A detailed narration for the Roman period, aligned with musical cues: 1:16 beginning of Punic war 1:25 escalation of conflict between Carthage and Rome 1:30 Hannibal's elephants march through Iberia to Rome 1:43 collapsing Carthaginian Empire 1:52 Rome begins to become the European superpower as they expand and civilise barbarian lands 2:01 Collapse of Macedonia to Roman forces Continued expansion of Rome 2:32 Rome is now the undisputed power in Europe 2:37 Beginning of eastern conflict that prompts Roman expansion into the east 2:51 Beginning of Caesar's conquest of Gaul 3:02 brewing tensions between Antony and Octavian and Pompey 3:06 Octavian comes out victorious after Battle of Actium, resulting in death of Antony. Octavian now rules supreme as dictator of Rome at age 30. 3:18 New world order 3:27 Empire's first emperor Augustus dies, but Tiberius is strong enough to maintain stability within empire. Rome remains prosperous 3:39 Claudius begins conquest of Britain 3:46 Empire stumbles in his steady footing for the first time, as Nero comes to power, infamous for his cruelty, extravagance, and debauchery. 3:53 Vespasian regains order after marching on Rome, establishing a new dynasty 3:57 After a short reign by Titus, Domitian, whilst capable as manager of state, is excessively cruel and paranoid, with the Empire again stumbling ever so slightly from within 4:04 Trajan's conquests, the second of the five good emperors 4:10 Music is similar to Augustan reign, marking a new period of flourishing and dominance for the Empire 4:41 death of Aurelius marks the end of the five good emperors, with Commodus, an incapable leader, in control of the mighty Empire 4:56 period of instability, especially with the sadistic and psychopathic personality of Elagabalus, followed by a string of very young emperors, who had little more than nominal power 5:14 first major cracks form in the Roman empire, with Postumus breaking away the western provinces of Gaul, Britain and Iberia, along with escalating eastern conflicts 5:19 Aurelian comes to the rescue, securing both the eastern and western fronts 5:29 The tetrarchy, saving the economy of the Roman empire. Some period of stability. 5:45 The new Rome, a Christian one, united under Constantine the Great. For a while, Rome seems to be stable again. 6:09 Arrival of the Huns, increasing border escalations between Rome and barbarian tribes 6:24 Collapse of the Western Roman empire, after the sack of Rome by Alaric and Hunnic invasions. 6:26 Iberian and Gallic and British states begin breaking away 6:33 North Africa falls to the Vandals, and so does eastern Illyria 6:38 Western Rome's fall now seems inevitable 6:43 increased raids from the Huns and barbarians decrease Rome's control over their western provinces, increasing the rate of its collapse 6:48 Majorian is able to delay the fall, by reconquering Gaul and Iberia, hence the extended repetition of chordal progression 6:51 At last the fall of Western Rome is inevitable, with no legitimate line of emperor left, with a succession of adolescent emperors who had nominal control over the Empire 6:56 Sack of Rome, and destruction of Western Rome 7:03 Theoderic the Great begins reconquest of Italia and Iberia, as patrician of Eastern Rome 7:05 Rome is conquered again, but now no longer under a Roman identity ... 7:12 Expansion of Frankish kingdoms 7:20 Increasing tensions between Visigothic kingdom and Eastern Roman Empire, after death of Theoderic the Great 7:24 Justinian begins his conquest of Italia and former Roman provinces in Africa and Iberia, but only partially successful, as his troops get tied up in the border conflicts with the Sassanian Empire. The music is grandiose, but with a tinge of sadness, for as Belisarius, general of Justinian, enters Rome, only a fifth of its population remains. Western Rome will never again be a superpower, and the Eastern Roman Empire will inevitably relinquish Italia, as the now civilised barbarians of the Franks and Goths will prove too powerful to withstand against. The glory of a reunified Rome remains for just a fleeting moment, but was never to materialise. Never before, never again, would one entity come to dominate Europe so completely and authoritatively, not even the third Reich 8:29 the Rise of the Caliphates, dominating over Byzantium. In time, Roman identity shall be wiped out forever.

During the Republic of Rome often Two Consuls in the same year held fasces on alternating days. Then two periods ruled by Triumvirs. In imperial times....multiple emperors in some years due to Praetorians killing the ones they did not like. And on and on...

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

Certain periods did get a little too simplified in the video, but it's also really hard to express concepts like Diocletian's Tetrarchy, and because we couldn't see all of the middle East, or Egypt it's hard to depict things like the Palmyrian Empire, which kind of meant you could blink and miss what the impact of Aurelian was. But before that it's a literal matter of where the hell does Vespasian come from? After Year of the Four Emperors. You really do need a decent understanding of history to fully appreciate the video and its flaws, but also what alot of it actually meant. On a side note, the video happily does not factor in the ludicrous (By modern standards) Roman naming conventions.

Great job! I have only one minor issue, although I know, it's hard to keep track of every European country with all their different historic titles and customs, so please take it as a constructive remark: In Hungary after WWII there are a several less familiar names. I guess they were technically the head of state, but in Hungary they are not considered the rulers of the country. Especially during communist times (1949-89) the real ruler was the General Secretary of the Hungarian Working People's Party. That means Mátyás Rákosi from 1949 to 1956, Ernő Gerő in 1956 (with Imre Nagy taking over during the revolution in October), János Kádár from 1956 to 1988 and Károly Grósz from 1988 to 1989. We hadn't even learned in history class about who was technically head of state or prime minister at that time (unless they were also the general secretary), since they were just figureheads, the real power was the General Secretary, just like Khrushchev, Brezhnev and Gorbachev in the USSR (this is a communist thing, I think it came from the way Stalin rose to power, since that was his official title). Since the fall of communism the head of state is the President of Hungary, but the real ruler is considered to be the Prime Minister. You probably heard of our current one: Viktor Orbán. He is not head of state (right now the President of Hungary is Katalin Novák), but he has basically the most power. Although since the video shows the monarchs too, who are mostly in a similar position, as our presidents, it's not inaccurate.

[@ZdzichuWiertara96]

Similar thing with Poland - after the position of President of Poland (not Polish People's Republic, it technically was created in 1952, from the end of the war until then the country was just Republic of Poland) was abolished in the 50s, the most important person was the ruler of the party, not the head of the state council. So there should be no Zawadzki, (Ochab was the party chairman for a while), Spychalski, Cyrankiewicz, Jabłoński (Jaruzelski ruled the country nonetheless). It should go Bierut, then Ochab (but he ruled only in 1956 for about half a year after Bierut died, so he wouldn't be shown on the map), then Gomułka, Gierek, Kania and Jaruzelski. After the round table talks and partly free elections in 1989, both Sejm and Senat in form of National Assembly elected Jaruzelski to be the president of Polish People's Republic. He needed 269 votes for and received 270. Later on the title changed to president of Poland when we dropped the People's part out of the country's name. He was due to serve 6 year term, but he decided to step down in 1990 as he felt he had no support in the government and in the nation (I mean, he got elected with just 1 vote more than he needed, and the nation almost uniformly voted for anyone but candidates from the communist party). The next presidential election was held in 1990 and it this time the people actually voted instead of the Assembly that they elected. Now it only is a matter of who is more important - the president or the prime minister, or as was the case for some recent years - the chief of the ruling party. For clarity I'll assume it's the president (mainly because there were 20 or so prime ministers since 1989, but only 5 presidents, it's half past 1am and I spent way too much time on this), so since 1952 it should look like this: -1956 Bierut 1956 Ochab* 1956-1970 Gomułka 1970-1980 Gierek 1980-1981 Kania 1981-1990 Jaruzelski 1990-1995 Wałęsa 1995-2005 Kwaśniewski 2005-2010 L.
