I FUCKING LOVE OBSCURE LATE ROMAN REPUBLIC POLITICAL FIGURES

[@joeshmoe8345]

Thanks a bunch for sharing this with us Big Dog!

[@MatthewLum11]

Thank you so much for turning your attention to the later years of the Republic. There are many interesting characters during this period, especially once Julius Caesar is assassinated. ⚔️

[@TheOne-er7nk]

What he's killed? Christ, have you ever heard of a spoiler alert?

[@alanpennie]

​@@TheOne-er7nk No, no! He's fine.

I just found your channel the other day and I just have to say that I'm incredibly impressed by your knowledge and speaking ability. Thank you so much for creating these videos!

[@_pawter]

Informative, well paced and well delivered. Thanks so much!

[@theomnisthour6400]

One of the unsung little messiahs of history, who stood by the laws and traditions of a great but flawed Republic - hoping for reform, not destruction to build back better

[@yurialbertoironico4907]

Thanks for the video

[@alanpennie]

Sad that his career was so overshadowed by Caesar's. And interesting to find out what became of The Allobroges after that Catalinarian brouhaha.

[@njb1126]

Thersites we need some presidential impressions, I was just looking at your video on W and you do a good job with him.

[@darrylforsythe8924]

Thank you for so many uploads recently ❤ also unrelated but would you ever consider mirroring your uploads to odysee, you just need to make an account and it will sync with your youtube uploads automatically. You're one of the few creators I keep coming back to youtube to watch so I'd love to continue watching you on there.

[@joeydelrio]

would you please consider doing a lecture on Alcibiades. there is not a decent one on all of youtube, we need it!

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

Sure, I have plenty of thoughts on Alcibiades.

[@joeydelrio]

@@ThersitestheHistorian thank you Thersites

[@WorthlessWinner]

Didn't Lucullus have to wait outside the city for 3 years before he got his triumph too?

[@theomnisthour6400]

I'm surprised you didn't explore the connection to the Pomptine Marshes

[@thomaseriksen6885]

Any Byzie stuff in the works?

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

I am thinking of doing videos on Manuel Boutoumites and Taticius from the First Crusade era.

[@henkstersmacro-world]

[@TrajGreekFire]

Still waiting for Constantine IX but Rome is Rome

[@gregmiller9710]

...that's Byzantine sir...

[@TrajGreekFire]

@@gregmiller9710 wow seeing that on this channel is a new one

[@WorthlessWinner]

@@TrajGreekFire - rome died in the crisis of the third century

[@TrajGreekFire]

@@WorthlessWinner then who was Diocletian

[@yurialbertoironico4907]

He was greek, not roman.

[@billychops1280]

Hey Thersites, what are your thoughts on the theory that Christianity weakened Rome? I personally do believe it caused several issues which resulted in disaster. But many think that it’s an unimportant change. So again what do u think?
