22:50 I've always found the explanation that 'foreign languages sounded like gibberish' is the origin of barbaroi or barbarophonoi to be deeply unsatisfying, but I feel like there is a more logical possibility. For instance, the traditional explanation does not explain why 'bar' is the syllable used to represent gibberish. But it is a well-known phenomenon that as civilizations urbanized, people started introducing themselves using the pattern of 'name from place' or 'name job' or even 'name, job of place', etc. More nomadic civilizations have tended to be more likely to use the naming format 'name, child of name, child of name, child of name, ....' Given the groups the name was applied to, especially opposite the direction opposite Rome, one could imagine how it seemed to the Greeks that every time they met a man from the eastern end of the Mediterranean that he introduced himself as 'name, bar name, bar name, bar name, bar...' and they'd start to the nomadic middle-easterners as "those bar-bar people"

Rome basicaly was a Latin state same language and religion as the other Latin states. Rome just conqured and unified the Latins states into one state Rome It's like Athens and sparta is both Greek states spoke the same language had the same religion and so on.

Rest in Peace Marjorian, you did your best. :(

Binging this content cuz I miss vindland saga😭😭

The Etruscans were not mysterious. They called themselves Rasenna or Rasna. They were locals who for some reason stuck to a Neolithic farmer language than speaking the Indo-European language of their male forebears. Genetically they were identical to their Roman neighbors but like the Romans had foreigners living among them, foreigners from North Africa and the Levant. What do we know about the Etruscans? They built roads, they used aqueducts, they built temples with a large portico with a cella with three divisions, they wore togas...now you can see that the Romans took those things from them, the Romans developed the arch and put volcanic ash into cement mix and made concrete. The Etruscan men liked their women folk and wanted to be with them.

You do a lot of "what ifs". It would be better to stick to "what was". For example, Julius Caesar was assassinated, he did not survive, and his role in history was done. The Emperors were chosen as you said because the heriditary choices were incompetent, stupid or insane. The same happened in the Islamic world when Ali was assassinated, and that resulted in the divisions we had today. You pronounce Gallic in two ways, it is not Gaulic or Gaelic.

Take a shot every time you hear "we will likely never know" or "that's a story for another time" or something to that effect. Report back.

They traded with the aetheopians

using berber for amazigh people right after explaining that it's a slur is diabolical i loved the video. keep up the good work.

Free Constantinople

3 minutes in and your pronunciation of names is abhorrent

I’m a little confused by this. I think you must be mistaken somewhere. You said that the Latins split off from the same group as the Etruscans. Yet the Etruscans did not even speak an Indo European language, while the Latin spoke an Italic language related to the other Italic languages which had entered the peninsula, which were all Indo European. So you must be mistaken by saying the Latin split from the Etruscans. That is not correct. The Latins were part of a migration into the peninsula, of Italic/Indo-Europeans, while the Etruscans were part of a pre-Indo European group which were there before the Italic speakers. The Etruscans and Latins were not related to each other. Please go back and correct this error.

How does a tribe follow a woodpecker though? Lol

Just the channel i was looking for. Great work and interesting topics !

Damn, who's in early? This channel is going to be big one day.

Looking forward to the Cicero video!

He thinks the Ottomans are the legacy of Rome? hahahahaha what a fucking nutter. A muslim Rome. Can you think of anything more stupid?

so glad somebody loves julian the apostate as much as I do

maybe the successor of the Roman Empire is the Latin we learned along the way

Happy to have found a channel that's not narrated by an AI bot that mispronounces words I learned in 5th grade.

Even if he listen to his father and let them go unharmed. They would still come back for more blood.

2:10 Actually, it is novo homo or homo novo

Your pronunciation of Agricola is slightly off its Agric ola

Ahh yes, pupianus. My old friend from Latin class

I could watch this channel every night.

Kronos' story isn't complete without an understanding of his Roman counterpart Saturn. Though the Greeks were reticent to establish a large cult to him, Saturn had a major cult in Rome; in fact it was one of the most important in the city and empire, with many of his temples scattered throughout the provinces. He was seen as a tough deity, quick to enact punishment (and here he has many similarities with Saturn appearing in other cultures and religions, such as in Hinduism even today). The Romans would not look at these myths as totally literal (I suspect neither did most of the Greeks serious about religion). Even Cicero noted how the story of Saturn devouring his children was meant to signify the cyclical nature of time and how it devours everything, until sometimes a force like Jupiter / Zeus is necessary to put the brakes on that a bit. The Orphic Hymn to Saturn / Kronos relates that he is a force still present in the universe (not an inert one locked away) with many “good” (so to speak) qualities that soften many of the harsher ones given by conventional myths. Due to the Romans’ respect for Saturn, they kept their treasury at his temple in Rome in the Forum, as he is also the god of wealth (his wife Rhea, in Latin, is Ops, where we get the word “opulent” from). Owing to his nature, his cult was mysterious but one of the most important in ancient Rome. And one cannot forget what is likely the most famous Roman holiday: Saturnalia. For a week during the darkest period of the year in late December (more symbolism there), the entire city would shut down, raucous parties with naked revelers would take over the streets. Slaves swapped places with their masters. This was always a joyous, albeit chaotic, time of the year. But it speaks to the supreme respect Romans had for Saturn. In fact, Virgil even famously wrote that everyone was awaiting the return of the reign of Saturn: Redeunt Saturnia Regna

Well done. You are trying like the rest of all well-intentioned classical and blundering amateur historians (such as myself). Of course, Lavinium predates the formation of Magna Graecia by at least five hundred years (1400 to 1200 BC), and this distinction is critical for understanding how Greek influence brought early cultural and linguistic advancements to the nascent Roman civilization. Lavinium, founded in Latium before the establishment of Rome, was a significant settlement directly linked to Italic and Latin tribes. Archaeological evidence, such as Mycenaean artifacts and Linear B tablets, suggests contact with Mycenaean Greeks long before Greek colonization began in Southern Italy. This early Mycenaean influence shows that trade and cultural exchanges were happening well before the formal establishment of Magna Graecia in the 8th century BC. With the establishment of Magna Graecia, Greek settlers brought a fully developed written language to the indigenous Etruscans and Latins, the Greek alphabet, a major leap in communication and record-keeping for early Italic tribes, including the Romans. The Greeks introduced writing, without which Latins could not have developed their alphabet, and the Greeks also brought their political ideas, philosophy, and arts to the region, which the Romans emulated. The Greek colonies in Magna Graecia provided a blueprint for the nascent Roman civilization. The Romans absorbed many Greek innovations, including: Written language: The Greek alphabet directly influenced the development of the Latin alphabet, crucial for Roman administrative, legal, and literary advancements. Cultural ideas: The Greeks’ rich intellectual tradition in philosophy, science, and the arts became the foundation upon which Romans built their cultural identity. Religious practices: The Romans adopted many Greek gods and religious customs, adapting them into their own pantheon and rituals. Political structures: Greek models of citizenship and government, especially those from democratic Athens, strongly influenced Roman Republican ideals.

Your personal opinions are completely irrelevant. I get that it’s your channel and you bc an do whatever you want but I would enjoy your videos much more if you just gave the historical facts/accounts and express your opinions very quickly and then move on and let viewers come to their own conclusions.

Hi, I’m Albanian and I visited many times. I visited money and I see old people who speaking the archaic Albanian language. Most of the Village may be a little of people they confuse now either arc Albanian language with the Greek language because the Greek today they don’t understand shit these people, but one Albanian if they visit them, they understand completely is the same language.

Great job, thanks!

I cant get out of this comment

I believe Rome is a bunch of meth heads who builded it in one night and used ai to produce believable history for Wikipedia and used html code on Microsoft Word in order to create a server that you connect to

this is a little old but is anyone informed on how combat used to be back in the day, I started martial arts training a few years ago and I’ve built a strong relationship with the art of technique Anyways I’d like to know if the Roman’s or neighboring forces had any sort of named combat training Something we can probably crack open today and learn how they swung parried or idk Is there? A source? A document? Anything?

thank you for your videos! you actually have helped me so much!

Bc not bce
