The breakdown of how the black plague evolved was really interesting!

Belisarius was a brilliant military tactican. Great episode.

did you leave the war between byzantines and persians on a cliffhanger? you started going into to it, then started on the topic of plague. I’ve not finished watching your video yet, so I might be speaking too soon, but do you continue with the war after speaking about the plague? i’m less than 20 minutes from the end of the video.

Corn was not introduced to Europe until 1493, so it was most likely flour Belisarius mill was set up for in Rome.

Corn did not get to Europe untill the 1400. So they did not have for mills

Really starting to dampen my own obsession with Justinian... the dude just blew through the treasury so fast, and for nothing. Didn't even compeltely take italy, not that it really would've done much, but connecting the balkans back with italia would've been much more solid than leaving it essentially an island peninsula separate from the mainland. And 11k pounds of gold to the persians for what obviously would be a peace MAYBE for a few decades was just insanely dumb.

It amazes me that black peoples were blamed for these plagues and blamed and exiled from the land, when in fact it was an actual animal that caused the division of the human race. Thank God we have and trust science to prevent situations like this😑 or do we? Furthermore this is why Muslims and other orthodox religions detest dogs and other animals and why cats were praised. It is also why those cultures favored modest light weight fabric. Light weight fabric that could be washed daily prevented flee infestations. A snake divided man from woman. And a rat and flea crumbled man from God by forcing them to kill each other. Humans will never learn.
