No way I'd watch 4 hours of any other history documentary. Everyone has already applauded Mary for her fantastic presentation, but I think the producers and their crew also deserve high praise. The camera work and scene staging is top notch. And the organization required to get the trips planned, the lines scripted & recorded, all the pieces filmed, and to edit it all together so well is insane, especially with a small crew.
@@LordTelperion thats your opinion and thats your choice to think that, but thats not the reality. Staying ignorant is a choice at this point. The documentary is there, all you have to do is watch it and reflect on what you see around you.
This was originally done as 4 x 1 hour shows. Much more manageable. As you watch, you can see the gaps for the commercial breaks, and the four starts of each episode. What you could do is watch until you hit the start of the next episode, and take a break, then return at your leisure.
Mary is amazing. Mary made an impression on my wife and sparked her curiosity of History. It's made our marriage stronger. We sit and enjoy documentaries together and talk about history all the time. Thanks for igniting that spark Mary. I'm forever grateful 🙏
I love this twofold: 1) It’s surprisingly hard to find a comprehensive timeline of old societies. Please, please do more! 2) Ms. Mary is an absolute QUEEN.
I go to know she specializes in Roman history watching her and Stephen Fry's debate on Who Made a Bigger Contribution to Our World, Greece or Rome. She debated in favor of Rome while Stephen Fry, in favor of Greece. Ms. Mary won!
Yes same and since I have an ancient welsh name it even more intrigued. The ancient romans invaded where ny family is from and there is even streets their laid by them I've walked over lol
I Love the way Mary orders her thoughts and presents very complex history as though it were just a normal conversation. This is a rare talent. It inspires a student to then go learn all the details they can. She has given a framework for further learning. I think she is one of the greatest teachers of her time. She reminds me of the great Physiologists Arthur Guyton (no physician has published more work than him, at one point 70% of all Chairmen of USA Physiology departments trained under him). He was a kindly, sensitive old genius. that quietly inspired you to go devour as much knowledge as you could. Mary seems to have all those delightful gifts, so humble, so magnificent, she is.
I think she's quite the opposite, one of the most annoying and unprofessional history hosts. Maybe she's great in the class with her pupils (doubt it) but does really poor job presenting her knowledge in front of the camera. I don't know maybe if I was still a kid in the elementary school I'd like her more like as kids tends to like all the oddball bad hair teacher types.
you might also like Joanne Fletcher (Egyptology), she has a very similar approach and clearly loves her subject. Janina Ramirez and Lucy Worsley are also brilliant on British History. What they all have in common is that great skill of bringing history to life and making you feel like you're talking to a friend, with maybe a little scandal and gossip mixed in. You get a real understanding from them all about what ordinary people's lives were really like, as well as the most prominent historical figures.
I was completely captivated by this documentary. Mary's presentation was flawless and her understanding of the subject, superb. As a teacher, I could see how much she loved her subject, especially when she stretched out on the ground at the foot of a statute for a better perspective. Mary's comprehensive presentation has opened my eyes to history that I thought I hated! I just toured Rome and 6 countries in August and I WANT MORE! I sincerely thank you for this documentary!
My wife is Italian. For our honeymoon we went to Italy, right around the time that the "this is my Roman Empire" memes cropped up. At this same time I was reading Mary's "SPQR"....I figured this would be a great way to tie it all off with a bow, and it did not disappoint.....wow.
I don't know the reason for my obsession with ancient Roman civilization. I think it's something very deep that happens inside many people like me. What's more beautiful is that we share the same love for Rome, but we differ in countries and languages. It's really beautiful. I hope we can all meet to talk about our experiences with this eternal story.
Honestly, I think a lot about history and historical cultures and societies. Sometimes Rome, more often medieval Europe, revolutionary America etc. Although I'm thinking I should start paying more attention to Rome lol
My new modern-day heroine is Mary Beard. Mary and the unseen team have done an astounding job on this series. I'm about to be a total history addict once more after a long hiatus.
As an American obsessed with world history of all ages, you Brits sure do have some OUTSTANDING crews of archeologists, historians, narrators, and presenters. Add Ms. Beard to that list, you can feel her passion as she speaks, and her understanding of Latin is top.
But at 2:04 she is insulting your country and it's way of life from a perspective that has a slanted view of regret for having to rely on its allies to save its crumbling island.
@@laurahamer9165She is another Radical Left Socialist who hates America and loves their current illegitimate government. The entire world knows that the 2020 election in America was stolen. Scary times!
@@dylanherron3963The radical left in the United States are destroying the American dream. They’ve Stolen power in the US, Brazil, Spain and numerous other countries. The Left is an evil force that threatens freedom everywhere.
@@laurahamer9165it’s not an insult tbh, it’s a fact. The American dream is literally propaganda. It’s a fallacy. So she is correct in saying that only a few get the American dream.
I love how they use no special effects and movies to "show" us what was happening. They just show everything as it is today. The sceneries, artifacts, etc. It's like they want us to imagine and reconstruct the empire in our own head and imaginations!
I took Latin for 4 years and Marys knowledge of Latin really impresses me. At the tomb of Augustus she accurately pointed to what words conveyed what English message and it was very impressive.
Mary, through the years you have gotten a niche in my life and heart I must say. I absolutely adore your presentations, your acute mind, your wonderful wit, your crass language that sometimes seems to be the closest description of what you are talking about, your incredible knowledge, your humbleness, what a joy you are! Thank you for all your efforts and research, you, and Sir David Attenborough are the real Jewels of the British crown! From a faithful admirer in Germany.
AHEM!!.... Get a Room?? Although I Assume She May Be Already Taken. considering she's at that ripe age where she is most likely to have a Boyfriend ... or at least she must be Dating someone exclusively. 😁😇
@@Jizvarn AHEM!!.... I think our minds and intentions are in two very different places. I don't asume she is taken, I KNOW she has been married for many years to another brilliant historian...I asume you are desperately in need of something that has little to do with ancient history, so my advice would be for you to start looking for a room ASAP... 😁😁😁😁😁
I'm shocked I made it through this entire thing!!! I'm so thankful I did & it was worth every minute. My curiosity of history has never included Rome & the Romans and I've actively avoided it but I'm not sure why. Maybe because I attended a private Christian school until high school and I was raised pentacostal, so I've wrongly felt that my "Bible knowledge" was sufficient. This is the very first real historian I've ever taken the time to watch on this subject matter and now I have a new rabbit hole to go down. I did learn about Hadrian's wall in England years ago and that's on my bucket list but not until watching this has my interest in Roman history ever been sparked. Thank you! Teaching is such a gift and Mary certainly excels at her delivery. It's fascinating to see the places this took her. Thank you again for your priceless gift of knowledge.

This documentary series on the complete history of the Roman Empire is truly remarkable. The depth and breadth of information covered is impressive, providing a comprehensive understanding of the empire's rise, achievements, and eventual decline. The production quality is top-notch, and the narration is engaging, making it a captivating viewing experience. Kudos to the creators for delivering such an informative and visually stunning series.
Mary made their history so grounded and ordinary, I found myself among truly them. I wondered about the changing of the Roman world as if it were the present one, and I cannot un-see the parallels. These scenes, which played out on the screen, thus came to life in my mind. Not only did I see the environment, but the mindset of Rome. Rome, truly, was and is the culmination of an empire. Extraordinary work; everyone who made this a reality! It was not built in a day.
I come back to this series every now again just to enjoy Mary Beards delightfully in touch and down to earth presentation of Rome. As human as we are now, oh so barely any different.
I have been to Tunisia 🇹🇳 and seen the Roman remains, the Arena, and an old foundation settlement, the Roman Mosaic are fascinating because some of the details correspond with computer programs and that suggest the Romans being more advanced than how we imagine their civilization could have been. We spent a full day with the tour guides as an exclusion and glad we did. The Arena is cluster of tunnels with gateway, and being there can imagine the furious animals treading through these tunnels making their way to the main court of the Arena and there are claw marks imprinted in the stone and it must have been terrifying for the participant.. really was an experience. Love watching these documentaries ❤
I am absolutely captivated by this video. We're using it for our homeschool curriculum today. Mary's sheer joy and excitement is such a beautiful treat. I love her beautiful spirit. What a wonderful speaker.
Omg, Mary Beard. I loved SPQR, and I love ancient history. After Colleen McCullough, Mary Beard brings ancient Rome to life in her writing. High recommend anyone watching this actually buy the book!
I owe a huge thanks to her, as well as Time Team original series, the way they make the history so enthralling, viberant and exiting they brought out a hidden passion in me and I'm now in process of a career change!!
That's excellent,, 👍 having a job is ok but doing a career involving expansion of inquisitive interest is vital to the progress of the human race... It's not that careers in historical education and sociological research are necessary to produce food or work in a factory but *the flow of inquisitive interest is absolutely necessary to uplift culture and make social and industrial progress possible...*
Me and my dad would watch time team every night we loved it! Majority of it was just British history😂we have so so much and like Tony Robinson said “you only need to scratch the surface to reveal British history” I love my country and my people and their history, it’s just a shame that’s all slipping away now our lane given away to others who don’t like our history and people and it’s a common thing to hate on white history and Christian’s
How astonishing and thrilling to visit these historical, nay legendary sites (Troy, for instance). This is a magnificent tour from an authority and adventurer that we can relate to as she takes us through the essential origins of European civilization. I studied Latin in high school in Canada; how odd that an ancient and glorious civilization should have such a long arm to reach into the 20th Century and prod me to look back in awe. I am most grateful for this presentation, Mary. Romae adhuc vivit.
It would be so amazing to go back in time during the Pax Romana and walk around the city as an observer. See and hear the people as they actually were. Wow.
one of these days you may be able to do that - I am an historian (Late Eastern Empire/Byzantine period) and also a multi media developer. I am working on an AI simulation project that would provide "total immersion" in a desired historical period. One of the sensory areas I am most involved with is trying to simulate olfactory and taste bud experiences. That is quite a challenge but also, in my opinion, essential to recreating a convincing simulation. Imagine walking the streets of Ostia back in 120 CE, smelling the aroma of bread baking, the fish market, wood fires, animal dung, spices, tree and flower blossoms, leather, smelting exhaust, all of it blending into a distinctive "city" aroma.
@@honoriussoularians1887if you ever complete it please come back to this comment and let me know I would love to check it out! If you can please do Britain in medieval times too British history is massive it would be amazing for people to see what our land was like
I've read over Beard's book SPQR several times over the past few years, and I just stumbled across this documentary. I'm a big fan of how she presents information and this was a great listen. This rules!!!!
Mary Beard is fantastic, I’ve been watching everything I can find with her in it lol. She draws my attention, which is difficult when I’m trying to watch and learn things like this.
And human nature is the enforcer of the wheel of time, shouldn't our ways make themselves repeat history? For they are but the trigger of our path. @@ominous-omnipresent-they
@@laisphinto6372 ❤ Reincarnation is real. It is spoken about throughout all religious texts. The teachings of reincarnation were suppressed, especially in the West. Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah.

She REALLY knows what she is talking about and that comes through. There are people who parrot by rote what the books say, and then people who REALLY know. That goes for every subject under the sun, and you can tell when someone is in the latter category.
Most definitely my favorite out of all the documentaries that are called "The Complete History Of The Roman Empire | Empire Without Limit (Full Series)"

My Latin teacher in high school was very similar to Mary Long silvery white hair. Would wear these long black flowing gowns Gravitas in her voice, especially when speaking Latin in a way that made me feel she was a native Roman, a secret 3000 year old vampire Always gave me shivers when I listened to her read the Aeneid Beautiful
I always enjoy Mary Treebeard's version of Roman life and locations more than any other. She is funny and we often learn more when it's funny, or just easy to follow. God bless Mary and all who sail in her.
Love her presentation. Her dedication to her craft and her smile are beyond engaging. And her knowledge is encyclopedic. She's simply awesome. Her voice has a very soothing nature too making you want to listen to her more. LOVE this. One of the best things I've done on a Saturday night watching the whole thing with a cold beer and snacks and a great dinner all while watching this entire video. Ms Mary is simply wonderful.
Those 4 Hours just flew by! im really impressed by how well Mary had me hooked on this video without a break. Thank you so much for this! time to see the other videos 🤩
As a direct descendant of Romulus, I approve of this video. You have done my family a great service by sharing our history with people that may have never heard of us and how important Rome is to the world's history and the world we live in today. My family shaped the world that you all know today. You are appreciated. The Gods bless you and your line.
Mary's enthusiasm for history is contagious and her knowledge is impressive,, just reading local Latin off ancient walls and signs... I'd pay HER to be on the location crew... to be looking at these sites with a guide who knows what we're looking at would make for an unbelievably cool experience,, and Mary's excitement and humor would make the trip sublime...💯
Imagine having Mary as your one on one private tour guide, what a dream she would be, best teacher ever. I only go on historical walk guide world travels, not interested in sitting on a beach or hotel pool, I want history and stories and learning from amazing historians and archaeologists ❤
So sick to think that being a slave was not so bad, when I look at Rome I do not see what some of us travel from all around the world on vacation to see, I see the sweat blood and tears of people working their fingers to the bone to build, Plant and serve their mostly wicked masters who all lived like gods, they did not have cars so they were even carried around by slaves from one place to another, These lazy men did not build anything, they only gave orders by the whip and sword, I doubt if they even have the knowledge to engineer anything of good use. Read about Moses in Egypt, I think about Moses in Rome, would more fit the narrative
one of the best documentaries I've ever seen! Congrats to the whole team who did all this work and above all: Thank you! The best side of what the internet has to offer: Sharing Knowledge.
Oh my, Mary Beard! She literally wrote the book on Roman History. Literally. "SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome." I'm reading it right as I'm watching this wonderful documentary.
It’s through the fascinating work of historians like Mary that I come to appreciate history, particularly ancient Roman history. Very informative and makes me want to travel and visit some of these places.
👋👍👋👍👋👍I was completely enthralled by 'Empire Without Limit'! This comprehensive series on the history of the Roman Empire provided a fascinating and educational journey through one of the most influential civilizations in history.
The best Roman documentaries make me feel a connection to the parallels here in modern day America. The fact that the basic template for our cities is a modern evolution of the Roman city, and so on. This documentary does that.
This will be my 4th time watching this. I love her passion..if all history teachers taught like her and Ms. Joann fletcher, i would’ve been brilliant in class. I had a social studies/American history teacher who sat on the edge of his desk and spoke with his eyes closed, in a monotone voice the whole time. He damn near put himself to sleep, how the hell was I, an active 12 year old child, supposed to pass that class?? I fell asleep, too! Lol
This is wonderful! I have never known much about Romes beginnings and how it came to grow and become what we think of today, other than the story about Romulus and Remus. So this is really fascinating, thank you so much and Mary is an amazing host and presenter, among the best without a doubt.

I’ve been in Rome for 2 days and it’s just completely unbelievable and surreal what went on here and the history of it all .
I've heard that you need at least a week in Rome alone. Enjoy and be safe! It's a scary world right now.
People I know who’ve been say they were in wonder at how much ancient architecture, statuary and the like has survived.
Did you find this, too?
I was there for 4 days and I missed a lot. Will go again for 6/7 days to catch what I missed.

Mary made their history so grounded and ordinary, I found myself among truly them. I wondered about the changing of the Roman world as if it were the present one, and I cannot un-see the parallels. These scenes, which played out on the screen, thus came to life in my mind. Not only did I see the environment, but the mindset of Rome.
Rome, truly, was and is the culmination of an empire.
Extraordinary work; everyone who made this a reality! It was not built in a day.
lol that is why its Italy and not Rome they invaded Roma now Italy
I fall asleep to youtube nightly. This waa so good, it woke me from my sleep at 4 am. Mary is a mixture of brilliance and enthusiasm.
Mary Beard is up there as one of the finest scholars of the Roman Empire. Great series!
I come back to this series every now again just to enjoy Mary Beards delightfully in touch and down to earth presentation of Rome. As human as we are now, oh so barely any different.
I have been to Tunisia 🇹🇳 and seen the Roman remains, the Arena, and an old foundation settlement, the Roman Mosaic are fascinating because some of the details correspond with computer programs and that suggest the Romans being more advanced than how we imagine their civilization could have been. We spent a full day with the tour guides as an exclusion and glad we did. The Arena is cluster of tunnels with gateway, and being there can imagine the furious animals treading through these tunnels making their way to the main court of the Arena and there are claw marks imprinted in the stone and it must have been terrifying for the participant.. really was an experience. Love watching these documentaries ❤
*The amount of research and traveling done by professor Mary Beard is absolutely remarkable and much appreciated!* *Thank You!*
I am absolutely captivated by this video. We're using it for our homeschool curriculum today. Mary's sheer joy and excitement is such a beautiful treat. I love her beautiful spirit. What a wonderful speaker.
Omg, Mary Beard. I loved SPQR, and I love ancient history. After Colleen McCullough, Mary Beard brings ancient Rome to life in her writing. High recommend anyone watching this actually buy the book!
I owe a huge thanks to her, as well as Time Team original series, the way they make the history so enthralling, viberant and exiting they brought out a hidden passion in me and I'm now in process of a career change!!
That's excellent,, 👍 having a job is ok but doing a career involving expansion of inquisitive interest is vital to the progress of the human race... It's not that careers in historical education and sociological research are necessary to produce food or work in a factory but *the flow of inquisitive interest is absolutely necessary to uplift culture and make social and industrial progress possible...*
Me and my dad would watch time team every night we loved it! Majority of it was just British history😂we have so so much and like Tony Robinson said “you only need to scratch the surface to reveal British history” I love my country and my people and their history, it’s just a shame that’s all slipping away now our lane given away to others who don’t like our history and people and it’s a common thing to hate on white history and Christian’s
How astonishing and thrilling to visit these historical, nay legendary sites (Troy, for instance). This is a magnificent tour from an authority and adventurer that we can relate to as she takes us through the essential origins of European civilization. I studied Latin in high school in Canada; how odd that an ancient and glorious civilization should have such a long arm to reach into the 20th Century and prod me to look back in awe. I am most grateful for this presentation, Mary. Romae adhuc vivit.
I love listening to Mary 😊 if she were to do a podcast with guests about her vast knowledge I'd listen to it immediately.
Zå. Zzp zzhg😊i😊7p.😊 😊
I love Mary Beard! I admire her profound knowledge and find her efforts to make it accessible to the general public truly commendable
The definitive resource for the most realistic and logical history of Rome.
Outstanding work.
It would be so amazing to go back in time during the Pax Romana and walk around the city as an observer. See and hear the people as they actually were. Wow.
one of these days you may be able to do that - I am an historian (Late Eastern Empire/Byzantine period) and also a multi media developer. I am working on an AI simulation project that would provide "total immersion" in a desired historical period. One of the sensory areas I am most involved with is trying to simulate olfactory and taste bud experiences. That is quite a challenge but also, in my opinion, essential to recreating a convincing simulation. Imagine walking the streets of Ostia back in 120 CE, smelling the aroma of bread baking, the fish market, wood fires, animal dung, spices, tree and flower blossoms, leather, smelting exhaust, all of it blending into a distinctive "city" aroma.
@@honoriussoularians1887 sounds very interesting! I would love to experience that. Best of luck to you.
@@honoriussoularians1887if you ever complete it please come back to this comment and let me know I would love to check it out! If you can please do Britain in medieval times too British history is massive it would be amazing for people to see what our land was like
I can't believe these are on RUclips for free. What a cool video!
How exciting her classes must have been. Her passion is contagious! This is when someone loves what they are doing

Mary is our ambassadress to Ancient Rome! Loving every moment of this documentary on a muggy, ‘monsoon-day’ of a Sunday in Manila!
This brilliant woman is the queen of Ancient Rome, her narrative and translation is a gift to us.
Ms. Mary has a riveting mastery of the subject. Kudos to her marvelous team
Mary Beard is a legend! Amazing story telling and really, exciting! Listening to her makes me feel excited too. Grabe, isang alamat na propesor. Wow!
Quite often I am thinking about the Roman Empire
I've read over Beard's book SPQR several times over the past few years, and I just stumbled across this documentary. I'm a big fan of how she presents information and this was a great listen. This rules!!!!
Mary Beard is fantastic, I’ve been watching everything I can find with her in it lol. She draws my attention, which is difficult when I’m trying to watch and learn things like this.
I loved how you could tell she was excited to present this documentary
I really enjoyed it!
Ary is cool but the Romans were pigs and Mary fails to mention to any degree the horrors they brought up on the world
Thank you for sharing. Never underestimate history. You might experience it again in another form.
It's not history that repeats; it's human nature.
@@ominous-omnipresent-they History is the best teacher about human nature
And human nature is the enforcer of the wheel of time, shouldn't our ways make themselves repeat history? For they are but the trigger of our path. @@ominous-omnipresent-they
I love her energy & how she brings history to life.
its like she is an elder who tells the oral story to us young people
@@laisphinto6372 ❤ Reincarnation is real. It is spoken about throughout all religious texts. The teachings of reincarnation were suppressed, especially in the West. Jesus of Nazareth was the Messiah. The Messiah reincarnated in 1971 to try to save humanity. Julian Assange is the Messiah, Jesus of Nazareth reincarnated. Julian exposed the lies and deception of the world governments via Wikileaks. Julian also exposed the killing and destruction of the Muslim/Arabic world and its inhabitants by the Western governments. The Romans and Jews are once again attempting to crucify our Messiah, and again, our hands are tied, and we are being prevented from stopping his crucifixion. Reread the Wikileaks drops and learn about Julian, it will become very clear to you what is taking place. The war in Gaza between the Palestinians and the Zionists was predicted and exposed before it even started (and has been ongoing for many years with the help of the West). So yes, to answer the question, the second coming of Christ is happening and has been since 2012 when Julian Assange went into the Ecuadorian Embassy in the UK.
The leaders of the Western world governments are collectively The Antichrists/ ad-Dajjal☯️✝️☦️☪️✡️🤲🙌
She REALLY knows what she is talking about and that comes through. There are people who parrot by rote what the books say, and then people who REALLY know. That goes for every subject under the sun, and you can tell when someone is in the latter category.
Most definitely my favorite out of all the documentaries that are called "The Complete History Of The Roman Empire | Empire Without Limit (Full Series)"
She is totally amazing. I could listen to hear all day for the rest of my life 😁
This historian is really good, she speaks very clearly!
Mary is the bomb! 👊 This is the best documentary about Ancient Rome. Awesome!

@@LynetteBishop-v9kOh boy. Sure, whatever.
Mary's Roman documentarys are fantastic! Afterall she certainly has first hand experience😅😅😅. Kidding aside, shes the best of the history presenters!
The only 4 hours video I've watched on youtube ! Just amazing , she described rome in every way ... Loved it ❤️
i dont know what i fell asleep to but this is what i woke up to.
Her smiling love of her subject is very infectious! Super documentary. Thank you!
My Latin teacher in high school was very similar to Mary
Long silvery white hair. Would wear these long black flowing gowns
Gravitas in her voice, especially when speaking Latin in a way that made me feel she was a native Roman, a secret 3000 year old vampire
Always gave me shivers when I listened to her read the Aeneid
Beautiful
I can almost see your teacher...Great discrimination of a great memory
Back when actually taught Latin and classics in high school. I would have loved to have that option in school
I always enjoy Mary Treebeard's version of Roman life and locations more than any other. She is funny and we often learn more when it's funny, or just easy to follow. God bless Mary and all who sail in her.
M. L ❤
Mary Beard what a Fabilous Teacher ! Absolutly everypart of history comes alive ! if your hungy for the story of History this will not disapoint !
SHE BRINGS HISTORY TO LIFE TAKING US BACK IN HISTORY EXCELLENT REPRESENTATION WELL DONE BRAVO !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love her presentation. Her dedication to her craft and her smile are beyond engaging. And her knowledge is encyclopedic. She's simply awesome. Her voice has a very soothing nature too making you want to listen to her more. LOVE this. One of the best things I've done on a Saturday night watching the whole thing with a cold beer and snacks and a great dinner all while watching this entire video. Ms Mary is simply wonderful.
It's just fabulous. A brief rundown that may begin a new rabbit hole excursion for me. Thank you!
Mary describing how to use a pick and a chisel...."You had to be really strong.." Adorable!
Those 4 Hours just flew by!
im really impressed by how well Mary had me hooked on this video without a break.
Thank you so much for this! time to see the other videos 🤩
Her charisma, story telling, recollection and articulation is simply unreal. Mary is a LEGEND!!!
As a direct descendant of Romulus, I approve of this video. You have done my family a great service by sharing our history with people that may have never heard of us and how important Rome is to the world's history and the world we live in today. My family shaped the world that you all know today. You are appreciated. The Gods bless you and your line.
😂 Nice 👍
😮😂
Yeh. Sure you are.
Which part of America are you from? How many descendants to you have from IARELEND. You yanks are bleedin melts
High on drugs 😂😂😂
Mary's enthusiasm for history is contagious and her knowledge is impressive,, just reading local Latin off ancient walls and signs... I'd pay HER to be on the location crew... to be looking at these sites with a guide who knows what we're looking at would make for an unbelievably cool experience,, and Mary's excitement and humor would make the trip sublime...💯
It has been an honour to have listened to a great speaker a historian and a wise lady she is I must say. Thank you for the video ❤
Imagine having Mary as your one on one private tour guide, what a dream she would be, best teacher ever. I only go on historical walk guide world travels, not interested in sitting on a beach or hotel pool, I want history and stories and learning from amazing historians and archaeologists ❤
YAY! Mary is amazing!❤
Word
Is that her name? She really brings stuff to life man. A good teacher
So sick to think that being a slave was not so bad, when I look at Rome I do not see what some of us travel from all around the world on vacation to see, I see the sweat blood and tears of people working their fingers to the bone to build, Plant and serve their mostly wicked masters who all lived like gods, they did not have cars so they were even carried around by slaves from one place to another, These lazy men did not build anything, they only gave orders by the whip and sword, I doubt if they even have the knowledge to engineer anything of good use. Read about Moses in Egypt, I think about Moses in Rome, would more fit the narrative
Mary B is a gift! Love her presentation and her deep knowledge that backs it up!
Mary reminds me of a Roman grandmother that just invites you in and shares all of its history with us as if we are now Romans too! So captivating!
one of the best documentaries I've ever seen! Congrats to the whole team who did all this work and above all: Thank you!
The best side of what the internet has to offer: Sharing Knowledge.
No need for fancy animation, the narrator explain the story very well, easier for us to imagine.
Oh my, Mary Beard! She literally wrote the book on Roman History. Literally. "SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome." I'm reading it right as I'm watching this wonderful documentary.
what is this comment supposed to mean? congrats for reading her wkipedia article
@@jessebeegee they're just saying she wrote a book and said they were reading it?
Awesome...soooo glad this was so long...I can listen to Mary for hours ❤
I think about this once a week! Great stuff
I like the narrator, Mary, she puts passion and energy in this documentary 👍
It’s through the fascinating work of historians like Mary that I come to appreciate history, particularly ancient Roman history. Very informative and makes me want to travel and visit some of these places.
See rcz as a su I
Was versteht man unter Zapfenstreich?
👋👍👋👍👋👍I was completely enthralled by 'Empire Without Limit'! This comprehensive series on the history of the Roman Empire provided a fascinating and educational journey through one of the most influential civilizations in history.
Stunning. Thank you, Professor Beard.
*Was not expecting to be enthralled throughout this entire documentary.*
*Absolutely and endlessly fascinating!* ❤️
Oh wow, one of the best 4hrs on RUclips. Thank you Mary and Odyssey
i watched it all, all of it, every second and sound, thank you.
I’m watching every second of this for the bit
Mary is one of the best historians ever. Mary i salute you ✋
The best Roman documentaries make me feel a connection to the parallels here in modern day America. The fact that the basic template for our cities is a modern evolution of the Roman city, and so on. This documentary does that.
Love these, A true inspiration to small history youtubers like myself
This will be my 4th time watching this. I love her passion..if all history teachers taught like her and Ms. Joann fletcher, i would’ve been brilliant in class.
I had a social studies/American history teacher who sat on the edge of his desk and spoke with his eyes closed, in a monotone voice the whole time. He damn near put himself to sleep, how the hell was I, an active 12 year old child, supposed to pass that class??
I fell asleep, too! Lol
have you watched "Civilizations" (2018 docuseries)? She is in some of the episodes...it's SO good.
This is wonderful! I have never known much about Romes beginnings and how it came to grow and become what we think of today, other than the story about Romulus and Remus. So this is really fascinating, thank you so much and Mary is an amazing host and presenter, among the best without a doubt.
lol that is why its Italy and not Rome they invaded Roma now Italy
😊
😊
I think about the Roman Empire a lot. So, this epic documentary is an absolute gift. Superb 💯
It's so great, I've never finished watching such a long historical movie
man will literally watch this over and over again instead of going to the therapy
My compliments on an excellent video, really nicely researched, thanks.
