    The capital was moved to Constantinople because it was in a more strategic location. Militarily it had a natural sea barrier which prevented it from getting invaded on multiple occasions. And it was a better place economically and administratively in running the empire. In addition, Rome was still recognised as the spiritual capital of the Empire and remained significant until its fall.

      As a Norwegian i cannot comprehend that my ancestors raided Paris , Constantinopel and all in between for 300 years.. I mean we where peasants and lumberjacks with axes and sword .. And the word Viking only means traveller.. Its insane, but i guess when famine and low on resources hit its good to be tall and good with an axe to be a rapist criminal ..

    3:02. A number of Roman writers understood very well the revolution of empires. An extract from Seneca, the Roman philosopher: “Ancient empires have fallen when in the very heyday of their power. The number cannot be reckoned of the kingdoms that have been overthrown by other kingdoms. God now makes it His special aim to exalt some and to overthrow others; nor does He let them gently down, but dashes them from their pinnacle, so that no remnant of them is left.” (Natural Questions. 3.8-9)

    As a Spaniard I can give a little insight into this topic, although I'm in no way an historian.
    About "ALL" the gold: The mining methods during the time Spain controlled the American colonies were EXTREMELLY primitive compared to what we have now. I don't remember the number but there was some comparison that went something like "the equivalent of all the gold and silver that Spain took from the americas is mined in just 2 years nowadays". Its probably more or less time but it was something like that, just to give context to how slow and basic surface mining was at the time, without any of the advanced machinery of nowadays.
    Also it is true that the gold and silver was spent and left spain almost as soon as it got in, but inflation also plays a part, as Spain was bringing so much new silver to Europe that the value went down.
    Spanish coinage was so universal that they were found almost annywhere in the globe and were the de-facto global currency, to the point that USA used Spanish coinage for many decades after independence, and pegged the dollar value to the "Spanish dollar" for many years.

      It's actually incredible how wrong you are in your very confident assertions, and it's funny because you say that this guy knows very little about what he's talking about, but look at yourself before you start judging others.
      First of all, Rome was never the capital in the Western Roman Empire, the capital of West Rome was Ravenna, not Rome itself. Secondly, you say that West Rome was "catholic" and East Rome was "orthodox", when in reality there was no such thing as Catholic Christianity or Orthodox Christianity back when the Western Roman Empire actually existed. The great Schism happened over 500 years after Western Rome fell, both East Rome and West Rome followed the same Christianity before West Rome fell (Nicene/Chalcedonian). West Rome was never Catholic, and East Rome was not Orthodox when both Empires existed.

The Roman Empire is generally considered by most historians to have fallen in 476 AD when Odoacer sinks his sword into the throne of the Roman emperor and declares himself King of Italy. The Byzantines were a surviving offshoot of Rome but they were far from Roman in anything other than name only. Completely different culture, political influences, different societal norms. That would be like saying Alexander’s empire lasted 300+ years because the Seleucid Empire and ptolomeic kingdom lasted til 63 BC and 30 BC. In reality, Alexander’s empire was split up by 321 BC, 2 years after his death.

    I read a statistic that claimed that Spain mined from its colonies in 3 centuries almost the same amount of gold that nowadays Peru mines in a single year, so they didn't take all the gold from America. Most of that gold was spent on wars in central Europe (which was part of its empire) to fight Protestantism. Another great part of its gold was spent battling separatist revolutions in America and Asia, as well as fighting against the US in Cuba and the Philippines. The Royal Navy did little harm to the Spanish Armada, most of the Armada's ships were sunk by bad weather. It was most probably the other way round, a Spanish commander, Blas de Lezo, literally single-handly (he only had one arm, and also missed a leg and an eye) defeated a whole British fleet at Cartagena de Indias. The biggest threat to Spain from Britain was the British Freemasonry, which conspired with separatists to spark revolutions in the Spanish colonies (i.e. Simón Bolívar, the idol of the Marxist Southamerican dictators, was their useful idiot). The little gold that remained was lost in the Spanish 1936 Civil War when the Communist Revolutionist Government stole all the national reserves before retreating from the capital, Madrid. The commies gave all the gold to their sponsor, the Soviet Union, but they surely pocketed some of it themselves because they lived some pretty fancy lives in exile.

    The capital of Rome was moved to Constantinople (Istanbul) since it was much wealthier at that time. If you look on the map it was the land bridge between Asia and Europe. Centuries before it was given to Marc Anthony to rule during the second triumvirate which included himself, Caesar Augustus who held Spain and Gaul, and Marcus Lepidus who held onto Northern Africa. All three collectively ruling over Italy/Rome. Augustus and Agrippa quickly dispatched Lepidus and took over control of his area. Leaving Marc Anthony in the East drinking and boning his life away with Cleopatra until they both died. Augustus ruling the entirety of the Roman Empire from there on.

Before the world might as well be run through those whose agenda it was to make conquering a point. Now, whether you are a conquerer or not, you know the agendas of every empire. People are beginning to think for themselves. This was not possible in the past. So the future is kind of in the air as far as who maintains power and for how long.

    Spain could've Reconquista'd much earlier, like when Castile first started to regain territory like Córdoba 250 years beforehand.

      There was no Spain until the reconquista. Shows what you know. The Iberian peninsula was a patchwork of small Christian kingdoms and a few Islamic states. Ferdinand and Isabella were each king and queen of separate, neighboring kingdoms - Castile and Aragon. They married, and that marriage gave them the resources to fulfill their vision of evicting the moors.

    And since Joe likes discussing different faith issues, I'd love to see some proper Christian thinkers on the show. Philosophers, historians, or scientists perhaps? For different perspectives. Like William Lane Craig or N.T. Wright or Francis Collins. Would love to see Joe extend the faith discussions with people who are leaders in their areas.

      The extent that the Byzantine Christian Empire was destroyed by the Islamic expansion is largely overlooked in the modern European view of history. The battle of Tours was in Northern France. That's how far the Moors advanced into Europe. Columbus was looking for alternate trade routes that bypassed the Arab stranglehold that they held on the existing trade routes.
