      Are you reviewing your videos after you upload them to RUclips? I don’t know how you are missing this, but the audio in every video you upload to RUclips is far, far too quiet. The problem is wildly apparent in each of your videos and makes you channel unwatchable. I’m one video away from unsubscribing because it’s extremely difficult to hear what you are saying.
      Right-click on this video and select “Stats for Nerds”. From there, you will see that RUclips measures the audio in this video as 11.8 dB too quiet. 11.8 dB is HUGE. A 5 dB deficit is very noticeable, which means your video at almost 12 dB too quiet is beyond unacceptable. In order to hear what you are saying, I have to blast the volume on my device. “That’s not a big deal.”, you say? Well sure, until the next video on RUclips plays and my ears are destroyed by the loud volume because the other creators know how to properly export their videos for RUclips. You really, really, really need to address this export problem with your videos because they are unwatchable as they currently stand.
      I don’t know what program you use to export video, but there is information out there for nearly every program that will help you achieve the proper export settings. For example, here’s a video about using Adobe Premiere: ruclips.net/video/GBH0BFvCLAA/видео.html
      I beg you, please address this problem with your channels. Your content seems like it might be excellent, but any positive qualities of your videos is completely overridden by the inaudible narration. No one has any business subscribing to a channel where we cannot hear the videos.

      I've just compared the volume of the three most recent videos from this channel to the volumes of the latest three videos I've viewed from my library, each of these three are from different channels and one of them is from a popular news outlet. I found that the difference in volume was
      negligible with only the volume on the news channel being slightly higher than the other five videos.

    Pete, many do history themed films, documentaries, indie shorts on every conceivable topic but you stand alone. Your manner, phrasing, passion for your material sets you apart and while I often wish you could pump one of these films out every week I know I'm talking rubbish. I retired from teaching (because of the lockdown) but when I did have classes I could never find a way to squeeze it all in about Rome, and oddly enough, the students always wanted more! This was worth the wait, as all your films are, there is no one like you in this field Pete Kelly!

Despite creating my channel, my mixes using dj skills that I’ve learnt over the past 20 years. Uploading videos, promoting and artwork. Apparently none of that counts because I’m playing music that commercially available so all proceeds go to the record labels and not a penny to me. The person who’s created the mix, video and drawn in revenue. I do it for the love of it. But it’s always bugged me. Welcome to the club. Hopefully they will reverse this for you.

    Nice video. I always wondered why teachers at school would say that the roman empire ended in 476 when it would have been much better to say 1453, being the empire did not shutdown and get recreated as the Byzantine empire and the people called themselves Roman although they had lost the city of Rome. Maybe one could consider these last holdouts around the Black Sea.

    Its surprising how many ancient things are a few inches under the soil .
    Ive found bronze age artifacts, iron age , Celtic, Roman, Saxon, medieval, Tudor etc..

    Just imagine if there wasn't all the internal backstabbing/treachery within the Roman state, how much longer the Roman Empire would have lasted? One can make the sound argument that "the fall of Rome" was not from any external enemy, but rather from the enemies from within... As duscussed in this video, even in Rome's collapsed state/end times, there were still chances to repair it yet internal treachery prevented it. In my opinion of civilizations and their collapse, it's more often due to "the fall from within" rather than any one great seige or battle. Most are wrongly taught and or have the impression of the later. Rome did not fall when the Visagoths and Vandals sacked the city, Rome fell internally long before those events. To further put into perspective, the exact same thing is happening today in Europe and especially in USA. History my friends does repeat itself because "history" is the psychology and repeatative actions of man.

    Thank you for pointing out the fallacy of Voltaire’s statement about the Holy Roman Empire; the institution of the emperor and concept of universal imperium meant that the emperor was viewed with great reverence as once of the most powerful monarchs in the world.
    This was true even by the time of Voltaire, by which point, as he so crudely points out, the empire had become quite disunited - even at that stage the Habsburg Holy Roman emperors held enormous sway over international geopolitics, even if beginning their long, slow decline which ended in their deposition in 1918.

    Wow I'm surprised it's taken you so long to get an editor. You vids are massive, a researcher or two would probably be useful on some of the obscure/specific episodes (thinking local expert, or someone digging through the archives). Not because you're work isn't top notch, rather your vids are massive the work involved is insane. And selfishly I want more content. 😂

    Great overview in general and extremely entertaining, but I'm surprised Gemistos Plethon was not on this list. Surely he's a claimant to the title "last of the Romans" as he was the last great philosopher of the Greco-Roman tradition? Really see his writings and ideas as an important (arguably the most important) bridge between the Eastern Roman world and the Renaissance. He's very worthy of the title "last of the Romans".

    If anyone's particularly interested in the subject I strongly recommend Schwerpunkt's videos series, in particular the Late Antiquity and Migration Era playlist. That's A LOT of deep stuff and terribly insightful analysis of every single political, military and social factor in literally hundreds of videos, often segmented according to region, century, etc. It's all a much more complex thing than usually depicted but this channel seems to me the one that makes sense of it the best way.

    Constantine XI Dragases Palaiologos is the last Roman emperor. The last Roman emperor that was born in Rome, a true Roman, was Anicius Olybrius.
