Do you ever start to really enjoy watching a youtuber, only to eventually realize that for whatever reason you haven’t yet subscribed? Well I’m subscribed now.
The true origins are shrouded in mystery but Legend has it that Athens was a beautiful city named cercopia after it’s king but the gods wanted it to be named after them and be it’s paetron so the fought over it. Zeus then held a competition where the citizens would Choose the victor and Athena won
Can you look into the last name Lee, its various spellings (Li, Ly, Leigh, etc.), and how it is found in such different languages as English, Chinese, and Korean? I've left this comment before, but I thought I'd try this one more time.
Small correction: it’s not Alba, but Alba Longa; modern day Albano Laziale, it’s not in southern Italy but only a few miles far from Rome, in a hilly region known as the “Roman Castles”
I feel like this is a stronger return to form in why I subscribed initially. I get things like Canada or Chile having names that have their own story, but meatier stories like this are what really set this channel apart.
Romulus: "I saw more birds, the gods favor me!" Remus: "I saw my birds first, the gods favor me!" Mars: "...Probably should have worked out the details ahead of time..."
@@denisenova7494 "La lupa" it's also an outdated term for "femme fatale". There's a famous short story of Giovanni Verga (an Italian writer from the late 19 century) in which the main protagonist receives this moniker for being a nymphomaniac.
Interesting story, nicely presented. I think I should like the video **looking out of the window seeing a swarm of birds flying past** I better not risk divine intervention. Liked.
maybe you could cover the origin of The City Of World's Desire Constantinople's name (Istambul) The capitol of the 2nd Rome ,Bizantynizm (and maybe the capitol of the 3rd rome Moscow)
You mentioned Jerry Springer, it's actually Maury Povich whose show has become nothing but paternity tests. But please regard your confusion over the trash TV shows as a badge of honor.
I knew a different version of this myth: Remus didn't climbed Rome's wall, he trespassed the "pomerium". Basically when Romans (and etruscans before them) founded a city, they digged a line with a plow, this was part of a complex ritual to ensure protection from enemies and evil spirits. Trespassing the pomerium was a terrible crime and this was what Remus did. He basically trespassed a sacred plow line, the walls were added later, or at least that's how the story was told to me here in Italy

Great vid! Also, in some versions The death of Remus also used to symbolize, on a more pessimistic view, how Rome's corruption and treachery were always part of it's foundations.
Just me , let me know I was taught that the two brothers set on their own hills (as depicted) but never spoke to each other after, and when the one brother died, the other felt terrible, and buried him in a royal way and named the city after his dead brother. I don’t know if my teacher was teaching wrong or not, but that’s how I was taught.
if that myth disappeared in history Rome will be called the Latinipolis (city of latins), the Romans are now called Latins and the Roman Empire will become the Latin Empire
newslayer3351 more likely it would be urbs, one of the Latin names for a city but also used exchangeably to refer to Rome, similar to how ‘the city’ refers a part of London it refers to the whole of Rome
This myth is the only origin story of Rome we know. When someone is talking about the origins of Rome most of the time they use this myth because n -one really knows the real origins of Rome. It would sound more plausable if they removed Mars and Tibinus( or what ever the heck is name is ). So how Rome ACTUALLY got it's name is a mystery and we may never know the true Origin story of Rome, Capital of one of largest empires in history and City of Ancient Culture.
What do you guys think is the correct (non-mythological) etymology of Rome? I subscribe to the theory that "Rome" is, in fact, a back-formation from "Rumentia", an ancient name for the Tiber river, itself being a middle-voice participle (which existed in Proto-Indo-European, but disappeared early in Latin) of "ruo" (to flow, from Proto-Indo-European *h3rews).
Would love to see a video on where the major cities in the uk got there names e.g Manchester, Newcastle, Leicester, Edinborough etc, thanks, also love the videos keep it up!!!!
I'd like to see a video on where the name Rome actually came from. Romulus and Remus never existed, the story was made up many years after the city was founded. The mythological character was named after the city, not the other way around. I've heard that it comes from Rumon, the Etruscan name for the Tiber, but I'm not sure about that.
Two things: 1) "Lupa" in latin means she-wolf, but also prostitute. Probably it was a prostitute that found and raised Romulus and Remus. 2) The mith tells that Romulus said "no one will ever enter the City with weapons" and his brother challenged him trespassing the perimeter (no wall yet at the time) with a knife, and his brother killed him. Anyway thank you for your awesome videos, just one suggestion: speak slower, sometimes it's difficult to understand what you're saying.
Feral children - usually, they have such troubles they can't talk, ever, if kept too long by beasts. Do you think Romulus and Remus: * escaped some, by the fact of being TWO humans? * caught some, as examplified by how Remus died?
Etymologically I think the best explanation for the name ROMA is that it comes from a word for river or stream because of Rome's location on the Tiber river.It is related to the Greek word rheo which means TO FLOW and is present in such words as rheumatism,diarrhoea,rheostat and many other words.The English word STREAM is related as is the German STROM.Also the rivers Rhine,Rhone and Strymon also incorporate the same word.Rome at one stage may have been called Stroma which is even more close to the English word STREAM.
Actually, science was used to explain a lot of things. For example, concrete and shocking amber. Anyway, religion was not used to explain things. Religion was a search for a supernatural higher power. The things they explained with it was not to say that those things happened because the gods made them happen (except in some cases), but to show that the gods had the power to do those things.
I've heard a few different versions of the legend, but my favorite was that after the argument over which hill the brothers went to building separately and Remus's was far better than Romulus, and out of jealousy Romulus killed Remus. It was in the vein that I named my son Remus, also because he was concieved in Rome.
You should do a team up with Mythology and Fiction explained. Back in the old stories, character names had meanings that can shed light back on to the stories themselves.
@RexPETA1789 I'm not really sure what you're trying to get at. Languages evolve, languages change, that is the nature of language. Even if it means that some words become crude. I can apply your logic to any other word in any other language. So how exactly are you resentful about something so irrational?

I started watching your videos pretty recently, and i have to say i really like them.
your art style is cute
Can you explain how the Aeneid relates to this.
Funny how Mars can do everything but not free the mother of the two boys...
in the roman mythologies the gods could affect the forces of nature but not the heart of man
Do you ever start to really enjoy watching a youtuber, only to eventually realize that for whatever reason you haven’t yet subscribed?
Well I’m subscribed now.
Psychic Hedgehog Welcome to the club!
Me.You reminded me.
Could you now Name Explain Athens? It has a nice story as well.
The true origins are shrouded in mystery but Legend has it that Athens was a beautiful city named cercopia after it’s king but the gods wanted it to be named after them and be it’s paetron so the fought over it. Zeus then held a competition where the citizens would Choose the victor and Athena won
@@ntsikabungane8959 Yes I know it was Athena vs Poseidon. I just thought he could do it well.
Can you look into the last name Lee, its various spellings (Li, Ly, Leigh, etc.), and how it is found in such different languages as English, Chinese, and Korean?
I've left this comment before, but I thought I'd try this one more time.
Depending on the pronounciation it can also mean "strengh" in Chinese.
@@denisenova7494 Well, in that logic, then you can say Li means pear (梨）, leaving （离）, Truth/Reason （理）etc. in chinese.
The first king of "City state of Rome" is Romulus, the last emperor of western Roman Empire is Romulus, how ironic.
I like how all "EVIL" people look like Rasputin in your videos.
Small correction: it’s not Alba, but Alba Longa; modern day Albano Laziale, it’s not in southern Italy but only a few miles far from Rome, in a hilly region known as the “Roman Castles”
I wish we could witness the raise of both two empires in history: Roma and Ream. But, we never had it :-0
Hoàng Kim Việt Well, I doubt they wound of both been empires.
J2Dragon The story of the brothers is just a myth lol
This myths sounds like the story of sons of Adam in the Quran
Ream would live for another thousand years after Rome fell until the turks sacked it's capital city
It will be because it is an Indian drama
I feel like this is a stronger return to form in why I subscribed initially. I get things like Canada or Chile having names that have their own story, but meatier stories like this are what really set this channel apart.
Michael Wade The Tuesday country videos are a much lighter affair. It’s on Fridays we get into the bigger topics :)
Romulus: "I saw more birds, the gods favor me!"
Remus: "I saw my birds first, the gods favor me!"
Mars: "...Probably should have worked out the details ahead of time..."
when you realize it's actually April 21st today.
Has no one noticed that the two brothers are Red and Green, just like Mario and Luigi?
Okay let me just add on: Despite popular myths, Romulus and Remus were not breastfed by an _actual_ She-wolf, but instead by Shakira!
or by a prostitue because "lupa" means prostitute AND she-wolf.
@@denisenova7494 "La lupa" it's also an outdated term for "femme fatale". There's a famous short story of Giovanni Verga (an Italian writer from the late 19 century) in which the main protagonist receives this moniker for being a nymphomaniac.

i live 30 km from Rome, thanks
no

So Remus Lupin's name comes from this story of the wolf
Remus was assassinated by barbarians.

We have some fanathics like this in Romania.
Great vid! Also, in some versions The death of Remus also used to symbolize, on a more pessimistic view, how Rome's corruption and treachery were always part of it's foundations.
Just me , let me know
I was taught that the two brothers set on their own hills (as depicted) but never spoke to each other after, and when the one brother died, the other felt terrible, and buried him in a royal way and named the city after his dead brother. I don’t know if my teacher was teaching wrong or not, but that’s how I was taught.
if that myth disappeared in history Rome will be called the Latinipolis (city of latins), the Romans are now called Latins and the Roman Empire will become the Latin Empire
newslayer3351 polis is Greek though
newslayer3351 more likely it would be urbs, one of the Latin names for a city but also used exchangeably to refer to Rome, similar to how ‘the city’ refers a part of London it refers to the whole of Rome
Joe Bowden since Latin borrowed heavily from greek, so let’s pretend that Rome adopted the name “latinipolis.”
newslayer3351 fair enough
newslayer3351 and I guess that Latin was not in use at the time that Rome was supposedly founded
This myth is the only origin story of Rome we know. When someone is talking about the origins of Rome most of the time they use this myth because n -one really knows the real origins of Rome.

Gee I'm so glad we've come so far and we no longer name cities after fairy tales. Greetings from Corpus Christi, Texass.
Oof
I hope that’s a joke

Love this channel
So is mars a deadbeat or overprotective hard to say
Two things:
1) "Lupa" in latin means she-wolf, but also prostitute. Probably it was a prostitute that found and raised Romulus and Remus.
2) The mith tells that Romulus said "no one will ever enter the City with weapons" and his brother challenged him trespassing the perimeter (no wall yet at the time) with a knife, and his brother killed him.

All roads lead to Rome?
Jesus is the way,,,,, leading to Rome.
A wolf that gives milk to children.
Well that's the explanation of my name.
Get a proper job and make videos.Why worry yourself over videos that might not be successful?
‘Iupa’, when searched in the dictionary, can also have the meaning of ‘Prostitute’
Not the first.
This was a really good video my man. I really like the content, but I wish they were a little longer.
So was Rhea descended from Aeneas, because I thought Romulus and Remus were descended from Aeneas.
Amazing, i saw this on April 21 making it doubly so.
How were there Vestal Virgins before Rome? Wasn’t Vesta a Roman goddess.?
Your video is used in my history lessons and everyone is watching it now.
floppa
Roman Mytology similar to Turkish mythology.
This explained the history behind my son's name much better than I did xD
It was a different time? Sounds qwhite normal today🤣
So many similarities between this and the Jewish/Christian Bible.
In Italian it is Rea Silvia not Rhea Silvia why do English people get this so wrong.
thus began the Romulan Star Empire.
Isn't the Latin word for she-wolf the same as the one for prostitute?
You should do a name explain of all your patreon supporters
5:49 i think that outline was intentionally done bro
you forgot Virgil's Aeneid.
Whhhhaaaaat!
A god that cares at least the teeeniest tiiniest bit about his illegitimate children? What a nice change of pace.
It's quite Moses christianity-like innit
The same location of the plate you eat is where your city grows.
Feral children - usually, they have such troubles they can't talk, ever, if kept too long by beasts.
Do you think Romulus and Remus:
* escaped some, by the fact of being TWO humans?
* caught some, as examplified by how Remus died?
I really love your artstyle..its so cute ^^
Don't say that the she-wolf's name was Lupa. Lupa literally just means "she-wolf". She was just a random wolf. Same for the woodpecker.
That's a lot of similarities to a certain religion all from one story
Why do they have different color hairs?
Etymologically I think the best explanation for the name ROMA is that it comes from a word for river or stream because of Rome's location on the Tiber river.It is related to the Greek word rheo which means TO FLOW and is present in such words as rheumatism,diarrhoea,rheostat and many other words.The English word STREAM is related as is the German STROM.Also the rivers Rhine,Rhone and Strymon also incorporate the same word.Rome at one stage may have been called Stroma which is even more close to the English word STREAM.

So, you're saying... If Remus has killed Romulus instead, today, we'd be studying the history of Ream?

Happy birthday rome
Reminds me of the story of Mowgli who was raised by a pack of wolves.
Romulus and Remus: The Original Jungle Book tale
Idk why, but in the South Slavic languages we don't call it Rome, we call it RIM!
The lupa is also on the AS Roma crest

I just woke up and saw the thumbnail and thought it said "The myth that collapsed Rome" wtf is wrong with my eyes.
why does this remind me of the bible?
You should do a team up with Mythology and Fiction explained. Back in the old stories, character names had meanings that can shed light back on to the stories themselves.
I always wonder how many people were accompanying each of the brothers, i don't think they built those walls by their only 2 hands
Yes. That is how it happened.
Ave Roma Aeterna
In short:
A dude named Romulus founded a city and named Roma after himself, and its called Rome in English
Figs are both delicious and ancient fruit
(Hell they can grow in the Carolinas)
looks like a ginger ice king
sounds like moses to me lol
in hebrew we also call it Roma
but when we talk about the empire we say Romi (which is originated in the Roman conquest of Judea)
but it based on hebrew that was spoken during the roman empire in the Judea province
as we say in english
FUCK THE HATERS
