A new video approaches! This is a compiled and remastered version of my histories of the Republic, the Punic Wars, and Caesar. All of the visuals & maps have been upgraded, and there are new historical notes, addenda, and clarifications/corrections. My goal was to create the definitive way to revisit my older videos on the subject

This is a bit of an experiment, but if you're interested in seeing more of these, please let me know! There are tons of other loose miniseries we can make into RE-Summarized episodes — Rome, Greece, China, India, and others. I had a lot of fun with this, and I'd be happy to make more of them.

History RE-Summarized: The Roman Republic

The Roman Republic is a fascinating story all on its own, but it also serves as an excellent object lesson in civics. This video is a Remastered, Definitive Edition of three previous videos from this channel — History Summarized: "The Roman Republic", "The Punic Wars", and "Julius Caesar and the Fall of The Republic". This video combines them all into one narrative, fully upgrades all of the visuals, and adds extra historical notes and clarifications along the way. Please let me know if you enjoyed this, and are interested in more videos like this. There are many historical miniseries on this channel that would fit neatly into a compilation like this, and I'd be thrilled to make them! SOURCES & Further Reading: Virgil's "Aeneid", Polybius' "Histories", Livy's "Ab Urbe Condita" Plutarch's "Parallel Lives", Caesar's "De Bello Gallico", "SPQR" by Mary Beard, "Rome: A History in Seven Sackings" by Matt Kneale, "Rubicon" by Tom Holland, "The Storm Before the Storm" by Mike Duncan, (and also my degree in Classical Studies). Note for 14:15 — I mention Livy's History Of Rome ("Ab Urbe Condita") by name, but made the lizard-brain mistake of showing Polybius instead. Poor Livy, first 75% of his work is lost, and now this. Our content is intended for teenage audiences and up.

I really liked this longer, more comprehensive format. Particularly, it serves as a jumping off point to other videos that go into the individual events in more detail.

Eric Stovall

I like this idea and agree with NEON725 of this being a handy go-to video for all your Roman Republic questions. I wouldn't mind seeing this in the history of China

Question: Caesar, as you said in your video, wrote extensively during his campaign in Gaul. Does that qualify him in the History-Makers category, or is there more involved?

You know, it most certainly could qualify him, though it might be a tad overkill to go back to Caesar *again* in the near future. :D maybe some day

Hugh Fisher

Really enjoyed it, would like to see the same format for other groups of related videos. Typo at 30:55 :-( Cleopatra's speech bubble says "So sure, Friday sonds good"

I enjoyed the video, although, to improve, maybe in future projects like this, you could rewrite more of the script, because, although the video is informative, it is a bit less engaging to people who have watched the previous videos.

What? Hannibal let Scipio get away with complaining that Hannibal brought an army? If anything, Hannibal brought an army home, an army that is no longer in Italy. Scipio should feel flattered most sincerely, and be grateful. There must have been something else going on, that Hannibal couldn't just point these things out to Scipio.

Valid points! I'd chalk it up to the author being Roman and having an interest in Scipio looking good. As I allude to in the video itself, it is also entirely possible that the conversation was wholly invented afterward for dramatic effect. -B
