Hey guys! Thank you all for sticking with us through our multiple episodes covering the Pax Romana period of the Roman Empire. We know this phase of history might have felt a bit slower at times but it's a vital part of the Roman story, filled with peace , prosperity, and stability. We will add 2 extra episodes that will be part of this period (hint: it’s about Britain). However, the tides are about to change! With the end of this episode we're entering a new chapter-the beginning of the end for the Roman Empire. So, get ready , because the drama, challenges, and chaos of Rome's decline are about to unfold in the next months...

@gregoiredefloris7286 He was advancing with his huge army in Persia, but he withdrew with the whole army and went to fight the Jewish revolutionaries. Then why didn’t he choose any general from among his people to fight the Jewish revolutionaries instead of taking the whole army and withdrawing?
Avidius Cassius actually acted at the behest of Aurelius's wife, Faustina. The emperor, Marcus Aurelius had fallen seriously ill and no one, (including his doctors) expected him to survive. Faustina fearing for the lives of her children, (Commodus was still too young to take the purple) asked Avidius in Syria to declare himself emperor and march on Rome. She distrusted her husband's other generals and believed that the man based in the Levant would make a pliable puppet. Her plan backfired when Aurelius made a miraculous recovery and Cassius subsequently became an embarrassment. He was conveniently killed by a centurion in Egypt, (he was stabbed to death). Dispatched before he could tell his side of the story and expose the treachery of Faustina.
Really sucks we don't know much about antoninus he ruled for quite a long time and seems rather interesting. It's like a black hole in history of Roman empire!
No matter the crisis or wellbeing, Romans were always rocking and giving their full potential no matter the circumstances, through all of their history, from 753 BCE to the mere end in 476 CE
The nomination of Commodus was a disgrace, that's for sure, but it's not the only cause of the delcine. Rome never had a clear system for the succession. That, together with the growth of the army and the decrease of power of the senate, would cause the military anarchy in any case: it was just a matter of time.
Pax Romana the Roman Peace died with the death of the last of the five Good Emperor of Rome Marcus Aurelius stoic Philosopher wrote his personal diary not meant to be published The Meditations. Watch the movie Gladiator it is during Emperor Marcus Aurelius time around 180AD when he died quenching and calming Germanic tribes revolts for 20 long years campaign in Germania where he died! K
Iberia (Kartli) was not vessel of rome it was independent and controled Colchies also fought rome over Armenia, Roman emperor Hadrian even offered gifts to Iberia King Pharasmanes II, he even visited rome as a honorable guest
it wasn't independent it changed hands between persian and romans as a vessel and client state many times, basically a whore state throughout its 200 year history.
We’ve passed that. You could make the argument that Clinton was good (even if he is a predator), Bush and Obama were terrible war mongers who didn’t care about the country, Trump was like Justinian (attempting to restore what had been), Biden can’t even string a sentence together.
Crrimea at the time had been inhabited by Greeks for ~1000 years and was a very advanced society that produced a lot of grain which it exported in other Greek cities. It was part of the Greek world, not heavily militarized and therefor it was easy to absorb in the empire.
I'm just wondering why Marcus Aurelius, a stoic philosopher and great thinker, could have chosen his son Commodus as his heir. It seems so out of character for him to have chosen his own reckless child, rather than an equally stoic and visionary citizen, to succeed him.

Map is not corect. Borders in Dacia is not correct for 117. Roman control in Trajan's time was mach bigger. Caucazian Albania was not Parthian vasal. In 117 roman legion 1st Minerva was mentioned ther.

Okay
Thanks for the Roman content. I enjoy them.
You live in Romania?

Hadrian: im The Emperor now
the Senate: ok.
At least he didn’t say he’s the Senate
Concuering Armenia and colonization of it , without upgrading its defense and army led to fall of Roman and later Byzantine empires.
Armenians: We are the first Christians, but damn the Persians are merciful to us and they are pagans, but we will join them lol
As a Persian, I just LOVE my country and its remarkable history. It's kinda like a GOT series but it's way more entertaining and it's also real.
are u iranian?
Turns out the real Roman Empire was the freinds we made along the way ❤
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

“Here the romans started to colapse” bro the roman empire fell in 1453 not 476 😅
That was the Byzantine Empire, stop trying to distort history with bs like this!

He's just referring to the state of the unified Roman Empire, later WRE.
@@malgusvitiate7002 no rome.
He said started. It's a slow painful fall from here on out.
A collection of great individuals
Thank you very much for the video. There might be a midtake at the wnd as Marcus Aurelius didn't die un Carnuntum, but possibly Vindobana.
07:18 well, gentleman, here comes our guy
Ah, before the "Crisis of the Third Century."
Trajan is the only good emperor among these 5. & Hadrian allowed the Parthians to recover instead of nailing their coffin.
You mean he lost and pretended to win and withdrew like a loser?
@@عليياسر-ك9ظ who do you refer to ?
@gregoiredefloris7286 He was advancing with his huge army in Persia, but he withdrew with the whole army and went to fight the Jewish revolutionaries. Then why didn’t he choose any general from among his people to fight the Jewish revolutionaries instead of taking the whole army and withdrawing?
@@عليياسر-ك9ظ as mentioned, Hadrian is a bad ruler, the way was due in 117 not later

Cada uno de ellos se merece su propio video
Marcus was wise why did he allow his son to become emperor he should have taught his son emperors are not gladiators
Commodus had Marcus murdered, or so I read/heard in one account.
@@Christmas_Spirit-mt4nu he got assasinated
But aren’t we supposed to be entertain
@@Christmas_Spirit-mt4nu marcus aurelius didnt murdered by commodus. commodus is the one who got assassinated

Rome is proof that nothing good lasts forever
Define *”Good”*
Paganism is not good .
😑😑😑😑😑
@@thomasdonovan3580 Robust. Amazing. Near perfect.
based Hadrian doesn't want children to get mutilated
Maybe commodus was Lucius son and not Marcus....😅
Hadrian my favorite Roman Emperor
Am I the only one who irritates when people in US start to compare their country with mighty Romans?
Didn't during Aurelius time Roman Empire left Romanian lands because of germanic tribes to the Danube line once again?
just like usa now❤
Parthia was almost same border as a modern day Iran 🇮🇷 at the beginning 😅

Marcus Aurelius' biggest mistake in life was appointing his own son.

I think we are experiencing this again.
How?
USA rein @@sebastian-benedictflore
The US is not Rome. More like Carthage.
@@jeanmugisha4175 again, how?
The US is at the end of 5 good emperors without realizing it.
We at the dawn of the American empire /end of Republic actually
More like the end of the republican period

Biden was the Commodus for US
Nah we waiting for our Julius and Augustus yet.

Anyone able to tell me how Rome got part of Crimea. Or which clip I can find out in?
Thank you
Crrimea at the time had been inhabited by Greeks for ~1000 years and was a very advanced society that produced a lot of grain which it exported in other Greek cities. It was part of the Greek world, not heavily militarized and therefor it was easy to absorb in the empire.
Hadrian viewing male circumcision as mutilation seems oddly progressive
The Romans seem to love the Middle East. 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Jews fought for their right to mutilation!

that's why empires fail as spectacularly as they rise...

Why is Albania in the caucuses
because that's where they used to live at the time
The Ottomans thought it looked nicer over there.
Different Albania, just how there was also an Iberian Kingdom around modern day Georgia.
