Watch in HD! This computer is 10yrs old (my love) and it's still pushing out videos. With that being said, the video quality isn't the best. Until I get a newer system, this is what I'll be working with - but I hope my trusty potato doesn't stop you from enjoying the video.
Sub & Like for a P.3!
________________________________________________________________________________________
This video was difficult to say the least. All the footage you see comes from season 1 of *HBO's Rome*, episodes 3-7! Lots of hours dedicated to it to make sure it flowed together. THIS SHOW IS INCREDIBLE and I recommend it to any fan of history. Shame that it ended in 2 seasons. Hours of episodes stuffed into 18 minutes, so there is no bonus clip :( super bummed about that but, I didn't want it to drag along.
________________________________________________________________________________________
This is Part II, and if HBO doesn't take it down (fingers crossed) I hope you all enjoy it! You've waited long enough. I do not own any images or sounds. All ownership of images goes to the creative minds at HBO and, of course, to Jack Van Dyck, whose music is displayed here.
_________________________________________________________________________________________
Music is from the video game "Rome: Total War" developed by Creative Assembly and composed by Jack Van Dyck.
Tracks Used:
"Journey to Rome" - 0:07
"Carthage Intro" - 1:10
"Drums of Doom" - 2:35
"Death Approaches" - 3:05
"Arabic Summer" - 9:21
"Eastern Intro" - 10:47
"Lonely Strategos" - 14:51
Some of the scenes shown had their own background music that I tried to find tracks that went along with, and I really didn't want to get hit with a copyright by having that music in it. It may sound muddled here and there.

I really appreciate you all for your patience! You're all incredible. Special shout out to apoc who is the first viewer of Part II as I'm typing this right now! And my other subscribers that have been around since Day One. Whether it's 100 or 100mill, I truly appreciate the positivity you all give. Keep spreading it.

Caesar: “We must win or die. Pompeii’s men have other options...” He’s talking about Sun Tzu’s realization of the advantage smaller armies can have when they know they’re being outnumbered. When put on “death ground” where soldiers’ only options are “fight or die”, they undergo this remarkable psychological transformation where they will fight with ALL they have. And the other side that outnumbers them have the option of retreat. Nobody wants to be one of the first ones to die in a battle they’re assured they’ll win. So they don’t fight as hard. Obviously this isn’t always the case. But it DOES happen and HAS happened numerous times throughout history. This battle of Pharsalus is a good example of that. Combined with Caesar’s brilliant tactics and strategy.
@hagamapama 2 жыл бұрын
What pompey failed to mention with the whole "single cohort" thing is that the entire job of Casear's outnumbered cavalry was to create enough dust and noise resisting Pompey's cavalry that they wouldn't notice the line of spearmen until they hit them. Caught by surprise by the sudden appearance of the hard counter to Cavalry right in front of them, with no formation because they were in pursuit, no time to do anything but run headlong onto the spearheads, the entire cavalry force broke, freeing Caesar to roll Pompey's line up. It was one of the greatest deceptions in te history of war.

Pompey was outsmarted by Caesar time and time again.

Something Pompey and his allies ignored, and had no desire to do in the first place.

You are wrong. Pompey did exactly the right thing in fleeing Rome. Caesar knew perfectly that occupying Rome was worth nothing. Pompey with his huge and powerful clients in Greece. Asia, Africa and his powerful fleet could easily blockade Rome. Caesar had only one choice : to chase Pompey as quickly as possible if he wanted to avoid the collapse of his army. If Pompey had been wise enough he would have avoided the battle and destroyed Caesar who had zero logistics easily.

I agree with this. Season 7 had good episodes, up to episode 4 or 5. After which it felt like underwhelming fan service. They could have spent a lot of time giving us more White Walker background but we got a melodramatic build up to Baelish's death instead. It was satisfying but it was obvious (at least to me) that it was coming. Pacing was off when it didn't need to be as nobody told them they only had to do 7 (& then 6) episodes - they chose that. HBO would have gladly funded more, the money was overflowing. At least Rome didn't have a choice.

"We will have no talk of surrender. We merely quarrelled a little....now we are friends again eh?" "It is I that is sorry. I presented you with an impossible dilemma and you did only what you thought was honorable, I'm sure." It's so easy to present Ceasar as a war mongering tyrant but some people forget just how graceful and merciful he was to his friends and enemies, so much so that it killed him in the end. He knew that when it came to the Civil war both sides were truly fighting for what they believed in, and didn't look at them as hated enemies but fellow Romans. It reminds me of General Lee's surrender at Appomatox when Grant ordered that no man shout or celebrate for fighting their fellow countrymen.

Caesar was certainly a megalomaniac and did much of what he did with the express purpose of furthering himself. That said, I do think he legitimately pursued power because he was the man to save Rome and make things better for it's people. This is evident in the fact that a lot of the reforms he passed were not particularly flashy nor did much to empower him further, but instead genuinely made Rome more efficient and governable (and ironically less corrupt).

Loved it. Your summary actually takes a lot of the chaff the screenwriters put, while leaving the hardcore history. Beautiful. I can't wait for part III, and would be awesome (perhaps in a different video) the full scene of Caesar speaking to the pontifical college, because it is the way Caesar presents itself to the eyes of traditional Rome, despite his plans being quite the opposite. Genius!

I think the show shows Pompey in a more calm light. in history he was portrayed as a old man resting on his laurels, trying to bring those down who would snatch them away from him. although, history is written by the victors, and the conversations about protecting Antony were private. I actually like this version of Pompey better, a man dragged into a war which he didn't want, dragged into a war by old men who were the real villians.

3:00 you left out the best line of the entire series. LOL, here when Pompeii was calling the retreat "tactical," Cato said "Oh, so it's a rare species of victory." Hahaha, every time I rewatch Rome, that line cracks me up again like it is the first time I've heard it. ****nevermind. As soon as I unpaused, after typing the above...then played the line. haha, you did put it in. My mistake, and well done!

@@legrosjaquard The only reason why greeks were not considered barbarians was because they were the first ones to use the word and used to consider romans as barbarians... Until they were conquered by the latter. Also, even if Ptolemy was of greek ancestry, he was still an egyptian monarch, hence would be considered egyptian more than greek. And in general barbarian was a term used to indicate those who didn't speak, in the case of Romans, latin.

Cato really was an expert on giving bad advice. He led Pompey into a war that he didn't want and ultimately lost due to following Cato's blood lust. Great casting, particularly Ciarán Hinds as Caesar, James Purfoy as Mark Anthony and Tobias Menzies as Brutus. Kevin McKidd as Lucius Voernus and Ray Stevenson as Titus Pullo were brilliant too, as were the scheming ladies of Rome, Polly Walker as Atia of the Julii and Lindsay Duncan as Servilla of the Junii.
