If only Constantine had put an end to the republic's facade and adopted an absolutist monarchy with a clear line of succession the course of history would have been different. Republic is for city states, not empires.

[@John_Pace]

And remember Constantine is a SAINT in the Christian faith. ha... ha... ha... Shows you that politics and advancing the Christian faith is more important than true saintly values, what hypocrisy from Rome and Constantinople.

[@Muramasa1794]

I think of Rome every damn day man ❤️

If Julian had lived, maybe we would all be going to Mars temples instead of churches today.

Ironically, it was Constantine the greatest artifact for the destruction of the Roman Empire. The battle of the bridge Mavius killed the flower of the Roman army (on both sides). From that moment on the empire was completly reliant on mercenaries. The sons of Constantine simply picked up the pieces.

greed had knocked out the great empire

[@compatriot852]

Sucession seems to be an issue that Rome constantly had issues with. Constantine was just one part in a long series of great rulers who failed at this aspect

[@christophera556]

One of the biggest problem of the constantinium triumphant was the three surviving sons of Constantine were all young twenty something year olds ,the problem of twenty something year olds running a country or in the case of the Roman empire is a twrnty something year olds dont have the experience or maturity to run a empire or country. To run a country or empire take maturity and experience something that most young people lack and the case of the three surviving sons of Constantine was no different.

Not only the Romans... one of the first films that I saw was "Ran" (inspired by "King Lear"), and both histories show how to divide the territory among your sons, and they will kill each other and lose the kingdom...

[@lerneanlion]

If this is not karma of Constantine the Murderer, I do not know what is.

[@FrostbitexP]

Way too heavy use of AI shit in this video lol

[@lesliea7394]

This video is simply fabulous. Very educational and family flow chart was extremely helpful. This is a great holiday gift for all supporters and subscribers of this channel. Thank you Maiorianus and happy holidays!

[@vaevictis5878]

Can you please do a video on Marcellinus of dalmatia? I want to know more about him.

[@anthonydefex777]

nice coverage of all that drama

[@Constantine_Bush]

Hannibalianus and Constantia had a daughter called Constantia,as well.

[@billmiller4972]

They were locked in into a unsustainable situation. Each potential successor to the Throne was in danger of being killed by other contenders. Thus they tried to kill the others first, thus nobody was safe.

[@blueviper85]

I wonder how differently things would have turned out if Crispus had become emperor. It might be a good idea for a video.

[@emamag6455]

Do you have a video about Siagrius? I really don't know anything about him except he was deposed by the Franks.

[@jakegarvin7634]

I believe this entire episode could be described "Crispus' Revenge"
