I have only ever heard the word “donatives” used in these videos.

I am reading Guy de la Bedoyere’s book Gladius. Highly recommend!!

They were in a Gordian knot!

Maximian and Maxentius are arguing so Constantius and Constantine are vibing. Constantius: we chillin' with mah son. (Technically, *he* really missed his son)

If the Historia Augusta is so problematic, why do people always mention it?

Diocletian: I should have killed you! Georgios: And I can make a dragon out of you!!!

Caligula: ey Neps, let's fight!!! (Cue the waves on the sea and seagulls cawing) Every Legion: 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Imagine if Caracalla is voiced by Eren Yeager in a most historically accurate way: Caracalla: (to his Praetorians) kill all the supporters of Geta. Tatakae... Tatakae!

His death might be hilarious but getting struck by a lightning is the rarest. Guess Iovi gives a *fuck you* on Carus

Sorry, but some of the pronunciations are just odd.

Went to Trajan’s markets this past November!

great video, thanks from brazil

Go all the way to Constantine palailogos

woke avant la lettre..

I think he was thinking he should have gotten to Domitian before he died…

Was just in Rome…fascinating to learn more about its ancient past!

Seems pretty smash able to me

The wine God! I love humans

Decades ago I read a novel of historical fiction about Elegabalus called Emperor of the Sun , never dreaming it was based on a real person and events !

An extraordinary person. I don’t think most people can comprehend how crazy it was that an 18-year-old kid willingly descended into the snake pit that was Rome after Caesar’s assassination. That he emerged alive is incredible enough, but he actually succeeded in securing ultimate power for himself and his family. Again, an extraordinary person.

🇮🇷🫵😂

John 14:6 (KJV) Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Amazing that a 2000 year old story sparks fear, and homo/trans phobia in people who supposedly live in the 21st century, but actually have 19th century attitudes 😂

My understanding is that Nero actually helped during the fire and afterwards.

I do love the Roman history but I'll be honest to you they are very psychopathi

When I was 19 years old, I bought, in a drugstore\ genaral goods store in south Georgia (USA), a book entitled "Child of the sun," which was a novelized telling of this emperor. I was still in my "ancient Rome" period, and bought the book based on its cover. When I started reading it, well, it wasn't really a shock (I was trying to be "worldly" and sophisticated to admit to being shocked😉), but, I certainly was surprised. I finished reading it and while not great literature, it was interesting.😊

THIS EMPIRE WILL HAUNT ME

Knob-gobblus

i want to be hedrian😢❤

sounds more like AGP than true trans

This is way better than watching gladiator two

He was a kurd but kurds dont kmow their history😂

The fact that we have had the truth kept from us, about the great heights Greeks and other groups, like Varangians ( Vikings) , Slavic groups, Celts, Saxons, …and more, within the Greek, Christian, Roman Empire reached, …. is a scandal. There is over a thousand years of Christian Roman history, which was dominated by everything Greek. However that wasn’t the only influence, and Greeks were far from the only influential group of people within the christian Roman Empire, led by glittering Constantinople. But just as much as, if not more, than the pagan Roman civilisation was dominated by all things Greek, so was the Christian Roman Empire, …the longest running empire in world history. By the way, there was NEVER a Byzantine empire, nor a separate empire called western Roman,…nor a separate empire called eastern Roman. There was always a western, and eastern part,…of the ONE united, Roman Empire. In 476 AD, only the city of Rome fell, but the capital of the Christian, Roman Empire, already moved a century earlier to Constantinople, and either way within a century later Rome was retaken again into the one United empire, which naturally became ore and more, dominated by all things Greek, as the empire grew older.

Everyone should support the SPQR historian channel, they are the only ones who do full biographies of every emperor in order (except insignificant caesars) and we want them to continue!!! Hopefully they get a real human narrator like the last one, he was really engaging! Best of luck

I dont get it, isn't he trans? So would he truly be a femboy or is he a femboy because physically he couldn't be a girl due to there not being HRT and thus not having there be an opportunity to change your sex. (And yes im using sex because technically having breast is a female sex charadteristic and if you pump yourself with estrogen for your body to have female, you are technically changing your sex characteristics. Im not going to fight anyone in this comment section, if anyone here lacks biology and wants to argue, i will not take you seriously)

He is mentioned in the Major-General Song from the Pirates of Penzance by Gilbert & Sullivan.

Lucius: now who is this guy anyway? Alexander Severus: just a degenerate emperor.

Was just in Rome and walked part of the Appian Way. Pretty cool.

I’ve seen Porta Nigra in person and it is amazing.

I love history videos that have no constant, dramatic background music.

Aurelian, Probus and Marcus Aurelius - sometimes Rome has exceptional emperors

Ave Divus Augustus

There are still many beautiful Roman cities in Algeria such as Tebessa, Souk Ahras, Tipaza and the list is endless.

Expanding the Empire from Scotland to Iraq. Arguably the greatest emperor of all time.

That was a crazy 2 years 79-81 A.D. sheesh

2:37 it’s cruel to a child to give them that much undeserved power. You can see why he would develop into a simple and egocentric being placed so far above others.

Brilliant 👍👍👍

Next time we'll have Constantius Chlorus!

4:28 the Lego Yoda death scream LMAO
