In this video, we shall explore the most momentous event, which would lead to a negative feedback loop of bad events, that would eventually culminate in the Fall of the Western Roman Empire after 476 AD. How could it have come to that disaster, and what were the consequences?

• Ten rare opportunities...
📚 For this video, we made extensive use of information from the book "The Fall of Rome" by Bryan Ward-Perkins: amzn.to/3FXeDNg
A book that I can highly recommend.
📚 My favorite Novel of the late Roman Empire, "Julian" by Gore Vidal: amzn.to/3mZwOdJ
📚 BEST BOOKS ON HISTORY OF THE CITY OF ROME: 📚
1. "History of the City of Rome in the Middle Ages" by Ferdinand Gregorovius amzn.to/3yOvjEd
2. "Rome: Profile of a City, 312-1308" by Richard Krautheimer amzn.to/3yyChgp
3. "Rome: An Urban History from Antiquity to the Present" by Rabun Taylor amzn.to/322ClsZ
These are all excellent books if you are like me, absolutely fascinated by the transition of Rome from late antiquity to the early medieval period.
The wonderful background music is by Adrian von Ziegler: • Relaxing Roman Music -...
Consider also supporting his work, as his music is incredibly good, and contributes strongly to the atmosphere of the videos.

"Last I heard, the weather there has not improved since Roman times..." 😅

[@theicepickthatkilledtrotsk658]

As I said before, if Rome was united it could have easily defeated the invaders. But also, the problem of a lack of new recruits in the west needed to be fixed. I think they needed to find a way to instill the military virtues of old into the population or at least offer a desirable reward like guaranteed rights that elevate them above pseudo-serfs.

[@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77]

The most IRONIC part about this though is for the rest of history European countries would build palaces, make art, name themselves, and build languages ALL based on the Romans. To this day, their presence is honored & championed in museums, movies. History has a sense of humor haha.

[@flaviusstilicho1239]

If only I had seen how serious the crossing was...

[@09prichards]

Your voice is great for history lesson. Inquisitive and suspense making.

[@marcv2648]

The parallels to today are uncanny for anyone paying attention. What I find interesting is inability of history buffs to fully appreciate their own historic circumstances, even when they've seen this film before.

[@Uhtred-the-bold]

This is a criminally underrated channel

[@Augustus...]

"therefore it really was where the fate of the world was decided on those cold winter days of 406 AD" thinking about those words really shows how fickle history is,the future of an entire empire was sealed because of an exceptionaly cold winter

[@henrikpersson1962]

This reminds me of what is happening today in Europe with these massive immigration flows which we cannot handle.

[@romgtr]

The Roman Empire did survived and thrived to become a world wide empire through the Holy Roman Catholic Church. 😊

[@TitusVarus]

As a Celtic inhabitant of the British Isles with a love of Roman history, I can confirm that the weather here continues to be shit. Caesar had the right of it when he described the place as perpetually cloudy and wet.

[@LordWyatt]

Rip Aetius, Stilicho, and Majorianus 😔

[@paulcapaccio9905]

The subtle background music is poignant and perfect!

[@bioliv1]

Hey, Kings&Generals recently had a VERY informative video on the Feudal system, starting with the Coloni and emperor Diokletian, in effect making the Coloni into slaves.

[@BonanzaRoad]

Fascinating, insightful, informed perspective of the momentous decline of the Roman Empire.

[@billykotsos4642]

[@AG-er5vmTG]

I'm excited for the video delving deeper into the loss of martial vigour of the italic romans.

[@historyrhymes1701]

Another fantastic video! Say didn't the Bagaudae resist the germanic invaders quite vigorously. I remember originally reading about them from Brayan Ward- Perkins' monograph, where other than an anti roman rebel they were also given as an example of native resistance.

[@paulcapaccio9905]

Another ! Fantastico. Grazie. You’re the best
