The "Stan" parody in Roman style was hillarious lmao.
Absolutely i paused the video so i could read it all lol!
Marcus didn’t not write back. The ships kept sinking
Anyone else a fan of the underground stuff by Flavius Skam?
Now that you've teased us, you have to release a Romanized cover of "Stan", or the plebeians will revolt
We will secede to the Aventine!
"Remember, Cesar: YOU ARE MORTAL."
This one hits hard.
Your description is realistic, accurate and told in an amazing simple way- one cannot but love it. I am an archaeologist, I know what I studied, and you have rendered it.
"The wisdom past sorrow. The joy beyond pain. Remember, Caesar, you are mortal" hit me.
You have no idea how helpful these videos are to a burnt out art historian who cannot read another academic article to save their life
That Stanius bit oh my god. 2:55
Goes hard!
The ending of this video is genuinely one of the most beautiful things I've heard
I’m sure the romanis magicae team is very good, but I’ll be caught dead before I fund another Roman comic book kickstarter. Looking at you, Lindybeige.
Hi, Matthew here. Yes, I am painfully aware of what happened with Lindybeige. Fun fact: I was seriously considering reaching out to him not that long ago, but then I saw the mess he had made of his crowdfunding campaign, and I thought better of it. I'm a fan of his, but he screwed up big time.
For what it's worth, the books on this campaign are complete and all we have to do is send them off to the printers. Also, this is not our first crowdfunding campaign and we WILL make sure the book gets out in a timely fashion. Any delays or hiccups will be worked out and communicated.
With that said, I understand your reluctance and if you don't wish to donate for any reason that is perfectly alright. I just wanted to let you know that we don't make a habit of promoting incomplete books and not delivering them.
To be fair, Lindybeige is a hack who barely knows what he's talking about, but got a large following by playing a persona that accentuates British stereotypes, which eventually got to his head and made him think he's actually an expert. He used to be entertaining and have the occasional historical insight, but his growing delusions of grandeur have made him unwatchable in the last few years.
@@QuantumHistorian Fair enough, it has been a while since I saw a Lindybeige video. It's a shame really, he did an interview with a guy who went off to fight in the Ukrainian Foreign Legion and came back and I thought it was interesting.
Thank you for this. More Marcus please.
Ok, @2:55 is pure genius.
Donated to the Kickstart. Seems like a comic I would enjoy
I loved this so much! The eloquence was breath-taking. Would you consider doing a series of these "day in the mind" covering other important figures of antiquity? It doesn't have to be all Roman emperors, it can be Pliny (either one lol), Cicero, Leonides, Livia (wife of Augustus), etc, It would be utterly fascinating! Thanks for such a beautiful thoughtful tribute to a great figure in history.
Yes, yes, yes please do!
"By Jupiter, Antonius! Is that a gladius in your toga or are you just happy to see me?" ;)
How many titles is this video going to have? I've already seen it called _"What daily life was like for Roman Emperors"_ and _"A day in the life of Marcus Aurelius"_ and _"A Roman Triumph, Dawn to Dusk"_ all in the first 2 hours!
Especially irritating since those different titles don’t describe to the same thing.
Excellent storytelling.
Huge fan. My wife and I fall asleep to your videos every night. Books are amazing as well. Please, don't stop. Thank you.
That was beautiful, thank you. You have a gift for taking people to places in their minds.
Thank you for creating excellent content! It’s the perfect thing to listen to on the bus or doing chores.
Garrett, your prose here was exquisite! I enjoyed this type of storytelling very much!
Thank you!
It would be deeply beautiful and inspiring to be able to watch a “Day in the life of Emperor Majorian”, portraying the fading strength and last lights of the dying Western Empire in its last moment of glory
Garrett you're really outdoing yourself with this content. Kudos!
What a wonderful presentation. Thank you Dr Ryan.
I really like this storytelling format, it's what got me watching Garrett's channel years ago and I have missed it
Beautifully done.
Professor, tour talent is beyond measure. Thank you!
Mr. Dr. Garrett Ryan, esq.this was fantastic. I never realized the scale of a triumph despite objectively knowing what one entailed. You're a great storyteller. Or should I say orator lol.
Also wanted to say that despite being interested in history and being a closet Romaboo, I found your videos from your first appearance on Forehead Fables. God bless you for putting up with those idiots. Cheers Doc!
Rome = Gay America
One of your best yet.
Man...I hope someone pays you to write a movie about Ancient Rome one day. You breathed life into somebody whose just a name on a page to me.
Outstanding. More like this please.
On 7:35 I would use one of those apps that remove unnecessary details from photographs ( massive tourist crowd in this case) just so the Roman Forum would look more clear and closer to the ancient times as much as possible just like on 8:45. But thank you anyway for the new video 👍
My opium teas gone cold, I'm wondering why I-
Great video! Would love to see more videos from Marcus Aurelius in the future.
A very poetic video - thank you. It brought the Emperor to life.
Imagine a Roman emperor making one of those blatantly fake/flexing "my daily routine"-videos
This was masterful
Who played him better, Alec Guinness or Richard Harris?
I think Guinness had the high ground.
Agreed, Harris' performance may have been smothering, but it was just too short.
The "Stan" parody shows pure dedication to your craft. Bravo
EΧcellent video and fantastic narrative about my favourite roman emperor and philoshoper Marcus Aurelius,.
Can listen to your voice forever.
maj REZ!! this video TOTALLY ressonated w/me. i could almost envision that daily, roman experience marching NW onward to plata, & then to Jupiter's temple, and then to i think 'the future' you indicated . . .
Love it! Grazie!
Tjhanks for the video Marcus Aurelius is my favourite Roman.
I love these videos and have both of your books. I'm going to play Chapter 5: tattoos for my students next week. They will love the history and context of that topic since we are currently studying Anthropology.
Keep up the great work, Garrett 👍
Okay
Simply beautiful!
Just picked up your book at Barnes & Noble can't wait to read it❤
Enjoy!
7:30 I have been to Rome only once so far and I wish I had paid more attention to the via Sacra. It is at the top of my list of sites for my next journey
As always, thanks for this amazing video
Love the channel. Something I noticed is that on the about section you have a statement about naked statues but not the new book. I dont know if that's something you forgot about or intentionality didnt add. Anyways, keep up the great content.
This video was too short, I could have watched for hours
This. Is. Great.
would love to see more small creator/rome related sponsors!
Hi
Thanks for doing the forheadfables podcast thing. (you know sam, sam oand brian stuff.). Educational and entertainin.
Have a nice day, or whatever.
Needed a good thrumming harp beat in the background for Stanius.
Nice!
My, how much things haven't changed in 2000 years.
Hey Mr. Toldinstone. This was a very cool story about the emperor but it reminds me of my own ponderings of what it would have been like for an average person to live in ancient Rome, or any other ancient city in the Roman Empire. What did the people typically eat for their meals? Did they use public toilets or did people have plumbing in their houses? Did they use public baths or private? Did they walk to get where they needed to go, or ride animals, or wagons, or carriages of some sort? You know what I mean. What was a typical day like for the people who lived then?
This is why I think that the vast majority of history we learn is nonsense. Irrelevant. All I learned in high school was that this Kingdom defeated that kingdom 912 years ago, is, if that really tells me anything. I'm willing to bet that life barely changed for most people once war was over. You were still likely a farmer on the same land, you just paid taxes to a different king. I'm curious about what they wore for clothing. How many sets they had. What was their footwear like? What did they use to wipe themselves? Create a giant stew that they would keep heated for days, or did they do each meal from scratch? What were they doing in their leisure time?
0:55 “Aziz LIGHT!”
A question for your Q&As : you already described the absence of public transportation within the city of Rome.
But was there any way to get around between cities and provinces as a common person other than walking?
One could always arrange passage by sea, I suppose?
You could probably pay someone to ride along on their cart, or in a carriage if you could afford it.
There used to be “vehicles” so called “lecticae” consisting in a stretcher like the hospital ones, protected by a canopy for privacy; and you would lay on it while two swiftly walking, road expert slaves, would take you where you wanted to go.
As a common person one doesn’t get to travel much in the ancient world. Joining the army or a travelling merchant was the best bet to see the world, otherwise one might take a short trip to see family in the country by hitchhiking on wagons and walking. Country folk going to the city would likely have their own wagon which they could take.
Excellent episode … “ remember ceaser … your just a man “
3:20 my son and I go to Wal Mart and get the fresh baked Italian bread and we go home and get olive oil, I crush up walnuts or almonds and we add pepper (hand ground) and a bit of salt to it and use it as dip for the bread. Its amazing. Wine would complete the meal, at least for the adults ;) Smart meal!
It's 3:00 AM. I'm trying to get back to sleep, but now all I want is to get some walnuts and pepper and olive oil, and dip some bread in it. Thanks a lot, jerk..
@@jasondashney as long as I inspired you for later, I will take that as a compliment lol
I have Sunday off and I'm having this for pert of my dinner, end of story. Thanks for the idea!@@tommywolfe2706
Wonderful text.
Okay, now you have to do a video about a day in the life of Trajan.
Mr Ryan bring back that old Aurelius thumbnail!!!
You do know how to paint a picture with words
Grātiās maximās tibi agō ! Set this video to loop and you have Ground Hog Day Ancient Rome style.
Would the triumph of Belisarius have been similar? If not, how would it have been different?
7:09 “bish I know. I write that to myself in my diary”
Hey, if I sent you some pictures of some Roman coins could you identify them for me? I had a professor in Uni give me some coins to clean just to learn the techniques for cleaning ancient coins, and I was to return them to him when I was finished for him to identify them for me. Unfortunately, he passed away tragically a day or so later and no one in the course has ever gotten their coins identified.
❤️
Just drank a cask of wine, dare me to ride?
Stanius!! 😂😂😂
7:08 remember guys, the difference between ethics and dictatorship is often very close, so let's vote... this would have been his ultimate wish very I'm sure
Anybody reading this who loves Marcus Aurelius: A must-see is 1964's "The Fall of the Roman Empire." It is such an excellent film, and actually and is especially relevant here not just due to its subject matter dealing with our friend Marcus, but because the timeframe is the exact same as the one dude is reading from in the beginning of the video (sorry bro, I have no clue what your name is): Marcus Aurelius in his final weeks and days. The film is SO excellent and believe me I wouldn't recommend it unless I were virtually 100% certain that everyone here would enjoy it. And the best part: It's on UA-cam for free.
Very well done
Anyone else a fan of the underground stuff by Flavius Skam?
Its easy to be stoic when you are rich and have opium spiked wine for breakfast :D
Imagine how unbearable Romans would be if they had social media and access to comment sections...
Primus
*Edit, turns out I wasn't first. But at least I commented in Latin, so really I'm the real winner.
Primus? Not Primis?
Genuine question- I am teaching myself Latin.
@@db9631 That's lost knowledge. Like who built the Eiffel Tower.
Hewo??? HEWOOOO?!
:)
Man I always smoke when I watch and enjoy these, and let me tell you, high as hell reading " I had a friend exile himself over some chick who didnt want him" even if AI wrote this they were altered haha
But Marcus Aurelius is mortal no longer.
Cowboys in Egypt. It's real.
Enthralling
some say, that the Dutch VOC was the first multinational corporation, but I think the Roman empire actually was it, because it basically was run like a business, just a quite large one. with the emperor being the patron of the entire realm.
The Roman Empire was more of a military dictatorship than a business corporation.
The Knights Templar were a multinational too, before the Dutch VOC.
Like the American Empire.
switch title back the arulius or whatever will get more views in long run dont second guess yourself!
Very nice work especially the illustrations. Rather disturbing though your pronouncing Latin names the American way.
Im first for once!!
first
Meh. I'm not impressed with Marcus Aurelius. But then, I'm not at all a fan of Stoicism. Much, much prefer Epicurus.
this is very much a gay america
new book!?!?! Legs gooo
This is about to be your most viewed video
You find the A/B testing works? I actually preferred the Aurelius title/thumbnail.
I’m dying for a historical fiction novel/short story/whatever kind of literary work (and accompanying audiobook read by you of course) 🫡🙌😭
At 2:54 🤣
