This is one of the best videos of Roman History, the fact that you went from Augustus to Constantine XII makes your video second to none!!! Edit: It was not Emperor Heraclius who introduced the themata system, it was Constans II
Theodosius The great, such a boss! Won two civil wars, solidified christianity for the world and last emperor to rule the empire as one before it split, 16 year rule and died of natural causes which is a pretty big deal with all the murdering of leaders going on with this empire! I’m slowly becoming obsessed with this history, so captivating and interesting!
Not bad! I will note that the Themes of Byzantium are per current scholarship (like Treadgold) attributed to Constans II rather than Heraclius. Overall good job!
Domitian was a great emperor who was hugely popular. You took the lazy way out and repeated what the upper class senators thought rather than a more nuanced view.
Interesting to see the inferior depiction of these caesars in the latter part of the empire. Where were the artists who could replicate the Roman beauties? Nikephoros III and Maria look quite lovely, though. (1:32:30)
They were able to do that but it wasn't needed anymore in terms of Christian Iconography with uses intentionally a non relist way of depicting human beings and the drawings that you see of the late Byzantine Emperors are taken from Medieval manuscripts written by monastic historians.

Thank you, Wendy :) What leads you to the conclusion that there was a rise in testosterone levels? Not saying I necessarily disagree, but I'm not sure what would support the assumption either.
@@TheLegendaryLore It's an observation of the characteristics: male dominance, violent power struggles for leadership, enlargement of territory, increase of population. I see a comparison with the same situation in animal herds: a need to migrate to better grazing for better fertility and better success in survival of their offspring.

Holy Roman Emperors should have been included. Contemporaries very much considered them to be Western Caesars, and it’s simply ahistorical to say that the greatest like the Ottonians or the Hohenstaufen were not Caesars of West every much as their predecessors.
An excellent summary good sir! Seems like being a soldier in the Roman empire was a safer option than emperor. "Emperor for a year....murdered.... emperor for 4 months.... murdered..."
Thank you, brother! Yeah, it seems like a risky job. I'd be curious at some point to compare the lifespan of a Roman emperor to that of rulers of other empires and civilizations throughout history.
Three cheers for Theodora! I would like to have been a fly on the wall in her era. Strong women in a severely patriarchal empire would have been rare - and definitely in need of some cosmic support. My sister is a Leo, astrologically-speaking. She would definitely be up for Caesarship!
Great video. I think it's a huge mistake to praise Caesar/Augustus too much. I would argue the empire is best understood as the soviet union of the iron age. They succeeded in constructing a lot of megaprojects, but their rules was defined by gradually stripping away the rights and freedoms of the Roman people and economic decline. They managed to keep going for a while by constantly expanding and keeping the economy on life support with foreign plunder, but eventually their empire reached a practical limit and they had to stop. After that they tried keeping things afloat by constantly inflating the currency, mixing more and more lead into the coinage and constantly raising taxes. The result was a monetary collapse and people began fleeing their trades because they couldn't afford all the new taxes. In response to that they started making trades compulsory and hereditory, tying entire families to dying professions and requiring them to pay taxes in goods and services. Essentially they had created medieval serfdom. All the while they were enslaving the Romans and other conquered peoples they were playing chess using ethnic groups as pawns, pitting them against each other to avoid rebellions. By the time they were finished the romans were slaves and so outbred they barely resembled their ancestors and their former enemies were running the empire. Tankies love to visit the former USSR and marvel at all the brutalist monuments they created, but they studiously avoid acknowledging the misery needed to create them. Same goes for SPQRaboos, they love to point at triumphal arches and temples as evidence of Rome's greatness but they rarely acknowledge the social decline and economic devastation the empire caused, both to the Romans and the rest of Europe. The Roman empire was a dire warning, not something we should emulate.
I think you analysis is spot on, except I'm not sure we can make a direct comparison to the USSR specifically. There are a lot of similarities, but the culture and philosophical background was very different. It seems most empires eventually go through a regression very similar to what you described regardless of initial political starting point.
@@TheLegendaryLore I find the USSR comparison handy because no one except tankies try to defend it. It's bad in almost everyone's mind. The comparison is very broad but it really did have a surprising amount in common with communist regimes. I think empires are the regression. Once a ruling class ends up ruling multiple racial groups then they gain independence from the one they were supposed to be serving. Inevitably this result in them seeing their subjects as an annoying problem to be dealt with and turning on them. Still watching the rest of the video, it's a great summary.
Why would anyone want to be emperor seriously as most were killed off because they could not please everyone. Julius ceasar killed the Republic but it also killed rome as when the emperors took over the fighting between them all was chaos.

Valerian was such a loss.Soldiers can be so ungrateful in the Roman world. Donatives can be an eager companin for certain soldiers.If I became Emporer whilst in the field I would march on Rome after a vote by the soldiers,who hated the spoiled pretorians and disband them amongst the legions.My bodyguard in Rome would be chosen by myself and would change on a two year basis!Their wages would.d be a set rate that moved with the economy.Why they should be paid three times more than a front.ine fighting soldier is just plain wrong!
That's fair. I do tend to agree with you. It's generally accepted that Rome lasted until the fall of Constantinople, but there are good arguments to be made that it ended long before that.
Want to be an emperor? There is 90% chance you’ll be murdered by the very guards who are supposed to protect you. 😅 What a trip. To be a Roman emperor was almost certain to end by murdered or forced to commit suicide. Who wouldn’t want that position?!
Augustus made and destoyed rome buy his own rules they never changed in time that was the bigest problem and in the end they lose everyting because of all the enemies Augustus made
13:47 i thought marcus aurelius was murdered by his son commodus??? i saw a documentary where commodus suffocated marcus during a seemingly heartfelt embrace. *jokes*

@@diorocks5858 Thanks, brother! Sulla was dictator during the Republican era. He did become dictator for a few years, but retired and returned power to the people after he had implemented his reforms. I think they don't give him enough credit for that in popular history.

“Murdered by his own pretorian guard” seems to be the theme here.
You'd think the emperors would have learned the lesson after the first few such cases.
With guards like these, who needs enemies…
These guys had the life expectancy of a Red Army soldier fighting on the Eastern Front.
“His reign was brief… his reign was brief….his reign didn’t last long….his reign was short lived…” Holy crap, Rome. Chill out.
It looks like a lot of these reigns were like 20 years while the average president is 8
