VIDEO MONETISED AGAIN!
Thanks all for the kind words of support.
After a long chat with UA-cam the video was reviewed and found to not be controversial. The Fall of the Roman Empire is acceptable! Very relieved.
I’m still going to comment on the general thread too.
Just not as pointed.
🧐
Regarding this video being demonitized, it could be bc it's a collaboration. Google will only pay one party, typically the 'bigger' channel. 🤷♂️ Hope that you can sort it out.
Love your work.
Cheers ✌️ 😎
Are you reviewing your videos after you upload them to UA-cam? I don’t know how you are missing this, but the audio in every video you upload to UA-cam is far, far too quiet. The problem is wildly apparent in each of your videos and makes you channel unwatchable. I’m one video away from unsubscribing because it’s extremely difficult to hear what you are saying.
Right-click on this video and select “Stats for Nerds”. From there, you will see that UA-cam measures the audio in this video as 11.8 dB too quiet. 11.8 dB is HUGE. A 5 dB deficit is very noticeable, which means your video at almost 12 dB too quiet is beyond unacceptable. In order to hear what you are saying, I have to blast the volume on my device. “That’s not a big deal.”, you say? Well sure, until the next video on UA-cam plays and my ears are destroyed by the loud volume because the other creators know how to properly export their videos for UA-cam. You really, really, really need to address this export problem with your videos because they are unwatchable as they currently stand.
I don’t know what program you use to export video, but there is information out there for nearly every program that will help you achieve the proper export settings. For example, here’s a video about using Adobe Premiere: ua-cam.com/video/GBH0BFvCLAA/v-deo.html
I beg you, please address this problem with your channels. Your content seems like it might be excellent, but any positive qualities of your videos is completely overridden by the inaudible narration. No one has any business subscribing to a channel where we cannot hear the videos.
@@burrito-town
I've just compared the volume of the three most recent videos from this channel to the volumes of the latest three videos I've viewed from my library, each of these three are from different channels and one of them is from a popular news outlet. I found that the difference in volume was
negligible with only the volume on the news channel being slightly higher than the other five videos.
*That's my personal experience.
what the heck?? i'm just sitting down to your videos, now. whateva' . . .
Is there anything more poetic than the last Western emperor being named Romulus and the last Eastern emperor being named Constantine?
Less surprising than one might think. The desperation of a society in decline is exactly the sort of thing that would lead people to try to invoke grand origin myths.
Yes. Poems.
There was a Chinese poet that wrote “Fart” in ancient Chinese as a response to his friend across the lake who wrote a pretentious poem about how the eight winds could never move him so that when he came over to chew him out, he responded with “The eight winds couldn’t move you, but a single fart got you across a lake”
History is fake
@@morganbass3231now THATS poetic!
Pete, many do history themed films, documentaries, indie shorts on every conceivable topic but you stand alone. Your manner, phrasing, passion for your material sets you apart and while I often wish you could pump one of these films out every week I know I'm talking rubbish. I retired from teaching (because of the lockdown) but when I did have classes I could never find a way to squeeze it all in about Rome, and oddly enough, the students always wanted more! This was worth the wait, as all your films are, there is no one like you in this field Pete Kelly!
My man, you need to submit yourself to Netflix or something so you can get yourself a show. Your content strategy, your ideas and their depth of investigation, your presentation, your voice and delivery, is all top quality
100/. Agree. !!!
Netflix doesn't deserve him. They would try to meddle with it and take a huge cut, pretending they contributed to its creation just because they own the distribution method. The future is independent cinema/documentaries like this, with no studio shoving their logo in our minds and stealing from artists.
Netflix can’t handle the truth! Pete is on another level of entertainment and knowledge! A true inspiration and teacher of history.
He just needs to make Caesar a black female trans lesbian and he’ll get a contract
They would literally ruin everything lol plus it’s free on UA-cam
your videos are helping me beating my insomnia for years now. its the perfect amalgamation of a chill style of video, while still telling a cool and engrossing story. i love each and every one of your videos
I think about the Roman Empire about once or twice a week. Thanks in large part to History Time!
Everyday for me. Didnt know it was odd lol
Comments like this concern me to be honest. I unironically don't understand how it can't be at least once a day. If you live in China it's understandable maybe.
😂 I ❤️ this thread
I think most men do, don't they?
I think of Roman Empire every day since I was a kid. Seems strange some people don't think about it tbh.
Only 40 minutes in, but I can see that this is one of the best videos on late western Roman history
I once went on a Majorian binge. I read EVERYTHING I could find about the guy, so I am really glad to see one of my favorite history channels covering the period he was in.
Majorian is one of my favorite Roman emperors. What titles about him would you recommend?
@@Tetricus01 There are few books about his reign specifically, so your best bet would be to search for works about the late 5th century Western Empire. I do remember his problems with Ricimer being adressed in "Late Roman Warlords" though.
Slight error at 1:46 "Vandals Sack Rome - Title Text Here", might be too late to fix though
They sacked the Title Text :(
Was a pleasure editing this doc!
Lower thirds title typo @1:44 Mr. Editor!
1:01:55 - Using LARPer stock video? Really? The guy is wearing Jeans XD Come on....
Yep... we've all been fans of History Time from the beginning - extremely high quality scholarship and very thorough content. Thanks for helping out!!!
The prolonged Infomercial should have been in the middle or the end .... you lost us about 15 minutes in... poor editor's choices
@@melmee2235I suppose clicking ahead (which is your option if you don't want to hear the sponsor-pitch) was ... not possible? ... inconvenient? ... required lifting then lowering your index finger on the mouse? His "infomercials" as you call them are 1. in a pretty standard location for UA-cam channels... after an introductory section... and a far more palatable "editor's choice" than letting UA-cam invade the video with their choice of loud, likely barely relevant, pre-produced ads. Just sayin'... If you wanted to hear this documentary... you would not have been "lost" by his necessity to pitch for his sponsors.
I've been following you for more than a year now, and have consumed over 40 hours of your content. You are still my favorite history presentation channel on YT.
Extremely well done. Very informative. I learned a lot about the final hundreds of years of Rome and realized I was born only 500 years after that great empire.
History Time puts together solid content with great narration.
Are you 1500 years old ?
@@HeyemeyohstsEastern Rome died 1452.
@@wonderfalg You mean 1453! That's when the Ottoman Turks militarily invaded and captured Constantinople! Actually though, what the Turks captured was not Eastern Rome but Greek Byzantium! Enough with that false narrative!
@wonderfalg I don't count that. You can't call something Rome if they don't have Rome. They have been a part of the Roman Empire before, but they diverged when it fell
@@ThomasGazis There is no such thing as """Byzantine empire""", that's the real false narrative. It was still Rome.
A brilliant ancient history documentary that makes the past come alive. Truly an enlightening experience.
Honestly 1000 years of decline sounds like a great success, most countries that exist today are barely 100 years old
Yes, it is a great accomplishment.
People can live good lives, safe lives even in a declining nation
Almost all european countries (except some small independent zones) are alot older than that. Portugal has near 900 years
Yes. And no recent empire has lasted for 1000 years. Even the mighty British Empire lasted less than 300 years.
Rome didn't die it turned into the rcc
@@brunomanco7529no, no they are not. Many have new constitutions. Does Portugal have a constitution and the same overall governmental sctructure as it did 900 years ago? Then it is not the same country. The language and blood of the country might not have changed by its style of governance and laws did.
Your videos are excellent for use in History studies classes. Thank you for making them. I don't understand why they would be demonetized. I watch them at night hoping something will sink in while I sleep.
Great work! It’s refreshing to to see correct history being used for the Eastern Roman Empire as well.
It is anti-historical to call the Greek Byzantines "Romans"!
Nice video. I always wondered why teachers at school would say that the roman empire ended in 476 when it would have been much better to say 1453, being the empire did not shutdown and get recreated as the Byzantine empire and the people called themselves Roman although they had lost the city of Rome. Maybe one could consider these last holdouts around the Black Sea.
They did took Rome back a couple of times
Pete Kelly Rocks! The most enjoyable part is his enthusiasm and dedication. The content is amazing as well.
That was a nearly an hour and a half incredible piece of work and passion Pete. A captivating journey indeed. Cheers!
an editor would definitely be helpful for cranking out these massive documentaries, keep it up, can't wait to see more
I don't click on a lot about Rome anymore, but I have to watch everything Pete Kelley does.
Yep
Only after I read your comment, the first to appear, I decided to take a chance and watch this Roman documentary. Thanks!
That's a shame.
Me too
@sandrojones8068 I agree Everything Pete does is gold.
I unabashedly and proudly think about Ancient Rome every day. Roma Aeterna!!
nationalism is for fools really to rally support for the wishes of leaders and the rich
Anyone who's interested in history should buy themselves a metal detector.
Every time I found an old coin I read about the ruler that was on the coin and what they did what was going on in their time .
Its surprising how many ancient things are a few inches under the soil .
Ive found bronze age artifacts, iron age , Celtic, Roman, Saxon, medieval, Tudor etc..
Even if you live in a new country like the USA, i speak to people online who have found button's and military buckles from the war of independence and the civil war .
Its a great buzz finding old things .
what does belong to the buttons?
Hi I just wanted to say that you have a great voice that is perfect for telling history!! Your voice makes history very interesting indeed 💪👌👏🙌🙏👍🎉
I'm so glad to see you enjoying this as much as I do Pete, can't wait for what's to come.
I'm a big fan of yours and your brother's work!
Kudos from Italy (Rome actually 😅)
Wow, I subscribed yesterday after finding the Bronze Age Collapse video, who would’ve thought I’d catch a new upload.
Thanks mate you deserve more for the hard work
Baller
Im already excited to see what more Pete has coming our way 🤩 the new visuals are fantastic! Top tier 👑
Editing is great and im glad you were able to lighten your own workload with outsourcing it to someone else. Im looking forward to the increase of content. 🎉
Probably needs a team/collaboration to compete with the Paul Cooper productions over there at _Fall of Civilizations_ juggernaut.
I love your channel and content. Such a good listen while working. Ive been subbed a long time and really appreciate your hard work. THANK YOU!
UPDATE - SITUATION RESOLVED.
VIDEO DEMONETISED.
Plot twist. UA-cam has just disallowed ads on the latest video meaning it can't earn revenue and won't be shown to anyone in the algorithm. Apparently the fall of the Roman Empire is too much of a controversial subject. If anyone has any way of contacting UA-cam to get this reviewed again or any ideas let me know. Absolutely gutted.
that's kinda funny, since I'm watching an ad while I try to watch this, they seem very concerned (with keeping the money for themselves with flimsy excuses).
WHAT 😮
Fascists!
Why?
Only way to get their attention is via Twitter as I hear it.
Wow I'm surprised it's taken you so long to get an editor. You vids are massive, a researcher or two would probably be useful on some of the obscure/specific episodes (thinking local expert, or someone digging through the archives). Not because you're work isn't top notch, rather your vids are massive the work involved is insane. And selfishly I want more content. 😂
You do excellent justice to history, Pete. Love and respect that a lot. Thank you!
Me and your video editor have the same last name, I was shocked to hear it out loud it’s rather uncommon. Great video!
How could you NOT think about the Roman Empire every day?
I think about it at least 5 times a day. They say you need your 5 a day after all.
Honestly I wonder the same!
be a woman
There's a guy that lives a few blocks down from me and he apparently he is a very good bread maker, but he has a bakery and his bread is often compared to some of the best bread that there is around because he makes his bread in the old fashioned that still appeals to people. He is often called the last Roman. All joking aside, this documentary is amazing
I still think Rome fell on the day Diocletian moved the military to the East and carved up the Empire into 4 during the crisis of the 3rd century. Galerius taxed the city of Rome after Diocletian promised the City of Rome that it would never be taxed. That exact moment in time shows that Rome was a new entity. I think Rome fell long before 476 and 1453.
Its aint over until its over
1453 is the end
It wouldn't take so long to watch this if I didn't have to keep grabbing perfect screenshots for future sketches and paintings. 😊
SUBBED Neat to see the face behind that Epic Voice! Ive always really enjoyed your style of story telling. Very well done!
Watching this to fall asleep to the probable collapse of the US.
Exactly.
Same. 😂
Just imagine if there wasn't all the internal backstabbing/treachery within the Roman state, how much longer the Roman Empire would have lasted? One can make the sound argument that "the fall of Rome" was not from any external enemy, but rather from the enemies from within... As duscussed in this video, even in Rome's collapsed state/end times, there were still chances to repair it yet internal treachery prevented it. In my opinion of civilizations and their collapse, it's more often due to "the fall from within" rather than any one great seige or battle. Most are wrongly taught and or have the impression of the later. Rome did not fall when the Visagoths and Vandals sacked the city, Rome fell internally long before those events. To further put into perspective, the exact same thing is happening today in Europe and especially in USA. History my friends does repeat itself because "history" is the psychology and repeatative actions of man.
Humans don't seem to learn from the past do they😢
Rome fell in 1453
Badly managed economy is the downfall of many empires.
It is absolutely a brilliant voiceover which greets the audience during the movement of this video. There are many grand Films and videos to speak for Rome and some are not palatable to the public ear and that causes a loss of enough interest to keep the faith and attention.
Very simple and well organized features align within this particular video and for that.. you have everything become of an interested individual. Brilliant.
Sincerely Brilliant.” ❤
Pete and company are going to double the output of History Time videos? OK, yeah sure, sounds good. What am I saying? Not just yes...but Hell Yes!
Thank you channel for sharing interesting and interesting historical information
Thank you for pointing out the fallacy of Voltaire’s statement about the Holy Roman Empire; the institution of the emperor and concept of universal imperium meant that the emperor was viewed with great reverence as once of the most powerful monarchs in the world.
This was true even by the time of Voltaire, by which point, as he so crudely points out, the empire had become quite disunited - even at that stage the Habsburg Holy Roman emperors held enormous sway over international geopolitics, even if beginning their long, slow decline which ended in their deposition in 1918.
Especially the early Ottonian period marks a high water mark in the Power of the Holy Roman Empire and the Emperors Power at the time in Western Europe which is often overlooked.
1918? Please explain genuine interest
@@benhudson4014 the last Habsburg emperor, Karl I, was deposed in the fall of 1918
@@TheLocalLtyeah right, the habsurgs emperors of Rome, lol
The history of the old Roman
Empire and how and why it fell is a reminder that nothing last forever, Pete and his YT channel is the time machine to learn why all this happened.
I love that the Roman Empire kept going during the middles ages in the form of the Eastern Roman/Byzantine empire but I really wish the Holy Western Roman Empire fully re-secured the west and that they cooperated with the East
The HRE was the east mess of the frankish empire
hre is not even close to roman , the territories of hre wasnt even Roman when wester roman empire existed , they a re barbarians like ottomans who wanted to be romans
Yaaay! A new video on the best YT channel ever. Doesn't matter what period of time or what geographic region it is about - it's a must-see
So long as an emperor ruled in Constantinople the Roman state was a flickering candle of greatness in an increasingly dark world
In the fall of Constantinopla, many intelectuals went to Venice, leading the renasence.
@raultalmon1467 I don't know if they led but certainly the treasure trove of classical books and works helped drive the Renaissance onwards
History time is my favorite time 😊
Love ancient times, very well put together ❤
I unabashedly and proudly think about Ancient Rome every day. Roma Aeterna!!

Urbs Aeterna!! Greatest city on Earth.
Love your narrating, voice, and your topics!
your videos are pure art. thank you
This is one of the great channels for history. As a lover of Roman history and the old Roman Empire I am glad to be here. Thank you!
Congratulations on the monetization. You create amazing content and deserve to be paid for it.
Hello from Tokyo. :)
I would love to see a video from you based on the history of Japan. There are many videos about Japanese war history but it might be worth focusing on a different aspect of the history here.
Superb, clear, concise, and eminently accessible. One to watch or add to your saved list.
Great overview in general and extremely entertaining, but I'm surprised Gemistos Plethon was not on this list. Surely he's a claimant to the title "last of the Romans" as he was the last great philosopher of the Greco-Roman tradition? Really see his writings and ideas as an important (arguably the most important) bridge between the Eastern Roman world and the Renaissance. He's very worthy of the title "last of the Romans".
This guy has a great delivery.
Actually, Sponsianus (Sponsian in Eng. sources) was the last person to be discovered and added to the list of known Roman emperors. So he, too, deserves to be called the last Roman. 😅
A focused retelling of Vercengetorix at Alesia is always a banger….
Great job Pete! Great to hear you have an editing relationship with Damiano now, it was a terrific show! Looking forward to watching more history productions!
Editing help is great, as long as you still do the narration 😊 - the voice makes it even better to watch…downright smooth
A state that lasted 2,000+ years, from the 7th century BC to the 15th century AD.
Roma aeterna ❤️
Imagine how short lived if inflation had sent home prices soaring 50-100x over in less than a century.
Still alive today. Look at american currency. One dollar bill and quarter
Magnificent documentary. There are several good resources on Rome on UA-cam but this one is one of the best.
Why does the last Roman have to be a famous person? It was probably just some ordinary old man who died in the 1500s.
Magnificent storytelling! Best adult bedtime tale I can find.
Thanks Peter! I appreciate your hard work, your content is top quality as always ❤
Awesome! All your videos are so well done, and you have a great, soothing, low tone voice. Perfect for narration, or just sitting down for a chat. You are a beautiful person. Thank you for all your hard work, education, and dedication.
I love History ❤️
A long video about a historical topic, with proper human narration and music, with still photos, graphics and dramatised scenes 👍👏👌
I'm new/new-ish to the channel, having seen either a community post or having come across a video in the next suggested video so we sort of have to thank UA-cam for this. But knowing that this video was initially demonetised meant that someone either carelessly clicked a button or just thought it was just a simple war video with lots of gore and violence so definitely no thanks to UA-cam. Highly unfair to those who rely on UA-cam for income and having their videos be pushed less by the algorithm and having less exposure
Back to watching!
Very well done! 👏 Thanks, Pete. 👊😎
This was wonderful! Thank you for such an excellent summary! The last Roman was Constantine XI Palaiologos.
Pete, thank you so much for a complete view of the totality of the Roman Empire and how it played out after the fall of the Western and ultimately Eastern in it's former territories as new empires rose after it.
This guy has the best voice and cadence for these documentaries
Yes!!!! Very much excited❤
I've had relationships where it seemed as if it took a thousand years for them to end
In many many ways, I get the idea that Rome only morphed and mutated. But it's still around.
Like most empires
Much appreciation from Malaysia. As usual, well researched and well told. The voice and tempo is perfect. Thank you
It should be noted that the conquered Romans of the Ottoman Empire were and still are deemed the Rum Millet, the Roman Nation and the language they speak is still sometimes referred as Romaiki, not Helleniki, the official language of this minority in Constantinople, Istanbul. There are thus still Romans. The Ottomans also took on the title of Emperor of the Romans and the (tenth) Ecumenical Synod of 1484 was under their aegis, taking place in Constantinople and confirming the Western Latins as heretics, condemning the Robber Council of Florence-Ferrara of 1438-9 including confirming the 879 condemnation of the Filioque clause in the Creed at the 8th Ecumenical Council, also held in Constantinople.
It is well known that many Turks remain crypto-Orthodox and have, literally, underground catacomb services until this day and are (Eastern) Romans. I have met one. Her father was then the Turkish ambassador to Kazakhstan. She revealed this when I brought the subject up in a conversation. The fact that this was designated, in 1484, an Ecumenical Synod, simply means that the Ottoman Sultan of the day was one of the crypto-Orthodox and in fact a Roman Empire in every sense. The last Ottoman Sultan was deposed in 1924 though there remain claimants to this day. We have not yet had, therefore, the last Roman, though we are now back in a Republican era. And that´s before consideration of the Third Rome, Moscow and Muscovy, which overlaps and which has claimants to its throne vacant since 1917. The Russian Republic embraces the idea of being the Third Rome, as is shown in its emblems and insignia. The Vatican City also claims to be a continuously Roman territory with the Gregorian University still using Latin as the language of instruction, and most of its territory is still situated in Rome. The last Roman and last Roman ruler are both yet to come, therefore, whichever way you want to cut it.
Recent subscriber, love the channel. Just an FYI, in the opening scenes, there is a caption that has “title text here.”
Gonna make my girl watch this after asking me how often I think about it!
What is up w that I’ve been hearin that a lot
Something on tiktok l think.last week the wife filmed me and asked how many times a month l think of the roman empire. I went a low 4 times.
you are simply the best historian on UA-cam,hands down.
If anyone's particularly interested in the subject I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series, in particular the Late Antiquity and Migration Era playlist. That's A LOT of deep stuff and terribly insightful analysis of every single political, military and social factor in literally hundreds of videos, often segmented according to region, century, etc. It's all a much more complex thing than usually depicted but this channel seems to me the one that makes sense of it the best way.
He is excellent. Almost TOO prolific, though. I subscribed to his account and was inundated by a near daily hour+ video, I have no idea how he maintains that level of output.
Obvious intentional plug. Probably from dudes own alt account.
@saintjacques8137 it's pretty shitty to come to a channel and simply direct the audience elsewhere. I have seen your comments on other videos saying the same shit. If the owner of this channel wanted to provide a plug, they would. If people are interested in this subject and want more content, they will find it. Shame
@@Bambam-sz6id🙏
@@Bambam-sz6id I can assure you gentlemen that I am not an alt for Schwerpunkt, given that I clearly stated that he produces too much for me. I turned off the ringing bell icon for his account.
I quite prefer Pete Kelly - however, I don't see why someone saying 'also, if you are interested there is another account that produces cool things' is a problem.
I think you have a great voice for this kind of presentation. Well done.
Why is Pete dressed like he's in the witness protection program?
I can't talk about it
You do a really great job narrating and explaining everything in detail.

Saxons! They were the real Dark Age badasses….Nobody had better helmets or martial decor during their time…best governance ideas too, Not keen on the Christian conversion but it was a trend back then so part of their era inguess
I just love his voice and his narration. Great story teller.
Given how frequently us men spend time thinking about the Roman Empire, it's a wonder that we have any time to watch a documentary about it.
Commenting for boosting engagement. Awesome video as always
Rome never fell. It simply rebranded.
Same with the nazis
I think you have confused “Rome” with “the idea of Rome” in your “Rome rebranded” trope.
Rome the Empire most definitely collapsed. What lingered was the idea of Rome as a centralised power base that gave legitimacy to “Empire”.
This is antithetical to your point. Your suggestion that Roman societies stayed Roman but “rebranded” themselves as Celtic/Gaelic/Teutonic kingdoms is ridiculous.
Instead, Celtic/Gaelic/Teutonic feudal kingdoms pieced together an assumption of divine right to rule by linking themselves to the afterthought of “Empire” legitimacy that the Roman legacy gave them.
The Roman organization rebranded as the Holy Roman Catholic Church. They didn't even move out of Rome. The people were left to themselves. @gadget133
@@timothysutton625 🤦🏻♂️ Incorrect, the Holy Roman Empire was what is now called Germany. And was founded by Charlemagne and named “the Holy Roman Empire” to legitimise his claim to be “Emperor” of the Western Empire. Rome itself was sacked by the Visigoths in 410 and that was the end of “Rome”… when that occurred, the Eastern Roman Empire in Constantinople (hint here… named after the Roman Emperor Constantine when he fled Rome) became the capital until it was finally lost to the Ottomans.
And wtf do you mean “Roman organisation”??? I mean Charlemagne founded the “Holy Roman Empire” in 800ad??? That’s 400 years later.
Sorry, but the cliche that “Rome rebranded” is demonstrably false… Rome collapsed, Europe fell into feudalism, 400 years later someone thought “I know, legitimise my claim for the title Emperor by calling it The Holy Roman Empire”…
Roman Catholic Church
