You are the best historian I have EVER heard. No exaggeration. You provide clear, intelligible historical information, while at the same time providing entertaining banter and humor, which keeps the listener interested even through otherwise dry sections. Excellent job, Thersites, and I know you will have a long and prosperous career! Roma Invicta!
Good video, in my opinion Liberius had an interesting life, it's such a shame that he's overlooked by many. It would be great if you make a video about Majorian
Awesome video about awesome man. I don't know any RUclipsr other than you that makes me interested in 40 minute long documentaries. Thanks for adding Liberius to my list of best Romans.
This is a great way to showcase the continuation of roman culture and institutions after the fall of the western empire! I can't help but wonder what might have happened if Justinian chose to restore the Western Empire given that he had Italy and Africa
I find it interesting that Liberius did not try and déposé the Ostrogoths in an attempt to make himself western Roman emperor, he seemed very capable and well liked by both Romans and Ostrogoths to a degree. He may have been able to raise an army of Ethnic Roman’s, as well as Frankish or Burgundian mercenaries in order to overthrow Theodoric
He patronized people who said he was great. Also, Ostrogothic Italy was probably the most prosperous of the post-Roman kingdoms in the West, so he could claim to bring peace and prosperity.
@@ThersitestheHistorianI agree completely! The Ostrogothic Kingdom can even be considered an improvement over the later years of the Western Roman Empire!
Ostrogoth, Visigoths,Vandals were Vikings barbarians,it took them 800 years when they saw a true civilization to become humans,Africans were more polite

That's high praise and I appreciate it.
@@ThersitestheHistorian You deserve it!
6th century A.D.? A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.

A long detailed video at that!

And parts of Spain.
Fantastic video, congratulations man!
I do yearn for a time when you get a better mic though :D
Great presentation! Didn't even know of this guy.
Looks like Liberius' family were rapidly gaining status during his early life.
Perhaps they were good at getting along with Goths.
I find it interesting that Liberius did not try and déposé the Ostrogoths in an attempt to make himself western Roman emperor, he seemed very capable and well liked by both Romans and Ostrogoths to a degree.

Nice vid as always
He lived 89 years,not bad
yes
Theodoric the great?
From where he was great?
Oh his love about poetry i guess
He patronized people who said he was great. Also, Ostrogothic Italy was probably the most prosperous of the post-Roman kingdoms in the West, so he could claim to bring peace and prosperity.
