How did the young, wealthy women of Ancient Rome spend their days? Meet Domitia and her sister Domitia and her sister Domitia and her sister Domitia. Ray Laurence sketches the domestic life of leisure that these young girls lived, despite little recorded information on women from this otherwise well-documented era.
Lesson by Ray Laurence, animation by Cognitive Media.
Romans: give girls the same name
Romans: can’t tell aunts from sisters and wives on the family tree
Romans: *suprised pikachu face*

Mood 😂
Cookiesaregreat :3 ahhahahahahah
I did too in kindergarten and elementary school. Boys will tease girls, even bully us. Better steer clear, or be ready to brawl.
not really a mood since it’s not like they have other options but to go when the men aren’t around
@@aiko9393 not like boys get that 10 times worse from girls, because they are taught not to fight back. It's not a valid reason to ditch one gender because of 3 people
@@Jacksiloution Dude, I did brawl with some boys in kindergarten and elementary school. They didn't fight back, they started the fight. A simple "hey, cut it out!" from the girls would result in more pushing, poking, hair pulling, and skirt lifting. No way I'd just leave if my girl friends were bullied. Would be nice if they don't tease or bully the girls in the first place.
What did the girls do to 'deserve' that? Play with blocks, dolls, or swings; read books; walk past them; heck, even just sit around without a teacher watching us may result in bullying.
Things were better from middle school up tho.
I am glad that now girls have more rights like being able to have different names
buchner funnel is your soul purpose to respond to every comment with that? Did you come to this video just to comment that? Stop
um... do have to involve muslims in everything ? :)
buchner, wtf man?
buchner funnel, different Christian sects treat women just as badly. Religion is never kind to women.
Stop. Don't say "Well Christians do it too"
No. Its bad, it doesn't matter if others do it and yes we need to raise awareness and show our support to Middle Easterners who want change
Honestly the whole Domitia, Domitia and Domitia problem is just like the problem of which kardashion is which.
Not exactly. One group share a name, the other group share a brain cell.

@@totalhufflepuff203 love your name
it's a sad thing when your life is better than a greek woman's because you're actually allowed to leave the house.
Ashley L, well, it depends on the city state in Greece.
For instance, In Sparta, the Greek women did a whole lot more; as most of the males were out and about in the military (as was the SPARTA! way). They even allowed women to do some business dealings. Which would have been anathema in other areas.
I mean...It's 2019 we can go out now...
macibiob, islam allow women to do business 1400 years ago, and made them inherit from their father and mother and own propriety or business.. while pre islamic pagan arabs t did not allow it, ..while In America until the 1960s women can not open bank account without their husband approval, do your research. one thing is local customs of some rural villages another is the religion of Islam.
Zofka Elizabeth not ‘modern Islam’ Islam ALWAYS gave rights to women.
Maciblob Micsurlift honey please! I can see that you haven’t read the Quran and don’t a single thing about actual Islam. People might be bad with women , but Islam gives them rights! More then men actually. Do your homework .
Domitia, Domitia, and Domitia.
My favorite is Domitia. No, not that Domitia, the other one, with the D in the name. You know, the one with the eyes and ears? That Domitia.
The one with the strawberry blonde hair?
Natalie Kelemen No! The other one
That one Domitia with one single eyebrow, right?
No guys! There talking about Domita not Domita or Domita! I prefer Domita more tho.
She sucks!
MY favorite one is the breathing Domitia.
"confused? the Rome were too" LMAOOO
Dad: "LUCIUS DOMITUS AHENOBARBUS, did u break the vase??
Lucius: " It wasn't me, it was DOMITIA!"

That's Nero's birth name, in case many of you didn't know.
@masterofthecourt en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero
Ancient Rome was Great! If you as long as you weren't a slave, or poor, or a woman, or a Northern European, or a Christian, or....
As long as you weren't anything other then a rich white man...
Well I'm a Northern European so... They hate me :)
Chad Hrenko lt was great! You are a fool not to believe it
Chad Hrenko
Well, compared to other civilizations at the time...
Except when the Emperor of Rome converted to Christianity and made it the state religion
If possible, we need a video which concentrates on the poorer part of Ancient Rome.
Epic Person Yeah, these videos are really interesting! I would love to continue seeing from a number of different points of view.
Epic Person An interesting aspect that I heard about recently was that upper class Romans typically spoke Greek to each other, while Latin was the language of the common folk.
They could do video about the life of a Roman teacher or civil servant, for example .
+Ahuc899 Depends on the time period, but even upper class Romans conferred in Latin in Cicero's time, although they would also have known Greek and even conversed in it.
+Ahuc899 It was the same in England, for centuries the aristocracy spoke French, the commoners English. I guess it's a good way to mark out class division.

I love these "A day in a life" series!
I also imagine that they are all the same soul. Living a life in one episode, then re-incarnating in the next video. Well, except this one (coz both were during the ancient rome)
Why tell the story of Pollio and leave out the best part? Pollio was a cruel master and was going to have his slave killed for breaking a dish, but Augustus interceded, protected the slave, and had all of Pollio's dishes broken.
becuz the title is about the 4 daughters?
@@zizipi the title is accurately descriptive, the story describes the day in the life of 4 Roman sisters. I believe this comment inferred the best part Pollio's story was left out, but; that's also be more a point on how great Augustus1 was.
Sara Zents Augustus now became my favourite emperor
Ha! Nice!
Justice is done.
My wife was pretty rad. But I'm pretty sure she killed me, just saying. That Pollio guy was a jerk.

Isabel Alexander Domitia 1.
It’s the guy all the way on the right he was shaking nervously
Man 6 years later and I’m still just amazed it’s Domitia, Domitia 1, Domitia 2, Domitia 3. Like they just went “eh let’s just call the second one number one the other one is the main one, people will get it.”
I’ve been coming back to this video
Every few months I’ve seen it a ton of times but I never get bored of it

+Varoonmg Haha I know, but that's actually a quote from the movie when Hades finds out that his minions let Hercules live as a baby. "Are you sure it's the same Hercules? There's alot of Hercules.. Remember when everyone was naming their kids Jason of Brittany?"
Haha, it sure is!

I don't think I'd survive in Ancient Rome and this doesn't cover the poverty and what female slaves endured on a day to day basis.
it doesnt cuz the video is called Four sisters in Ancient Rome
Yeah, it's supposed to cover the lives of "noble" women, we know that the slaves and all went through a lot of shit, we've seen it in every movie out there, no need to teach us about it, it's cool
well u woman not trying to be rude but us African American would have endured much worse
Keith Norwood Yeah but we know all about that
Well yeah especially since Egypt is in Africa so we would have endured the same amount of pain but as history unraveled we see what happened to both races

Thank you so much for this series! Everyday life of other eras has always been my favorite subject of history, and I always thought that there was so little educative material on that.
Our history is vast and amazing... I can't imagine how the weather and daily life I would be used to would be like in that time. Getting used to seeing these outfits, hearing the old language... living the society's ideologies...
I am so happy I wasn't born in that time...
i said the same thing would have been a dead domitia...because it no way i could tolerate any of this
What if u were born during that time ? How do u know that u weren’t born then? You can never tell.. who knows I might’ve been Einstein in my past life ?? ( yeah thats probably not possible but u get the idea right 😂)

@@madiismm Why?
No wonder so many slaves rebelled with Spartacus.
***** We definetly had him in Rome en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spartacus
Common name so we're both right in that sense, but I'm talking about the rebellion so I'm right about that.
***** IKR it happens, don't sweat it so much info passes along that we miss things xD!
+Generic Scout No, I AM SPARTACUS!!!
+Hobo Joe Spartacus was a Thracian, but he was a Roman gladiator.
***** Thracians are the cousins of Greeks, and Dacians. Romanians [me] are Dacians, which were the most peaceful and brightest ones unlike their Thracian cousins. Thracians even betrayed the Dacians at one point, so yeah. Just google It to get a good hindsight on it.
I like the fact that they have a different art style for different myths belonging to different countries which suits them beautifully
This is one of the many MANY reasons they should give people their own names when they are siblings
Roman Slave:My Master, one of your slaves has offended you, but I beg that you punish me in their stead.
Roman Master: why should I punish you and not the one who has offended me.
Roman Slave: Because I am willing to take the pain of others so I do not need to see them suffer. I am a Slave and that is what I am meant for, but I am a Roman slave therefore I am Roman making me courageous and just, so I will take this burden as a true Roman.
Roman Master: Then I shall punish you, but not harshly. For not many True Romans would do a thing. In this I admire you in courage but despise you in stupidity. It is not your place to take the punishment of others, but I will make the exception this one time.
Old Roman tale that I remember as a kid.

This channel is what keeps me up at night, the animations are fabulous and these stories, riddles and lessons are so fascinating
Binge watching these rn
Naming all your children the same thing makes no sense, gender aside.
I suppose if you want them all to come down for dinner and get off Facebook, it makes sense.
you would only have to shout one name up the stairs and you also wouldn't have the risk of getting their names wrong.
as far as I know, they did it mainly to due to the fact that many new born children died In their first or second month. Since you knew most of your children wouldn' survive, itwouldn' make much sense to gives all of them unique names.
In Rome woman were given the feminine version of their father's name. If the father was Julius his daughters would be named Julia.
Siblings in Roman times were often named after numerals in order of their birth. So I guess that these sisters actually were called Prima ("first one"), Seconda ("second one"), Tertia ("third one") and Quarta ("fourth one"). And it was also possible to call an older sister Major ("big one") and a younger sister Minor ("little one").
ive watched two of these videos already and the cliff hangers really piss me off
What cliff hangers?
Like the one about the teenage boy in one video and if he'll survive the reign of terror of a new emperor or this one where what will happen with the betrothal if it'll go well
Well that cliff hanger isn't really important to the four sisters. We know it's a slave, it doesn't matter which one
The purpose of the video is to present what the life of a "regular" person in this time period would have looked like. The story is not really important..it's more like a layout to explain little everyday stuff that would have happened around the time.

Unfortunately, this video is replete with modern stereotypes. 1. Women's names could vary somewhat: Domitia, Domitilla, Domitiana. Additionally, upon marriage they could add the genitive of their husband's cognomen e.g. "Domitia Phileti." That's basically what we do today. 2. Not EVERYTHING that we have written by the Romans was written by men (Footnote 2). 3. Nude co-sex bathing is now thought to have occurred through most of the history of Rome. (Footnote 3) 4. Women could indeed go into the Forum....How else would they shop at the markets there?...A huge piece of the Pompeiian Forum was donated by a business-WOman. 5. Women did indeed exercise a role in public--even political--life, even though it was thru the men she could influence via campaign advertisements, dinners, etc. Why only thru men? Because they were the top-members of the social units. In a non-electronic society, social units (families/estates) have representation--thru their top member--not direct voting. Also voting this early was an expression of military (exclusively male) & land-owning (mostly male) clout. 6. Women weren't voiceless over these mores: History records certain patrician women slapping other women for getting out of line (e.g. Footnote 6). 7. I've been in the top of the Colosseum. You're close to the fighting. Its back row is twice as close as the Ohio State Football stadium's. Now for what's not said, but implied: 8. YOU JUST DON'T SEE ANCIENT WOMEN ANYWHERE AGITATING FOR POLITICAL RIGHTS!!!...To imply that they should've (based on our modern context) is to totally put made-up words into their mouths. Indeed, voting In Rome was so rare & often so insignificant in the things voted for, that most males didn't have the right, and even when they did they rarely travelled to Rome to exercise it.

+Marie Millien Read the description for once.
+Christian Mills it isn't about normal people. just rich people.
+MonarchTherapsids Inostran Most of the recorded history we have was written by the wealthy, literate population, and thus thats what we have for information.
makes sense.
I funny how so many people comment about how young they are but in Rome at the time the average life span was 35 years. So if you think about it 15 is about her half her life.
You are incorrect. 35 is the average, due to high infant and child mortality. If you lived past 10 you could easily live into your 50s and beyond. 15 is only young by today's standards, standards that have only come about in the past half a century.
Those numbers are misleading. People from the upper classes on any age could be confident of living into old age, outside of women dying in childbirth or men dying in war. The averages encompass people whose lives were hell on earth. That brings the numbers way down.

I love that the entire video, domitia 2 & 3 are just running along while domitia 1 is just slouching and looking like "fml.."
They did have their birth order to help things out; if there were only one or two daughters, they were given 'Elder'/ Major & 'Younger'/ Minor, as devices, ie. Antonia Major & Antonia Minor, the two daughters of Marc Antoni (also related to mothers & daughters, ie, Julia the Elder & Julia the Younger, the daughter & granddaughter of Augustus) - with more than two, they kept it simple, with numbers: Prima (first), Secunda (second), Tertia (third), Quarta (fourth), Quinta* (fifth), Nonia (ninth) & so on - Brutus (yes, *that* Brutus) had three half-sisters through his mother's second marriage to Decimus Junius Silanius, all named Junia; while little is known of Junia Prima, her sisters were more prominent- Junia Secunda was wife to Lepidus, of the Second Triumvirate, & Junia Tertia (also known as Tertulla) became somewhat famous in her time, being sister & wife to Caesar's assassins Brutus & Cassius, respectively- & the fortune she amassed, by outliving her male relations.

Domita 2 is betrothed to Lucius which TedEd made another video with. I love this channel.
i would love to see you do a daily life in ancient egypt vid like this. :D
Jeez. Another day, another thing learned about ancient Rome, another realization about how deep and virulent Roman misogyny was.
Unfortunately this video is a little generalising in terms of information. The title should probably have been "four YOUNG sisters" as it fails to recognise some of the liberties of women during ancient rome. Though I'm not entirely sure if they spanned through to the the installation of emperors, Roman women were allowed to work and own their own businesses as well as become matrons (female patrons). Compared to other ancient cultures, such as the athenians, Romans were actually quite progressive in their own ways. Though it is true that women were not allowed to hold political power in the senate.
