problem with audiences is that they expect the extraordinary out of the "heroes" or "main characters" without historical context. Hollywood does just that. ppl want to see FICTION on the big screen, not cruel real history. seeing late roman troops wearing smth less appealing than the famous Lorica Segmentata means wasted ticket money. the truth often is left for documentaries. these days, thx to Netflix, they too are romanticized and politicized.

Greek states begin as despotic kingdoms giving way to vibrant democracies, producing politicians such as Alcibiades and Pericles, as well as great philosophers such as the platonists and pre-Socratics. Playwrights like Homer, the Thebans, and Aeschylus flourished. Then they heroically defended their culture against the Persians and succeeded, then they fought a massive civil war (Peloponnesian War) which destroyed that culture (to some extent), and gave way to a more despotic period (Hellenistic Age). Rome began as a despotic kingdom, giving way to a vibrant democracy which produced great politicians like Cincinnatus and Lucius Junius Brutus, great philosophers like Cicero and Philodemus, writers like Seneca and Virgil. Then, they fought a brutal war to preserve their culture against the Carthaginians and won. Then, they devolved into a period of massive civil wars, destroying their culture (to some extent), and giving way to a more despotic period (the Principate).

The Senate you're referring to as this thing of heroic legend (and later great political intrigue) hadn't been around for hundreds of years by the time the formal institution ceased to be. So in that regard, who would really care to document the exact details of its end--it didn't matter and hadn't matter for generations by the point it occurred.

As England approaches its Millennium, I think of how the British view their history of Empire. Including the USA, Canada, Australia, NZ, the Caribbean, and for a brief period ,India, one can get a sense of the Roman thinking. Since 1066, Britain has had an uninterrupted form of government, save the short Commonwealth, expansions, contractions, religious upheaval (Catholic/Protestant), dynastic crises, and economic turmoil. It provides an interesting analogy to see how contemporary Britain views itself as a way to understand how the Romans saw themselves. Sebastian, this has been a very thought provoking presentation.

Please note that British history starts in 1707 with the Acts of Union uniting the kingdoms of Scotland and England\Wales. Before that date there is no British history. "England" and "Britain" are not interchangeable terms. Also as a proud Celt I note that the territory now labelled as "England" was inhabited entirely by Celts long before the Anglo-Saxons arrived. And the Romans called the entire island Britannia.

England was not formed in 1066 by William after the Norman conquest. It was united into a single polity by King Aethelstan in 927. I think it is more accurate to say that England has been a single continuous state since then. The Norman conquest changed the ruling dynasty, and introduced new governmental practices. But it was still very much the same kingdom it had been under the Anglo-Saxon kings, just with new rulers. The official name of the state changed with union with Scotland in 1707, and various changes with Wales and Ireland since. But, from the English perspective, the system of state is continuous back to Aethelstan. I agree with the first commenter who says that it would be more proper to refer to how the English consider their history than how the British do however. It looks quite different from elsewhere in the Union. I also don’t think that the comparison between how we current English might look back at Empire and how late Romans might have done quite holds. Empire was more a phase for us, disappearing into the past, while the state continues on as ever. The situation was quite different from Rome, where the centre of power had moved away from the original City State of Rome centuries earlier. It was an Empire until it crumbled. I think the concept of being an imperial state would have been far more central to them than it is to us today (despite the delusion of some who seem to think we are still an imperial level power).

As a citizen of a nation which has existed continuously for over a thouseand years, this is interesting. Here, too, there is a lot of romanticisation of the past (the moderately recent, rather than the far distant, the latter generally being regarded as primitive). Usually based on the idea life was more comfortable or, particularly, that there were more certainties about it. A common complaint is that things have been changing and too fast. There isn't the sharp religious divide there was in late Western Rome. Though there is disquiet in some quarters about newly-arrived immigrant faiths and also about secularism (but that debate has been on the decline since the 1960s).

As an Englishman, I do live in a state that has been around for more than 1,000 years. England was united into a single polity by King Aethelstan in 927 - very nearly 1,100 years. It is true that we created a union with Scotland in 1707, and the make up of the United Kingdom has changed a couple of times since in relation to Wales and Ireland. But still, our state and system of government can be traced in a continuous line back to Aethelstan, and even his grandfather Alfred, who began the process of unification some decades earlier. And personally, I am glad I live now, and not in the time of Aethelstan 😂

I lived in Troy Michigan, were the huge San Marino club exists. The food was wonderful. And it was founded and populated by immigrants from San Marino. It's quite a wealthy country. With a population equivalent to a small American city.@@papalol1327

5:00 to 5:25 Mark Anthony had a wax image of Julius Caesar showing his stab wounds commissioned for his funeral and mounted on a cruciform tropaeum for the service. The Imperial Cult continued the practice for its deified emperors' funerals and Justin Martyr noted that these wax images were mounted on "schematics of crosses" (1 Apology 55).

Congratulations! That was very interesting and helpful. As Later Roman Empire in historiography traditionally spans to 7th century (641 death of Heraclius), i'd like to know if there is any source from that time. I'd like also to know what late Romans in the east thought of their predecessors. The state was called Roman Empire, they called themselves Romans, other civilizations called them Romans, it was the continuation of the same state and after the deposition of the last Roman Emperor in the west, Odoacer ruled Italy as a client and in the name of Roman Emperor Zeno in Constantinople. He also sent the western imperial regalia to the east.

I would also recommend to read 11th century comparation Michael Attaleites as he directly compares Romans("...Byzantines...")of his times and their predecessors glorious Romans of classical antiquity.He devoted entire book(modernly a chapter) of his history to it.6th century works by Joannes Lydos are full of talking about Roman past,political dialogue written by anonymous author at the court of Justinian likewise compares classical Romans with 6th century Romans at several places,Evagrius Scholasticus also makes comparation in direct confrontation of Zosimos claiming Zosimus claims that since Romans left their old faith Empire was in decline are not correct and that opposite was in fact(in his opinion)the case and makes several comparations to prove his point.Also Prokopios occassionally refers to comparations with his time and Roman past.Justinian himself makes several excureses to Roman history in his law code but without bigger comparations.

You wouldn't say "Senatus et Populusque Romanus", because adding a "-que" to the end of a word already means "and", there are two ways of saying "and" in latin. The way you said it, it literally means "The Roman Senate and and people". There's a double "and" and it's wrong.

I love the writings of Juvenal and was wondering if there was anything sort of similar from the 4th and 5th centuries? What were people at the time saying about it?
