This is the finest channel by far. I have been obsessed with Rome for almost 50 years, first trip was in 1984 and been as often as I can ( about 16 times) up to 2022. Classics Degree, member of British School of Rome previously blah blah. But there is ALWAYS something new to discover. I love the minutiae and obscure details that Darius covers which is what I want. My dream is to go into the Cloaca Maxima how weird is that :). Rome has become obscenely expensive to stay now which is frustrating as hell
"Emprise" 05:16 . What a pleasure to hear this word being used in English. The first time I've ever heard it used in EN, though I do use it and hear it when I speak French. It means an adventure or a chivalric action in English and French, but in FR it also means a grip (perhaps prise (open) descends from this Gallic borrowing). Thank you for making my day. You surprised me here. I deem you an erudite man.
New to this channel, and absolutely enthralled with it. A life long student of western history, which naturally includes the history of Rome, you're work brings to life the people, their culture, and their history in a way that I could only dream of. Thank you for your efforts to bring to life predecessors of European culture in such a way that one can even envision (quite literally) the cities and landmarks in a way that literally brings it to life.. I can imagine myself standing in the Forum, or the Coliseum, and elsewhere. Times are hard right now in my country, but as they improve I will be able o contribute financially in my own humble way, so you can continue your wonderful work, and bring history to life for all of us. With much gratitude and enthusiasm for your your work ~ thank you.
Extraordinary video Darius, is so interesting to see how war and conquest was intertwined with the grow of the Republic that ultimately led to the Empire.
Sure, like the emperor Nero who after his wife Poppaea died, found a boy who looked like her, had him castrated and then married him. After Nero died the new Poppaea was taken in by the leader of the Praetorian Guard called Nymphidius - you can't make this stuff up.
@@damionkeeling3103 Nope. You can't make up this stuff, and it is why ancient Roman lore is fascinating. Nero was just an all-around -Roman boy. If you had a momma like Agrippina you too might show signs of eccentricity. Anyhow, young Nero knew how to take care of his mom. Eventually his weird reign led to the period of the Five Good Emperors and Romes zenith, so let's cut the kid a little slack.
Great material, Darius. Thanks for sharing! I had no idea the tomb of the Scipios was open for visits. That is amazing. Is Scipio Africanus buried there?
Hey Darius, can you cover the series of plebian secessions in the early Republic, in which the toilers picked up everything and moved to a different spot, forcing the patricians to come to terms? I want to write a screenplay on the first one.
Eternally fascinating! like the city itself. Evidently our founding fathers found it so, too. Our coinage and our currency hint at this. Pick a period: The empire? The republic? The regal period? My wish? Would that we had more records on the regal period, but the sack of Rome in ca. 390C.E. more than likely destroyed all data on the period of the kings; nevertheless, I would like to believe that Numa, Ancus Marcius, the Tarquins were flesh and blood rulers. However, if I had my choice I would choose either repblican Rome or the empire of the Antonines of the 2nd century C.E. to spend a long vacation. Thanks! so much for your download.
Atâta istorie este în Italia din cele mai vechi timpuri și până la apariția Imperiului Roman!Au fost de exemplu etrusci o civilizație fascinantă, până ce Roma ia distrus pe etrusci și au cucerit Italia și multe alte teritorii.
It may not have been a city of marble just yet (soon to be) but it more than made up for it with all the proliferate personalities that would rise within this time period.
It’s: republic of Rome, not Republican. Rome never used the term Republican nor was it Republican. Rome was an autocracy with a senate, and no formal constitution. The Roman emperor could, and often did, over ruled the senate, which again, is not a real republic.
I love that you ground each episode in the context of the time. It gives it so much more meaning! I just love this channel!
Glad you enjoy it! Thank you! Join us for a course!
I am so happy that I found this channel!
Onboarding our new Roman citizens, just keep watching Darius' videos and your immigration procedures will ramp up😀
Us too! Check out our website, free lectures, travel courses

The Cloaca is quite amazing. Darius has filmed some documentaries there. We will keep sharing content!
@@AncientRomeLive there was a guy sleeping rough at the section it enters the tiber.
Sensational video Darius. Thank you for sharing.
Much appreciated! We are marching forward: Late Republic, all of the dynasties- all the way to the 21st century!
@@AncientRomeLive Awesome. Really looking forward to it.

Republic Rome is something I really want to dive into and this is perfect! Thank you!
You're so welcome!

Thank you. We'll charge forward in coming weeks- part of big chronology series (always focused on material remains from Rome).
Neat video. Wonderful visuals. Thank you!
Thank you too!
I FUCKING LOVE ANCIENT ROME.... THEY WERE SO BASED AND POWERFUL, FULL OF MACHO MEN AND WISE SCHOLARS, LEGENDARY ARCHITECTS, MILITARY GENIUSES
Amazing subject, we agree!
I'm with you there! buddy.
We could use their kind in Washington today, instead of the wimpy wannabes we are stuck with.

Glad you enjoyed it! It's open on occasion or by reservation
Great Video!

Excellent video, thanks.
Glad you liked it!
Great videos, so interesting 👍👍
Thanks for the visit
Again Great Stuff 😁😁
Thanks again!

Eventually...
Thank you Darius. As usual, so eeducational. Do you mind spelling the name of the old wall by the train station in Rome?
Servian
Servian Wall- named after the 6th Roman king Servius Tullius
@@AncientRomeLive Thank you, Darius. That is great you respond to your viewers. Others don't!

Thank you! Yes there is a lot more to explore in these periods. After we get through the chronology we'll follow up with more in-depth studies.
@@AncientRomeLive Bravo!
Ave! Roma.
Just in time! Needed some good Roman Republican history before bed.
haha, pleasant dreams!

Thanks a lot! Yea we need to dedicate a video to the Etruscans!
We Republicans love our bold history. We built Rome and we built America. We don’t need an emperor.
It may not have been a city of marble just yet (soon to be) but it more than made up for it with all the proliferate personalities that would rise within this time period.

You give dates pre-BCE as if they are post-BCE dates. Sloppy and confusing.
