Caesarea? Might be the best example of the use of submerged Roman concrete. Herod was crazy, but he left the imprint of Rome in a number of places here in Israel. Tour guides love him. Herodion, Masada, Temple Mount and more, all worth a visit in quieter times.

Great sites! And of course a sometimes volatile part of the Roman Empire. We look forward to a return visit in the future to film some of those sites.

Important to note that diversity within the Empire was almost exclusively western European (which was already genetically close as a cluster) and in the city of Rome it was mostly local ethnicities from the Italian peninsula. It can be said that local ethnicities in the peninsula eventually merged into one Roman ethnicity after interbreeding so long. However, the more distant conquered ethnicities of the Empire mostly stayed in their own areas, with exceptions. This is probably why they were preserved rather than Etruscans, Sabines, etc. Aside from the conquered and conquerer relationship, and Romans attempting to convert the different peoples with forced government projects, there wasn't much effective diversity.

This is a huge topic- and we just scratched the surface with this video… a lot of great scholarship in the past decade. We also have a lecture on the subject - available on our KZbin channel✌️

@@AncientRomeLiveOf course. Only so much to fit in 13 minutes. I think I'm up to date from a genetics perspective

@Travelhistory844 2 күн бұрын

Uhh that’s not what genetics and archaeology show. There were people from all over the empire migrating everywhere. North African governor in Britain. Egyptian gladiator Egyptian. High north African presence in southern Spain. DNA of a man found in Serbia matches modern Somali. In southern Europe there were many graves of eastern migrants (mostly Anatolian, and some Levantine). Very untrue that it was solely European diversity

hank you for your careful history work. If I may, I would like to ask you a question about Roman wine and Roman beer. In order to get the most historically accurate sensory impression possible, what would you recommend today? Is there a winemaker or a brewery that tries to produce "historic products" that impress you?

Thank you again, Darius. Very informative. However, placing Ctesiphon, the 800 year long capitial of the Parthian and Persian empires inside a map of Roman expansion and empire, is misleading. Yes the Romans once occupied the place for 11 months and touched on the Persian Gulf: but in the context of 1500 years of history of interaction between the two till the fall of Constantinople, that 11 months is nothing. By the same logic then, the Parthians Sassanians also ruled the Levant and chunks of Anatolia because they invaded the area and ruled it for a short while as well, no?

@AncientRomeLive 4 ай бұрын

That map is from 117- expansion with Trajan's short-lived Parthian conquest... It's kind of a standard "fullest extent of the empire" map. Of course, things change under the Severans (Severus who crushed the capitals of the Parthians), and so forth... Just take it with a grain of salt! (Images cited- from Wiki- they are not perfect and we don't have the resources to take things up a notch as we'd like). Cheers!

@@AncientRomeLive Yes, you are right, it is kind of standard, although very misleading as the Mercator projection maps opf the world are. Some stary-eyed person made it, and using it, makes this misleading picture perpetuate. Please don't, since everything else you teach us is so precise and accurate. It is like showing the heart of Germany as a part of Rome instead of the Rhine frontier, because there were many Roman forays into that region (disasterous ones, as they turned out, and now movies are made about them). I appreciate all your work, Darius, no matter what. So, there

Leave it to the dacians to go to war with the roman empire and when they lost try to hide 7billion dollars in gold and silver inside a body of water. Then that income ironically makes rome even stronger than they were beforehand.

Interestingly that Romans don’t use our modern sense of race to distinguish between friend and foe,they depict other peoples using cultural elements such as facial hair, clothing customs and battle gear.
