  • Deep within the heart of the British Museum is a mysterious and strange artefact - a telephone that only appears when inquisitive children have burning questions about history for British Museum curators.
    This time the History Hotline appears on Roman archaeology curator Carolina de Lima’s desk, which means some of you must be studying the ancient Roman empire! This video was created in collaboration with schools, to work as an educational resource for ages 7-11 years, but it’s also great for families and adults to enjoy too!
    If you want to find out even more about the ancient Roman empire, our exhibition Legion: life in the Roman army is on until June 23, 2024.
    Find out more here: bitly.cx/L6f4
    Children under 16 get free entry when accompanied by an adult.
    You can also explore our educational resources and programming on our website. bitly.cx/z5LRI

    Dear Dr. de Lima,
    Could you please just answer the questions;
    For instance:
    The Roman Empire lasted for just shy of 1500 years, starting with Emperor Augustus in 30 B.C.E
    and ending with Emperor Constantine IX in 1452 AD.
    Kindly avoid going on tangents.

      If you think you're better why aren't you employed by the British Museum? Or try doing this on your own channel which I'm sure is very popular.
      You get that the idea was to make this for children, right? They need some context and stuff that is more accessible for them. Your answer is so dry and would leave a child with more questions.

      Lack of self confidence and technical skill
      (Got a mic., no idea how to use it)
      explains my lack of channel
      You are right, the first draft was rather dry,
      try this:
      "The Roman Empire lasted just shy of 1500 years.
      It began after a bloke calles Gaius Julius Caesar,his mates Pompey and Crassus;
      Devised a sneaky little plot to overthrow the Roman Republic. Since none of them survived the conspiracy, Caesars cousin Octavian inherited the title of Princeps Empirator.
      A head of the Senate, and totally not a king.
      Romans where allergic to kings.
      This pretend democracy lasted about 400 years, before somebody (I forgot who dissolved the senate) decided that this expensive pretense was not worth it.
      But in those four hundred years the senate survived several mad emperors: including
      Emperor Nero, who would recite his terrible songs to them.
      Emperor Calligula, who was rumoured to have named his horse proconsul, which is like a lord in the house.
      And Emperor Elagaballus, but that one is not suitable for children.
      "
      By the way, I'm unemployed, so if you want to hire me, just ask.

      Ah, yes, random RUclips commenter - you really know more than a curator at the British Museum.
      He was born in a Roman province in Libya, in North Africa. He was described as "of the Libyan Race". He was so far after the phoenicians that they shouldn't even enter into the picture here - but if you insist, his ancestors on his father's side were Punics who settled in North Africa, so technically yes, he is a distant descendant of the phoenicians.
      And, come on. Look at his portrait. His honest-to-god made-during-his-life portrait. My man was black. End of story.
      And anyway, she never referred to him as black. She referred to him as 'of African Descent'. So I genuinely don't understand what you're on about.
