Roman Emperors - Real Faces - Crisis of the Third Century - part 6

[@dinos9607]

Aurelian! At last! One of the best Emperors working in one of the most crucial moments for the Empire.

[@MarcusAgrippa07]

Maximinus Thrax (correct name) was the first of the "Soldier Emperors": a gigantic (above 2 m tall), brute military, from barbarian family. His strong, huge face does justice to historical accounts.

[@susieq2806]

Their real faces show a much better representation of them. The busts don't show their humanity. You are a great artist👍

[@K.V.H.]

Man, Aurelian got shafted big time! Rome would have FLOURISHED under his command, had he not been assassinated. Loving the videos!!

[@robertonarducci4225]

Finally I can meet Decius, Claudius and Aurelian face to face

[@danicornea]

Emperor Aurelian....a wise man retreating from Dacia in 275...south of Danube...still not enough to stop the rapid decline of the Empire....an Empire with sand legs...

[@jonathancummings6400]

Aurelian is Rome's self destruction at it's most disastrous, he was a very great Emperor in potential, in some ways SUPERIOR to Diocletian. So when he was killed, Rome lost a major asset.

[@RexGalilae]

The History of Rome podcast put it best, "When it comes to cumulative career value, long reigning emperors like Trajan, Hadrian, Diocletian and Augustus are the obvious choices but when it comes to peak value, boy is Aurelian peak value exemplified!" He didn't live long enough to make the same level of impact as emperors who ruled for >=20 years but what he achieved in those 5 years were out of this world

[@jonathancummings6400]

@@RexGalilae One wonders how history would have differed if he had ruled more than ten years? What would he have accomplished with 5+ more years? Surely impressive achievements.

Probus was a good emperor in every way, he left good memories in all classes, both senate and plebs, for his works and actions, and even those who killed him regretted having done so by erecting a monument in his honor. That has happened very few times in history.

[@kenmilne5987]

I would wager that most of this characters did not die in a retirement village.

[@elenagasper571]

uh no, I think the oldest/longest lived Roman Emperor was 60? Might be wrong on that but that is very old for the time, emperor or not. I think he died in battle

[@jl696]

Not shown in this video but the next one in line was Diocletian who started the Dominate. He retired after 20 years or so and happily grew tomatoes in what would become modern day Croatia. One of the few Emperors who died peacefully in the 3rd Century.

With all of the assassinations, it must have been hard to keep up with the orders! "Ah geez, another head just rolled in! Who was this one?! Didn't we already have a Phillip?! When the hell did HE become an Emperor?! I swear just yesterday we were hailing a Gordian. No, not THAT Gordian, the other one!"

[@juliusnepos6013]

Most of these emperors were already sither powerful people (senators) or high ranking army officials so it is likely they already had one before they become emperors

Tribonius appears to have had some facial deformities, at least by the view of his bust. But, his lifelike view was quite normal. I think the sculptor was very unkind in his depiction.

[@colbystearns5066]

@@juliusnepos6013 Also they idealized the emperors in life and after death, like with Augustus for example, especially the Prima Porta sculpture made just after he died. Even when he was older, his sculptures were still made to look young and handsome as a means of displaying his eternal, divine nature.

[@Znanaable]

I would like to see Aspasia of Miletus, the wife of Pericles, I know it is ancient Greece and not part of this particular historical era you discuss, however, if the project evolves into other historical periods classical Athens has a lot of figures that would be interesting to see coming to life.

Tacitus looks pretty chubby on some of his coins. He also looks young on the chubby ones, but was like 74 or something when in power. I like him more the way you did him but I wonder if he might not have been so thin. He was awesome, I wish he had lived longer. Great emperor underrated because of his short reign.
