pretty much they're all evil, but some are less evil.
Not exactly a "Rome Nerd"...
Just a history buff who seeks history knowledge from different sources.
Even those who are heavily bias in favor of the concept of a "Roman Empire"..
Where both Europe and parts of Northern Africa is being ruled by one single dictator where all upper class twits and slave holders are from the 7 hills of Rome.
Sorry mac.
My view of Rome and Romans comes from Asterix.
Where the power of Rome is vastly overrated.
And fell on its own fat weight of arrogance, xenophobia and corruption.
Traits one can see traces of within Italy itself even today.

Maxentius is a prime example of a man who was demonized for being on the "wrong side of history" i.e. the losing side.
Same as Marcus Antonius
that's just an opinion
@@brianhammer5107 That's an opinion backed up by archeological evidence and contemporary documents.
@@strafe155 NO, it's an opinion of someone who wrote a paper. Disputed all over by other historians ...
@@brianhammer5107 YES. Archeological evidence and historical documents back up the fact that Maxentius was a well respected and efficient emperor.
I am sorry if that fact offends your Christian sensibilities.
Maxentius is like Domitian, nobody gives him any credit although he did a lot of good for the empire.
Define ''lot''.
@@MarceloHenriqueSoaresdaSilva If you're talking about Domitian, he helped improve the Roman economy by reducing inflation more than any other emperor at the time. The Senate hated him, just like they hated Nero, so his memory was damned after he was assassinated.
@@NateTheGnatalso he built many things in rome
@@anto-sk4ceDomitian also built the Hypogeum to the Colosseum….Domitian didn’t have good luck fighting the Dacisns…seems like Trajan gets all the credit for that which he prob should but it’s like even tho Domitian did somewhat good , it wasn’t on the scale of his father and brother
Domitian gets MUCH credit for his positive contributions - you do not know what you are talking about.
Wilhelm II of Germany: My reputation was wrongly destroyed by the Entente and their propaganda...
Maxentius of Rome: First time?
Sad to see how people can discount all the good that someone’s done because they were on the losing side. Thank you for shedding light on this Maiorianus, they usually just teach Maxentius as the guy Constantine defeated.
It is common even today; if you lose you are forget as don't make sense the enemy giving any attention to a loser.
That's precisely, for better or worse, who he was.
That's nothing more than an unqualified opinion.
Dearest Sebastian, I don't know how to thank you for this extremely complete, clear, relevant video, which does justice to an Emperor condemned by History and Propaganda to oblivion, despite his objective and documentable merits, through archeology, epigraphy, and the investigation in ancient historical archives, ecclesiastical and otherwise. Restoring dignity to Maxentius does not mean diminishing the historical scope or greatness of Constantine, but on the contrary, finally giving a clear and precise image of how epochal and definitive the clash between these two men was, the embodiment of two ways of conceiving life , society, power, the future. Constantine's victory shaped the world we live in today, probably a victory of Maxentius would have done the same, in ways we can hardly imagine today.
I thank you for acknowledging my studies and my activity as a reenactor, from a cultured and prepared person like you, I consider it a great honour. Ad Maiora!
Well said sir, reminds me of the rivalry between Julius Caesar and Pompey. Even though Caesar defeated Pompey, we still respect and celebrate Gnaeus Pompey as Pompey the Great. Will definitely check out your channel and it is good to see TH-cam content creators collaborating so productively!
@@michaelporzio7384 thank you very much for your kind words and appreciation 🤗
Dear Marco, it was a joy to collaborate with you on this important video. I am really happy that I could contribute at least a bit to your important work, on restoring the name of Maxentius. It really was the least I could do :)

It is a great shame that it will take many more years for Maxentius' name to be free from the lies, if ever.
Maximian get the worse; Constantine just ignored Maxentius; but of course he just used his bad reputation with christians as a weapon.
Maxentius' problem was that Constantine was a lot more experienced in both warfare and politics, having inherited his father's army and status as emperor. Maxentius was the last emperor to truly invest into Rome and its grandeur with his Rome being the last true imperial Rome. Constantine was not fond of the city and its aristocracy, so he founded Constantinople as a fortress for himself and his successors away from the eyes of Rome.
And Constantine inhereted some veteran legions who give him important advantages; besides; he is much more charismatic and pragmatic than Mexentius; this explain the reason why he get the Senatorial support in the first place together with the army; and in Rome these two things are the path to victory; besides; Constantinople are a strategical position in the middle of the west and east and important commercial and economic hub too.
Maxentius was a noob, Constantin was Super Pro.
@@delaval7767
More Maxentius.
He had exactly the same claim as Constantine (being the son of an augustus) but he couldn't enforce it by arms.
In other words, Maxentus was a person who wanted to do good. Constantine was a normaltrash who, like all normal people excelled at causing harm 😂
@@Thomas_Namebut the problem in your Argument in that way Maxentius is to naive in RealPolitics that kind of thinking will never achieve anything especially in Roman Politics that encourage petty corruption just look of the great Romans before all of them accepted of any form of " Gifts for giving little Helping Hand " that kind of leader who wanted Good thing but have no Spine to back it up will never succeed in his Work it will just be a Puppet Leader.
Yes, I completely agree. Maxentius was an underrated Emperor, who was unjustly covered in mud.
Same can be said about Domitian, Valens and Gallienus.
Maxencius was not that bad as he is portraited and Gallienus is one of greatest emperors in my opinion 🗿
Yes I like Valens
Valens definitely gets unnecessary hate, but he did make several mistakes one can only describe as elementary. He was essentially just a less talented less angry version of his brother.
I think Alexander severus and Philip the Arab were underrated
@@flaviusjconstantiushe basically had not enough Manpower to finish all the enemy at the same time, and when he tried to defeat fully the goths for their Aid toward procopius, he was forced to focus on eastern front before had enough time to crush the goths
The story of the son and son-in-law of Maximian coming to blows, resulting in the latter founding a city named after himself in his preferred location has big Romulus and Remus parallels, ironically. The difference, of course, is that Remus was deified as Lupercus and celebrated while Maxentius was damned.
Emperor Maxentius: The Senate can decided my fate.
Roman Emperors outside of Rome: I AM THE SENATE!
It was on the 28th of October when the Senate and the Imperial guard proclaimed Maxentius emperor. It was probably well known to the discontented elements in the city of Rome that the son of a former emperor was living close by, and he was a suitable target for the people of the city. Maxentius was formally approached and agreed to lead the discontented citizens and soldiers of Rome. The coins that he had minted in Rome and Ostia in the first months after his accession declared Maxentius to be Princeps, and not Augustus. This a title long defunct but one which recalled the emperors of the first and second centuries who had actually resided in Rome. However, he was well aware that the title of Princeps evoked the great emperors, notably Augustus.
I believe Maxentius demonstrated his love affair with Rome by erecting some of its largest buildings (e.g.) a new bath complex in the palace on the Palatine, these baths towered over the Circus Maximus in size and having chosen the palatine it was showcasing a concerted and determined effort to renew the imperial presence in Rome. The biggest of his buildings was a colossal basilica, which was alongside the Temple of Venus and Roma that the emperor had rebuilt after a fire. The basilica was finished in the name of Constantine. This seems to be part of the account in which Aurelius Victor tells us about, when he says that Constantine changed the buildings of Maexentius just enough in order to allow the senate rededicate them to Constantine and not Maxentius. One of his more elaborate designs was the villa he built on the Via Appia, it mirrored the Tetrarchic palaces
The extensive programme of public building concentrated on the centre of the city and incorporating some of the most advanced and impressive building techniques ever employed at Rome. Maxentius' buildings resuscitated the Forum, augmented its grandeur considerably, and surpassed the scale of tetrarchic work in the city centre
When we think of the Emperor Maxentius there is a multitude of images that people think of. However, a lot of these events are deeply entwined with the history that emerged after the Battle of the Milvian Bridge of 312 A.D. between Constantine and Maxentius. History has told us that he was the usurping and persecuting pagan emperor that the city was glad to be rid of.
The sources for the time are not always overtly helpful in that they come to us from two staunch supporters of Constantine, they are Eusebius and Lactantius. However, what it very encouraging in the reception studies of Maxentius is that Lactantius, who was an advocate of Christianity and Constantine did not present Maxentius as a persecutor.
This was compounded with the decision by Maxentius to not enforce the persecutory legislation of Diocletian and Galerius. This in turn led to the accusation that he was a ‘false’ Christian. These events came at a time of economic burdens and food shortages within the city. Thereby, deciding to overturn the persecution of Christians at this time was a strikingly significant, and despite, what seems, a genuine attempt to help the Christians in Rome, the propagandists in the court of Constantine did their best to brush over the truth. However, it was the African Christians who recalled the man responsible for the end of the persecutions at Rome.
“The storm of persecution passed over, and subsided. By the disposition of God, Maxentius sent pardon, and liberty was restored to Christians.” St. Optatus The Work of the African Bishop of Milevis 1.18 📗✍
In the words of John Curran ‘…These factors made Maxentius’ short reign an impressive combination of military survival, architectural vison and flawed statecraft’. 📗✍
I believe, like many of those within the comments, that Maxentius has been the victim of propagandists from within the court of Constantine. He might not have been the greatest Roman Emperors of all time, but he deserves a lot more credit than he is given. He certainly seems to have been an emperor who cared far more for the Eternal City than Constantine ever did.
This reminds me of how for the longest time Richard III had been characterized as a evil tyrant of a king. The Tudors stigmatized him as "Richard Crookback" and claimed he had a withered arm, one short leg, and a hump, all of which were certainly lies created to blacken his character and justify Henry Tudor's claim to the English throne.
Apparently, Richard did actually have a deformity: scoliosis.
Domitian, Maxentius, Eugenius, Valens, Romanos Diogenes, Valerian and Gallienus are all to an extent hated for their failures because of which their successes are getting ignored. All it takes is to lose an important battle or a couple provinces.
What about Valens was ignored? I admittedly don't know much about him except for the events leading up to/and the battle of Adrianople. Romanos Diogenes definitely belongs on that list
Late Roman clothing and battle wear is beautiful, almost fantasy looking.
But the shields were less than ideal. The old rectangular shields provided more cover to their bearers.
This is a superb video, not only is the life and seemingly unfair reputation of Maxentius thoroughly and critically presented and discussed, but it's such a pleasure to hear it done using such beautifully constructed English - bravo.
This is indeed original content, as well as unquestionable help to make the work of the researcher more widely known. Thanks.
Nice video about one of the most underestimated emperors! I've appreciated also the citation of the sources and links, very interesting, hope you can continue this!
Constantine = William the Conqueror
Maxentius = Harald Godwinson
Wouldn’t he be Harold Godwinson?
William didn't fight Harold Hardrada, in fact William hadn't even landed in England yet when Hardrada was killed in battle.

Love your channel. I have a degree, and a lifetime, studying Rome. But I learn more about the late empire from you, than I have anywhere else. You said it before, the late empire is often glossed over. Your channel is great.
Hello friend . Been at it since the mid fifties. I understand!!
Great to hear this other point of view. (I like that you depicted him as a total thirst trap, too. 🔥)
His bust gives off strong indications that he was quite a thirst trap irl 🔥🔥🔥
You're always at your best when discussing Majorian :)
Constantine followed Diocletian belief that the future was in the Greek east. The Latin west was over.
Excellent commentary. You are so correct about your guidance. First and foremost, as a teacher of Humanities I tell my students you MUST have historical empathy, an understanding of context and sensitivity to bias from any source used in an historical inquiry.
Very interesting idea!
Maybe a "When the Fall of the Eastern Roman/Byzantine Empire Became Inevitable?"
The quality of your videos is unbelievable and this is one of your best videos i think! This channel is one of the best things i have found on the entire internet
Great video as always. The new pictures are definitely improved the quality.
Maxentius sided with the city of Rome simply because e was an outcasts rejected by all the tetrarchs and their provincial forcees, so Italy was the only place he could find support, as Rome was greatly damaged by the tetrarchy reform.
But even in case of a victory of Maxentius, i think he would had moved the capital elswhere once the necessity of having it on his side was over. The Empire was still too large to re ruled from Rome and thus the frontiers would had been even more weaker.
We must rebuild his basilica, no negociation, what a shame.
Much awaited, much appreciated looking forward to excellent insights as always from you.
Maxentius was one of my favorite Emperors. Improved Rome. Brought Rome and the whole west glory and prestige. He was loved at the time and faced a lot of adversity growing up. I wish he defeated Constantine.
Love you channel! Keep up the great work!!!
Excellent video as usual. One of my favorite channels.
Great video! :-)
The Edict of Serdica 311 by co-Emperor Galerius for tolerance of Christians was also issued before Constantine's Edict of Milan in 313. It makes you question how much of history was written by propagandists. Accusing a person of "witchcraft" then had the same smear value as calling somebody a "racist" does today.
Yeah we must remenber that many pagan emperors like Trajan Aurelian Gallienus Alexander Severus or Philip the arab tolerated christians
@@CaesarAugustusBasileus I believe what was different about Constantine was that he legalized it, making it completely safe to practice out in the open, whereas the others merely tolerated it/looked the other way.
@@colbystearns5238 yes ! Constantine not only made it legal but even promoted
Severus have even christians working for him and don't give a shit.
@@colbystearns5238 The point is that christian revisionist history created many lies around the persecutions and the pagan emperors, if the pagan emperors truly wanted christianity disappear, they would have.
Great material. Keep up the good work.
It's a sad irony that Constantine disbanded Praetorian Guard not for them betraying their emperors, but because they stayed loyal to one.
Constantine the not so great.
Reconquering every province lost to ''Barbarians'' and unifying more than half of the empire don't makes you great; only xptolen is great or whatever.
Constantine the Mid.
Great work as always 🎉
His weakness was his military incompetence
And don't having support of the senatorial class like Constantine.
@@Insider887 No; every constantine battle he is in numerical disavantage; sometimes considerable; as he inheret one of the most weak provinces of the empire; still; with tons of veteran legions.
The life path of Maxentius looks remarkably similar to the life path of Constantine. The son of an emperor who should not have inherited and who was forced to make his own way through usurpation - like Constantine. Smart, active, charismatic, cunning - like Constantine. But unlike Constantine, he lost.
I def agree on almost everything but I think building second capital and one that strong was needed. Rome never had any good strategic or defensive position unlike Constantinopol
Interesting, thank you!
Poor *NERO*
SO misunderstood!
😝
the Roman people loved him.
Nero is the best example of an emperor who was quite good but people think he was one of the worst emperors . He was JUST a bad person but a quite good ruler 👀
Dear Sebastian,
thank you very much for sharing the outcome of our research. Marco and me have been spending a lot of efforts in analysing such a new corpus of documents, reconsidering the sources fairly without any bias, under a strict scientific method. It''s a great honour to see our works mentioned here as the scientific basis of one of your intriguing, well prepared videos. It's astonishing that some scholars completely discarded the Greek sources in Byzantine manuscripts containing legal documents of great importance or relied on Eusebius' account, for example, without verifying it more accurately.
I hope for further cooperation with you in future.
Ad Maiora
The most intriguing question about Maxentius is where he got the money to fund his megaprojets, bribe is enemies, and pay his army.
Fantastic. Informative. A real eye opener. Sadly, we ended up with the results of Constantine's rule.
Never heard about him before your video. What a shame
*laughs in Gallienus, Valens, Romanos IV, Nikephoros III, Maximinus Thrax etc
To be fair, I notice that online the go-to emperor when discussing underrated emperors is Gallienus. Valens and Romanos IV are getting a good deal of rehabilitation recently, too. But I totally agree with Nikephoros III and Maximinus Thrax
He is a chad to me.
Thanks!
And thank you Sir, for your kind donation, I really appreciate it very much :)
My next disposable cash goes to you to support your excellent work!
At least we have his regalia.
Constantine is the most overrated emperor ever, of course by Christian scholars. He stood on the shoulders of giants ( Gallienus, Aurelian, Diocletian) and tore down all they accomplished. His economic reforms, backing the gold solidus and decertified the bronze coinage ruined the economy in the west and directly led to its fall 150 years later. He wasn’t the first to redevelop Byzantium either, that was done by Severus in early 3rd century.
Cope.
@@palacehaunter5442 Truth hurts
@@doublem1975x Constantine was a genius. He would have butchered Aureilian had they met in battle. And paraded his head all over Rome and then in Nova Roma. Constantinople and Christianity permanently in the empire his legacy. Aureilian legscy getting assasinated by his payed off troops.
@@palacehaunter5442 Everything you’ve stated is incorrect.
''He stood on the shoulders of giants''
Gallienus giant ? besides; the gold solidus is probably to gain support from the senatorial class who he just restored to old glory and prestige and to fix the inflation problem in the empire; especially about imports and exports; but honestly; Diocletian did much more than in him in economic matters i need to admit; but his political and military reforms are more profound; especially religious ones; and i don't even talking about military victories that he scored more than Gallienus or Diocletian together with the exception of Aurelian; as fighting agains barbarians and restoring more than half of the empire is not a easy thing to just say ''he stood on the shoulds of giants''; and saying that it lead to the fall of the west 150 years is a absurd; the west is alredy weak because economic and civil wars compared to the east; this is history illiteracy and oversimplification; try again.
In the BBC documentary Maxentius consults the augurs who sacrificed a goat and analyzed its innards. They told him that the enemy of Rome would be defeated, so, filled with confidence, he went out to see the victory over Constantine. Instead the prophecy failed, the enemy of Rome won, and the dark ages were made inevitable. 😭
PS I can tell from his bust that he was a beautiful 😍 thirst trap 🔥🔥🔥 and I'm glad you portrayed him as one, unlike the Beeb which depicted him as an ugly, corpulent bastard 😠😡👿🤬
Seems the "Lemon Tree" franchise goes way back to the times of the Roman emperors, judging by their hairstyles!
Maybe One Vídeo To Emperor Diocletian.
How Is This Possible I Was Just Watching Videos About Julius Caesar And Then This Notification Pops Up!
I blame their six-fingered hands. They just couldn't cope with the five-fingered hands of Constantine's host.
Nero has also been treated very unfairly imho.
Domitian definitely comes to mind here
He is just a child in man job; too much romantization by people who don't know anything about history and how Rome worked in that time.
Constantine was the better soldier and strategian,compared to Maxentius.He served with distinction,under Diocletian and Galerius in the wars they conducted,against the germanic tribes and the Sassanids,as a tribune of the first order.After taking the purple,he was also able to win three civil wars,while also managing after countless victorious battle to recover Dacia and lower Germania.The truth is that Constantine always fought with his men in the front lines,due to his martial prowress (This can be attested by the wounds he received at Adrianople for example),while many of his oppoments,like Maxentius didn't.Compared to other emperors,like Valens or Gallienus,I find Maxentius lacking.
Son of asshole 😂😂😂Constantine
@@SanjayKumar-jd3bvThe copium is strong,within you.
Yes, one was a philosopher, the other was a butcher.
I would not blame Constantine himself for the overzealous propagandizing of Eusebius, indeed the way Eusebius depicts Constantine himself goes against how Constantine wanted to be seen, Eusebius wanted to present Constantine as closing Pagan Temples like the good Kings of the Old Testament but in fact he did nothing like that. Lactantius meanwhile doesn't imply Maxentius persecuted Christians, in fact in chapter 43 of How the Persecutors Died he says there is only one Adversary of God left referring to Daia at a point when Maxentius is still reigning. Licinius is another Emperor Eusebius claimed persecuted Christians who probably didn't.
and he stopped the persecution of the True Faith, though of course he remained a pagan.
The true faith came out a couple hundred years later on a peninsula in western Asia.
The "true faith" that doesn't resist the slightest of scientific research lol
Questions like did he kill hundreds of Christians including Catherine of Alexandria or not?
I p on Constantine's old bones
The unfortunate thing about Maxentius is that, even if he had been tarnished by history and was an underrated emperor, he had to take a back seat to literally Constantine.
Not an average emperor, not an above average emperor... Literally top 3 emperors of all time (top 5 if you are so inclined).
It's unfortunate, and maybe he did do plenty of good, but would I have taken him over Constantine? Never.
Indeed.
He's like Mark Antony or Pompey.
A man of a ability but forever overshadowed by his colossal enemy.
We get it, you don't like Constantine THE GREAT. I could spend the next few hours eulogizing how he saved the Empire for centuries to come and in all his honor and glory changed the world. But that STILL wouldn't do him justice..
Constantine the child killer fits him more. How about Constantine the wife beater? better?
👍🏼
Although I am more of an admirer of Constantine the Great and consider him one of the best Roman emperors, I agree that Maxentius was an ok emperor and really improved Rome. Especially when we talk about its famous thermal baths. I think that he was also influenced by the negativism that he did not abolish the controversial Praetorian Guard which was later abolished by Constantine. Certainly an excellent analysis.
Constantine was a usurper and tyrant. This guy killed his own son and abandoned the west. Britain was stripped so was the west.
This guy killed st Kathrin of Alexandria.
interesting if... but there is little proof in this sense
Interesting fact: the Maxentius' insignia are the only example of imperial regalia recovered from ancient Rome

It has to be noted you are just an AMATEUR, and your opinions are unqualified. The BBC documentary is backed by historians/scholars whose background is much, much, much more solid than this commercial YT channel. Someone writing a paper does not make them correct - papers are examined in university round tables, and if a majority find them viable, they are added into teaching. If not, then it remains an isolated study.

The brittish caused that war, not the romans. When Rome controlled the whole Levant, those things didn't happen.
Gotta be honest, Constantine isn't one of the best emperors in my opinion. Actually, I think he was a complete disaster for Rome.
The bible is a promise to the reader that all nations who follow false gods will be submitted... that is why Constantine won. Prophecy needed to be fulfilled and the bible needed to be written under a universal standard. Under Constantine this all happened.
Nah he won by the circumstances. The fact you want to side with a child murderer domestic abuser like Constantine, says a lot about christianity.
Constantine the Almoghty >>>> Maxentius the Fool.
Constantine son of **"""😂 like your comments
Stop begging for money. Romans didn't beg.
You know how these things are, its politics.
It's like hearing the jokes about Biden.
Yes, of course there's a lot to laugh, but people will not laugh if they know what means having his problems and still have to try to be a moderate leader, busy in keeping the country alive, while he's too at risk of dying for old age and probably some serious health problems, facing the threat of a world war, terrorism, all those problems americans and sometimes their allies too have.
It's unfair. Yet people laugh.
Probably in future Biden wil receive some serious and respectful biography and historical articles that will give him justice.
After all, like Pericles said once: "no one of the athenian mothers had to wear the black for my cause".
That's a huge heritage for a leader.
Biden is trying to do the same thing unlike political opponents that wants the war. And yet, we can say a lot of critics about his political agenda, but the fact he is a moderate is per se a motif of proud. Not shame.
Biden is not like Maxentius. Biden is a senile old man who probably has Alzheimer's and who was appointed by the oligarchs to be president even though he is not fit to lead the place and won only because he was not Trump and put his country and the whole world in danger. In addition, he does not lead, but the people (his administration) around him lead this crazy policy that can really lead to great danger. If we compare today's America with Biden, it is at the level of the Roman Empire at the time of the military crisis during the third century.
Biden has jacked up inflation and made everything worse, you shill! We didn't have a lot of these problems under Trump, and the border was more secure.
I appreciate and am excited about this fairly historical coverage and explanation about a great emperor (Maxentius) of late Roman empire terms.
