[@extraflaky49]

ditto!

[@sushidawgz]

Marvelous episode. I love the explanation for the origins of the word traitor.

[@ivanjelenic5627]

Great episode! Thanks!

[@Isthmus-s1v]

a wonderful episode!

16:49 "people who come up against Diocletian - they all seem to come to *_grisly ends!_* ..." True of Alexander the Macedonian in his last years too 🙈🙀😞 Even Aristotle's nephew got the chop! (They were outspoken in ancient Greece! ) Incidentally, I don't see the Alexander podcast on KZbin. Am wondering if its here, somewhere ... lurking.

My grandma is Croatian & she thinks that Diocletian, the guy responsible for the largest & bloodiest official persecution of Christians in the Roman Empire, was a good Croatian Catholic boy. 😹

[@robertcottam8824]

And that Magdeburg was a jolly good laugh, presumably.

Going deep, going hard 😀

[@charlesfrith]

Legends 👍

[@p123-i9s]

About the Emperor Diocletian, late Roman Emperor.

[@ionutpaun9828]

Excellent episode. I think there is a mistake at the end: Constantine was the son of Constantius, not his brother.

[@d.c.8828]

I would like a deeper dive on Croatia proper.... 🇭🇷

[@iamaxhctiw4174]

Saaaame

[@j0nnyism]

Diocletian would definitely like the ice cream sold in his palace. That’s one thing I do know

[@MrLoverboy29]

As a Croatian, I wished this was more to do with Croatia. The episode was informative but for this to be what you chose to talk about is a bit concerning

[@edwardzizic7218]

I'm Croatian, and my family is from Solin...family house is still in Solin. Accurate description of history, pre establishment of the Croatian Kingdom.

[@edwardzizic7218]

And my 88 yr old man still loves growing cabbage....he emigrated to Sydney, Australia back in 1966

[@adri001]

Incredible how you love to come on your holidays to us prasants from Croatia 😂😂😂

[@carveraugustus3840]

Yes love the late Empire, real shit show.

[@ciano9535]

Shoulda done Auralian he actually saved it from collapse diocletian just kept it going after

[@Terinije]

To be fair, people back then really didn't have a firm grasp of economics. That's a much more modern thing.

[@joejohnson6327]

To be fair, there's still no such thing as having a firm grasp of economics. 😅

[@AB-yx4tr]

I wonder how Historians can resemble Croatians and Serbs with Roman Time.They know that they came in 4 Century. If the Illyicum Soldiers had an Ethnicity they are Albanians 🇦🇱, but British have a little bit Rasist Opinion about them

THE CROATIAN SHIELD ALWAYS SAVE THE WESTERN WORLD

[@ktom5262]

It's ridiculous that two adult, professional historians laugh idiotically at litter or poop jokes, like dumb teenagers.
