They watered down the wine also because at the time wine was really strong, it had much more alcool percentage than now so a glass of straight wine back then was enough to get you drunk. The water made it possible to enjoy more than one glass.
I always have water nearby when drinking. Maybe it was easier to water it down since it wasn't installed in their kitchen sinks at the time? I only know one thing for certain... nobody on this comment section will ever experience such grand parties!
@@living4adrenalineEven if the wine is made the same way, the alcohol content can vary depending on the ripeness of the grapes, the fermentation duration, the climate conditions, the grape variety, and the winemaking choices. The Romans drank a wine that, in some ways, can be considered similar to Amarone della Valpolicella, especially due to the use of grape drying techniques and the sweetness and body of the wines. However, there are also significant differences in production techniques and the final taste. After the harvest, the grapes are laid out on mats in well-ventilated rooms for a process called *appassimento*. During this period, which lasts about 3-4 months, the grapes lose about 30-40% of their weight due to water evaporation, thus concentrating the sugars and aromas. It is a wine with a high alcohol content, which can reach up to 15-16%. This is due to the *appassimento* process, which concentrates the sugars in the grapes, and the long fermentation, which allows a large portion of these sugars to convert into alcohol.
I’m afghan n have def Persian n some Macedonian (Alexander the great not my relative but since he came by lol) waaaaay back. My ancestors were Buddhist n one alone the line married into a Zoroastrian family and then time went on now it’s Islamic.
Jace Rivera correct. In fact it was also the containers wine came in that were lined with lead. Lead poisoning is most probably the reason so many emperors were so, well obviously insane. Roman emperors are infamous for their eccentricity but it might have actually all been due to lead poisoning; this needs to be known more by everyone who is interested in the topic! The little ironic twist here is that the lower in class and wealth you were, the less likely you were to drink from these lead-poisoned containers (and the opposite was true, the richer and fancier the more wine you drank and so the more poisoned you were) so it was actually better for your health overall; a commoner or even a slave might have been healthier than the emperor at the time. Also beer as mentioned was mostly a poor person’s drink but it was obviously far better for your health.
Jace Rivera it’s amazing to see really how little was known, even among the elites, which throughout history until very recently had a massively disproportionate amount of power and therefore access to the best and most knowledgeable doctors, advisors etc, engage in things which most people would consider unimaginably self-defeating, unhealthy, and stemming from just plain ignorance, that is common knowledge today but widely practised not too long ago. In fact it was the inverse of what one would expect, with the upper classes having the more unsavoury and debilitating habits, largely due to their debauchery and access to far-flung reaches. Syphilis was rampant in the Renaissance after it was brought back from the new world, but again, largely affected the elites as they would be more likely to commingle with those who had travelled far and wide. Incestuous relationships were common among royalty, which we now know is the cause of birth defects and genetic abnormalities such as the Hapsburg lip, for instance but even after thousands of years (the Egyptians were known for it) it never occurred to anyone to stop, despite the obvious lewd and foul implications. Make-up, from Ancient Egyptian kohl, right up until the 18th century, was also lead-based. And as someone who visibly wore a lot of it, as in all her portraits, that doesn’t greatly surprise me that she did! So we had these insane, brain-damaged and poisoned people who often died before the age of 30 making decisions for the rest of society for most of history? Incredible, but true
Saturnalia actually was a holiday where the survents/slaves would get to kind of be in charge within reason, they could tell the upper class to wash their clothes and do the cooking etc. The lower and upper classes had dinner party's where they'd all gather and eat together, form relationships in society, listen to concerns and help each other. It was a brilliant way to reinforce societies the rich understood the poor the poor taken the piss out of the rich everyone was together and living during saturnalia. It was so much more than just getting drunk.
It's worth pointing out that Roman views on sexuality were very different. For instance, you may wonder why barbarians are always depicted with large phalluses whereas statues of famous Romans almost always have the tiniest wedding tackle. This is because Roman society viewed cunning and intellect as inversely proportional to ones physical "manhood." It is very likely that the notorious debauchery of many of infamous Romans was greatly exaggerated in order to destroy their historical legacy. The Romans were very aware of legacy and spreading rumours of sexual depravity was a common move in the political playbook for ancient Rome. It's much more interesting to believe it all but in reality most of it was likely invented posthumously to ruin a politicians legacy or contemporaneously to discredit them in their time.
Yeah but what I know about humans just in my half century of life makes me think that it’s probably not too outta left field to believe the rumours were true.

A lot of it was about status, just like in real life now. People who don’t have as much of a status in high school don’t really get invited to parties. They even drink wine, just to improve their appearance. I also like how wine has its own deity, Bacchus “The God of Wine”
Bacchus in his Greek origin as Dionysus was actually a countercultural god, there having been a cult based around wine being seen as possession by a god that therefore released you from your bonds in society.
Yes its a shame however anything today can be considered « ART ». its like imagine no censoring on rap videos of naked women twerking etc. I think the best thing to do is just to suggest viewer’s discretion etc
@MCcookiebreath no, its not shaking their butts. Its shaking their butts "naked", as I mentioned in case you missed it. For example, 50 cent's disco inferno video. Rap is the #1 most viewed/listened genre of music and its quite hard to display rap's form of art on a platform that identify itself as "family friendly". UA-cam must apply censorship on nudity on all art forms. And yes, women shaking their butts in this context is depraved. Depraved may be defined as morally perverse. Depicting women twerking their butts on a family friendly platform is by consequence depraved, yes you are correct MCcookiebreath
They were often mixed sex parties but the men would retire to a separate room where they would discuss politics, make political alliances and engage in some good ol' Roman debauchery.

They partied so hard, overpartying was the second biggest cause of death among the nobility... right after a sudden and terminal case of knives in the back. If you wanted to overdo some form of gluttony and excess then you could do no better than imitate Roman behaviour. They were savage...in both the conventional and modern sense.

We haven’t change much , the same parties are still happening. depending of socials status and money. We haven’t evolved from our animalistic impulses. Love the videos. Can you please do a video about masquerades , thanks
In my experience it was house parties where you were free to roam around. Or backyard parties you paid $5 with kegs where being too loud was a no no. Or hanging out in nature or in parks at night. Each place included socializing as well as romance in some form. As I got older people began networking and singing kareoke at the end of the night. Funny enough the early days included no food and only drink. I think most people got sick of the formality and would just hit up a fast food place afterwards. Sleeping over happened and I cannot recall too many people passing out. Dancing happened and music (a stereo) played most of the time. I did go to some with live bands and even a skate ramp once. From time to time drum circles happened and sometimes guitar playing. In my scene there was drug use and the exchange of merchandise which could include a bag of something. A good host provided this so you did not have to go and trust somebody you did not know. That was my experience in a nutshell.

Alice Paul!! i don't know, but i was so fascinated by the subject of her and everything she did to fight for women rights. she starved herself til she was force fed with feeding tubes! Id love a video of her or the women suffrage in general!
I have heard a story of a pagan cult or maybe even a sect within society, in which the priests of a pagan god,(a fertility god or goddess), would impregnate virgin girls on the altar to their god at a certain time of the year, when their god required worship. Nine months later, babies were born to these former virgins, and 3 months later, when the time for worship of the god once again came, the priests would take these babies and offer them for sacrifice on the altar to their god,(or goddess). The blood of these babies is said to have been used, to dye eggs a blood red, and presumably used in some other ritual or rite, in worship of the same god. Got anything on that? And if so, could you give historical or archaeological information for this?
James Lanning thats the Cult of Ishtar which is where the holiday Easter actually comes from. The eggs and rabbits were also seen as symbols of fertility
@@ambientapathy777 Okay, and do you have a reference in print in which this "cult," can be found? Istar was Babylonian, but there were other cultures that used the same goddess, even if the name was different. I've read some pretty 'dry,' stuff, and I haven't come across any reference to to sacrificed babies for blood dyed eggs. I'm not rejecting the claim, that it didn't happen. But where's the recorded history?
You should make a video about the weirdest food recipes ever made. For instance, the Imperial stuffed egg. Here's a description: On March 11, 1526, the marriage of Carlos I of Spain with Isabel of Portugal took place in Seville. For that wedding, the main culinary attraction was the Imperial stuffed egg, done like this. Take a small almond and put it inside an olive that has previously been pitted. Then it gets into a hard-boiled egg (that's where the name comes from), which is inserted into the back of a thrush, which is braised in the belly of a partridge, and then it gets into a chicken, and then to complete the avian process on a turkey. Then the aforementioned animal is taken and put inside a lamb, which gets into a pig and finally ends up in an ox. All this is sewn so that the ingredients do not fall and the exterior is seasoned with a large amount of herbs and sauces giving it the appearance of being a single piece.
What isn't mentioned is the venereal infections that have been documented in archeological findings. Syphilis and gonorrhea would run its painful course in all who were infected, which likely would have been significant in numbers. So, to answer your question about whether or not I would like to have been present at a Roman orgy........No!
Some of these parties had virgin slaves who would be guaranteed to be clean until well the party was over. So yeah they had their ways around such problems....
I don't know why, but I find the mundane things about different historical periods more interesting to learn than most of the important stuff. If that makes any sense.
Since most surviving sources on Roman parties mostly described the decadent parties of Emperors and the elite, I assume the parties most Romans (the commonfolk) threw were generally the same thing but more modest and smaller-scale.
The 225677th Fragment of the Man-Emperor of Mankind Well, that one sent me off to Google search. Never heard that term before. Thanks for enlightening me.

Sleeping over happened and I cannot recall too many people passing out. Dancing happened and music (a stereo) played most of the time. I did go to some with live bands and even a skate ramp once. From time to time drum circles happened and sometimes guitar playing. In my scene there was drug use and the exchange of merchandise which could include a bag of something. A good host provided this so you did not have to go and trust somebody you did not know. That was my experience in a nutshell.
Im 54 now.. I had party's like this in my 20s...
Great video! Do also a video of what ancient Greek parties were like!
I feel like most of this is applicable today and the video missed out on opportunities to give more details
Makes sense. Thanks for this video.
Can you do more about American history. (Civil war, revolutionary war, progressive era, etc)?
So educational I love this Channel ❤️
I can already hear the parties
Man, I love this channel! Don't ever stop! Also, don't think think I am mean. If I could afford to be a Patreon, I would be in a blink! However, cat and dog food or.....ja know!
Alice Paul!! i don't know, but i was so fascinated by the subject of her and everything she did to fight for women rights. she starved herself til she was force fed with feeding tubes! Id love a video of her or the women suffrage in general!
I can't count how many times I closed my eyes when watching this video.
I have heard a story of a pagan cult or maybe even a sect within society, in which the priests of a pagan god,(a fertility god or goddess), would impregnate virgin girls on the altar to their god at a certain time of the year, when their god required worship.
Nine months later, babies were born to these former virgins, and 3 months later, when the time for worship of the god once again came, the priests would take these babies and offer them for sacrifice on the altar to their god,(or goddess).
The blood of these babies is said to have been used, to dye eggs a blood red, and presumably used in some other ritual or rite, in worship of the same god.
Got anything on that? And if so, could you give historical or archaeological information for this?
James Lanning thats the Cult of Ishtar which is where the holiday Easter actually comes from. The eggs and rabbits were also seen as symbols of fertility
@John Wack indeed
@@ambientapathy777 Okay, and do you have a reference in print in which this "cult," can be found?
Istar was Babylonian, but there were other cultures that used the same goddess, even if the name was different.
I've read some pretty 'dry,' stuff, and I haven't come across any reference to to sacrificed babies for blood dyed eggs.
I'm not rejecting the claim, that it didn't happen.
But where's the recorded history?
@@ambientapathy777 I thought Ishtar was Babylonian? What's the Greco-Roman equivalent to Ishtar?
*Paganism to extreme*
Recently discovered your channel, and it’s awesome!
lol, the delivery on that Vegas joke was mint.
Perfect tone shift. 👍
I'm pretty sure they have Dubstep playing in the background
Love y’all vids keep it up!
Good Stuff, Reminds me of the 1970's when it was Open Slather Group Sex and Salacious Debauchery. John S
Love this channel! Do A Day In The Life Of A WWII Soldier! The one you did on WWI was super interesting
You should make a video about the weirdest food recipes ever made. For instance, the Imperial stuffed egg. Here's a description:
On March 11, 1526, the marriage of Carlos I of Spain with Isabel of Portugal took place in Seville. For that wedding, the main culinary attraction was the Imperial stuffed egg, done like this. Take a small almond and put it inside an olive that has previously been pitted. Then it gets into a hard-boiled egg (that's where the name comes from), which is inserted into the back of a thrush, which is braised in the belly of a partridge, and then it gets into a chicken, and then to complete the avian process on a turkey. Then the aforementioned animal is taken and put inside a lamb, which gets into a pig and finally ends up in an ox. All this is sewn so that the ingredients do not fall and the exterior is seasoned with a large amount of herbs and sauces giving it the appearance of being a single piece.
been watching select videos for a while, love your vids. Finally, I decided to Sub :D
What isn't mentioned is the venereal infections that have been documented in archeological findings. Syphilis and gonorrhea would run its painful course in all who were infected, which likely would have been significant in numbers. So, to answer your question about whether or not I would like to have been present at a Roman orgy........No!
Some of these parties had virgin slaves who would be guaranteed to be clean until well the party was over. So yeah they had their ways around such problems....
I'd join a roman dinner party after I am in shape and bring a lot of condoms
That AD67 Party Was Off The Hook! Still Tired From That One..
I thought I recognized you! I need my thongs back, please 😁
Could you do a video about Alister Crowley and his cult?
its so awesome how u teach us a ton, while laughing!!
Basically, the rich be flexin.
I don't know why, but I find the mundane things about different historical periods more interesting to learn than most of the important stuff. If that makes any sense.
Since most surviving sources on Roman parties mostly described the decadent parties of Emperors and the elite, I assume the parties most Romans (the commonfolk) threw were generally the same thing but more modest and smaller-scale.
Thanks for setting the record straight...not sure where the confusion came from
I would love if you did some videos about Western Africa and central Africa in the 16th-17th century.
Makes me think of the all of the State dinners throughout the world. Some things never change!
9:12 I see Tiberius has a lot of hentai
The 225677th Fragment of the Man-Emperor of Mankind Well, that one sent me off to Google search. Never heard that term before. Thanks for enlightening me.
Tiberius had a villa built on an Island of Carpri where he ruled from and engaged in undiluted debauchery with minors.....
What !?
*Look around in fear for myself*
Maybe your next vid should be about the STI rates of ancient Romans.
Kind of an odd jocular tone talking about caligula. He was a monster.
he was a pretty decent ruler in the very beginning of his rein, before he fell into coma and woke up fucking loco
@Zo Kay he might've wonder if they understood stds
What, too soon?
I would like to know more about anything. I find this channel's contents interesting and amusing😁
done and done
