The way he died waa just not it
@prplhze2000 Says:
Pompey the great cleanup artist. Managed by Sulla. Metellus Pius and Lucillus did the real work in Spain and Turkey. Claimed credit for Crassus victory over Spartacus. Finally ran into real opposition with Caesar and dithered.

ur black
@jannarkiewicz633 Says:
I would have been given a participation trophy in Pompey's triumph!!!!!!
@hafizrahman5665 Says:
even they knew that Palestine exists XD
@briandoss9232 Says:
Huh. Kind of an undeserved end for him...
@ehrldawg Says:
Up next;John J Pershing
@TheRealForgetfulElephant Says:
3:14
This is slightly misleading as Spartacus’ forces had split as well. Half went North to try and break out of Italy (defeated by Crassus I think) and the other half went south to sail out of Italy (defeated by Pompey I think)
@juliaberger1256 Says:
which sources did you use?
@Ken_Scaletta Says:
Somebody should have said something to him about that haircut. I bet it was Caesar who told him to get it.

Sheeesh

As long as he can be propped up on a horse he's dangerous.
@bill9989 Says:
Pompey was not assassinated in Alexandria. It was at Pelusium, on the eastern side of the Nile Delta.
@heavenyeahh1196 Says:
7:10 is really funny. 😂😂😂
@jeffreygunn3150 Says:
Good Futurama reference.
@shubhambanerjee4930 Says:
Damn Pompey's downfall was quick and bad
@josephmedina180 Says:
Any chance you could cover caracalla. Awesome job with the videos by the way!!
@urishima Says:
18:53 the heck was that?
@13thravenpurple94 Says:
Great work 🥳 Thank you 💜
@iDeathMaximuMII Says:
Pompey The Great: A Fantastic Life & Career ended by a Kingdom he helped out & thought would do the same. The Ptolemy's made a bad choice. They should've just captured him instead
@dominicgarza6685 Says:
Currently taking a "Fall of the Roman Republic" class at UC Santa Barbara and these videos help SO MUCH. The lectures can be very confusing, but using your videos as review is saving me. Thank you!
@theballlightningvideos Says:
More 2 part bios Simon please!
@jameshorne4407 Says:
A show about Micheal Collins would be great.......
@QueenetBowie Says:
One of those historical What Ifs? if Pompey had beaten Caesar, held off to be more careful and cautious in his attack and actually won…. Would the Republic have held on? How long would Rome have remained a republic?
@joanduffield8161 Says:
More Rome videos please
@samssamsung8394 Says:
Please post more videos about
- Presocratics (Thales of Miletus, Empedocles, Parmenides, Democritus Etc etc)
- Cicero
@hitmanhart22 Says:
Can you please do a biography on Lalit Aditya muktipida and on Bappa Raval
@markhough1027 Says:
Always love Roman bios. Michael Collins (Irish leader from Irish war of independence and Irish civil war) was assassinated 100 years ago this year be great to see a bio on him.
@kevinbrown6286 Says:
You smack your lips so often it’s so disgusting
@kikiaddams6501 Says:
How about a Video about Hisashi Ouchi?
@AncestorEmpire1 Says:
“HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!”
@kkodiak Says:
I had no idea Pompey had that much history behind his name, genuinely makes me angrier with egypt having him assassinated, imagine how things could of turned out, pompey to me was about the only person in the world who could stand against cesar.
@daye118 Says:
Would you ever think about doing a biographics of Lü Bu the chinese general from the late eastern han dynasty thing he would make a very interesting video (we all know the great generals of the past do very well) or maybe thing about doing a video on Han Xin you could do a 3 parter of all of the three heros of the early han dynasty.
Just a thought either way keep up the amazing videos keep me entertained and learning while on my long drives work.
@pepylupu Says:
Could u do one for tim Burton
@matthewwhitton5720 Says:
Have you already covered Ned Kelly , Simon ?…His literary musings ( the Geraldine letter / anti-Protestant, Irish nationalist manifesto ) and extraordinary, armoured battle with dozens of Victorian colonial police would make a marvelous retelling. Not to mention Johnny Cash’s superb musical tribute to Ned.
@thomasparisi5333 Says:
Bing, Bang, Boom! Pompey's Coming!
@mrgaudy1954 Says:
That is a Thanos beard and a half
@TheSpecieSpecialist Says:
Do a video on Lorenzo De’ Medici The Magnificent
@Gizas03 Says:
how is Simon British but i never heard him say "innit" ?????
@matheusmterra Says:
If Caesar never existed, it is Pompey who would have been the greatest roman whose name is known by basically everyone two thousand years later.
@johnvonbraski9894 Says:
Do Peter Francisco, the Portuguese giant of the American Revolution.

I swear I’m subscribed to 25 of the channels Simon is a “host” of… I should be a vip at this point. Keep up the good work.
@zothanmawiapachuau Says:
For all those who haven't heard of Pompey before... HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME!!!
@johnlansing2902 Says:
Poor or great all die .
@Nikephorus Says:
Pompey feels overrated to me. He defeated a bunch of pirates and took credit for defeating Sparticus when Crassus was mostly responsible. Soon as he faced Caesar he got his ass handed to him even though he had all the advantages at that battle. More men, better supplied army, better position on the battlefield.
