All good points until the last one. They were not willing to accept the authoritarian system to bring stability. Ha! They literally died by the thousands if not by hundreds of thousands throughout two long civil wars were Octavian finally won.

Not saying their republic was anything holy because it was just as bad as the imperial one near the end. But Rome near ate itself alive to determine who would be on top and then it was a slow dissolution of the senatorial powers after that by each proceeding Emperor. Also most early emperors assumed “senatorial roles” to extend their powers (done individually) once they proved themselves or had strong enough position in Rome to do so.
Sounds like america today except the generals are more leaders of militant groups. Because we all know the current American generals are just as much cucks as our legislators.
For a number 1 nation the biggest fear isn’t the other countries (of course they pounce when they think your weak) but domestically where the empire is weaken first.
"In the midst of battle, when chaos reigns and fear grips the heart, remember this: the true battlefield lies within oneself. Conquer the doubts, the temptations of weakness, and the tumult of emotions. For it is not the external foe that defines victory, but the inner strength and resilience of the warrior's spirit." - Marcus Aurelius
@@theawesomeman9821 sorry have you read polybius? He talked about how Roman constitution is a mixed one containing equal acpects of democracy, kingship and astocraticy
I like how fast he talks about lusitanians when the Romans lost to them for 10 years non-stop and they were the first barbarian tribe to make Roman sign a piece treaty on their terms only thru bribes they were able to assassinate their leader and create chaos in Lusitania and still would take them another 20 years to subdue them.
A peasant rabble will always meet it's match with a trained Roman legion. The Boudican revolt as well as the Spartacus rebellion were a few to learn this lesson. Discipline and training as well as a firm grasp of army tactics, logistics and mobility always win against a shaky, emotional, lawless rabble. When the tide turns, it's usually sudden and HORRIBLE for those that took up arms against Rome.
Nonsense, the Germanic tribes were nothing more then hardy hunters, farmers and fishermen with the occasional skirmish between themselves, yet they managed to end the western Roman empires existence.
@@Judge_Magister Nothing more than 'hardy hunters'? LOL!!' I've heard the accounts by Roman generals about them and it doesn't match up with what you're saying. They were feared for their ferocity in battle, their size and skills in ambush. They destroyed an entire legion, to the last man by luring the Romans into a 20 mile long wooded area. The Germanic tribes were not a "rabble" and comparing them to the EXAMPLE given is a demonstration of a lack of basic comprehension. I gave TWO specific examples, both UPRISINGS. I was not making a case for CONQUEST, which the Romans met their match countless times. I would have pointed out the Germanic tribes and also what happened to the Romans when they faced horse archers in great numbers, again, complete slaughter. The Romans WERE persistent, though...especially in the case of Carthage.
@@Judge_MagisterBy that point in history, the Germanics had centuries of both warfare and trade with Rome. They also composed most of the Empire's military. They had knowledge and production of armour, shields and weapons. They weren't a mindless rabble looking for loot, they started their own kingdoms.
@@nikov82 true but there is a 600 year time period leading up to that starting with the first Cimbrian war. The Germanic tribes have been defeating Roman legions even at the height of Romes power.
Trump was the closest thing to ending the Republic since the civil war. China isn't going to be a issue for the US in this century or ever. They passed their peak and they lie about data. It's all catching up to them now as the Chinese economy is falling apart. Russia is too weak and in terminal decline to ever be a problem for America again. The biggest threat to the Republic now is people trying to overturn elections.
10:20 fun fact: the word “bocchus” in Algerian slang of today is an insult that means an idiot or traitor Algerians to this day didnt forget the treason of the king of Mauritania Kind of ironic when you also realise that today’s algeria and morroco dont get along
Crassus in fact was a poor General - Google "Carrhae" - and lost to Spartacus several times before final victory after Pompey returned and helped him out.

The Republic started to crumble with the social wars. With Sulla and Marius completely using king like styles of ruling to get thier means across and with it demeaning republic Institutions. Maruius was elected by the people though im sure he would give up his rule had the people asked him to whilst sulla was different in that regard. both very burtal, but sulla was the politician unlike the solider marius and that did him no favors in winning the roman elite class. There was a republic loyalist in spain after the defeat of marius with him was the last true abled guy to bring stability back to a growing corrupt goverment, his name was Sertorius who lead a large scale rebellion against the sulla backed crooked senate and what a phenominal story of moive like porportions, unfortunately he to was overwhelmed in rebellion and the "republic" sent assassins and deceit a style was considered below them for a once honrable instution . He beat the best generals they threw at him and was done in by the game of politics, sad that good men who with good intentions are always betrayed. So that was begining of the end of the rebublic. It will be with the brillaint general Cesar himself that would bring the end of the republic and with his heir the age of empire.

🇮🇹💪🏻THE VALUES OF ROMANITY part 0 The ancient Romans had for a long time been industrious and rough peasants, intent only on cultivating their fields, fighting against their enemies, carrying out the practices of religion. The old Cato, in his book on Agriculture, gives us an idea of their customs: « When our ancestors wanted to praise man, they said: - Good worker, good farmer - and this praise seemed the most great that could be done". Cato also quotes some of their old proverbs: "A bad farmer is he who buys what the earth cannot supply"; "A bad steward is he who does in the day what he can do in the night"; "The cultivation of the fields is so done that if you delay one thing, you will also delay all the others." And Cicero has Cato say "The delights that agriculture experiences seem to me to be the most in conformity with the life of the truly wise man". Hard to work, hard to earn, thrifty and orderly, these peasants had been the strength of the Roman armies. For a long time they too had been the predominant element in the assemblies of the people, and had thus dominated in the republic. They lived in small, one-story houses, built very roughly. The main room, the atrium (where the sacred hearth of the family was located had an opening at the top through which the rain fell; all household goods, furnishings, and domestic furnishings were reduced to chests and wardrobes for storing things, wooden stools, rough beds, and very little else. The nourishment was simple, composed especially of boiled wheat and barley, bread and legumes; meat was eaten only on holidays; the women never drank wine, the men seldom. The dress consisted of a tunic, over which (when it was cold a woolen cloak was superimposed; on holidays and solemn ceremonies the citizens wore the toga draped around the person; the footwear consisted of sandals, fastened with straps. Life was spent in work: the men cultivated the fields; the women spun wool, wove clothes, ground the grain. The only distraction, perhaps, that those primitive people had was going to the market every nine days, and taking part in the festivals in honor of the gods. The term mos maiorum or mores maiorum, i.e. the customs of the ancestors, which permeated the entire glorious Roman tradition. « The costume is the custom of the fathers, that is the memory of the ancients relating above all to the rites and ceremonies of antiquity. » So the mores were the beliefs and ceremonies that united a people, but also the so-called Roman values, pertaining above all to the royal period. According to Gaius and Sextus Pomponius the mores were the uses and customs of the tribes that united and formed Rome, in short, the models of behavior pertinent to the familiae and subsequently, from the middle of the eighth century. B.C. to the gentes, always respecting the decisions of the priests. These mores were collected by the priests themselves, handing them down orally or through secret archives. Dionysius of Halicarnassus writes that the first written laws were the work of Romulus, because until then it was the priests or tribal leaders who enforced the oral tradition. Sextus Pomponius wrote that with the first kings, however, the written rules began, giving rise to the first laws, promulgated, as Plutarch and Cicero also report, by the kings, or by the Pontiff or by both jointly. That kings wanted to guarantee the people with written laws was a great step towards civilization, in a world where kings, tribal chiefs and fathers of families were the absolute dictators of their sphere. According to some, the first book of norms was the "Liber Numae" by Numa Pompilius, which has not survived, and the "Libris Pontificalis", it is not known whether they were a separate work or a section of the Liber, but it is known that they collected the norms of Romulus and those of Numa Pompilius as well as the priestly rites derived from the mores. Then there was the "Commentarius" by Servius Tullius and later the "Libris Sibyllinis", above all based on rituals, which Tarquinius Superbus received from the Sibyl, all of which however disappeared due to the fire of Rome in 90 BC. by the Gauls of Brenno. However, both traditional practices and archaic rituals went back to collective customs. While the mores identify customs and usages, they simultaneously become tools that carry values, assuming a characteristic of ideology, especially in the imperial age, representing not individual customs to follow but an example of virtue that must be had to do good to the Roman community. In this regard, the foundation of the mores maiorum was based on five fundamental virtues: fides, pietas, majestas, vistus and gravitas.
@MasteIsIllmatic Well kinda sorta The empire centralized alot of the territory the republic gained, fortified the borders, and did tack a sizable amount of conquests of its own onto it Everyone else was still in danger
@@maddoxlacy9072 but everyone wasn’t in danger.. they were already conquered by a republic.. the dictatorship only strong armed them to being part of what the republic already conquered
Bro can you plz make a longer vdo combining all your vdos onHistory of England and UK. Also plz make a longer vdo explaining chronological events frm the moment modern humans set foot on the Europe to age of Internet. dt's a request.
There’s a lot of names in this video that I have heard, pronounced way differently. Like Sulla, I always heard it in, pronounced it with a short u. But traditional Latin may pronounce it differently.
Every empire had an issue that ultimately lead it to crumble… succession. Mongols empire split between sons, Macedonian empire split between powerful general, british empire well that was america😅 but succession does weak an empire as how each person administrated lands and region can be pinnacle to either its success or downfall
Rome did not crumble. It only became more prosperous after becoming an empire. The British empire did not crumble after losing the 13 colonies, it wasn't even at it's peak of power during that time, only later during the victorian era. It collapsed due to almost every single one of its colonies wanting to gain independence
Sulla marching on Rome was the deathblow. After Sulla marched on Rome Every roman with power and an army knew that marching on Rome was a viable possibility.
Gonna leave you a good and bad comment. In that order. Good: Thanks for referring to those dates as BC, not BCE. There's not such a thing as a common era. I'm not religious, but trying to hide that the western calendar is based on the estimated year of the birth of Christ is stupid and pretending there's a "common", which we are imposing on people who have their own calendars, is culturally insulting. So huge kudos to you for sticking to Before Christ. Bad: Latin's G is always a strong G (as in GET). Latin C is always a strong C, as in "CAT". Lucius is pronounced "LUKIUS".
I don't care about BC/AD in the vernacular, and I'm not religious, either, but I'm going to keep using BC and BCE when discussing things academically. It's not the year of my lord because I don't have one. To ask me to do that is just as insulting. It's why I don't correct people for using AD/BC.
Love the video and Content you are publishing! But your name pronunciation are off and though most people won’t care or notice, it will be noticed by those who know their histories. Don’t take my remark harshly! Your content is great. BC - Before Christ is fine to use (saw a comment about it) but just like BCE, the dates from back then don’t exist in either BC or BCE and it’s due to how you are wanting to deliver the material. Academia and science dating used BCE/CE while most regular wee folk use BC/AD. Neither is wrong to use but anyone making a point about you using a certain form is just arguing to argue their personal preference. You keep up the good work!
6:55 these reforms were not unpopular. Rather, Gracchus tried to install these reforms through an uncommon channel-as tribun of the plebs. Senators feared that he or his brother would become too powerful (as Scipio already did)
Omg that Achean vs. Sparta reminds me so much of Israel vs. Gaza. Like the Hellenistic Acheans, Romans probably shared thr same God, like America and Israel share Yahweh. If even mentions how Acheans over did the attack, much like Israel is doing now.
I love roman history look foward to more however I dislike other videos that tries to glaringly point out massacres and such as if it was not normal for all of romes enemies to slaughter roman citizens and genocide them but yes Rome did the same but again they were not evil they were the norm
Not at all, the pronunciations are bothering me. It's Kim-bri (cimbri) not sim-bri. It's Suh-Luh (Sulla) not soo-la. It's Mithra-day-tees not Minthra-dates... Great video over all but the proper pronunciation brings a level of policy to videos like these.
Societal decadence. The ruling aristocracy lost their cultural values. This led to governmental instability and infighting. After a century+ of horrific civil wars, no wonder the plebs and left over aristocracy was willing to submit to authoritarianism due to the stability it brought.
Collapsing? Perhaps if you only meant the republican form of government, because while constantly challenged Rome continued to increase its geographic reach, population, wealth & military during this time.

Rome did not crumble. It only became more prosperous after becoming an empire. The British empire did not crumble after losing the 13 colonies, it wasn't even at it's peak of power during that time, only later during the victorian era. It collapsed due to almost every single one of its colonies wanting to gain independence
@@oneup3 i mean roman empire did crumble
Sulla marching on Rome was the deathblow. After Sulla marched on Rome Every roman with power and an army knew that marching on Rome was a viable possibility.
Yeah 15 consecutive wars tend to do that to a civilization.
Very nice 👍.
First
Btw I love your videos I’m a big fan 😎 👍
Rome is winning every conflict mentioned in the video! How can that be about a decline of Rome?
Gonna leave you a good and bad comment. In that order.
Good: Thanks for referring to those dates as BC, not BCE. There's not such a thing as a common era. I'm not religious, but trying to hide that the western calendar is based on the estimated year of the birth of Christ is stupid and pretending there's a "common", which we are imposing on people who have their own calendars, is culturally insulting. So huge kudos to you for sticking to Before Christ.
Bad: Latin's G is always a strong G (as in GET). Latin C is always a strong C, as in "CAT". Lucius is pronounced "LUKIUS".
I don't care about BC/AD in the vernacular, and I'm not religious, either, but I'm going to keep using BC and BCE when discussing things academically. It's not the year of my lord because I don't have one. To ask me to do that is just as insulting. It's why I don't correct people for using AD/BC.
True, all english speaker call julius caesar 'ceesar' while its pronounced 'kai-sar'
Pls do a tutorial how to make a video
Sounds like the USA right now
But we don't want to play as Pontus!
Love the video and Content you are publishing! But your name pronunciation are off and though most people won’t care or notice, it will be noticed by those who know their histories.
Don’t take my remark harshly! Your content is great.
BC - Before Christ is fine to use (saw a comment about it) but just like BCE, the dates from back then don’t exist in either BC or BCE and it’s due to how you are wanting to deliver the material.
Academia and science dating used BCE/CE while most regular wee folk use BC/AD. Neither is wrong to use but anyone making a point about you using a certain form is just arguing to argue their personal preference.
You keep up the good work!
The C should be pronounced with a k sound aside from that great video very informative
As an American, all of this seems strangely familiar right now.
Nice 👍
6:55 these reforms were not unpopular. Rather, Gracchus tried to install these reforms through an uncommon channel-as tribun of the plebs.
Senators feared that he or his brother would become too powerful (as Scipio already did)
Bocchus🗿 King of Morocco 🇲🇦
What if the Roman Empire hadn't existed? 🤔
Wait what if??
Spain looks like Emirate cordoba.. interesting 🤔
To me the republic was an empire already
And now Rome is starting to fall
For anyone interested in the Late Republic and the Augustan Era I warmly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos

The only thing that can stop legion is legion

He still exist!
Links to parts 1-6 would be much appreciated.

C'mon. The Republic ended with the dream and death of the Gracchus brothers.
There is no letter "H" in peninsula

Omg that Achean vs. Sparta reminds me so much of Israel vs. Gaza. Like the Hellenistic Acheans, Romans probably shared thr same God, like America and Israel share Yahweh. If even mentions how Acheans over did the attack, much like Israel is doing now.
They stopped paying taxes, and they were extremely decadent in lifestyle, that’s why it fell.

The region of Emilia in Italy is named after him
@@gheddafiduck8239 I thought that was his nomen, his family name Aemilia.

Yes, but actually no

I love roman history look foward to more however I dislike other videos that tries to glaringly point out massacres and such as if it was not normal for all of romes enemies to slaughter roman citizens and genocide them but yes Rome did the same but again they were not evil they were the norm
Gracchus and trump. Any parallels?
Why do you call Cinna Chinna, and Lucius Luchius? Is that the correct pronunciation in Latin?
Not at all, the pronunciations are bothering me. It's Kim-bri (cimbri) not sim-bri. It's Suh-Luh (Sulla) not soo-la. It's Mithra-day-tees not Minthra-dates... Great video over all but the proper pronunciation brings a level of policy to videos like these.
Great video, but the mispronunciation is killing me
Sue la!
Celts of Germanic origin?!?!? What?!?!? 🤔 haha😂
we were better off in the days of the Empire, when the whole world was run by the Italians.
Most Roman Emperors weren’t even Italian.
@@Adsper2000 then they must have wanted to be Italian.
Italians can't even stand other Italians. I wonder why? LOL! We still live under the Roman Empire- wise woman.
The republic was better the empire was terrible
@@The_king567 You are right. i was being facetious
Societal decadence. The ruling aristocracy lost their cultural values. This led to governmental instability and infighting. After a century+ of horrific civil wars, no wonder the plebs and left over aristocracy was willing to submit to authoritarianism due to the stability it brought.
You fail to mention that there were rich plebs within said fighting. "The Battle of the Orders"
Freedom for Palestine and Gaza
There's no such thing as Palestine.

@@montypythonatorThere is.
Collapsing? Perhaps if you only meant the republican form of government, because while constantly challenged Rome continued to increase its geographic reach, population, wealth & military during this time.
Either he's stupid or most likely paid to deceive. We still live under the Roman Empire... Fucking sick of these liars
China/ America whos greed will finish which first.
All empires collapse. All. Now waiting for collapse of Moscovian empire (so called russian federation).
