@@aiko9393 not like boys get that 10 times worse from girls, because they are taught not to fight back. It's not a valid reason to ditch one gender because of 3 people
@@Jacksiloution Dude, I did brawl with some boys in kindergarten and elementary school. They didn't fight back, they started the fight. A simple "hey, cut it out!" from the girls would result in more pushing, poking, hair pulling, and skirt lifting. No way I'd just leave if my girl friends were bullied. Would be nice if they don't tease or bully the girls in the first place. What did the girls do to 'deserve' that? Play with blocks, dolls, or swings; read books; walk past them; heck, even just sit around without a teacher watching us may result in bullying. Things were better from middle school up tho.
Why tell the story of Pollio and leave out the best part? Pollio was a cruel master and was going to have his slave killed for breaking a dish, but Augustus interceded, protected the slave, and had all of Pollio's dishes broken.
@@zizipi the title is accurately descriptive, the story describes the day in the life of 4 Roman sisters. I believe this comment inferred the best part Pollio's story was left out, but; that's also be more a point on how great Augustus1 was.
Ashley L, well, it depends on the city state in Greece. For instance, In Sparta, the Greek women did a whole lot more; as most of the males were out and about in the military (as was the SPARTA! way). They even allowed women to do some business dealings. Which would have been anathema in other areas.
macibiob, islam allow women to do business 1400 years ago, and made them inherit from their father and mother and own propriety or business.. while pre islamic pagan arabs t did not allow it, ..while In America until the 1960s women can not open bank account without their husband approval, do your research. one thing is local customs of some rural villages another is the religion of Islam.

Roman Slave:My Master, one of your slaves has offended you, but I beg that you punish me in their stead. Roman Master: why should I punish you and not the one who has offended me. Roman Slave: Because I am willing to take the pain of others so I do not need to see them suffer. I am a Slave and that is what I am meant for, but I am a Roman slave therefore I am Roman making me courageous and just, so I will take this burden as a true Roman. Roman Master: Then I shall punish you, but not harshly. For not many True Romans would do a thing. In this I admire you in courage but despise you in stupidity.

Yeah, it's supposed to cover the lives of "noble" women, we know that the slaves and all went through a lot of shit, we've seen it in every movie out there, no need to teach us about it, it's cool

Hercules is a very poplar name nowadays. Remember a few years ago how every other boy was named Jason, and the girls were all named Brittany? (couldn't help but think of that line from Hercules when he said all the daughters were named Domitia)
+Varoonmg Haha I know, but that's actually a quote from the movie when Hades finds out that his minions let Hercules live as a baby. "Are you sure it's the same Hercules? There's alot of Hercules.. Remember when everyone was naming their kids Jason of Brittany?"
as far as I know, they did it mainly to due to the fact that many new born children died In their first or second month. Since you knew most of your children wouldn' survive, itwouldn' make much sense to gives all of them unique names.
Siblings in Roman times were often named after numerals in order of their birth. So I guess that these sisters actually were called Prima ("first one"), Seconda ("second one"), Tertia ("third one") and Quarta ("fourth one"). And it was also possible to call an older sister Major ("big one") and a younger sister Minor ("little one").
Like the one about the teenage boy in one video and if he'll survive the reign of terror of a new emperor or this one where what will happen with the betrothal if it'll go well
The purpose of the video is to present what the life of a "regular" person in this time period would have looked like. The story is not really important..it's more like a layout to explain little everyday stuff that would have happened around the time.
+MonarchTherapsids Inostran Most of the recorded history we have was written by the wealthy, literate population, and thus thats what we have for information.
Abir Hasan Dipu Show me these studies then. You really do seem pretty stupid if you don't even understand this video Also doesn't the fact that you're accusing me of being mentally handicapped for accusing you of being mentally handicapped mean that you're also mentally handicapped because you just accused me of being mentally handicapped?
I funny how so many people comment about how young they are but in Rome at the time the average life span was 35 years. So if you think about it 15 is about her half her life.
You are incorrect. 35 is the average, due to high infant and child mortality. If you lived past 10 you could easily live into your 50s and beyond. 15 is only young by today's standards, standards that have only come about in the past half a century.
Those numbers are misleading. People from the upper classes on any age could be confident of living into old age, outside of women dying in childbirth or men dying in war. The averages encompass people whose lives were hell on earth. That brings the numbers way down.

Much thanks to Mr. Laurence and the TEDeD animators for this and the boys' video. I'm using it to teach my Korean students about Roman history, and the simple style, the focus on youth, and the closed captions is absolutely perfect for my needs.

+Cat Goddess☄ WHaaaaat!! You have latin as a language in high school? No fair! We only have French, German and Spanish!!!! Maybe because I'm in 7th grade.
Unfortunately this video is a little generalising in terms of information. The title should probably have been "four YOUNG sisters" as it fails to recognise some of the liberties of women during ancient rome. Though I'm not entirely sure if they spanned through to the the installation of emperors, Roman women were allowed to work and own their own businesses as well as become matrons (female patrons). Compared to other ancient cultures, such as the athenians, Romans were actually quite progressive in their own ways. Though it is true that women were not allowed to hold political power in the senate.
lol, ok dude. Sure, we've definitely made progress but to claim sexism is over is just naive IMO. We inherited this shit in our cultural DNA from Rome. We're still slowly getting over it.
Thank you so much for this series! Everyday life of other eras has always been my favorite subject of history, and I always thought that there was so little educative material on that.
Unfortunately, this video is replete with modern stereotypes. 1. Women's names could vary somewhat: Domitia, Domitilla, Domitiana. Additionally, upon marriage they could add the genitive of their husband's cognomen e.g. "Domitia Phileti." That's basically what we do today. 2. Not EVERYTHING that we have written by the Romans was written by men (Footnote 2). 3. Nude co-sex bathing is now thought to have occurred through most of the history of Rome. (Footnote 3) 4. Women could indeed go into the Forum....How else would they shop at the markets there?...A huge piece of the Pompeiian Forum was donated by a business-WOman. 5. Women did indeed exercise a role in public--even political--life, even though it was thru the men she could influence via campaign advertisements, dinners, etc. Why only thru men? Because they were the top-members of the social units. In a non-electronic society, social units (families/estates) have representation--thru their top member--not direct voting. Also voting this early was an expression of military (exclusively male) & land-owning (mostly male) clout. 6. Women weren't voiceless over these mores: History records certain patrician women slapping other women for getting out of line (e.g. Footnote 6). 7. I've been in the top of the Colosseum. You're close to the fighting. Its back row is twice as close as the Ohio State Football stadium's. Now for what's not said, but implied: 8. YOU JUST DON'T SEE ANCIENT WOMEN ANYWHERE AGITATING FOR POLITICAL RIGHTS!!!...To imply that they should've (based on our modern context) is to totally put made-up words into their mouths. Indeed, voting In Rome was so rare & often so insignificant in the things voted for, that most males didn't have the right, and even when they did they rarely travelled to Rome to exercise it.

I love these "A day in a life" series! I also imagine that they are all the same soul. Living a life in one episode, then re-incarnating in the next video. Well, except this one (coz both were during the ancient rome)
For the record, these are the Domitii en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domitia_(gens) A very prominent Roman noble family of plebeian origin. They mostly had red hair, and often wore beards. Many of their family members were nicknamed "redbeard" (ahenobarbus, literally "bronze beard") en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ahenobarbus
Our history is vast and amazing... I can't imagine how the weather and daily life I would be used to would be like in that time. Getting used to seeing these outfits, hearing the old language... living the society's ideologies...
Okay... I was more talking about the fact that women were basically shut away from sight for the whole day and that they were married off at such young ages? If you want me to start a fight over your irrelevant and underhanded insults then you're not getting one?? Have fun trolling.
6:01 really gladiator fights in real life would not have any blood or guts getting spilled and would literally be stopped before somebody got scratched because fighters were relatively expensive
geeze can you imagine a 4th or 5th grader walking around in all those jewels? or a 6th or 7th grader getting married? wth that is messed up. especially the part where the 17 yr old was to marry a SEVEN yr old. Rome guys. Rome.
+Sami R. The age of adulthood concept that you think of is pretty new(started in the 1800s) and not uniformly applied(even in the US age of consent varies from state to state). Being an adult used to mean having started puberty and who a girl married was decided by the father for political and financial reasons years in advance but wouldn't happen until she became an adult(got her first visit from aunt flow).
IT WAS A VERY VERY RARE GLASS NOT JUST A COMMON HOUSE HOLD ITEM! During this time glass was just being made and only the richest could afford the glass glasses. So yes dropping a glass glass was punishable by death.
Very educational and fun animation. Social Studies and History teachers should definitely show this in Elementary and/or Middle School classrooms. I am sure not all daughters would have had the same name (as that would have been very confusing). Younger Domitia's sisters could/would have names such as Marcella, Cornelia and/or even Helena. Ancient Rome no doubt had to be one of the worst societies and times to have been a woman then there has ever been in human history. It is animations like this that are good for introducing and getting children into history. I look forward to watching the rest of Ted's videos.

Why does it say "Mother Domitia IV" when in the beginning it said Domitia IV died along with her mom in labor? And where did the pregnant teenage Domitia come from?
@@jungeunkim3656 Yes, I understand that she will become a mother, but if she is the eldest daughter, why is she named Domitia IV when at 0:57 the narrator said that Domitia IV would have been the youngest daughter if she hadn’t died in childbirth wit her mom? The eldest daughter should have been named Domitia I, but that title goes to the daughter who is ten years old and therefore younger than her. Also, the eldest daughter is not mentioned in the lineup of Domitias at 0:48.
@@baconnatedchurro I wondered this myself. I don't have any Latin to source it, but, with Domitia Prima (the name I'll assign to the pregnant one) being in another household, it's likely that Domitia I just... moved up a step, lmao
Its an honor to hold the same name. They werent misogynist, they loved their women and knew how to keep them safe from themsleves. See the destructive attitudes and behaviours of most modern women. Your modern perspective is the real misogyny.

Dad: "LUCIUS DOMITUS AHENOBARBUS, did u break the vase??
Lucius: " It wasn't me, it was DOMITIA!"
Domitia: “What? I didn’t break it!”
Domitia II: “Neither did I!”
Domitia III: “Wasn’t me either!”
Holy crap that was depressing...

Surfer Rosa and girls it's very risky to have children when she herself is still developing
Naming all your children the same thing makes no sense, gender aside.
I suppose if you want them all to come down for dinner and get off Facebook, it makes sense.
you would only have to shout one name up the stairs and you also wouldn't have the risk of getting their names wrong.
as far as I know, they did it mainly to due to the fact that many new born children died In their first or second month. Since you knew most of your children wouldn' survive, itwouldn' make much sense to gives all of them unique names.
In Rome woman were given the feminine version of their father's name. If the father was Julius his daughters would be named Julia.
Siblings in Roman times were often named after numerals in order of their birth. So I guess that these sisters actually were called Prima ("first one"), Seconda ("second one"), Tertia ("third one") and Quarta ("fourth one"). And it was also possible to call an older sister Major ("big one") and a younger sister Minor ("little one").
I’ve been coming back to this video
Every few months I’ve seen it a ton of times but I never get bored of it
ive watched two of these videos already and the cliff hangers really piss me off
What cliff hangers?
Like the one about the teenage boy in one video and if he'll survive the reign of terror of a new emperor or this one where what will happen with the betrothal if it'll go well
Well that cliff hanger isn't really important to the four sisters. We know it's a slave, it doesn't matter which one
The purpose of the video is to present what the life of a "regular" person in this time period would have looked like. The story is not really important..it's more like a layout to explain little everyday stuff that would have happened around the time.

+Abir Hasan Dipu Propaganda?
I funny how so many people comment about how young they are but in Rome at the time the average life span was 35 years. So if you think about it 15 is about her half her life.
You are incorrect. 35 is the average, due to high infant and child mortality. If you lived past 10 you could easily live into your 50s and beyond. 15 is only young by today's standards, standards that have only come about in the past half a century.
Those numbers are misleading. People from the upper classes on any age could be confident of living into old age, outside of women dying in childbirth or men dying in war. The averages encompass people whose lives were hell on earth. That brings the numbers way down.

Jeez. Another day, another thing learned about ancient Rome, another realization about how deep and virulent Roman misogyny was.
Unfortunately this video is a little generalising in terms of information. The title should probably have been "four YOUNG sisters" as it fails to recognise some of the liberties of women during ancient rome. Though I'm not entirely sure if they spanned through to the the installation of emperors, Roman women were allowed to work and own their own businesses as well as become matrons (female patrons). Compared to other ancient cultures, such as the athenians, Romans were actually quite progressive in their own ways. Though it is true that women were not allowed to hold political power in the senate.
+nfinn42
Which is why we fixed it in today's society.
lol, ok dude. Sure, we've definitely made progress but to claim sexism is over is just naive IMO. We inherited this shit in our cultural DNA from Rome. We're still slowly getting over it.
nfinn42
Idk... I'm not experiencing it, so it can't be real.
+Scawsome Well, are you a dude?
Thank you so much for this series! Everyday life of other eras has always been my favorite subject of history, and I always thought that there was so little educative material on that.
The girls' names reminds me of the Simpsons. "There is Bart, Girl Bart, and the Baby."
It was the story of a rich family , what about poor people
Slaves and poor people could not/could not afford to write or to be written about.
Oh! what a new fact as if I don't know.

Polio's servant from what I was told in Latin class was pushed into the eel pond, but he was able to get out and crawl to the emperor to ask for help.
small detail, daughters in Rome were given ordinals not numerals. it would be Domitia first second third etc
Unfortunately, this video is replete with modern stereotypes. 1. Women's names could vary somewhat: Domitia, Domitilla, Domitiana. Additionally, upon marriage they could add the genitive of their husband's cognomen e.g. "Domitia Phileti." That's basically what we do today. 2. Not EVERYTHING that we have written by the Romans was written by men (Footnote 2). 3. Nude co-sex bathing is now thought to have occurred through most of the history of Rome. (Footnote 3) 4. Women could indeed go into the Forum....How else would they shop at the markets there?...A huge piece of the Pompeiian Forum was donated by a business-WOman. 5. Women did indeed exercise a role in public--even political--life, even though it was thru the men she could influence via campaign advertisements, dinners, etc. Why only thru men? Because they were the top-members of the social units. In a non-electronic society, social units (families/estates) have representation--thru their top member--not direct voting. Also voting this early was an expression of military (exclusively male) & land-owning (mostly male) clout. 6. Women weren't voiceless over these mores: History records certain patrician women slapping other women for getting out of line (e.g. Footnote 6). 7. I've been in the top of the Colosseum. You're close to the fighting. Its back row is twice as close as the Ohio State Football stadium's. Now for what's not said, but implied: 8. YOU JUST DON'T SEE ANCIENT WOMEN ANYWHERE AGITATING FOR POLITICAL RIGHTS!!!...To imply that they should've (based on our modern context) is to totally put made-up words into their mouths. Indeed, voting In Rome was so rare & often so insignificant in the things voted for, that most males didn't have the right, and even when they did they rarely travelled to Rome to exercise it.

David Rudmin Well said and well argued its always good to see political correctness put in its place.
Good response. This video made many generalizations.
+David Rudmin These are the rich women of rome. Even if it's not illegal, it would be considered unbecoming for them to do so
+RegentofSparta I agree with the first two points, but too much of anything (Including PC) is always bad.
everyone wants to know this: who broke the pot?
Probably Domitia.
no it wasn't Domitia it was Domitia

So did I! That's why I clicked on the video, I didn't get a riddle, but I just got smarter
I love these "A day in a life" series!
I also imagine that they are all the same soul. Living a life in one episode, then re-incarnating in the next video. Well, except this one (coz both were during the ancient rome)
For the record, these are the Domitii
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domitia_(gens)
A very prominent Roman noble family of plebeian origin. They mostly had red hair, and often wore beards. Many of their family members were nicknamed "redbeard" (ahenobarbus, literally "bronze beard")

+Sami R. The age of adulthood concept that you think of is pretty new(started in the 1800s) and not uniformly applied(even in the US age of consent varies from state to state).
Being an adult used to mean having started puberty and who a girl married was decided by the father for political and financial reasons years in advance but wouldn't happen until she became an adult(got her first visit from aunt flow).

+NobodyImportant A female's 1st period does NOT make her an "adult". Why do you think half the girls died in childbirth at that time?

Very educational and fun animation. Social Studies and History teachers should definitely show this in Elementary and/or Middle School classrooms. I am sure not all daughters would have had the same name (as that would have been very confusing). Younger Domitia's sisters could/would have names such as Marcella, Cornelia and/or even Helena. Ancient Rome no doubt had to be one of the worst societies and times to have been a woman then there has ever been in human history. It is animations like this that are good for introducing and getting children into history. I look forward to watching the rest of Ted's videos.
I love that this video views ancient Rome through the point of view of a young girl. Well done!

I love how this is a story and not just boring facts.
Why does it say "Mother Domitia IV" when in the beginning it said Domitia IV died along with her mom in labor? And where did the pregnant teenage Domitia come from?
It means she is going to become a mother. That’s why it says mother Domitia 5.
@@jungeunkim3656 Yes, I understand that she will become a mother, but if she is the eldest daughter, why is she named Domitia IV when at 0:57 the narrator said that Domitia IV would have been the youngest daughter if she hadn’t died in childbirth wit her mom? The eldest daughter should have been named Domitia I, but that title goes to the daughter who is ten years old and therefore younger than her. Also, the eldest daughter is not mentioned in the lineup of Domitias at 0:48.
@@baconnatedchurro I wondered this myself. I don't have any Latin to source it, but, with Domitia Prima (the name I'll assign to the pregnant one) being in another household, it's likely that Domitia I just... moved up a step, lmao
