...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!

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.

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

Great as always! :)

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.

Hey thanks for responding! And that makes sense, I’m just looking forward to whatever you put out next I always enjoy your videos and when you finish your Caesar series I’m going to have to rewatch it for a third time lol!
