Rome's Hidden Medieval Castles

[@raffriff42]

Are there ever property disputes in Rome requiring lawyers to consult ancient records or stone markers?

[@666mrdoctor]

Usually all the property rights had a solid evolution since the Renaissance, and records before the middle age are practically zero so I'd say no.

[@bobloblaw10001]

Might makes right.. Totilla's destruction of Rome in the 6th century and supposed slaying of all male inhabitants was probably a pretty a real reset of land ownership. And subsequent conquest by many different groups. Much like the Norman conquest of England.. to the victor go the spoils.

I found your channels because I played too much Rome 2 total war and wanted to know more about these people, being greek myself and already knowing enough about classical Greece. You are doing some excellent work! Well done!

[@laurencejenner1127]

Thanks again Garrett. It’s always a joy to see another of your videos posted, even if I sometimes feel annoyed that you’re there (in Rome or wherever) and I’m not! But then I listen and am grateful for your insight and passion for classical history.

I don't think I'll ever grow tired of listening to Dr. Ryan explain Roman civilization to me.

Have walked past every one of these and not known what they are. Fascinating video as always. The Theatre of Marcellus is particularly interesting in person, always blows my mind to see the structure built on top of the Roman theatre.

yes please! we need more medieval Rome content on KZbin

[@FitzRabbits]

Great video. Enjoyed these insights of a period that often doesn't get the coverage that it deserves. Thanks.

[@itmartinwho]

I really liked this video, wish it was longer

[@t.vanoosterhout233]

Endlessly fascinating city, thx for showing yet another facet of it!

[@daveweiss5647]

Always great content bro! Thanks!

[@coastdweller69]

you've got a new sub here - enjoying the short content and information as well as the longer videos - nice channel!

Interesting, these towers must have been as tall as the ones in Bologna before the earthquake

[@samianssi]

The many layers of Rome are very interesting. A layman tourist misses these things as we walk by. Thank you

[@paulkoza8652]

Thanks for revealing new things to see in Rome on my next visit. One of my favorite excursions is to Tivioli. Not to Hadrian's villa but to Villa d'Este. Every time I'm in Rome, I try to make it out there. Garrett is about the ancient, but I'm about the later periods of EU history and Tivoli is hard to beat.

Greta video . The bricks used. Were these also recovered from ancient ruins, along with the marbles.

[@alexgratzaTV]

Great video, thanks

[@DrPepperone]

I love this! Thanks. I used to go to high school in Rome’s city center and you’re helping me learn about buildings I saw every day

[@kmvoss]

Thank you for this video. :)

Man, 1348 was a bad year.

[@nullifye7816]

A really, REALLY bad year. I mean, my God.

[@larsrons7937]

This was interesting indeed. I had heard of these sort of castles but never knew where to look for them. Thanks for the tour.

[@glennzoo]

The fascist clearances sound really interesting, could you make a video about that sometime?

[@Lee_Enfield95]

There is a museum (I think heading towards Largo Argentina) that is about the medieval remains of Rome…. Not much but plenty to see.

[@elliottferris5929]

The name is Crypta Balbi not far from Largo Argentina.. but alas it is closed now for renovation.

[@maydarwiche5816]

You should be visiting Baalbek one day when the situation in Lebanon gets better as Baalbek houses two of the largest and grandest Roman temples, Bacchus and Jupiter.

[@atlantic_love]

Should be titled "Rome-inspired medieval castles".
