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.

Thank you!
Great job man, you could turn these into hour long documentaries on historic people, people’s or events.
Thank you, I've been thinking about how to do that.
30 min! Ahhh I love it! Incredible content as usual. I always learn so much about topics I thought I was familiar with.
When I do the reading there's always new things for me to learn too!
Love the video footage from Oudenburg!
Btw if you want to use photos from LRE just let me know!!
I will! I've got some requests and I've seen your message I'll reply tonight, just out touring!
Very interesting material
Thank you!

It's very hard when there's instability, but I do feel for you all, you are wonderful people and I enjoy my American tours I do.
Thank you, bery well done!
Just gotta say one thing: the plural of Augustus is Augusti, not sugustusses.
Just working on expanding the English language with new words, if Shakespeare can do it, why not I!
