Jordan performed such a powerfully vivid and moving narration, well done! The story of Marcus Aurelius made me emotional and teary and he is now a favorite philosopher and ancient civilization ruler of mine. This one is my favorite video from this channel so far.
I teared up looking into his “real” eyes. I have a replica bust of his sitting on my book shelf. This man has helped me so much. Seeing him as a real person, instead of statue, was so meaningful.
This is the same guy that, in his diary, chastised himself for wanting to stay in bed in the morning because it was comfortable. This took a dude that was already relatable to next level relatable. He even looks like a chill dude.
This is one of the most realistic recreations of a historical figure I had seen. He looks very much like his statues.Marcus Aurelius was a philosopher so no wonder he was a good and caring Emperor. The plague pandemic must had been truly horrific event with catastrophic repercussions on Rome. I can’t imagine , considering the times they lived in, the horror and suffering they went trough .
Thank you so much. I agree, it seems like he was an amazing emperor that got dealt some really terrible circumstances. To be honest, it makes his inner work much more impressive knowing he went through so much
Absolutely! To have been landed with such responsibilities when he just wanted to lead a contemplative life, having to deal with sharing power with a seemingly fairly feckless adopted brother, and then to support the Roman's through such a horrific period in their history whilst also mourning his own deep family losses... I must admit the historical narration on this one brought me to tears. I'm glad his personal philosophy helped him to cope - as it seems to have helped many others since! - but I can't help feeling great compassion for what he experienced.
I meant to add that the surviving statues of him are incredible testament to the skill of those artists, too. You literally can recognize him as he ages from child to young man to older man.
You look at that face, and what we know of his life, and can see that here was a lovable, kind, and decent person, who would have been a pleasure to know. My favourite recreation so far. Oh, and the narration was great. As others have said, I was totally wrapped up in the interesting history lesson, and forgot about the recreation that was coming.
Being half Italian I found the video very interesting and informative. If your physical depiction is correct he was quiet handsome . Since the advent of COVID, I can sympathize with his trials as a leader and with the Roman citizens of his age.
They did not need tests to find out who had the plague back then, also judging from the percentage of dead Romans, whatever plague it was, its survival rate wasn’t 99,8% but MUCH lower.
I really enjoyed the sympathetic way you portrayed this man's history. His great mistake was Commodus, but really, what other choices did he have? He is my favorite emperor, as much for his compassion as his self restraint. I think you did a very good job of showing what he might have looked like.
Wow !! This is just outstanding !! The editing, the music, the narration and the final reveal was all perfect!! I didnt feel the need to jump to the reveal as the content was so fascinating and well put together !! Thank you !!
I've learned a good bit about Marcus Aurelius from Roman History and documentaries. I've also read most of his Meditations. It's hard for anyone in the current times to fully understand the magnificence of Marcus, the strength and intelligence he possessed in times of brutal wars, brutal politics, and of course the horrific plague that devastated much of Rome for years. With the known world on his shoulders he remained one of the if not the best ruler of Rome. His inner philosopher and stoicism probably saved his sanity more than once and I would argue if alive today would make an amazing leader of people. It's sad how many generations like the younger ones around today have not only no appreciation for history and people like Marcus, but are taught to hate and destroy all positive and constructive things that came before them. Man's greatest flaw seems to be somewhat cyclic... to forget the lessons and wisdoms of the past. The physical recreation after the brief but well presented summary of his life gives a bit of special connection to him. Much appreciated.
Outstanding job. Marcus had aLOT to contend with and was a man of MANY traits. He wasn't JUST this aloof, stoic philosopher but a Warrior and active protector of his people who helped to fight domestic catastrophes like famine and the Antonine plague, as well as outside and foreign invasions.
As person that has always been fascinated by history and historical figures your depictions fascinate me and amaze me. I get so much satisfaction from listening and seeing your work.
i forgot to comment on the wonderful recreation of Marcus Aurelius face - you made this man come alive - and it seems that most of the females (me too) that have seen this video have fallen in love with him
Marcus Aurelius was definitely one of, if not the best emperor Rome had seen. Benevolent, wise, magnanimous, strong calm waters, and a very respectable looking man. Did I see a little Tom Jones in the modern smiling version? Must have been hallucinating. Thanks for your remarkable historical references and beautiful work. History comes alive.
I've only just discovered this channel, but I'm absolutely blown away. Hello, Marcus, it's nice to finally "see" you. :) Thank you for this content! As a lover of history, this is exactly what I've been looking for.
I loved listening to Jordan as the narrator! I was entranced. Thank you both for this wonderful video. As for Marcus, I believe he would have both liked and approved of this coverage and presentation of him in this show. Thank you. ~Sharon
I love these presentations. The facial reconstructions are the beautiful icing on an extremely detailed cake that are the back stories of their lives. I have to say, also, the musical choice is so beautiful that it alone had me emotional.
I remember visiting Italy many years ago and going to various museums all over the country. After some time you start to get familiar with the famous busts of the emperors and you start to easily recognize them. Marcus Aurelius in particular with his curly hair, and I remember seeing some of him at different ages. I had always wished someone would paint a cast of those busts so we could see what they look like, very happy to see that rendered here.
We were assigned Meditations in college, and I loved parts of it. Now I want to read through it again with fresh eyes. Thanks so much for the narration as well as the reconstructions. Great job!
Jordan did a great job of narration, I was glued to the History lesson... As always so beautifully produced Bec. 🙏 This presentation could well be described as being between time travel and One's life review in the hereafter. Powerful, informative and moving all at the same time. Quality production that would be found and expected on a cable network, in my opinion far too good for the likes of a Google held medium.
I agree with Laurence - I don't have TV, so RUclips is my medium. It's wonderful to have top quality productions available to us on this channel. Thank you!
What a fascinating account of politics in the Roman Empire! This is a touching look into the heart of the man who was emperor and served his empire well!
What I suspect Christians feel when they think about Jesus is what I feel when I think about Marcus. He's almost like a demi-God to me, maybe that is because he was so in touch with his "fragment of divinity", as he calls it. Whenever I feel a task is too great for me or my irrational emotions are taking control, all I have to do is summon him to my consciousness, remember him, and feel the love that is in his philosophy, and it makes everything so much easier to handle. I'm so immensely thankful for him and that his written texts have survived. Looking at his reconstructed face at the end made me tear up a bit. He just looks so kind and virtuous and there's a light shining from him like he is the sun itself. Thank you so much!
I just found this channel. So good. I love the narration and historical context. I get a sense of real curiosity, care and concern from the creators. Thank you so much for bringing history to life in such a compelling way.
Love this channel. I loved listening to how people from the ancient lived. Right from their achievements,struggles . Also loved seeing on how they would look like in real life. Great work
I’m a recent subscriber and I just want to say I’m simply blown away by your channel. The art work, the narrations, the script, the music….you guys are just FIRST RATE artists! BRAVA/BRAVO👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼❤️❤️❤️❤️
Well, if only history class could have been as enthralling and lively as this was when I was young, I may have payed close attention. Great reveal at the end, of his looks. Loved it.
You made his eyes look soft and warm. I was expecting more sad-looking eyes, maybe not looking directly ahead, but off to the side a bit and downward. You do beautiful work, though.
Amazing video. Excellent work. It was even touching in a way, so I literally had tears in my eyes. One of the best videos I've ever seen. Thank you for sharing. My greetings 🙏🌷
One may say, the fact that Marcus despised being a leader, is what made him such a great one. His desires did not lie in power and control, only knowledge and the betterment of self and man. My dad and I often tease that politicians should never be those who want power to lead, but be unwilling good people. Much like Marcus!
Jesus Christ this was heart-wrenching. I was not expecting to be in tears when I clicked this video. A very well structured and moving narration, with great editing to boot. Keep this the fuck up I’m excited to see this channel evolve. A large step in the right direction!
Thank you so much! This comment really means a lot! We work hard to try and make it meaningful, and for you to tell me that it made you tear up is just amazing.
Excellent video. I really enjoyed the historical background and recreation of how Marcus Aurelius looked like. The team who worked on this video is very talented. Thank you for your hard work.
This is a really incredible series. I remember when I started reading marcus aerelius and how special or was for me and in my life at that time. And to me he was a mythical man almost not real. Someone I really admired. To see him as a real person is really amazing. You just know that's him. It really is being the past back to life and it makes us all understand our connection.
I absolutely loved the in depth history of Marcus ! I would adore longer videos with more history leading up to the main event as it really helps to set the scene !
I just learned Marcus is my ancestor, my 69th great grand father. I happened to find him deeply buried in my genealogy charts after I found a man named Tonantius Ferreolus. I told my husband it's a dream of mine to have ancestors from ancient Rome, and I can't believe it's true!
I love it. I might fangirl a little for him. Also a little request, could you, perhaps, link, if any, online sources of your research if possible. if not it's also okay. You have amazing works! 💕
We've read his book for our spiritual teachings. His kind eyes made me cry. What a kind soul he was. He never left his people. If he were alive today hed be everyone's friend.
Beautiful, since I have found your channel, I'm obssesed. You show these people from far in time in a beautiful light and seeing them makes you feel very human, like if they perfectly could be one of us, even if they were high class people.
I've now watched several of your videos and am absolutely blown away! The narration is superb, and the stories of these famous people are so interesting. But the real fascinating moments are the recreations - bringing these souls to life! They are beautiful and haunting at the same time. Thank you so much for your wonderful work - just amazing!
14:25 that smile really brought it to life. I mean obviously, but i suppose especially with the context of who he was and how he handled himself, it was beautiful.
Thank you so much! I love Roamn history and have been interested in Marcus Aurelius. A number of months ago I found his bok, Meditations, which I regret, I didn't buy. He's such a fascinating man! I really loved how you pictured him and his aging. Thank you again for such great work!
Your historical summary is among the best I’ve seen for comparable length and detail. What fascinates me is that he was born into exulted circumstances yet remained grounded and humble. What a contrast to his adopted brother Lucius. Is there any record of how Lucius and Marcus died?
I didn't know his story and it really impressed me. He was a remarcable man and you can see that in his eyes, as he is portrayed by Royalty Now Studios. Great job!
This is WONDERFUL! I loved every minute of it, the writing, the narration, the reconstruction and because I’ve always had a bit of a teenage girl crush on Marcus Aurelius, the smile at the end knocked me out. He really was smiling at me from the past. Do you have still images that I could pin to a Pinterest board? I don’t want them for commercial use. Please keep doing these, I know it must be a lot of work, I am so damned grateful for it all!
@@RoyaltyNowStudios thanks so much for responding. A favorite quote by our man Marcus: “ If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it, and this you have the power to revoke at any moment“.
I actually felt like I was meeting him for the first time, I even felt compelled to greet him. I would have liked to have seen recreations of him from his younger portrayals as well since we have so many and there is such great consistency between them.
I have always been interested in Marcus because I had heard that he was a great emperor - I didn't know how difficult his life had become as he got older. Great story for a great man - thank you
What do you guys think of the narration?
Excellent!

It was excellent, I showed the vid and translated narration to my mother and we both were delighted. Congratulations and thanks a lot.
Thank you, I think I will be narrating the next one :) the plan is to switch off each time
Thank you! Glad you liked it :)

If you''re ever in Rome, go see his equestrian statue!
“Teared up??? Beta.

Same.. I got goosebumps and tears..
If only our modern day leaders could learn from greats like Marcus Aurelius..
Same.
The history narration was so good that I almost forgot there was gonna be a recreation at the end. Keep up the good work guys. Lots of love.

Marcus Aurelius was my Roman History professor's favorite emperor. He used to read Marcus's work to 'pump himself up' as he said.
Incredibly and surprisingly moving. Beautiful work.

I actually felt like I was meeting him for the first time, I even felt compelled to greet him. I would have liked to have seen recreations of him from his younger portrayals as well since we have so many and there is such great consistency between them.
Very interesting. You really brought him to life for me. He seems like a guy I would like to know.
I just discovered these and LOVE THEM! Thank you!
I have always been interested in Marcus because I had heard that he was a great emperor - I didn't know how difficult his life had become as he got older. Great story for a great man - thank you
Fabulous! Simply fabulous. Thank you!
Gorgeous recreations and a great video on his history. Thank you. 💓
