You should do a collab with Maiorianus, as both of you do great vids on unknown but interesting bits of roman history.

I love Maiorianus' passion, that'd be a cool collab, the Man has so much to say.

Aurelian was EXCEPTIONAL.

I love the music in the background, gives these videos more gravitas! Well done!

Fantastic video. Been looking forward to this upload

If Pupienus and Balbinus are not the worst named Roman Emperors I have to hear what is worse then those two.

Avrelian, praises be vpon Him, stands as the *only* emperor to be in the “Exceptional” rank. This is all that matters in making this list a 10/10 list.

Its a great little book.

Great discussion PS Aurelian gang

I want to dispute the idea that Alexander was anything more than actively bad, if not aweful. As you say, length of time proves nothing. And what Alexander did was govern so horribly that he set up all of what came after him. The bureaucracy, the focus on the military as a tool of power, the mismanagement of said military, and his bad policies are what led to the disaster of his last year, and of the emperors after him.

21/6/242. You really need to turn that music up to maximum volume. It's not irritating or distracting in any way and it's totally necessary to drown out the narrative.

Like Aurelius Victor and Zosimus, I am also a fan of Trajanus Decius.

I have a question that I was hoping you could help me with. Did the Eastern Romans celebrate the 2000 year anniversary of the founding of the city of Rome? I thought they might have since they were the descendants of it? I know they celebrated the 1000 year anniversary, but I didn’t know if they celebrated the 2000 year anniversary. Did the know 2000 years had passed or did they even care? Thanks.

I believe the two thousandth anniversary would fall in the thirteenth century during the period of the Nicaean Empire. As far as I am aware no such celebration took place.

I wonder if Innocent IV would have celebrated 2000 years since the foundation of the city or if he forgot. 1247 AD I believe. Baldwin II was Latin Emperor in the East. John Doukas III Vatazez was the Nicean Emperor. Manuel I Trebezond Empire, Michael II Komnenos Doukas was Despot of Epirus. Demetrios Angelos Doukas was Emperor of Thessalonica but that fell the year before. Wouldn't be surprised if they all missed it due to tenuous connections to Rome and the distance from it's pagan past.
