    Once in a museum, the thing I enjoyed the most was a timeline of such elders complaints. First it was the books that were such a terrible thing, that children did nothing more than read. Then it was the horrible way of buying ink instead of mixing their own ink. Then it was the pens that were the cause of children being little shits, because they were so used to having things made for them, instead of preparing their own quills.... On and on until the last one that was quoting the evil thing called smartphone. I laughed so much at all that.

    there was a story about Julius Caesar as a teenager where it was pretty much the "kids these days... show no respect". Sula was the dictator and he pretty much put up public hit lists against his political enemies and Caesar was on it, for being the grandson of one of Sula's opponents i think. Caesar's friends negotiated Sula to remove his name and Caesar was invited to Sula's home to show his gratitude. Instead Caesar dressed sloppily and glared at Sula. Sula honored his promise of freeing Caesar but said "he will destroy everything we wish to preserve" referring to Caesar's future of overthrowing the republic.

    People start going through puberty a lot earlier nowadays. It's a weird phenomenon that I don't recall ever finding out the true cause of. Probably better nutrition plus messed up hormones from excess estrogen, progestin, etc. For example, women started going through puberty around 14 - 16 back in the 1800's. Nowadays, women are pretty much fully grown by 16, excepting a couple of stragglers.

    When talking about the mad emperors, always remember that historical sources are not reliable ^^ Nero was not very loved when he ruled, and the thing Romans loved the most about history was to invent bad stories about the men they don't like, especially politicians. Kinda like a social network today, throw some gossips on a person, and let him justifying about things he never did XD But, they do that with history too, because history was not considered a science that had to record exact things, it is considered like a tool to use for politicians. If you add to this that Nero was one of the first emperors to persecute christians and that we see roman emperors mostly through a christian historiography, Nero was most certainly darken a lot ^^

Yes, he was not kind with the Senate, because he had to fight two conspiracies, but he was not a bad Emperor, just an Emperor who was not liked by the Patricians of Rome ^^ And, weirdly enough, Suetone and Tacitus, our two main sources on Nero who relate all kind of horrors about him related that 40 years later, and were Patricians ^^

    If you understand Spanish or Latin, it should sound very familiar as these names like Secunda and Tretia are nouns that are of the female sense and would be exclusively given to females. This is true in modern day Spanish as it is known today. And now that I'm here, when I think about it, this new age politically correct form of non-binary gender politics among certain groups of people today would certainly not welcome the type of Spanish that I grew up with. Hundreds, thousands of books in early learning would have to be revised and, in a very idealistic way of a coming totalitarian utopia, be denied for teaching our young kids today.

    Well…most of that 50% child mortality was due to medical issues or infectious diseases (90%), not abandonment. Until about the 1900s, it was pretty standard that if you wanted 3 kids to reach adulthood, you needed to give birth to 6 and watch half die of illness (go to older cemeteries and you can see this). Vaccines stopped that, saved literal millions and somehow…we know largely hate them.

    It wasn't always a tragic end for these poor children! There's a better outcome that didn't get mentioned (probably because it wasn't a major thing for a lot of Roman history) but oftentimes, Christians would rescue any infants that they found abandoned on the streets and raise them as their own within the faith! This pissed off a lot of the upper crusts of Rome because they saw it as allowing "unfit" children to live and supposedly drag down the Empire's gene pool or something. After Christianity was adopted by the wider empire under Constantine's rule there were laws passed that cracked down on this practice and afforded greater protection of the infants, recognizing them as human beings no matter if they were wanted or not. After this it became much more common for children to be dropped off at monasteries, or if still abandoned, rescued and then raised within a monastery. So a lot of them still got chances to live long, happy lives!

    Roman kids were subjected to physical abuse for basically any reason, instilling the obedience to superiors necessary for a military life in becoming a soldier in those times. Obviously nowadays we know that physical abuse is one of the worst things you can do to a child. And these norms that we're told about in the video would probably only apply to the wealthier families, I doubt most poor Romans would recieve any education at all.

    @Ucallit 71 Telling, that humanity for you is nothing but technology and some ominous, esoteric 'human nature'. No mention of humans as social beings, allthough that should be obvious as its most essential part. Especially living in times, where pratically nothing we wear, use or consume is produced by ourselves but in an intricate social division of labour incorporating millions of people. People are composed of other people and produced by the respective social relations. Our whole individuality is constructed only in difference to one another. 10 people on 10 lonely islands are all the same, everyone has to take care of the same basic needs, but 10 people on one not-so-lonely island and people are able to specialise, to differentiate themselves. Individuality emerges. The defining aspects of human life are created socially. If you repeatedly beat your child senseless, then you shouldnt be surprised its puberty will be overly rebellious as soon it is able to break out of this violent structure. The biological constants in this reagrd are negligible and continue to lose importance as the human 'second nature' becomes more and more socially and consciously constructed. In this context, the recourse to a cristallised human nature is simply arbitrary and unfounded.

Split lips were a by monthly thing in my family, some times I "really" provoked it. As a teenager we had "dog fights." In my late 20's I had to deal with out of towners from different parts of the States with the Hood mentality , who though they were All That. I slap a few of they senseless like my mom did to me more than a few times as a child/ young teen. The " Gangstas " found out after I made them look really stupid a few times in a row in front of their hommies. I was raised as mean as a WWII Nazi, and by the Klingon Code of Khaless , Hitler should have been killed for incompetence. in my world view, it is not child abuse to lightly slap them down till they are in a crying ball on the ground screaming life is unfair. It is all about " cause & effect." And when grandma punch us grandchildren we KNEW We were being more than mouthy. If you want to watch fiction on what it is to be a Man in life. Here are two tv series you can find the" best clips of" on youtube Gun Smoke The Riffleman Star Trek, TNG, and DS9. The writers and actors of these shows had show me some of the hardships a man has to face in their lives. When I face some of these hardships I was just sad.I sad was cause I knew what I was dealing with was real and not fiction. Some people are so dumb and hateful, the only way you can keep them from constantly coming at you is really slap them down hard, then twist their wrist out of joint. The best advice I can give you you is be polite, up beat, look for the best in things and people, and never trust anyone within arms' reach of yourself. If someone insults your virtue , firmly let them know you will not be walked on. This is coming from a 42 year old that has seen 35 years of b.s.

Your first statement was ignorant, not in a bad way, just in a “I’ve heard this before therefore I’m going to repeat it” we all do stuff like that. But your second comment made me realize you can’t be trusted around kids. Ever. I fear for any child that’s around you if you truly feel that just because a girl can menstruated she has reach full adult level maturity. And even if menstruation meant the body had hit adult level maturity, which it doesn’t, maturity has nothing to do with the body and everything to do with the brain. And both men and women’s brains stop developing in their mid 20s. Further development can happen as you learn new skills such as learning new languages or oddly enough, becoming a cab driver because you tend to remember in detail different routes and it changes the way your brain looks on MRIs. The average age of menstruation is 12 although it is standard for girls between 10 and 15 to start. Anyone outside of that range is an outlier and should not be counted as the norm or even as the somewhat normal. I was one of those girls. I started menstruating at 7 and yes, my body did start to develop but if I posted a picture of 7 year old me and 26 year old me, you would be able to see that my 7 year old body looks nothing like my 26 year old body. And in theory, yes, I could have had a kid at 7 but I most likely would have had a lot of issues with the pregnancy because my body was not fully developed and my birthing canal was still too soft/fragile to push another human out. You need to go back and take some basic anatomy classes, a human development class, a class about puberty and what it means for the human body and most certainly stay away from playgrounds, schools, and anywhere else children tend to congregate because you’re the type of person that made my father cover me in baggie clothing when I was 7.

Now immagine that said Pedagogus has a set list of prejudices, that lead to him just punushing the child at any "problematic" topic instead of bothering himself with explaination. What will such a kid learn in their life? Just to parrot what their teacher said. Not to think for themself, but desperately cling on to something someone told them many years ago and then forced to accept with physical threat.

    ​@wearealltubes Up to the 1800s rich families might hire a tutor for their son; they used to be taught that way but usually the tutor would take them places, travel to different locations to broaden their experience. Some took their charge abroad for a few weeks and returned, esp. when the son was older. Rich people today sometimes do this I expect; they wouldn't want their kids to go to a public school system, or even a private school: That would be for upper middle class yuppie types or below. I imagine the ideal would be to find a tutor of great character first and foremost; the rest would follow naturally from being righteous and upright. At least that would be the idea. But many busy wealthy tycoons may actually be narcissistic (self-centered) sociopaths who see their wife, mistresses and children as mere appendages. It was the same in Roman times. Herod "the Great" (an Idumaean Arab working for the Romans and trying hard to fit in as a Roman) killed his wives and almost all his own children. Thankfully he died a horrible death in his own bed.

    Most boys who wore the toga praetexta were at least fairly well off, as they were full Roman citizens. Slaves, peregrini, etc. were forbidden to wear any toga and did not enjoy the legal protection that the toga praetexta signified. The idea that society had a duty to protect children did not apply to all children, or even most children, in ancient Rome. The toga praetexta was a marker of which kids were considered worthy of protection, and which kids had to fend for themselves. The purple band advertised that Roman authority would come down on whoever harmed the child (unless it's the paterfamilias or under the paterfamilias' direction, in which case tough shit, kid).

    The issue is, Lavender purple was expensive due to the crushed shells it was made from in the Med.

    Excellent video as usual. But all I can think of is: 1) You need to include some shots from "I, Claudius" as well and 2) It's really about time somebody made a third series as good as "I, Cladius" and "Rome". Two major epic series just isn't enough, in my view.

    Roman culture and history is such a perfect hindsight in visions and lessons of things that worked for a blended society. These are wonderful educational information to enhance and/or ignite more study/curiosity. Thank you!

    Wow, man your content is reaching a whole new level. I'm tired of seeing history channels covering merely a campaign or the same few battles while ignoring the entire civilisation behind history. I am anxiously looking forward to your content, and I would love to see other a "growing up" episode on medieval Europe/Rome as well :) Keep it up!

    @@cv4809 That's...pretty much the same thing. A number isn't a very good distinct identifier. Imagine if your brothers got to be Junior and Backup Junior while you and your sisters were Surname First, Surname Second. "Second took my doll!" "Pass the olives Fourthie." Seems like it would get confusing real quick, especially if you spent a lot of time with cousins.

For example, the first Julia would be called Julia, Julia Secunda could be called Julilla, and Julia Tertia could be called Julianna. Or some other little nickname as the parents saw fit.
