Cicero's Finest Hour (44 to 43 B.C.E.)

Wonder what will happen on the next episode.

Octavian should've just finished off Antony

Maybe the best one yet

Good to hear. I’d start with storm before the storm and then move on to Sulla the last republican. Storm before the storm will provide a more general narrative and overall view and then Sulla the last Republican provides a close up, more detailed analysis

@ David Rofe: thanks for the Tip; I will have a Look Into it

My 12yo son just finished watching I, Claudius. I think it would take you 30 episodes to get from here, the start of the second Triumvirate, to Nero :)

Reading “Storm before the storm”?

I have an unrelated question. In several of your videos, you mention Sulla and describe his story as a can of worms (which has made it so much more intriguing). I have been reading a bit about Sulla and think it would be an excellent topic. Do you have any intention of opening this can of worms in the future? Cool episode by the way.

the fact that you started a new playlist for Octavian makes me feel extremely swag for the future

Cicero was no better than the politicians around him. He put Catalina to death without trial. That set a precedent that led to Cicero's end.

They are not very frequent because videos of this quality take time!

A legendary middlefinger if there ever was one.

I think Octavian naming Cicero's son to the consulship so that he could announce Antony's defeat at Actium is an even greater tribute to how he still felt about the father.

You should add a youtube annotation pointing back to your other great video about Cicero https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkZx0q_3rYI p.s. I like the reference to Antonius the "ambitious idiot" in the aforementioned video. Is this the uncle of Mark Antony that he had to sacrifice in the current video? p.p.s. Interesting to contrast Cicero's control of the situation in the Senate during the Catiline timeframe with the events of 44/43 BC

Well done on this edition, keep up the great quality even if it slows down production time -- there is SOO much depth of history to explore and you're a long way away from running out of content! Nice source list -- can you recommend a particular one or two of your favorite? Heck, I have a lot more free time these days. I'll make sure to purchase through those amazon links in the video ;)

good job

This videos are worth every ‘penny’ amongst other things i love, i love seeing investment (my patronage) paying off.

only minor disappointment, if i may say so, your videos are not frequent enough.

I’m really amazed how good and informative your videos are
