@@badluck5647 They are fairly unique in this compared to a lot of the ancient cultures such as you said the Greeks, plus the Egyptians, Phoenicians and so on and it wasnt just their leaders. If you look at the tombs (Mary Beard's series on Odyssey on KZbin is fantastic) shows it was for everyone. They carved them literally like someone doing a portrait, showing them literally like a what they were, real people. When you look at them, compared to the Greeks you can truly say how much like us with their scars, odd shaped noses, warts and all they were just like how we are.

Disfiguring the face by smashing off the nose was a very common thing to do. It was not a strictly Roman phenomenon. The Sphinx lost it's nose the same way.

not really. modern politicians are just straight up gangsters with no souls. they hoover up money and power for the sake of it. politicians of the past often had to deal with the repercussions of their actions with things like revolutions and rebellions. most people blame Crassus for not being a great military leader and coveting wealth too much but nothing was ever said negative about his personal character. and that's a bright spot that the vast majority of modern statesmen can't lay claim to.

Marcus Licinius Crassus would have gotten even more Rich if he lived in the Modern world! Considering he was a Genius in Politics and Business!! Not to mention, as Plutarch and others have said, Marcus Licinius Crassus was VERY generous, so he could actually help Alot of the poorer people! 🙂

​@@dtice69 Marcus Licinius Crassus wasn't actually that bad in Military, (Aside from the Parthian expedition!) Crassus defeated the Slave rebels which everyone else couldn't, and he was a Major reason for Sulla's victory of the first Civil War. So actually he has more Wins than losses. I think the death of his son was the choking point for him, after his son died against the Parthians, Crassus was said to have been clouded by grief.

Oh darn, you mean the Brit with an almost exclusively English speaking audience isn't catering to the fractional percentage of his viewers? It's almost as if serving the base of your audience is good business. This isn't a TV show, and they don't have the budget, workforce, or time to create translated scripts for multiple languages. And if he does that for one language everyone speaking any other language is going to expect the same for their language. That's an awful lot of work for four people to crank out for one fifteen minute episode each week.
