Sallust's Moral History Of The Ancient Roman Republic

[@Hagiastheite]

Thanks for yet another great video. Sallust is one of my favorite grumpy Latins.

[@MoAnInc]

You’re very welcome ✨

[@WorthlessWinner]

I wish his histories survived, the two short histories that survive are really well written but cover such a brief period

[@augustsonseventy42]

- Sallust accused of extortion and plundering - Caesar: *sweats nervously*

[@posie861]

First of all although probably not the most important thing, your hair looks incredible today! 😂Your channel is so informative and fascinating, and the level of quality of all your content is extraordinary! Thank you so much 🙂 🥰

[@MoAnInc]

Thank YOU so much!!! 🥹🖤✨

[@posie861]

🙂

[@GentlemanArcher67]

Nicely done, Erica. Another excellent video. The historical and chronological context is much appreciated. I do hope that you do a deep dive into Sulla. I would suggest including Marius in that analysis, or perhaps dedicating a stand-alone video to both of them. Keep them coming.

[@eugenezenzen]

Thanks so much for the links!

[@TheDigitalStoic]

Great video, you got a new sub! I would suggest next making a video about the life and legacy of Cato the Younger, the personification of the Mos Maiorum himself. imo the greatest Roman who ever lived!

[@healthyapostasy8122]

You know, Erica, I don't know much about Roman history (especially, pre-Empire). I watch your videos, if I'm honest, because of your spunky, upbeat personality, your diction, your ability to articulate, your grammar, and especially your love for ancient history. It's all quite contagious. I always walk away from the screen in a better mood after watching one of your vids. (I better go do my gardening now. See me gardening as a just Roman might have?!! Sallust would be proud of me!) Thanks.

[@Almedius76]

Fantastic presentation...I'm glad I found this place!

[@MoAnInc]

Thank you!

[@GLeibniz1716]

Always a great way to start the day here in America! thanks have my Sallust on my desk next on my reading list Good day!

[@Fer-De-Lance]

Thank you for sharing Erica. I finished reading Uncommon Wrath: How Caesar and Cato’s Deadly Rivalry Destroyed the Roman Republic, by Josiah Osgood a few months ago and this was an excellent addition from what I learned from that.

[@djparn007]

Thank you, Erica. ❤❤❤

[@MoAnInc]

Thank you for tuning in!!

[@AnthonyGentile-z2g]

Beauty AND brains...like Heddy Lamar!

[@JohnSaxon-vw5vi]

What’s the best way to find out more about him please as I don’t know much love ❤️ your Aussie family friend John xxx

[@tyrson4331]

Sallust is a great read. Couldn’t put Catilines War down

[@tdoran616]

I like how you explain things

[@MoAnInc]

:)))

[@DNS-FRANK09]

It's probably the best thing I'm gonna watch at 1 in the morning ❤😊

[@MoAnInc]

Oh my god thank you but please sleep 😂

[@DNS-FRANK09]

@MoAnInc I get off work really late at like 11pm so I don't usually go to bed til like 2am 😅.

[@Mulambdaline1]

I am just a regular guy who fell in love with the ancient and classical world when I was in high school. I’d like to think of myself as highly educated in this aspect. But again after watching this great and well informed video, I know I am not. 😂 I had never heard of Sallust. So thank you for educating me.

[@MoAnInc]

And now you HAVE heard of Sallust!! 🤩

[@aesoptherhapsode]

Absolutely love your work, Erica. Where can I find the series these videos serve as intros to?

[@MoAnInc]

I’ll be updating all the series I’ve done context videos for starting in the new year :) I wanted to see who you guys were most drawn to, so I’ll be tackling the texts whose contexts videos got the most views and use that as a guide for future channel uploads 🤓

[@aesoptherhapsode]

@MoAnInc Thank you! I'm looking forward to it

[@MaBer-67391]

Emperor Claudius wrote in his book, I Claudius, that Rome suffered from the "Punic Curse" after Rome promised not to destroy Carthage, and later destroyed Carthage anyway. Carthage was a major trading partner and competitive rival in all the Mediterranean, along with the fact that Carthage had venereal diseases that were then exposed to the Roman population. Claudius wrote that Cato was the primary agitator for destruction of Carthage. Claudius also wrote that Cato was greedy, cheap, and cruel.

[@Liquidsback]

Could you cover Cassius Dio?

[@MoAnInc]

Abso-fucking-lutely I can 🫡

[@carolinasiqueira752]

When I was studying Latin in Buenos Aires, we kept talking about the "conjuración de Catalina". Spanish is not my first language and I had never encountered that word before and it sounds like conjuring. I thought Catalina was some sort of priest/seer for longer that I care to admit. It turns out , it means conspiracy.

[@DomingoAviles-j1v]

Pedant and long-time Latin teacher here: Isn't it "homo novus"? Sorry, and thank you for this video.

[@antonivsfortis]

I think I found heaven..

[@jakenoises]

cant wait for "the return" are you excited?

[@auroramalloy_4]

Please listen to epic the music it is based on the Odyssey it deviate from some of the actual material but I have been obsessed with it since August and the reason I have stared to dive back deep into mythology stuff and has convinced me to get a physical copy of the Odyssey so I can read

[@mikeramsay5964]

Just curious, how was the year stated back then? I'm sure it wasn't BC or BCE.

[@Aegnor84]

A.U.C. (ab urbe condita), from the founding of the city (of Rome). For instance the year 50 BC would be the year 704 AUC.

[@Adsper2000]

They would also often refer to specific years by the consuls that served in that year. So for example, 60 BCE could be called “the year of the consulship of Lucius Afranius and Quintus Metellus Celer”.

[@boogerie]

John Milton was a fan of Sallust

[@Felix-z2r]

Do you have an interest in the period from 350 AD to 535 AD ?

[@MaBer-67391]

Maiorianus is a KZbinr who's focused on late Roman history. He would have something on that time period.

[@Felix-z2r]

@@MaBer-67391 Many thanks !

[@WorthlessWinner]

I find the troop movement stuff in other authors boooooooooooooooooring so Sallust is one of my faves for leaving that out for the most part xD

[@Adorablewheat]

React to The Return trailer pls

[@EinnoTmI]

How come only the new peeps get a hello? 😅 kidding. 😂 👋hi.

[@MoAnInc]

The regulars get a “what’s up” because we’re already friends 😏 The newbies get a more formal hello hahaha 🤓

[@EinnoTmI]

@MoAnInc Oohhh we get a What's up. Got it. 😊 I'm going to call myself MoAnies. What's up, MoAnies? 😜

[@Hellserch]

I am 60 years of age, there, I said it and I’m getting a strange Epstein vibration from some of the comments made by men of my vintage. Focus on what she’s saying instead of sending barely concealed marriage vows. Sermon done.

[@chasx7062]

Reminds of America? heheh

[@jomamma1750]

Just a heads up, it's BC, not BCE. That term literally makes zero sense (simply apply basic logic 101). Hint: you can't have a "Christian Era" without Christ. Oh, and calling this time period a "Common Era" implies that it is common to or contemporaneous to what, exactly? Easy logic if you actually think. Fyi this term was ultimately derived from Critical Theory, aka Critical Race Theory, which was written at the Frankfurt School in Germany circa 1935 at the request of the German "Leader" at the time. Probably wisest to avoid that particular individuals legacy, No? Nice channel, btw. P.S. Remember, when it comes to Sallust, who he was. He was a friend to Julius Caesar, the General who destroyed the Republic and turned it into a Dictatorship. He was thrown out of the Senate and then later charged with looting and plundering. His words are quite, tainted, at best.

[@fduranthesee]

not into Rome, this just was in my recommended (lol) but the fact it's _a girl talking about History_ which is rare and that this channel is called "Moan Inc" (abbreviation, yes, but it doesn't make it any less funny) so I guess she got me

[@MoAnInc]

Welcome 🤓

[@kirbycairo]

It very difficult to take any of those Roman "statesman" seriously when they speak of morality or ethics, especially one who praised Julius Caesar.

[@laisphinto6372]

Because the Other Side IS so much better with goddamn metellus scipio ...

[@Bakarost]

If you wear no make up for one video, youll still look great
