as they themselves admitted, the Romans may have conquered Greece with weapons, but Greece conquered them with its superior culture.

[@maxchen7229]

Well said 👍

[@MoNgio-wy9xq]

lol 😂 Greek all ways said they are Roman in Byzantine empire

[@marcello7781]

The end of an era and the beginning of a new one.

[@kevinkibble8342]

And then both eras intertwined in the Byzantine Empire. Politically Roman, culturally Greek.

[@bruceli9094]

Father to son, to grandson.

[@jimakisspd]

@@kevinkibble8342 Uhm hardly. Greek civilization was banned most of the time because of its pagan background. Only during the last centuries of the empire, in its decline(especially after the schism with Western Rome) it started being tolerated and assimilated to the Christian Roman identity.

I was waiting on King Pyyrhus , who coined the now famous term Pyyrhus Victory. Also correction 1:15 the Macedonians did not fight unorganized They fought in the Phalanx

[@velstadtvonausterlitz2338]

Pyrrhic victory

[@bruceli9094]

If one looks at the entirety of human history, Western civilization has never stopped expanding. It's power cannot be stopped only slowed. It's march continues today.

[@jhoangelaldana3221]

I have always wondered what would have happened if the Roman Empire had never conquered Greece?

[@67claudius]

It was the Roman Republic that conquered Greece and without total control of the Mediterranean Roman Empire would never have existed ​

[@maestoso47]

Romans idolized Greece. Then followed suit.

[@christianchauhan23]

💛 all your videos mate👍

[@-RONNIE]

Thank you for the video it was very entertaining 👍🏻 I knew most of the information but I learned some new things also

[@charliemcternan8190]

This is gonna be a great story

[@eacalvert]

Answering a question I've always wondered

[@TheBizziniss]

The Byzantines didn’t call themselves Byzantines. They referred to themselves as Roman. The name “Byzantine Empire” was a name given to those Romans by historians because Constantinople sat on the Ancient Greek city of Byzantium.

[@georgefragakis6761]

one MISTAKE! ROME startedto decline oafter the 3rd century AD -not bc as it sounds on the audio

[@greekLeon]

2:39 Diogenes of Carthage, Sinope was the philosopher

[@Braelyn.the.brunette]

It wasn't 346bc it was 346 AD. Cmon man

[@vassilisskrekas4598]

Great video although I have to object and state that city states did not usually have kings. They were ruled either by a council of Oligarchs or they had Democratic-like government. The exception of course being Sparta.

[@wall0099]

Sick numbers on those hits. Congrats on the rank up. I would go with spidey😜

[@Max-fs5gc]

[@sakoyes4652]

Hey Guys Been following you channel for a while now enjoy it very much. I wanted to ask you guys if you guys to do a video on the Kingdom of Armenia since they were the first to adopt Christianity in the year 301. Awesome stuff

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

The Hellenized peoples of the eastern Roman (later Byzantine) Empire consistently referred to themselves as 'Roman' (Romaioi) because, even though they were culturally Greek, they considered themselves a part of the Roman Empire.

[@jimakisspd]

They called themselves Romans simply because they were conquered by the Romans and thus were Romanised in time, being converted to the globalised Christian Roman identity of their conquerors. Pure and simple!!

Can you do Mesopotamian Myth (Day 38)

[@ypanso]

4:02 looks more like 9th century bce vessel she is holding. Greek and roman were different shape and painted i think

[@zazazazizizi6276]

THIS DOC SHOULD BE NAMED : THE ROMAN CONQUEST OF MACEDONIA AND THEN, OF GREECE

[@stathispap8291]

Macedonia was part of Greece bro whats the point of it?😂

[@user-ff4lr2jj5r]

By the time the Romans showed up, Greece was dead on its feet as far its old classical era self went...they were some signs of a growing support for federalism but these were late and well, simply too late.

[@gar6446]

It could be said that the 'barbarian' western empire especially theFrankish and Gothic leaders, were a continuation of "Roman" culture. The Germanic tribes had long been assimilated into the army and established within the borders of the empire. Aetius's army was more a barbarian confederation than a Roman force when it repelled Atilas hord. The Byzantine Eastern empire,took on a more Greek than Roman character as time passed.

[@rangler90]

Philip the V of Macedon was the king of a kingdom not of a city state as mentioned in the start...

[@Existentialcrisisenjoyer]

real(real)

[@maxchen7229]

Winner writes the history! Ancient Greece was a great culture and rich country, but not united.

[@user-ik8nm2rr2e]

You are wrong. The Macedonians allied with Hannibal in 215, not the Romans. The Romans naturally saw this as a stab in the back and went to war with Macedon in alliance with several Hreek states and ahain in 200 BC

[@DivineHellas]

Romans were Greeks 2.0 (Nex Generation) who unified with the original Greeks 1.0 and formed the Roman Empire that lasted 1.5 + millennium.

[@jimakisspd]

Uhm no. BS. The Romans were barbarian conquerors of the Greek cities and kingdoms, pure and simple!!! To try to Hellenise them makes as much sense as trying to hellenise Persians.

2 historical mistakes in the first Minute

[@morrismurimi3965]

First

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

The whole of Greece was under foreign rule for many centuries,starting with the Roman conquest in the second century BC. What distinguishes the Ionian Islands from the rest of Greece is that, with some exceptions, they did not form part of the Ottoman Empire, while the rest of the Greek world was under Ottoman rule for anything between two hundred and five hundred years. The fact that these islands were ruled by Catholics rather than Muslims has made them strikingly different from the rest of Greece, in language, music, costume, cuisine and architecture. Hirst, A. and Sammon, P., 2014. The Ionian Islands. p.2.

[@tomsmith4542]

Language is the samee in Ionian

[@kristaps5296]

🦃🤡🎉

[@DivineHellas]

Rome wasn’t really foreign rule

[@papazataklaattiranimam]

@@DivineHellas 🤣🤣🤣

[@jimakisspd]

@@DivineHellas Sure it wasn''t. 🤣🤣 Our ancestors and historians speak differently.

[@christossideris7971]

When you say greece became the center of Christianity, you miss some facts that the Byzantine Empire has forbidden every other Religion than the jewish and christianity, even mathematic was forbidden and the ancient greek language, the theaters and the baths got destroyed the people which resisted killed the countless libraries burned.The temples destroyed for more than 600 years again and again systematic.

[@kristaps5296]

🤡🎉

[@mrscanlan.5016]

The timing was great for the Romans when they went to Greece to conquer !!!!

[@agar2134]

Imagine if the Greeks were united after the death of Alexander 😮 But that would be what IF speculation

[@DivineHellas]

Not great, perfect. There were no better timing in the whole Hellenic history.

[@DivineHellas]

@@agar2134Rome would obviously be absolutely nothing if that was the case. Look what Pyros alone did which would just have been a tiny fraction of this hypothetical reality.

[@user-qm8gh3eo1u]

​@@agar2134if the Greeks had united after the death of Alexander the Great they would have conquered Rome and not Rome them. the road to Rome opened after the invitation from the Aetolian Commonwealth.
