the real question is how often do you think about the Roman Empire, Chris?
No, the real question is how often does HE think about the Roman Empire?
@@LightxHeavenHE IS the Roman Empire
@@johnwhittaker311 HE IS the Empire
What is this question?
Why do I find it so often now-a-day's?
The empire I think of is the one on which the sun never sets 🇬🇧
Chris’ excitement for “he” always makes me so unreasonably happy 😭
I mean...how could one not be excited about this awesome being! :D
One of the reasons I click on these videos, he always gets so pumped up about He
He was setting up spawn points for when he gets reincarnated. He'll be born in Spain.
That is what He had done this before
He has played this game twice so he knows the best spawn points
Cincinnatus didn’t just almost have dictatorial powers, he was made dictator by the senate. But after having dealt with the army of the Aequi people in only like 16 days, he handed over power. However, we don’t know how much of this story actually is true
Cincinnatus is the reason why Cincinatti is named the way it is. Only Cincinnatti was named after George Washington, the American Cinninatus, because of The Society of Cinninatti was based there. Little fun tidbit of history :D
If it wasn't true, it would let the republic in a self destructive disaster early on its history.
In the early and middle republic, "dictator" meant something very different to what it would become under Sulla and Caesar (and what it means today). A dictator was far from an absolute ruler of the Republic
Cincinnatus served as dictator twice (which was an position granted by the senate for 6 months) one was to fight the Aequi and another was to put down an pleb uprising
He is known for resigning the position relatively early tho
The great mystery in my household: Someone keeps flipping the toilet paper from the correct way you mentioned, to the incorrect way and no one is fessing up to it. I think they know how great my disappointment would be to know my own family members would do this 😂
HE has been fighting the Nazis since the days of the Roman Empire 😂
Oversimplified usually take 1-1.5 years to make his videos.
Hopefully we'll see some soon :D
The phrase "Rome wasn't built in a day" is one of those idioms that has actually switched its' meaning. The full phrase ends with "but it was destroyed in one".
12:28
The Translation got it right, indeed, L. Caesar (Lucius Caesar) really did die suddenly in AD 2
Lucius was Augustus' grandson through his daughter Julia and his friend Agrippa, and he was being raised (with his brother) to be a sort of co-ruler of Rome (again, with his brother), he was personally adopted as Augustus' adopted son (with his brother, yet again,) sadly, he died very young.
His brother, Gaius Caesar, suffered the same fate, yet dying less suddenly of an illness or something, both (or just Gaius I don't remember well) served as consuls, yet both died very young, the older brother Gaius dying in AD 4, forcing Augustus to change his succession plan, Tiberius and Nero Claudius Drusus (i.e. Germanicus) were then chosen as heirs, and well, Tiberius succeeded.
I do wonder how history would've changed if the two brothers didn't die so young, Lucius was 18 and Gaius was 23, and by the time Augustus died they'd still be fit to rule.
Edit: 14:26 'He' probably refers to Claudius
I’m glad you set the record straight about proper toilet paper orientation and etiquette.
Spoken like someone who’s never had a cat. 😂

HE is back!
He is eternal.
I do remember someone once arguing that from their point of view Republic never died. Their understanding of what Res Publica was just evolved over the centuries.
That would, I think, be a better way of thinking about the whole thing.
I think I remember a guest on the History of Byzantium podcast arguing about that. Maybe Anthony Kaldellis?
Fresh off the presses "He has arrived"
The "HE" lore continues....
HE: Origins :-3
8:18
the subreddit agrees with you
13:05
The "making a horse into a senator" thing never actually happened. The story was something like political satire that was about how unpredictable Caligula was.
“Hey Wales I’m coming next year” was very very ominous Chris
While i love serious history, these, paired with your commentary just makes these videos so enjoyable and so funny :3
I hope you are doing fine and having a good day Chris, and everyone else who's reading this
9:04 Actually, the Teutones and the Ambrones ("Teutons and Umbrians") actually crossed the Rhone river and attacked Italy. Gaius Marius, the Roman general, consul, and the greatest Roman military reformer, defeated them in the battle of "Aquae Sextiae" (I think that's where the "fleet" comes from). And if I remember correctly, "Teuton" was a term applied to all Germanic peoples by Julius Caesar and since the Teutonic Order was originally German, I think the name came from the Latin word "Teuton" which means "German".
13:00 this is correct. Caligula's father Germanicus was a celebrated general and second in line for the throne after Tiberius. Tiberius most likely had Germanicus assassinated. While on the border with Gaul, Caligula had custom made soldier gear and since he was so young, the other soldiers affectionately nicknamed him 'little boot' or Caligula in Latin. His real name was Gaius Germanicus.
Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus to be specific
9:01 is-is that a warning?
I was totally thinking the same thing about a missed opportunity when he said "data was rejected". Should've had a picture of Ðata. 👍
The Joe Biden image is a popular meme: "It's Joever"
How often do I think about the Roman Empire? Well I majored in history, minored in classics, took 5 semesters of Latin in college in which the works of Cicero were often a focal point, took a module on the Roman Empire at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, and have recently started to rewatch HBO's Rome in honor of the late Ray Stevenson. So quite often.
Chris asked when the new Oversimplified Punic Wars episode is coming. This means it will be posted soon.
He always pause the video to talk about something and it happens soon after xD
I love your channel keep up the great stuff
Caligula got the nickname from the soldiers in the army that his father commanded. Because he was always there with his father on campaign. And the soldiers loved him as a sort of good luck mascot. (if my memory serves)
Caligula means “sandal” or “foot”. His name was actually Julius Caesar if I remember correctly. They gave him the nickname Caligula when he was a baby.
Your content is awesome Chris!😊😊😊😊
How weird is he went to Spain and was born in Spain in a previous episode
Would "Cincinnati" be pronounced as "Kinkinnati" in latin?
Yep. Just like Cicero is Kikero
There is a difference in the newer reconstructed Latin (hard K) and the ecclesiastical Latin used by the church since however long, being slowly changed. I think that's where the s sound for c comes from.
Chris, I have an amazing video idea for you: the next April Fools Day react to your previous April Fools Day video "Why Woodrow Wilson is the BEST. PRESIDENT. EVER." and act like you have never heard about the video or the person uploading the video before.
i love it how in a lot of his videos he’s like “this is not an area i know a lot about” but then shocks us by being a professor in that certain topic
In Starcraft 2 there was a strategy called the archon toilet using archons' splash damage and mothership's vortex (blackhole) ability
Bit of trivia regarding York - Eboracum: the name of the city has the same etimological origin as the current city of Évora in Portugal. Évora in Roman times was known as Ebora from the ancient celtic "ebura/ebora" which translates as the name for the tree "Yew". Eboracum (modern day York) comes from the ancient celtic "Ebora Kon" meaning "place of yews".
I was thinking if you will react to this and you did and that is amazing and also when will you do more ck3
5:10 In fact, George Washington was described contemporarily as "the Cincinnatus of the West" by Lord Byron, and was often compared to him by men such as Philip Freneau, John Trumbull, and the sculptors Antonio Canova and Jean-Antoine Houdon. Washington was also the first President General of the Society of the Cincinnati, named after Cincinnatus and conceived by Henry Knox.
This is my first time commenting here, but I had to get Chris's attention to watch Historia Civilis's new video: Work. Because it is truly fascinating. (btw love your content :))
21:47 You will notice, the toilet paper is on a free standing holder and not in a wall mount. There is no right or wrong way because they are both over the top.
More HE Lore!
Extra History's first series was on the First Punic War, def with checking out.
This might be one of my favourite series lol.
There was a mantis on my living room ceiling the other day. I have no idea how it got there.
great vid, a part of me is very curious how'd you react to Tribunate's content. he makes awesome roman videos, mainly their culture.
its a religion to always watch a vth video
According to my understanding of the Latin language, Mantis ends in “is” meaning it must be a third declension noun. Because of this, the nominative plural of “preying mantis” in English should be “preying mantises”.
or just “praying mantes”
@@nathanjiang100 true
The Latin plural, as noted, is "mantes." The word is actually Greek, where the plural is "mantides."
@@drs-xj3pb you are totally right. I had a point but I didn’t follow through on it
Which area of Wales are you going to next year? I would love to meet you and ask you questions about your channel and history. Keep up the good work
Still working on that but Wrexham for sure. Probably going to the game on Feb 10.
This is now the 3rd time I thought about the Roman Empire this week.
This really made me think about the Roman Empire
everybody is talking about oversimplified not uploading lol, i hope he will soon
About the Teutonic and Umbrians, what it is trying to translate is about the tribes Cimbri and Teutones, who destroyed Roman armies in northern Italy until Marius fought and defeated them
I was looking at your trip itinerary for Rome/Florence. I hope you don't need to leave for the trip too far in advance. The trip starts on April 10th. A total solar eclipse is passing over Cleveland on April 8, 2024. I know that because I live in DFW which will also have it pass over head on its way NE from Mexico
I’m leaving on that evening of the 8th. It will pass through here in the early afternoon.
@@VloggingThroughHistory Off topic as usual. 😊. Extra History is doing a series on Henry Ford. You've got to check it out. I know you have plans for Germany and all that, but when you get a chance.
Has he already reacted to History Civilis' Ceasar series? It's mighty fun
“I, Claudius” is my go to for TV about Roman history.
now ive been waiting for this one LOL
The myth is that Boudica is buried under King's Cross railway station.
8:15 woah, did you just predict Oversimplified was going to do the Punic Wars Series next?
Hey Chris, I don’t know where we should put video suggestions, but given that this is (tangentially) related to this, I have another channel I think you should check out called Possible History. While he specializes in alt-history, he also does some really well-researched true history. One that I would love to see you react to is “Every Claimant to Rome ever, how Rome finally fell in 2011” for a real history video, and for an alt-history video, there’s two I think you would enjoy, “What is France won the war of the Spanish Succession” (which has some royal genealogy in it) and “What if Napoleon Accepted the Frankfurt Proposal”
He’s even started doing a new series of videos called “What if history went perfect for x” with videos on Russia, Rome, and Bulgaria off the top of my head.
And if you’d rather keep the sillier theme of this video, check out his latest videos on “what if viewers voted on x” series
The Oversimplified guy was
spotted in Tokyo at some point
this year by people who know them.
I got bit by a mantis once as a kid (it was in the backyard of a neighbor’s house) it hurt bad
Phillip stopped fighting 😂
light hearted vibessss
proceeds to tell that the female mantis rips the head off of a male come mating time, lmao i love it
My university circuits professor, some foreign guy from Egypt, often speaks in sentences where he'll just say something like "if he says" or "he's telling us" while not referring to any specific person in particular. My friends and I have made a joke of the prof is "expanding 'He' lore" whenever this prof mentions a nameless "He" in his lectures.
I haven't seen a StarvHarv vid in this style yet so I wasn't ready for the running jokes (especially "he") but now that I'm caught up, it's time for me to go back into the catalog.
Ooh, what's happening early next year?
Okay second comment. That was one of the funniest videos I've seen in awhile. My stomach hurts from laughing. Whoever HE is, I am all for.
Hey love your content. Do you ever think about doing mob history??
Disappointed that they skipped over the reign of Emperer Biggus Dickus.
😂😂😂
In the time of the Roman Empire, the word was an endonym referring to Indo-Iranians. It became co-opted into the super sucky version in the late 1900s
Respectfully, I don't quite agree on the "emperor thing". After all, "Imperator" in latin doesn't mean "monarch" "king" or "sovereign"; rather, it denotes a "commander who holds power over armies" (imperium literally means dominion, power over, etc...). So, any military commander, even a king like Romulus or a republican consul can be an imperator.
Passing by to say Roaming History uploaded.
Antimantis sounds like a villain's name, a youtuber, or a Pokemon. Perhaps all three. lol
Great work. Could you also review 'Odd Compass'. The channel is about South Asian history.
10:18 not Augustus doing 360 no scope😭😭😭
If you're curious about who the aryans were, basically, they are the people group who we now know as the Iranians and they would also form a big part of the gene pool of the people's of south Asia in fact a lot of the old Iranian languages like old persian and bactrian didn't call their language persian or bactrian they called them aryan or in the case of bactrian ariano so yeah.
The Alans, who accompanied the Goths in their jaunt across the Roman Empire to Spain, were Aryans as well (Iran=Aryan=Alan). The Alans who stayed home are today called Ossetians.
Tomorrow Jimmy Carter turns 99!
Tomorrow is Jimmy Carter’s 99th birthday
You are correct about the toilet paper!
Caligula's name is literally
Gaius Julius Caesar Germanicus
He's basically Caesar the Younger, lmao
Loved the series Rome, unfortunately i think it ended so quick because it cost a lot to produce
Still want to see you react to Kings and Generals’ videos on the Roman Civil War, even if you don’t know *that* much about it. It’s a thrilling time. Plz.
I actually read Caesar's book, Bellum Gallicum. I wonder, why did Caesar never refer to himself in first person. He never said the word "ego" in his book. Though he referred to Caesar as the Greatest General who ever lived, it is hard for me to believe that he wrote all these words about himself.
Because you are thinking it like a book, not tablets created to be read in public. Not everybody knew reading until this century, there were only a few people able to read in an household or a village. Those people read the contents to the others.
This is why Caesar never mentions himself by the first name, because it is designed to be that Caesar himself is not the narrator of it. designed
I know this because I live in asia, (and since it is very hard to learn Asian scripts, although we don't use Chinese one). As a small child I remember my father reading news to the people when we visit old country.
I do believe I remember it being called the Arrian war. War with Arrianus or something. No proto-europeans here.
Hey Chris... Absolutely love your videos. Question for you... Lemmino just hit 5m subs, and he did a Q/A video. Right at the beginning, he answers a question about reaction videos. I'm curious your "reaction" to his comments lol. I thought that reaction videos bring revenue to the original video? He claims that they don't? Please clarify this if you can. Ok, have to go watch more of your videos!!!
I've never stated that reaction videos bring revenue to the original video. In most cases they do not. I even did a video about that. Oversimplified had a third party that claimed the revenue on my reactions to their videos, but OS has since requested that company stop doing that on my reactions.
@@VloggingThroughHistory I gotcha, thanks for that reply
You don’t get Praying Mantis in Ohio? I live in Illinois and saw three yesterday!
Also, the size comparisons are huge! They’re one of the only species where the female is bigger than the males. By over three inches!
Females are bigger than males more often than not among fish and insects (where there is sexual dimorphism, that is), which together account for the vast majority of animal species.
"Aryan" means Indo-Persian. The reason the Nazis adopted the term is because of a theory that the ancestors of Europeans came from that region, so since Germans had to be the original pure European stock they had to be the "real" Aryans.
If you like Roman history you should check out Historia Militum. He's a smaller channel but makes content primarily surrounding Ancient Rome and occasionally the Greeks.

If you spin the toilet paper holder 180 degrees isn't the problem instantly fixed? I think the controversy only applies to wall mounted dispensers.
Honestly... A horse as a president wouldn't be the worst thing America has done... HE has my vote!
He lore! He lore! He lore!
Proud to be a toilet paper heathen.
If you want an entertaining way to learn about the Roman Republic I can't recommend the Masters of Rome series enough.
I hope you check out Unbiased History of Rome by Dovahatty. Good information with funny summaries of all of Roman history.
390BC, Aryan War... Was the first time Rome get sacked, Gaul king sacked the Rome, killed most of the senator (and it continues getting sacked as time passing by Most valuable city in the ancient time after all).
People mostly knows about the Sack of Rome as the time Goth sacked Rome 800 years later (2nd time it got sacked)... or the one that Sabaton made song about.
Do you really not see many wild praying mantises where you are?!? That’s bizarre to me considering the wealth of animals you have naturally occurring around you part of the us. For example, in my 28 years I’ve never seen a snake in the UK. On my first day in the US i saw a diamond back and had to catch and kill it (NC). I’d assume a praying mantis wouldn’t be particularly exotic (in a loose term as you don’t see them often) but I see plenty. Such a foreign concept to places so familiar
Do Dovahhatty's Rome series next. Those are priceless
Any sane person with any knowledge of the Romans has to fantasize about seeing the Roman legions in battle formations at the height of their glory.
Um ... no. I'll stay well clear of that, if you don't mind.
