Battle of Actium (31 BC) - Final War of the Roman Republic DOCUMENTARY

Welcome to the newest edition of the Kings and Generals! In this video we are going to cover the Final war of the Roman Republic between general Mark Antony (Marcus Antonius) and queen of Egypt Cleopatra on one side and Gaius Octavian (Octavius) Caesar on the other. This war ended the republic and made Octavian the first emperor of Rome. The naval battle of Actium (31 BC) was central in this conflict - it was one of the largest naval engagements of the ancient times and probably one of the most decisive.

Problem is, it is not an exact number. Legions had anywhere from 4 to 6 thousand. And ancient writers usually name the legions which took part in the battle/campaign, but not the total of the combatants.

Octavian was both lucky and smart in whom he delegated to. Agrippa, Maecenas, countless others whose contribution to Octavian's rise and reign made Augustus the successful emperor we know him as today. It's my opinion that the most important skill any leader can possess is the skill to find and motivate the right people for the right job.

@DanishCamp 6 жыл бұрын

Wrong. Octavian had the lesser part of the deal. Africa was the richest province in the Roman Empire at that time. Also the Easten provinces were rich and Egypt was especially rich in grain and would become essential for the feeding of Italy. Gaul and Italy were poor and Octavian had less legions alotted from getting those areas. What made it an advantage was that Octavian could spend all his time in Rome throwing propaganda about Anthony without Anthony being there and in turn turning the senators on Anthony. Lepidus was an old and well respected commander amongst the senate. It is true however, that he was the lesser part of the Triumvirate in terms of support from the senate and the people as well as claim to Caesar's legacy. And Anthony was an even bigger general. When the army of Lepidus met the army of Anthony the army deserted to Anthony without a single fight cause they were unwilling to fight the most respected veteran commander.

I like to imagine that in some ways the Eastern Roman Empire always existed, it just gained more and more political prestige until Constantine established it as the greater power base. The West was forged in the Samnite and Punic Wars while the East was always a takeover of the Hellenic sphere of influence, which is why the imperial court of the East embraced their heritage as both Greek and Roman, which was fitting because the Romans fell in love with all things Greek.

However after the failed attempt to overthrow Octavius by Fulvia, his ex-wife, in Perusine War, Octavius managed to annex Gaul under his ruling.

I definitely think Antony was under the spell of Cleopatra with his weird decisions leading to the defeat at Actium. He did tend to be a maverick which didn't help him but was a tactical genius nevertheless. Octavian though politically astute couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag but had Agrippa which helped him immeasurably. In the end it was for the best as Antony would have been a crap emperor as he loved the east too much and was undisciplined but I have great admiration for him as a commander of men and tactician.

Close to 1,000 likes on a video posted earlier this month. That is pretty impressive, all things considered. There's a level of nuance and professionalism that shines through on this. I know a lot of folks are advocating a name change. In my opinion, KZfaq seems to work more on related videos than like-names. For instance, I follow a lot of channels like MHV and BazBattles and so it was just a matter of time until I came across your channel. I think it's an "if you build it, they will come" scenario, if you consistently churn out videos with this level of quality and detail then you will blow up regardless of catchy name. Just my two cents.

Agrippa was a real badass

@freyasslain2203 2 жыл бұрын

That was more a victory that should be given to Marcus Agrippa , than Octavian ( Augustus) . And I am sure that Augustus would agree with that .

Cicero said the same thing for Ceasar and Pompey. Nobody can stand against them and 100,000 battle-hardened Romans in Legion Formation. History repeats itself again, but Antony was too greedy for power, money, fame and women.

It's still somewhat prevailant, just mostly behind scenes especially in countries where *actual* democracy isn't implemented, i.e dictatorships where the ruler and his family turn into a mafia gang Arab countries are prime examples

Nice job, well presented. I also learned one of the reasons Octavian ended up being victorious was that he could Time Travel! The last shot of him celebrating his Triumph with the Arch of Titus and the Colosseum in the background gave it away. Explanation? Aliens obviously, but was he a lizard or a gray?

You have all these unique names like ceasar salad, octavian, Napoleon dynamic, ghengis khan, attila, barabossa, leonadis, xeres. Then you have Mark Anthony. Plain mark anthony like the singer mark anthony. Even richard the lionheart is unique.

Kings and Generals Wait people didn't magically float ship to ship in the old days? They didn't just let ships burn well standing on them sorrounded by water? That's real naval warfare lol.
