He was killed by his officers but okay. A lowly clerk who had committed an act of corruption which Aurelian was know to be merciless in his scouring of forged documents in Aurelians name accusing his officers of treason and ordering their deaths. They killed him, learned the truth and in sorrow and rage tied the fucker up in the woods and let the animals devour him.
In the 3rd century crisis: Antioch (romes 3rd biggest city) and Athens (romes 5th) were sacked twice each, corinth, carthage, and syracuse were sacked, Rome was almost sacked twice by the alemanni, 30 emperors rose and fell, over half of the empire died from plague, two breakaway empires formed, hyperinflation made coins LITERALLY 100 TIMES LESS VALUABLE, and the persians invaded six times. It’s SO HARD to wrap your head around how many problems the romans faced at once, and even HARDER to wrap your head around how rome managed to survive for another 1200 FUCKING YEARS! Unbelievable…

Watching the crisis of the third century then seeing Aurelian step in and save it all makes me happy and sad at the same time, the fact he only ruled for 5 years makes me so mad
It makes me mad too that several times really efficient and successful emperors were killed by their own soldiers. Cutting down a man who was helping protect their families from invaders.

Early Roman Republic history be like: Italians - "everybody gang up on the Trojan kid!" Romans - "what you fail to understand is that You are in here with ME!"
1. Italics. Not Italians. The concept of Italian was actually created by Romans much later. 2. Romans, as Latins, were also Italics. Furthermore, Etruscans and Southern Italy’s Hellens were not Italics themselves. 3. Etruscans are actually thought to have been Bronze age Anatolians. Possibly even Trojans. There is no actual evidence for Romans being Trojan (however since there is a lot of evidence that Etruscans may have been from eastern Anatolia and migrated around 1200 BC, a.k.a from the region to Troy not much after it’s distruction. And we know for certain many Roman elites, including Romulus were part Etruscans, that may aswell be the origin of Roman legends). So it would be more accurate to say: Some Italics, people who we actually have evidence (and most historians agree) were Trojans, and Hellens - “let’s gang up on the kid going to war and defeating everybody, whom used to be part of some of our leagues or federations before they made their own. Romans - “what you fail to understand is that I am going to be defeated several times, however since the Etruscans used to be dominant power due to their large population and food production, and I am in the perfect position to take over their declining federation, I am going to be taking their place as the dominant power now. This time using a slightly more centralized system”.

Source : Illyria historical region, Europe, Encyclopaedia Britannica.
@@hegantank6495 The Illyrians are the ancestors of the current Albanians. The greatest scientific authorities of the world have pronounced themselves on the INDIGENOUS and Illyrian origin of the Albanians.

Eugene Pittard (🇫🇷) affirmed in 1916: "I have already said elsewhere that Albania seems to me to contain the most important archaeological and anthropological documents for what concerns the origins of the MOST ANCIENT POPULATIONS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA; populations that, at the dawn of history, we see appear under the name of Illyrians! Sources : (The peoples of the Balkans, antropological sketches, Neuchâtel / Paris)
@@hegantank6495 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD. It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë). Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect). But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD. Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes. It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe. It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

He probably meant the western Roman Empire. Some people treat the byzantines as a splinter state. Edit: Before you reply to me: This is not what I think, it’s just what some people think. No need to pull out an insult for this one.
I don't understand why the author of the vid posted 753 BC as the beggining of the empire, since that was only the FOUNDATION date of the CITY of ROME as a small city state in central Italy...it was still FAR from being an EMPIRE, which it only turned into by 27 BC through Augustus' ascension. Even the Byzantines in 1453 AD had at least some territories in Greece, Crimea and Anatolia, filling the minimum requirements to being considered a small Empire. Now, some people may argue the Roman mid and late republic could already be considered an empire in all but name by the moment they unified Italy and conquered Carthage.... which is a fair point. As an analogy, Colonial France was an empire even after Napoleon lll was ousted and the Second Republic rose up. Whatever the starting point you pick, the Roman Empire would have lasted from 1480 to 1679 contiguous years. A whoping record for any empire existing from late antiquity to the Modern Age. To put that in perspective, only the Persians, Indians and Chinese beat that... and they had huge demographic, geographic, and resource advantages Rome lacked in the form of: 1- Their huge rivers (Euphrates, Yangtze, Ganges, etc) surrounding/surrounded by huge plains of land that allowed them to produce amounts of crops Rome could only dream with. The latter had to import grain from Egypt and North Africa to stay afloat, European Rivers simply could not irrigate enough crops. 2- Natural features that isolated them from massive invasions of sedentary barbarians who were near impossible to assimilate (Himalayas, Gobi and Afgnan deserts) in the case of India and China. Persia had the steppes and deserts, which only allowed the pass of horse nomads that, historically, were easy to culturally assimilate. The germans, slavs and arabs that invaded Rome were not interested in assimilating. 3-And most importantly, the aforementioned advantages allowed their majority, population cores were always homogenous Han, Indians or Persians. This haooened mainly because of the huge plains surrounding their main rivers, were thweir population cores developped. On the other hand, Roman Italians and Greeks could never hope to become majority in their empires. European geography was too rugged and fractured.

Majorian is probably the last savior of the Western Roman Empire. That is why his death in the middle of his ambition in that manner is very regrettable. After his death, the Western Roman Empire was soon destroyed. If he had achieved his goal, the Western Roman Empire would have lasted a little longer. He was a great hero.
The Roman Empire, gone but never forgotten. Thanks for the history video, it was one of the best 37 minutes of my life, every second here is worth it, once again great job on the vid!
He didn't stop there, I mean many border provinces and armies did became rogue, and chaos emerges as Valerian was captured by the Sassanids. But despite all the anarchy, Gallienus was still able to protect the central provinces bordering the Danube, he crushed many barbarian invasions (most importantly the ones in Italy), he suppressed a lot of usurpers and gets a way to defend the East by entrusting Odaenathus of Palmyra to govern the Eastern provinces. Things were evening out eventually, he was able to recapture Spain from the Gallic Empire and was at the verge of crushing another rebellion under Aureolus. If he just hadn't got assassinated, I bet he can be as great as an emperor as Aurelian, I mean, the East is safe, he could repel the invasions by the Goths just like any other barbarian invasion, once that is done, the only border of the empire is safe and he could focus on reunifying the Western empire, there's a good chance he'll succeed.
Constantine was really someone. During his reign, the Roman Empire once again became that mighty empire that everyone feared. But as soon as he died, the sad reality came back in force.

It's interesting how fast Rome consolidated Italy with the Third Samnite War then the Pyrrhic War and then immediately dove into the First Punic War. Regardless of how they probably framed their enemies as the aggressors they must have felt like they had some duty, mandate, whatever higher purpose to expand or else they surely couldn't have kept up the morale to support decade after decade of war.

The truly interesting part when it comes to the fall of the Roman empire is that the Splinter states always manage to survive longer than the territory they separated from. Soissons survived the Fall of the Western Roman empire and only fell due to Franks onslaught, Nicea Trebizond and Epirus survived the Fall of the Eastern Roman empire, but Nicea which reunified the Empire fell first, Trebizond the one that kept considering itself an Empire until very late fell second and Epirus the weaker one that got rekt from all sides survived shattered the longest in a way

Antioch (romes 3rd biggest city) and Athens (romes 5th) were sacked twice each, corinth, carthage, and syracuse were sacked, Rome was almost sacked twice by the alemanni, 30 emperors rose and fell, over half of the empire died from plague, two breakaway empires formed, hyperinflation made coins LITERALLY 100 TIMES LESS VALUABLE, and the persians invaded six times.

Early Roman Republic history be like:
Italians - "everybody gang up on the Trojan kid!"
Romans - "what you fail to understand is that You are in here with ME!"
1. Italics. Not Italians. The concept of Italian was actually created by Romans much later.
2. Romans, as Latins, were also Italics. Furthermore, Etruscans and Southern Italy’s Hellens were not Italics themselves.
3. Etruscans are actually thought to have been Bronze age Anatolians. Possibly even Trojans. There is no actual evidence for Romans being Trojan (however since there is a lot of evidence that Etruscans may have been from eastern Anatolia and migrated around 1200 BC, a.k.a from the region to Troy not much after it’s distruction. And we know for certain many Roman elites, including Romulus were part Etruscans, that may aswell be the origin of Roman legends).
So it would be more accurate to say:
Some Italics, people who we actually have evidence (and most historians agree) were Trojans, and Hellens - “let’s gang up on the kid going to war and defeating everybody, whom used to be part of some of our leagues or federations before they made their own.
Romans - “what you fail to understand is that I am going to be defeated several times, however since the Etruscans used to be dominant power due to their large population and food production, and I am in the perfect position to take over their declining federation, I am going to be taking their place as the dominant power now. This time using a slightly more centralized system”.

Eugene Pittard (🇫🇷) affirmed in 1916: "I have already said elsewhere that Albania seems to me to contain the most important archaeological and anthropological documents for what concerns the origins of the MOST ANCIENT POPULATIONS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA; populations that, at the dawn of history, we see appear under the name of Illyrians!

@@hegantank6495 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD.
It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë).
Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect).
But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD.
Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes.
It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe.
It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

The Roman Empire ended in 1453, but good video nonetheless. Very detailed.
EDIT: video title was edited to 'Ancient' a few months back
He probably meant the western Roman Empire. Some people treat the byzantines as a splinter state.
Edit: Before you reply to me: This is not what I think, it’s just what some people think. No need to pull out an insult for this one.
I don't understand why the author of the vid posted 753 BC as the beggining of the empire, since that was only the FOUNDATION date of the CITY of ROME as a small city state in central Italy...it was still FAR from being an EMPIRE, which it only turned into by 27 BC through Augustus' ascension.
Even the Byzantines in 1453 AD had at least some territories in Greece, Crimea and Anatolia, filling the minimum requirements to being considered a small Empire. Now, some people may argue the Roman mid and late republic could already be considered an empire in all but name by the moment they unified Italy and conquered Carthage.... which is a fair point. As an analogy, Colonial France was an empire even after Napoleon lll was ousted and the Second Republic rose up.
Whatever the starting point you pick, the Roman Empire would have lasted from 1480 to 1679 contiguous years. A whoping record for any empire existing from late antiquity to the Modern Age.
To put that in perspective, only the Persians, Indians and Chinese beat that... and they had huge demographic, geographic, and resource advantages Rome lacked in the form of:
1- Their huge rivers (Euphrates, Yangtze, Ganges, etc) surrounding/surrounded by huge plains of land that allowed them to produce amounts of crops Rome could only dream with. The latter had to import grain from Egypt and North Africa to stay afloat, European Rivers simply could not irrigate enough crops.
2- Natural features that isolated them from massive invasions of sedentary barbarians who were near impossible to assimilate (Himalayas, Gobi and Afgnan deserts) in the case of India and China. Persia had the steppes and deserts, which only allowed the pass of horse nomads that, historically, were easy to culturally assimilate. The germans, slavs and arabs that invaded Rome were not interested in assimilating.
3-And most importantly, the aforementioned advantages allowed their majority, population cores were always homogenous Han, Indians or Persians. This haooened mainly because of the huge plains surrounding their main rivers, were thweir population cores developped.
On the other hand, Roman Italians and Greeks could never hope to become majority in their empires. European geography was too rugged and fractured.
@@genericchannelname4110 Well, they are frankly wrong. It was the Roman Empire from 27 BC (Augustus Caesar) until 1453 AD (Constantine XI Palaeologus).

This region was late Romanized. It was famous for its excellent soldiers, frustrated but courageous. In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men) ..
Let be honest. This is the Greatest Mighty Map Work on RUclips.
Damn, this is too beautiful, hope this video get its deserved recognition!
Why have a Hadrian profile picture and an Aurelian name? couldn't decide?
Gallienus was truly a good emperor and make a great job fighting the barbarian invasions and holding the empire in one of the worst moments of the crisis of the third century, is sad that the history did not recognize him like in the case of Aurelian.

I studied this at school and I should say that you did really a great job! Here at Rome we say “Roma caput mundi” which means Rome heading the world
After listening to the whole history of rome podcast this really makes you appreciate the humble beginnings and epicness of their scale even by the 2nd punic war to have the audacity to conquer land in illyria while hannibal is sitting it italy
Majorian is probably the last savior of the Western Roman Empire. That is why his death in the middle of his ambition in that manner is very regrettable.
After his death, the Western Roman Empire was soon destroyed. If he had achieved his goal, the Western Roman Empire would have lasted a little longer.
He was a great hero.
Anthemius also tried. The Battle of Cape Bon was the true no turning back point. Basiliscus should have been executed.

Damn, Gallienus was holding it together for the most part until the Gallic Empire broke off.
He didn't stop there, I mean many border provinces and armies did became rogue, and chaos emerges as Valerian was captured by the Sassanids. But despite all the anarchy, Gallienus was still able to protect the central provinces bordering the Danube, he crushed many barbarian invasions (most importantly the ones in Italy), he suppressed a lot of usurpers and gets a way to defend the East by entrusting Odaenathus of Palmyra to govern the Eastern provinces. Things were evening out eventually, he was able to recapture Spain from the Gallic Empire and was at the verge of crushing another rebellion under Aureolus. If he just hadn't got assassinated, I bet he can be as great as an emperor as Aurelian, I mean, the East is safe, he could repel the invasions by the Goths just like any other barbarian invasion, once that is done, the only border of the empire is safe and he could focus on reunifying the Western empire, there's a good chance he'll succeed.
Constantine was really someone. During his reign, the Roman Empire once again became that mighty empire that everyone feared. But as soon as he died, the sad reality came back in force.
Valentinian and Theodosius were also really good emperors. The empire didn't really start falling to pieces until that moron Honorius became emperor.
In Honorious' defense, the guy was 5 years old when Theodocian died, leaving him to be a puppet of many people, including Olympius, who ordered practically a genocide of families of around 12,000 Gothic soldiers loyal to Rome
@@bubastis6306 well theodosius basically commanded a force of mainly barbarians and mercenaries, makes you think that probably civil wars and persecuting pagans was not a good way to start things off for the empires last phase of existence.
@@bubastis6306 I'd say theodosius was just as paranoid and careless as constantius II.

The Imperator music was a REALLY nice touch, one thing they hit out the park was the music for that game. Gotta admire this video mate, must've took so long to do so well done here's to it blowing up with views. ROMA INVICTA
It's interesting how fast Rome consolidated Italy with the Third Samnite War then the Pyrrhic War and then immediately dove into the First Punic War. Regardless of how they probably framed their enemies as the aggressors they must have felt like they had some duty, mandate, whatever higher purpose to expand or else they surely couldn't have kept up the morale to support decade after decade of war.
This video is spectacular, no more words
Honestly, I put this on to have as background while I read a book about Rome after I realized it was all instrumental, it was very effective as background compared to what I normally listen to
I’m not crying you are

Dont cry because its over. Smile because it happened
After the 3rd century crisis ends, I always imagine the Romans as a bloodied boxer standing over a knocked out heap of bodies with the bell finally ringing.
the later , Eastern Roman Empire will show how to survive 1000 years :v Glory to Rome.
More like that's the one that lasted 1000 years. I don't understand why the author of the vid posted 753 BC as the beggining, since that was only the FOUNDATION date of the CITY of ROME as a small city state in central Italy...it was still FAR from being an EMPIRE, which it only turned into by 27 BC.
@@MrAlepedroza You're being too pedantic. It is understood by many that when one says "The Roman Empire", Pre-Empire Rome is included as well, and not merely the technically named "Empire" that began with its first emperor, Augustus.
for Serbs and other peoples in the Balkans they were just ordinary occupiers.

@@amanjain4005 What i have written it is not my aspect!! It is an old Russian concept!! according to this concept Medieval russians considered themselves as continuation of the Great Chrisian Empire that of Eastern Roman Empire!!! ()WIKIPEDIA)
"Moscow, Third Rome" is a theological and a political concept which was formulated in the 15th-16th centuries in the Tsardom of Rus.
In this concept, three interrelated and interpenetrating fields of ideas can be found:
a) Theology: that is linked with justification of necessity and inevitability of the unity of the Eastern Orthodox Church
b) Social policy: derived out of the feeling of unity in East Slavic territories being historically tied through Christian Eastern Orthodox faith and Slavic culture;
c) State doctrine: according to which the Moscow Prince should act as a supreme ruler (Sovereign and legislator) of Christian Eastern Orthodox nations and become a defender of the Christian Eastern Orthodox Church. Herewith the Church should facilitate the Sovereign in execution of his function supposedly determined by God, the autocratic administration.[

@@sm123c3 the mongol empire was, for a lack of a better term, funny. there is nothing really that great about it other than ¨haha stupid nomads make big country¨ and it only lasted for like 2 centuries before it broke apart.

The truly interesting part when it comes to the fall of the Roman empire is that the Splinter states always manage to survive longer than the territory they separated from.
Soissons survived the Fall of the Western Roman empire and only fell due to Franks onslaught, Nicea Trebizond and Epirus survived the Fall of the Eastern Roman empire, but Nicea which reunified the Empire fell first, Trebizond the one that kept considering itself an Empire until very late fell second and Epirus the weaker one that got rekt from all sides survived shattered the longest in a way
To my fellow Romaboos:
Instead of lamenting that it ended, let's celebrate the many times Rome perservered through many hardships.
This video is one such celebration. Good work, Tominus Maximus.
They forgot about The Eastern Roman Empire it seems.
@@sethfrisbie3957 They didn't; they lament the end of the all-encompassing antique Roman Empire, even if it continued as the smaller, medieval Eastern Roman Empire.

1:04 imagine how different history would be if the Romans lost that battle. The battle of Romem
Might not have changed much, Rome lost many times and was even sacked by the gauls multiple times but still got up and fought back. Hell, their last emperor Constantine IX died alongside his men in 1453, with a sword in his hand, and the empire died when their last city fell, they literally never gave up. One of the main reasons why they lasted over 2000 years including the byzantium empire.
@@samuellennon1984 Depends. It wasn't uncommon for city's to be whipped off the map entirely. Just look at Troy as an example. It also depends on how badly Rome would suffer. If Rome was weakened enough it might of allowed another group to come along an either conquer it, or just destroy it. The ancient world was a very unpredictable time.
Impressive resilience and continuity of civilization must have contributed a lot to the modern Western world.
Rome contributed to all civilizations
Armenia has had an amazing history which is often neglected in history.
