Based on the AI picture of Julia, i understand why someone would like go exploit her..

Nice artworks, nice music, nice content - source? If real historical material and interpretation by historian, thank you!

Ack.😖 I'm paying for only listening to solo instrumentalists. I'm guessing Brahms?😬

Getting closer to 476 AD

Another excellent video. Love the gold shading in the artwork.

Tiberius was a sick bastard. Diddled around with little kids, calling them “his Minnows” then throwing off a cliff on the isle of Capri.

Super interesting to learn about the transition and consolidation of power under Tiberius. Great video! 🗡️

What are you a huge green bay packers fan?

I prefer the previous drawings The colours are too rich and distracts from the story!

Livia Drusilla was the most murderous of the matriarchs! She set the template for all diabolical wives of the emperors!

I like that green and gold color scheme. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🟢🟡 BTW, the blacks, whites, and grays contrast nicely with the splashes of color you add in each scene. 👨🏻‍🎨

Greens vs Golds

This story style isn’t as good as the older videos

👍👍👍

Many think that Livia poisoned Augustus.

IMPERATOR! it feels like ages since I've commented that lmao

What a great channel for a lover of history. If we don’t know it & understand it we’re doomed to repeat it.

As far as I’m concerned, Agrippa was the first true Emperor or Rome. Octavian would’ve never made without, Marcus. Julius Caesar knew this.

To me … he was a Co-emperor in all but name! There! I said it!

Such a good video

Is that Sian Phillips?

I really admire the way Germanicus handled the mutiny.

The way Aggrappina's sons were treated at Ceasar Augustus funeral reminds me how The Duke of Sussex was treated at his father, King Charles's coronation.

Wow great early insight into Sejanus. Excellent video.

Great channel, thank you very much

That the kindest of men, Jesus of Nazareth, and the craftiest, Augustus, walked the Earth simultaneously, what an Age bravo🙏

Drusilla, a much maligned name

I love the simplified art style

Thank you.

Really interesting. The politics of Rome was complicated 😉 The graphics look great 😘

Thank you so good.

👍👍👍

This is definitely where it gets interesting in the early Roman Empire. ⚔️

Good video

Oh boy, here comes Sejanus....

I love these videos!

Thank you

It is said that Varus became the victim of a smear campaign. Arguing that he faced a perfidious and 'bloodthirsty' enemy. That does not prove competence. Also ignored, the wanton massacre of the Usipetes by Cesar. Plutarch, over 400.000 dead. Gambling debts may have been a factor. And if Roman generals were such altruists, why had an Antony Cicero's tongue and hands nailed to the rostrum. Harped on, the fact that the barbarians occasionally run out of frogs for their sacrifices to Týr. Not that any religious motivation was required. The mob poured liquid gold into the buccal opening of a tax collector during the Ephesian Vespers. Similar story with diplomatic notes: the great king of Persia had the members of a Greek envoy mutilated (cut off noses, ears and other distal parts). Alexander had to settle them in an out of the way place. All in all, no shortage of 72 point headlines. I lost count on how often Arminius is branded a traitor. Nobody claims that he attended Plato's academy. Was Varus framed? Goading a taxman (which Varus essentially was) into demonstrating his not existing military mettle was a shrewd move, particularly for someone handicapped by barbarian brain size. A conflict existed between the conservatives (the Senate) and the populists (who advocated wealth redistribution at the expense of third parties, preferably disenfranchised). Vacated land was a common bargaining chip. Varus was associated with Augustus, a populist. The feuds of the 19th century, rife with lyric descriptions of that battle, should be dealt with in that time frame - including the one by von Platen whom Heine lampooned. Was Varus' son used as scapegoat? Probably not more so than anyone else in a world in which promotion depended in part on family connections. Even as Varus' son he was dealt far better cards than the average Roman (the people were occasionally granted a sacrifice). He certainly escaped proscription (wanted, dead or alive), the usual fate of losers in the late Republic. Death scene: even Saul fell on his sword (when his armor bearer was not up to the task). Arminius' makeshift alliance consisted of 5 tribes (out of a possible total of maybe 80). The wicker cages are usually attributed to the Celts. 'Varus fought in front of his troops.' There was no clear frontline if the Roman legions, caught on the march, were stretched out over a distance of 14 miles. No traitor was required to know when a Roman legion was must vulnerable. Maroboduus, whose kingdom had only been saved by the Illyrian uprising, died in Roman custody.

What a strange way to rewrite history and fan fiction. Germanicus was also a Claudian. His father was Tiberius’ brother. Yes, he was out with the legions, but that was also how Tiberius became famous. Tiberius retired in 6 BC, against Augustus’ wishes. He was made essentially Co-Princeps in 12AD, nearly 2 years before Augustus died. He was also married to Augustus’ only child against his will. He did adopt Germanicus and had him on the road to succession before he was murdered by Calpurnius Piso, whom he was feuding with. Only Tacitus attributes the murder to Tiberius and he was writing 100 years later during the reign of Trajan, long after the Julio-Claudians faded to memory.

That was awesome

This is some of the finest, straight to the point work done. I remember this channel beginings and how they developed their work every year. I hope you grow and have success here in youtube and overall.

Just subscribed good work ❤

Germanicus should have just marched south

T terrible graphics as all hairstyles look like Hollywood idol.

I have a question when did the leader of rome start calling themselves emporer was it somin tiberius decided to call himself or was there a specific date that Augustus was named emporer

👍👍👍

i got tiberius on my agrippina from a stripper one time lol

Interesting interpretation, caligula being a source of legitimacy for a revolt that was taken away makes more sense than the "they were shamed the boy they played with was removed" story Tacitus gives

It's amazing how fucked this family was and yet they somehow managed to keep control over the whole empire for longer than any other imperial family.
