Yeah that's the Dutch way of saying, let's skip the formalities and get on with it!

the awkward opening was hilarious 😅

This is intresting. I don't often hear about The Netherlands, in relation to the Roman Empire.

Commenting to boost the Al Gore rhythm or something, idk

Strange, I am doing that too now! 😅

I would love more podcasts like this on the Roman Empire and their interactions with the native peoples in other provinces like Noricum and Balkan provinces.

Excellent show. The persistence of the low countries to the present day is better explained by their historical tenacity.

I hope you can make segments about Roman ruins and remains in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium and Switzerland. Really fascinating.

This was way more interesting than I initially expected-- Great interview!

This was great. It is fantastic to listen to these stories, about The Romans in the province Noord-Brabant, (the province under the Rhine river) where I was born and still live now.

This was extremely interesting, The frontier evolution is fascinating and Dr Roymans told me things even I (I know, I’m a bit obsessive) didn’t know. The separation between the Latin south and the Germanic north is infinitely interesting.

Aaaah, slow down! I can't keep up with the reading. I'm voraciously going through Adrian Goldsworthy's books (finished Augustus, almost done with How Rome Fell, have used Complete Roman Army as reference for years), have Anthony Kaldellis next, now I have to add Nico Roymans... help!

Your podcasts are genuinely excellent. I’ll comment as often as I remember for the algorithm

Fascinating stuff presented in that (to me) very well-known accent!

Haha a fellow Dutchie I see. My 82 year old Godmother, Marianne, is Dutch, and it too, is quite familiar to me as well 😂

❇️ Excellent content. Very well driven. Many details that are not common in the analyses 🦉🦋

very helpful in securing some picture of the north west and how it changed as the empire devolved

What a great interview. Thank you

I laughed so hard during the intro lololol. Welcome to the program! Huh ok?

And because of those Frankish settlers, we have Afrikaans speakers in South Africa. Crazy to think.

Good job keeping a straight face after the introduction, I would have died.

Very interesting! I"ve heard that the Dutch bicycle brand, Batavus, is derived from the name of this historic people.

Very interesting. Does this gentleman have any books out that are available to the public?

Okeyyyyyyy.... lets go.

I enjoyed this topic. I have a question. I grew up near Leiden and there is a Roman fort (I think) near town called Archaeological Park Matilo. Supposedly, the brick from the site was used to construct the Burcht. Are there any sources I could read on this site? Any insight on its age or purpose?

"Ja, Okay."

Could you add subtitles please? At least auto generated. That would be great

13:56 - Gaius Julius WHAT?!??!

8:30 “Caesar, of course, he is exaggerating” on what evidence is this claim justified? Caesar-bashing is the starting point for historical commentary of “historians” until proven otherwise, which historical evidence tends to do.

no, he would NEVER exaggerate, not the consummate politician.

Referring to the Usipetes and the Tencteri, Mr. Royman's states that the archeology supports a "massacre" of "immigrants." Another characterization of the same facts is the defeat of an invasion force. The best scholarship is objective and does not unnecessarily characterize events based upon one's ideological beliefs.

He also denounced the idea that the Dutch people have a history of revolution and nationalism. Sad to see the Germanic people fall so far from grace, into pacifism.
