Great job😂

I was waiting for it!

Yes! It seems like the narrative is getting back on track!! Great job Robin!

Punch of silly theories! (Perhaps this, Perhaps that) lol

Although I like the Pod and I enjoy learning about the Byzantines I must say What an utter nonsense! No Historian agrees with this wild take! on Islamic history and certainly most Muslims would laugh at this silly western take especially when these claims are made by someone who can't even speak or write Arabic. This inability to understand Arabic is crucial to understand Islamic history and its resources which would be all in Arabic!.

This sounds like a lot of conjecture. It feels more like Professor Neville has has a different interpretation rather than a "refutation" of the conventional viewpoint. Not to say that she's wrong, but I don't see how she's proved anything conclusively. Admittedly I have only listened to her interview here on the podcast and I have not read the book. I *love* this podcast but it seems like to me that any new revisionist history is taken at face value with little pushback from Robin. I am currently reading Anthony Kalldellis' books and enjoy them, but he's received pushback on his more "controversial" views from others in the field.

Roman Emperors that were canonized after Saint Constantine the Great but before Saint John the Merciful are Saint Justinian and Saint Theodosius the Great (Theodosius I).

That city probably the most fascinating city. The under ground caves where you can see lotr mines of moria inspiration from... the wealth n knowledge launched europe into renaissance period rebirth economics n philosophy...the Islamic Golden age is from the lay out of their establishment.

Literally the greatest history podcast ever made. Been listening since 2018. Glad to see it on youtube now.

Another interesting and informative presentation. Your channel deserves greater recognition and appreciation.

to my under standing Constantinople church was the capital for eastern orthodox faith..they where far more advanced in literature an cultural ..i believe in that area where the first bible was made that made years later sparked the rise of islam

Can we still see it all after it is converted into a mosque?

we visited hagia Irene in April 2023. it was beautiful rom the outside bu i have wondered why it is not restored from the inside

It's interesting how much Constantine The Great was...well...envisioned in Constantinople. I imagined that it'd pay deference to him, but I never got quite this image of Constantine just being everywhere in the city from Mike's podcast.

Dan Carlin, yeeeeeeeesssssssssss. He's good, I don't think I've ever found a guy more personally captivating at every second. Mike Duncan's a good ride, and I'd say he ties it for being someone who skirts the line between academic dissection and your friend talking about the annoying nextdoor neighbors, but Dan Carlin just does not come close in my book.

In the part of Istanbul where I live there’s also a piece of that wall (Yesilkoy). In later times people built house against the wall (inner side), saves building one wall. It also has those bands of 3 layers of red bricks, I walked by it many times, never realizing it is part of that Roman sea wall.

Which emperor in Byxantine history started the weakest and ended the strongest?

Beautiful

I cant believe they lost to the goddamn Bulgarians after all that success. What an anticlimax. I can imagine the frustration the survivors must have felt.

From the Mongol Marco Polo brought the spaghetti to Italy !

anti christian hateful agent whom tolf you this u stole this and imitatehating criminal ! u can't say otherwise who is depicted and who is not !

Fascinating! Thanks

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also if you could marry one byzantine Princess who would it be?

How has this podcast got so little views?

I love the unhurried delivery, with pauses in the commentary.

Such a great emperor, the best of the medieval era

Fascinating. And yet the church represents a completely dead culture as Turkey itself is now overwhelmingly Muslim with a tiny remnant Christian population. Kudos to the Turks for respecting the monuments of a foreign religion and working them as best they can into the ongoing culture. They deserve it.

I will likely never be able to afford to travel to Istanbul, thank you so much for creating such well thought out and descriptive documentaries of the sites available to visit in the city. This almost makes up for not being able to visit in person.

the volume is too low :(

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also who is your favourite byzantine emperor?

Good stuff

Istanbul 😊great masjid

Very fine video, clear, concise., wonderful. More please.

Cool

Let There be nothing is my go to when I'm ripping down a 25 mph road at well over 50 at the end of a work day.

The narrative about the Bulgarian Empire starts at circa 15:00, the first part is antecedences/context/intro

Constantine the Weak, Constantine the Betrayer. He doesn't deserve to have this great city named after him.

❤

As Orthodox st. John Damascene used the term dispassionate conception of the Theotokos. Not immaculate because it leads to heresy and schism! Even Jesus took our sins to save us but he is alone without sin...☦️☘️

WHY IS CONSTANTINOPLE MUSLIM TODAY?WHY THE DJIHAD AGAINST THE ROMANS?

Te faltó halar más sobre la columna y el foro de Leo I. Saludos!

Great job Robin! Thank you.

The problem is Devil runs the world. He is lier and murderer. This is the reason why deception and violence are everywhere. That's why we've got the Gospel about the God's kingdom. Jehovah would put everything in order. The dead will be resurected and we'll meet our beloved ones again! :-)

Great vid and amazing summary as always but l am curious as to how you will cover the story of the Romans going forward, are you going to cover all three states in a parallel manner or focus on Nicea and simpy comment on the other two when they do something relevant to the story. Are you going to cover them seperatly once 1453 arrives and if yes, from their inception or from the Ottoman conquest of the city?

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also I have a question as Muslim how many byzantine Princess got married to Muslim rulers thought history??

We don't get to see much from the local tour guide. Thanks for this great podcast Robin.

Absolutely awesome Robin

This series of podcasts is so well done. Thank you for uploading it. I must, however, admit I'm exhausted... there's so much treachery and changes of allegiances among such closed circles, that it feels like a Latinamerican telenovela. I'm only at minute 11 and I already need a walk in the park and a yoga session 😅

Wow - the photo at 1:19. I can see we look in the dricetion of Augusteion? Any more info on this photo, or the source? Or maybe it's an artwork and I got tricked? Also, Robin, great video as always, although with this one I must say the sights make me weep more than marvel.
