Great video!

Great video, almost didn't click on this. It's sadly a big gamble with small channels right now so much AI slop.

Thanks you for watching and leaving a comment! I will soon be working on making a video about Romes 3rd king Tullus Hostilius.

This looks interesting.

Interesting! I never payed much attention to the Roman kings, i lessened to Mike Duncan's pod "The History of Rome" and started looking up the king. Duncan says most parts are folketales of how they started, made up after. Where a religious king is fitting explaining why rituals are the way they are. A lot of pop culture just focus on the end of the republic or the empire when their is so much interesting things that happened before and not only Hannibal. But I would love a sad movie of the 3rd Punic war or a political movie/series of the Garcia brothers.

I too litsened to Mike Duncans podcast. He is one of my inspirations for making these videos!
Most history from this time period is mythical and has its origins in folktales, something i described in my video on Romulus. Alot of the sources used in this video are roman historians like Livy and Plutarch and they themselves knew that alot of the information was created later, but they still understood that these tales where important for the Roman consciousness. It was less about how true something was and more about what these stories where trying to convey and teach their contemporaries and decendants.
Thank you for watching the video and writing your comment!
