I've always loved hearing about Roman firefighters and how they would just let your house burn to the ground if you didn't pay them twice the price of your mortgage
Some nations see phone numbers as numbers, some as collection of digits. English speaking world belongs to the latter group, but Romans would probably (yes, it it just my wild guess, but based on how Roman numbering notation works) see them as a former group - i.e. they'd see "911" as a number. Thus not "nine-one-one" but "nine hundred eleven". In which case corresponding roman numeral would read "CMXI", not "IXII" - as the latter wouldn't make much sense to them... methinks. Just a side nit picking, though... ;-)
Also, it would be "Voce", not "Voco". "Voce" is the stem of "Vocere" meaning "to call". Unless you plan to tell someone "to call", "Voce" would just be "call".
Yes it was quite advanced for the time, but when the empire fell, the fire of learning too. Europe wouldn't have such an advanced educaltional channel until 18th to 19th centuries
Im Italian, of course i confirm everything, in italian "Vigili del Fuoco" litteraly means "Fire Warden", pretty different from the english where it litteraly means "the one who fights against the fire" or something like that
At 3:17.....when that day Rome went up in flames Nero was vacationing at Anzio( beach town about 35 miles south of Rome).As soon he heard the news about the fire he went back to Rome concerned about Rome and his people. The rest it's all myth.
You once mentioned that Charlemagne's native language would have been similar to modern day Luxembourgish, which is probably a pretty good guess, considering Luxembourgish in fact being a part of the modern day Mosel _frankish_ tongue.
they are villains for manufacturing crises and heroes for solving the problems they caused. they get to be the main character 24/7 as a result of the ever changing genres of theatre from action heroes to slasher horror villains and thus enjoy plot armor forever. and its a fun job for the pyromaniac firebats from starcraft to boot.
So… Crassus would basically set fire to people’s places, in order to acquire competitive properties and then lease them back out? Like a protection racket
0:17 Italian War of Unification I think is what that painting depicts, not sure about all of them. *EDIT* I actually confused it with a painting depicting the Battle of Novara (1849) which was in the First War of Italian Independence, not sure what it is with the battle at 0:17 mark.

@George Wilson History channel I believe still has a large following i believe but so much of their content isn’t that great presentation of history in my opinion. Full of like Alien conspiracy building the pyramids, and then they have show about Yukon Ice truck drivers, which is more of dramatic reality show imo, but that might be Discovery Channel, still isn’t great though. Whenever you see comments similar to the first part of my comment, it just simply means that one man or woman content creators do better job with their documentary style or smaller history videos then corporation entities.
Do you think it would enhance the educational value of your videos if you checked the correct pronunciation of foreign words like /ˈmedit͡ʃʲ/? (Which you pronounced more or less like /me'di:ki/)

You might just be the first person I support on patreon.
By far the best historical content I've seen in TH-cam.
Next video: did the Romans have fire of learning?
Bulgarian empire mapping Yes this dude is an immortal deity of learning duh

The Greek Fire was kinda the fire of learning. For Arabs. They were supposed to learn not to attack Byzantium again.
What if Roman firefighters put out Fires of Learning?
Impossible

Hey, well we kinda uploaded on the same topic in the same week. An unexpected colab, but a welcome one I guess.
It was really cool learning about this stuff when I was in the acadeny. To see where we have our origins
No firefighter can put out the Fire of Learning 🔥😎📖
That Crassus' story always cracks me up
Is their a fire?
*why wouldn’t you want to know bucket boy*
Fire of Learning is my favorite fire.
St. Florian, the Patron Saint of Firefighters is also the Patron Saint of Brewers. He is usually depicted holding a pikepole and a beer stein.
Yep, they're called *_Crassus' slaves_*
hi! where do u get these pictures from? like the one at 2:40
I think this might be the first TH-cam video I've seen where the headline was a question and the answer was yes. (EDIT: Title was changed)
Even Nero’s fire can’t burn as bright as fire of learning :).
Somehow missed this one. Since you mentioned it I had to come back and give it a go.
You had me at the viscous chicken of bristol

0:35 is that the cover art for the book *The Collapse of Complex Societies* ?
@ÆMEROX I’d imagine it must’ve been used but it’s painting depicting the Great fire of Rome under Emperor Nero’s reign.
history and a star trek reference? heaven!!

Q: How did the Ancient Romans deal with fires?
A: By blaming Christians.
That is dark
Maybe if those damn Christians weren't always on fire there'd be less fires in Rome /s
Boxing Cuts; burning Christians
@Boxing Cuts Nero liked to make human candles out of early Christians
Blame it on those Germanic Tribes burning and sacking everything
Great video! Love the Call IX-I-I! Tell me, in Australia we dial 0-0-0, how would the Romans write that?!

Of course Rome didn't have firefighters look at Nero
I think nero was the final straw

6:50 When we can’t see you taking that’s what I picture is giving narration.
Bucketboys is an awesome name XD
The fact you had to to pay to get saved it just wow in a bad way.
I remember some years ago, some firefighters in America refuse helping people unless they país them. Disgraceful.
why would you expect people to work for free? calm your communism.
Weren’t Roman firefighters basically police officers also?
Hi i'm new and i loved the vid when you spoke about names and their meaning but i rarely hear my name and what does my name mean
Good biz one guy starts fire n few put it out. Cant go wrong.
I didn't know Crassus was a trekkie.
So basically there are bucket brigades.
