Awesome video. I hadn't heard of the Naval Battle at Ostia by Pope Leo's forces. Garigliano, i had heard of. It was good to know that we will get to see a discussion of politics between Lombards, Popes, Saracens and the Catepans in the coming years. I've been reading "Normans in the South" of late, and the Catepans were interesting men. Even a cursory reading reveals that the Greeks sent some truly remarkable expeditions into the south, from the time of Nicephorus the Elder all the way down to the time of Comte Robert, and i hope to hear these stories told in your exceptional style. Great work.

TheSamuraijim87 It’s a fascinating topic. Much more to come on the Lombards of southern Italy. Luckily for us the source material is rich and varied, which as you know is very rare for this period. Having learned this i was very surprised that relatively little has been written on the Lombards

“....Sack Rome” is an extreme misnomer. It was the looting and pillaging of two churches and the surrounding suburbs of the city, all containing civilians. The city walls were never breached. Although many gold and silver religious items were taken as if the invaders knew exactly where to find them in the churches, they never entered the city but did camp outside the walls for some weeks. This leads a lot of scholars today to argue whether it was just a raiding party or a planned invasion. In addition it was not wishful thinking regarding the storm that destroyed part of the fleet. For weeks afterwards Arab bodies were washed on shore containing many of the jewels taken from the sacked two sacked churches. There are also conflicting stories about whether the invaders split into 2 armies and were attacked and defeated as they withdrew. This is one of the repeated perils of relying on ancient or even medieval sources. They were not written by historians rather by religious institutions or by writers slavishly following their patron’s beliefs. Also a minor point. Rome does not have a harbor. The Arabs would have landed at Ostia and marched the 16 kilometers to Rome.

Quite so, DA. It was, simply put, a clear reminder to the belligerent Christian resistance that nowhere was safe .. from militant Islam. Spain and Asia Minor were the key targets of conquest, brigandage .. or in modern terms terror attacks .. was a nice News Headline side show (and in this case a good little earner). Of course the assailants knew where to go, what to take, and how to make a spectacle - without having all the fuss of dealing with Rome's walls. The Leonine walls were constructed to offer similar protections to the shrine of St Peter on the Vatican Hill, outside the Aurelian walls. That same pope, St Leo IV, organized a naval coalition to meet - and defeat - a later Saracen assault at the battle of Ostia AD 849.

@@acchaladka The harbour was at Ostia, but the Tiber was navigable for some kinds of seagoing craft. That is DA's point about the possible splitting of the armies used in this smash and grab (terror) attack; the shrines of St Peter's on the Vatican Hill and St Paul's on the Ostian Way were outside the Aurelian Walls and were attacked. However, Rome's major churches, its cathedral and its senior or maternal church were inside the walls, that is, St John Lateral and St Mary Major.

The comparison of Arabs and Muslims to the Viking people is a great injustice, and a repetition of the description of plundering and enslavement is unacceptable at all! Muslims and Arabs brought new civilization with them to almost everyplace they went to, for example Andalusia in Spain and India and the borders of China, unlike the Viking savage!! But according to your words, it is my right to describe the Roman Empire as a plundering and enslavement empire!!

Also has refugees coming into the empire from the east, and appeals for help to the est to fight the invaders (that fell on deaf ears, however). Yes, massive armies and naval conflict.

This is among the best presentations of primary source of human history I have ever seen.

And I feel like in this one, you found a great balance between music and commentary, even in the field of volume. What Dagon, Lovecraft? And I didn't know about this chan? I'm such a moron! Edit: you always refer to Arabs but what about the Berber proportion in such raids ands piracy actions. I remember when I first read about Al-Andalus yeaaaaaars ago, one of the first thing that stroke me was the Berber proportion in the Muslim armies. And as you know it lead to many internal crisis among other reasons! Thank you for your help in this matter.

under the Caliphate true but they were an Automanmous state in North Africa "iFRIKIA" "Tunisia along the eastern part of Algeria and west of Libya" with their own Capital Kairouan, that time the Caliphate had spiritual status even Autonomous or Independent states recognize the caliphate as the true ruler of all Muslims ,

@@granda2126, yes Aghlabids were Semi- autonomous province of Caliphate. Early Abbasid Empire (750 - 861) ruled as absolute monarchy like Umayyads but during Abbasid decline period (861-940) Abbasids started loose power during this time independent states recognised Abbasid as nominal head of state.

Going through your past videos and quite enjoying everything. Rome and Jerusalem are my two favourite cities, though Delhi is a close third. Would love a series on Jerusalem and environs and the Jews of medieval Iberia and Africa -? Also, let’s be honest, you could make this whole channel about The Kingdom of Two Sicilies, and I would eat it all up.

Yay for History Time!

I always wonder what it must have been like living in Rome during the "dark ages", from a city of over 1 million to 10,000 at its lowest point, from great philosophers and orators like Cicero, great statesman and generals like Caesar, to illiterate peasants living and farming in the streets of the forum and Colosseum. It must have been very strange indeed.
