I love that Caesar became so infuriated at the Ptolemie for murdering Pompey Magnus. Even though they were political enemies, Caesar still respected Pompey and took great offense at his death. This scene in the show "Rome" is one of my personal favorite and does an excellent job of portraying the great nobility of Julius Caesar.

Yeah, it’s kinda respectable, but Caesar’s downfall was caused by him being way too respectful and kind to his enemies, who were snakes

Pity that Titus Labienus wasn't mentioned. He was Caesar's friend and most reliable legate until Caesar marched on Rome. When that happened, Labienus defected to Pompey's side and was the last opponent Caesar had to deal with in his civil wars. He deserves at least half the credit for the Conquest of Gaul and in North Africa he gave Caesar a bloody nose at the Battle of Ruspina. Maybe Labienus should get his own video on this channel. I'm sure he has plenty of material to fill a video on this channel.

@@pg727 The Triumvirate was a secret pact between three Roman Senators to "rig" the elections in their favor. But rig here does not mean what it would mean in our time. Rather, what the three did was pre agree to a scheme whereby they would support each others claim to the crown in turn. This is a grotesque oversimplification. What made it so contrary to the traditions of pre imperial Rome was that Senators by tradition were all more or less equal. The First Triumvirate vary much upset this dynamic from that point moving forward. It was basically the first tangible sign of some Senators amassing a level of Power such that the Senate itself could no longer reign in members that threatened to behaved in a way contrary to the traditions and customs of the dignified pro republic Senate. The triumvirate was not a balance of power, it was the end of the widely and equally distributed power amongst the many Senators.

So few KZbinrs make the proper connection between events. Thank you for explaining how the shattering of the Triumvirate poisoned the well for Julius Caesar. Marcus Licinius Crassus is the man who financed Caesar. Pompeius Magnus never gave Caesar a dime, and wasn't as impressed with Caesar's military victories as Crassus. This is because Pompey, himself, was a great military general in his own right. Up until the Battle of Carrhae, Crassus was just some rich dude who hadn't distinguished himself too much on the battlefield. This was the reason Crassus forced that ill-fated battle in the first place. ⚔️

He wasn't an emperor. The first emperor was Augustus, his nephew.

@@brianhill5009 He would have been if he was not assassinated.

@@XMissGX he probably wouldn't have been; Augustus took the steps to become sole ruler (Emperor) because Caesar was murdered. You see Caesar allowed his enemies back into high positions in Rome, he saw future consulships for many of them including Brutus. Caesar shared power and got killed, Augustus didn't share power and didn't get killed. If we are to believe accounts of the day Caesar saw himself more of a king (Rex) with purple robes, a crown and a throne, whereas the emperors up until Diocletian did not act like royalty, and again that was because Caesar had been killed for doing so. Hope that makes sense
