The victims were ''prepared'' in a way that they would live long enough to endure whatever those twisted minds designed to do. They even had doctors during tortures to be sure the accused didn't die.

@@kawipsycho1448yapping
@@thenitpickchannel9993 There's a lot of evidence that the stuff about Nero and Caligula were largely invented by the Senate, who they famously hated. Caligula especially went out of his way to antagonize the senate. Nero was just seen as kind of a foppish loser and the Senate was pretty much entirely old men who thought a manly man was needed as Emperor. This is also why they killed Claudius (who was a pretty good administrator but had a limp and stuttered, as well as being painfully shy).
Christians post-Rome also hated Nero for essentially not giving a damn about the horrible suffering that the governors and populace were inflicting on Christians. He essentially did absolutely nothing to stop public torture, executions, and other things that could reasonably be referred to as lynchings.
But it's unlikely that Nero had random Christians tortured for his entertainment while he laughed, as depicted in the video. He also did write a song for the harp as the Roman equivalent of "sending thoughts and prayers" to demonstrate his sadness and remorse for the burning of Rome. Which...did not go over well, to say the least. This is where the "Nero fiddled while Rome burned" story comes from. He wasn't a sociopath, just kind of a soft idiot that never wanted to be emperor but was forced into it (Historians of the time say by his mother, although her exact role is also in doubt because "evil woman ruins Rome" fits far too conveniently into the Senate's telling of history.)

dont worry, many of your brothers and sisters were equally cruel. in fact many of your so called brothers and sisters would do this and more to you if they felt motivated enough. its not about ethnicity, belief or any other. cruelty is just in the nature of man. even in you, waiting just the right circumtances to be unleashed.

Yeah, ancient historians were known for making up anecdotes that would reflect poorly on the image of rulers they didn't like, and Nero is a prime example (though he mostly did deserve it lol)
There are contemporaneous accounts of Romans burning people and ensuring that it would take a long time for them to die.

Any writing from history can be rebuked by that method, Roman, Greek, Sumerian any of them.
Shall we throw out them all?
@@GwladYrHaf No, you throw out no records ever, especially nothing old.
Let me put it this way. Imagine it's the far future and the only records you have of elizabethan England are Shakespeare's plays and sonnets, things written to be fiction. You can still get great insight into the time and place. You can use them to reconstruct a lot of history and get pretty close to the truth.
Tacitus and other ancient writers are incredibly important to our understanding of their world. The way history was recorded then isn't the way we do it now, but there is still plenty of truth in it. Something we know about Tacitus in particular is that he really hated Nero, and so you need a bigger grain of salt when Nero is the subject he's talking about. He could be telling the proper truth, or he could be exaggerating or fabricating.
That all-or-nothing attitude behind your comment is very unhelpful.
"MOMMY ITS MY TURN TO LIGHT THE CANDLE!! " 💀
O..ok
Just one Christian before bed!
@@turtlehermit6047😂💀🥶
Never knew the fireworks were named after something so greusome. Roman candle fights just got 10x more metal
So here's a fact for you about Nero. While it's unlikely he actually fiddled as Rome burned (he could have played a lute or lyre, but no fiddles yet), he likely started the fire himself.
You see, the part of Rome that burned was a historic section of the city that people also still lived in. Nero wanted to demolish that whole section to build a huge opulent house for himself there. Of course this request was refused by the Senate on the grounds that it was fucking nuts. Then that part of the city just so happened to burn down, which Nero blamed on the Christians as he began setting the foundations of his new home down on the smoldering ashes.
Here are some real facts: He wasn't in Rome when it happened, he was in antium. He returned immediately and opened the Palatine for refuge and payed for the rebuilding. Also we found his domus aurelius. It was close to where vespasian build the Colosseum, while the fire started at the circus maximus on the other side of monte palantino. The ancient rome did burn down roughly every 20 years until nero banned houses that share a wall after the fire, what pissed of the Senate because they where the landlords that build that cramped.
+The area directly south of the circus maximus was a poor area where a lot of Christians and Jews lived. That's also the area where the fire most likely started. So it was most likely a Christian that started it (by accident). The Roman's had virtual no idea that there is a difference between jews and that new sect at that time, so they did persecute the (strange) jews in rome so why would they call it the christian candle? Right they didn't. That's a later name given by christian 'historians'. For the Roman's they where jews and strange jews not christians and the jews where allready weirdos for them.
Atleast Paul found his justice for all the countless murders he committed.
Despite the well-known stories, there is no evidence that the Roman emperor, Nero, either started the fire or played the fiddle while it burned. It was a story made up after his death because he was so hated. He in fact was not in Rome at the time but returned immediately after receiving the news and even opened shelter areas for victims. If I recall my Roman history right, he paid for reconstruction with his own funds.
@@blub5117 I found it funny that some sources called Christians "fish-worshippers" or "Fish Jews" because they had the little fish symbol you sometimes see on cars today, (representing the feast where Jesus duplicated the fish and bread) as their symbol of following Jesus. Obviously at the time using the cross was seen as both a little too soon and also morbid, as the cross was still used as an execution method.
That is so evil and sadistic…

This story was probably invented by Tacitus, Nero's enemy, because no other historian talks about this if not by quoting Tacitus. It was very common among ancient historians to make up terrible or heroic anecdotes for people they hated/loved.
Not sure why this would be a thing tacitus would make up to defame Nero, considering Tacitus hated christians too.
@@guineapigclips5205 Tacitus hated Christians, but hated Nero even more, because Tacitus was a Republican while Nero was a famously anti-Republican emperor
@@MiScusi69 I understand that, but this just seems like an odd thing to make up if they both hated Christians.
@@guineapigclips5205 The point of Tacitus' history is not "Look at how brutally Nero killed Christians!", it is "Look at how brutally Nero killed!". The fact that they were Christians was just to make the story more plausible, since Nero did, in fact, kill Christians.
@@guineapigclips5205 it's highly likely that later when the Empire Christianised, later, now Christian, historians "revised" Tacitus' work to add some more atrocities to his already condemned memory to make him look even worse (and in ways that hit for the now Christian populace of the Empire).

@DEVS_VLTIMA they weren't there, but the idea that an emperor of rome would play the fiddle during a fire in his capital city would require some serious evidence, like having been there and witnessed it.

@@historyismetal2187 There’s no definitive primary source of this event which describes what exactly happened (beyond that Rome burned) or what Nero did.
He played the lyre during the fire after efforts failed...the song play was the Sack of Troy which means he was sad to see his city in ruins.

I hate be that guy because I love the channel and you guys look to have put a lot of effort into this one, but the only source we have for this is one paragraph in a book by a notoriously inaccurate historian named Tacitus who was twelve when Nero died and best friends with Nero’s political enemies.
Here is the entire original paragraph. “Covered with the skins of beasts, they were torn by dogs and perished, or were nailed to crosses, or were doomed to the flames and burnt, to serve as a nightly illumination, when daylight had expired.”
No mention of anyone but Christians, or garden parties, or wax, and on top of that there is not a single other source or piece of archeological evidence for any of this.

Honestly. A church karen doesn’t get a “Christian discount” on her fast food order, she screams about persecution. THATS the bar. That such people have the unmitigated gall to call themselves followers of Jesus boils the blood.
That’s not even hyperbole, I literally had that happen when I worked fast food. She screamed about how if I didn’t demonstrate generosity by giving her free fries I would go to hell for persecuting a child of Jesus. I don’t have the best memory but I do remembered things that make me laugh.

"A Living, screaming worshipper? No, that's just my fav firework."
The sadism of the Greeks and Romans is on another level.
It's awful.
Nero probably got more of a buzz watching his guests instead of the roman candles.
Nero also said the screams of Christians was music to his ears.
Every time I learn something about Nero it makes me hate him even more. The dude was a complete psychopath who was given power.
Some modern historians question the extent of Nero's persecution, arguing that early Christian writers may have exaggerated the events to glorify the martyrs and vilify Nero. The evidence comes primarily from Tacitus, writing decades later, with little corroborating evidence from other ancient sources.
Tbh i dont really think He did all that shit either BE was proabably evil AS fuck but thats Like WE gonna kill him in His sleep evil Like Caesar
Recommending "Quo Vadis". It's a roman about Christianity in those days and about Nero as the cruel and crazy emperor (and basically how he treated them) and about how Rome got burned.
Depending on how windy it is that day usually the smoke would knock you out, if its windy then you actually burn alive
Eww. Probably wouldn’t wanna roast any marshmallows at a Roman party, I guess…
I still don't think it is worse than being burnt to a crisp by a fire breathing dragon and then eaten like a burnt piece of popcorn.
Saying them as animals is an insult to the animals .
Nero did NOT play the fiddle/violin! The violin wasn't invented until 100 years after Nero! By saying "Nero fiddled while Rome burnt," by using the word 'fiddle,' they meant he foolishly let Rome burn unfazed! He fiddled away Rome, not actually fiddled.
Nero was such a bad ass that he played the fiddle centuries before it was invented
“Waiter! Is that pork I can smell from the kitchens?” “No sir, tofu is on the menu tonight”.
People think the rich and powerful today are sick, Nero had literal human candles in his garden.
That “Christian candle” method is nothing compared to the hell experience he’s going through right now😭
Nero was such a crazy sadistic ruler even king joffery would react 😅
the guys who died this way was traumatized for the *rest* of their life
You can’t even begin to imagine..
let’s not forget The Brazen Bull was invented by Perillus and presented to Phalaris, the cruel and tyrannical ruler of Acragas. The Bull was a torture device - the victim was placed inside the bronze sculpture which was then placed over flames and the victim was roasted alive. The stem of the body fluids would make the bull whistle through the nose.
Fun fact Nero did not play the violin while Rome burned. The violin didn’t even exist yet
And we actually remember this barbarity by naming a kind of fireworks a roman candle and another sick choice of fireworks is the Catherine Wheel.
