    Fun Fact: Caligula is actually a nick name the crazy Emperor had, and he Effing Hated it. It means "Little Boot." He got the nick name when he was a child and he wore a military uniform when out on campaign with someone, and he wore little boots (Boots were known as Calig's, and little boots is pronounced "Caligula"), and the other soldiers picked on him for this. And since he Sucked so much, everyone wrote his Official name as Caligula after he died so that he would always be remembered by that name he hated.

      Not quite. Gaius "Caligula" was the son of a hugely popular general Germanicus. He basically grew up in military camps and his parents used to dress the toddler in a version of a military tunic, caligae and perhaps even armour and parade him around the camp. The armies adopted him as a mascot and so gave him the nickname out of a sort of sentimentality. He may well have hated it and have seen it s patronising in later life.

    You should have done an "episode zero" to explain what happened before the Romans. From when people first arrived on Britain to 55 AD.

      I wasn't trying to be rude or pedantic but usually 3-4 times a day i see people misinterpret ocd and what it is as something a lot of people have and that is a very casual thing. Something not being in line or not matching up correctly bothering you is not ocd, this is a misinterpretation that thousands of people make. It makes light of a condition which is honestly hell to live with for those who deal with it. check the link for information on what OCD actually is. Imagine having to check your front door is locked 20 times before you leave the house & feeling like if you don't you will lose someone close to you. Or having some horrific though be all your mind will show you for an hour. Its crippling.

    Well done! Although, I would disagree that Septimius Severus begins the late period. Many have suggested it was Diocletian, with his enormous reforms, brought about the late period. I've always seen the 3rd Century Crisis as a part of the early period because no major structural changes occurred.

    This part of British history actually makes me happy. It pretty much birthed one of the strongest feudal kingdoms in medieval history, and soon to be THE strongest empire in the world. Thank you Rome.

    • @leod-sigefast

      Nothing to do with Rome. The Romans exploited and subjected Britain and the Britons. It took 1000 years and hundreds of events before England and Britain were strong enough to start an empire. It was the hard work, ingenuity and skill of the British, no one else (remember, Britain built its great power on the sea; the Romans were not particularly noted as great sailors), who made Britain great.

    • @rasplez9889
      @rasplez9889 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      Leode Siefast but the culture and technology still remains. We got "real" roads from the Romans, and lighthouses from the Greeks. They also gave us the knowledge to use stone masonry to greater effect, allowing small holdfasts made of mud to be turned into great stone castles. The same way black slaves revolutionised western society, and children dramatically advanced industrial capacity in the Victorian ages. Slavery and exploitation was bad, but it's a necessary evil for faster progress. Rome might not have built our empire, but it paved the roads for us all the same.

    Why is it that everyone hesitates when they use the word Celtic in an ancient context? There is little hesitation when ancient tribes are called Germanic, and if the P and Q Celtic theory is correct then Welsh and Breton are closer to Gaulish than to Irish and Scottish (and vice versa for Celt-Iberian). Surely if we can have the modern P and Q Celtic languages under the Celtic label we can use it for ancient languages.
    To be fair modern Celtic languages may belong to a separate insular group, but like mentioned above we still call a great variety of languages Germanic, ancient or modern.
    Great Video btw :).

    Frankly, the fact that the Romans never sent more legions there just means that they didn't really care. One ruler decided to invade a sparasely populated area with no militart tech to get some respect, and then the others just wanted to keep it to not lose respect. It was pretty much useless land: it didn't have any special products, did not have an army to integrate to Rome's, did not serve as a barrier towards enemies, and was costly to keep. Also considering that ideal human conditions are sunny (not cloudy) days, 25 degrees Celsius during the day and between 19 and 21 during the night, as well as and between 40 and 60% umidity, England's temporate weather was not specifically comfortable either.

    It's funny how Britannia was once a colony of a vast empire in the beginning and ended up becoming a colonial empire centuries later.
    Moreover, the way Romans suppress the Celtic tribes is very similar to how Great Britain suppress its colony as if the Roman was their tutor of becoming a colonial empire.
