Today I watched it in it's entirety and I was right in prjudging so harshly. This is BIO is more superficial and vague than a Wikipedia article.>> <<@trismix_ says : Jd Vance is Pompey , Donald Trump is Sulla , And I am Julius Caesar>> <<@trismix_ says : Jd Vance back when. Sulla is trump and I am Julius Caesar. The trio is back.>> <<@damienpace7350 says : No that was Ceasar>> <<@CaptainMcMemes12345 says : Man you are carrying me through ancient history class>> <<@PtolemyCeasar says : I have to say from my own knowledge of Pompey he really was a better General than the great Caesar. if not for being in the quagmire of Roman politics and being out of the field for so long he would have rolled Ceasar up nicely.>> <<@thehillbillygamer2183 says : Why would Brutus be inside with Pompeii after Pompeii killed his father>> <<@Khetsisal33 says : Additionally Pompey was determined to fit his elephants through the gates because of a long traditional rule in which even during triumph you had to return into the Pomerium, the invisible boundary around the original site of Rome's founding, through the gates only. He could've just gone around the gate entirely but it was simply not permissible. The poor elephants must've been so confused.>> <<@kanderson772 says : I'm so goddamn sick of this British duder>> <<@portananirv533 says : “Probably civil wars just weren’t his thing.” ahahahah>> <<@krissturgess5217 says : The raf was called the Royal flying corps until after ww1>> <<@Shea89-25 says : Struck by a thunder bolt?? 😂>> <<@AManOfFocusCommitmentSheerWill says : He was A CONSUL OF ROME!!!>> <<@muscledavis5434 says : He wasn't BORN Gnaeus Pompeius MAGNUS, he gave himself the title magnus. This was actually remarkable back then, because ususally only after one's death he could be called Magnus, in a reference to Alexander the great (magnus=great), but Pompeius thougt he earned that title already as a living man (which is kind of agreeable xD)>> <<@solaurelian7638 says : Pompey is so underrated in my opinion, hes more than just the loser in Caesars civil war. Deserving of his own video!>> <<@snehdc07 says : @Biographics can you make a video about the life of Marcus Tulius Cicero ? I'd love to see it>> <<@xxcoopcoopxx says : Is there a sponsor called privacy still? How about a sponsor that says, "To record your own heritage, all you need is a journal, a pen, and a home that you paid off and never leave. Then, just write in your journal and give it to your kids and teach them the same thing..." Nah, let the Sponsor control you. Let the Sponsor know your heritage. Don't emancipate yourself. Submit to a Brave New World.>> <<@xxcoopcoopxx says : Shhhhhhhhhh.... Don't tell anyone... The Roman Empire never ended... Rome -> Istanbul -> Moscow>> <<@briandoss9232 says : Ah the fire of youth!>> <<@ehrldawg says : up next;John J pershing>> <<@victoralexander123ordonez8 says : Gaudeo jucunditatem esse posse simul esse ac simul discere. Summum illud est quod ORitur IMPERIUM GERMANICUM ITALICUM, maiora sunt quae ad INCOLAE AGENDUM pertinent. aenigma>> <<@rogerroger9960 says : It's Pom-pee my dood. 😭😭>> <<@Sidney_Williams says : Since you’ve done so many videos on Roman emperors, I would love to see a video on some adjacent figures. The one I’d like to see most is Queen Zenobia. If you can find time to a video on her, I’d greatly appreciate it.>> <<@TheRealForgetfulElephant says : 0:50 I don’t think magnus would have been in his birth name I could be wrong but that is a honorary title given for outstanding achievement>> <<@rooster2268 says : Could you do Cicero>> <<@easybreezy8904 says : Can you please cover Cato the younger.. Ty>> <<@thatlazguy says : Finally, my homeboy sexy pompey gets his own video>> <<@Aethelhart says : 0:56 is that Derek Jacobi?>> <<@JudeMichaelPeterson says : Is this guy even real, or is he just an AI generated personality that exists solely in YouTubisphere hosting countless channels and countless more videos?>> <<@rickwilliams967 says : Not sure if he'll see it, but holy crap, Simon's great grandfather looks a lot like him. Vice versa, but you get it.>> <<@gnaeuspompeiusmagnus1197 says : Yep, I’m the best.>> <<@songgoishtar662 says : With something like Myheritage, I found out I am related to Marry boleyn>> <<@m33tballa says : Pretty ironic Pompey backed the bloody tyrant Sulla then went again the righteous tyrant Caesar later on.>> <<@Floki_631 says : Caesar enters the chat.>> <<@Jacob-ol9ji says : LONG LIVE SIMON, FACT KING!>> <<@hihi-nm3uy says : it feels kind of odd how he pronounces his name as “pompeii” instead of “pompee”>> <<@SaracenCount says : Please do a Quintus Sertorius episode 🙏🏼>> <<@SaracenCount says : Loved it when he joked about Caesar not agreeing because "Civil war wasn't his thing" 🤣👌🏼>> <<@stevenmartinek815 says : Pompey the great would bow low before Simon Whistler the tremendous! Pompey was just a figurehead. The real brains of the operation was Simon Whistler. Little known fact, Simon Whistler founded Rome. He also did all the conquering, Roman armies just came to watch.>> <<@davidkamen says : I have never seen the name Pompey spelled with a Y, it is always with an I or a double ii. Does classic Latin have a Y in its alphabet ?>> <<@Nothingness00000-o says : He doesn't sound that great. He slaughtered thousands of people.>> <<@Unknowngfyjoh says : It's funny to watch Business Blaze and hear Simon say how much he hates talking about Roman emperors>> <<@13thravenpurple94 says : Great work 🥳 Thank you 💜>> <<@josephvalvano829 says : Its about God Damned time Pompey got his just rewards, the general called by many historians the Roman Alexander. Sulla may have given him the surname "The Great" as a private joke in jest, but Pompey not only embraced it, but then EARNED it! Its fitting that Shakespeare in Julius Caesar, had the Tribunes Flavius and Marullus castigating the Roman populace for " culling out holiday, over he who comes in Triumph over Pompey's blood. ">> <<@Monomakh says : 16:52: although the battle that defeated Lepidus was indeed fought near the Milvian Bridge, when we speak of the "Battle of the Milvian Bridge" we are usually referring to the battle between Constantine and Maxentius more than three centuries later.>> <<@martijnvanderzee5215 says : Great video, apart from a few mistakes here and there... For example the picture you show of the battle at the milvian bridge is wrong, that is of a battle that took place in 312 AD, with Constantine the great. You can see this due to the crosses and the angels Furthermore, Pomoeius was not born as gnaeus pompeius Magnus. You later tell us how he got that name, so I wonder how this mistake came to be. Also, gnaeus Pompeius Strabo was a novus homo, the first of pompeius magnus' family to be consul; NOT quintus pompeius. I get the confusion, but the plebian gens pompeia had several branches, meaning multiple novus homo (homii? Idk, bad in latin). Quintus pompeius was consul in 141BC, a novus homo, but not related to pompeius magnus. Maybe you try to simplify certain aspects of your video, but this might lead to mistakes. Another way to clear mistakes is to let it be checked by an actual historian. something I confess I am not, but even I see mistakes in many of your videos...>> <<@Jtkelly10 says : Leave it to biographics to make a factual error in the first minute of the video>>
