I absolutely love these. I'm going to be a little sad when Caesar is gone, I feel like he's been a part of my life so many years between all of videos of Gaul, Britain, and the Roman Civil War! Thank you so much for all your hard work! <3

I know you'll find this hard to believe, but I don't really plan more than 1 video ahead. By the time I'm half way done making a video I'm usually excited about something new and half researching it on the side. So like, I genuinely don't know. I've got a text file with a couple hundred ideas, but I almost never consult it.
I would imagine more Rome stuff, but who knows. I just let my brain do what it do, and then I make a video about it.

Amazing video as always! Any idea what your plans are for your next big series after you’re done with Caesar?

Thanks for the kind words! One of the reasons that part of Caesar's life isn't covered that much is because it only gets like 2 sentences in the ancient sources, which is a shame. There is a way to do it where you're like "Person X was part of Legion Y, and we're pretty sure Legion Y did this, this, and this," but obviously that involves a lot of guess work.

...Are you trying to tell me that Marc Antony offered the crown to Caesar.... while naked?
......And Shakespeare IGNORED that?!
Great video as always! I imagine you'll be kinda tired of Caesar after this, but I was wondering if you were going to go more into his time in Bithynia? I always felt like that whole first part of his life was always kind of ignored in favour of his more exciting career as a general!
