If this one is popular, I hope to make more of these going over Byzantine Constantinople, the American colonies etc.
Plus, to those who saw the 1st upload. Yes, this is a reupload to fix that awful mistake at the beginning.
Which mistake? I forgot.
Jabzy, at 4:00, is it possible to create more of a distinction between 8 and 0? Such as by making the line between the circles not be a straight line or smth. I remember getting confused in the last video and still seeing it as more of an 8.
There's also a bloke wearing his toga in the baths scene.
Brilliant. Every bit as good as your early London version of this format. Another one on Constantinople would be great, as would be an episode on something further afield like visting the booming city of Melbourne during the Australian gold rushes of the 1850s.
Bruh Constantinople would be awesome
The 8-bit video game style was a really cool style, especially in the way trading worked like an in-game barter system. Great explanation as well!
Also that is what makes your survival history videos stills out.
Yes, it's an interesting and different approach, I like it. And now it made me dig out and set up my old Amiga 600 again. 😄

All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us? Appreciate the insight into Roman life. Could you do Ancient Greek life next? ;)
They also gave us most of our conception of magic, with books and spells and such.
@@westrim True.
That joke from the Life f Brian is pretty ironic considering that it's told in Judea. Many regions benefited from Roman technology, but Judea was one that received a ton of repression, which finally caused the Jewish diaspora
@@jmiquelmb yeah i sometimes think about this and how one denari is described as a whole day's wages in Judea (by writings in the new testament) which would've been nothing even by Roman standards. Why was Rome oppressing Judea? Were they being punished because their king had sided with Marc Antony?
@@babyramses5066 it was because of their religion and superstition, long story short romans had a pantheon of gods (in which the gods of conquered people were also included), the issue arose because jews had 1 god and rejected all the rest, which worried the romans as they thought that the beliefs the jews had could anger the gods, which in return would bring catastophic consequences to rome
Dude, never stop making these type of videos. I'm hooked. I've watched this same video and the Tudor one more than 3 times each because it makes me feel like as I'm there, in the moment. Brilliant content. 👏
I think when people say “Rome was multicultural” they really mean “Rome was multiethnic” and people - mostly Americans - just can’t separate the two. Rome would happily accept Romans from Ethiopia, North Africa, Iberia, Greece, Anatolia, even Gaul, it didn’t super care what your ethnicity was.
Rome REALLY cared if you were culturally Roman or not. It was kind of their whole thing to make people more Roman *or else.* They made Greece so Roman they continued to pretend they were Roman for a thousand years after Rome itself stopped being Roman.
It really doesn't matter if you think they were "really" Roman or not, THEY considered themselves Roman. Calling them Byzantine is only a fairly recent invention.
Just remember one thing when in Ancient Rome, don't EVER wear pants
btw on a side note, nice profile picture
It’s the same with the USA multi ethnic but not really multi cultural as everyone is American
@@luisandrade2254 I dunno about that one. What is American culture? Someone in New York and someone in Alabama might have some very different ideas. But this is the stuff that pointless into arguments are made of.
@@legateelizabeth it’s not pointless but very relevant to me American culture is what transcends state lines and leads Americans to identify with things like the constitution the American dream even smaller things like their bigness focus global aspirations and freedom loving individualism which Americans across the board share
This and the Elizabethan London video are amazing
Keep making them, I demand it
These videos are great, but unfortunately they aren't getting enough attention to make up for the tremendous extra effort to make them. I can't understand why the views are so low both here and in the previous video on tudor London, maybe they need catchier titles? I don't get it...
This is quite heartbreaking and I feel for Jazby.
@@j.al.p.2224 As of early May 2022, this has 149,000 views after being out for a month and the Tudor one has nearly 300,000 views. I mean, that’s pretty good to be honest. I suspect Ancient Rome probably gathers more interest globally than Tudor London, which while interesting probably gets more views among people from the UK and Ireland and probably the Anglosphere.
@@j.al.p.2224 These videos are incredibly long and even I who is interested in roman stuff had to watch it in 2 sessions. If they were half that or under 25 minutes im sure the views would be double.
Corrections:
25:53--Although the Manicheans were persecuted at that time (especially the burning of the Elect), they were not wiped out due to the Hearers simply being sent to force-labor in the mines; also, Manichean Augustine is evidence of the religion of light not being wiped out (yet) several years after Diocletian.
26:03--Although Constantine became a Christian a few years during his reign, he just legalized the religion instead; it was his successors that made it into an official religion of the empire.
Beer from Gaul still costs twice the price. Some things never change
i have said it before and i will say it again i really love the pixel art style/animation keep it up
@Leo The British-Eurasian Why change name? British Eurasian? Are you from Hong Kong? Bruce Lee is called Eurasian.
@Leo The British-Eurasian I've seen you lurking about in other history channel videos. You have great historical tastes.
yes, it does bring back the nostalgia of the nineties with this aesthetics.
This video is so well done and informative. I am so amazed how every single scene has its own pixel character, background and animation. You have done so well, I found this video in the night when I couldn't sleep, and I was scared to start it cause it looked so long. But I didn't regret it because I was pulled in from the first minute and sat through it all completely entertained! Well done! Thank you for your effort in creating this. I've truly enjoyed it and showed it to my husband the day after! He's amazed too. You deserve more likes! More views!
I loved this format on your video about living in medieval England! This is so good, thank you for doing another!
The conclusion is that Rome was a very extreme culture, with our own in the states only just now starting to reach it's levels of disparity. But for all of that, it came with A LOT of perks if you could ride it out. Let's just say it's a lot more appealing than Tudor London by a few miles, heh!
True-and to think that the Tudors had 1500 YEARS on the Romans! Unbelievable, when you think about it….
So when are you going to have that sweet animation and all the details put into a game that's a one-to-one size scale of the Roman empire? Watching these videos desperately makes me want to play a game that doesn't exist!
I'm glad it's not just me!
That's a fantastic idea! A sort of pixel art *ROMA* game would be so fun. It would also be, I think, simultaneously interesting and educational. SO many true stories and civilization-spanning lessons taught in story form. SOMEONE MAKE IT HAPPEN
Need to play this game...
@@sym9266 OK, so my idea for a game to make is not that outlandish. I was thinking more about a Pixelart Rpg in Romano Britain shortly after Rome retreated from the island, but centered in Rome would be fun too
Although not pixelated, a mod for Mount & Blade Warband called Aut Caesar Aut Nihil pretty much scratches all the itch. You can work your way from a beggar all the way to becoming an emperor. It's set during Nero's reign. Very Roman centric and story driven. Highly recommend it.
This is an excellent video! It’s too bad to see that it has too few views, but please keep up the superb work! I would love to see more videos like it, especially one about Constantinople during the reign of Justinian or the later golden ages.
Impressive quality from a relatively small channel, both in the education & presentation. You've got a new subscriber.
YES! I love This format so much! It os so Well researched and I hope to me many more. Thank you for taking the time to research and make These.
Yes

Informative, nuanced and amazing narration. Keep up the amazing work! 💗🤞✨
These videos kick ass, love the video game art style, love the learning, great work!
Yes, it inspired me to set up my old Commodore Amiga again and play some 35 year old TV games.
Wonderfully made, well done.
These are awesome I’d love to see more of them in different parts of history! Hope you keep it up!
These videos keep on getting better! Keep it up man!
I need more of these so bad. Amazing work man.
Roman content is what I love to see. Whether it’s western, eastern or in general
I really like this format. It helps me understand what life would have been like in the past.
This is one of the best "day in the life of a Roman" New to this channel and I'm hooked.
Absolutely love these videos, it really lets you imagine what life was like
Absolutely amazing, love these videos!
So grateful for these first hand accounts. If only you had similar for ancient (south) Asia.
Finding sources for prices and the like, in English, is remarkably difficult.
It would be intriguing to see what life was like during the Mauryan empire.
This is so good! Please do more like these.
I love this style of video, love the "you are there" feeling
Love the concept and would love to see more!
Great Job to u and ur crew..enjoyed all the info...Love the Longer videos ..MUCH LUV FROM N.AUGUSTA S.C
45 minutes and no useless filler? Its incredible that you managed to make it interesting the whole way through!
A really cool way of teaching
thanks for your efforts 👍
This is great!! Listened to the whole thing in 1 which is rare for me for even at 20 min video
Love this! Great content and very entertaining.
If I could visit Rome I would love to spend a week during Augustus,Trajan,Hadrian or Marcus Aurelius reign…During Augustus’s reign the colosseum wouldn’t have been built yet but the timing of the republic going to empire would be awesome to see. And for the other 3 they’re part of the “5 good emperors” where Rome was at its height of power (200ish years before this video is set) so the city would’ve been just amazing.
The Circus Maximus would have been around though during the Regal Era (753-509 BC) and was repaired by Augustus during the Imperial Era. Go watch a chariot race or beast hunt.
@@jeffburnham6611 watching a chariot race while drinking with Caligula sounds like a blast honestly lol
Bro. Thanks. Made my morning.
I really like these. The video game aesthetics actually help give a sense of scale.
i hope you make more of these videos they're a cool concept and so interesting! i'm sad there's only 2 hope to see more :D
absolutely excellent video
This was the best tour I've been on
Love these videos...keep them up
These videos are sooo good, well done
Thanks for the research and video.
Great work mate, props.
These videos are good man
Immersive way to play the game of living in rome. Feels very modern tbh, to be living in an empire past its peak and with a huge wealth disparity developing :D I wonder if some day supercomputers could simulate a rome in full detail like, make a minecraft rome with all the right buildings and put a few million simulated romans in it to run society simulations if they all had wealth and traded each day and whether they'd even know if they were really roman or not o.o
Ü9
What makes you think you're not just a "Roman" in such a supercomputer yourself?
This was so very well done
I would LOVE to play an RPG set in real Ancient Rome
Check out "Expeditions: Rome". Highly recommended.
This is so well made, very immersive (: more!
Awesome video. Deserves many more views.
Man these pixel videos are amazing!
If I was sent back in time to Rome with knowledge of the language and knowing what happens at what time I'd just tell Caesar what the senate plans to do to him get placed in his good graces and live a rich life until someone assassinate me
This was great!
Fascinating. I hope to see Rome in a year. And take a walk. Thanks.
I liked this video so much I took the time to like and comment.
Incredible content
Fantastic!
Please do more “in the life of” videos! They’re your best.
This was brilliant :)
Very interesting 💡
What's with the re-upload? Anyway keep up with the amazing survival guide series. Recommend reading "time traveler's guide to medieval England" follows a similar vain to what you do here.
At the beginning I said "the year is 1303 AD".... I thought I could live with that for about 10 mins... but then I was having panic attacks.
@@JabzyJoe XD I noticed that too. Thought it wasn't a big deal but kinda amusing. Fair enough.
Love this. Also enjoyed the Tudors one. Would be great if you could do different periods in the UK history. I would love to watch the Byznaitne and Ancient Greece (Athens? Sparta?). I am happy to watch 40 min video. The reason why its not more popular (99 k views us bit bad) may be the time of the vidoe which may affect the algorithm. I only just discoverd your channel. Thank you for this series. I will watch what you produce however long or short.
Love the 8-bit Roman music!
Glad someone noticed that!
I love this video! Please make more! I adore this bit style
This is awesome 👏
Love videos like this, thanks Jabzy ;3 ;3 ;3
You are unbelievable and your videos are epic
I wish you would have done more of these
It's strange how 1500 years ago you could walk around naked and nobody would care
The absolute chadhood of pre-abrahamitic societies
This is really cool!
Thanks!
Nice video, I have subscribed
Love your content man. Heres an idea, could you do this with Baghdad or Damascus during the Islamic golden Age?
The video never came up on my subscription feed, it's must be why it has so few views. Because these videos are awesome
These are my favorite videos
i love this and the tutador video do more of these please. greece carthage egypt. ive watched this about 10 times
That was awesome! So many things I didn't know. And you really painted a great picture to envision. My favorite fact was when Nero ran out of criminals to kill so he made the Senators fight haha. Or how the virgin's got a beating if the fire went out hahahahaha
Nice video
These kind of videos will make your channel famous!
These videos are super cool 😎 👌
I wish this video had more views this could have been a really good series
It'll get there. 30k in less than a month is very respectable.
Two weeks out and over 77,000 views. It’s doing fine.
Well made!
Youve done it again!
We need to get someone to actually make this into a game
This is awesome. I often wonder how was it back then?
A really cool way I think could help contextualize this is maybe in the outro compare the equivalent wages of the different people in the different videos, i'm curious about who statistically wouldve been better off between tudor london or imperial rome
You should make a game out of those videos =) (by the way, those animations are awesome!)
Definitely in my list of time and places I'd want to visit if I could
What an amazing animation, a work of historiographical art! I can only imagine the effort needed to make it, thank you very much.
3:25 The emperor Diocletian created the "Edict of maximum pricing" a document that survives to this day as it was created and distributed throughout the empire and placed at entrances to markets, towns, trading centres etc.You could charge any price you like but not more than the price on the list, not for any reason, and yes the death penalty was the punishment for breaking this law. It was one of the few edicts or programs that Diocletian failed at. Diocletian was obsessed with trying to control inflation. He issued more coins with higher percentages of silver to restore faith in the economy. But he did not know that he was contributing to the inflation by doing this. So like anything if you have too much of something it's value decreases, this is what was happening with Roman coins. The Romans only had a very basic understanding of how inflation worked. It is believed today by some historians that if Diocletian produced less coins, then those coins would be harder to obtain and therefore become more valuable and thus reduce the inflation price rise.
They also traded a lot with the Axum Empire and also The Far Side ports on the coast of Somalia.
The elephant got me...just fked me up out of nowhere. ..
I always thought Michael Flattley was original with the Riverdance but now I see the dance has been around since Ancient Rome.
Interesting, informative, nicely edited, great graphics and very well-narrated - although it might be an idea to work on correct pronunciation of Latin. The idea of a city tour is a great way to present this kind of information.
Would love to see one on Ancient Alexandria. Ancient Athens would also cool
Amazing
seems bliss to me
awesome
