Hey, the copyright issue was a 3rd party thing that happened. Vlogging Through History went through that issue

[@andyserri]

Yeah. He even had to add VTH into a white list or something that stops them from striking his videos.

Food shortage occurs. "Maybe the gods will be merciful if I sacrifice one of my children?" Less mouths to feed. "Oh cool, it worked."

Ah, the Thanos approach to preventing poverty.

[@BlueButterFlyXOXO]

Oh bro you're in for a treat. The Punic Wars by Oversimplified is one of my favorite videos of his ever!

To give everyone else context, when Caesar and his men crossed a river and the Helvetii noticed the Six Roman Legions close to them and asked them to let them through to the bridge Caesar sent a message to the effect of, "Wait there I'll think about it." A week went pass in silence. Finally Caesar sent another message stating they couldn't at which time the Helvetii discovered the Romans had secretly created a 28 kilometer line of defenses in front of the river.

Man, I probably would’ve never discovered this channel if not for your content, but seeing how well edited, funny, and even educational it is, I’ve definitely gotta check more out!

[@tomseppanen2316]

I hope you also do reactions on unbiased history of rome videos. They are filled with memes and are quite enjoyable.

[@auron2699]

Yeah me too. I have to admit the first videos are very rough but it only goes up in quality until the masterpieces later on

13:02 Castle Doctrine can only be applied if someone trespasses on your property. What you're thinking of is Stand Your Ground laws, which have a lot of other criteria for it to be considered valid in court.

[@Painkiller040]

I hope you react to the entire series!! Can't wait to see more!!

13:42 Whenever I hear or read about the Mamertines, I'm reminded of this passage from Plutarch's "Life of Pyrrhus" when King Pyrrhus fought one of the Mamertine's champions in single combat. Here's an excerpt: "One of them [the Mamertines] ran forth far in advance of the rest, a man who was huge in body and resplendent in armour, and in a bold voice challenged Pyrrhus to come out, if he were still alive. 3 This angered Pyrrhus, and wheeling round in spite of his guards, he pushed his way through them - full of wrath, smeared with blood, and with a countenance terrible to look upon, and before the Barbarian could strike Pyrrhus dealt him such a blow on his head with his sword that, what with the might of his arm and the excellent temper of his steel, it cleaved its way down through, so that at one instant the parts of the sundered body fell to either side. 4 This checked the Barbarians from any further advance, for they were amazed and confounded at Pyrrhus, and thought him some superior being."

so the numbers for the battle of cape ecnomus are likely almost perfectly accurate. both armies had very stricly structured unit formations and counts. so we know very accurately that if they say they had "x" number of fleets/ ships we know with pretty good certainty how many people were involved

[@svon1]

go watch Dovahhatty unbiased history of rome

[@hamper6511]

You have no idea how much I've waited for your reaction to this My dinner today would be very delicious to eat while watching this

[@heyitsmeagain6897]

Lets Go Boys we are in for a good one!

[@Axindoor]

I'd heavily recommend the channel Dovahhatty for parody rome videos

[@tristanschmidt1239]

a good one is DJ Peach Cobbler on Rome and the Astech

[@MrEmiosk]

I think it is for the same reason there was a "pruning" within families in Japan. Population control. Sex is fun, until all your children eat up all the food. So the farmer weeds his fields, prunes off weak limbs, and slaughters the animals so that they enough feed(and meat) for winter. So too did they with newborns. And so I think most cultures did. It is very recently in history where newborns was regarded as a person, exactly how old was enough to have this personality was up to the culture... so yeah...

The issue with the 1 year term comes when large powers surround and seeking glory becomes more hazardous. When you are instead using your 1 year in office to govern your country, you'll find the bigger it is, the more work it takes to do well. This became an issue post french revolution with the 1 year terms for elected offices. Designed to avoid despotism, it basically meant he second anyone got competent at their job, they had finished their term and were barred from running again for years, guaranteeing a governmental system of incompetence.

I came and spell the name of the boat but I went and did some research as I also was astonished by the two-month date these ships can hold up to 7000 men they needed 90 oars on each side 5 men each needed to pull an oar and apparently the the ship was compared in size to modern aircraft carriers think of an aircraft carrier really really low to the ground it was just long just like how we restore old 1600 ships I would love for someone to make a rebuild of one of these so we can actually see it in full light

@@brothermomenet The Belisarius one is called „An Oblique approach“. I think it may not actually be about the future but something coming to the past. The John Brown one is tho and it’s called ”His soul goes marching on to another world“.

Hey, are you planning on reacting to Hazbin Hotel now that the first 6 episodes are out for the actual series?

[@fluffly3606]

Just a heads up: The Corvus is apparently controversial in historical circles because evidence for it is lacking and the main contemporary source for its use (along with the Punic Wars in general) seems biased, having framed their retelling of events somewhat like a moral tale hyping up the Romans as essentially a superior people. Source: Interview with historian Bret Deveraux, by Drachinifel here on KZbin Unfortunately that's the best we've got.

[@Wolfspaine7N6]

Just a little more context for something you said while talking about religious human sacrifice, Isaac wasn’t actually killed. God stopped it at the last second, it was a test of faith and commitment.
