- The Flavian Dynasty - History of the Roman Empire (69 - 96 AD)
Ruling over Rome between 69 until 96 AD, the Flavian dynasty irrevocably changed the course of Roman history.
After the turbulent past, including the year of the Four Emperors, the emperor Vespasian established the new dynasty in 69 AD. During this time, Rome's economy was revived by Vespasian's reforms, which also included the building of the Colosseum.
Titus, his capable son, took over as emperor after Vespasian, but his untimely death cut his reign short. Titus' younger brother, Diocletian took the reins and he was characterized by growing despotism along with many infrastructural achievements.
The Flavian dynasty maintained the Roman economy, wealth, and order despite the controversial reign of the last emperor, Domitian.
Their conquests in battle, magnificent buildings, and consolidation of imperial authority and reforms defined Flavian’s legacy and provided a model for the next Roman emperors…

I can't believe you didn't mention Domitian's graveyard themed dinner party, where he invited Rome's leading senators and other people of importance in the empire. At his dinner party it was reported that the guests were each gifted with a gravestone that bore their names, ate food served on dishes colored black and the room was lit with lamps that were hang in tombs and graveyards. Domitian himself spoke about topics of death and slaughter throughout the night. As you can imagine, the guests were scared out of their wits as they all thought Domitian intended on murdering them that night. To their relief, none of the guests were killed at this terrifying dinner. Just goes to show that while he may not have been as flamboyant as Nero or Caligula. Domitian had his own way of scaring the Roman elite into submission. Which may explain why corruption was at an all time low during his reign.
Domitian is hands down one of the most based ancient rulers. He solved inflation problems, fought corruption, banned c*stration, etc. In fact, when I read a novel in which a Vestal and her lover try to prevent Domitian from discovering their forbidden romance, my only reaction was: "Sorry, folks, but immorality has no place in the glorious reign of Imperator Caesar Domitianus Augustus" 😎
Agreed I love Domitian he helped start the next century of prosperity
Vespasian: Heavily contributes in the conquest of Britain, successfully leades the suppression of the first Jewish rebellion with his son, ends the period of the brief emperors and manages the Empire with wisdom and efficiency
Also Vespasian: Dies from pooping too much
Vespasian: "Oh dear. I believe I am becoming a god"
Many such cases! A lot of people died of poop related illnesses and died of not washing hands/tools.
Underrated dynasty
A dynasty being a guy and his two sons
@@nathanoliver9237 Wouldn't be the last time that happened in Roman history.
im named irl after it
Thank you for this video. If anyone's very much into the Flavians and the Early Roman Empire in general I firmly recommend Schwerpunkt's series, especially the video on Domitian's government. They make an excellent integration. Keep up with the great work!
He needs to reorganize his playlists, it’s a chore to dig thru as there are sooo many, as well as many that seem like overlaps
Nice video, can't wait to see the rest of this series.
There is so much to share with history. Hard to pick what to focus on. I think you guys are doing good. Go all the way to Constantine XI.
Then after that work on various nations that the Romans had interactions with, or absorb. Ex. Vandals.
I enjoy your videos very much.
I'm impressed by the fact that the latin names are spelled correctly. Kudos!:)
Shout out Ancient Sight
Some very detailed videos I watch all the time
Was this the era that Asterix & Obelisk were at their peak rebelliousness?
you make them sound like fancy salad dressings :D
For me domitian is one the most underrated emperor in the roman empire ..laid the foundation for the peak of rome…trajan was a general under domitian and the troops loved domitian..they insisted to trajan be named heir to nerva ..
*Fun fact:* Domitian appears in the movie "The Bible Collection: Apocalypse", in which Richard Harris portrays St. John.The most hilarious thing is that Domitian was played by Bruce Payne, the overacting bald man with blue lips from the movie Dungeons & Dragons. 😂😂😂
Sounds like something I need to watch immediately 😂
They are pronounced VES-PAY-SIAN and TY-TUS. not whatever you were saying. Good video though, especially giving Domitian his dues
Teet-Us had me laughing so hard.
You are aware Roman emperors didn't have English name pronunciation, right?
Yeah, but even actual ancient historians, top of their game, help make documentaries, even they use English pronunciation.
If you think this dynasty was short, the chinese Xin dynasty lasted only 14 years.
woah lol
It's actually spelt as "Qin Dynasty".
@@danielating1316 I know what I wrote, if you searched you would know too.
@@vitorpereira9515 you are referring to the usurpation of the Han Dynasty by Wang?
@@danielating1316 Yes.
the Titus that ""persecuted"" Jews, was also having an affair with the Jewish Princess Berenice, daughter of Herod, there was also a Jewish community in Rome at the time, the radicals in Judea just went nuts and most Jews in the first Roman-Jewish wars died because their own radicals killed them for lacking religious extremism
For those interested in the Dacian Wars, there's a pretty cool romanian movie about that conflict called "Dacii (1967)". The actor who played Domitian was too old for the age the emperor had at the time, anyway.
It is quite curious how important the Flavians are in Christian history, since Vespasian and Titus were mainly responsible for the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple, not to mention that Domitian is considered the antichr*st portrayed in the Book of Revelation. In fact, the last chapters of the book "the Kingdom of the Wicked" emphasize thisadpect, since in it Domitian, represented as an immature brat, carves the number 666 and murders Saint Matthias moments before the eruption of Vesuvius. Highly recommended.
What a cool moment to post this video. This year we are gonna have the three flavian emperors in "Those About to Die". Even though I do not ecpect the show to be a masterpiece, it's fascinating to have such emperors in a high-budget production, not to mention that Anthony Hopkins as Vespasian is PERFECTION
👍👍
The pronunciation of titus is killing me lol..tee-tos? Always thought it was tie/ty-tus..
you have to be using very old sources, most scholars nowadays think that why the people loved Domitian the Senate hated him, interfering with their Bribery and tax evasion and almost all negative accounts of him come from the richer upper class, this does not look properly researched
The dynasty didn't fail it just died out because the brothers had no sons that reached adulthood. Vespasian was a good stop gap to end the civil wars. Titus by all accounts was a good guy. And Domitian only gets shit on because he purposefully pissed off the senate, who were writing the history books. Domitian didn't lose territory and he was the only emperor to actually increase the value of the money instead of debasing it.
Not true Roman emperor Aurelian managed to reset the coin to better heights than Dominican!
Domitian became the first officially autocratic ruler. He had disregard for the senate and rightfully so. The same institution that caused the degradation of the republic and incompetence governing lead to many civil wars. For this alone the elite class of politicians hated the guy and tried to damn his legacy. Domitian was probably never meant to be emperor his father brought prosperity and stability and and continued with his famous general brother who sadly passed away way too young on the throne and it was now up to him to continue and he did what he could and a damn good job he did. He was a ruthless but efficient autocrat.
The way you say their names... is not how I was taught in history class.
That's how their names were pronounced
Vespasianus
Sounded like
Vaspasean
Titus sounded like
Tetus
Domitianus
Domiteon
I guess you can sound them out on your own from this. But their names were pronounced differently than what we today are taught
Were you really paranoid if it ends up that the cause of your death was a conspiracy???
Basically because the senate disliked Domitian
Started so abrupt
You have to work on pronunciation when it comes to these names.
Kendrick missed out on the opportunity to mention the drake leak video
My God, I am finding it very difficult to listen to Roman emperors' names being pronounced like they were French 😂
Le Vespaziane
C is pronounced as a hard C always in latin. As in "car" or "cock".
he probably put the Latin name through google translate to hear how they are pronounced, google translate reuses the italian model for Latin too
Both are okay. I favour their Latium prononciation that are clear and easliy understandable. However most people call a Latis person with Church prononciation or Italiano prononciation.
super rushed
tit-us xD
Christianity was part of Vespian’s propaganda campaign
how so? I'm sure he persecuted Christians.
Not happy with your Italian style of pronunciation of the names. This was Rome not modern Italy. Consonants were hard not soft.
Domitian 😮😢 was the sleepy 😴 joe of Ancient Rome 😮😢
the empire who stole tons of culture
