No, he is an Arab and he is proud of that.. It was written on the Triumphal arch in Rome that he is ARABICO .

What a thoughtful and informative presentation. Caracalla certainly had a Geta complex.

So great to match the voices to the faces! Thanks for bringing so much immersive commentary to us!

Brilliant work. Love the recreations

Love it! Thanks for the lesson ❤️

Yay! I was hoping y'all would make a video on this monument. It might be my favorite thing in the forum.

The photos at the start were sweet and really helped to appreciate the scale of this arch! It's so much bigger than I expected. "Damnatio memoriae" is the ultimate shade - the original cancel culture, except it sounds a lot cooler. And I can't handle way Dr Arya said "smurf hats." He certainly has a way of expressing himself.

Beautiful and informative. Thank you!

Very informative, thank you!

NIcely done!

Thank you for posting another fine video.

Good video and interesting biography of the Arch.

If it wasn’t still standing you would never believe they had created so much outstanding art, technology and splendor a thousand years _before_ the Middle Ages.

There would be more art and technology to behold if the catholic church hadn't destroyed so much of the splendors of ancient Rome.

@@johna.4334 what baseless thing you just said. Rome is the city with the most Roman monuments thanks to the Popes who often stopped citizens from dismantling the monuments by transforming them into churches. (exemples: the Colosseum, Pantheon) If you go to see all the other Italian cities of Roman there is nothing left. the few things left are some temples transformed into churches or some theaters, amphitheaters and bridges. The latter survived because they were used for the same purposes for the following centuries. Then you will discover that Rome thanks to the Papal State has been one of the least conquered and destroyed Italian cities over the centuries. And it must be remembered that all over the world cities have lived through different periods, different rulers, different architectural tastes and different urban plans, in which things in ruins were demolished to make room for the new. Just think of Paris, Milan, Vienna, Berlin, London and all the cities in the world. So we should thank the Popes who over the centuries have found interest in ancient art and buildings so as to maintain or transform them. Because being a religion they could have said it's all pagan let's throw it all down. And today you wouldn't have all the Roman statues in museums, the Colosseum, the Roman Forum, the baths, the triumphal arches, the cerimonial columns, the Egyptian obelisks in Rome and much more. So I don't know what history you studied at school but before shooting sentences one should inquire more

Septimus Severus is 🇱🇾 Libyan from leptic magna

Eternal glory to Rome

Is it true that the rectangle hole at the top of the arch was because a barbershop was built at the middle arch and the barber built the hole so no one can steal his spot? That would be a very interesting story though.

What a massive arch for such a mediocre "triumph". He basically beat the Parthians because he just declared he did.
