    Most of the documentaries on the Roman history depict Rome at the peak of its glory, during the Late Republic and Early Empire. Yet, Rome started from the humble beginnings, as a singular city-state that struggled for its survival, and was on the brink of annihilation on many occasions. During one of them, the Gallic Senones led by their king Brennus defeated the Romans at Allia and then sacked the city. After a 7 months long siege, the city and the Republic were saved by Marcus Furius Camillus, who would enter history as the second founder of Rome.

      Rome wasn't the capital by then, and the Visigoths just took the gold without negotiation. We know that they didn't take all the gold, as both the Vandals and (ironically enough), the Eastern Roman Empire took more. The gold which was on the Pantheon's roof was taken by an Eastern Roman Emperor, btw.

      @anirbanbhattacharya9185 5 років тому +76

      Decadence begins when the gold spent on displaying wealth exceeds that spent on defending it. The rampant corruption meant that provinces were highly localized administrations and not extensions of the Senate in transit ie the Imperator aka the Caesar's will. Flavius Aetius, Stilicho, Marjorian- all three of them were figures who could have saved Rome. But there were all victims of the Power Sharing Paradox as presented by Isaac Asimov. Basically whenever you have any combination of a general and an Emperor, typically one of them will betray the other. Typically. Stilicho and Aetius were killed by their Emperors, Marjorian was betrayed by his co-ruler. Rome could have survived if the will to make the Empire survive prevailed among its citizenry and its elites as much as it did among its rulers. Like I said... decadence- when sons have grown fat on their father's toils without understanding the whys or wherefores. The patricians owned vast tracts of land thry did not work appropriately and had to rely on slaves to do the work. While honest citizens were denied good farmland.

      @@anirbanbhattacharya9185 yeah, I've always had the notion that a strong sense of nationalism instilled and indoctrinated into the roman people throughout its' classes could have saved them, as soldiers would be less likely to flee and fight more fiercely, and the rulers and generals would have been working more towards the benefit of the empire than their own.

      True but by the law of unintended consequences it did result in a rather bad affair as when Rome was attacked after being lazy and paying off a invader for decades, they’ve alienated former allies by saying they weren’t considered Roman based on race
      That may also be at fault to the Roman education system- See James Madison, Cicero’s criticism of the education system and the Greek slave education system compared to today’s it’s nearly the same and the function is the same just with different wording
      However that is Ethnicity passing off as nationality and neglect of the government for doing the opposite of what Rome did before which was alienate and isolate themselves

    It should be noted that 4-5 centuries later when Ceasar invaded Gaul, he was surprised to find out that the druids there knew the exact date when Rome was sacked by Brennus. The Gauls were not as barbaric and as divided as the Romans thought they were and they actually had a common history although it was probably orally passed down rather than being written.

    There are multiple depictions of this conflict, and modern historians often disagree with the primary sources. Yet, we decided to go with Plutarch, Livy and Diodorus Siculus, and weave our narrative around their accounts. In short, it is a watershed moment of the Roman history, everything prior is almost mythical, everything after is detailed and historical. Thanks for watching, we appreciate your support. :-)

    really cool. interesting side note-- there is no contemporary Roman History preceding this event, as the sack destroyed virtually all previously collected public records. so every "historical" event, like the founding of Rome, or the rules of the kings, or the Brutus Revolt, the Horatii, the Fabian War, or even Coriolanus, are all from the oral tradition, family legends, and rumors.

  • @bonanapi
    @bonanapi 5 років тому +10

    I find the idea of Roman hoplites so much more appealing than their later legionaries. To me, it gives the early Roman wars something more romantic. But that might just be because I am in love with the idea of city-states. It has always bothered me how early Roman soldiers were depicted in my Latin textbooks since they usually used illustrations from the Victorian and renaissance era, which don't resemble the historic version at all.

    • @KingsandGenerals
      @KingsandGenerals  5 років тому +9

      Yeah, I can see it. There is something inherently good about the direct democracy. Obviously, it was flawed, but still.

    • @bonanapi
      @bonanapi 5 років тому +8

      Indeed, wars usually feel more justified when driven by a larger body of citizens, instead of a senatorial elite. I can see the logic behind the republican system and am of course impressed by its success. However, I tend to have a strong bias towards Athens in ancient history. I can't help but notice that the history of the Athenian democracy has something tragic, seeing how often the voters hurt their own system.

    • @unacittabizzarraechiassosa4143

      @fourdeck33 5 років тому +6

      Direct democracy didn't really work out too well for the Athenians in Sicily, especially when a single demagogue can whip the crowd into a jingoistic fervor.

    • @bonanapi
      @bonanapi 5 років тому +3

      Exactly, Athenians tended to make the wrong decisions. The crowd often favoured aggressive politicians (with sharp tongues) and ignored the more tempered advice. At least that is the impression I get from Thucydides and Diodorus. My favourite Cassandra's in Athenian history are Perikles and Phocion.

Shakespeare's play seemed to capture the complexity of Commodus, a man who was a great military strategist and tactician, could not fathom the importance that the people's will had in politics. And this video also seems to capture that dichotomy while presenting the reality of Rome's inner political turmoil.
