this channel has come so far

wow

I had never even heard of this!

great storytelling

Hmm, maybe I should read this? I did wonder why our world is so cruel when its supposedly governed by an all loving god? But also about hell. So far no Christian could sufficently answer this.

horrifying stuff

this was a lot of fun! great work

Fascinating portrayal of the ancient world

incredible portrait of the changing norms and values that make history so fascinating

Great video

Loved this!!!

I LOVE TRIBUNATE🗣🗣🗣🗣 BEST ROMAN HISTORY CHANNEL EVER‼️‼️‼️‼️ (Above but in my native language; Afrikaans): EK'S LIEF VIR TRIBUNATE🗣🗣🗣🗣 BESTE ROMEINSE GESKIEDNIS KANAAL OP UA-cam

Appreciate the in-depth dive here and I also want more philosophy content! Cicero's Republic please!!

Great video my friend! Would love more video on ancient philosophy from you. As an Orthodox Christian I think classical philosophy complement the faith quite nicely especially the Stoics and Platonists. I see no division between the two wisdom but an evolution. Much of the wisdom of the Church Fathers back then and our monks nowadays are connected with the wisdom of the philosophers. I can see the words and spirit of Epictetus in my priest nowadays when I hear about Divine Providence and how we must assent to God plan, how we should embody our faith with action and not waste time with beautiful words and rethorics. In seeing the threads of my faith connecting with the wisdom of ancient philosphers and in living according to those principles in a way I feel like a late-antiquity Roman in spirit.

Great narrative- love your videos

None this is proof it was done to the alleged JC.

When true genealogy meets 19th century nationalism.

As a Croatian man our language has a wierd connection to roman latin. Bucco is buka here and it means the same thing today. So does mater

Ty for the vid

You should continue capturing philosophy and the material conditions that produced them. You take on this Boethius is quite lucid .

More on the fall of Rome please!!!

The simple answer to why bad things happen in a supposedly inherently good world guided by an all-loving God is that the world is in fact inherently evil and that there is no God. The grim and merciless laws of natural selection shaped a world of suffering for no reason and no august or beautiful purpose. Life consists primarily in the infliction and suffering of pain and death is nothingness. What you see is what you get, simple as that. It's just too painful to accept for most people, so we concoct all sorts of bullshit copium. Of course, it's easier for the rich and powerful convince themselves that the world is inherently good, which is why Christianity and Greek philosophy were so prominent among the urban elite, not so much anywhere else until much later.

Continuing on the theme of continuity, when were the last Roman elections held? There were still consuls and praetors and other magistrates under the Principate, but how were they chosen? Were they simply appointed by the emperor, or were some still elected, even in sham, rigged elections?

Why should I read Boethius?

What are we fundraising for, y'all? 😎

In "Alfred the Great" Eleanor Shipley Duckett says that given that he had stabilized his kingdom of Wessex, Alfred took to learning Latin. He finally translated 2 books, one of which was Boethius. He often found he needed a hundred words to translate one word of Latin. He concluded that Old English could not be a vehicle of civilization. As a contemporary of Charlemagne he saw Charlemagne's failure to teach the French to use Latin grammar again. So Alfred ordered his lords to learn some Latin and use Latin turns of phrase, proverbs and vocabulary as a court dialect that would filter down. He envisioned English as the most heavily Latinized Germanic language. English today is Alfred's dream. Alfred is the only king the English have called "the Great".

Great video, as always! I wonder why renowned Roman philosophers often met their demise at the hands of state executioners. Though, to be honest, I don't know many Roman philosophers myself; Seneca is usually the one mentioned. By the way, your content is quite dense and packed with information. Sometimes, it feels like you're delivering it at machine-gun speed. Could you consider adding a few more pauses between your thoughts? It would really help the audience to absorb and appreciate the material better. You don't have to keep it strictly under 12 minutes?

Yes I want MOAR

I would love to see more for this!!

The romans saw fucking CANNONS bro

_Sword unsheathed_ *LOOK HERE MARS, LOOK.. HERE.. MARS, I AM TITUS PULLO! THESE BLOODY MEN MY GIFT TO YOU* _Sword sheathed_ That's the scene I happened upon, first time I laid eyes on the show and I can say without a doubt, still grips me till today. Rest well Ray Stevenson. Rest well.

I read the book and it is remarkable. 1st, it sounds very modern even though it is in a style not used anymore. 2nd, it's clear educated Romans knew about the state of their civilization. And 3rd, reading between the line, he didn't think he was going to be executed. He thought he had a voice in court still in Cassiodorus. The book ended very abruptly after a discussion of free will (could the executioner not have waited another couple of hours?). A careful reading gives more than just the philosophy

Fascinating material, as always. For me it hits closer to home though. As I delved ever deeper in Roman History, I became very interested in trying to understand what it meant and may have felt like to be Roman - the nature of Romanitas. After reading Marcus Aurelius and Seneca, I kept going with St Augustine's Confessions and it's been a bedside book for me ever since. It sounds like Boethius' Consolations would be a logical next step!

I would love to see more videos on Roman philosophy. Please make some

Super interesting - I had no idea about the Greeks on Lemnos in 1912.

Not many videos here on UA-cam covering Ancient Roman religion, this one was great. Gained a new subscriber!

Heirachies are bad guys, and every motion in time breaks them down. You dont need a weatherman to see which way the wind is blowing!

I just find it amusing that in 1912 people are more willing to take seriously the claims of modern Greeks to be Romans then the actual Modern Romans who are still speaking an evolution of the same language.

Roman spirit today? Russia and Vladimir Putin, no doubt.

They didn't crucify people on a T spaped cross . it was an X shape, if your going to make a historical documentary, at least make with the correct information.

Wish this channel had a discord! I've been searching in vain for years for a place to discuss ancient history/archeology that isn't run by ludicrous alt right weirdos...

The Romans were disgusting.

Thank you for this.

Awesome video

A period which MIGHT have included the life of Jesus of Nazareth.

Bless this channel 🙏 almighty algorithm But rly, I'd love to see more videos about classical philosophy and the real world context around them!

While I find the Jesus mythicist position to be absurd, given the historical data, and by employing the historical method, this video title and some rhetoric within the video is not accurate. Historians do not "know" Jesus existed. Because unless the content creators are using "know" in a colloquial way and not as an absolute certainty, historians can be absolutely certain about historical figures from antiquity.

Really good video, want to reread it now (and also see you talk more about ancient philosophy in addition to history)

Do you believe that Rome really fell? If so, what was the decisive event that ended the empire?
