Would love you to do the life of Sulla at one point! The story of him sparing Caesar’s life on a whim blew my mind when I was taking my Roman history class in school.

[@ASMR_Historian]

I had done a video about him but its very old. I will do an updated one and go into detail on his civil war. Stay tuned.

[@alannatrepka4292]

Due to the excitement at the moment... History of the Olympics coming up? 😂

[@ASMR_Historian]

Actually yes, coming up within the next week.

[@g31s4]

I would love to watch a video like this but with some kinda of pictures about the history

[@chengducat]

More details about the life and times of one of the most intriguing personages in roman history. I'm listening

[@ASMR_Historian]

Check out the playlists, I have stuff from the renaissance and some earlier history. I will also be making a long compilation of Italian history soon (not roman empire related). Stay tuned friend.

[@johndarcangelo6893]

Was going to recommend Pompeii back when you did Caesar but I guess that was too obvious lol.

[@ASMR_Historian]

Yes and Crassus is coming up in a few days, then next week I will put all 3 into a compilation for the first triumvirate.

[@johndarcangelo6893]

@@ASMR_Historian I was about to reply that you could then do the Second Triumvirate but who really cares about Lepidus lol.

[@ASMR_Historian]

Haha agreed.

[@dropkick69able]

Can't wait to hear this. Every source has their exclusive tid bit of information to ponder mate. Tea time and cricket mate

[@FeralFeminine]

Fun fact… Pompey is not the same as Pompeii 😂 I was very confused at first! If you are looking for ideas, Pompeii and Mt Vesuvius would be a fun listen.

[@ASMR_Historian]

That may be on the list soon! Thanks for watching.
