Imagine you were an advisor to the Roman Empire in its final years. What strategies would you propose to prevent its fall in the West?
-
Germanic Tribes are still migrating. Nowadays they mostly go to an island called Mallorca
-
And all of this just because Tiberius said: "Who cares about stupid Germany?"
-
"Germanic tribes are not sending us their best! They send us their criminals. Some I assume are good people."
-
Hundred and twenty million people sounds a bit to much for the western Roman empire
-
Historians usually agree that the massive immigration of barbarians to Roman territory was caused by an enormous drop in temperatures and Hunnic attacks. Therefore, it is safe to say that stirrups and lack of coats caused the fall of Rome.
-
My favourite part is when the germanic tribes said "it's migratin' time" and proceeded to migrate all over the roman empire
-
If there wasn't enough land to farm in Germanic territory then why didn't they just go into IT and become coders?
-
The Western Roman Empire had 120 MILLION people?? Does that not seem super high to others?
-
Your numbers here feel well off. Most Censuses I’ve seen to the Roman Empire’s around 60 million. Not 120 million. It’s very difficult to gain a reliable estimate of Germania’s population at the same time, but 3 million sounds ridiculously low. Like an ancient historian has just counted warriors and their familles, and not the vast network of tenant farmers, slaves and their families beneath them.
-
Population of Roman Empire 120 million? In 4th century I don't think it was half of that. And in time of sack of Rome by Alaric Ravenna was a capital.

Ironically the Ostrogothic Kingdom in Italy under the reign of Theodoric the Great was better governed and prosperous than under the last Roman emperors. Despite the weaknesses of King Theodoric’s successors, the Ostrogoth administration maintained Roman civilization in Italy and it could be argued that ancient Roman civilization in its old homeland was destroyed with the devastation wrought by the eastern Roman Empire’s invasion during the Gothic War.
-
120 million is way too much for the population of the Western Empire. Scholars generally think the entire empire never exceeded 75 million. So the Western half probably had around half of that. The first empire to reach 100 million in population was Tang China.
-
Looking for unpopulated land? The Roman empire was more densely populated than the lands they came from.
-
Great video but it made me chuckle that… “The westernmost migration of the Germanic tribes ended up in Britain” Meanwhile the Suebi at the bottom of the screen chillin’ all the way in Galicia on the other side of Hispania: 👀👀👀
-
The hunnic empire is prolly the most overlooked historical entity of all time
-
PROUD TO BE A BARBARIAN

It's interesting to think how the Romans Latinized half of Europe, but when the Germans conquered the Roman Empire they simply melded into the Latinized lands (aside from Britain). On the other hand, when the Slavs conquered the other half of Europe nearly every area they took became Slavicized. The Slavs were never known as a powerful people, yet they still became more dominant.
-
A lot of Northerners still migrate south because they’re sick and tired of the cold weather.
