[@ancientsight]

It's nice to see this kind of reaction after so many weeks of work!

[@ZachRULES96]

@@ancientsight do you have videos from earlier periods on other channels?

[@ancientsight]

@@ZachRULES96 No, I have a french secondary channel with a few videos but nothing outside of this historical period

La vidéo est super bien, le montage dynamique, c'est super compréhensible, malgré mon niveau d'anglais pas très élevé, et très claire Bref j'ai adoré +1 abo

[@ancientsight]

Merci beaucoup ! Nous envisageons aussi lancer une chaîne francophone dans laquelle seront publiées les mêmes vidéos. Si cela se réalise, je passerai une annonce via cette chaîne

[@ryu6698]

[@flaviusjconstantius]

What program do you use for your maps?

[@ancientsight]

I use Adobe Photoshop. If you look for free alternatives for your project, Gimp and Paint.net will also get the job done.

[@flaviusjconstantius]

@@ancientsight thank you!!

[@alessandrogini5283]

Alexander severus Is underrated. .if he lived longer , sassanid could be destroyed

[@causantinthescot]

Gallienus: Let me destroy it if I restored Rome in 280AD... I will sack the way to Gedorsia!

[@causantinthescot]

3:22 In 221 years later, Anthemius was lived long to see himself was another Decius...... RIP TRAJANVS DECIVS (201-251)

[@arthur-yq4ic]

carus was hit by lightning

[@ancientsight]

Indeed that is one of the possibilities but that is not certain.

[@anthonydefex777]

Diocletian put a pause on the crisis of the 3rd century, After he retired, the crisis continued. You need to re-edit this video to add the trumpet sound effects for each usurpation/elevation/promotion/coronation and add the crown icon. I think the crisis began earlier than 222, with the elevation of Commodus, the gladiator emperor.

[@ancientsight]

I may reedit the 3 Diocletian videos in one later. This one is getting old

[@ancientsight]

For me, the Marcommanic wars under Marcus Aurelius were already a precursor to the crisis

[@anthonydefex777]

@@ancientsight That's fine too

[@juliencaugnon8418]

First

[@TGeoMin]

Diocles is a Greek name.

[@ancientsight]

I agree

[@TGeoMin]

@@John-PaulHunt-kx2ee Diocles means fame of Zeus, Κλέος του Διός. It is a Greek name. Learn Greek before commenting on ancient Rome or ancient Greece, it will raise your understanding from 10% to 90%.
