It is a shame how a great general such as Pompey meet his end in such way.
Being killed, beheaded and his naked body thrown into the sea.
Cesar always respected Pompey, always asked for peace with him and was sad and very angered that Pompey was killed in such a manner in Egypt.
Indeed Plutarch was right, what an astonishing alliance would be if they both would have lead a united Roman army in campaigns against Germanics and Parthians.

As a history teacher who has been watching this channel through my college years, it feels nice to have a long doc on the day after my 24th birthday as I lay in bed. I also show some of your videos for my lessons, the animations are very captivating for the kids who find history "boring" :) dont ever stop!

I was hoping for the speech of Crastinus a Centurion of the X Legion before the battle of Pharsalus, for those who are interested in individual brilliance in the civil war he was the one who made this epic speech:
"Follow me you who were formerly in my company and give your General the service you have promised. Only this one battle remains following which he will recover his position and we our freedom." Then looking at Caesar, he declared: "General, today I shall earn your gratitude either dead or alive." After the battle was over and Caesar victorious, he searched for Crastinus and was discovered killed by a sword thrusted into his mouth and coming out of his back which proved that he did indeed die a glorious death at which point Caesar declared him a hero and raised a mound in his honor next to the mound Pompey had erected years earlier in celebration of his defeat of Mithridates VI.

It's amazing to look at the differences between Curio and Varus compared to Caesar and Pompey. Curio and Varus seem to make simple, transparent moves, and are concerned about losing face by retreating. Meanwhile Caesar and Pompey make complicated, clever, often opaque moves, and will retreat quickly when necessary. They also maintain much greater situational awareness.
If you want to read about the inevitable fall of the Roman Republic, I recommend Collen McCullough's Masters of Rome series. It's 6 books of about 1,200 pages each. She later added a 7th book to cover Antonius and Cleopatra. The first six books cover the last 70 years of the Republic, starting with Gaius Marius.

Julius Caesar’s life is always one of the best events in history, and Kings and Generals makes videos that are always masterfully done and gives us the best insights in history that aren’t fully documented on history classes or sometimes only half told in some history books, this channel does its best to give us more light in this otherwise murky spot in history.

22:48 This always cracks me up.
Pompey: "We're consolidating down south, don't nobody go Leroy Jenkinsing north to oppose Caesar"
Domitius: "Leroy Jenkins!"
Soldiers: "We will hand you over to Caesar and then join him lol"
Caesar: "Thanks for the legions, lol"
Domitius: "I'll get you for this, Caesar!"
