Publius Villius Tappulus, Consul 199 BCE

The first in the long history of his gens to achieve the consulship, Villius was forced to spend his time as a consular commander restoring morale before becoming something like an expert in Greek affairs. Villius was also given the unenviable task of hammering out an agreement with Antiochos III to prevent war, but once again, unforeseen circumstances sabotaged his efforts. I argue that Villius' actions and lost opportunities were actually deeply impactful.

Everytime I see a new video of yours, I smile from ear to ear. You just made my morning!

[@alanpennie8013]

These videos on Rome's wars with The Hellenistic kingdoms mesh nicely with Bret Devereaux's series on the same topic.

[@2Sor2Fig]

Always a good day when the Historian graces us with his wit.

Do you plan on doing a lecture about Livy himself? I am trying to find a book solely on him but cannot find anything like that.

[@ThersitestheHistorian]

That is something that I am strongly considering.

[@KoenBoyful]

"Promosm" 🤦

[@shastasilverchairsg]

Question: Did ancient Roman surgeons know to wash their hands and sterilise their instruments before performing any operations? (Under normal conditions, in a battlefield it would of course be harder to get clean water and such.) Or in all of human history did literally no one realize its importance before that 19th century doctor dude found out?

[@tomsoyer5639]

By the 19th century they already had very decent microscopes and they knew of bacteria for a long time.

[@tomsoyer5639]

As far as the Romans were concerned things they couldnt see didnt exist.
