It’s honestly so impressive to see the Byzantines dominance in Europe for so long especially considering the constant wars they were always engaged in against the massive empires of Middle East
Byzantines never existed. They were the Romans since ancient times. The division between "Byzantines" and "Romans" is nothing more than a fiction spun by western Europeans since the 9th century AD, one still in continuation until today.
@oppionatedindividual8256 Rome was bilingual. The Latin half collapsed and slowly rebuilt by Germanic, Latin speaking barbarians while the East kept strong. It'd take until the medieval warm period for the west to truly compare

dude your content is phenomenal. Just found this channel a couple days ago and have already watched about two hours. I know for a fact that if this channel gets noticed more it will blow up; I follow much larger ancient history channels that are much less polished in their scripts(none of this is news to you, you already know you do a good job). oddly enough when i went back to find your channel a second time I noticed that searching "Serapeum" in youtube does not bring this channel up--just a bunch of videos about the serapeum of saqqara-I had to search "Serapeum Rome" to find it again. I am not sure if this information is useful to you but you deserve to be noticed more.
Not really Catholic. The term may have been coined by a Catholic, but it wasn't until the late 19th century when the term came into common and official use when post-enlightenment era scholars were establishing fields of study and curriculum for universities in the US and western Europe. Before that "Byzantine empire" was just meant in reference to its capitol. There also were actual Byzantines who had their own unique and important history(667bc-195ad-330ad).
Yes, and the term has real value. Though the Byzantines were "Roman" at least politically during that later period, the empire's center and people had shifted.
Odacer is just a western Roman emperor tons of emperors have usurped the throne and tons of have been from other places like Gaul Britannia Syria, etc.

I am surprised that you do not mention the impact of the great schism of 1054 and the consequences, 17 years later the total rooting out of, in south italy , of the greek byzantine orthodox governance .The schism had an immense effect as normans sided with the Paupe and overcome the byzantine ruling Also it depends of what side you look at the Ecclesiastical history Was the Patriarch of Konstantinopoli that was drifting apart .from where ? Or the Roman bishop ,Paupe , who included the Filioqwe in the Nicæan Decree ? Something that goes on up to now dividing the Churches Easily after 1071 and gradually the ortodox church and Credo changed in south italy The last insult was the Florence synod of 1446? THUS the remaining orthodox had to submit to Rome Although still remaining places that follow the orthodx rites even today but in a Uniate form
Это ж про Ромейскую Италию, а поход Мануила I Комнина (последняя попытка ромеев закрепиться в Италии) на Сицилию как раз завершился миром с норманнами в 1158-ом году.
All the luxury videos in TH-cam (like this one) seem to be serving the same "atzzzeenntttaaa"! That Byzantium was "Roman" with no Greek constituents! That's false narrative alright! The Eastern Mediterranean wasn't "Roman" even during its proper Roman occupation (2nd century BCE - 4th century CE). In reality, it was highly "Hellenized"! Apart the Roman Prefect and his entourage very few people in the Eastern Mediterranean spoke Latin or kept practicing Latin customs and traditions! Let alone during its Byzantine period, when it was predominantly Greek with some Roman constituents! But certainly not "Roman" - especially from the 6th century CE onwards!
There's no agenda, it's just that people aren't braindead. The Byzantine institutions were Roman and the people on it were ethnically Greek (or others) but still Romans.
Little criticism. Sardinia was split between a few judges, it wasn't a single entity. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sardinian_medieval_kingdoms Good video all around.

@@ΒασιλείατῶνῬωμαῖων Latin vs Greek. Rome is not a legacy you want more than Hellenic civilisation.

Byzantines are not Romans since 645. And overall, it was always a failed state.

6:00 that is the most byzantine emperor cause of death ever
He was also stabbed, in a bathhouse, like Commodus
How about Byzantine Africa next?
The Muslims ruined everything
It lasted from 532 to 709 ad
It's no easy feat to blast through 700 years of history with such an array of actors messing around in Italy, but you did an admirable job.

Byzantine wasn’t a real thing just a catholic invention. It was called the Roman Empire.
Agreed

It was a Greek failed state (much like Greece today, lol). CRY MORE. BYZANTINE IS DEAD. ISTANBUL is TURKIYE 💪💪💪☪
It was just a good term created to differentiate between the rump state of rome and the dominate empire of romw
Great work man, fuck YT's algorithm, this will blow up the day it gets up on the right foot
Very good
It's crazy how Venice lived from the coronation of Charlemagne to the rise of Napoleon.
lol
I get the feeling of religious nonsense was absent, then reforms and security interests would have been allowed a better chance of strengthening ER.
Yeaaa buddy. Lunch hour just got better

Odoacer was not a Roman citizen, he couldn't be a Roman Emperor.

There's no Byzantium in the first place. It's like studying New Amsterdam culture in Hollywood. It's basically the same entity.

Also it depends of what side you look at the Ecclesiastical history
Was the Patriarch of Konstantinopoli that was drifting apart .from where ? Or the Roman bishop ,Paupe , who included the Filioqwe in the Nicæan Decree ?

No such thing as Byzantine Italy. Parts of geographic Italy were controlled by the Roman imperial government until 1158 AD.
no it was not, rome was gone
