Otto killing himself was the most romantic move of 69 ad
-
5:55 A man of honour
-
"In the summer of 69". I see what you did there.
-
Great video. Ths longer ones are interesting but these shorter segments are a great way to obsorb things. The visual style you use makes things easier to connect the people and events.
-
At first I tought that you will talk of Sulla Vs Marius. Still a good video.
-
As a South African I would love a collab btw you, HistoryMarche and Epic History. That would be 🔥
-
Galba was from my city! Terracina🇮🇹💪🏻

It amazes me how long the pretorian guard lasted
-
Pretorians seem to have taken a lot upon themselves. I'd always been under the impression they were answerable to the Emperor, not the Senate. Seem not only had they developed a bad habit or killing emperors, but had also become answerable to no one, thus a highly dangerous if not intolerable threat. Wonder how that happened (Claudius?), and why the Flavians or their successors didn't have the destroyed or disbanded on personal safety grounds.

Love your Rome videos!
-
After 60 plus years of studying roman military history I find this video documentary very interesting for it's conciseness.
-
Love your videos❤
-
One issue here. Galba never styled himself as a general of the senate. In a manner of speaking he did use the old term for a commander, Imperator, but by now that was Emperor. His full title Imperator Servius Galba Caesar Augustus. Roughly, that means ' Galba the Great'. Kinda ironic I would say!
-
You didn't mention all the drama about the fake Poppaea. Maybe that's good. That gives me the creeps
-
Love this channel
-
Love this history of Roman empire series!
-
Otho was hella based for that. Shame the Praetorians couldn't resist the urge to have yet more bloodshed and refused to let Vitellius abdicate. Wild that it took until 193AD before the Praetorians had their power curbed.
-
Roman Empire and civil war are synonymous
-
Interesting video, certainly a chaotic time to be in Rome
-
First civil war was Sulla-Maruis, second Cesar - Pompey Magnus, then comes Octavian/Mark Antony - Pompey jr and then Octavian - Mark Antony. After all this Octavian becomes Augustus the Emperor. Even tho they had no official Emperor in Cesar timeline they were still an Empire no less.
