video quicker! Love love love all your work, your reconstructions are always amazing and to see them "smiling" always brings a tear to my eye 💕

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you so much, and thank you for watching!

[@margaretcook-ellis4941]

The smile always makes me teary as well 😊

[@TeamCat1128]

Same!!

[@chalkiememe4183]

Absolutely agree with you, this is such a lovely site and so different from others who all copy someone else who is successful. I love this channel.😊

[@PC-Phobic-Jean-Rene]

Yes indeed, seeing long-dead souls, smiling, is indeed moving. And in the resurrection, we really will see their smiling faces, hopefully, with the light of God shining through them. ☀

He looks like my dad when he was young and it’s freaking me out

Oh wow! 😮 very distant relation perhaps? 🤔 😅

My dad too, he also he had the Superman curl haha

can i have his number ?

[@Janice-f7z6d]

My Father as Well 💯% Funny ! I Always thought about This... lol 😂

[@Knards]

Superb history lesson. I had no idea his life was like that. Caesar was indeed a handsome man

[@KurlyKy]

Impeccable, as always! You’ve done Cleopatra, Julius Caesar…all we need is Marc Anthony to complete the Troubled Triad. 😬 Such an admirer of your work. Thanks for sharing your talent with us! 🙂

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you! We are hopefully doing Marc Anthony very soon, and possible a revised cleopatra with history as well.

[@KurlyKy]

Amazing! I can’t wait! 😁

[@witchhazel4135]

​@@RoyaltyNowStudiosMarc Antony rather than Anthony, righ?

[@mr.snulch]

Caesar has such a distinctly Italian look to him, and I love the way you depict him as always! I'm certain it feels like I'm looking at Julius Caesar, and doubt you got anything wrong!

[@ljp400]

so in other words julius caesar looked like gigachad. chiselled jawline, locked in 24/7

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Honestly, yeah? He was a known womanizer in his youth. He even seduced Crassus' wife! For some reason or another Crassus didn't seem to care.

[@DeadBeatDex]

​@@RoyaltyNowStudios Throughout history and even to today, it was common to see men in high positions care more about their power and influence than their own personal relationships. He probably saw her relationship with Caesar as beneficial since it made them "connected" in more ways than one.

[@riikkaalanen3429]

😆😆😆 That’s probably why a lot of his peers couldn’t stand him (although he appeared to have a sense of humor and was generally considered quite congenial company - for example, Cicero “almost wished” Caesar was still alive after his experiences with the politicians that came into power after Caesar’s assassination…

[@skinnymanatee4621]

I started watching your videos yesterday and they are absolutely fantastic. As a history major I often find that historical figures are not talked about like they were humans too, people that laughed, cried, and loved just like us. Your videos are the best example I have ever found in regards to humanizing these historical figures. You don't just talk about their achievements you go in depth with how they lived their lives. Please keep up the get work!

[@mollyjayhedgehog6276]

Thank you for making history much more enjoyable to watch and simple to understand the way you bring them to life is absolutely gorgeous and amazing keep up the wonderful work lots of love from Australia

[@robertr7530]

This brief history of Julius Caesar leaves out a great deal, especially his brilliant military campaigns in what is now Spain and France. He is one of the most astonishing men that Rome ever produced, as well as his nephew, Augustus.

[@Nicktrippy]

Not as cool as Sulla tho

[@roodbennett]

Absolutely correct. Caesar is one of the most nuanced rulers in history. He was truly the architect of The Roman Empire.

[@matildaborney1683]

I’ve always wanted to suggest a recreation of Augustus daughter Julia! I’d love to hear her story from you 💕

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I believe the Roman pipeline may be fully underway :)

[@Euniseuu]

@@RoyaltyNowStudios Yes pleaseeeee

[@erniegutierrez2288]

Wow! He is truly stunning! Add to that his boldness & charisma. His early career shows his political genius. As someone who thinks about Roman Empire everyday, I must say this is an excellent video!!! :) Fun Fact: We use the solar calendar, instead of a lunar one, thanks to Caesar. "Like"

[@StacieMMeier]

1:58 TY for pronouncing his name correctly and historically correct. By doing this you have proven you did much research. For that TY.

[@PokhrajRoy.]

Can’t wait for Part 2!

[@kstormgeistgem461]

his facial bone structure reminds me of that of Abraham Lincoln's. that same formation of incredibly high strong cheek bones with the deep, piercing eye sockets. very handsome but kind of startling at the same time. nicely done as usual.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I think I love both of them.

[@alanatolstad4824]

16:50 I've seen the original of that painting in the Getty Museum, and it's huge! I loved it so much that I bought the postcard in the gift shop, & surprisingly, won an auction of the print, framed under glass, that is 4ft tall! I'm so happy to see that shown here!---Wow, the recreation totally makes sense, even as it surprised me!

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I tried to so hard to encapsulate how amazing this painting was but I just didn't make myself enough time -- Andre, Editor

[@explore_KLEIO]

Incredible! The storytelling is always so engrossing.

[@kigekica1937]

What's amazing to me, is when you make them smile... I don't think any of us think of them as humans like any other, with their own dreams and hopes. Of course, we know they were like any of us, but I don't think we ever imagine them smiling and laughing, being carefree and looking forward to the future, as any other young human being. That's what struck me the most when you did Anne Boleyn, and thank you for these incredible reconstructions ❤

[@ICXCTSARSLAVY]

He definitely would pass for a man from the northern Italy/France border region today.

[@karenrussell8704]

He reminds me of President Macron of France.

[@giorgiodifrancesco4590]

He seems a normal central Italian. There are many Southerner like him too. You are a little biased. The long skull it's classical of the South.

[@wiseonwords]

What a well-written script and masterful storytelling! One of the best accounts of Caesar's life that I've seen on KZbin.

[@Anita-rq9ev]

Your videos and narration are top notch and always fascinating. Love your reconstructions, they are stunning. Thank you 👍

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you!

[@mcanultymichelle]

What amazing work that you do

[@saraharellano9399]

Absolutely brilliant! What a life that guy had so far. Whew 😅 Can't wait for part 2. He looks very familiar but I can't figure out who he looks like.🤔

Oh today we eat well! Watching my back every few minutes while watching this.

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

Thank you!!

[@EmMiller-wu3dy]

Bravo! A skilled artist and a great narrator.

[@ArmenianBishop]

Not every time, but I got a gut feeling that this facial reconstruction of Julius is very accurate. Sometimes, gut feelings are right.

[@fredo1070]

Modern Caesar does look like an Italian politician.

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Agreed

[@naninickynino]

Very much so….

[@RoyaltyNowStudios]

I'll count that as a success. 😅

[@theSheighani42]

I thought he looked like a Mafia boss... 😅

Thank you for blessing us with your amazing talent and artistic facial reconstructions, it really makes the difference bridging the gap between historical and contemporary come together to make history come alive you are A TREASURE, humbly grateful for you my dear.

[@Knsoms]

Caesar is my favorite historical person/hero. It’s awesome to see this reconstruction!

[@Kededian]

I absolutly love your video's and reconstructions. Well done!

[@monmothma3358]

Very interesting! So often it's Caesars foreign conquests and his death that is focused on. I had no idea about a lot of these events from his youth. Some might remember HBO's great show "Rome", but even that started when Caesar was middle-aged, and I couldn't quite get behind the actor who played him. That was my one issue with the show, which is why it's great to see a younger and more realistic portrait, hinting towards the charisma he must have actually had.

[@quackaholicsanonymous7210]

I accidentally discovered these videos when rewatching the Tudors series. I am totally fascinated by these recreations and attention to detail. While it is sad that we will never fully know what these figures looked like, it is simply amazing to see the work done here that brings them closer to life than I would have ever thought possible. Subscribed.

[@60asteroid]

Timothy Dalton was PERFECT to portray him! Gonna rewatch "Cleopatra" on Tubi just for this. Thank you for your research and skill

[@jessicanippes1730]

Thanks you, RNS ❤ Your work never dissapoint 😊 What a man he was...

[@micheleparadis2808]

You're one of my favorite subscription. Loved it.

[@calico27]

I absolutely and thoroughly enjoyed the narration in this video. And your recreations of Caesar in modern times - is one of the best, so far! I really felt the piercing eyes and easily handsome face, despite the unusual head shape. As always, beautiful work, through and through!!

[@CPAndy-x5x]

24:18 is my favorite bust. So real looking, love the slight head tilt.

I absolutely love your work, I think I've watched every video multiple times by now. Becca's voice is so lovely and soothing, I love putting up these videos in the background while I craft. A famous historical figure I would still love to see: Marie de Medici (mother of Louis 13 of France), and Anna of Austria (wife of Louis 13)

[@lindarenwick5079]

Always love learning more and of course, seeing the recreations! He was definitely handsome!

Such perfect timing, I'm rewatching Rome now! His ascent is so interesting, thank you for these wonderful videos :)

[@glorianelson9538]

Incredibly handsome but there's something scary about his eyes. In the last picture, he looks like someone who most likely shouldn't be trusted. Great work as always! Thank you

Yep his eyes give mob boss.

[@marcocatano554]

Hi, I love your work. Here's a challenge or, better said, a humble suggestion. Do a take on Pakal the great. It would be not only an interesting project on a different continent and culture, it would also be a departure from Mediterranean-European subjects. Anyhow keep up the great work!
