I am greatly indebted to Cyril Mango's book Byzantium: The Empire of New Rome for much the information in this video. Do have a read as it is a great thematic history of the Eastern Roman Empire.
glad to have found you this channel
The Eastern Roman Empire’s calendar is still used by the Eastern Orthodox Church to this day. Our new year starts on September 1st and we consider it the year 7,532. If you go to any of our monasteries they still use the old clock schedule where the day starts at sundown instead of midnight.
The striking thing is just how seriously the calendar and its relation to Judgement day was. There were debates and civil unrest towards the 6th millennium AM and various scholars spilt much ink on trying to be as accurate as possible with their calculation of years. There was a similar amount of anxiety when the 7th millennium AM approached in the 15th century AD.
Interesting. The Jewish day also starts at sundown
@@histguy101 Christianity as in the Orthodox Catholic Church is a continuation of second temple Judaism since Christ fulfilled the law and gave us further direction on top it.
Eastern Orthodoxy Is The One Truth! thank you for this video.☦️💙
One for my evening walk😊
Cheers Malicant
Recently read The Life in Christ by Nicholas Kabasilas. We're told in school that before the Enlightenment everyone was ignorant and did not think using rationality and reason. But this 14th century monk makes Locke and many Enlightenment philosophers look like children. The analogies, message, and presentment of this monk's literature far outpaces anything written after WWI.
the king is back
Love history, poetry, and prophecy
Things to watch while playing Crusader Kings 3
My new favorite channel. Many thanks.
Many thanks to you.
Love your video!
If you want amazing information in depth about the real daily life of Byzantines, I recommend you to read the 6 books "Byzantinon bios kai politismos (Byzantine life and culture)" by Phaidōn I. Koukoules. Its in Greek though
This is awesome.
Wish you would do a legit full scale video on the origins of Mt athos. There's alot of videos on the topic on TH-cam but none are very good.
Well done! Coverage of such a vast subject of the different forms Christianity took in the Roman empire is no small task. Always look forward to your videos! Merry Christmas!🎄✝️🎁
The notion that the planets were the gods themselves (and their human forms were superstition) was not a Christian invention, but it's one of the theories explained by Cicero in his dialogue On the Nature of the Gods. An interesting book, historically if not theologically or philosophically: for example Cicero has another participant declare that gods likely don't exist at all, as if this was not a rare opinion at the time among the educated, and even though the man is employed by the republic as a priest.
When it comes to the interactions of the Roman civilians and the civilians of the other nations, what does it looked like? Do you have the sources that tell about the interactions of the Roman civilians with those from their neighbors such as Bulgaria and the Abbasid Caliphate? And I really mean the interactions between the civilians here, not the interactions between their diplomats and politicians.
"The people determined to be neither good or bad ... will live in the suburbs" - much like today

Byzantine what is army armor
I have done two videos that cover the armour of the Late Roman (AD284-641) and Late Byzantine (AD1204-1453), links to which are here:

I have not got around to doing the middle era but they often wore thigh high marching boots, tunics and trousers for clothes. These could be dyed in various colours such as blue, red and undyed. They often wore, red circular hats, which were an adaptation of the old Pannonian hat. Many soldiers, who did not have helmets wore thick, leather or cloth hats wrapped up in a turban. If they did wear a helmet they often used a pointed conical helmet with a mail or scale neck guard. Many soldiers wore mail, scale or lamellar armour and a thick over coat. Many soldiers often used a rounded kite shield.
Hope that helps.
Holy, the heaven tax system was quite heavy back then😅 Never knew demons could be neoliberals
Not sure it's the right niche but I would love to see some coop with Schwerpunkt! His Byzantine society playlist is massive, I'm sure you could be talking about such topics for hours
He is... a very secretive individual. Doesn't seem likely he will accept it
I’ve always wondered what’s up with that guy. He has so many videos but I think his long winded style is detrimental to his channels long term success. He has hundreds of videos on any given subject but each video could easily be edited down to half the length if he were to talk a little bit more concisely or organize his thoughts a little bit before hand.
I can always ask, thank you for the suggestion.
Why did you call this daily life when it is mostly about high concepts?
Hey dude Byzantine empire army armour clothes what look like
It really depends on how wealthy the individual soldier was. A poor soldier most likely just wore cloth and a basic helmet. Wealthier soldiers often could afford chainmail on top of their cloth and Spangenhelm helmets. Officers often had plated scale armor and wore capes with red hats.
It depends the era, after 10th century they wore the same to italy and Germany
is that a dragon at 0:20 lol
It is, it is a referrence to a legend about Constantine V and the Dragon he slew while rebuilding the Aqueduct of Valens.
kkkkk caralho tinha dragão em Constantinopla kkkkk
ehm why you narrate it like it is some kind of mythical folklore story?
its not mythical its historical as you can understand from the material itself that you had to read to make this video, and the religious believes the people had ,where you took most of your time anyways.are not just some mythical story,or a thing of the past.but the core of Christian faith ,that we still have actually.
the way you narrate it its like the people then believed that,and now they dont that we have become something else.
I am explaining these things in an objective manner and specifically talking about the Byzantine interpretation and practice of Christianity, in this regard.
the problem i had is about how you narrate it not about you being objective or not.
i did not say what you said was a lie,but the way you said it sounded like a folkloric thing of the past that does not exist today.
(for example you said at one point the people of that time believed that the end of days will come the apocalypse where God will come to judge),emm we still believe that,its core of the christian faith.but im telling you so its not a thing of the past it does exists today ,both culturaly and civilazationaly. like it or not,the civilizational impact of the byzantine empire still reflects on the modern societies and not just in a religious manner witch is obvious but on many other things as well that are accountable.a tiny example it has to be the funny story with the fork.theofano a byzantine princes went to germany around 11 century and she pulled out a fork to eat the knights though it was a weapon haha. were eating with their hands well into the 13 14 centuries.its not just religion and even worse narrated in a folkloric way that was in the everyday way of life of byzantine empire. people were inventors ,they had job collaborations,byzantine empire did not have feudalism ,but a system of collaborations,you did not touched that subject unfortunately.@@EasternRomanHistory
