He was killed by his officers but okay. A lowly clerk who had committed an act of corruption which Aurelian was know to be merciless in his scouring of forged documents in Aurelians name accusing his officers of treason and ordering their deaths. They killed him, learned the truth and in sorrow and rage tied the fucker up in the woods and let the animals devour him.

In the 3rd century crisis: Antioch (romes 3rd biggest city) and Athens (romes 5th) were sacked twice each, corinth, carthage, and syracuse were sacked, Rome was almost sacked twice by the alemanni, 30 emperors rose and fell, over half of the empire died from plague, two breakaway empires formed, hyperinflation made coins LITERALLY 100 TIMES LESS VALUABLE, and the persians invaded six times. It’s SO HARD to wrap your head around how many problems the romans faced at once, and even HARDER to wrap your head around how rome managed to survive for another 1200 FUCKING YEARS! Unbelievable…

Early Roman Republic history be like: Italians - "everybody gang up on the Trojan kid!" Romans - "what you fail to understand is that You are in here with ME!"
1. Italics. Not Italians. The concept of Italian was actually created by Romans much later. 2. Romans, as Latins, were also Italics. Furthermore, Etruscans and Southern Italy’s Hellens were not Italics themselves. 3. Etruscans are actually thought to have been Bronze age Anatolians. Possibly even Trojans. There is no actual evidence for Romans being Trojan (however since there is a lot of evidence that Etruscans may have been from eastern Anatolia and migrated around 1200 BC, a.k.a from the region to Troy not much after it’s distruction. And we know for certain many Roman elites, including Romulus were part Etruscans, that may aswell be the origin of Roman legends). So it would be more accurate to say: Some Italics, people who we actually have evidence (and most historians agree) were Trojans, and Hellens - “let’s gang up on the kid going to war and defeating everybody, whom used to be part of some of our leagues or federations before they made their own. Romans - “what you fail to understand is that I am going to be defeated several times, however since the Etruscans used to be dominant power due to their large population and food production, and I am in the perfect position to take over their declining federation, I am going to be taking their place as the dominant power now. This time using a slightly more centralized system”.

It makes me mad too that several times really efficient and successful emperors were killed by their own soldiers. Cutting down a man who was helping protect their families from invaders.

@@hegantank6495 The Illyrians are the ancestors of the current Albanians. The greatest scientific authorities of the world have pronounced themselves on the INDIGENOUS and Illyrian origin of the Albanians.

From the beginning of the Paleolithic the territory of Illyria (formerly, from the two banks of the Danube to Epirus) was occupied by men as proven by numerous discoveries of which the Karprina caves dating from approximately 160.000 years (currently in Croatia), the Gjatan cave (in Albania near Shkodër), etc. . Eugene Pittard (🇫🇷) affirmed in 1916: "I have already said elsewhere that Albania seems to me to contain the most important archaeological and anthropological documents for what concerns the origins of the MOST ANCIENT POPULATIONS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA; populations that, at the dawn of history, we see appear under the name of Illyrians! Sources : (The peoples of the Balkans, antropological sketches, Neuchâtel / Paris)
@@hegantank6495 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD. It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë). Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect). But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD. Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes. It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe. It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

I mean the thing is almost every empire and kingdom here was fighting different countries and opponents so its not like everyone was ONLY fighting rome while rome was fighting everyone .
He probably meant the western Roman Empire. Some people treat the byzantines as a splinter state. Edit: Before you reply to me: This is not what I think, it’s just what some people think. No need to pull out an insult for this one.
I don't understand why the author of the vid posted 753 BC as the beggining of the empire, since that was only the FOUNDATION date of the CITY of ROME as a small city state in central Italy...it was still FAR from being an EMPIRE, which it only turned into by 27 BC through Augustus' ascension. Even the Byzantines in 1453 AD had at least some territories in Greece, Crimea and Anatolia, filling the minimum requirements to being considered a small Empire. Now, some people may argue the Roman mid and late republic could already be considered an empire in all but name by the moment they unified Italy and conquered Carthage.... which is a fair point. As an analogy, Colonial France was an empire even after Napoleon lll was ousted and the Second Republic rose up. Whatever the starting point you pick, the Roman Empire would have lasted from 1480 to 1679 contiguous years. A whoping record for any empire existing from late antiquity to the Modern Age. To put that in perspective, only the Persians, Indians and Chinese beat that... and they had huge demographic, geographic, and resource advantages Rome lacked in the form of: 1- Their huge rivers (Euphrates, Yangtze, Ganges, etc) surrounding/surrounded by huge plains of land that allowed them to produce amounts of crops Rome could only dream with. The latter had to import grain from Egypt and North Africa to stay afloat, European Rivers simply could not irrigate enough crops. 2- Natural features that isolated them from massive invasions of sedentary barbarians who were near impossible to assimilate (Himalayas, Gobi and Afgnan deserts) in the case of India and China. Persia had the steppes and deserts, which only allowed the pass of horse nomads that, historically, were easy to culturally assimilate. The germans, slavs and arabs that invaded Rome were not interested in assimilating. 3-And most importantly, the aforementioned advantages allowed their majority, population cores were always homogenous Han, Indians or Persians. This haooened mainly because of the huge plains surrounding their main rivers, were thweir population cores developped. On the other hand, Roman Italians and Greeks could never hope to become majority in their empires. European geography was too rugged and fractured.

Honestly, I put this on to have as background while I read a book about Rome after I realized it was all instrumental, it was very effective as background compared to what I normally listen to
After the 3rd century crisis ends, I always imagine the Romans as a bloodied boxer standing over a knocked out heap of bodies with the bell finally ringing.
I just love how Romulus Augustulus was placed in the throne by Julius Nepos who ran away to Bosnia, reigned for less than a year, got overthrown by Odoacer, and had his life spared by him, and then retired somewhere else, at age 11.
He didn't stop there, I mean many border provinces and armies did became rogue, and chaos emerges as Valerian was captured by the Sassanids. But despite all the anarchy, Gallienus was still able to protect the central provinces bordering the Danube, he crushed many barbarian invasions (most importantly the ones in Italy), he suppressed a lot of usurpers and gets a way to defend the East by entrusting Odaenathus of Palmyra to govern the Eastern provinces. Things were evening out eventually, he was able to recapture Spain from the Gallic Empire and was at the verge of crushing another rebellion under Aureolus. If he just hadn't got assassinated, I bet he can be as great as an emperor as Aurelian, I mean, the East is safe, he could repel the invasions by the Goths just like any other barbarian invasion, once that is done, the only border of the empire is safe and he could focus on reunifying the Western empire, there's a good chance he'll succeed.
Augustus: I'll make you proud possibly but maybe not Dad! Trajan: Out of the way Daddy's boy Literally every Crisis of the 3rd Emperor or General: The body I've lost... Majorian: The comrades I've lost... The viewer: Won't stop hurting...
It's interesting how fast Rome consolidated Italy with the Third Samnite War then the Pyrrhic War and then immediately dove into the First Punic War. Regardless of how they probably framed their enemies as the aggressors they must have felt like they had some duty, mandate, whatever higher purpose to expand or else they surely couldn't have kept up the morale to support decade after decade of war.
Majorian is probably the last savior of the Western Roman Empire. That is why his death in the middle of his ambition in that manner is very regrettable. After his death, the Western Roman Empire was soon destroyed. If he had achieved his goal, the Western Roman Empire would have lasted a little longer. He was a great hero.

22:30 Marcus Aurelius last words: "Go to the rising sun; I am already setting." In his books of meditations: You’ve lived as a citizen in a great city. Five years or a hundred- what’s the difference? The laws make no distinction. And to be sent away from it, not by a tyrant or a dishonest judge, but by Nature, who first invited you in-why is that so terrible? Like the impresario ringing down the curtain on an actor: “But I’ve only gotten through three acts . . . !” Yes.

@@sm123c3 the mongol empire was, for a lack of a better term, funny. there is nothing really that great about it other than ¨haha stupid nomads make big country¨ and it only lasted for like 2 centuries before it broke apart. rome lasted for 14 centuries (24 if you count the east) and brought prosperity to all of the meditaranian whilest the mongols horded all the prosperity for themselves. and it shows because you only seem to know one khan.
Fantastic work. It makes me understand that under Trajan/Hadrian the Empire reached its ultimate geographic structure, which would last several more centuries. Also, I'm from a Spanish-speaking country, and I had little idea of how long the Roman Empire's influence had been in the peninsula.
Eastern Roman Empire survived another 1,000 years after the fall of the western empire. That is like 2,000 years of roman empire civilization right there. Ancient Egyptian civilization lasted a whopping more than 3,000 years!! USA has left the chatroom.
The truly interesting part when it comes to the fall of the Roman empire is that the Splinter states always manage to survive longer than the territory they separated from. Soissons survived the Fall of the Western Roman empire and only fell due to Franks onslaught, Nicea Trebizond and Epirus survived the Fall of the Eastern Roman empire, but Nicea which reunified the Empire fell first, Trebizond the one that kept considering itself an Empire until very late fell second and Epirus the weaker one that got rekt from all sides survived shattered the longest in a way
A lot of the time they had no choice, Parthia put pressure on them and installed pro-parthian rulers. No shame in forcible governance, the Romans would always return to take back their own.

@@Danilium They still saw them as filthy barbarians, and the Romans likewise
@Belmin Hodzic true words, and also rome had an economic defecit with china.
Early Roman Republic history be like:
Italians - "everybody gang up on the Trojan kid!"
Romans - "what you fail to understand is that You are in here with ME!"
1. Italics. Not Italians. The concept of Italian was actually created by Romans much later.
2. Romans, as Latins, were also Italics. Furthermore, Etruscans and Southern Italy’s Hellens were not Italics themselves.
3. Etruscans are actually thought to have been Bronze age Anatolians. Possibly even Trojans. There is no actual evidence for Romans being Trojan (however since there is a lot of evidence that Etruscans may have been from eastern Anatolia and migrated around 1200 BC, a.k.a from the region to Troy not much after it’s distruction. And we know for certain many Roman elites, including Romulus were part Etruscans, that may aswell be the origin of Roman legends).
So it would be more accurate to say:
Some Italics, people who we actually have evidence (and most historians agree) were Trojans, and Hellens - “let’s gang up on the kid going to war and defeating everybody, whom used to be part of some of our leagues or federations before they made their own.
Romans - “what you fail to understand is that I am going to be defeated several times, however since the Etruscans used to be dominant power due to their large population and food production, and I am in the perfect position to take over their declining federation, I am going to be taking their place as the dominant power now. This time using a slightly more centralized system”.

Eugene Pittard (🇫🇷) affirmed in 1916: "I have already said elsewhere that Albania seems to me to contain the most important archaeological and anthropological documents for what concerns the origins of the MOST ANCIENT POPULATIONS OF THE BALKAN PENINSULA; populations that, at the dawn of history, we see appear under the name of Illyrians!

@@hegantank6495 First of all I open a parenthesis about the name of Albania or Albanians quoted by Strabo (around 58-21/25) in the 1st century BC and Claudius Ptolemy (around 100 - 170 AD) in the 2nd century AD.
It derives from the name of an Illyrian tribe, the Albanoi, which was located around the city of Albanopolis (now Zgërdhesh located in the region of Krujë).
Moreover, even today, a region of Albania, from the north of Tirana (between the rivers Mat and Erzen), is called Albëni (gheg dialect) or Arbëri (tosk dialect).
But this name Albanoi with its various variants (Arbanites, Arvanites, Arvanitis, Arvanos, Arban, Arbani, Arbanon, Arnavuts, Arnauts, Arbëri, Arbër, Arbëni, Arbën, Albën, Albanois, or Albanians) really began to spread when the Albanian territories became a field of hostility and a buffer zone between Byzantines and the new Slavic invaders (Serbs, Croats etc.. ...) towards the beginning of the seventh century AD.
Several writers of the eleventh century, including Michel Attaliate and Jean Skyltzes, have recounted this kind of confrontation and widely spoken of these Albanian mountain tribes.
It is the Angevin chancelleries (Charles I of Anjou, brother of St Louis, proclaimed himself king of Albania in 1272) which, in the 13th century, conveyed the name of Albanian or Albanians, which spread rapidly, like wildfire, throughout Europe.
It should be noted that the Albanians never use this name (Albanian) to designate their own ethnic group: they call themselves Shqiptar, that is to say son or child of the eagle.

Imperator Rome.

The Roman Empire ended in 1453, but good video nonetheless. Very detailed.
EDIT: video title was edited to 'Ancient' a few months back
He probably meant the western Roman Empire. Some people treat the byzantines as a splinter state.
Edit: Before you reply to me: This is not what I think, it’s just what some people think. No need to pull out an insult for this one.
I don't understand why the author of the vid posted 753 BC as the beggining of the empire, since that was only the FOUNDATION date of the CITY of ROME as a small city state in central Italy...it was still FAR from being an EMPIRE, which it only turned into by 27 BC through Augustus' ascension.
Even the Byzantines in 1453 AD had at least some territories in Greece, Crimea and Anatolia, filling the minimum requirements to being considered a small Empire. Now, some people may argue the Roman mid and late republic could already be considered an empire in all but name by the moment they unified Italy and conquered Carthage.... which is a fair point. As an analogy, Colonial France was an empire even after Napoleon lll was ousted and the Second Republic rose up.
Whatever the starting point you pick, the Roman Empire would have lasted from 1480 to 1679 contiguous years. A whoping record for any empire existing from late antiquity to the Modern Age.
To put that in perspective, only the Persians, Indians and Chinese beat that... and they had huge demographic, geographic, and resource advantages Rome lacked in the form of:
1- Their huge rivers (Euphrates, Yangtze, Ganges, etc) surrounding/surrounded by huge plains of land that allowed them to produce amounts of crops Rome could only dream with. The latter had to import grain from Egypt and North Africa to stay afloat, European Rivers simply could not irrigate enough crops.
2- Natural features that isolated them from massive invasions of sedentary barbarians who were near impossible to assimilate (Himalayas, Gobi and Afgnan deserts) in the case of India and China. Persia had the steppes and deserts, which only allowed the pass of horse nomads that, historically, were easy to culturally assimilate. The germans, slavs and arabs that invaded Rome were not interested in assimilating.
3-And most importantly, the aforementioned advantages allowed their majority, population cores were always homogenous Han, Indians or Persians. This haooened mainly because of the huge plains surrounding their main rivers, were thweir population cores developped.
On the other hand, Roman Italians and Greeks could never hope to become majority in their empires. European geography was too rugged and fractured.
@@genericchannelname4110 Well, they are frankly wrong. It was the Roman Empire from 27 BC (Augustus Caesar) until 1453 AD (Constantine XI Palaeologus).
@@ΡωμαϊκόνΠύρ that’s heavily debatable, many would disagree. (Not me, I agree with you, I was just explaining why)

Gallienus was truly a good emperor and make a great job fighting the barbarian invasions and holding the empire in one of the worst moments of the crisis of the third century, is sad that the history did not recognize him like in the case of Aurelian.

Constantine was really someone. During his reign, the Roman Empire once again became that mighty empire that everyone feared. But as soon as he died, the sad reality came back in force.
Valentinian and Theodosius were also really good emperors. The empire didn't really start falling to pieces until that moron Honorius became emperor.
In Honorious' defense, the guy was 5 years old when Theodocian died, leaving him to be a puppet of many people, including Olympius, who ordered practically a genocide of families of around 12,000 Gothic soldiers loyal to Rome
@@bubastis6306 well theodosius basically commanded a force of mainly barbarians and mercenaries, makes you think that probably civil wars and persecuting pagans was not a good way to start things off for the empires last phase of existence.

This region was late Romanized. It was famous for its excellent soldiers, frustrated but courageous. In Illyria (in the geographical sense) was indeed the most powerful of the Roman armies, in charge of watching over the Danube (nearly 12 legions, that is to say 130 000 men) ..
Great video dude. Never seen a map video so detailed. Well done

If all the videos on TH-cam would disappear forever, and I could save one video, this would be it
Honestly, I put this on to have as background while I read a book about Rome after I realized it was all instrumental, it was very effective as background compared to what I normally listen to
After the 3rd century crisis ends, I always imagine the Romans as a bloodied boxer standing over a knocked out heap of bodies with the bell finally ringing.
I just love how Romulus Augustulus was placed in the throne by Julius Nepos who ran away to Bosnia, reigned for less than a year, got overthrown by Odoacer, and had his life spared by him, and then retired somewhere else, at age 11.
Damn, Gallienus was holding it together for the most part until the Gallic Empire broke off.
He didn't stop there, I mean many border provinces and armies did became rogue, and chaos emerges as Valerian was captured by the Sassanids. But despite all the anarchy, Gallienus was still able to protect the central provinces bordering the Danube, he crushed many barbarian invasions (most importantly the ones in Italy), he suppressed a lot of usurpers and gets a way to defend the East by entrusting Odaenathus of Palmyra to govern the Eastern provinces. Things were evening out eventually, he was able to recapture Spain from the Gallic Empire and was at the verge of crushing another rebellion under Aureolus. If he just hadn't got assassinated, I bet he can be as great as an emperor as Aurelian, I mean, the East is safe, he could repel the invasions by the Goths just like any other barbarian invasion, once that is done, the only border of the empire is safe and he could focus on reunifying the Western empire, there's a good chance he'll succeed.
Amazing job on this! I'm sharing this with every person I know.

It's interesting how fast Rome consolidated Italy with the Third Samnite War then the Pyrrhic War and then immediately dove into the First Punic War. Regardless of how they probably framed their enemies as the aggressors they must have felt like they had some duty, mandate, whatever higher purpose to expand or else they surely couldn't have kept up the morale to support decade after decade of war.
Majorian is probably the last savior of the Western Roman Empire. That is why his death in the middle of his ambition in that manner is very regrettable.
After his death, the Western Roman Empire was soon destroyed. If he had achieved his goal, the Western Roman Empire would have lasted a little longer.
He was a great hero.
Anthemius also tried. The Battle of Cape Bon was the true no turning back point. Basiliscus should have been executed.

@@amanjain4005 What i have written it is not my aspect!! It is an old Russian concept!! according to this concept Medieval russians considered themselves as continuation of the Great Chrisian Empire that of Eastern Roman Empire!!! ()WIKIPEDIA)
"Moscow, Third Rome" is a theological and a political concept which was formulated in the 15th-16th centuries in the Tsardom of Rus.
In this concept, three interrelated and interpenetrating fields of ideas can be found:
a) Theology: that is linked with justification of necessity and inevitability of the unity of the Eastern Orthodox Church
b) Social policy: derived out of the feeling of unity in East Slavic territories being historically tied through Christian Eastern Orthodox faith and Slavic culture;
c) State doctrine: according to which the Moscow Prince should act as a supreme ruler (Sovereign and legislator) of Christian Eastern Orthodox nations and become a defender of the Christian Eastern Orthodox Church. Herewith the Church should facilitate the Sovereign in execution of his function supposedly determined by God, the autocratic administration.[

22:30 Marcus Aurelius last words:
"Go to the rising sun; I am already setting."
In his books of meditations:
You’ve lived as a citizen in a great city. Five years or a hundred-
what’s the difference? The laws make no distinction.
And to be sent away from it, not by a tyrant or a dishonest judge, but by
Nature, who first invited you in-why is that so terrible?
Like the impresario ringing down the curtain on an actor:
“But I’ve only gotten through three acts . . . !”
Yes. This will be a drama in three acts, the length fixed by the power
that directed your creation, and now directs your dissolution. Neither was
yours to determine.
So make your exit with grace-the same grace shown to you.

The truly interesting part when it comes to the fall of the Roman empire is that the Splinter states always manage to survive longer than the territory they separated from.
Soissons survived the Fall of the Western Roman empire and only fell due to Franks onslaught, Nicea Trebizond and Epirus survived the Fall of the Eastern Roman empire, but Nicea which reunified the Empire fell first, Trebizond the one that kept considering itself an Empire until very late fell second and Epirus the weaker one that got rekt from all sides survived shattered the longest in a way
