Your videos are making me so happy. I’m so interested in this and of course I’m not college-educated and I’m so happy that you’re putting this out. I think the teaching company can really gain something by picking you up
When you said king of Armenia my heart dropped, it's so hearwarming to even hear a mention of your homeland which is same age if not older than the contry of Romans.
It’s crazy, the Armenians are absolutely ancient. And the kingdom would endure into even the late empire and become pivotal in the conflicts between eastern Rome and Persia.
Enjoyed your presentation very much. You do excellent job of bringing Ancient Rome back to life. Your use of the modern pictures combined with straight forward dialog is what I like the best. Looking forward to more.
This may be heresy but one of the things I really like about these videos, besides using my own imagination, is seeing the 3D renderings of how it probably looked at the time. I think it helps invite the senses to dig in more or not become uninterested with the decay of modern day.
Love all your videos, you put everything forward in such an engaging way. I can't wait for your book to arrive. I'm very thankful I came across your channel, all the best.
Excellent! Thank you! Finally some detail in your video. I was pretty much not gonna watch anymore but this is much better than I know. I’m sure you left alot out.
It would be awesome if you could include a reconstructed image of these monuments alongside the reference. The description is good but it would be much easier to envision with some sort of outline at least if not a more meticulous representation
How fun would it be if one day you could hire a virtual reality set and walk through the Roman forum, while the set is communicating with the other sets, visualising Roman citizens in your own walk.
That’s a really cool idea. I went last year to Rome and walking through the forum I couldn’t help but feel a bit sad. Just thinking imagine seeing this in its prime
Great video and amazing channel! These great anecdotes and interesting stories really bring the ancient world to life. Reminds me of Historia Civilis in that sense. Keep it up👍🏻
It's amazing how many Roman structures (like the 'Parthian arch') survived until the Renaissance. The Renaissance is supposedly the first time since antiquity that these structures would have been appreciated, yet it seems the people of the Renaissance were more eager to tear apart Roman structures than people had been in the middle ages.
Think of it like this: In the middle ages people were *frantically* and methodically tearing down the ancient Roman monuments, in the Renaissance it happened comparatively very seldom, because of the respect they had for the ancients.
I'm a history buff and love the way you present information with all the nuances that may have been unknown to most of us. Thanks for sharing your knowledge
The tall brownstone in the background 38:01? I've been in that building . . . a police station . . . perhaps an Italian Army facility to protect The Forum. 1962. I was young and remember the very tall marble structure behind that. I knew I was at some place special.
Julius Caesar did not conquer all of Gaul. One small village Amorica (Brittany) famously managed to resist the Romans with the help of a magic potion concocted by the druïde Panoramix. This potion gave extraordinary strength to their heroes Asterix and Obelix.
@@toldinstone There is a keen interest in ancient Rome, you maybe amazed to know (or perhaps not). The HBO series Rome which ran for two seasons has a cult following. I own the DVDs but watch clips on YT. These small clips have 100's of thousands of views and from reading the comments I can see that most of the posters know the plot lines and characters. Ciaran Hinds is acknowledged to be the most talented actor to have played Julius Caesar. He nails it, they say. The Octavian actor is also admired. The general consensus is that JC and CA are two of the most charasmatic, shrewd, and brilliant leaders of all time.
@@toldinstone Glad to hear that and have an expert in the Ancients validate the performance. The two scenes that everyone enjoyed the most and that you see quoted repeatedly: the scene in the Egyptian palace where they bring in Pompey's head. To the jabbering Ptolemy: Silence! And then HInds, fuming: He was a Consul of Rome! Shame on the House of Ptolemy. ... Later in the same palace: Bring me the man who took Pompey's life... and speaking to the court Eunuch/Minister: You wretched woman! Finally, as regards JC - it would be a lot easier to praise his genius had he not slaughtered 1 million
I have been wishing since the 80s that when Virtual Reality technology became good enough we could have virtual tours of accurately recreated ancient cities and monuments. I think we have technology now for it still hope someone designs it.
How I wish I could time-travel, I’d go back to the Athenian Acropolis c. 450 BC, and the Roman Forum ca. 50 AD. It might be interesting to do a video on the Cursus Honorum and the greatly unbalanced voting of the classes and tribes, which became later know as the republican part of Res Publica. The office of Tribune of the Plebs is interesting, too, Claudius Pulcher, a patrician, changed to a plebian (Clodius), in order to get this powerful office. He also committed a sacrilege that is interesting, by sneaking into important all-female only religious rites.
I have always enjoyed your videos. I absolutely adored you after watching your video on Detroit. My hometown. I knew you were a man of steel when you mentioned bicycling around the city to get photos of the architecture. Takes a brave soul to putz around the neighborhoods of Detroit for fun! Hats off to you.
If using rwo measurement systems, please do the calculation. Rounding off the result is one thing, but rough estimates always accumulate discrepancies as the numbers get bigger. So with 1 yard equalling .94 of a meter, 15 feet = 4.7 meters. And 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 2=5, 3=7.5, and 4 = 10. Thank you.
He was by birth a member of a wealthy plebian family (gens Octavia) but was descended from the partician Julia gens through his grandmother and by virtue of being adopted by G. Julius Caesar. The Julii claimed descent from the royal house of Alba Longa and, by extension from the goddess Venus.
These videos need many more pictures including aerial photography (Google Earth is fine) with arrows to point at precisely what you are referring to. Essentially, this video is an audio tour of the site with pictures we can't tell how they are related. With properly related audio and video, you would tell a very important story.
For those that don’t know, Julius Caesar left money in his will to every citizen of Rome. I’m not sure they knew this before his funeral, but the common people loved him anyway.
If you are going to do both measurement systems, please caalculate them out, because the differences accumulate as one goes on. So 15 ft = 4.7 meters, and an inch = 2.54 cm; 2=5; 3=7.5; 4=10.
Ive always been fascinated with the Rome of antiquity. I like to daydream about what day to day life was like in Rome at that time. What really interests me is how advanced and modern the city was, people living day to day in a way that is not much different to our modern lives. Lawyers, artisans, city adminstrators, small business owners, criminals, vagrants, artists, immigrants, tourists, mailmen, politicians, prostitutes and priests populating apartment complexes, makeshift hovels in back alleys and expensive villas. Plays and sporting events entertained the people in huge venues.
The beaks of Cleopatra? "beaks" in this context were likely the prows of ships associated with Cleopatra and Antony's defeat? This part of the video is the most replayed so I am probably not the only one confused 😅 I never heard of "ska-lee-ots"
Didn't Caesar reform the calendar in his role as Pontifex Maximus, whose reponsibility the calendar normally was, not by virtue of being dictator? I recall the museum displays in Rome said he could not update the calendar every year (as was the usual practice) because he was away on campaign so much.
youve got to look a little harder but north americas history of civilizations isn't as lost to time, or as primitive, as weve always thought. the channel "Ancient Americas" is pretty new but has cranked out a dozen plus videos that have blown out my entire conception of the history of the americas. there are some insane things in america's past.
That's because the American Indians didn't build shit. You have to go to South America to find much of anything. Caral in Peru for example was rocking large pyramids before Egypt.
I visited the forum in 2018, and then walked to the nearby Tarpeian Rock, which is hard to see from the street. The Tarpeian Rock should be discussed by you; that would be interesting.
Just to everyone who plans to visit the Roman forums, be careful if you pick a guide. I went on my own, but I overheard a couple of them in Spanish tours, and it's baffling how misinformed they are. First guy was okish, he committed some mistakes that seem pretty basic (like claiming Caesar crossed the Tiber rather than the Rubicon), but overall was correct. The second guy was amazingly bad. I'm an armchair historian whose knowledge comes from UA-cam, podcasts and Wikipedia. So far from really knowledgeable. But it was embarrassing to hear that guy. Telling tourists that Rome was an ideal democracy before Caesar became dictator, claiming that Brutus was Caesar's biological son, and outlandish bs like that. Just because they're guides it doesn't mean they know stuff. You'd be much better informed listening to Mr Toldinstone
We all want to time travel to Rome to see how glorious it was but we also forget that in the streets walk armed Gladiators just looking to get into a fight lol Only in Rome could a senator die by javelin during a casual stroll through the streets lol
I keep reading descriptions of all the Roman temples and other structures that are destroyed by fire...but they all seem to be made of stone and marble. How much could the fire of an impromptu cremation destroy the curia, for example? Very confusing!
Imagine trying to hire a group of individuals to keep a flame on 24/7. And tell this group it’s for 30 years, and they can’t have sex the entire time or they’re buried alive. Hilarious to think about in today’s culture. Literally just a fire 😂😂
The Roman calendar was so out of sync because Caesar, as Pontifex Maximus, hadn't been adding days at the end like he was supposed to. This is a great channel, but your bias to "Caesar is awesome" is really showing here.
Well, I'm hardly alone in that bias... Caesar was indeed irresponsible in his intercalations as P. M., but it can't be denied that he fixed the calendar.
@@toldinstone I agree that he changed the calendar to the more accurate one developed in Hellenistic Egypt, but all calendars, including our own, require adjustments over time. Caesar neglected his duty in making those adjustments. If I fail to maintain a property, but then make significant needed repairs, should I be praised? Or should I have done my duty previously?
Wow! Doctor Ryan, I LOVE the content of your presentations. Sadly, your speaking pattern, consisting of pauses separating rushes of hurried words is often difficult for me to understand. I don't wish to miss any part of your excellent programs. Would it be possible for you to slow down? Many, many thanks.
Ah. Rome. Celebrated by man. Prophesied and condemned by God. Does anyone know that the fall of Rome (476 AD) was mentioned in the book of Daniel? Nebuchadnezzar’s dream in the second year of his reign (603 BC) foretold Rome as the final empire before Christ. It is depicted as the “feet of iron mixed with clay. Here’s a clip from a Google search: “ The final kingdom would be strong as iron and would crush and break all the others. The feet of mixed clay and iron would represent a divided kingdom. A "rock" would then smash all the kingdoms to bits, establishing a kingdom that would never be destroyed.” Who was that “Rock?” Who’s kingdom will never die? Jesus Himself. Astonishing prophecy.
I agree, and not from a christian point of view but since the last 50 years of history have no rights to suddenly deny 1950 years of using the BC/AD. It is a fact that the christian reference dominated the last two millenia.

Marble actually burns. It was often stripped off ancient buildings and burned to collect the resulting lime ash.

Did it actually exist, or was it just.... Hollywood?
