@@FlashPointHx thank you for another video. You do great work!
We all know there is something truly fitting about a history documentary narrated with a British accent just as there is something fitting about putting sugar in my tea in the most polite manner possible while driving through a roundabout to wait patiently at line in a government building
Justinian's statue being melted down to make a cannon means he finally made it to a battlefield.
Ouch - burn!
Sick burn bruh
😆
Couldn't happen to a nsty despot
Lmaooooo FATALITY
I've listened to this about 8 times already, and still going, I feel smarter and smarter every time I hear it 😀 I love the story telling
Glad you enjoy it!
I keep listening to it also. I always hear something I didn't catch the first time- this is so rich and chock full of interesting info.
*Fun fact:* Emperor Justinian appears in the 1968 german-italian film "The Last Roman" (which portrays the re-conquest of Rome by the Eastern Empire after the death of Theodoric), being played by the legendary Orson Wells. It's an extremely underrated film, to be honest
I love 60's films - no CGI - 1000's of extras. Ben Hur, Patton, Lawrence of Arabia. Masterpieces
Film has very little to do with the actual history though. For instance Narses is portrayed as a cowardly dwarf, Theodora commits suicide and Belisarius randomly dies during the first Siege of Rome.
Though I will say that Orson Welles was a pretty decent fit for Justinian, just wish it could have a little more basis in real history since it's one of the only films about Justinian's reign.
@@marvelfannumber1 Thank you for the heads-up when I finally get around to watching it!
If only someone could have taken away your sound effects toy before making this.
Good feed back
@@FlashPointHx I love a neighbor who can handle constructive criticism. Because the everything in the history as well as the narration is great. I was resting, eyes closed,. Just listing and sometimes we add a little "spice" or "flavor" to a production and we maybe put too much in.. becomes distracting. Keep going. ONWARD THROUGH THE FOG. -your fan Bobby V
Living in this ancient city I feel blessed everyday to pass by these living monuments to human achievements. It’s a lovely place to live or simply visit. Thank you for your video
You live in Istanbul? Amazing city! I've been there twice. Once in college and again a few years ago with my wife. She was also entranced with what an amazing place it is
I would love to visit. Greetings from the central US
Odessa its not in Bulgaria and Macedonia is not a separate country from Greece but a part o Greece.
A small note. There was only one church prior to 1054, which was the schism of the Roman Catholic Church from the Church (now known as the Orthodox Church). @40:46 calling Hilderic a Catholic is therefore inaccurate.
@CipiRipi00 great critique on my comment. I did notice later the distinction he was trying to make. But made my comment when I heard this in the video. There is a lot of misconceptions from western Christians of the church history.
Being in Istanbul now gave me surreal feeling, with hustle and bustle of everyday life I have taken this city for granted and it just dawned on me how ancient this city is and how rich of a history it has, I have probably been to many of the places those ancient people lived. I don't know, I am just rumbling because I feel like I can't put this feeling into adequate words, the best I could say is that it is like a time travel.
This makes total sense to me . Knowing the history of any place makes it come alive. Knowing that there were other people who did amazing things in that local makes it palpable. It can be mind-blowing
You ROCK!!!!!♾️
I live in the Cincinnati Valley, home of the Shawnee, 1 hour from SERPENT MOUND 🐍. All over the world we have access to ancient truths🔺️
Seems a proper response. Greetings from the US.
As a listener of the Robin’s podcast for years. It is amazing to see the art of video has such high quality and makes Robin’s storytelling even greater…….
Appreciate that !
I noticed you used the old transformers sound effect when showing the castles. That was the noise when the transformers transformed . Good documentary as well. Did you guys think nobody would pick up on that iconic American 🇺🇸 show from the 80,s
Loved that show
This channel is out of the ordinary. So enthralling! So cohesive and carefully put together! The maker of this channel is a master of many fields. Thank you.
Thank you so much 😀 Amazing comment Rafael
Check out the guy who actually narrates it, he has a podcast called 'The history of Byzantium'
There are several references to previous episodes. Where are they? I thought this collection would have truly started at Episode 1 as suggested.
Robin and I talked about where to start - it was actually his idea to start with Justinian. I left a link in the description if you want to download the earlier episodes (audio only)
What's with the annoying sound effects? Otherwise, a great video.
ahaha - wanted to try something different. Guess it didn't work out
Thank you for this precious gift.
Welcome 😊
The information and presentation is fantastic, my only suggestion is to tone down and edit your use of music. It becomes a competition for the ears and brain. The information is so good that it does not need a constant pulsing of mostly irrelevant music. Trust the quality of your work to hold the listener.
Will do - by the way - did you listen on the computer or with headphones?
@@FlashPointHx Laptop, phone and Roku on the big TV. I listen while I work so I use whichever platform is best at the moment. I can't believe you replied! Thanks and I keep on listening.
Theodoric ruled from Ravenna, not Rome. Chalcedon (/kælˈsiːdən/ or /ˈkælsɪdɒn/) - first letter "Chi" is pronounced as "K" in English, just like in Chi Rho ( /ˈkaɪ ˈroʊ/)
The part of the map that details the distribution of peoples north of the Danube is grossly inaccurate, the Proto-Bulgars would've still resided in what is known as "Old Great Bulgaria", whereas the Avars would arrive in Europe only two decades later at the behest of the Roman emperor Tiberius who had invited them as Rome's Foederati against the Slavs and the Kutrigurs. During the 6th and 7th centuries, the most numerous and the most dangerous enemies to the ERE at the Danube were the Slavs - the Sclavenes and the Antes.
Menander Protector:
"(...) About the fourth year of the reign of Caesar Tiberius Constantine, some hundred thousand Slavs broke into Thrace and pillaged that and many other regions. As Greece was being laid waste by the Slavs, with trouble liable to flare up anywhere, and as Tiberius had at his disposal by no means sufficient forces, he sent a delegation to the Khagan of the Avars. (...)"
Erdogun doesn't want ortadox christians filming in Haggia Sophia. ..so he keeps inviting Catholics permission to film there....and you can imagine how upset local Christians are concerning there place of worship
This is one great, great documentary telling us the history of the Byzantium error!!! Thank you! Amazing how history repeats!
Really happy that you liked it Adriana !
1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
“Secular” teaching does not mean “neutral” teaching and St. Justinian knew that. Too bad none of our current leaders are that wise
Nice background music and sound effects.
Thank you for the excellent narration!
Do you happen to know where a map with Justinian's fortifications in Europe can be found?
Thank you in advance!
what do you mean "previously on the history of Byzantium" This is the first part...
Amazing video, it was my first time learning about the Justinian Code and the basis for feudalism in Europe stemming from Justinian's rule, what a guy.
Leo vi, Justinian as Christ

Pompeii Roman
At around 25:33 theres a full screen of an amazingly, staggeringly beautiful, unbelievably detailed and realistic painting probably depicting Constantinople during Justinian's reign. My question to anyone who knows is...my God...who is the master painter. (You'll forgive my ignorance right?🥴🙄🧐💩🤔)
Am I crazy or is the narrator borrowing the delivery of "Little" Alex DeLarge?
How legendary your content may further get?! I get more and more surprised each time with the quality and extent!
Wow, thanks! Next Isabella vid is coming out in a few days - let me know what you think
I wonder if justinian's wife is 1 of these independent women were supposed to praise now the days Wake up
How haven't I found your channel before yesterday? Started with your 3 hrs video - now - working through everything else you've done. (History of Britania)
I work while listening and the clear, audio is great - I cannot stand channels that change their voice to whisper and give themselves more gravitas and lower, fake, tones.
Natural, clear, just enough emphasis to be used as such and great video to be able to glance at and understand the entire context.
Happy that you liked this ! I’m like you I listen to podcasts when I’m commuting or working out. Makes the time pass smoothly
@@FlashPointHx
For me it is the full 8 hour work day - which is why I like the long form videos.
Not only do I get a decent fill of information but time flies making the work day quick and more intellectually satisfying.
Without videos like yours, I would be forced to just listen to music. 😅
Love the combined episodes!. Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
I enjoy the incorporation of visuals and music with concise narration. This is one of the easiest historical documentaries to take in.
You are an AMAZING story teller. Thank you for all your work.
You are so welcome
51:00 Kavad "had fallen madly in love with one his wives"...
Wait, what?
I don’t have enough good words to describe how thankful I am for this documentary. The time, dedication, effort put into making this deserves the highest level gratitude. Thank you!!!
Wow, thank you! Yes this one did take a while to produce
Vigilantia? Omg! What a name.
Young Maria Harris David Perez Richard
By-zan-tyne. Please say it correctly. 🇬🇧
Justinian: "Now that Rome is ours again, nothing will stop us from restoring the Roman Empire to its full glory!" 😎
Plagues, Franks and Sassanid: *Awaken begins to play*
I always wondered what would have happened had the great plague never occurred - would he have been able to do it?
Procopious was the first Redditor
Greek uses diacritical marks, and at the beginning of ἅγιος is the hard breathing mark which is pronounced like an H in English. So the church's name should be pronounced with an H sound at the beginning, HA-GEE-AH, and the G is a hard G sound too as in game or go, not soft as in gem. I didn't study years of Ancient Greek for nothing.
Gotcha
Thanks! Keep up the great work! Love the long-form documentaries!
Hey really appreciate it!! Will definitely keep the content coming!
Justinian really was a godtier emperor. The concept of him "bankrupting" the empire has been discredited as anachronistic in the wake of the global event and black death, yet still the holdings held showing their rigger. His laws would he adopted by the Germans centuries later. Barbarosa uses his code as Roman law to show his legacy. A great man who changed the world and gave them a chance for the centuries ahead
I think if the plague had not happened he might have reunited the empire
Thank you so much for this excellent, illuminating video, for I have learned a lot from its precious contents! However, would you object to providing a link to the "previous episode," the existence of which was mentioned in the body of this production? Thanks in advance!
This is from an audio podcast - which we started about 15 episodes in with Justinian - if you want to download the rest of the 200+ audio episodes I left a Link in the description of the video to Robin's History of Byzantium website.

If the audio is still shit after the ad I’m be out
Dude been with you from the start Love your channel!!🤗
That is awesome to hear - love having a long term audience
Wow, History Flash, that is a massive work. I pressed the like button before watching, but I'm gonna have to do it in installments.
hahah - yeah - this is like watching the extended version of Lord of the Rings in one sitting - but enjoy!
@@FlashPointHx Oh,boy! Tried that, didn't come off as planned. LoL. I do like the era and subject, so I don't want to fall out then have to figure out where I was. Best to break it up through the day and rewatch the best parts again. Problem: The vids have a tendency to all be best parts. Cheers.
i love these storyes there the best !!!
It's crazy how much killing mankind has done because of religion or in the name of God
One of the leading causes of homicide in history - here's Mark Twain's take on Christianity: “. . . The fleets of the world could swim in spacious comfort in the innocent blood it has spilled.”
@@FlashPointHx compare how much killing is done by avowed atheists to killings in the name of Christianity and the atheists win going away.
Among the Best podcasts ever ! What à narration what an animation ... Good job 👏
Thank you so much 😀
Thank you for putting the commercial at the beginning so I could skip it.
hahaha
hard to argue with the quality and content...
the eastern romans were so fascinating...
Thanks - yeah the history of this empire is truly epic - started with greatness, had an amazing city, ended in a bang
This content is superb!!! But the adverts every 13 minutes is excessive and so annoying that I can’t watch or subscribe! What a shame!!
And there are thousands of mosques in islanbul. ..this was bad move and for responsibility s of Muslims to protect Christian places of worship and synogoges....
I wouldnt mind to have a plague named after me 😅 great video btw extremely educational!
Thanks! 😃
Wow. Absolutely fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderfully done work.
Many thanks!
Isaiah 66:1
Thus saith the Lord, The heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: where is the house that ye build unto me? and where is the place of my rest?
Acts 17:24
God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
1 Corinthians 6:19
What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
Justinian the great Dardanius 🦅🇦🇱🦅
When in doubt, build more!
"Previously...on the history of Byzantium."
I don't understand. If this is Vol 1-3, is there an episode 0? Wouldn't 1 be first?
The name is Roman Empire.
Lol, she'll take ANY questions EXCEPT the ones we need answered.
When I told her it was love... I meant the videos that make up my Byzantine nights. The Purple kind.
This is a groovy comment baby!
Emperor Justinian is the first Christian Emperor. Religion, for Emperor Justinian is not deformity being a man. It is a right of freedom of belief.
And we think modern day politicians are vicious? That’s nothing compared to that lot.
I have to interrupt the watching of this incredible series to post my appreciation for your work and very interesting narration. Your storytelling gift is really at the highest level and I thank you for everything you do here. May you have all the success you can get for this and other things you do, it is well merited.
Really appreciate this comment Marvin - really happy that you liked this so much !
Enjoying the maps with the names of the "characters" as well as just places.
It brings it to life no?
@@FlashPointHx it really helps to understand and ground the material. I wish these maps had been around when I was in school.
Good moring a todos
This a treasure.
As a law student I kinda get excited when I hear you talk about law.
Awesome work
You know, I like Justin’s gumption and hustle, even if he was illiterate 😝
Lose the background music.
excellent documentary, thank you !!
Thank you too!
Rome lives on in many many ways today and hopefully one day she can be reborn again and yes coming from a descendent of celts etc but how can we deny Rome greatness.
‘What have the Romans ever done for us ?’ - Monty Python
Sittas and Chilbudius sound like parody names.
One of those pictures had some letters that looked like an old elven from Lord of the Rings, really like the writing on the rings, I cant read it, there are few who can
In the common tongue it reads ‘one ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them’
chillbootius
This is excellent. Outstanding work!
Thank you very much!
There is no such thing as the Byzantine Empire! They called themselves Romans. (I have degrees in European history and information science)
Yup
you need to be more dioratic about terms .... the people that had lived back in the day on the eastern roman empire will not feel embarrass because we referring to them as Byzantines , the term is not about the people that had lived , but for the present day people to help them understand , byzantine term had coined from the historians for two reasons , the first was to separate east from the holy roman empire , end let the Germans to claim roman heritage , and the other was for to distinguish the two deferent realms of the empire that they had a numerus of a differences between them , in case that you not had learn , the west roman empire was towards Latin culture , and the east was towards Greek culture .... so modern people use the term byzantine to refer to the Greek realm , and just roman empire to refer to the Latin realm ....so grow up people and see the usage of the term and its function
Glorious
Thanks ! And Enjoy!
thank you! was waiting for your work 🤗
You're welcome 😊
John of the Epehesus had written about that perion most honestly
1:05:25 '...but in terms of influence and authority, Theodora will outstrip them all; no pun intended..." 😁
hahahaha
Byzantium 😂l
I've just found your channel, and it's amazing! You've reignited my love of history, and I've subscribed by way of thanks.
Awesome, thank you! Happy to have you here Zoya
A complete waste of bandwidth.
Time to enjoy this again!
Why not - its only 4 Hours ! =)
Agreed like just two movies XD
So as I was saying I can't see what I just wrote
Amazing content
Thanks!
Oh I see now this is different one I first wrote in
Was I the only one that heard Sit-assius and Chill-bootyius
as long as it isn't nautius Maximus
Love history love TH-cam
Thank you.
Well done examination of Process.
You are welcome
Too many plugs for ads.
This was absolutely phenomenal! Thank you for all of the hard work and research that went into this masterpiece of a documentary!
