@@InAeternumRomaMater 1. There were not just part of the Empire during Basil's reign, they remained within the Empire for roughly 150 years after Basil's death. Moreover, the lands they settled were Roman lands populated by Romans and so a lot of cultural assimilation took place since the natives outnumbered the migrants/invaders. They also were Christianised by the Eastern Romans and were Orthodox Christians, even the written slavic aka Cyrillic was given to them by the Romans (Saints Methodius and Cyril) 2. The Bulgarian law code (aka "Court Law for the People" aka zakon sudnyi ijud'm) was based heavily on the Byzantine aka Roman Law (Code of Justinian) 3. That's just not true at all. You can be Romanised but still identify with your local identities just like how the Germanic tribes such as the Franks, Visigoths and Ostrogoths were highly Romanised.

I am from central Italy, my family too. I remember going toRome almost every weekend with my parents when I was a child, and I remember my father telling me about ancient Rome. He was so passionate about it. He clearly felt a deep connection with our ancestors. Now I am 24, I don't want to sound exaggerated, but I get emotional everytime I see something about ancient Rome. I feel a deep connection with my cultural ancestors too. I love studying and learning about them. And I feel really proud. So that's gold for me, so thank you.

@@hislord1Nope, it's not a trust me bro situation. It's a fact that killing banner carrier is one of the biggest offensive you could do toward Roman at that time. I once read about how while in war with Barbarian, they targeted the Aquilifer. Guess what happened? The Romans initially wanted to subjugated the villages and slaving them at worse (during this time, The roman Empire is giving free citizenship left and right). But since the Aquilifer (person who carry the banner) is dead and the banner fall to the ground. They literally slaughtered the entire village in revenge.
You really only need to yell orders at the enemies, because your people will respect you. This is something you learn when you have to order or cooperate people.
If Carthage had won the Punic Wars, they would have established trade with Eastern Asia far earlier than any Europeans would have and would have most likely discovered and colonized North America centuries earlier.
Dude, the way the Roman soldier said "Break down the door" with that stern, calm, and authoritative manner: Makes me swoon for the Roman Empire even more.
You know shit's getting real when every roman legionary is wearing a segmentata. Though being serious, there were a few guys, especially the archers, wearing Lorica Hamata. Which makes this scene more historically accurate to the roman legions.
@@Hammadz-li Actually the lorica segmentata was largely developed after the disaster in the Teutoberg Forest in 9 AD. At that time Roman legionaries were equipped with Lorica Hamata, which was very expensive and time-consuming to produce. The loss of so much valuable equipment so quickly meant that Rome had to find a cheaper and easier alternative for the army. True, some soldiers had segmentata in that battle, but the vast majority wore mail.
And the Movie states that he's unrightfully becomes a slave. If shutting his door in front of the roman legion and helping the assassin escape which is a crime against Rome isn't a reason then I don't know
Lol what? The army is literally marching through the conquered city and the idiot decides to try and assassinate the leader of said army who is then protected by the family and the Romans are supposed to not take them into custody and issue judgement for hiding an assassin? It was absolutely justified. Would have been more morally grey if they gave up the amateur assassin and still were imprisoned/enslaved.
@Vlavitir glutginskiya The whole story of Judah Ben-Hur is naive bullshit invented by American writer. So whether it was an arrow, or a tile from a restroom... You do not think it is a real story, do you?

Noticed how the man that saves the guvernor waits until the arrow is released for him to know wich way he should pull the guvernor to save him. The amounts of balls on that man

The absolute best depiction of a Roman legion on the march : the dust, the sweaty bodies, the clanging of weapons and armour, the attack dogs, the sense of fear that they inspire. Pity the film itself is disappointing.
The fall of Rome is the saddest point of human history. A civilization centuries ahead of its neighbors, evolved in arts, literature, infrastructure, architecture, government, warfare, and just about everything else. Just think about how much further along we'd be if they hadn't collapsed, it took us more than half a millennia just to get on the tech level they had before they fell.
Right. In Britain, the tech-level after the fall of Rome sank under those of the celts. Londinium had about 500 citizens left, Rome ifself ca. 30.000 in the sixth century (from over a million!). it was not early medieval times, it was a Dark Age for sure.
Amen. Not on did civilization regress in the west (the Eastern Empire was doing just fine, still basking in the light of Rome) but it forever split Europe up into petty realms who wasted centuries squabbling over petty disputes. Once you could walk from the coast of northern Gaul to Egypt (minus a little trip across the Hellespont) and be in the same nation. All the while needing only 2 languages to be able to do so.
Not entirely true. Though civilisations did decrease at first on a technological scale, they did improve themselves over time. The Romans did actually quite little on improvements themselves, mostly because they did not have any opposition of a similiar caliber. Medieval countries actually had to improve all the time, otherwise they risked lagging behind.

At the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (aka Battle of Varus), c. 9 CE, a combined force of Germans annihilated a Roman army consisting of three legions including three squadrons of cavalry and six cohorts of auxiliary troops.
@@marcaurel2610 True, the Germanics picked them off from the rear as they were marching through dense forrest, by the time the Romans knew what was happening the Germanics had the Romans outnumbered.
@@marcaurel2610 The only reason that worked at all is because the Germanic tribes were led by Arminius, a German who was raised by the Romans. He knew their tactics, strategies and fighting style inside and out. It was obvious that if the Germans attacked Roman legions head-on, Rome would annihilate them. So they had to lure the legions into a tight, constricted area where they could not deploy into battle formation, then use ambush and hit-and-run tactics, over the course of three days.
Eagle standard cant touch the ground, if the aquilifer dropps it, he's dead, if they kill the aquilifer and it falls on the floor, the killer is dead no trial, stright beheaded on spot, the eagle standard is the legion, dropping it on the ground means that the legion is weak and useless, no Legion allows that to happen. Entire wars were made to recover Eagle standards from enemies so go figure how important that insignia was for the roman legions.
Amazing how in literally 3 seconds from an unexpected attack there is already a shield wall of metal and dozens of arrows already flying in the assassin’s direction. This army is not to be f@cked with...
That's actually bad timing or bad directing even - just another mistake like the one where you see the army marching past houses barely reaching to their knees. The makers of this film wanted to present a spectacular chariot race, and in a way they did succeed in doing that, but there were a lot of other glitches in the movie. Just as the costuming - people at that time did not wear pants, at least not in that part of the world, and certainly women didn't. Yet there is one scene where you can see both Judah and Esther wearing pants...

Point of Fact, Rule under Rome was better than the dark ages. Ask any Nonpartisan Archeologist. During Rome you have great houses with running water sewer systems paved streets pottery and advancements coming in fast, Post Roam nothing lasting, no righting no real advancements so great towns barley even hovels where sickness rules where sanitation is lacking. It's like Man kind stepped back a thousand years. Where did all the riches go, into the hands of those that called for Rome to fall, who suffered after? Not those that wanted it to fall but everyone else. Another FACT, not one single civilization was ever created that did not stand upon the bones of others.

Bulgarian's aren't Romans. The Romanians are the descendants of the Balkan Romans, and you took those land's. At least the Timok-Romanians still live in the region where Galerius, Licinius and Maximinus Daia were born
@@InAeternumRomaMaterthe Bulgarians are Bulgarians and they were highly romanised due to both cultural assimilation due to them settling in Roman lands inside Danube and due to their prolonged contact and influence of Eastern Rome.
@@zippyparakeet1074 How were Bulgarians "romanized"? Do you even know what that is? If they were, 1. They would have been part of the Roman Empire (which yeah, it happened during Basil the Bulgarslayer)✅️, 2. They would still follow the Roman law🚫 and 3. They would identify by the Roman ethnonym🚫.
@@InAeternumRomaMater
1. There were not just part of the Empire during Basil's reign, they remained within the Empire for roughly 150 years after Basil's death. Moreover, the lands they settled were Roman lands populated by Romans and so a lot of cultural assimilation took place since the natives outnumbered the migrants/invaders. They also were Christianised by the Eastern Romans and were Orthodox Christians, even the written slavic aka Cyrillic was given to them by the Romans (Saints Methodius and Cyril)
2. The Bulgarian law code (aka "Court Law for the People" aka zakon sudnyi ijud'm) was based heavily on the Byzantine aka Roman Law (Code of Justinian)
3. That's just not true at all. You can be Romanised but still identify with your local identities just like how the Germanic tribes such as the Franks, Visigoths and Ostrogoths were highly Romanised.

That legion is really well equipped every soldier wearing lorica segmentata the upkeep must be insane on that legion.
You know shit's getting real when every roman legionary is wearing a segmentata.
Though being serious, there were a few guys, especially the archers, wearing Lorica Hamata. Which makes this scene more historically accurate to the roman legions.
They look more like a Gaurd or elite unit
@@Hammadz-li That's what every legionary during the 1st century AD after Augustus reforms looked like
The Vexiliarii and the Auxiliary Archers where using hamatas at least
@@Hammadz-li Actually the lorica segmentata was largely developed after the disaster in the Teutoberg Forest in 9 AD. At that time Roman legionaries were equipped with Lorica Hamata, which was very expensive and time-consuming to produce. The loss of so much valuable equipment so quickly meant that Rome had to find a cheaper and easier alternative for the army. True, some soldiers had segmentata in that battle, but the vast majority wore mail.
Those formations are absolute beauties.
appreciate the detail of this clip, the director got the right legion and its logo, also the Syrian archers auxiliary
And the Movie states that he's unrightfully becomes a slave. If shutting his door in front of the roman legion and helping the assassin escape which is a crime against Rome isn't a reason then I don't know

Lol what? The army is literally marching through the conquered city and the idiot decides to try and assassinate the leader of said army who is then protected by the family and the Romans are supposed to not take them into custody and issue judgement for hiding an assassin? It was absolutely justified. Would have been more morally grey if they gave up the amateur assassin and still were imprisoned/enslaved.
@יהושע Well, you shoot an arrow at a pack of heavy armored men, there will be consequences

The absolute best depiction of a Roman legion on the march : the dust, the sweaty bodies, the clanging of weapons and armour, the attack dogs, the sense of fear that they inspire. Pity the film itself is disappointing.
The centurions look so intimidating by they way the wave their head with the beats of the march at the very beginning. (the ones walking)
The fall of Rome is the saddest point of human history. A civilization centuries ahead of its neighbors, evolved in arts, literature, infrastructure, architecture, government, warfare, and just about everything else. Just think about how much further along we'd be if they hadn't collapsed, it took us more than half a millennia just to get on the tech level they had before they fell.
Right. In Britain, the tech-level after the fall of Rome sank under those of the celts. Londinium had about 500 citizens left, Rome ifself ca. 30.000 in the sixth century (from over a million!). it was not early medieval times, it was a Dark Age for sure.
Amen. Not on did civilization regress in the west (the Eastern Empire was doing just fine, still basking in the light of Rome) but it forever split Europe up into petty realms who wasted centuries squabbling over petty disputes. Once you could walk from the coast of northern Gaul to Egypt (minus a little trip across the Hellespont) and be in the same nation. All the while needing only 2 languages to be able to do so.
Khalid bin walid:ill take that as a compliment
Imagine, we can't even recover all the technology they had lol
Not entirely true. Though civilisations did decrease at first on a technological scale, they did improve themselves over time. The Romans did actually quite little on improvements themselves, mostly because they did not have any opposition of a similiar caliber. Medieval countries actually had to improve all the time, otherwise they risked lagging behind.

At the Battle of Teutoburg Forest (aka Battle of Varus), c. 9 CE, a combined force of Germans annihilated a Roman army consisting of three legions including three squadrons of cavalry and six cohorts of auxiliary troops.
@@marcaurel2610 True, the Germanics picked them off from the rear as they were marching through dense forrest, by the time the Romans knew what was happening the Germanics had the Romans outnumbered.
@@marcaurel2610 The only reason that worked at all is because the Germanic tribes were led by Arminius, a German who was raised by the Romans. He knew their tactics, strategies and fighting style inside and out. It was obvious that if the Germans attacked Roman legions head-on, Rome would annihilate them. So they had to lure the legions into a tight, constricted area where they could not deploy into battle formation, then use ambush and hit-and-run tactics, over the course of three days.
Eagle standard cant touch the ground, if the aquilifer dropps it, he's dead, if they kill the aquilifer and it falls on the floor, the killer is dead no trial, stright beheaded on spot, the eagle standard is the legion, dropping it on the ground means that the legion is weak and useless, no Legion allows that to happen.

Imagine waking up seeing a legion in your town
I'd sign up for the auxiliaries immediately.
So that's what Euron Greyjoy did after the Game of Thrones ended, joined the Legions and marched into Jerusalem. Well, no wonder he received an invitation from Rome, that man was badass enough to shoot down a dragon.
The script: and the Romans were the bad guys.
Me: Not true.
The script: yes, they were.
Me: For the glory of Rome, no, they weren't, and if you say it again 🪖👉🏻
Glory to Rome

In the 1959 film, it was just as tragic. Tirza leans over some tiles that fell and hit the governor. A completely honest accident that get blown out of proportion. What’s worse is that Massala knew Judah was telling the truth about the tiles, and still condemned them all.
Yep. Even in the Cartoon version, it was the result of an accident.
Latin, the language of ancient Rome, is the mother of Romance languages, the most beautiful languages in the world.

damn romanian actually sounds a lot more latin than i thought it would.
Overrated. And Latin is lifted directly from Phoenician, it's Semitic in origin.
@@Hashishin13 Romanian and Spanish
@@hislord1 Nope. Latin is an indo-european language, not semitic
Imagine being a legionary the most elite infantry in the world marching hundreds of miles to occupy a barbarian city only for your aquilifer who was your boy get shot by some bastard who said they where gonna be loyal. That would suck.
It isn’t that bad. Imagine being conquered and having all your women raped and children enslaved. That’s a lot worst. Stupid ass
@@kie-skatemods4141 well right now this is a Roman occupation of Jerusalem where the People swung open the gates and let them in and if shutting doors on Romans isn’t a crime and killing an aquilfer I don’t what is. Stupid Ass.
@@kie-skatemods4141 lol calm down, from what I can tell your just an angry little kid that has nothing better to do then question a TH-cam comment. Get a life.
@@freedomlover2204 yeah
@@kie-skatemods4141 the romans were pretty tolerant of judaism even after the first couple of rebellions but after the bar kokhba rebellion that tolerance was squandered because of zealous religious nationalism.
The Romans were singing a cadence to the tune of "I hear the choppers hovering...". Love it!
Nah it was really cringy
Hovering over head
They were chanting, "I love the smell of napalm in the morning. Ah, victory!"
Eternal Legion, Eternal(ly) Victorious
@@AyatollahofRockNRolla actually victrix is the name of the legion, not an adjective
LOL they are singing the US Army Airborne cadence, “I hear the choppers hovering” xD
My son: what are they singing?
Me: civilization son, civilization
The Romans, "F*ck around and find out", Ancient Style.
