Rome wasn't the capital by then, and the Visigoths just took the gold without negotiation. We know that they didn't take all the gold, as both the Vandals and (ironically enough), the Eastern Roman Empire took more. The gold which was on the Pantheon's roof was taken by an Eastern Roman Emperor, btw.

Decadence begins when the gold spent on displaying wealth exceeds that spent on defending it. The rampant corruption meant that provinces were highly localized administrations and not extensions of the Senate in transit ie the Imperator aka the Caesar's will. Flavius Aetius, Stilicho, Marjorian- all three of them were figures who could have saved Rome. But there were all victims of the Power Sharing Paradox as presented by Isaac Asimov. Basically whenever you have any combination of a general and an Emperor, typically one of them will betray the other. Typically. Stilicho and Aetius were killed by their Emperors, Marjorian was betrayed by his co-ruler. Rome could have survived if the will to make the Empire survive prevailed among its citizenry and its elites as much as it did among its rulers. Like I said... decadence- when sons have grown fat on their father's toils without understanding the whys or wherefores. The patricians owned vast tracts of land thry did not work appropriately and had to rely on slaves to do the work. While honest citizens were denied good farmland.

@@anirbanbhattacharya9185 yeah, I've always had the notion that a strong sense of nationalism instilled and indoctrinated into the roman people throughout its' classes could have saved them, as soldiers would be less likely to flee and fight more fiercely, and the rulers and generals would have been working more towards the benefit of the empire than their own.

Afro Man True but by the law of unintended consequences it did result in a rather bad affair as when Rome was attacked after being lazy and paying off a invader for decades, they’ve alienated former allies by saying they weren’t considered Roman based on race That may also be at fault to the Roman education system- See James Madison, Cicero’s criticism of the education system and the Greek slave education system compared to today’s it’s nearly the same and the function is the same just with different wording However that is Ethnicity passing off as nationality and neglect of the government for doing the opposite of what Rome did before which was alienate and isolate themselves

It should be noted that 4-5 centuries later when Ceasar invaded Gaul, he was surprised to find out that the druids there knew the exact date when Rome was sacked by Brennus. The Gauls were not as barbaric and as divided as the Romans thought they were and they actually had a common history although it was probably orally passed down rather than being written.

It would be great if a timeline was shown whenever dates were mentioned. As the dates keep piling on, it would help the viewers keep track of events. Ex. You mentioned the barbarian invasions and proceeded to talk about the first sacking of Rome. It would be great to see the time difference on a timeline. Then you can zoom in on the actual time frame (the first sacking) and show dates/events in that era.

I find the idea of Roman hoplites so much more appealing than their later legionaries. To me, it gives the early Roman wars something more romantic.

I remember reading that people died of heartattacks when hearing news that Hannibal was outside Rome. In that kind of political system, I'm pretty sure there was a lot of political fearmongering going on...which was probably what kept their hatred of the Gauls alive.

really cool. interesting side note-- there is no contemporary Roman History preceding this event, as the sack destroyed virtually all previously collected public records. so every "historical" event, like the founding of Rome, or the rules of the kings, or the Brutus Revolt, the Horatii, the Fabian War, or even Coriolanus, are all from the oral tradition, family legends, and rumors.

Glad you pointed out the hoplite type warfare early romans did. I hope Total War replicates that in their new DLC!

It is amazing to watch this video and to then think of William Shakespeare's brilliant play Commodus. Shakespeare's play seemed to capture the complexity of Commodus, a man who was a great military strategist and tactician, could not fathom the importance that the people's will had in politics. And this video also seems to capture that dichotomy while presenting the reality of Rome's inner political turmoil.

Thanks! Indeed, when you read the ancient sources, it becomes clear that there was a discontent between the aristocrats and the commoners. It is a very common theme, both in the Roman and the Greek politics.

Romans: "Its over gauls i have the high ground!" Gauls: "you underestimate my power!"

Romans: "You underestimate my Geese"

Excellent summary ... appreciate the explanation of the civil war that led to the Consular Tribunes. The perennial struggle between the Political Elites and the Plebeians. Please elaborate how this shaped Roman developments

You guys are damn good. I was just watching Invicta's newest video "The Rise of Rome" last night and listening to Dan Carlin's "Celtic Holocaust" earlier. Then you release this. Love this channel.

And by the way,had a quick question:I didn't see the sponsorship advertisement at the bedinning of this one,and I'm a little confused! Do you mind if I ask whether the sponsors choose the topic of the videos?whats your procedure of picking the topics? Anyway as I always say,you ROCK! .

@KingsandGenerals

No, we choose the topics, and then the sponsors decide if they want to sponsor it.
