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.
LOL. If I really talked about everything as much as I wanted to this video would probably be upwards of 20 hours! Eventually though I will cover everything I talked about in more detail so stick around! :)
If you want that, you could try the history of rome. However, I like these deeper looks at specific things. I'd like a series perhaps. Each of these topics could be their own video.
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
The term "Imperator" in ancient Rome did not mean "emperor" in the way we understand it in modern English. Instead, it referred specifically to the head of the army, similar to what we would call a "commander-in-chief" today. Augustus, the first Roman emperor, preferred to use the term "Princeps" to describe himself, which means "first citizen" or "leading citizen." Over time, later Romans began to use his name, "Augustus," as the title for what we now consider an emperor.
Thank you for this, it was a great way of introducing me to a number of highlights and stories from Rome's history that I'd never heard of. I quite like how it switches around between time periods as well.
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.
@@juelzsantana1075 I don't mean to disagree, I just feel like the idea of the iceberg is also to add fringe theories to the bottom of the iceberg, but things kind of got lost along the way so now the bottom of the iceberg is not all "this game is personalized" or "X event never really happened" type of made-up conjecture.
@@juelzsantana1075.... you don't understand what an iceberg is in this context. Absolutely that is something that would be well-suited for the bottom of an ancient rome iceberg.
15:42 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.
There's more to a great general than winning battles. George Washington kept his army together for years in what seemed to be an unwinnable war, it's something that most generals in history wouldn't be able to do, not even Alexander the Great who, by the end of his campaigns, was hated by his own army despite winning every single battle.
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.
as a romanian is simply impossible to accept the ottomans as the succesaors of Rome. My entire country was concieved whith the common ties to the romans, while people seacked independence from the ottomans. I have nothing against modern turks, its juat that as someone from the balkans i cant condone the ottoman empire, which i see as an invader, not diferent than the austrian and russian empires who also interviened in my lands history. I wouldnt say the state of romania is a roman empire, but i can say that we have more motives to call ourselves romans or descentants of romans than the germans or turks or russians, which in my perspective were large empires who just wanted to pose as romans
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.

Scipio Africanus is the goat, Hannibal would have made short work of Caesar if he faced Hannibal at the same age, maybe any age. Him and Fabian single handedly saved Rome
We have a saying here which states that if you're deeply fascinated by historic ages like for example the medieval ages or ancient rome, then that's because you lived in it during a previous life.
To be 100 percent honest with you, that is how I've always said it and have always heard it pronounced. Maybe that's because I'm from the south? I don't know! How do you say it?
my brother in christ, the eastern roman empire was literally the same basic entity just with the lack of the west that augustus founded, does the western united states collapsing no longer make the eastern united states the united states? no the united states stays the united states
@@59tothegrave4eva You are passionately arguing against a point I didn't make. I'm obviously not saying the Eastern Roman Empire didn't exist or wasn't Roman. If anything, I implied the opposite.
Octavian most certainly was not named like this most of his life. Most of his life he was called Cezar Augustus. Octavian is name given by nowadays historians just not to confuse him with his uncle- Gaius Julius Caezar, from who he got his name
22:50 I've always found the explanation that 'foreign languages sounded like gibberish' is the origin of barbaroi or barbarophonoi to be deeply unsatisfying, but I feel like there is a more logical possibility. For instance, the traditional explanation does not explain why 'bar' is the syllable used to represent gibberish. But it is a well-known phenomenon that as civilizations urbanized, people started introducing themselves using the pattern of 'name from place' or 'name job' or even 'name, job of place', etc. More nomadic civilizations have tended to be more likely to use the naming format 'name, child of name, child of name, child of name, ....' Given the groups the name was applied to, especially opposite the direction opposite Rome, one could imagine how it seemed to the Greeks that every time they met a man from the eastern end of the Mediterranean that he introduced himself as 'name, bar name, bar name, bar name, bar...' and they'd start to the nomadic middle-easterners as "those bar-bar people"
Im a purist. When the actual city of Rome fell to a foreign conqueror, the empire was over. everything else after that was larping. the British Empire doesn't still exist because their wayward colony of America is a superpower
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"
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.
Went to sleep, woke up with the video still playing
