Jules César n'était pas seulement un grand général—sa vie amoureuse était tout aussi légendaire ! Il a eu des liaisons avec des femmes puissantes, y compris Cléopâtre, la Reine d'Égypte, ce qui a causé tout un scandale à Rome. Certains murmuraient même qu'il avait des relations avec des hommes, choquant encore plus la société romaine. Ses nombreuses romances lui ont fait des ennemis, puisque des rivaux jaloux se servaient de ses affaires amoureuses pour remettre en question sa loyauté et son ambition. Malgré les commérages, César savait comment transformer son charme en pouvoir politique. Ses scandales amoureux étaient si extravagants que votre professeur d'histoire a probablement laissé de côté les détails les plus croustillants—mais ne vous inquiétez pas, nous les avons tous !

00:00Here is Jeff, a Lambda individual who claims to have had 7 partners, assuming this is
00:07exact.
00:08And here is Julius, a much less conventional Roman whose conquests look more like a phone
00:13number.
00:14He had faithful and unfaithful wives, many ties, and even shared the intimacy of a
00:21person who contributed to his fall.
00:23Since one of his mistresses gave birth to the man who put an end to his days.
00:28Let us dare to cross the threshold of Caesar's chamber, will you?
00:31Chapter 1 Cornelia
00:34A fundamental element to understand is that Caesar was not born a despot.
00:38No sovereign was in his line, and, as usual, a father must already reign over the empire
00:44to hope to succeed him at an adult age.
00:46It goes without saying.
00:47His ascendancy was prestigious, and his father, a senator, assured him an honorable rank,
00:53but his family did not enjoy great political influence.
00:56His first wife was Cornelia, a patrician from an illustrious lineage.
01:00From their union was born Julia, Caesar's only legitimate daughter.
01:05While the exact number of his illegitimate children remains unknown.
01:08The essential question remains.
01:10Was Caesar a loving, faithful and attentive husband to Cornelia?
01:15To have a clear heart, we would have to invoke the spirits, because no document allows us
01:20to clarify with certainty the nature of their feelings.
01:23Likewise, no evidence explains why he stubbornly refused to repudiate her,
01:28although this decision was imposed on him under compulsion.
01:32In 82 or 81 BC, Lucius Cornelius Sulla, a Roman general who had become a dictator,
01:38imposed his law on Rome.
01:40Rival of Cornelia's father, he forced many citizens to repudiate their wives
01:45to contract marriage alliances with their own families.
01:48And, without much surprise, many submitted.
01:52Sulla demanded that Caesar abandon Cornelia, but the latter chose to exile himself.
01:57This refusal cost him his titles and his heritage, and Sulla went so far as to hire men
02:02to eliminate him.
02:04Captured, Caesar nevertheless managed to subjugate his jewellery, and thanks to the support
02:09of powerful allies, he found Cornelia.
02:12Perhaps they would have lived happily together until the end of their days,
02:16but fate decided otherwise.
02:19It was prematurely extinguished in 69 BC.
02:23In short, this marriage made him lose everything, fortune, home, social status,
02:28and could even have cost him his life.
02:29However, it was the disappearance of Cornelia that separated them.
02:33Did Caesar sincerely love her in the end?
02:36Chapter 2 Pompeii
02:38Two years later, in 67 BC, Caesar contracted a second marriage.
02:43In a way, this was the culmination of Sulla's wish.
02:46He married a woman of his lineage, Pompeii.
02:49His own little girl.
02:51Suffice to say that it was more of a union dictated by reason than by feelings.
02:56Time passed, and four years later, in 63 BC, Caesar obtained a major promotion by
03:01accessing the post of Pontifex Maximus, thus becoming the great priest of the Roman official cult.
03:08This function offered him, among other privileges, an official residence on the Via Sacra,
03:14a street where we can still stroll today by visiting the Roman Forum.
03:18Everything seemed to be going smoothly until in 62 BC, when Pompeii organized a party
03:24that precipitated the end of their union.
03:27Pompeii organized a festival in honor of Bonadea, an event strictly reserved for women.
03:33However, a young patrician named Publius Claudius Pulcher managed to enter,
03:39disguised as a woman, with the supposed intention of seducing Pompeii.
03:44Unmasked, he was pursued for sacrilege, while rumors of Pompeii's infidelity
03:50spread throughout the city.
03:52Claudius got out without a hitch.
03:55No charge was held against him, Caesar having refused to testify to his trial.
04:01The case ended much less favorably for Pompeii.
04:04Caesar divorced her.
04:05You may have already heard the adage,
04:07the wife of Caesar must be above all suspicion?
04:11It is this misadventure that is at the origin.
04:13Was Pompeii really guilty of adultery?
04:16We will never know.
04:17Caesar did not want to take any risks, or perhaps it was just a convenient pretext
04:22to get rid of a wife he had never been attached to.
04:26Chapter 3, it's starting to make sense.
04:29The same year, Caesar took another wife.
04:32Calpurnia, a young woman of noble lineage, but of great humility.
04:37Her influence in Rome never ceased to grow,
04:39she had to make strategic choices to establish her career.
04:44Although it was a marriage of convenience,
04:47sources report that Calpurnia was a faithful and devoted wife,
04:51which we cannot say about Caesar.
04:53He multiplied the conquests, and the most famous of them was without question
04:58Queen Cleopatra.
04:59But we will come back to this sulphurous link later.
05:03The imbalance of this union was obvious.
05:05Calpurnia was only 17 years old, while Caesar was 41 at the time of their marriage.
05:12Imagine, she was probably younger than Caesar's own daughter.
05:16But after all, this kind of thing still happened in the 21st century.
05:21It is difficult to say if Calpurnia possessed a truly remarkable beauty,
05:25but one thing is certain, she was endowed with extraordinary patience.
05:29Without it, how could she have endured the life of Casanova
05:33that Caesar adopted throughout their marriage?
05:37Rumor had it that he had been able to attract the wives of many influential men.
05:42Among them were those of two of his own allies in the First Triumvirate,
05:47this political alliance that united Cnaeus Pompeius Magnus,
05:51Marcus Licinius Crassus and Gaius Julius Caesar.
05:54One of them being Caesar himself, make the calculation,
05:57no wife of his partners escaped his conquests.
06:01Strange, isn't it?
06:02Before that, nothing indicated that he was such a veteran juppon runner.
06:07But after a marriage where he thought he was wrong,
06:10he lost all sense of the measure and began to treat women like pawns.
06:14All of Rome was rumoring about his alliance with Servilia, a Roman matron.
06:19No one knows exactly when their story began.
06:22Some documents point to the beginning of their relationship in 59 BC,
06:26but later it was said that it dates back to their adolescence.
06:30And if what was said later was true,
06:31then the hypothesis that Caesar was the real father of Brutus,
06:36yes, the one who betrayed him and participated in his assassination,
06:40could well not be so far-fetched after all.
06:43Caesar seemed to have a pronounced taste for women already taken.
06:47He had in particular a relationship with the Queen of Mauretania, Enoa,
06:51but it did not mark as much the spirits as his adventure with the inimitable Cleopatra.
06:56When he met her, he was a quincunx and had a wife who stayed in Rome.
07:01But something in young Cleopatra, then 21 years old, caught his attention.
07:06No doubt his charm or his intelligence.
07:09The drama intensified when Julius Caesar got involved in the family quarrel
07:13that opposed Cleopatra to her brother and husband, Ptolemy XIII.
07:17Their relationship being the most hapless, Cleopatra was driven out of Egypt,
07:21while Ptolemy tried to rule alone.
07:24Upon his arrival in Alexandria, Caesar received a welcome from the most macabre,
07:28the severed head of his rival, Pompey.
07:31Revolted, he tried to orchestrate a reconciliation between Cleopatra and Ptolemy.
07:36But Cleopatra had other plans.
07:39She infiltrated the palace, hidden in a bag well decided to captivate Caesar.
07:44Their idyll allied passion and political calculations.
07:47Caesar ended up restoring Cleopatra to the throne
07:50and organized his nuptials with his cadet, Ptolemy XIV.
07:54After the drowning of his first brother-in-law.
07:57Despite this situation for the least unusual,
08:00Cleopatra imposed herself at the head of the kingdom.
08:03They established their alliance by a sumptuous cruise on the Nile.
08:07During which Cleopatra announced to wait for a child of Caesar,
08:10baptized Caesarion.
08:12However, the latter was never recognized by the Roman law.
08:16Although their relationship was hindered by Roman laws
08:19and the existing marriage of Caesar,
08:21Cleopatra spent nearly 18 months in Rome.
08:24The legitimate wife, Calpurnia, did not collapse for so long.
08:29Always present and loving,
08:30she closed her eyes on the humiliation imposed on her by her husband.
08:34The day before Caesar's assassination,
08:36Calpurnia had a nightmare where she saw him agonizing in her arms.
08:40The next morning, she begged him not to go to the Senate as he had planned.
08:44Upset by his trouble, he decided to give up.
08:48But Brutus showed up at his house
08:50and managed to convince him to ignore these sinister omens
08:53and to go there despite everything.
08:55The rest is history.
08:57As soon as Caesar disappeared,
08:59Cleopatra did not waste time and returned to Egypt,
09:02where she began a relationship with Marc Antoine,
09:04former ally of Caesar.
09:06As for Calpurnia,
09:08she gave all the archives of her deceased husband to Marc Antoine
09:11before locking herself in mourning, surrounded by his servants.
