Always found this part of Roman history particullary amazing. Anthony starts off with all the advantages: money, political & military power, and actual combat experience. Octavian had pretty much nothing other than his inherited name. And yet, in the end...

[@EvilPumpkin]

My father died on this floor. Right there. Stabbed 27 times, butchered, by men he called his friends. Who will tell me that is not murder? Who will tell my legions who loved Caesar as I do that that is not murder? - Augustus Octavian Caesar.

[@michaelsinger4638]

The rise of Octavian is so fascinating.

Brutus and Cassius: We did it guys. We have saved the Republic.

After assasinating Caesar

[@CaesarSonOfMars]

The "Liberators": Okay we'll have a funeral but it'll be chill with no theatrics okay?

[@justinian-the-great]

Not gonna lie, Brutus, Cassius and the rest of the "Liberators" might've been the stupidest assassins in history. They killed Caesar, the man whom literally everyone loved, and were like: "Now what?" No coup plans, no attempts to remove Anthony or Lepidus, not even checking the Caesar's will! They were so stupid to think that Anthony, who was literally more of an autocrat than Caesar himself, would just go along and not attempt to take the power for himself. Not to mention that they didn't even addressed the problem that Lepidus and the entire legion of Caesar's soldiers, men who literally followed Caesar to hell and back and who would surely take revenge for his murder, were stationed just outside Rome at the moment of assassination. They didn't ever bother how to convince either the people or the legions that what they did was right, nor they had the backup plan for what to do if the population in Rome turns against them, as it of course eventually did. It's amazing that the "Liberators" even survived those 2 years until battle of Philippi!

Doabella: "Caesar was a tryant!"

[@brainflash1]

Imagine thinking Caesar was a tyrant only to replace him with the dynasty that produced Nero and Caligula.

[@kensingcd]

For Caesar to pick an obscure, unknown kid as his successor really shows how incredible his judgement could be… how many great leaders have hand picked the successor to their name, their legacy? None can touch Julius and Octavian in accomplishments

" My father died on this floor. Right there. Stabbed 27 times, butchered by men he called his friends. Who will tell me that is not murder? Who will tell my legions who loved Ceasar, as I do, that is not murder?"

[@Kocolinho]

I'm fascinated by Octavian's history and I loved your civil war documentary so far. I'm so excited to see Ocvtavian's rise to power!

[@Mikefantasia22]

I cannot imagine just how badly Mark Antony's Heart SUNK when he did finally hear Caesars will.

[@kensingcd]

I love how this was portrayed in the HBO show Rome… Mark Antony really showed a political nuance that no one thought he had.

//What happened in Rome after Caesar's assassination?//

[@MrGksarathy]

I wonder how much Octavian genuinely believed in giving the people of Rome Caesar's gift. Obviously, it was mostly a cynical power play, but considering what he went through to give it, I believe Octavian on some level genuinely believed in what he was doing.

[@JawsOfHistory]

I always like to picture the suffocating silence when the senators realised that, despite their flawless plans not extending beyond Caesar's death, at some point someone would have to tell the legions that they just murdered their best commander. And that the legionaries who left their homes and families to prepare for a war, will not only not be getting rich in the east, the legions will also be denied their vengeance against the Parthians.

[@cb5117]

While Antony was never considered much of a politician, the moves and countermoves he made after the assassination were nothing short of brilliant. He knew exactly the reaction the reading of Caesars will would elicit from the people, and a wax mannequin with the 27 stab wounds constituted political theatre at its historical best. An absolute boss move.
