Shaka banned the growth of wheat and his family killed him because of it, also it was common for Romans to enslave the soldiers in armies they had beaten

More relevant is how Rome, similar to say, Genghis Khan later, would allow a region to keep it's identity in large part as long as they pay a tax.(think how Hitler wanted to remove all the Slavs and replace them with "Arians", Rome was fine with leaving populations alone). Think of those religious guys mentioned in the bible, they were allowed to keep their religious power and such in today's Israel, instead of completely decimating them and replacing them with Roman temples. So "grow my wheat" is just a case of "pay your taxes to me". Italy always had a breadbasket. Initially this was Sicily. Later it was most of Northern Africa(especially Egypt for obvious reasons, 2 harvest per year is broken, please nerf).

Plus the follow up “Doc J dunk on you like boom shakalaka” First of all, it’s a great turn on Shaka’s name. But Doc J is a reference to Julius Irving who’s nickname was Dr J, known for his slam dunks. The “boom shakalaka” comes from NBA Jam - when you had a slam dunk in that game, the announcer would say “Boom shakalaka”. It’s a pretty ingenious two lines.

"Knock off his dome, wrap it up in his own banner, send it back to Rome with a message from the Zulu" is a reference to Pompey (one of Caesar's biggest rivals) being decapitated by the Egyptians in the city of Alexandria. Pompey's head was wrapped up in his army's banner and sent to Caesar. This was meant to be a gesture of Egypt's loyalty to Caesar (Egypt was lead by Cleopatra at this time), but Caesar was horrified by this. Despite being his fierce rival, Pompey was one of Caesar's closest friends and allies before he joined the conservative faction. It was said that Caesar fell to his knees and wept at the sight of Pompey's head.

I don't think it's a reference to Pompey, but actually to the Battle of Teutoburg Forest, where three roman legions went in, led by Roman General Varus and were soundly and totally defeated. The general's head was sent back to Rome wrapped in his legion's banner. It was one of the worst defeats the Roman Empire ever faced and is largely responsible for the Romans basically staying out of Germania afterwards.

The wheat line at the end has a great double meaning. Under Julius Caesar and most of the leaders to come later, defeating armies were given the option of giving Tribute, usually the local grain and able bodied men to be soldiers. Those who chose to, which was almost all of them, were allowed to keep their cultural identity and religions. Shaka ka Senzangakhona, First Emperor of the Zulu, was killed by his brothers due to him going a bit bonkers after his mom died. To punish the country for not grieving hard enough he banned the growing of wheat and other things.

It is worth watching an hour documentary or two on Caeser. He had a very interesting history to check out. He mentions something about asking his kidnappers if he talks shit. That is because at one point he was taken by pirates for ransom. He told them once he was free he would be back to hunt them down to kill them. So he raised the army he needed and captured them all and had them crucified. But since they treated him so well while in captivity he had them stabbed right at the start so they would die right away and not struggle on cross for a couple days. He is the one that ended up finally arranging the Roman calendar because there was a weird system in place before that. With only 10 months in a year they had a council add a day or 2 or 20 in spots in order to make the older calendar work. So out of world leaders I would put him towards top of list of people who are worth watching a show about.

I've always wondered why they had these two go against each other honestly; Caesar (especially from an ERB sort of standpoint) basically pulled a Stalin "see the soul of a man who made mother Russia his bitch;" he became the singular leader of one of the largest empires in history through military accomplishments and populace support, whereas Shaka became leader of the Zulu by being HANDED a contingent of warriors to stage a coup, where he killed his younger half brother. Both expanded their influence (and/or lands), but Caesar did it almost EXCLUSIVELY through combat whereas Shaka was much more of a diplomat (by preference anyway; he'd still ruin someone in a fight usually). Just always has seemed to me to be a very odd match-up; Caesar had SO much more material to use

Actually, when Shaka says Caesar died stabbed many times by his friends, it wasn't only Brutus. Caesar was stabbed by over 20 different guys at once. Brutus was probably the most famous of them, especially being one of Caesar's adoptive sons, hence his final words being "Et tu, Bruto" (You too, Brutus?).

There's actually a theory that Brutus was Caesar's son, or at least Caesar was a father figure. Probably because Caesar's famous last words "Et tu, Brutus"(You too, Brutus) can also be traslated as "Et tu, my child," or something along those lines. Which can add another similarity in their deaths. Where as Shaka was killed by his half brothers, Caesar may have been killed by his son, illegitimate or not. It's an interesting theory, and seeing as how Caesar was, off memory, the first person to have his likeness embedded onto a common currency, I wouldn't be surprised if he also got around with some women. Plus, I believe Romans allowed concubines at the time? It's a possibility, as all great theories should be, basically.

In rare cases to honor'ish (theirs religious and spiritual beliefs involved) the best warrior of the losing side would be feasted upon. The rest of the tribe would be essentially chattle or tortured and killed. Soooooooooooo props for ceaser respecting a culture of those times.

While Ceasar could've made a reference to Brutus, I think when he says "brute" it's just the standard way, meaning that Shaka Zulu didn't have a "modern" education (Something only a few empires really had at the time), as well as that the tribes had less technology. Otherwise he probably would've actually said Brutus in the line. Too bad Gengis Khan was already in a battle, as both him and Shaka were known for unifying tribes and generally kicking ass.

This should be in schools may be a bit refined for the school curriculum, but it would be a modern way to teach history we're more children would learn, as well as remember history not to mention more fun.

I took a point away from Shaka again for the Chicken Caesar bar. I get why they did it, but Caesar was no coward, he always fought alongside his soldiers in his campaigns.

Roman developed similar tactics to the what Shaka did. Shaka shorten the spears to make them more effective in close combat. The Romans did the same thing with swords they developed in Spain glads what the name of sword in Latin. That is how they defeated the Greeks by getting in close to the Greeks lines of long spears.

Roman nobility and retired soldiers owned the farmlands. They were mostly tended to by slaves lead by freemen. Wheat fed the empire.

Yes. A lot of people think Zulu got him with the stabbed by friends line, but I think getting stabbed by family is way worse. xD But yeah, Ceasar decimated from the start. Like...he overkilled. He overkilled so hard that nothing of Zulu was left but ashes. xD

Julius was actually killed by members of the Democratic Party since Julius wanted to be the emperor but Brutus did not like that so he and a group of his friends killed him to try to preserve the republic but the plan did not work since Julius nephew Augustus became the first emperor
