Now now, I just ordered your book AND I love your long interviews! My area is Medieval (particularly 1300-1500) so I’m wayyyyy out of my normal sphere but your sense of humour and lovely manner, your topics and all around love for the classics has charmed me, what can I say?!
I've started to say along "Naked Statues, fat Gladiators and war Elephants" the name itself seemingly is effective marketing lol. I haven't bought it yet, but I will definitely get it eventually!

Great work! Roman attitudes towards love and romance highlight how much we have in common with them as well as just how divergent our culture And values are
Roman: "I'm in love, Caesar" Domitian: "Congratulations, son of Romulus! What cult does the lucky girl pray to, by the way?" Roman: "Vesta, Caesar..." 😉 Domitian: 🤬
I saw the frescoes in person when I visited Pompeii with an archaeology class. We decided they were the equivalent of the picture menus at those little restaurants in Manhattan, where you walk in, point to the sign, and say "I want a number two."
Interesting topic. I will take this knowledge with me on my planned time machine trip to ancient Rome, inspired by your three guide book programs a couple of years ago.
All through history around the world, romantic love is a rare luxury after all, even when material needs are met. So you can't expect much of that in Rome where most ppl barely made ends meet.
Well, this is quite enlightening! I was amused as I stumbled across your channel today (Does size matter?) and subscribed right away, but this particular video really got me since part of it reflected a portion of this crazy intense dream I had this morning. Thank you for sharing your great work and clever humour!
The tune at the beginning is the same note progression as "The Lick" in jazz (a sort of recurring auditory joke)! Had me in stitches! Here's what I mean: th-cam.com/video/krDxhnaKD7Q/w-d-xo.html
Speaking of Ovid, his best work about love is "Phyramus and Thisbe", the story of the forbidden and tragic relationship between two young Babylonians whose families maintain a fierce rivalry between them. Too bad that story was plagiarized centuries later by a presumptuous Briton...
Next recommend after this video was 'Dating the Great Pyramid' by David Miano. Of course he was discussing how to establish its age, but in the context of this video, it made me look twice!
Many thanks for the valentines day video! my wife and i love your content. This is off subject but i hope someone will read it. Could anyone tell me what book it was that he showed us in a video that had "the knights of the round cheese" I would like to know the name of that book so i can buy it.
i am pretty sure that 'romely fans' would get ZERO followers but only b/c it wouldn't resonate in our wonderful, 21st century culture. i LOVE the 3d intro w/the channel thumbnail!! . . .
"statistically speaking, have never watched". Well, "seldom" is more apt, but I'll try to correct that. I did watch the recent valuable coin-cleaning video, quite good (*****).
@@enotsnavdier6867 not always, could actually be innocent. We're just surrounded by so much perversion these days that we assume the worst. It's weird and concerning but not fucked up
@just wasting time on yt Following someone is not innocent. Even if the person following has no intention to do anything, it's still incredibly fucked up
I would love to know whose work are the "marble bench" paintings, some are quite humorous. Edit: It is John William Godward (1861 - 1922) an English painter.
You know why I haven’t subscribed or watched any of your other channels? I’m inept. I see the two squares appear when you mention them but they’re not links. How can I get to them? I’ve only been using TH-cam since 2010
1:23 You want LOVE? Well, HERE IT IS 2:45 Portrait of Ovid, you say? Not even close. 6:35 The dread 1800s has put Abe on a pedestal again (far right) 7:20 A marble pastiche, and not a very good one
Curiously Ovid also wrote "Medicamina Faciei Femineae", a didatic poem on the use of cosmetics by Roman Women. In this video, the opus was properly alluded through the sponsor words.
I am following a course on the Roman Familia and am considering to write an essay about marriage. I would like to explore the age of marraige and the choice of a marriage partner that you discussed. Do you have any good primary or secendary sources for this topic?
Now imagine the smells of the ancient world. Roman streets full of smelly people with unwashed clothing. No soap, shampoo, deodorant, nadda just perfumed oils. Now imagine walking thought these urine stained streets with graffiti on the walls. Robbers, cut throats, drunken soldiers, just getting home alive was a major feat in ancient Rome. Home? for the plebs would mean ten people to a confined smelly room on the fifth floor. Violence was common, as everyone fought for respect and space. It would have been considered for most people, like living in a third world country. Walking the streets hearing Latin, Greek, Babaloynian, Egyptian, Hebrew, and other assorted foreign languages
I was going to say this video came out a day too late, but it's really 2000 years late, so what's a day more?

Absolutely award-winning humor in this one
The way he doesnt change his tone of voice during the jokes gets me everytime.

More likely "We Are One" by Lydia Van Huston (from the OST of the 1979 Caligula movie) in this case. It's a pretty good song, to be honest. Here are the lyrics:
We are one
Hold me close
Let me feel your arms around me
Our love transcends all time
We'll never part
Can't you feel my love inside your heart
A brother to me you'll always be
Love so deep it let us be free
You're part of me
We are one, and they say
Created by the same father
Our love transcends all time
Our souls are joined together
We will never part
Can't you feel my love inside your heart
Many a lover you know
If your love is the one from which I've grown
You're not alone
We are one
Hold me close
Let me feel your arms around me
Our love transcends all time
We'll always be together
We will never part
We are one
Hold me close
Let me feel your arms around me
Our love transcends all time
Our souls are joined together
We will never part
Because we are one
We are one
We are one!
As a time traveler who is down on his luck with dating apps, this is very useful. Thank you toldinstone. Very cool.
jus go back in time to neanderthalic times and smash humanoids like i do.
Vietnam was a real trip without acid , Acuna , Mexico is even more deadly. !
Ovids guide to love is pretty funny. He literally says to lie to women, promise them random stuff, and have multiple mistresses.
Idk why but I think this would work
Update: It works

Never felt so called out when I was googling those Lupinar frescos
6:36 Am I the only one who finds kinda poetic that one of the protagonists of the love story about two guys fighting to death to get the prize is called Severus?
He paid no attention to his fans evidently.
But only one was "Successus-ful"
That was fun! Seriously amusing stuff. Many thank-yous!
Great work! Roman attitudes towards love and romance highlight how much we have in common with them as well as just how divergent our culture And values are
These romantic era paintings of Rome have put quite a spell on me.
Anyone know the artist? Or names of the paintings?
Do a googlesearch for "Henryk Siemiradzki" to find several of them.
John William Godward, Lawrence Alma Tadema, William Adolphe Bougereau, Jean-Léon Gérôme, etc. etc. but I think most of these are by Godward.
Roman: "I'm in love, Caesar"
Domitian: "Congratulations, son of Romulus! What cult does the lucky girl pray to, by the way?"
Roman: "Vesta, Caesar..." 😉
Domitian: 🤬

Excellent TH-cam channel. Relevant and interesting information presented in a, at times, tongue-in-cheek manner.
This was very fun, and the illustrations so well chosen.
I love the Foreo before/after facials. But I think Dr. Ryan's Romans Only fan page would do really well!

This video is entertaining, educational, and funny! Thank-you for improving my day.
Love crossed all boundaries in Ancient Rome
Great video! I have to admit when I read the title I thought "Whoa! Where is he goin' with this?!" Thank you! :)
I watch your other channels and got the book!! Bravissimo!
I was crying laughing the whole way thru this... Thanks, I needed that!
Need a romance set in ancient times.
The editor really had fun with this one lol. Great work
This guy is so funny. The commercial is priceless.
Great job, per usual, Garrett 👏
great mini-documentary as always!
How did I not know that toldinstone literally had the jawline of a roman statue
I just discovered your wonderful channel and have been binge watching your videos all morning. Of course I subbed!
2:12 That reminds me of the statue outside the BBC in London. Older male with a naked young boy. Seems nothing has changed.
great video as always!
One of your best videos!
omg i was worried the sponsor was going to be for an electrical...marital aid 🙂
No, no, those are rabbits.
I love your videos so much. The humor is top tier. XD

Thanks to this video i just discovered ovids poetry
Such a fine and simple poet 👌🏼
Aaah, those were the times when our Latin teacher would read Ovid with us!
the lick intro!
The tune at the beginning is the same note progression as "The Lick" in jazz (a sort of recurring auditory joke)! Had me in stitches!
Here's what I mean: th-cam.com/video/krDxhnaKD7Q/w-d-xo.html
Check out Earl Grey - The Lick
Severus and Successus don’t seem to understand that, as a barmaid, Iris was just trying to get a bigger tip.
Speaking of Ovid, his best work about love is "Phyramus and Thisbe", the story of the forbidden and tragic relationship between two young Babylonians whose families maintain a fierce rivalry between them. Too bad that story was plagiarized centuries later by a presumptuous Briton...

We read fragments of ars amatoria in latin class and we cackled the whole hour, it's too funny
What are all those beautiful paintings? They look Pre-Raphaelite
Most of them are. 6:49 painting is Godward's "In the Days of Sapho".
Anyone else notice the new intro jingle is an like an classical version of “the lick”. Unintentional or not it made me chuckle
I just ordered your book a few days ago.
Love your videos
Buy Garrett's book, folks! It's great! If you like these videos you'll like his book!
I know I love this video

Back then, following your true love around town unawares, was called a crush, not stalking.
We're in love, she just doesn't know it yet 😊😊😊
And it was just as fucked up then as it is now

10:16 just as a came back from my google image search, lol
It's been a while since I tuned in. Has your intro always been the lick on a lyre?
haha besides the main subject of your videos I am also enjoying your sense of humor

Edit: It is John William Godward (1861 - 1922) an English painter.
Thanks!
The hairstyles look pretty cool, would be interesting to see a video on that
I saw a painting of a dude in Pompei. He was weighing something much heavier than gold...
That was a portrayal of Priapus.
@toldinstone you should do a video about Cincinnatus and his story
I am confused about the ad. Is it a real thing?! 😂😂 It sure was funny!
I love how very unconvincingly he presents the products of his sponsors 😆 How good that he does not work in marketing!
