The reign of Augustus in Rome

[@777peacelove]

I love all of Rome so much. But Gaius Julius Caesar and Gaius Octavius Augustus Caesar, are my favorite Romans. They still inspire me so so much, it's incredible! I really love Julius and Augustus as if they are my friends.❤ On the 30th of August I will travel to Rome again, for the 6th time. I can never get enough of Rome, the fascination and LOVE are endless. I consider Rome as my second home.🏛❤

[@petrismaximus]

What if Julius had survived???

[@KonradAdenauerJr]

Must be fascinating to go on the footsteps of one of the Empire's most consequential reformers.

[@AncientRomeLive]

He cast a long shadow... No one really ever exceeded him and his pivotal changes in the system for quite some time...

[@2MuchPurple]

To me the Augustan age is the most fascinating time in Roman history. Id love to travel bacl in time ans see it for just a day! Thank you. 🏛

[@atlantic_love]

You and me both. Maybe some day soon someone will make a VR experience for us.

[@johkkarkalis8860]

I think a day would be long enough. Just be careful when you set foot outside the Forum. Avoid stepping over do-do and dead animal carcasses. Make sure your time machine is well-oiled and the batteries are fully charged. This old man might be more adventurous and cruise back to the "Regal Period" centuries before the Empire just to see how much of this very early period that has come down to us is bogus . After all, the grandeur of the empire had a remote beginning. Keep up these great videos! Eye candy for the history buffs!

His statues show someone who looks a bit like Napoleon or, dare I say it? Vladimir Putin.

[@OsirisIxchel]

@@OtaBengaBokongo Gaius Octavius’s mother, Atia, was the daughter of Julia, the sister of Julius Caesar, and it was Caesar who launched the young Octavius in Roman public life. At age 12 he made his debut by delivering the funeral speech for his grandmother Julia.

Great video as always! It's amazing how the legacy of Augustus and the Empire endures to this day in many aspects of the world.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@bernieschiff5919]

Good cinemaphotography and use of computer models to help tell the story and provide context. 5 stars.

[@raffriff42]

And actual models

[@marial8235]

It is amazing to me that Julius Caesar saw the talent in his great nephew and sought to nurture it, and had the foresight to name Octavian his heir rather than Antony, Brutus or anyone else. Didn’t Caesar also send Agrippa with Greece along with Octavian? A heck of a duo…

[@AncientRomeLive]

Yes, quite the pair.

[@hugodesrosiers-plaisance3156]

It says so much about the social mindset of Rome that an Emperor could just raze a section of a slum, build marbled forums and temples with a statue of himself, and put a tuft wall to protect his "gift" from the rest of the slums, showing they knew very well how prone those poor areas were to burning down. Fascinating, and also frankly disturbing by our modern perspective.

[@johkkarkalis8860]

Your point is well taken. What was the "grandeur of Rome" was pretty much a Potemkin village enjoyed by the privileged, the wealthy and largely concealing a vast squalid sewer of tenements, garbage, and disease. We ought not to be smug. We too have our inner slums ringed by pricey high rises and idyllic suburbs.

[@mikki3961]

Ah to see the monuments in their painted glory! I guess I will use my imagination. Thank you as always for a great visit.

My understanding is that the House of Augustus on the Palatine is a misnoma. Mary Beard latest book confirms this. I was a bit gutted - what are your thoughts Darius would appreciate your outlook.

[@sirpat1735]

Thank you so much for these pills of history and archeology too

[@AncientRomeLive]

Thank you!

[@garyi.1360]

What chance was there for Augustus to successfully return Rome to a Republic? Whether it was day 2 or any day to the end of his rule? And that is assuming he was behind such an effort. I am not saying he ever was, but if he had felt that Caesar was wrong to make himself emperor, could Augustus have changed that? Or had it become the only way for Rome to remain as one entity?

[@kevin02mulder]

there was always this struggle between the barrows represented by the senate and military leadership that resulted in emperor's :)

[@AncientRomeLive]

It was truly beyond repair or turning back. Just looking at his predecessors in the first triumvirate, as well as the "reign" or Sulla, - and his own triumvirate experience, Octavian would have realized there was no going back!

[@fredmidtgaard5487]

Oh, what is a "shorthand"? Was it cut?

[@andyroo9381]

It seems Augustus had a lot of charisma and good looks go equal that.

[@rhodaseptilici3816]

You did not even mention Agrippa in connection to Philippi he was crucial to that victory....😔

[@seandyer93]

Augustus the 4th founder of Rome

[@rhodaseptilici3816]

Very poor very superficial what about the aqueducts?????

[@amgymrat4546]

Was Augustus unable to have children of his own? Sorry if this sounds dumb

[@kevin02mulder]

yes a typical workaholic control freak maniac :) Back in the day you needed a library extension to keep up with all his rules. like this one. @ brothers of the same blood, may not share one bed room for that they may not grow a bond that strong they are not controllable or not needy and overrule the emperors superiority. that tells you a lot. he had his maids but he was also a boy lover and the thing that scared him the most was the telepathic powers conspiring against him.

[@derekborg5159]

Ma dai..., Sei sicuro di non aver sbagliato canale? Bah!.si tratta di eventi di oltre 2000 anni fa.

[@kevin02mulder]

@@derekborg5159 yes you went there lol. I had 3 lives I have seen Rome in two of them. my first recollection is on Etruscan border and these guys where telling us how to live and pay taxes. end of a happy innocent time. Augustus had news call every other week on Friday some good some bad. I can remember him very well especially the killings of those two boys hurt still. They where full of life always laughing. very beautiful whole town loved them. his action had caused him some political setback but as always the new year he come with something new and good for Rome and he renewal his trust..

As usual there is a panorama of various ruins without any arrows or pointers so that the viewer does not know exactly what they are looking........just a jumble of ruins. I am done with this channel.

Augustus is a fictional character. His name is August, the summer month when the sun is highest in the sky. Julius also comes from July, from úll in old Irish. They're fictional characters stolen from sun worship. Their lives are inspirational and Julius wrote a fake book about his wars, that's not coincidence, same as plato. They're propaganda

[@deanodog3667]

So Julius caesar is irish ?? Alrighty then !! Lolololol

[@Dankness-e6i]

@@deanodog3667 no, Gaius (from Gaul - Gael) was a Roman with gaulish-Gaelic ancestry & his 'history' and his book of his campaigns are fake. They're written as inspiration & to explain the Roman church destroying the church of Iesa. Rome comes from Ogam (ancient Irish) Ro meaning before Ome meaning body, earth, grave. It means before heaven (Ro) and earth (ome) The river Tiber comes from Tubber, a spring or well. As the poet Longfellow said 'their names are on your waters, and ye may not wash them out' Read 'irish origins of civilization' 'irish wisdom preserved in Bible & pyramids' 'the Bible, an Irish book' 'makers of Civilization' 'Fir Gods & Stone Faces' And many more. The Romans went to war with the church of Iesa & rewrote their bible to make humans worshippers. All old ruins worldwide that the WEF won't let anyone dig up were buried by the Romans and then British. They're all for sun worship. The church of Iesa. Iesa (no J in Irish) - Jesa - Jesus. The winter solstice is Jesus on the cross. Our history is entirely rewritten.
