'I am the senate' Dicuss?
you are the building?
@@abdelrahmanwael2551 I was not the Curia Julia when last I looked, but knowing how meme worthy (and bad) the Star Wars prequels are I had to put something along those lines.
@@EasternRomanHistory yes yes I know, by chancellor palpatine. I was just debating it heh
At an end your reign is, and not short enough, it was.
Not yet!
You are a gem. Long have I told people that we needed a channel focused on answering Eastern Roman questions. Thank you for providing this much needed service.
Thank you very much, it is a pleasure.
I agree.
The Senate will decide your fate.
I am the Senate!
@@EasternRomanHistory not yet.
Unless you're Augustus
He's too dangerous to be left alive
Well done
It’s a fucking miracle that the Roman senate lasted that long
One things the Romans were very good at was making things last
@@EasternRomanHistory yeah....well...the Roman empire didn't last for eternity unfortunately lol
Have you ever read the book, “ The Byzantine Republic”?
I am afraid I have not but I know the gist of it. That the Roman people were a political force and could use it when it mattered. Despotism tempered by angery mob and rebellion as it were.
I always get this automatic confusion when learning about roman burocracy. So many rules, execptions and complexities.
Great video regardless. This series was long due.
No problem, Atlantis. Definitely, if you were to make a flow chart of all of the offices and departments, it would be about the distance from London to Newcastle.
Perhaps a slight exaggeration.
with all those rules and complexities it could even be described as 'Byzantine'
Another brilliant speech, Sir. ❤
the stronghold music on your videos slaps
Amazing as ever! Love these videos.
I didn't think it was possible to fit so much information into a video with zero filler. Very informative video!
Thank you, Why add filler when you can add facts.
Love this video and this channel. This channel was suggested because I'm interested in Roman history.
How did I miss THIS?! This is fantastic 👍
Remeber to click the bell so you get notified about my new videos. Glad you enjoyed it! I also have one about the history of the Byzantine senate.
Thank you for posting this 😀 very interesting and informative of the Eastern Roman empire
I am glad you liked it. It was really interesting to research.
Did the Senate survive basileus Leo VI the Wise reforms
It did but, the law of Theo II and Val III was recinded. In fact in the follow up video which is coming soon I will talk about the history of the Byzantine Senate from the fourth the fiftheenth century.
*Basilevs/Βασιλεύς*
Thank you for the video. Would you ever consider doing one on Aelia Eudokia?
Certainly, in time I hope to cover a good crop of the Roman Empresses, such as Euphrosyne and Theodora.
11:00 - does anyone else find it funny that out if all the main entourage, Narses is the only one they don't depict any lower than his middle chest?
If possible could you do a review of Eastern Roman weapons? Possibly the weapons used by the thematic armies?
I can, in fact I have a couple of videos on Late Roman Arms and Armour in the production line and the same on Late Byzantine arms and armour. Middle Byzantine equipment will follow.
Eastern Roman History thats awesome to see this level of work dedicated on your channel as the Eastern Romans are often underrated in modern history!thanks! ill check out those videos you mentioned! 😉
@@Kbuildsmodels_24 Huzzar!
Pupienus sounds like an emperor made by rick and morty :D
XD
Very informative, thank you! By the way, about the word "vir" in Vir Ilustres, I thought that it meant "man", does that really mean "very" in this context?
You are correct, Viri does not mean very, my fault that my Latin is not something I have mastered, but the point I wanted to get across was that even the upper classes of Roman society was heavily stratified. Hope that clears things up.
Stronghold music? Nice
Am I the only one that heard "Pupienus" as 'poopy anus'?
Just heard the same thing
Not related to the video but have you heard of Dovahhaty’s Unbiased History series? I’d love to know what you think of that gem.
I have. I would call it the Cleitarchus of history channels. I enjoyed it.
@@EasternRomanHistory This description fits eerily well. I like it
@@rush4in I want to read that history of Alexander by Cleitarchus, I am guessing it was a real jewel.
Eastern Roman History we all do
The picture shows the Senate of Rome !
Let me know if you see a picture of the Senate of Constantinople
Да Здравствует Византия!✊⚔️🛡️☦️📜📖🏛️⛲
humiliores: the lowest among dignities
Wasn't the Byzantine Senate's role abolished under Emperor Leo VI? How did it lasted until 1453?
Leo VI abolished the consulship and other hangovers but Leo VI did not abolish the senate.
Thank god people realize its east rome not Byzantium

I find the Eastern Roman Senate more interesting then the Roman Senate.
04:16 - Wait, what? You think that "vir illustris" means "very illustrious"? "Vir" means "man." An illustris and a vir illustris _are the same thing._ You think that the viri illustres were a separate class from illustres ("Vir I.P.s")? That's not just wrong, it's gibberish. Where on earth did you get such an idea?
In the History of the Later Roman Empire by J B Bury, p19, I read that within the classes of senotors, Illustres, Spectabiles and Clarissimi, there were further subvisions but not seperate classes in themselves. While, upon reflection I quite cavalierly translated the Latin, it does make the point that among the senatorial aristocracy there was a great stratification of status. I appear to have borrowed the viri from Viri Consulares to illustrate this point but, as you say, mistakenly so. Thanks for the comment.
im pretty sure the mosaic is of the ark of the covenant not noah`s ark
Apparently that is what it is labelled in the Adana Archaeological Museum, perhaps the best name for it is the Mopsuestia mosiac., until I know more.
@@EasternRomanHistory You have a hard time just acknowledging you're wrong.
The background music is a horrendous distraction just sayin
Many people stick on the early Roman history , where there was political termoil and the majority of European people were savages living under wooden roofs or so...That period the Roman empire is an infant and the east is more than that, the greeks are behaving much more like despots rather than enlightened rulers(no doubt they financed science, yet more out of prestige rather than actual interest.) The Romans are starting their mature career the day Vespasian visited the greek colony of Cyrene in Africa. , from this day there is a shift on how important we must feel being carrier and protectors of this legacy rather than expanding on savages, the prestige is here and not in the villages of Germany.So skipping the mature Roman empire and sticking to the Roman infant is like skipping a documentary about Quantum mechanics to watch one about Britney Spears 😒😒.
