Music is "Julia" by Jahzzar (betterwithmusic.com)
I was born in the fifth year of Reagan's presidency, seven days hence Talk Like a Pirate day
But what would they say if if they talk about the future?
'You will marry him in the year of N/A and N/A'?
This is something I try to impress on my students when we discuss Roman history--that cultural quirks, as you put it, matter. Whether it sticks or not, I don't know. Another great video! Looking forward to the next one.
One of the advantage of there system is that you give people immediate context on the event you are referring to. So people don't have to remember what this year was like, they immediately know it.
I was born during the 3rd year of the Blair Ministry, 3 days after Corpus Christi.
This is almost identical to how people in Serbia counted time according to holidays.
i.e. ''I was born five days after St. George`s day''
So what you're saying... Is Romans called each other "daddy"
'Born in the second year of Clinton, twelve days before the Ides of November.
Was this system also used by the pesants? And how (if at all) did the system change with the rise of the empire? Did the people just start saying "I was born in the first year of Julius Caesar"?
lol
+Maria Clara Machry Jacintho the peasants probably used like 12 years after Octavius became emperor.
+Maria Clara Machry Jacintho romans still elected consuls for the most duration of the Empire. They just did't have any actuall power, they were something between Rome's mayor and a honorary title.
+Maria Clara Machry Jacintho In theory, it could've been used all the way up until the fall of the Empire, as there were still consuls, they just had no power.
Love your videos. Always something interesting to learn... Thanks!
So how did they count years under the empire? did they just end up using numbers?
2:21 Wait. Didnt you say that Cato didn't become a consul? Or is that another Cato?
good video
will be waiting for the next one
You creat great videos!:)
Happy to be watching this in the new year.
2:52 That's my birthday! Crazy XD
+Tristan Webb You too, were born in 100 B.C.E? :P
last time i checked Caesars birth year was still disputed.
I was born in the Fifth year of John Major.
Or the second year of Bill Clinton. :D
1984 heh? I myself was born in the third year of the the Clinton Presidency.
+Nhat Tran 1985. The election was in 1980, but Reagan's inauguration was in 1981. That's just like this year; 2016 is divisible by 4, so it is a presidential election year, but the next president will be sworn in during January 2017.
That's true! Missed that. Second year of Clinton Presidency, then. XD
please, come back doing videos
Cool videos :D
Hey are you still making videos?
Good video, but between you and me im glad we dont using thees system and use the more(only) logical way: 12th July 100BC
"Political ideology influenced timekeeping." Like it doesn't today? When you use "B.C.E.", that is very much a politically influenced formulation.
"B.C.E." Yuck. Good video though, very informative.
