10 Interesting Facts about Julius Caesar

[@justinian-the-great]

A very interesting video and a great topic. Although, there should be just a slight adjustment to a misconception about cats. Not for Caesar, but for Napoleon, since it wasn't the NAPOLEON Napoleon, you know the first and great one, but actually Napoleon III, former Napoleon's nephew and also Emperor of France, that was afraid of cats. That's a common misconception, since the two guys were the same name. Napoleon I however, on the other hand, didn't really like dogs and there are many funny stories about him in "dogs situations", like for example when, during his first wedding night with Josephine, when they came to bed, they found her Labrador retriever lying in it, which prompted Napoleon to try to remove him from the bed, which then ended with him getting bitten in the ass.

[@ultra-papasmurf]

Pompey intended to not only have caesar executed but also planned a massive purge of both caesars allies but likely the enter populares faction post war. Caesar was on the outside of Sullas dictatorship and purge, he had been traumatised by it Pompey was in its upper echelons and saw it as more then just a guideline but a necessary step (which given caesars fate is likely right). Caesar winning was by far the best situation for the senate being alive-wise if not power-wise and he got killed for it.

[@titisuteu]

​@@ultra-papasmurfYou are absolutely right! There are too many people who whine the oligarchic late republic was dismantled. It was just a coterie of the optimates and Cato with his intransigence brought it down. If Caesar could have gotten immunity from prosecution there would have been no civil war. And Cato was biased towards the intimates, he did not prosecute optimates who committed extrajudicial killings after Sulla's death, like Pompey murdering Brutus' father or even supported the killing of Catilina's supporters without a trial during Cicero's consulship. How he managed to pose as a paragon of virtue even 1900 years after his death is beyond me. He was a scoundrel and I feel like vomiting whenever I think about him.

Whatever else you think of him, Caesar certainly made his mark. He is even now, more famous than just about any of the Emperors who followed in his wake and his influence can still be felt on society today (like how the modern Gregorian calendar is an update to the Julian calendar he devised). To this day, we still go through the month of July every year, a month named for him as part of his new calendar. Considering he died over 40 years before Jesus' birth reset the year to zero, Julius Caesar is literally older than our current year count and we're still talking about him today.

[@N0TYALC]

2,000 years after Caesar’s lifetime, a bloody war broke out. The bloodiest war in human history up to that point, in fact. We call it World War 1 today. The two largest land powers in that war were Imperial Germany (ruled by a Kaiser), and Imperial Russia (ruled by a Czar). Both titles are based on Caesar’s name, and both ruled over a landmass that Rome never did. Imagine it’s year 4,000 AD, and a war breaks out between two planets colonized by humans. Now imagine both planets are ruled by someone whose title is simply a different way to say your last name. That level of influence and notoriety is fucking mind boggling.

Given his lifelong poor health, it's amazing Augustus lived as long as he did; passing away just a few weeks shy of his 76th birthday. Conversely, Marcus Agrippa, who was known for being of far more robust health, was just 52 when he died. Looking at Augustus' successors over the next 462 years, not counting those who were murdered, the only one to live a longer life was Tiberius, who died age 77. The only other to live into his seventies, that also died of natural causes (hence why I don't count Galba or Gordian I), was Antoninus, who reached 74 . Vespasian, Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Severus, Diocletian, and Constantine, were all in their 60s. Marcus Aurelius, who we often think of as an old man, probably due to Richard Harris' splendid portrayal of him in Gladiator, was just 58 (Sir Alec Guinness was actually about the right age when he depicted him in The Fall of the Roman Empire).

The GOAT

[@beastmodemills3435]

The naming system in ancient Rome was this. The first name was the common name and the name that most people would refer to you as. The second name was the family name. And the third was the clan name basically a name that someone within the family would give themselves and pass onto their children. So a name like Gaius Julius Caesar would be read as Gaius (the common name) Julius ( the family name) and Caesar (the clan name). Julius Caesar (the famous one) came from a line of Caesar’s I’m not sure exactly why they added on the cognomen but apparently it meant hair or having good hair.

[@paultyson4389]

Caesar was amazing at everything thing he did. He won Rome's highest award for bravery as a young man. But he attracted great envy and his enemies sought any insult or lie to bring him down. They said amongst other things that "he was every man's woman and every woman's man". By that they meant not only was he gay but worse, he assumed the woman's role in his gay relationships by being the receiver rather than the giver. This all started when he was sent to the King Nicomedes of Bithynia to get some boats for a siege of a Greek island. They suggested that he and the king had had an affair and he was referred to as the "Queen of Bithynia" thereafter. And if that wasn't bad enough, he was also a sex maniac when it came to women, presumably as the giver this time. In other words, he couldn't win. But unfortunately that's what lesser men do when confronted by a truly amazing man. And if insults don't work, there are always daggers.

[@weabootrash5891]

I know that this comment is 6 months old, but I honestly don't think it was intentional whatsoever. The meeting place changed all the time, and the senators had to really push the murder ahead of schedule because Caesar would be leaving Rome only days after the Ides, which was when he was murdered. If anything it was simply a twist of fate that their rushed murder plan ended up killing Caesar in the most poetic way possible

You are so cool Spectrum!!! Thanks for the videos!

[@watchman0062]

Could you please do a video ranking every eastern Roman emperor from when the western Roman Empire began in 395 A.D. to when it ended in 476 A.D.? I know the idea of a video like this may seem a bit redundant considering all of those emperors where listed in your eastern Roman Empire video but considering that the western Roman Empire got its own video, I think it would only be fair. After all you would only have to rank six emperors from Arcadius to Zeno and since you would probably need a different title for your video, it could be something along the lines of “Ranking Every EARLY Eastern Roman Emperor From Worst To Best.” Even though it would be a pretty short video, at least consider the idea, thanks.

[@andyying1770]

Arcadius didn't do much and died early, Theodosius II spent most of his time doing nothing and fell of a horse, Marcian made some economic reforms, Leo I was decent but was unable to help the West, and Zeno was decent. It's somewhat hard to rank the Eastern empire during that time because Hunnic invasions were not as bad and were mostly bribed away and the east was much more stable, making it much harder for any emperor to stand out as being great or terrible.
