    Great job man, you could turn these into hour long documentaries on historic people, people’s or events.

    Can't say i'm a fan of the guy, but preventing the empire from being entirely toppled post-3rd century crisis, definitely deserves some credit

      I think I respect his sense of order and the fact he didn't come from power, his journey just captivates something in me.

    Personally I love his price edict because it's a very useful source to us. I mean, we get a brilliant detailed insight in how much stuff cost!!

      I know it's fantastic but the question is, does it actually reflect what was spent!

    Funnily enough weds before last ended up back in Split 🇭🇷 thanks to a panicked change when Easyjet cancelled our flight
    got a chance to walk through the palace again, and once again ponder the schadenfreude of the great persecutor of the church (allegedly) having his mausoleum turned into a cathedral

      I did some more reading and it seems his fellow tetrarchs were more into the persecutions than he was.

    I never knew much about Diocletian’s reforms before. Very interesting. When you were describing how chaotically divided the Roman Empire became with the passing away of an Emperor, as an American stuck in the midst of a very politically divided Presidential election, I hope Trump doesn’t destroy our country.

    Just gotta say one thing: the plural of Augustus is Augusti, not sugustusses.

      Christianity grew steadily under pressure, but exploded after it was adopted by the upper classes after Constantine. Before, especially the lower classes embraced it (in part due to the promise of a better afterlife), but afterwards it became a way into the higher administration for people of all regions and social backgrounds.
