The Republic was never dissolved or anything, Augustus Octavian was celebtated for 'restoring the Republic' while becoming the first emperor. The Senate was still active at this point, even plotting against the emperor, it wasn't until Diocletian that republican values and the Roman legal system was reduced to a eastern (mostly Persian) style despotic monarchy with subjects instead of citizens. At the same time the peasent class, who were losing rights and prestige and the agrarian slaves, who on the other hand were gaining some rights and status begun to merge and form the serf class thus starting the late- roman feudalism, putting emphasis on the villa and the land, instead of the cities which started an era of desolation, de-urbanisation and demographic decline.

It must have been a nightmarish task to try and unite an country as huge as the Roman Empire. Just imagine that the emperor died, without a clear successor and you have the support of maybe 3 or 4 legions when you rise to emperorship. Nearly no one in the empire knows your name, it will take weeks to even notify regional commanders and governors of the change in leadership, a change of which they will be vary of and rightly so. To them you are just a name they do not know and pledging their allegiance might hurt their future prospects when inevitably someone challenges your rule. Without a steady dynasty, where simply the name is enough to invoke loyalty, these would-be emperors, capable as they may have been, were set up to fail. It is a testament of how solid the Roman administration was that the empire was able to survive for centuries in times when the government was more often than not practically without a head of state.

Holy shit! A video here like every other day

The commander of the garrison correctly guessed the legionnaires' card, and thus they raised him to the imperial purple.

Elevated to the Purple by the troops, and urged into a deadly defeat by the troops. Caesar would maybe have prescribed riding lessons. Although Kniva's strategy was brilliant. A simple plan but almost entirely fail-proof.

In the 3rd century, it's like the Legions raised everyone to the Imperial Purple, but then quickly changed their tune and killed him if the Emperor lost a battle. I wouldn't even want to be Emperor during this time.

When I hear that little note at the start I get a nice feeling that something good is coming! 😁🤣👍

All praise to Cniva, a brilliant germanic general.

As always, "Well done Lads," not many speak or teach of Cneva! Total War should do more advertising through K&Gs. The only time I don't end up playing after a battle video is when I'm watching on break at work!

And now I'm back, after rewatching Unbiased History of Rome's Crisis of the Third Century. Oh chad Gallienus.

Guys, what’s the name if the soundtrack at 9:35 onwards? I know it’s from epidemic sound but the link doesn’t take me to the soundtracks name... pls help me, i love to listening these soundtracks !

At the time of battle Herrenius was already rised to title of Augustus which is important detail in that sense it makes Abrittus the only battle in which two Roman Emperors were killed.

Can you guys cover the battles of Cortenuova, Parma and Fossalta? They were battles fought between the Italian League of Lombardy and the Holy Roman Empire in the 13th century.

This was epic.

Why do u post vids not connected to the previous vid? It makes it more confusing btw love ur channel always watching the newest vid

Great work guys, as always, you just need to work on better maps, they really make visuals more interesting, for example a colored geographical map, it's simple but can make a huge difference, Epic history and Invicta use this style a lot. Consider this a very friendly feedback, I really love you guys, your work is amazing.

It’s unfathomable how short-sighted the soldiers were when they prepared to overthrow every emperor because they couldn’t pay enough

3rd century crisis is one of the best documentary

The name Cniva is strange. I never heard a person name in German or Nordic which reminds of it ,maybe except Knud But maybe it was a nickname given to him because of his actions in life. Cniva could then mean something like knifer or knife It also could mean sharp as a knife (clever) ,in newer swedish "knivig" Strangly fitting is also the german/dutch/danish/old norse word which in modern danish is "knibe" ,swedish "knipa" and old norse "hnippa" This word means Pinch or Squeeze. Like Cniva pinched and squeezed the romans in the swamp.

Such chaotic, yet interesting era it is. Surely not much so for citizens living that period.

Do you guys produce with/for 4k monitors? It's often impossible to read the text of names without pausing and getting 6 inches from the screen with my 2k.

How will you celebrate reaching 1 million subscribers 😀

Kings and Generals what about a million milliseconds, 11 1/2 days off, just for the sake of 1 million subscribers, perfect 12 day rest, and then everyone can speculate as to whether you died or not! Just kidding everyone will get super annoyed but fuck em!

I've got comments all over YT about poor pronunciations so I would be remiss if I didn't point out that the hard K vs soft C pronunciations in this channel, (aside from Caesar - forgiven,) warm my heart.
