Why was Caesar Rome's Greatest General? (new Cost of Glory video) I think the best illustration may be his Pharsalus campaign, where he faced Pompey and the combined grand army of his optimate antagonists, in the Civil War. It began with Caesar's humiliating strategic loss at Dyrrhachium. But one of Caesar's master strokes: In a campaign in which everyone else (including most historians today) thought Caesar had time working against him. He *kind of* did, since Pompey was vastly better provisioned with food, money, ships, etc. But Caesar realized an opportunity to turn the tables: When he retreated to the wide plains of Thessaly, great cavalry country, he was luring Pompey into a position where Pompey was obviously superior (Pompey had 7x the cavalry that Caesar did). Pompey kept refusing battle, knowing Caesar's great strength, while trying to make it look like Caesar was the one refusing battle (really Pompey was just offering it on insane terms, outside his fort, up on a hill). But Caesar was just waiting for the pressure to build on Pompey (much of the senate was literally watching, while camped out with Pompey, and getting impatient). Caesar at last called Pompey's bluff, and packed up to retreat. Now, if Pompey let Caesar go when he had him on easy territory, he'd be revealed as timid. Caesar knew that, to stay at the top of Rome's leadership, Pompey couldn't just wear Caesar down in a war of attrition. He had to challenge him man to man. The whole campaign came down not so much to military supremacy, as to a clash of egos, of politics, and Caesar exploited this fact to the maximum. To settle it then and there was militarily and strategically unnecessary, the military risk/reward calculation was bad. But Caesar offered a temptation too great to refuse for someone whose objective was not pure victory, but securing his reputation. Not unlike Alexander's approach to Darius III! Pompey marched out, fought, and lost. Battle details herein:

I read over 1,000 pages on Julius Caesar's leadership, these are my five top takeaways... 1. Caesar inspired his troops by fighting alongside them. In a battle against the Helvetii he rode to the frontlines, then sent away his horse to show that he would endure the battle with his soldiers. No matter the outcome. This inspired his men to fight for him, as he shared their danger. Key Lesson- You must always work alongside your employees. Let them know you share in their suffering. 2. Caesar always moved with speed and agility. Napoleon said: "The strength of an army, is estimated by multiplying the mass by the rapidity" The Romans under Caesar were not only the best engineers, but they were also the fastest. This gave them speed and agility both in travel, and in warfare. Key Lesson- Speed and agility. Speed and agility. Speed and agility. 3. Caesar expected his troops to always be ready. “He also made a habit during campaigns of not announcing the hour of the army’s departure beforehand as he expected his men to be prepared to follow him at any time." Key Lesson- You must expect your employees to always be ready. Always keep them moving. Never let stagnation settle in. 4. Caesar pushed his troops to the absolute limits. From his biography: "No Roman general ever pressed his troops harder than Caesar, but no army ever followed its leader more willingly." Key Lesson- Push your troops hard. It simply builds moral. 5. Caesar instilled a meritocracy. Also from his biography: "Caesar didn’t care what kind of background his men came from, wether they were Roman patricians by birth of the sons of a goatherd. All that mattered to him was how they conducted themselves in war." Key Lesson- Give room in the organization for talent to rise up in the ranks. This encourages performance.

Julius Caesar was the first Roman to have his effigy on a coin during his lifetime. By doing this, he wanted to show all his sub­jects that he was the absolute ruler of Rome. Money thus became an instrument of political pro­pa­ganda. Fol­lowing Caesar’s death (March 44 BC), all Roman emperors minted coins bearing their image... Portraits of important people appear on local currency all around the world. The same was true in ancient Rome, which began producing its first coinage in late 4th Century BC. Early coins depicted the heads of gods and goddesses on the front side, often in profile, while the back depicted animals, natural resources, symbols, and references to historical events. It was not until 44 BC that the portrait of a living person—Julius Caesar appeared on coins. Thereafter, profile portraits of rulers or other members of the imperial family became the standard subject on coins throughout the Roman Empire. Inscriptions on coins help identify the ruler. While the front side depicted the sovereign’s portrait, the back was often used to communicate the ruler’s accomplishments or aspirations. Until Late Antiquity, portraits usually appeared in profile. The tiny images were carved by engravers into bronze dies, with one for the front and another for the back. The coins were then struck, one by one, in a process similar to how coins are created today. The front (obverse) of this coin portrays the head of Julius Caesar facing to the right and wearing a laurel crown. On the back (reverse) are a rudder, globe, cornucopia, caduceus, and apex (priest’s cap). It is important to note that while Caesar minted many issues in his own name he did not mint any types that featured his own portrait. It is only with the issues of the quattuorviri monetales of 44 BC that the portraits appear. While influence by Caesar cannot be ruled out in the decision to use his portrait, his own issues for 44 BC focus on his patron Venus and continued motif of Gallic victories. Dio Cassius (44.4.4) writes, "In addition to these remarkable privileges they named him father of his country, stamped this title on coinage…" (Loeb translation) Πρός τε τούτοις τοιύτοις οὖσα πατέρα τε αὐτὸν τῆς πατρίδος ἐπωνόμσαν καί ἐς τά νομίσματα ἐνεχάξαϛ This passage refers to the Senate's approval of the use of the honorific title parens patriae (father of his country) on coinage. Historians commonly use it to explain the appearance of Caesar's portrait on coinage. But this passage nowhere states or implies that the Senate voted to allow Caesar's image to accompany the title. The only suggestion of this idea arises from two coins that used Caesar's image with the legend PARENS PATRIAE (RRC 480/19 and 20). While these coins do use both the image of Caesar and the title parens patriae they were most likely minted after the death of Caesar. It remains unclear if the use of his portrait was sanctioned by the state. It is clear, however, that the appearance of Caesar's portrait provided a visual manifestation of the power that Caesar wielded. 🎥© the.coin.auctioneer (IG) #archaeohistories

Napoleon studied Caesar. Caesar wept before a statue of Alexander. Alexander wanted to be Achilles. The greatest men the West ever produced were all trying to become the same Greek warrior... Alexander the Great kept a copy of the Iliad under his pillow. His tutor Aristotle had personally annotated an edition for him. According to Plutarch, when Alexander arrived at the ruins of Troy in 334 BC, he sacrificed at the tomb of Achilles and ran naked around it. He told the priests offering to show him Paris's harp that he had no interest in seeing the harp of a coward. "I would far rather see the lyre of Achilles," he said, "which he used to sing the glories of brave men." Three centuries later, in 69 BC, Julius Caesar was serving as quaestor in Spain when he stood in front of a statue of Alexander in the temple of Hercules at Cadiz. He was thirty-two: the same age at which Alexander had died, having already conquered most of the known world. Caesar wept. When his friends asked why, he answered, according to Plutarch: "Do you not think it is matter for sorrow that while Alexander, at my age, was already king of so many peoples, I have as yet achieved no brilliant success?" Eighteen centuries after that, Napoleon Bonaparte sat for his coronation portrait wearing a golden laurel wreath, modelled on the wreath of Julius Caesar. He carried with him on campaign the works of Plutarch and Caesar's own commentaries. Each of these men was reaching back, through the centuries, to the figure who came first. And that figure was a half-mortal Greek warrior who, when offered the choice between a long, quiet life and a short, glorious one, chose glory. The Greek name Akhilleus is most plausibly derived from akhos, meaning grief, and laos, meaning people. The grief of the people. The greatest hero of the Western imagination is not named for victory or for strength. He is named for sorrow... But that is the bargain: to choose greatness in the Achilles tradition is to choose a particular kind of suffering. Alexander died at thirty-two. Caesar was murdered by his closest friends. Napoleon ended his life on an island in the South Atlantic, looking at the sea. Each of them got what Achilles got: a name that has outlasted empires, and a life that was paid for in full. What drove the men who built Western civilization was not happiness. It was something older, deeper, and harder to name. The Greeks called it kleos: the glory that survives death. Achilles got there first. Three thousand years later, men are still trying to follow him... -- -- -- If you enjoyed this, I write a weekly newsletter read by over 50,000 people who love rediscovering the beauty of the past.
