History forgot to mention that he was a sub Saharan black😂😂😂

Another classic history from you. The sounds and your narration makes these so nice! Love gladiator stories. Thank you History Profiles

Marcus Aurelius governed well,except for his succession!

That he took safety measures in fight shows he knew he wasn't ish. He could not measure up to his dads legacy obviously.

🚽 thanks.

His father deserved MUCH better in an heir

You're the Best! Keep up the good work

Ah just another narcissist what a surprise.

I think a little part of what we know is exaggerated or plain damnatio memoriae, but even if only some of it is true ... let's just say I am glad I was not here yet when he was ruling lol

give him some credit for his impact on public health, he invented the Commode.

Bloody psycho

Love your content ❤❤❤

I'm here after reading Dandadan, he's an actual character in the story and looks like he is the final boss !!

Suggested reading "Child Of The Sun" by Kyle Onstott a fascinating fictional account of the reign of the boy emperor Elagabalus. Would make a great film.

Ooo let me guess, not black in real life.

Loved it. I am a student of history.

Liked and subscribed

Cant believe I've just clicked this, I've just started it now know he kills him 🤦‍♂️ what a fool i am ill finish this when I finish series mate 😂

Black people shouldn't be in movies period. There I said what the comments on this page was thinking but too scared to admit.

Macrinus from Algeria/numidia 🇩🇿 but why choosing a black men for an amazigh. We have black amazighs in algeria but the most of them are like me ( lighter/ caramel) skin tone.

Good video, interesting story.

Macrinus was Berber Algerian 🇩🇿 Amazigh and likely brown or white and glad that a great actor like Denzel Washington played that role

Septimus Severus is not the father of Karakala? are we getting things here mixed up 🤔?

Pope Bunnyface? Please research how to pronounce names before you make a video about them.

He wasn't sub-saharan african, so they got the wrong actor to play him.

Way too many adverts becoming unwatchable

Im Wondering how much Denzel got paid? Because I know this movie has to have had a OUTRAGEOUS BUDGET costumes, props Cgi, ACTORS EXTRAS, WOW!😮.

Excellent video!

I love your channel. Thank you.

Bernard cornwells the last kingdom book series is awesome. It’s historical fiction but pretty good. The last kingdom series is good too

The next thing is a black Jesus that i think not

All the Romans were black. Whites were in the caves during their the hills have eyes stuff

Accidentally poisoned by his wife ?

Fake history , full of Romanian propaganda, Chauvinistic biased nationalism for the Olah gypsies from Albania sheep herders..

Macrinus didn't last long as Emperor. The Severan dynasty was restored under Elagabalus and staggered on under his cousin, Alexander Severus until the praetorian guards got tired of him and executed the emperor and members of his entourage.

26:40 Macrinus was not a patriot who acted to save Rome. He conspired with Martialis to save his own skin and his position as the praetorian prefect. He had intercepted a dispatch sent to Caracalla by Julia Domna which accused Macrinus of corruption and abuse of power. Knowing the Tao of Caracalla, Macrinus moved before he could be removed and executed. He stoked the festering hatred which Martialis had for the emperor and encouraged him to commit regicide.

This movie was awesome just like me watching Highlander where Sean Connery was Egyptian he was great or watching the great Al Pacino play a Cuban exile in scarface or Carlito's way.

16:20 Known as the Edict of Caracalla. Passed in 212 AD, it gave Roman citizenship to all free born males in the empire. For the first time, Britons, Jews, Gauls, Spaniards and Arabs living within the confines of the empire could claim equal citizenship, just like the Italians born in Rome. This move raised the tax threshold or base and expanded the pool of men who could be recruited into the Roman army, (which had been decimated by civil wars and diseases such as malaria and the bubonic plague).

15:50 Caracalla increased the salary of the praetorian guard by 50 percent and caused inflation in the process. The silver content of the denarius was severely debased to meet the huge bonuses or payouts to them.

14:20 A damnatio memoriae was issued against Geta.

13:30 In their haste to dispatch Geta, the assassins even injured Julia Domna in the hand.

8:09 Modern day York. But the Ancient Romans preferred the name, Eboracum. Even present day London was referred to as Londinium.

0:22 The introduction gives the erroneous impression that Caracalla and Geta were born to the purple. They weren't. Severus was a ranking officer in the Roman army under one of the Antonine emperors, (Commodus or Marcus Aurelius) when Julia Domna had two sons for him.

then only way ill be watching the new movie is online (free)
