    I've been to the major Roman sites of the Italian peninsula but it still fascinates me how these cities much farther east could be on the same level as the ones closer to the capital. I have to say that videos like this help us keep our minds curious about humanity's history and wonders - Istanbul is already in my bucket list and I guess that Ephesus comes next now.... Keep up the great work!!!

      Thank you. However I would say that Asia Minor, Turkey today, contained many more impressive Roman cities than in Italy. Simply by the fact that they were already great Greek cities which were then Romanized. So the Romans simply had to upgrade them, on top of the greatness that was already there. I will make more videos about such cities in Turkey in the coming years. Thanks for you comment. I hope you get to go to Turkey one day!

      Yes I believe that's what attracted Saint Paul to go there, because it was such a large city for his time. It had all the amenities and had a large population to find converts, so a good place to set up shop. I address all that in my next episode on Christian Ephesus, so stay tuned for it!

      👍!!!. Saul's transformation into Paul by Jesus Himself is a story all it's own. But to see and visit the place Paul actually walked, and RAN for his life, is close to seeing the Jerusalem of Jesus' time. Ephesians, Paul's letter to them as well as his letter to the Romans are the two parts of the Bible, among others, that I can hear Jesus actually speaking to me. Places like Ephesus bring into sharp focus the fact that only Jesus matters. After all , it is called "His-tory". His story. We ARE His story. We've always been His story. All of creation is. And Paul's letter to the Ephesians is his teaching them how to follow Christ. I'll look for that video!!.

    This video is exceptional in the genre of history channels on UA-cam!
    The use of maps and graphic reconstructions of the cities you present and what they might have looked like as you give a tour of what it looks like now,
    makes your videos stand out and exceptional.
    Also, the comparison to what was going on in other parts of the Mediterranean and modern satellite images makes your channel stand out!
    Most of the time on history channels you may get a nice tour of what it looks like now and an explanation of what it looked like, but nothing of the graphics and maps and satellite images that you use.

The Mongols destroyed every building and the river flowing around its walls turned black for several days due to the mass of books thrown into the waters, the ink dissolving quickly in the turbid water.

    Augustus called himself Julius Caesar and maintained the trappings of the existing form of government. He didn't crown himself as Emperor Augustus. He held the office of consul, and by that time the system was so broken and dominated by the office that is equivalent to president (not king), that we retrospectively regard it as the beginning of the imperium. The office of "emperor" really means the heir of the private estate of Augustus, and it doesn't become a true state office until it passes out of julio-claudian hands.

The fact that a junior senator was named "president" *and* "speaker of the house" (and chief justice), for life, is exactly what I mean when I say the system was totally broken. The title of Princeps was not something new created for the new "Emperor." It was a pre-existing office, meant to be the most senior member of the Senate. Like just about every other title of significance, they simply gave it to the guy who was dominating them. All of the checks and balances of the Republican system were defeated, but nobody called game over. We call it the Principate at that point.

    Most people wonder how Julius Caesar and Marcus Antonius were able to communicate with Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt. The reason is that Greek was the language of the high society and being able to speak Greek was considered posh in ancient Rome and Cleopatra, being of Greek-Ptolemean root not only spoke Greek, but several other languages as well.

      @@Street-Gems She spoke 9 languages including Latin, but probably to impress Cleopatra Caesar and Antonius probably used the posh Greek to communicate with here, which was her native language. To her Egyptian subordinates she spoke Coptic (the ancient Egyptian language) fluently. It seems she was so good in speaking languages she hardly needed interpreters when foreign ambassadors visited her. A true and clever lady indeed.
