Mostly because the land they choose is where they are sure to find plenty of support, they have plenty of recruits with little to no experience in battle choosing quantity over quality, Caesar on the other hand chooses the latter over the former and makes every battle a disaster for the Optimates and immortalizing him in the eyes of history as Rome’s finest general of his time.

In ‘civil war’ it is mentioned that his policy of clemency came back to bite in this way as many of the Pompeian soldiers he spared and disbanded would just reform and return to the Pompeian army. The massacre of the defeated troops at Thapsus was partly caesar’s solders making a statement to him that they were sick of him letting these prisoners go only to have to fight them again.

It’s amazing that Caesar lived as long as he did considering all the close shaves he had in both the Gallic and civil wars. For example He could have lost everything he’d achieved in this final battle. It seems Caesar was always in an uphill battle but in the end always prevailed, until he was stabbed to death in the senate.

Labienus was far & away Caesar's most formidable opponent during his long military career, and during the invasion of Gaul had been his most capable subordinate. In Gaul Labienus had won a number of battles in independent command (a task Caesar not infrequently trusted his senior legate with) and was a masterful tactician that was adept at ambuscades. Along with Vercingetorix he is also only one of two men who could ever boast of having once bested Caesar in battle. The ancient historical sources tend to vilify Labienus for his later siding with the Pompeiians, but since Caesar had won and these accounts were either written by his supporters or historians writing during the reign of the Julio-Claudian emperors, perhaps the portrayal of Labienus as a dishonorable & opportunistic character should be taken with a large dose of salt. The reason for his defection to Pompey might in fact be linked to his early career, and the duty expected of a Roman client to their patron. Labienus was a from a family of equestrians rather than one that had produced Senators and he was from Picenum, a region that had been under Pompey's patronage. It is quite possible that the young Labienus was familiar with Pompey and that his early career was enabled by Pompey. Just speculation of course but if that were true it makes his siding with Pompey much more sympathetic, and the outcome a bit more tragic.

How glorious and also a sign of "This is it boys, fight or die!" to see your general, veteran of countless desperate battles, to dismount his horse, grab a shield, and charge the line, in front of you?! _Bona_ _Dea_ , what a sight! Knew for a long time that Caesar's last battle was here in the Iberian Peninsula, but never until now I was able to know how that campaign occurred; thanks K&G, one more of my life's "to do's" crossed from the list! Also, a Lusitanian betraying his commander? Do I see a pattern here?... Note: Lusitanian's most notable chieftan, Viriato, a figure worthy of respect by both Portuguese and Spanish alike, was betrayed by three of his companions, who agreed to kill him in a meeting with the Roman commanders during the Lusitanian War (aka the "Fire War"). They killed Viriato in his sleep, and story tells that when they turned back to the Roman commanders in search of a reward, they simply replied "Rome does not pay traitors". This is a popular say still in use in Portugal to this day.

@@filb Labienus was originally Pompey's guy, even before Ceasar, plus many theorize that Labienus might have been a die hard supporter of the Republic, his defection was probably something Ceasar anticipated. Both these men were apparently butting heads just before Labienus defection, even with all the unlikely victories and glory he had with Ceasar, he was not willing to bend his political values for him, its amazing how all those backstabbing senators were more than willing to beg Ceasar for mercy once the balance of power tipped in Cesar's favour, while Labienus, the man who Cesar relied the most during his epic Gallic campaigns stuck with the optimates even after several devastating defeats.

After watching this series I am fascinated by Titus Labienus, why did he joined Gnaeus Pompeius Magnus and fought against Gaius Julius Caesar to his death. What was reason of Labienus hatred towards Caesar and could Pompey beat Caesar if he did not listed to "advises" of Labienus, who besides grossly underplaying Caesar strength, was extremely competent general. I would be extremely keen to watch a documentary about Labienus.

It's amazing to see that the towns of that age are still standing under different names. For example, Ucubi is now called Espejo and the ruins of Soricaria have been found near the village of Santa Cruz. The river Baetis is now the Guadalquivir and the Salsum is the Guadajoz River. Again, awesome video.
