The clarity of your historical vision is astonishing

Man, not even academic classes uploaded on KZread have this level of historical accuracy. Where do you teach?

This is the kind of historical analysis level that people should be acquainted with. Thanks for putting your expertise at our disposal

Excellent. I always appreciate how you contextualize the political and administrative changes within the moral and social landscape of the time. Most history lessons simply list the sequence of events, but you take it a step further by explaining why those specific changes occurred and how they built upon pre-existing systems. Your commitment to historical accuracy is impressive, as you not only present facts but also provide insightful explanations to situate them within the broader context. I've also enjoyed your videos on the Late Roman military, which offer a comprehensive analysis of the political, strategic, and tactical fundamentals. For example, your discussion of the tactical improvements resulting from increased challenges, the growth of tactical synergy in field armies due to detachment from less professional elements, and the gradual change in processes was particularly illuminating. Your video about the rights of connubium, where citizens were sometimes present among the auxilia, shows that even before the Constitutio Antoniniana, auxiliaries had become fundamentally equivalent to legionaries - a development that paralleled the process of Romanization. This content is completely beyond any other Roman army video that does nothing but copying and categorizing without any critical explanation. You are a living encyclopedia, and this channel is a treasure trove of military history (and not just limited to it)

Your work is truly monumental. If anyone wishes to learn Byzantine history they should start from your videos

Finally someone qualified to talk Byzantine history and not improvised experts and/or school teachers commenting on other people's videos

Nice job!

Great channel keep it up

nothing gets me harder than the late Roman early/byzantine Empire

Love these vids

I thoroughly enjoyed your video and appreciate your insightful commentary on the peculiar fascination with Byzantine history. It's striking to me how some people become so enamored with this particular era, often to the neglect of other significant aspects of medieval history. The Western European polities, their warfare, Church history, and the ongoing relevance of Rome's history, for example, are all crucial components of the medieval narrative that often seem to fall by the wayside. I think it's interesting to consider the possibility that this disproportionate focus on Byzantine history may be linked to a deeper psychological or societal phenomenon. Perhaps it's a result of the widespread perception that there's been a conspiracy to conceal certain truths from us, leading to a sense of paranoia and mistrust. It's also possible that the liberal-historiographical narrative that has emerged over the past few decades has played a role in shaping our collective understanding of Byzantine history. This narrative may be driven by a desire to rediscover the Byzantines as a symbol of multiculturalism and diversity, which can be seen as a form of cultural self-sabotage. Regardless of the underlying reasons, it's refreshing to see historians like yourself working to dispel these myths and present accurate information about the past. Your videos are a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the complexities of medieval history, and I appreciate your commitment to shedding light on the often-overlooked aspects of this fascinating period

I think you're nailing it. There's a literal as disproportional obsession in the sub-cultural internet among the pseudo-intellectuals/barely literate especially late millennials and Z generations feeling the need to sabotage Western culture and deliberately ignoring Latin-Germanic Europe on purpose (but also because they actually don't even know how to study it). A lot of that comes admittedly from Anglo-American culture that is practically just looking at Britain and ignoring the civilizational development of the Franks and the Longobards and substituting it with some materialistic-structuralistic myth of poverty that in fact wasn't but in some narrower parts of North-Western Europe. The Byzantine world was far more socio-economically. Western Europe had been more socially dynamic than the Byzantine since the Early Middle Ages and as a whole and it's sort of weird how incredibly uneducated the average person is in the macroscopic as well as the microscopic evidence of Latin-Germanic advancement.

How do you put so many videos? Also, where do you get your information from?

Man, a battle-hardened PhD veteran doesn't even need a script to produce this. I remember him listing all the dates and names by heart since the first year of the channel. Content like this is just basic stuff he would cover in intro classes: as impressive as it's for KZread standards, it's really the norm for someone like him.

Your channel is a brutal demolition of pretentious pseudo-intellectuals who exploit trendy pop culture to sound smart. It's a merciless evisceration of those who can't even manage to sit through a 9-minute academic lecture without losing their attention span. Your content is an unflinching display of scholarly rigor, unapologetically designed for those who actually care about substance over shallow presentation. If you're not bothered by the intellectual pyrotechnics that blow away the mediocrity, then you're not worthy of consuming this content. I'm glad it's not dumbed down for the drooling masses who can't handle the truth
