Caligula wasn't killed by Senators; he was killed by his own Praetorian Guard, in a plot formed by both senior Senators and the leader of the Praetorian Guard.
The Roman Empire never existed.

@@simonruszczak5563 Come on really? You're going to recommend a book and not even explain how all the evidence could be wrong?
Anatoly Fomenko's book, "History: Fiction or Science? Chronology," presents a highly controversial and widely discredited theory known as "New Chronology." Fomenko argues that many historical events, including those of the Roman Empire, are either fabricated or misdated. His theories lack credible evidence and are not accepted by mainstream historians or scholars. The traditional historical understanding of the Roman Empire is supported by extensive archaeological, textual, and documentary evidence.

So true.
Nero, the last emperor of Julio-Claudiam dynasty.
The more I learn about Roman politics and intrigue, the more I see how things haven't changed much

6:03 gorgeous place
@@simonruszczak5563 Oh? Was that Russia's (Putin) too?
Now they let people think their vote counts as an individual.
And you are talking about which country?!?
I'm confused by the title. Wasn't Nero the last Emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty not the last emperor period. That would have been Romulus Augustulus, 300 years later.
Edit:They changed the title :)
Yeah I was thinking the same. They couldn't have made mistakes like that on purpose?
I was thinking that too.. But Nero could've been the last of the Western Empire. Cause there was some craziness after him that lead to the Byzantine which is also known as the Eastern Roman Empire....OR GREECE.
@@katiearbuckle9017 No the Western Roman empire wasn't formed until 395 A.D with Honorious being the first offical western roman emperor. This was long after Neros death in 68AD and there were many emperor's inbetween. also the Eastern Roman Empire didn't just consist of solely Greece, in addition to this it had substantial terrority futher east, where modern day Turkey is.
Gfy
More BBC-BSPS trying to rewrite history..

Wish a huge Hollywood production would make a movie on Nero. Sounds like it would be good. Even sad at the end.
Yes like a gladiator type movie. Like russel Crowe. That would be cool
Check out the film quo vadis
They did one with Micheal sheen playing nero. I can't remember the name of it but it is epic
Please YES RIDLEY SCOTT HEAR OUR PLEA
Im surprised they didnt mention the Apostle Paul's beheading or his appeal to Nero.
Just because someone got their head cut off doesn't mean they were right.
@@MultiCappie He didn't say he was right, just said he was surprised he wasn't mentioned. Doh!
@@MultiCappie A man doesn't profess something he doesn't believe knowing that he would be killed. He is and was right regardless of what you think. Paul spoke Truth, you speak your own sinful opinions.
@@koreshdabar-yhwh3588 Don't even get me started with Paul.
@@MrAtncc1701 what's your passion with Paul?!
i just played this while doing something else on the other screen but suddenly i hear Baldrick :D Hello Tony, long time no hear :)
Claudius "pushing 50" he was 64. He was born in Lyons in 10BC
These events are thousands of years old. What makes you think any of the records are accurate or that they have translated correctly.
@@jobnieloliva5358 very funny. A lot of ancient history is well recorded and historians have been poring over it for decades. So I mostly trust their findings until more evidence is discovered.
please, if people and computers mess up dates nowadays, of course some dates from the Roman era are Mot %100. accurate.
Ancient Rome didn't have violins. It was going to be about a thousand years before they were invented.

I do not know why people try to make nero a hero. He kicked his pregnant wife to death, He killed his own mother, he had his 1st wife assassinated, He let people up and used them as torches, and he castrated a young teen and married him . . . The guy was a freak.
The "artistic peace-loving" rulers were always the worst ones.
@@rickmortar7886 exactly! All emotion, but no logic
Because most of his atrocities are rumours.
And as about his mother… well, if he wouldn’t eliminate her she would eliminate him. Agrippina wasn’t an angel herself. She was no better than her son.
@@kseniaixbalam2826 castration of a male slave and marriage in public wasn't a rumor
as an architect, I love mentioning the age of Nero when talking about poor and unorganized city planning leading to large-scale conflagrations, which repeated in Londom 1666 and in Chicago.
Tell me about Chicago please. I'm from Gary
@@KnowledgeSeeker78491 he is talking about the Chicago fire. If you Google it you'll find all kinds of info, but he's talking specifically about poor city planning.
I use it to describe the poor political decisions that the left do today
@@tonyconnor5691 and just like history blame Nero, Left blame it on the Right xD
Weirdo
Are these docs reuplods from an older TV show? They remind me of something produced in the early 2000s
This paticular one is from the short documentary series "Tony Robinson's Romans" which aired on Channel 4 in 2003. There were four episodes I believe, the first two about Julius Caeser, the third about Caligula and this one was the final episode.
Yeah it’s a reupload I’ve seen this one 2-3 weeks ago
Ah makes sense now.
Didn’t know if this channel / show was produced for TH-cam specifically

God the music, why is the whole channel plagued with music that's 50% too loud, you can't hear the people talking!!!!
Someone should've told Galba that the emperors stopped with Nero. Would have saved him a trip from Hispania.
@ATTILA - Movement what "stopped with Severus Alexander"?!
You gonna talk about the part where he kicked his pregnant "lover" to death?
Sounds like an ancient Roman version of the Tudors!
I watched the vid on Caligula yesterday and when I heard (excuse my terrible spelling) Germanicus and Agropena, I immediately thought, “hmm didn’t I watch this already” and then they cleared up that they are related😂
Given all the fart jokes that the Romans told about Claudius, eating with him must have been an interesting experience.
Pls stop the music
Can't hear what is being said
Nero Was a Spaniard 🇪🇸
Julius ceaser was dictator for life . His great nephew giaus Octavian ceaser was first emperor of roman empire nero was last emperor of Julio Claudian dynasty
Ugh I love Tony Robinson!!!
Nice that Nero's propaganda and slander by ancient historians is being seen for what it really is, but current historians are still spouting nonsense about Caligula 2,000 years later.
@VerumRex well there was some propaganda, like how he played a lyre while Rome burned but in actuality he wasn't even in Rome at all, but yeah not all of the worst things Nero ever did was slander, and it's nice to see someone else who is aware of Suetonius' smear campaign against Caligula that everyone else has just eaten up over the centuries.
He didn't fiddle while Rome burned. Fiddles wasn't even in existence then.
I went to comments first to find out if the vid is based on new unbiased evidence or just the same reprinting of 2000 yr old bullshit. Thanks for letting me knowXDD
@@erynn9968 lol... No problem my friend. 👍
At 47:00, anybody else notice the extra fighting in a plaid shirt? 😛
Um actually there were almost like 200 emperors after Nero... he was actually only like the 5th or 6th emperor.. But close I guess
he was the last of the Julian-Claudian dynasty.
This show is essentially a comedy.
There’s your “Absolute History” for ya 😂
Yea WTF is up with that and he had nothing to do with Rome burning either he was a child and it was an accident he wasn’t even in charge when it happened and he actually rebuilt Rome after 😂 how crazy is that now where he got a lot of his money is questionable but still !?!? And it was way after that Rome was invaded and burned down smh !
There was no where near 200 emperors. Actually it was about 65
Oh Boldrig.. Where is black adder?
Only Tony Robinson would think that Nero was a great emperor. Nero was likely born in the wrong place, at the wrong time. He would have fit in today, as the lead in a rock band, always doing drugs etc wonderfully. Helping with the fire would have been a great thing to do, if we had known for certain that Nero hadn't started the fire in the first place. It's funny how, as soon as the fire dies out, Nero builds his Golden Palace right on top of the region where the fire had been.
Nero kicked his pregnant wife to death and then castrated a young boy and married him a couple years later. Did they put that in here? I stopped watching cause this doc sucked.
No, they don't mention it at all, sadly.
That's the most fucking important thing to mention about someone why the fuck would I not want to know that
Is there any proof of this happening or could it possibly be added later by propagandists?
Nevio just do a quick google search his name was Sporus
He said in the beginning he would try to examine the better side of the man
He was one of the first though...
Of course, it wasn’t poor Nero’s fault - all because of his pushy mother. Women wreck everything for the poor men in history. FFS.
She was far from innocent. Power hungry psychopath
nero more like neck beardo amirite guys?
Underrated comment 😆😆
*Seize that man!*
It is truly “you attract what you are”
Or was NERO just a victim of propaganda [?]
The Nero Files check it out it should give you an alternate perspective on the guy
Nero Was Turkish 🇹🇷
This guy really hates claudius, even though he comes off as a claudius type character himself xD
I never knew Claudius was a sadist?
Theres a reason Nero rhymes with zero
Julius Ceaser was not an Emperor
keep up the work ol Ton'
Nero: most evil known psychopath emperor .. disgusting
12:50 poison by mushroom and food poison what is the difference lool

There are those who would consider me Rome's *Waifu.*
Why is the thumbnail image the statue of Pope Saint Peter in front of his basilica?
Esteban Molina woah bro did you just insult me bro? What the heck bro
You can try to salvage his reputation but the fact is he persecuted Christians and burned them alive to light up his gardens. The Christian feared him so much that they thought Nero would rise from the dead and would kill them all. But good luck trying to make him look good.
I mean, was Nero the only one who did that?
This mockumentary was great! If anyone else likes this kind of stuff I highly recommend “The Starving Games”. Good laughs all around 👍🏾
I think there were actually a few more Roman emperors that came after him? Fairly sure.
More like 195 of them, but what would i know?
I think there's a documentary somewhere in between these ads.
"Central to that story is his mother, Agrippina, the ultimate pushy woman." -- WTF?!? It's 2020 and were still casting women -- especially strong and/or aggressive women -- into stereotyped roles? The narrator doesn't refer to Nero's father as "the ultimate psycho-male" but his mother is reduced to a stereotypical caricature.
That’s because she killed Nero’s father...
Also his step-father was Claudius who was a pretty good emperor.
She also was thought to have planned to kill Nero before Nero killed her.
I don’t know how you think any of this is sexism when this happened in history
She also killed Claudius and his son so Nero could become emperor.
The Circus Maximus was more like the Grand Prix of Monaco.
Nero never played the violin because it didn’t exist at the time. The legend says he played a Lyre while Rome burned. But this is far from proven.
My favorite.
Last Roman emperor was Francis the second who died in 1835 -his empire THE HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE was abolished in 1805 by Napoleon.Technically it was a continuation of the Roman Empire in the west at least by virtue of the Pope's coronation of Charlemagne in 800 A.D. and the later confirmation of German monarchs like Otto by the papacy.The later Holy Roman emperors were usually of the Habsburg dynasty until 1805 when Napoleon defeated Austria and abolished the Empire to replace it with other entities.
yup..i collect coins, ancient and world. right now i'm working on getting all the Habsburgs HRE's..i lack Matthias ll and Leopold ll.. plus i have many but not all of the Roman emperors..it's a work in progress..:D
@@gregmiller9710 Must be worth a lot of money
@@kaloarepo288 ....coin collecting is about the only hobby you can go bankrupt doing and still have money :P ^^
@@gregmiller9710 Getting back to the Holy Roman Empire -the word"dollar" comes from "thaler" which comes from the St Joachimsthaler -a valley rich in ore in Bohemia -then a state of that empire-first dollar coin minted in 1523-Bohemia was then a separate kingdom but later through marriage got incorporated into the Austrian Habsburg lands..I believe Roman coins are not that valuable because they are so plentiful.Would like to own some Lydian coins as that kingdom invented money in about 600BC -it was rich in alluvial gold.
@@kaloarepo288 yup.. on Roman coins, some are and some aren't ..i just got in a Austrian denier of Vladislav ll (D.1516) king of Bohemia, Hungary, etc..( i got his coin because his mother was Elizabeth of Habsburg)and his son had the 1st Thaler, of which i'd like to get one of..and yeah! those gold/silver electrum siglos...yummy!...i have a couple of silver ones of Darius(Persian) but no electrums lion.bull of lydia,,,way out of my league i'm afraid...:)
Wait what happen to his mistress child? Did they burned down of fire?
Could it be said that Nero was perhaps less of an Emperor, and more of the original Soy-boy?
Violins in neros Rome?? No no no!
we all know he was a dj with turn tables
Weird title. Maybe you meant “last Roman emperor with neck beard”
The Apostle Paul was also beheaded by Nero.
this documentary forgot the marvelous innovations on constructions that Nero conducted in north Africa which i am from !!
"Jack the lad" lol
ME: ...don't make a fate reference...don't make a fate reference...don't make a fate reference...don't make a fate reference
umu.
Goddamnit.
To the huge number of would be self identifying geniuses - not Genii, as I suspect the self identified types believe - Nero is the last of the Augustine line, not the final Emperor - if you include the Eastern Empire that person did not fall till 1453 at the hands of Mehmed the Second - spotting this error in the title is NOT a Eureka moment and does not put you in contention for consideration by the Nobel Committee. This is not being presented by the original production team and has no doubt passed through many inept hands prior to its arrival here, its is remarkable that it has any relation to its true subject matter at all
Well damn i was working on ways to spend that Nobel money..
The Roman Empire never existed.
Dr Anatoly Fomenko, "History: Fiction or Science?".
Isn't it strange that a strange modern-day historian want to make us believe his own account if what took place nearly 2000years ago? He tells us how his peers of old exaggerated and aggravated the personage of Nero as a monster but he will give us the right picture using commonsense and logic based on what those historians write, ehi? These so-called re-writers of history we have today are really pathetic!
There have been people worse than Nero before and after him, probably more cruel and horrible but that does not mean he was not considered evil in some people's eyes. But we should also not always think that he was the epitome of evil, far from that.
Most physical evidence shows clearly that he was well liked by commoners. Almost all of the demonization originally comes fron the writings of his political opponents.
Y’all doin way too much with bro talking in the fire 😭
Do snakes live in the wilderness of italy? How did they get the snake that was put in the room. Since snake are very poisonous.
Poppea was Othos ex old lady...
45:36
He was the last emperor of his family
Julius-Claudius family has all died when Nero died.
What a ridiculous presentation! Horrible language and filled with errors, wow, congratulations to the presenter and production team. Sad.
The god damned music noise.
How interesting that so much should be invested in revising the history of absolutist leaders, rather that liberal ones.
You cant rescue this evil man. He made his choice for evil and evil he was. His mother will face the fires of hell for her part in his warped character.
What a cunning documentary.
Changing the law,to suite ,people of power,in high places,it seam is not a new thing..for the 20th.century..
but the Greeks killed the Persians for the exact same reason the aristocracy hated nero. they to thought the Persian way of life was too effeminate
I always thought of Nero as an evil monster, but this video gave me a different impression of Nero. I still don't like the way he persecuted Christians though, as I am one myself.
He murdered the apostle Paul
So in other words, NERO WAS GAY? Roger that.
@@Endgame707 right... So he was gay. What I thought already 😅
I think Sir Robinson needs to go to AA
I think YOU need to get a life ^^
Imagine if you were born in Nero's time. 😅

AT LEAST ITS ABOUT NERO ...
come on tony VIOLIN really!!!!!! it was a stringed instrument however not a violin sack your script writer or failing that drink less
But Caligula was the third emperor of Rome After Tiberius plus this makes no sense cause Nero wasn't the last emperor Romulus Augustus was plus Rome had a lot of incompetent shitty useless Emperors
The last emperor of the Julio-Claudian dynasty.*
All in all a good documentary, but not perfect.
I have a question: why do modern historians or storytellers love to excuse and relativise ancient tyrannts? Would they do this with Hitler who loved art and was an artist? Who loved Greek and Roman culture? For sure as a human you will find always something to like in Nero and in Hitler, Stalin etc.
What really was his downfall and what can we learn as humans? Pride? The lust for sexual perversions, to be adored by the populous, people? The hunger for blood, getting stimulated by the suffering, torture, murder of people?
In the end Nero died, like everyone of us will one day, with nothing to take with him. Naked. So what is really important then?
Nero is the evil genius
Nero genius, not so much.
last roman emperor? read a history book.
Excuse me?? Nero was only emperor #5 out of almost 200 🤨
Um violins were not invented then. Re the intro.

5:18
He was very bad, just not as bad as people like to believe.
If you watched Hollywood movies in the 1950s and got your history there one might think the Roman Empire ended with the death of Nero!!...The great Roman Emperors all came after Nero! especially Trajan and Hadrian, goofy title.
FALSE! The title alone deserves a thumbs down.
Roman politics is American politics
Worst documentary of Romans ever!
I amn't going to subscribe this channel because they used lame Title. He wasn't the last emperor though
Much better prizes at that circus
Funny how taking the Word of God out its context goes back that far, "I will cast fire upon the earth.." Luke 12:49. Not literal fire Nero, not literal fire.
