The Ultimate Ancient Roman Iceberg Explained
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- Welcome to the Roman Iceberg! This iceberg touches on nearly every aspect of Roman history, from Rome's greatest men like Julius Caesar, Augustus, and Cicero to Rome's downfall and even aspects of Roman history that you may not be all that well versed in such as Lepidus and Majorian. If it deals with Rome it probably got mentioned at some point in this video!
Rome and its people are some of the most studied aspects of history in the entire world. And yet, underneath all of the most showy and most well-known aspects of Roman history exists a deep and storied history that many people either know nothing about or have skipped over in favor of the more flashy aspects of Roman history. That is why I decided to create the Roman History Iceberg. 10 Tiers of various deep and not so deep cuts of Roman history filled to the brim with important people, events, places, and theories in Roman history all made with the goal of introducing all of you to some pieces of history that I feel are missed out on.

Legendary recommended pull
Pullo, back in formation!
Great job on this video! Thoroughly enjoyed it 😉👊
Great video. I appreciate your ability to be specific/pedantic and also friendly/accessible. Thank you.
This is actually an amazing video! You just earned a new subscriber
i love this, keep it up!
Excited to watch
Great video!
I'm disappointed you didn't include the "Jesus was Caesar" theory of Francesco Carotta,maybe you are not aware of it?If not,hey it could be an idea for a full in depth video for some other time.
Wow I have never heard of that. I can tell I'm about to go down a rabbit hole!
Good ole 4 hour lecture in the depths of UA-cam. Thank you good sir.
Great video
2:54:47 "arms have been taken beyond the shores of Hibernia"-Juvenal
what an achhhhhhhingly beautiful phrase im so happy i watched
🤘
Let’s fucking go!
Very cool, man
feeling a bit sus about this one. gonna bump Cost of Glory Anabasis tonight i think. Shout out Sertorius, shout out Sulla, and huge props to my man Pullo!
I absolutely love your videos, dude. Your voice is very soothing to listen to, Your style of writing is informative yet easily digestible and your knowledge of my favourite period of history is deep and dense.
Finding this channel was like finding a diamond. And I can't wait till you blow up in popularity.
I would usually agree that going deeper into topics is better than the surface level. Initially when these videos came out. I didn't like the separated iceberg stuff yet. Now all the videos are collated into a 4 hour video. Not only is it easier to sit through- It feels like the topics are interconnected. Bravo dude once again can't wait for the next one.
Loved the video, here's one for the algorhythm
Named my cat Cicero because Cicero is also my favorite Roman. Despite his arguably inglorious end. He was the model statemen,
Cicero has always been my favorite Roman! Glad to know I'm not alone!
Marcus Aurelius is my goat. Cicero is close second.
My favorite Roman is Julius Caesar and he wanted Cicero’s respect so badly and was once moved to tears by Cicero and changed his mind about recalling an exile
Getting a cane Corso and calling him Caeser
Lucius Marcius Septimius
Interesting how I found this video when it already had 476 views.
Considering this is nearly 4 hours long, it's shocking how many times you said "that's a story for another time" or "I don't have time to talk about all that in this video"... This must be what blue balls feels like.
I grew up in Mexico , Puebla . It was a really small village , we played matutena and zapatito azul , canicas which games with marbles and stones some idk the real names but they’re Roman games which idk how that small village which is basically a dessert end up with those games
Haven't seen a bloody iceberg so far 😊😊
5L of wine? Sounds like a good ol' Australian Goon Bag.
why tf has everyone suddenly started calling consuls, "consoles"???

I don't know how it would be hard to argue against that claim when Rome, far from "never returning" to the possession of the emperors, was returned only like 60 years later, and then the empire held the city again for another 219 years (about the same timespan as the time between Napoleon and today).
Fair point about the 60 years later thing, the Byzantines did come into possession of it around 535 after the Gothic War. I should have noted that. But after the Lombard invasion of Italy in 569 it is seriously hard to argue that the Byzantines controlled anything in the city. Nominally they held sovereignty over the area but practically it was controlled via a combination of the Pope, the Franks, the Lombards, and the Byzantines on the side. But fair point I really should have noted that!
@@idiottalkshistory
What makes you say that?
The Popes still required imperial approval after being elected up to Pope Benedict II in 684. The Exarch of Ravenna arrested the Pope on numerous occasions and dictated foreign policy against the Lombards.
Not to mention that Constans II straight up visited Rome in 663, and moved the capital to Sicily during his reign. I think it's pretty hard to argue the empire did not have control of Rome, when the emperor was able to visit.
Fair point. This isn't my main area of focus so I will definitely defer you to as it seems you have a much better grasp on the situation than I do!
Those people are dangerous and should be kept in tabs
9:10 Looks like the Greeks forgot to copyright their religion lol.
Good video, but if you keep saying 'sEaSar' I dare you to consistently call Cleopatra "Sleopatra"
Thank you! Yeah, I might be the worst person on the face of the Earth at pronouncing anything to be honest! I really do try though I promise.
Pretentious tbh, thats how people pronounce caesar in english
1:00:22 Charles the 8th? More like the VIII
Just got my Roman historian card revoked!

They do not want to be called "Berbers", they are Amazigh
Apologies! I did not know that, will make a note for the future!
@@idiottalkshistory I am not Amazigh, and I just found out recently myself despite having a history degree, so no apology necessary.
That's what's great about our subject - you can read and learn for a lifetime and there's always more.
Enjoying your channel, keep up the good work.
Ancient Kurdistan iceberg bitte
Dam I just subbed yesterday. I'm glad u let me know u are a partisan hack so I can unsub and never watch you crap again. Appreciate it bro
The ROMAN’S where Spanish too 😂 the statues are white due to all the paint fell off , its as if you show skull and bones when people show off the statues without paint lol
"evil women out for power" As is every man in the period.
Yeah but the difference is that men rise to power through strength both physical/mental,women use people behind the scenes(usually other men)through manipulation.
@@bobbyokeefe4285 most powerful men of the times also worked behind the scenes as well.i cant name a single person who actually gained power by "strength"
“Ummm yeah, but men are freaking mean too okay?!?!?”
No one said men aren’t out for power… so why do you feel the need to specify that?
@@muricanpepe3100 seemed like you where specifying it was purely a male urge
How is that what you took away from what I said? My point is that you deflected as soon as someone mentioned anything negative about a woman. I only made a point because that is often what happens when someone says literally anything slightly negative about women.
>thinks the Ottomans were the true successors to Rome
>randomly inserts a tirade against southerners/ conservatives/ anyone who doesn't believe the mainstream media re: the 2020 election
>favorite emperor is Julian
Reddit moment
Hahaha, your life is shit.
Stop crying, Dixie
> don't think any state is the real successor of Rome was mostly being funny
> I live in the South, born and raised as well, I can talk about it however I want to and I mostly referring to COVID not the election
> Julian = the Goat
cope and seethe
@@idiottalkshistoryit’s Scotland. You know, blood transfusion…
Well, the Osmans claimed the legacy of Rome, and the pope tried to get it back. Google the crusade of varna to see the outcome.
Really great video. Only thing I didn’t know was the Palmyrene Empire. Probably because reading about the crisis of the 3rd century and after just makes me depressed.
