Video has an inaccuracy, romans had many forms of ancient racism, there's a famous roman philosopher that believed the northern people are strong stupid barbarians and the southern blacks are weak but intellectual, so the romans in the middle are strongest and smartest humans.
The Roman Emperors from Spain, Africa, and the Middle East were almost all from Roman families who lived in those regions. One of the rare exceptions to this was Philip the Arab.
Nonsense Septimius Severus was Punic on his mother's side and Roman on his father's and came from the Punic city of Lepcis Magna.His son Caracalla gave Roman citizenship to all whatever race.Severus' wife Julia Domna was Syrian from an extremely prominent priestly family from Emesa in Syria.Her two nephews became emperors too -the infamous Heliogabalus who met a sticky end at a young age and his cousin Alexander Severus also didn't last long.Rome was an overwhelmingly multi cultural empire that accepted every race as long as they showed loyalty to the empire.Rome was full of Greeks,Egyptians,Syrians,Gauls,Jews and many many others as was the destroyed city of Pompeii.Rome tolerated every religion and cult except the Christians because they refused to sacrifice to the emperor.Major religions were the worship of Isis,an Egyptian goddess,Mithras a Persian god highly popular with the soldiers and also the Earth mother Cybele who originated from Phrygia in Turkey.Romans fused their culture with all the others like in Britain where the British Gallic culture became fused with the Roman.Later under the eastern Roman empire (Byzantine) the emperor's came from everywhere -many were Armenian,Macedonian,Isaurian,Illyrians,Slavic and they married women from all ethnic groups including the Khazars.Roman slavery unlike later slave trades included all types of people -especially Germans,Gauls,Greeks etc-it wasn't just black people.Go and disseminate your misinformation somewhere else.
True, people today when they say spanish emperos, say uuu he was today version of latino... No chance, hispanic people were removed by romans, and romans by goths, then arabs and franks and so many others went there
@@MorallyDubiousFrog Severus was partially Punic and married a Syrian woman-all the sources say this.Rome was as multi cultural and non racist as you can get-I've just outlined in detail all the features of roman culture that proves this and you refuse to take it in -probably because you're racist -against Romans!Rome would also have had many black people as evidenced by early Christian saints like St Maurice whose name means "A Moor" and is always depicted as a black person in Christian iconography.Non Roman royalty was always highly respected in Rome like the kings of Mauretania and the Syrian Palmyrene queen Zenobia -Palmyra itself was a highly sophisticated fusion of Greek,Aramaic,Arab and Roman culture as proved by the spectacular ruins.
Yeah this video has a lot of holes too. Roman gods majorily didn't come from Africa and noble families of Rome did come from throughout the empire which included Africa, but for the most part they were Roman or Euro-descended families in those colonies that were able to gain wealth by already understanding the Roman systems. For example: Lucius Septimius Severus. Think about it, they show up to some place they just conquered like north Africa and immediately give locals noble family status after one generation? Doesn't make sense. This video has a lot stretched truths.
The funny part is that even some Native American tribes bought African slaves, but shhh don't tell people about it... There's such a big misunderstanding about slavery, as it is thought, by idiots mostly, that slavery was a matter of race, but in reality was just a matter of money, buy cheap, the oldest law of economics

@@TheSquad4lifeNo, usually they tell you uf you ask. The right question isnt "are you racist?" Because that word has different meaning to different people. So first think, what racist means to you, and ask about that. Example: -Do you think there are different races? -Do you think they have different capabilities? -Do you think yours is inferior, balanced, or better than the others? Thats one point, and the other one: -Do you think is better to apply measures to keep native population from dissapearing? -Do you think all races should mix together, making pure races less usual? -Do you think we would be better without some races, or some even deserve extermination, if so, which ones?
Racists are morons so attach anything innovative to do with the European continent as their own personal accomplishments, eventhough they had nothing to do with it and, as mentioned in the video, was actually a collaboration of elements of several cultures including from Africa and the Middle East.
well the nacional socialists used a loot of roman symbolism like the nazi/roman salute, architectural inspiration, the roman/german eagle and hitler was a big fan of the romans. mussolini began the reconstruction of the ara pacis by augustus to boost the roman myth and connect it with facist italy
Its similar to the theory of Atlantis where racists used it as evidence to prove white people are better than other races because of how advanced the mythological city is. It arose during the late 19th century but the most famous was obviously Mussolini and moustache man. Doesn't mean we can't like Rome

@@LoneWulf278 Well, no, it's more generic in term of concept, if it want to be called racist means they have to be racial centrist in being prejudiced, and concept of race is not something to be found in ancient past, they just straight hating in specific to each social group, like Latin Italian, Frankish, German, Slavic, Bulgar, Turkish, Cuman, Pecheneg, Khazar, Arab, Persia, and more, literally could be said hating people based on their statehood.

@@thurbine2411 well, pretty disgusted by anything non Roman. Their racism wasn’t towards just anyone with darker skin tone. It was anyone who wasn’t Roman at all. Belgians, Alemmani, Gauls and Britons were seen as disgusting for their practices of wearing pants or being naked all the time, drinking bear made from barely aka horse food, eating butter and others like that. Greeks didn’t get it much better either since they were associated with being sub Roman. Their plays were peasant entertainment and their practice of equal homosexuality compared to the Roman practice of dominance was also another reason to dislike them. Jewish people likely got it the worst though. I don’t need to tell much about that for the point to get across.
They worshipped both. Isis was very important to them. They also believed that almost all foreign gods were either real or a god they knew but under a different name.
Correction: Their armor was Greek, especially in early Rome. Their Gods were Greek And their intellectualism was from Greece. This is why it was called the Greco-Roman world.
@@MaxStArlyn True. And the single smartest thing the Romans did that allowed for their supremacy was the wholesale adoption and recognition of the Greek civilization. They knew that the Greek way of life was the best way to live and they took it and ran with it. We were lucky they did, for had they not, our western civilization would not be as it is today. Let's say the Persians beat the Greeks, or the Celtic peoples defeated the Romans, well, the world would be much different than today. We owe them both our way of life.
Only their early armor. Their later armor was Gallic. Some of their gods wehere Etruskan, some Greek, some from Persia and yes some from Egypt and even Gaul. Some Romans were Greekabous soe Egytabous.

Saying that Romans didn’t care about race and only cared about families is pretty inaccurate. Romans definitely had major prejudice against other races. They were even racist against their own people who weren’t direct descendants of the founders of Rome ie: the Patricians vs the Plebeians
How can you make so many mistakes in a short. You are also ignoring the differences between middle Eastern and North African peoples back then and today
Saying "from Africa" is misleading. The North African coast was settled by "White people" (remnants from Macedonia of Alexander the great, Phoenicians, etc) at the time and they also provided the main culture. Nothing to do with black African culture.
He literally just said from Africa nothing to do with race or culture. He's a Roman historian I'm pretty sure he's aware of the Punic culture that was present in North Africa by the CARTHAGINIAN EMPIRE.
@@Harrison-cp3bjHe probably is aware, but the layman watches this might not be. It's not clear from how he says it that the mighty families were Europeans who had settled in the Middle East and in Africa. Predominately European peoples.

Mussolini's Fascists weren't racist as such. Hitler and the Nazis were, it was elemental in their ideology. The two must not be confused. Though both are distorted they are very different.
@@larsrons7937 In a 1921 speech in Bologna, Mussolini stated that "Fascism was born ... out of a profound, perennial need of this our Aryan and Mediterranean race".
Romans had a segregated Legion, non Itallo-Hellenic people served in the Auxilia as they were not classified as Roman citizens but as provencals. So yeah, they had a concept of race/ethnicity and placed value on it. A good comparision would be Chingis Khan's Mongol Empire, where provencals were allowed to practice their religions and speak their language but were not considered equal outside of their province. Edit: They did not worship gods from Africa, that is a lie. Their form of polytheism was based on the Greeks which was likely derived from Yamnaya mythology/mysticism from Russia/Ukraine. Indo-European polytheism coincides with the spread of Indo-European languages, Zeus/Jupiter being a Sky Father deity after all and is based on Dyēus Pater.
I dont think they're saying that liking the Roman Empire or the study of it is racist. Just that most ideologically devout racists like the Roman Empire. Sort of how most toxic hypermasculine fitness bros like the movie 300 and gyms, but most people who like either of these arent toxic fitness bros
"Racists" traditionally do not care, but third-positionists generally absolutely do, even though they are generally anti-imperialists. Most "white supremacists" are nationalists and actively oppose imperialism.
@@BacklTrack Yeah but that's all fascists ever. That doesn't mean that all fascists idolized Rome. Nazis did it because all other fascists did it.

@@dragospeta3812 Yup. They saw races, as in ethnic groups, but not so much skin colour. That's also why non-Italians were not allowed citizenship until the late empire.

@simoneidson21 No, you clearly misunderstand what I was saying. History definitely has political messaging, but to use history as political weaponry is a mistake. It depreciates the value of the history and associates it with a "side", ostracizing a large amount of people. So I won't "deal with it", especially when a post like this one is just untrue.
Every human being is a racist and is prejudiced. Regardless, that doesn't mean you should disrespect people on the basis of their religion or ethnic heritage. These things hurt people the most. It's about mutual respect in spite of any prejudices you have and not unnecessarily shaming people when they commit micro-aggressions.
my love to roman empire is nothing to do with racism but Rome was racist if you look at the content of the "conquered citizens" or as they say "citizen of Rome" to have citizenship it be a near impossible task to do and lucky to survive because I you try to become a citizen you have to become the empire meat shield for the army

SPQR: the senate and the people of Rome. Let’s not be ignorant and realize that when the say ‘the people of Rome’ they do not refer to a multi racial melting pod
Except they did. Sure, the race ratio was skewed due to obvious geography, but it was not race dependant. Non whites had many ways to become citizens, such as beihg born to citizens or in some cases a citizen and non-citizen, as well as through military. At the beginning of the 3rd century, the definition widened even more to basically most of the free people of the Empire. And by the "people of Rome" it means, well, the people of Rome. Was that just the people in the city of Rome? Clearly not. So what was it then? Well, what was Rome's. Probably everything under the ROMAn Empire.
@@vladstefan5216 There were very few ways to get roman citizenship. Even other Italic tribes(who got preferential treatment) required a war to get roman citizenship. There were very few ways to get roman citizenship. You could not marry into it and even children with a roman would remain peregrini(third class citizen). The only legal way to get roman citizenship was through 15-25 year service in the auxilliary. Romans were very careful on who got roman citizenship and were focused on spreading their culture and people. Entire cities were founded to give veteran legionaries(had to be a roman) land where they had spent their youth. Peregrini was only removed when Rome was in serious trouble and the emperor saw a way to increase taxes. In a way Romans were more racist than racists these days.

They were turned into Romans, but some Gallic influence made its way into Roman culture, as well as Greek, Middle Eastern, and African ones. Rome won't expand and become an empire if they were racist bigots and destroyed any trace of culture their conquered people had. Roman culture is a melting pot of different cultures, with Rome as the base A present day example would be an Asian man that's a 2nd generation immigrant saying he's American because he was born in the US, lives in the US, is a citizen of the US, works in the US, and pays his taxes in the US. If you'd tell him to go back to where he came from and call him a chink, he'd be naturally offended because he's a fully fledged American despite his appearance The ancient world's "racism" and superiority complex wasn't about race or appearance, it was about culture and citizenship

I don't think you know about Rome as much as you like to think The Roman's shared many gods with the Egytpian pantheon and some Roman's believed in all the God's in all cultures however they may have only worshipped the Roman Pantheon. While some of the points about different Roman Emperors being from Africa or Eastern Europe were a little misleading, it's not unlikely to assume that they adopted many of the traditions and customs local to them. Racists love this shit because they think it's an example of white excellence rather then a united effort of people from many different cultures and backgrounds. Feel free to look for yourself the numerous connections between fascist or supremacist groups and thier love for twisting history to thier own needs.
I mean, when I think about the Roman Empire, I think about the Roman military, architecture, war tactics, gladiator fights, emperors. racism? sure, there was racism in the Roman Empire but every single civilization in human history had and still continues to have racism. so dumb to somehow suggest that anyone that likes Rome must be a racist as the idiot in this video is talking. and there never was an African emperor in Rome aka black person. wehn Romans conquered a land, they would rule it and make the native population 2nd class citizens. also, North Africa was never black to begin with. North Africans were always brown, including majority of Egyptians. black Nubians might have lived in Egypt but they were a minority of the overall population.
The vast majority of what he said was a lie anyway, I'd watch other channels like invictus or kings and generals plus verified history experts who actually work for museums rather than this idiot

Spain was ruled by the North African Moors for over 700 years. Then, later on, the Conquistadors hit the Americas. Therefore, obviously, the Spanish Empire was, “for most of its history” far from being “mostly just whites.” LoL
Except they were ethnically different from most modern europeans or "whites" and actually viewed them as primitive barbarians for most of their history. So the concept of modern day germanics or celts, particularly the white supremacist lunatic variety, claiming them as this great white civilization that they can be proud of is pretty hilarious.

@@bg1052 The reasons aren’t very good, though. Even the British and other modern European Empires were Westernising the periphery’s elites and incorporating them into the power structure, are you going to claim they weren’t racist, especially by today’s standards?

Making the conflation with Rome is as dumb as saying the Chinese were supportive of multiculturalism because they sought tribute from afar and constructed a giant fleet to accomplish this in the Ming era. That wasn’t multiculturalism or tolerance, it was a desire to affirm supremacy, and the same assimilationist outlook and political structure led to the Dzungar genocide a couple of centuries later.

Nonsense Septimius Severus was Punic on his mother's side and Roman on his father's and came from the Punic city of Lepcis Magna.His son Caracalla gave Roman citizenship to all whatever race.Severus' wife Julia Domna was Syrian from an extremely prominent priestly family from Emesa in Syria.Her two nephews became emperors too -the infamous Heliogabalus who met a sticky end at a young age and his cousin Alexander Severus also didn't last long.Rome was an overwhelmingly multi cultural empire that accepted every race as long as they showed loyalty to the empire.Rome was full of Greeks,Egyptians,Syrians,Gauls,Jews and many many others as was the destroyed city of Pompeii.Rome tolerated every religion and cult except the Christians because they refused to sacrifice to the emperor.Major religions were the worship of Isis,an Egyptian goddess,Mithras a Persian god highly popular with the soldiers and also the Earth mother Cybele who originated from Phrygia in Turkey.Romans fused their culture with all the others like in Britain where the British Gallic culture became fused with the Roman.Later under the eastern Roman empire (Byzantine) the emperor's came from everywhere -many were Armenian,Macedonian,Isaurian,Illyrians,Slavic and they married women from all ethnic groups including the Khazars.Roman slavery unlike later slave trades included all types of people -especially Germans,Gauls,Greeks etc-it wasn't just black people.Go and disseminate your misinformation somewhere else.
True, people today when they say spanish emperos, say uuu he was today version of latino... No chance, hispanic people were removed by romans, and romans by goths, then arabs and franks and so many others went there
@@kaloarepo288 Septimius Severus’ mother was Fulvia Apia, a Roman woman. Julia Domna was from a Syrian family, wasn’t an emperor though.
@@MorallyDubiousFrog Severus was partially Punic and married a Syrian woman-all the sources say this.Rome was as multi cultural and non racist as you can get-I've just outlined in detail all the features of roman culture that proves this and you refuse to take it in -probably because you're racist -against Romans!Rome would also have had many black people as evidenced by early Christian saints like St Maurice whose name means "A Moor" and is always depicted as a black person in Christian iconography.Non Roman royalty was always highly respected in Rome like the kings of Mauretania and the Syrian Palmyrene queen Zenobia -Palmyra itself was a highly sophisticated fusion of Greek,Aramaic,Arab and Roman culture as proved by the spectacular ruins.

Yeah this video has a lot of holes too. Roman gods majorily didn't come from Africa and noble families of Rome did come from throughout the empire which included Africa, but for the most part they were Roman or Euro-descended families in those colonies that were able to gain wealth by already understanding the Roman systems. For example: Lucius Septimius Severus. Think about it, they show up to some place they just conquered like north Africa and immediately give locals noble family status after one generation? Doesn't make sense. This video has a lot stretched truths.

A good comparision would be Chingis Khan's Mongol Empire, where provencals were allowed to practice their religions and speak their language but were not considered equal outside of their province.
Edit: They did not worship gods from Africa, that is a lie. Their form of polytheism was based on the Greeks which was likely derived from Yamnaya mythology/mysticism from Russia/Ukraine. Indo-European polytheism coincides with the spread of Indo-European languages, Zeus/Jupiter being a Sky Father deity after all and is based on Dyēus Pater.

History is political, deal with it. Much of historiography has been influenced by politics
@simoneidson21 No, you clearly misunderstand what I was saying. History definitely has political messaging, but to use history as political weaponry is a mistake. It depreciates the value of the history and associates it with a "side", ostracizing a large amount of people. So I won't "deal with it", especially when a post like this one is just untrue.

Oh, it's wrong to call your own shits racial slurs now?
Every human being is a racist and is prejudiced. Regardless, that doesn't mean you should disrespect people on the basis of their religion or ethnic heritage. These things hurt people the most.
It's about mutual respect in spite of any prejudices you have and not unnecessarily shaming people when they commit micro-aggressions.

my love to roman empire is nothing to do with racism but Rome was racist if you look at the content of the "conquered citizens" or as they say "citizen of Rome" to have citizenship it be a near impossible task to do and lucky to survive because I you try to become a citizen you have to become the empire meat shield for the army
This is gaslighting at its finest.
Wow, I've never seen anybody prove they don't know what "gaslighting" means so quickly before, a dubious honour for you.
POV: you don't know the meaning of the word "gaslighting"
Atleast try searching for the meaning of the word on Google before making a fool of yourself on UA-cam.
@@SonofSethoitae So basically whoever thinks romans did anything by themselves( which they did a lot) is a racist, and that is not gaslighting becouse you saw a tik tok absolving you. Ok.
@@SonofSethoitae
Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone so as to make them question their own reality. The term derives from the title of the 1944 film Gaslight, though the term did not gain popular currency in English until the mid-2010s.
Thank you for showing us that you both “intellectuals” have the lowest comprehension skills in youtube. SMH
@@APimpNamedSlickback69 it's to manipulate and that's exactly what this douchebag's video is trying to do.
SPQR: the senate and the people of Rome. Let’s not be ignorant and realize that when the say ‘the people of Rome’ they do not refer to a multi racial melting pod
Except they did. Sure, the race ratio was skewed due to obvious geography, but it was not race dependant. Non whites had many ways to become citizens, such as beihg born to citizens or in some cases a citizen and non-citizen, as well as through military. At the beginning of the 3rd century, the definition widened even more to basically most of the free people of the Empire.
And by the "people of Rome" it means, well, the people of Rome. Was that just the people in the city of Rome? Clearly not. So what was it then? Well, what was Rome's. Probably everything under the ROMAn Empire.
@@vladstefan5216 There were very few ways to get roman citizenship. Even other Italic tribes(who got preferential treatment) required a war to get roman citizenship. There were very few ways to get roman citizenship. You could not marry into it and even children with a roman would remain peregrini(third class citizen). The only legal way to get roman citizenship was through 15-25 year service in the auxilliary.
Romans were very careful on who got roman citizenship and were focused on spreading their culture and people. Entire cities were founded to give veteran legionaries(had to be a roman) land where they had spent their youth.
Peregrini was only removed when Rome was in serious trouble and the emperor saw a way to increase taxes.
In a way Romans were more racist than racists these days. They were very selective on who got roman citizenship, and everyone but them sucked.
@@vladstefan5216 The prioritized roman culture above others, with Gaul for example bieng romanised by brute force and mass slaughter. You'd probably be seen as inferior or barely sentient to them.
@@danirey425 Yes, but only in the context of culture, not appearance. They were turned into Romans, but some Gallic influence made its way into Roman culture, as well as Greek, Middle Eastern, and African ones. Rome won't expand and become an empire if they were racist bigots and destroyed any trace of culture their conquered people had. Roman culture is a melting pot of different cultures, with Rome as the base
A present day example would be an Asian man that's a 2nd generation immigrant saying he's American because he was born in the US, lives in the US, is a citizen of the US, works in the US, and pays his taxes in the US. If you'd tell him to go back to where he came from and call him a chink, he'd be naturally offended because he's a fully fledged American despite his appearance
The ancient world's "racism" and superiority complex wasn't about race or appearance, it was about culture and citizenship
@@vladstefan5216 And how did that 'melting pot' work out for them, Vlad? Oh right, the empire collapsed.

I don't think you know about Rome as much as you like to think The Roman's shared many gods with the Egytpian pantheon and some Roman's believed in all the God's in all cultures however they may have only worshipped the Roman Pantheon. While some of the points about different Roman Emperors being from Africa or Eastern Europe were a little misleading, it's not unlikely to assume that they adopted many of the traditions and customs local to them. Racists love this shit because they think it's an example of white excellence rather then a united effort of people from many different cultures and backgrounds. Feel free to look for yourself the numerous connections between fascist or supremacist groups and thier love for twisting history to thier own needs.
@@jonathanstahl2946 you use the apostrophe for making words plural, your opinion is invalid.
I’m Mexican I love hearing about the Roman Empire that doesn’t make a racist
I mean, when I think about the Roman Empire, I think about the Roman military, architecture, war tactics, gladiator fights, emperors.
racism? sure, there was racism in the Roman Empire but every single civilization in human history had and still continues to have racism.
so dumb to somehow suggest that anyone that likes Rome must be a racist as the idiot in this video is talking.
and there never was an African emperor in Rome aka black person.
wehn Romans conquered a land, they would rule it and make the native population 2nd class citizens.
also, North Africa was never black to begin with. North Africans were always brown, including majority of Egyptians.
black Nubians might have lived in Egypt but they were a minority of the overall population.
I think your safe bro these people only view whites as racist they'd probably try to give you a medal
The vast majority of what he said was a lie anyway, I'd watch other channels like invictus or kings and generals plus verified history experts who actually work for museums rather than this idiot
It’s extremely possibly that you’re a direct descendant of the Roman Empire as well considering the vast majority of Mexicans have Spaniard dna
No, he is specifically talking about white mfs who idolize the Roman Empire as a white European empire lol whereas that was never the case - Emperor Elagabalus was an Arab Roman Emperor, Emperor Philip the Arab was an Arab Roman Emperor too
No Roman emperor was black, same with the Byzantines.

The Roman Empire was a European achievement. Why should we not be proud. We are all descended from these great people.
Be as proud as you can of your ancestors. Don't let the fool's advice come in between you and your ancestors.
you shouldn’t be a supremacist. There are degrees in pride.
During this time your actual ansector s which are the germanics were savages not civilized
Because you have no power over your ancestors, idolizing their achievements send the message that you are lacking in things to take pride in and instead claim the pride of others
@slaire and when the Roman Empire and its extraordinary High degrees of success are being discussed, that should give us an equally extraordinary High degree of pride.

I tought Rome was more idealiced by anti christians and liberals...... I never heard a word about Rome in race parameters till you started saying that Rome falked because didnt embrace diversity where consensun is that Rome failed for its weakness to control fireigners influx and tsunamy of "barbarians" to the centre of Rome. No civilization can asume this, Rome was diverse, (and more mediterranean tgan caucasian), diverse in all roman territory, but not in any dingke territory, Rome had emperors like Caracala, but....... One thing is this, and other thing is to pretend that city of Rome, or Italy can asume a big wave (bigger tgan local population) in 50 years. No civ can survive to this. If you have 10 green short persons in a area with green culture and send there 500 red tall persons there with their culture, green cukture is done, no matter what powerfull tgey think their culture is or what beautifull thrir atchitecture or art is......

Spain is European tho, and most of the Empire’s history it was mostly just whites. Great empire, highly inventive and innovative, not the largest tho
Spain was ruled by the North African Moors for over 700 years. Then, later on, the Conquistadors hit the Americas. Therefore, obviously, the Spanish Empire was, “for most of its history” far from being “mostly just whites.” LoL
Except they were ethnically different from most modern europeans or "whites" and actually viewed them as primitive barbarians for most of their history. So the concept of modern day germanics or celts, particularly the white supremacist lunatic variety, claiming them as this great white civilization that they can be proud of is pretty hilarious.

Even the British and other modern European Empires were Westernising the periphery’s elites and incorporating them into the power structure, are you going to claim they weren’t racist, especially by today’s standards? Sure, there’s variation, but an assimilationist mindset isn’t the same as tolerating multiculturalism. Making the conflation with Rome is as dumb as saying the Chinese were supportive of multiculturalism because they sought tribute from afar and constructed a giant fleet to accomplish this in the Ming era. That wasn’t multiculturalism or tolerance, it was a desire to affirm supremacy, and the same assimilationist outlook and political structure led to the Dzungar genocide a couple of centuries later.
