This brings me back to Latin class. We wanted names like the Spanish and French kids but the teacher went on a tangent all about Roman names just like this video. We never did end up getting the names... Nice video man I'm subscribing!
Marcus Agrippa's full name was Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa so Agrippa was his cognomen. His daughter was named Vipsania Agrippina (known as Agrippina the Elder). In turn, her daughter was named Julia Agrippina (known as Agrippina the Younger). Julia after her father's nomen Julius (Germanic Julius Caesar) , and Agrippina after her mother's cognomen.
So you're telling me that me naming my children by numbering them isn't "Patricial cruelty" but it's just me showing my Roman side? Good to know! I'll need to tell one, two, three!
Not quite. Emperor Caracalla was not called "Caracalla", his birth name was Marcus Aurelius Severus. He later adopted the cognomina "Antoninus" and "Augustus", which in full is the name "Marcus Aurelius Severus Antoninus Augustus". Formally, he was referred to as 'Antoninus', and I didn't want to overcomplicate the fun fact by also talking about his nickname Caracalla. As for Marcus Aurelius, born Marcus Annius Verus, he became Marcus Aurelius Antoninus Augustus, and was generally referred to, as you rightfully noted, as "Marcus Aurelius". So you are absolutely correct, the picture is of Caracalla. But the name is also Caracalla's name and the deed described, the enfranchisement of the provincial subjects, was performed by Caracalla in 212 AD. For comparison, Marcus Aurelius ruled from 161 until his death in 180. But absolutely, "Caracalla" is a fascinating nickname, considering it's a femine word given to someone whose position as emperor would have been perceived as the most masculine and manly calling anyone could hope for. Thank you for your comment!
Great video, however, there is one small nitpick. You identified Octavius as a Roman Emperor or Imperator, however, it would have been most accurate to simply refer to him as Princeps. Besides that, it was a very well made and informative video, nice work.

9:04 that's what she said
Awesome video!
Cheers!
This really speaks to me on a personal level, love the video dad, keep it up, mum sends her love
I clearly established in a video that a mum would be called "Walcanara"! I think youre lying, Walcy.
How does this imply I am lying, I am WalcanarUS, I am a male.
interesting video, but Julius Caesar's father and grandfather were both called Gaius Julius Caesar. Were the whole dynasty particularly hairy?
I have no precise information on the hairiness of the Julians, I am afraid.
Oh wow, Ted52! I saw this on reddit and didn't expect you to be the one that made this video haha. (Fellow Paradox player here)
What can I say, modding is exhausting. :)
I am arab and I wish that roman empire still there
I live roman history
Well, if there was more Roman history, there'd be less of other histories, so it's a give and take certainly :)
Nice, you should make more of these informative videos
At the end where you showed Marcus Aurelius, you used a picture of caracalla instead. Also an interesting nickname btw
