U r such a tourist

I love to play this videos as a background while I do my chores

I really thought they fight to death! Also, woman gladiators? What??????

Great insights about Ancient Rome!

I really enjoy this interview format between Francesca and Alexander. Its a great way to present intriguing questions and dispel many falsehoods about Roman history. Thank you for producing this.

Sounds similar to California wild fires

"They had British accents." "They wore lorica segmentata in 300 BC." "They were jealous of Greece." "They only knew testudo formations." "They used great flaming fireballs on their wooden ships."

Never thought I'd see the day a historian in a nike sweat talks about ancient rome 😂.. Cool

Nothing to do with Rome, but that lady is really pretty 😍

Not only who wrote a history but also issues with translation from. The original language.

I love Massimo!! It’s so important to get history right 🤩

Loved this!

This is why I am so conflicted about Hollywood depictions of ancient cultures; particularly ancient Rome. Such cinematic portrayals are rife with distortions and inaccuracies, and the viewership of such films are often uncritical. Therefore, they consume such content with the mistaken belief that what is on the screen is a faithful rendering of history. Yet, at the same time, I am glad these films exist. For it is these films, however historically inaccurate that they are, that have inspired many people to take a deeper look into history.

Very interesting!!

en dos semanas estaremos en rione monti...................GRAN VIDEO MUCHAS GRACIAS.................SEgunda ve q nos quedamos en monti.......................limache, chile.

Women are from Venus, men are from Mars.

Tough question i would go to the day of cana and see Hannibals great victory

The Vestal Virgins and the Roman empresses were truly fascinating. Yet, it seems the importance they played in shaping history is often overlooked. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you, Francesca and Alexander, for giving us insight into Ancient Rome that is not included or often distorted by movies and TV. On that topic, if I could ask Alexander a question, I would ask what movie or TV series most faithfully depicts Ancient Roman life?

Giving feedback of the wives performance😱.... my jaw literally dropped! brutal 🙈

So helpful!!

I think I saw that guy in a tv show or something, can you ask him?

The story of Vestal Virgins is one of my all time favorites!

👍

Benissimo ❤

The best caffe in bella Roma! Their Maritozzi is sublime!

Soooo interesting!

So amazing story telling dear Francesca

This was actually a great video. Thanks for sharing

Hi everyone, Thanks for watching!

Thank you, as always, for this interesting presentation on the differing ways in which beauty has been portrayed throughout history, and across cultures. Given the subjectivity of beauty and how its standards forever change, often from one extreme to another, it is often helpful to always temper ones ideas of beauty with what is healthy verses just simply conforming to the latest fad. Using the yardstick of health as ones guiding principle, you can protect yourself from being seduced by the destructive extremes often peddled by the media.

amazing ending!!! enjoyed every second of this video

I love hearing this kind of tips! ❤

Botticelli the legend!!!

You're not ugly. You're just born in the wrong era.

Thank you for sharing this pills of knowledge!

I still remember the first time I saw the Birth of Venus. I cried it was so incredibly beautiful and moving.❤Stunning video

I remember the first time I saw this painting in the Uffizi Museum in Florence, I literally shed a tear! True definition of Beauty❤

Best movie of all time! ❤

Still just murder

I love the analogy of how we in modern times, looking at a visual spectacle in a movie theater, in many ways mirrors the insatiable desire for action that those living in ancient Rome had. It was this desire that caused them to gravitate to the gladiatorial games in the same way we flock to the movie theaters. It is not just entertainment. It is a form of catharsis from the humdrum of our day to day existence. That was an excellent observation. The first Gladiator film is one of my all time favorite films. I plan on seeing Gladiator II sometime this week. Your historical commentary just has me more excited for the experience.

Thank you for doing this informative coverage of the Colosseum right at the release of Gladiator II. The timing is perfect!

Great work, Massimo! ❤

Yesss Massimo!!!!! Your number 1 fan right here! 🎉

Such a great video 👌🏽

Great story! Love it

Caravaggio is my favorite painter! Can you make more videos about him? I really like the way you guys tell stories👏🏻
