If Sulla was from this century: "No friend ever served me and no enemy ever wronged me who did not get the helicopter ride they deserved."
Context? Sorry
Ahhhhhh, The way of Papa Pinochet.
Pinocet no?
"He just decided to renounce his power." I am reminded of Pinochet calling for elections in Chile, losing, and abiding the results.
that happened? wtf
from the way that's talked about you'd think it doesn't happen.
Sulla tried to play nice guy by giving his opponents leniency, but they returned the favor by killing all his friends, and burning down his house, while he was away in the east protecting Rome’s interests. Marius is responsible for breaking with precedents and reforming the military, which led to this sort of thing. Sulla even released his dictatorship and gave power back to the senate
The Marius -Sulla Era is one of the most interesting in Roman history.
Sulla: The Last Republican is a fantastic book and has managed to convince me that Sulla was based as fuck, highly recommend
'the days of being reasonable are over'
Amen to that
I may have to buy this series from the website. Lots of videos about Marius, but your presentation is top-tier.
By the masters of Rome series by Colleen McCollough
@@abigailslade3824 He could buy it too.
Beau's history podcasts are so awesome. I absolutely love anything historical and being narrated his way is awesome. I'd love a British history podcast, pretty please.😊
When he was a young man he was considered Romes most handsome man, however while in the east he suffered a terrible illness that ruined him.
We're due for Sulla
He kill my Pa he kill my Ma but I still vote for him. - Sulla's election slogan probably
vote blue no matter who
My interpretation of the Sulla-Marius conflict and the paralels that can be drawn from it is a bit different from what some of the commenters seem to believe. Sulla was a member of the optimates, the party that murdered the Gracchus brothers who pushed for land reform and stood up for the pauperized independant small farmers whose farms were wrecked in the Punic wars in Italy. The optimates were the oligarchs in the Roman Republic who owned all the latifundiums, large lands that they bought up from the middle class that was going bankrupt because they were the ones who went to serve in the military and couldn't attend their farms while they were away. Contrary to that, Marius, and later Caesar, his nephew were on the side of the populares.
Apropos of nothing that’s happened recently in NY courtrooms, I’m sure
It's great to hear about characters in history. It's like real storytime.
Sounds like Lenin, Stalin, Robespierre. The Terror.
My favourite period of history.
🤔Watch my country destroyed or have a Sulla conserve it?
Threaten me with a good time and watch me dance.🕺🏼💃
Then Sulla kills you because your sister decided to be an SJW or something
I wonder, how long a list would the names of every corrupt statesman, newsperson, and corpo amount to?
With this in mind, I find myself unable to think ill of Sulla's actions. Perhaps he was just the kind of man we sorely need right now.
That can do attitude is greatly needed in these times of weakness.. The actions of a normal man should never come as a shock to anyone.. Unless maybe until the corruption has reached epic new levels
Sulla was unimaginably based
the bust with the nose missing is, I gather, more likely to be Scipio Africanus than Sulla
I think not... I'd be interested to know where you got that info from though?
I don't think so, this bust with the nose missing is at the Glyptothek in Munich (I saw it personally)
@@HistoryBromea culpa here, looking into it more this does look to be a Sulla bust. There is another bust with the exact same piece missing that was misidentified as Sulla and looks incredibly similar - probably why it was identified as such
I think they should restore the nose as it's removal was an act of vandalism and not as intended by the sculptor.
Ancient helicopter rides.
Very interesting
if only trump would do this in NY
So well read,
Really interesting, thank you
I love the narrative of Sulla just leaving power one day and the story of the boy shouting at him as he leaves it really touches on the modern era. You have politicians or elites who think they are doing public good and don't even realize how badly they destroyed everything for a slight extension of the status quo when they eventually retire.
We need a deeply conservative Machiavellian right now.
Incomprehensibly fuckin’ based Sulla.
this was wild
AY UP LOTUS EATERS
Make Sulla Great Again
We mean this politically, of course.
I've never seen this bronze sculpture of Sulla before (thumbnail pic). Does anyone know where it is from and where more images of it can be found online?
👍
I have ulcers like him.....oh no
Enjoy the butt worms!😮
No more - Sulla probably
sounds like he died from sepsis from a burst appendix.
Then again, maybe he actually did save the Republic unlike the others. I don't know enough to say.
The collapse was in full swing by then, and the trend of dictators seizing power is what led to the end regardless (ie. Julius Caesar 50 years later). The cure was worse than the disease. How could a bunch of tribunes who shared power in order to merely bully the senate, out and out end the republic? No, it took someone with maximum power to undo the laws that made up the republic.
In truth, the answer is always a balancing of two extremes.
I want to see something similar during Trump's 2025 inauguration, but limited to democrats, never-Trump Republicans, and lefty celebrities.
aaaggghh - watched this and at the end i hear ( to watch the WHOLE video ) no way - no way do i want to hear about someone as insane as pol pot or idi amin.... nightmare city man...
0:13 you can thank the early Christians for the nose job, on an otherwise very impressive piece of artwork.
But but but Christianity based????
It’s strange, but it almost makes him look like Voldemort with hair. It’s surreal, how he basically becomes a monster terrorizing his own people. Defacing the monument is wrong, but it’s kind of poignant in its own way (thank heavens it was not completely destroyed)
I'm not sure we can definitively say it was done by early Christians. Protruding areas of statues are often damaged by moving, removing, looting etc. There is an old pagan tradition originating in Egypt that removing the nose of a statue would render the statue powerless. Iconoclasm among many religions has certainly defaced statues but normally in more extreme or obvious ways, such as carving a cross into the face.
@@oatdilemma6395Yes
"What has Christianity ever done for us" hey!
Sulka more like. Amirite?!?
Hallelujah!!! I’m the favorite, $60,000 every week! Now I can afford anything and also support the work of God and the church.
Oh really? Tell me more!
This is what Ana Graciela Blackwelder does, she has changed my life.
After raising up to 60k trading with her, I bought a new house and car here in the US and also paid for my son’s (Oscar) surgery. Glory to God.shalom.
I know Ana Graciela Blackwelder, and I have also had success...
Absolutely! I have heard stories of people who started with little or no knowledge but managed to emerge victorious thanks to Ana Graciela Blackwelder.
IMAGINE IF TRUMP DID THIS!
Oh no! We would lose all the fine ladies on the View! Heaven forfend! 😂😂😂

@@jeremybrimmer1990 I didn't say it would be a bad thing!
You get a dislike for labeling Sulla an "ultra-conservative". The concepts of conservative and liberal did not even exist back then and this has absolutely nothing to do with conservatives.
You’re not as smart as you think you are
I'm sorry, bud, do you think the concept of conservation is new or something? There have been conservatives, reactionaries, and radicals throughout all of time and in every place. What each of those terms mean is context-dependent, but very evident in said context
He was an Optimate, their policies were oriented around preserving Rome as it had been before.
This is a conservative position and has nothing to do with modern conservatism.
Christ is risen
Everyone from Mommsen to Durant to Dan Carlin use words like conservative and liberal and radical when describing Roman politics. It's completely common practice.
