Except when they don't. The Suleiman episode had many serious criticisms, and they just refused to interact with historiography because they don't want "quibble over sources". They even say they are not historians.
I think there's one example where they either said France instead of Germany or used the French Flag instead of the German Flag (they have long running issues with flags, so that seems more likely). So...yeah. ^_^
"Good" leaders creating something incredible, but which their successors lack the skills and/or resources to hold together... I'm reminded of so many other series you've done in which a "great" leader does that exact thing. The idea of settling for less when one can get more doesn't quite sit right with me on an emotional level, but no logical rebuttal occurs to me off the top of my head. After all, "great" leaders have been sacrificing my future to enrich their present for longer than I've been alive.
@The Martial Lord of Loyalty Justinian particularly. Robin Pierson in The History of Byzantium has correctly made the point that Justinian set the empire for downfall by putting his own personal glory ahead of the necessities of the people.
The Byzantines survived for hundreds of years after Justinian and much of it came down to the realisation that they were in a strategically poor location. After Justinian their strategy centred around pitching their enemies against each other rather than fighting themselves. When they had to fight they never bled their enemy too badly because that enemy might become an ally in future. The Byzantine empire laid the groundwork for modern foreign politics and peacemaking. Remember, they only fell because they didn't, or couldn't pay off the fourth crusaders.
The sociologist Ibn Khaldun talked about such a thing happening on a 4-5 generation schedule. The first generation establishes an institution, and if they are virtuous than the institution will thrive into the 2nd and 3rd generations, but by the 4th generation there is no one left alive with living memory of the founders, and by the 5th generation the institution is subject to collapse. Any institution that lasts longer than this is remarkable.
Yeah what the heck was he talking about "doesn't cover the whole Third Century Crisis"? I'd argue it's FAR more detailed on the crisis than these videös.
Another lie: The artist of the Osprey book is Angus McBride not Andy. He was a true legend in historic illustration and is also known for his great covers for the Middle Earth Role Playing (Merp) books.
Here’s he list of actually competent during the Crisis of the Third Century -Decius -Valerian -Gallien -Claudius Gothicus -Aurelian -Probus -Diocletian
It's tradition.. just like I knew I should look up this Lies episode as I've seen this series 'theme music' episode in my youtube feed, meaning this one should have been published.
They used to get some amount of flak for it way back in the beginning, "how reliable is a series that literally follows their own videos up with an episode called 'lies,'" etc. It's basically just a tradition now though. (I'm still holding out that someday they'll change it to "the flags we screwed up" though.)
so harsh to call it lies. It wasn't intentional? It's more like unbelievable, world shattering incompetence (I kid). Go easy on yourselves. History is hard, there is often not enough information or conflicting views. Do the best you can. You should be proud of your work. We are informed and entertained. What more could we ask for. History is cool (current events, not so much).
Sometimes they do lie by going with the cool story that isn't true versus the more likely boring truth, though. The explanation about Valerian's death at 7:30 is one example. Another one that I can think of is the story about Gavrilo Princip's sandwich from the Seminal Tragedy series.Both of these are dubious but kinda too cool to leave out, so it gets left in to be corrected in the Lies episode. Also, there is sometimes a euphemistic use of the term, when someone has given incorrect information, for that person to humorously claim that they're just a big ol' liar instead. I think the title kind of falls between the two usages.
If you care enough for the WOW factor and not at all about the human suffering, you can cut up the corps and recover it. Won't lose a gram... The Mongol would not kill princes by spilling their blood, so they would put a big plank over them and march their whole army on that plank, to crush the life from the victims. Someone who would do all that logistic, could very easily decide to melt a few spoonfuls of gold an poor it down a victim's throat - and recover it after.
The gold can be recovered afterwards without too much issue. Scraps of scorched human tissue float in liquid gold, so just cut it out of their throat, stomach and mouth, heat it back up, skim the bits off and you're good as gold.
I mean technically you can recover the gold... But greedy men dying from molten gold makes for a good, poetically just death which probably explains it's popularity in ancient sources.
Could you guys do a history series about the Paraguayan War? I’m a big fan of the channel and I really liked your videos about Simon Bolívar, but, as a brasilian, I feel most of my country’s and South America’s vast history is still ignored or unkown by the general foreign public, with only few moments, such as Simon’s campaigns, barely standing out in books or media. The Paraguayan War was probably the biggest individual conflict ever fought in South America and it had vast conseguences in the internacional political spectrum, iniciating the decline of the brasilian monarchy (which led to the declaration of our republic) and also laying the ground for the uruguaian independence. On top of that, it is my favorite historical period ;-) PLEASE DO IT!
Yes! The Yale Courses videos you recommended are fantastic! I listened to them a while ago whenever I would run or bike. Paul Freedman has an entertaining way of telling the history.
Random observation: You have practically the same voice, vocal intonation, inflections, sayings, timing, and laugh as Edward Snowden. I'd swear it was him narrating this.
I think people are generally a little confused about how Roman religion, and paganism by the concept of modern organized religion. There is no real centralized thinking that you should worship x,y, and z gods across the empire. Fragmentation was beyond regional gods worship and whatnot. A way to maybe grasp the concept in a more simple way is you could talk to ten people in a major city who would each tell you different gods they worship; you may hear some over lap, but will basically hear very different lists.
Early Christian "Pacifism" is somewhat misunderstood. Roman legions marched behind their religious symbols and often carried out religious ceremonies before battles. These were anathema to Christians. Early in Constantine's reign, he began using the Cross as the Symbol soldiers marched behind, Christian "Pacifism" disappeared.
Here are the names of the emperors and the lyrics Correct me if I am wrong with any of this Them Romes them Romes gonna stab around, Them Romes them Romes gonna stab around. Third Century Crisis gonna shake the ground, Let's count the emperor's down! Gordian (I): Well, the first guy commited suicide, (1) Gordian (II): When he found out his co-ruler son died. (2) Pupienus & Balbinus: Then they were succeeded by these guys, and they were in charge for three months! But then they got killed by Praetorians, (4) Gordian (III): And the next guy had a pretty good run, but he died in battle or by treason. (5) And that's just the first six years Philip (the Arab): The next emperor died fighting this dude, (6) Decius: Who battled with the Goths and got screwed. (7) Hostilian: Then his son took over which was shrewed, but then he died of plague. (8) Gallus: The next one got murdered by his own men, (9) Aemilianus: Two months later it happened again. (10) Valerian: And then came Emperor Valerian, captured by the Sassanids! Well, Valerian was forced to drink hot gold or skinned alive depending how the tale's told. (11) Gallienus: His son ruled for fifteen years then got trolled. It's conspiracy murder again! (12) Claudius (Gothicus): His successor died of plague after one year, (13) Quintillus: And who killed the next guy is unclear, (14) But things evened out because no fear, Aurelian: Here comes Aurelian!
Great video as always, keep up the good work guys P.S. you seem to have an awful infiltration of necrons in your studio, please consult your local inquisitor for the appropriate countermeasures
I love how for the first few minutes of the video I wasn’t paying attention at all and I was just looking at the Warhammer stuff in the background and snapped out of it then rewatched it
O if you have not heard Minecraft-Education hasest the Largest World unrestricted library , because some countries are restrictive. Yeah regular books has their own joy to them turning the page the smell of new and old paper , found that out when they did close down the government stations libraries when the covid-19 was really aggressive. ( but to me it's hear say since i haven't gotten into it just of yet since need a upgrade on the computer that i haven't )
It's entirely possible to create a Hallowe'en episode at any time and release it on Hallowe'en, whenever it may fall. Just sayin'. That said, I'm happy that this equinox has timing you're comfortable with. I expect it to be amazing--as is everything I've seen from you!
always nice to hear about all the unintended errors even though most of the time I don't tend to notice any of them but being able to admit mistakes is not just a good trait in a historian but in a person as well also I'm super hype for the meiji restoration since like you mentioned there are a ton of good stories there that most just don't know about
I read Volume I of Gibbon's "Decline and Fall" a while back and I remember the section about the crisis was pretty wild. I think it fell somewhere in the song but I remember there was a point where no one wanted to be Emperor because of how soon they always fell, and the Pretorians at one point sold the post to the highest bidder. Obviously you have to take it with a grain of salt considering it was written in 1776 but it's still worth a read if you like Roman Empire history.
The story of the molten gold, and the fact that the guy's name is "Valerian", sounds like direct inspiration for an early scene in Game of Thrones... :)
Isn't there a story about Crassus (member of the first triumvirate alongside Caesar and richest person in Rome at the time) being forced by the Parthians to drink gold?
Really enjoyed the 3rd Century Crisis, looking forward to Cleopatra and the Meiji Restoration. Have you ever considered doing a piece on William Marshall? He’s such an interesting story, and is involved with so many pivotal figures of his age.
I would LOVE a series on the Roman-Judeo wars, if the Jewish diaspora could be touched upon that would be a bonus. As someone who is half-Jewish, I find the history of my people fascinating, especially how Judaism and Jewish culture has been affected by the expulsion of Jews from Judea. My Jewish side are Ashkenazi and I think its really neat learning about different "types" of Jews (Sephardis, Mizrahi, Beta Yisrael, to name a few) and I find that not many Gentiles are aware of how diverse Jewish people can be.
To be fair about Tetricus, it looks like he wanted to surrender to Aurelian without a fight, but he knew his legions would murder him if he would so he staged a battle and lost on purpose.
When they come to the Satsuma rebellion they will have a choice whether or not to use the Sabaton song Shiroyama and when that time comes they better find a way
I think the first question was misunderstood. It was referring to the fact, that Roman polytheism has a lot of aspects of mysticism in itself and how it differentiated between the new upcoming religions in that regard...
Hey quick question whats this guys actual name? I ask because i mentioned "Im gonna use that in a black library book one day" maybe i misheard but I wanna know if ive read one of his books! Sorry if the info is readily available
Extra Credits Could we have a video about all the people on your team at some point? Id love yo learn about all the wonderful people who work on this show
Whenever the conflict between early Christians and Rome on the subject of pacifism comes up I can't help but have one of my "if I had a time machine" moments and imagine bringing a Roman of the time forward to see the crusades.
There's also: Turkey/Ottomans: Mahmud II Saudi Arabia: Ibn Saud Iran: Reza Shah Pahlavi and Amir Kabir Thailand: Mongkut Ethiopia: Haile Selassie and Menelik II Singapore: Lee Kuan Yew Afghanistan: Amanullah Khan and Zahir Shah
But in all seriousness, Vlad the Impaler is just one of many rulers trying to resist the Ottoman expansion into Europe. There was also Stephen the Great, John Hunyadi, and Durad Brankovic.
Sources: Use Perseus! All of the original primary sources are online, for free. Using tertiary sources is handy for getting ideas but isn't good practice to rely on.
another mistake you made was at the very end of episode 5, you said constantine converted to christianity on his death bed in 339 but he actually died in 337
You guys mentioned that you were making a Meiji Restoration series right? I think you guys should at the least mention a little bit about future like the Taisho period the separation between the samurai society versus the rest of Japan as a lot of propaganda has made a lot of people think that the Japanese people were naturally nationalistic and stuff along those lines and I think it would be beneficial to at least display that the events that made Japan be involved in WW2 was more to do a nationalist military then a innately nationalist people. Well that's just my opinion and also love the content and I really liked the series.
The level of Warhammer 40k in that room is astounding and impressive.
Must be a necron fan, huh?
You have warhammer 40k Imperium figures in your room.

Jewish-Roman Wars would be an awesome series! It is definitely not as well known in the general public as some of the other things Rome has done.
Diocletian’s tomb is like if Hagia Sofia was turned into a temple to Jupiter.
Or a mosque. Oh wait...
It was only mentioned in passing here, but the History of Rome podcast is kickass. It’s comprehensive and incredibly engaging.
Yeah what the heck was he talking about "doesn't cover the whole Third Century Crisis"? I'd argue it's FAR more detailed on the crisis than these videös.

That Necron symbol over there...That's heresy.
Purge the xenos, the mutant and the aliens. For the emperor!
It is better to die for the Emperor than to live for yourself...
It's very unlikely that anyone was ever forced to drink molten gold, that would be much to expensive and a waste of gold.
If you care enough for the WOW factor and not at all about the human suffering, you can cut up the corps and recover it. Won't lose a gram...
The Mongol would not kill princes by spilling their blood, so they would put a big plank over them and march their whole army on that plank, to crush the life from the victims.

Why would it be a waste, there is nothing stopping the killer(s) getting the gold back, with a bit of effort (and mess).
Wouldn't waste much since it can be smelted again

I was going to say this. Mike spent like 20 episodes on the crisis if I recall. He went into about as much depth as the format would allow
I think it’s cool how we’re going from the later years of the Roman Empire to the early years of the Roman Empire

Always be suspicious when someone claims to have drinken molten gold. Its a lot of effort to melt gold in a way thats easy to drink.
I read Volume I of Gibbon's "Decline and Fall" a while back and I remember the section about the crisis was pretty wild. I think it fell somewhere in the song but I remember there was a point where no one wanted to be Emperor because of how soon they always fell, and the Pretorians at one point sold the post to the highest bidder.

Meiji restoration eh? Well, that means...
"Its the nature of time, the old ways must give in."
