旁白:本集讲述了凯撒在高卢的征服战争,以及随后的罗马内战。凯撒的军事才能和野心,以及罗马政治的腐败和权力斗争,是导致内战爆发的关键因素。凯撒在高卢的战争残酷而血腥,他以实用主义为导向,不择手段地追求胜利。他的军事策略包括巧妙地利用高卢部落之间的矛盾,以及运用先进的军事技术和工程能力。凯撒还亲自撰写了《高卢战记》,这不仅是一部军事史,也是一部政治宣传作品。 David Gwynne教授:罗马征服高卢是为了应对高卢的威胁,高卢人对罗马构成了军事和政治上的威胁。 Amy Russell教授:凯撒通过各种手段保持其在罗马的影响力,包括写信、派遣代理人和定期与罗马人会面。 Adrian Goldsworthy博士:凯撒的《高卢战记》写作风格客观冷静,但其中也包含了对战争罪行的描述。 Neville Morley教授:凯撒是一个大胆果断的指挥官,他敢于冒险,并取得了成功。 旁白:凯撒与庞培之间的权力斗争是罗马内战的直接原因。庞培和元老院试图阻止凯撒返回罗马,而凯撒则选择渡过卢比孔河,正式开启了内战。内战的性质并非基于意识形态的冲突,而是源于凯撒和庞培之间对权力的争夺。凯撒在军事上取得了决定性的胜利,最终导致了庞培的死亡。凯撒在内战中的胜利,以及他随后被任命为独裁官,标志着罗马共和国的终结,并为罗马帝国的建立奠定了基础。
