It was an absolute pleasure conversing about Roman bridges with you in the heart of Rome!
We were glad to have you in Rome for a while!! 👏👏
Saludos Manuel! Cool video.
i was expecting the two of you to have been talking in latin with just the english subtitles
I once walked over a bridge and found myself walking into a hospital. It was extremely hot out, but inside it was so cool. I sat inside the reception hall for hours just watching the Roman people about their business. Beautifull bridge and facinating people. Rome is overwhelming, one visit is never enough.😊
Two big figures in Roman buildings in the same video: Darius and Manuel!! I love their productions--both of them. I knew Darius is a professor of archaeology, but had no idea Manuel was a bona fide architect. He looks so young for that! Thanks Darius and Manuel for this informative video.
Each time I am back in Rome I‘ll take a walk along the Tevere. The contrast between tourists sprawling streets and the calm river side where you have Rome almost to yourself is quite remarkable.
Joy to see two great channels together.
My two favorite Ancient Rome experts together! I’m totally geeking out! Please do more videos together.
I just left my own post, but forgot to ask for more of Darius and Manuel, together. I am glad you did. I gave yours a "thumbs up"!
Wow! So awesome to listen to these two converse about ancient rome. Would love to see more collaboration between you two.
Been to Roma 31 times. Will be there next week for 2 weeks Rome is home
My two favourite TH-cam Romaphiles together… keep collaborating guys. Love your work.
Manal is one of my favourite youtubers, great channel he has ❤
Manuel.
I was already there, Darius! I am already subscribed to, both, you and Manuel Bravo! Who doesn't like enlightenment?
I LOVE this collaboration!!! 🤩🩵💯
Bravo 👏, many thanks!
Manuel Bravo es genial .... yo lo sigo hace ya un tiempo !!!
Wow, I've been subscribed to Manuel's channel for over a year!
Love your channel Manuel. Keep up the excellent work!
Muchas gracias Darius y Manuel, escucharlos a ustedes es genial, he aprendido mucho sobre la antigua Roma gracias a ustedes. Eternamente agradecida. Saludos desde Chile.
This is why I enjoy your videos so much. This is a completely new perspective on the history of Rome for me - I was not aware of the magnitude of the flooding, just for starters. Many thanks
Darius and Manuel - excellent
Fun fact: The Pope is called the pontiff from Latin "Pontifex" literally bridge builder/maker. The Romans really liked their bridges.
Interesting fun fact, which you just shared. Thanks!
Great show guys! Really like it
I believe the Tiber is been cleaned up at least in part for the first time in a 1000 yrs--so this excellent news.
😂
Manuel Bravo !!!
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼absolut fabulous
Greetings from Querétaro México !
Only seeing it a month late, but it made my day. You guys are part of my life, as will be the reality for so many other people, blessed by the connectivity of TH-cam and the internet. Darius, you are always so passionate and takes us behind the scenes and even deep down into the foundations of our European history. And Manuel, it is such a pleasure to hear you muse about history, architecture and city planning, that I sometimes see a complete video by you in both your languages. Really great to see the mutual sympathy. What I sometimes miss in these video's is a map, a drawing, images helping us to understand the situation, but hey, internet, so in a few minutes I will see bridges in Rome, from Google Earth to real or virtual maquettes of ancient Rome. Thanks, guys, I am so happy to know you.
Great info! I’ve walked across many of Rome’s bridges but the St. Angelo is the most ‘Hollywood Backdrop Bridge’ in the beautiful city.
Yes!!
Thank you. This helped very much to consider the situation that led them to enclose the river as they have.
I've been a fan of Manuel's channel for a while now. It's cool to see him collaborate with Darius.
I deeply admire Roman builders, how what they built still survives at places. There is an old Roman bridge over a river in Vaison-la-Romaine (south of France) that is still used nowadays. It's naturally been restored and consolidated since the days of the Roman Empire. But I find it amazing that its base, its original structure is still strong enough for having modern cars drive on it safely, 2000 years after its construction.
Your videos are excellent - thank you! Darius and Manuel - you could stop all background music or rhythm ... it is not needed. Thanks again.
I would love for you to describe the age, architecture and function of the extant buildings on Tiber Island, as well as their ancient precursors. What is the current building complex there used for?
That is for another video - we do have one from a few years ago of course if you search our TH-cam under places and monuments
Very interesting. Thanks for the information provided in the video.
His channel is very good, so well researched and presented, rich in history
Absolutely fantastic video.I have never heard about or learned the history of these bridges ect.Very fascinating.I will follow Manuel also.👏
Awesome content. Thank you.
I love this channel, so glad I found it. Always so interesting and packed with information. Darius is one of my favorite presenters. He always makes it easy to understands and very interesting. Thumbs up. Or I guess in Romanesque it should be thumbs down.... lol
Hello and thank you. I really enjoyed this (and all) your videos. I watched it two or three times. On another topic do you have any idea when the Museum of Roman Civilization will reopen. We've tried to visit this museum for years and it seems like its been closed forever. I would love to see the model in my lifetime.
I liked this blog. Subscribed manuel bravo channel too
Interesting episode. In visits to Rome I recall sensing the Tiber is not an important part of the city like it is in London or Paris. But I visited when the water was very low both times and assumed it wasn't ever used for transport.
The Tiber connected Rome to the Mediterranean. Without the Tiber there wouldn't have been an empire!
Interesting insights
Manuel, Have you any intentions of coming to England and talking about the architecture of the City of Bath?
Measures were taken during the Roman period to alleviate flooding of the Tiber. An inscription from AD 46 (CIL XIV 85) commemorates Claudius as having delivered Rome from the dangers of flooding through the construction of canals while building his new port to the north of Ostia.
Thanks
Manuel was kinda nervous , nice vid!
Interesting!
So cool
THERE ARE SEVER ORIGINAL AND ELABORATE ROMAN BRIDGES IN SPAIN, CORDOBA, SALAMANCA, OTHERS. TOO
On the island is a hospital. Hospitals - a gift of the culture of Christendom.
Greetings Mr. Arya,
I would like to ask a question: Supposedly there was a marble statue depicting King Numa Pompilius in the Villa Albani and there are several drawings and lithographs of it, however I've never seen an actual image of the statue. Do you know if it's still there and does it actually depict Numa ?
It's always a "supposed" depiction... along the lines of the "Brutus" in the Capitoline. A readily visible statue of a Roman king is the one of "Numa", found in the Atrium Vestae - on display there today.
Thanks for the answer!
Is there a recent guidebook to Pompeii and Herculaneum you would recommend?
Great video ... but Darius, you started with "let's take a walk," and then you were stationary for nearly all of the video. :-)
I could've taken a ferry to Ostia? That was an opportunity missed. Next time, I guess.
The perfume river
👏
Can we take a moment to acknowledge just how handsome Manuel is? beautiful face and eyes.
Poor Manuel - he could hardly get a word in edgewise! I had the impression that HE had been invited to talk about this topic...
Minute 1:30 Ostia should be at the other side..
Great work.Why do not Rome city remove all the threes and growth because it will slowly destroy the structure?. Roots and grass implode the stone work!. All the best.
Rome has always been landscaped - also in Antiquity- never a sterile environment ✌️
ok
A shame so many of the bridges and flood walls are marked with graffitti, otherwuse a great team telling great stories.
Thank you! Yes graffiti is a problem!!
What is with ALL the graffiti ?
Don't keep interrupting your guest speaker. It's rude and ignorant because you evidently had this guy on for a reason. He withstood this discourtesy well but I could tell he was annoyed.
Synergies.
Alcántara Bridge is not a roman bridge, there was a roman bridge there, yes, but that aín't the roman one, which was destroyed several times. What you can see there now is just a modern reconstruction with that awful arc above it, done probably in Catholic Kings times. None of its current features corresponds with roman technique.
Italy was cool. But watching ur video while I was there it pissed me off so much graffiti. Y’all should have 5 year jail sentences to who spray paint that crap. It’s horrible.
En español por favor
Hola puedes activar los subtítulos en español en configuración, luego traducción automática. Yo veo estos videos en mi teléfono celular y no tengo problema. Saludos 🙋♀️
You didn’t let Manuel speak at all. Maybe look at yourself from the side, eh
