    Thank god you saved me as a man. I almost forgot to think about Rome today but suddenly you drop this banger of a video.
  • It's a crime how horribly ignored Rome's pre-Caesar story has been ignored in media. There are a ton of amazing events (like the end of the monarchy, the Sacking of the Gauls, the decemviri era, the Carthaginian wars, etc) that should get their own adaptation. Too bad the focus is always on Julius Caesar
  • @Lihking
    I swear History would have been my favourite subject in school if we had content like this
  • @ThorDog16
    I love it. Livy says either Romulus ascended into heaven body and soul or he was dismembered by the senators. Even almost 3000 years ago there were skeptics.
  • Its great that people can go online and find such awesome media. The internet at its best.
  • Funny how Rome "began" with Troy and fell with Constantinopel. Like it returned to the homeland
  • @Balrog-tf3bg
    So I just listen to these as a podcast, but the amount of work it must take to source all these pictures are crazy

    "How frequently do you think about the Roman empire " Me:

    This is more like a Paul Cooper Fall of Civilizations video than the short form accounts of individuals you've posted in the past. I preferred the original form and format. It let people from the past - those precious few who could write that is - tell their stories. The viewer interpreted them. But I am certain many viewers will absolutely LOVE this change.

    I can’t even believe the talent and effort that goes into this
  • @ayush21399
    Holy damn 2 hours , what a majestic quality documentary.. thank you bro
  • I love videos like these. The Romans truly are a historical marvel.
  • @trajanz9557
    Oh it's that random time of the month again where I watch a video on Rome? okay.
  • The time of ancient Rome may be long gone. But the more we learn about them, the more the spirit will live on. Rome is truly the Eternal city.

    This was beyond epic…thank you so much for well written and narrated content
  • Legitimate history, intelligently presented. Also: thanks for not relying on AI to do everything for you, especially the art. AI art always looks bad, and even simple high school teachers can find flaws in AI text. Lesson: if you want something done right, you always gotta do it yourself!
