Yes, Kaiser, Tsar, Kejsare are all titles for emperors that originates in the name "Caesar". "Emperor" comes from the title "Imperator" that Augustus had.
As an addition: it was incredibly important to establish a ruler's legitimacy to be able to claim themselves as an emperor/their lands as an empire. The way for someone to do that was to link yourself to a former empire, so European rulers would try to establish links to the Roman empire or the Greek empire and call themselves the successors of Rome or Greece. In conquering the Eastern Roman empire/Byzantines, the Ottomans claimed to be the successors of Rome. Simultaneously you had Russia claiming to be the "Third Rome" as the bastion of the Orthodox church after the fall of Constantinople and continuation of the line of succession. Using the Tsar title is to carry the legacy of Caesar.
They also claimed legitimacy through the church/pope, which itself derives legitimacy through Rome. The Frankish Empire/The Holy Roman Empire under Charlemagne was legitimised by the pope and claimed the legacy of the western Roman empire through that. You then have Austria claim to be the continuation of the HRE. Another "Third Rome". The Habsburgs would also tie themselves to Charlemagne. Napoleon was also legitimised as emperor through use of the pope to coronate him.
Nations/States claiming to be a "Third Rome" gradually divorced the title of Emperor from being a direct line of succession to the Roman Empire. It became more of a legacy. Something you could claim and attempt to re-make the Roman empire through Imperialism. The German Empire connected themselves to the HRE similarly to Austria, also claiming to be a "Third Rome". The use of 'Kaiser' connects them to that legacy. Italy formed and claimed to be a Third Rome, Greece had plans to unite greater Greek lands into a new Eastern Rome/Byzantine empire. Many of the Balkan states would also claim that legacy, like Serbia and Bulgaria.
Yeah the english word emporor comes from the title of imperator.
In Swedish Kejsare means emporor and it's also true that the word kejsare comes from the title Caesar instead of imperator. Tsar and kaiser do also originates from the title Caesar.
About the pronunciation of Caesar as Kaisar.
The romans did pronounce the C as a K.
Remarkable is how this is preserved in german as Kaiser, or dutch Keizer. Even the russians used it as Tsaar
Yeh even the Arabs and Jews used K for Kaisar and not C, so i think they took it literally from the Greek.
One other thing that’s often overlooked is that the chariot races were way more popular than the gladiators - the factions were not too dissimilar to modern teams in the way that fans wore their colours. The circus (chariot race arena) was also the only place where legal gambling was permitted I believe
Of course things did change over time, but for the most part that all generally remained the case
@@vaudevillian7 So
You replied to your comment?
Small door sizes in medieval buildings can lead you to think we were small but the fact is a small door is easier to make and is less draughty and in castle doors more defendable
yeh you need to bent, same in other culture, here in my country door were specifically made lower so that anyone who enter the house will bent down as a respect for the homeowner.
"This is what we're capable of" - YES! That's why history is SO important. We need to remember and we need to acknowledge that we can still do this and we need to do all we can to prevent history repeating itself.
Originally the gladiator games werent about entertainment or sports, but as a way to teach courage.
The first games were held at funerals of the very rich, who would have served in the military as a commander. I suppose they were held to showcase the bravery of the deceased.
A few centuries later the games were popular entertainment, but not in a sadistic way. Watching bravery was still the point.
I think it was the poet juvenalis who coined the phrase 'bread and games' to criticize the state of society. Most people desired little more than that
I'm pretty sure Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic religion, it comes from ancient Persia.
I think Akhenaten founded the first monotheistic religion, by quite a period, but it literally lasted his lifetime then Egypt returned to a multi God system.
Judaism is regarded as older even (not by much), so that would make it the oldest continuous monotheistic religion.
Judaism and Yahwism are older.
@@Silvia_Arienti Yahwism was polytheistic with a whole bunch of gods and goddesses. Proof for Judaism being the oldest monotheistic religion is what except you want it to be?
@@PDVism Yahwism was originally monotheistic (and monolatristic). The later Canaanite version of Yahwism (which existed concurrently with Judaism) was polytheistic.
Zoroaster lived in around 1000 BC, Moses (the founder of Judaism) lived in around 1303 BC-1183 BC.
Metatron is amazing! Impressive historian I think. It's interesting to see how he has extended the range of his content out from medieval combat and weapons.
Alternatives to his channel, competitors, friends, whatever you want to call them are Shadiversity and Skallagrim. I like to think of these three channels as 'The Big Three' but for historic combat and civilisations. All three are combat trained too in their areas and have weapon collections, or did. I haven't been keeping up with them for a few years.
The Dutch are the tallest race in the world [the men that is].
The North Koreans are starved and have poor acess to a nutritional diet [even their soldiers], so it stunts their growth during adolescence, compared to South Korea.
The Watusi tribe I think have tallest people been on average seven - eight feet.
I think Zoroastrianism is the oldest monotheistic religion
Maybe. Atenism is the other contender. Though that was very shortlived.
The romans werent keen on nudity.
If you see a (partially) nude statue it is most likely a greek god or hero
I visited pompeii and herculaneum 2 months ago. Also the archeological museum of napels. That museum has an awesome collection of roman statues, frescos and mosaics.
If you ever have a chance do go there!
Or check it out on youtube
My favorite is a statue of the god Pan making 'love' to a goat. I bet the romans laughed their asses off. And i did too, watching a woman approach that statue and slowly realizing what she was seeing!
Great video, keep it up!
Just to say if you want more info on Gladiators, Lindybeige has a wonderful 2hr video on them and debunking alot of the myths around them.
Metatron is a very underrated and good channel. 1:59 there were many women who had covered the full breast but there were few who was half naked as to full naked breast or very very few occasions they naked in some parts in ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.
I think the Egyptian pharaoh Akhenaten with his Atenism was the first truly monotheism
I wonder if the hebrews got their inspiration from that source. I think that was very close to when they were in egypt
@@celsus7979 That was actually Sigmund Freud's theory. He went even further and argued that Judaism WAS Atenism and after the exodus the jews gave him the name JHV, but in all but name he was Aten. As I understand it this has pretty much been debunked, but you should check it out anyway - it's very interesting.

@ Marcus Hertz thanks for this video and the info.
I didnt know about Freud's theory, ill take a look!
Great roman first name by the way!
*video = i mean link to wiki
@@celsus7979 According to my parents the choice was between Marcus and Alexander, they must be very disappointed that I haven't conquered the world yet.
The guy in the helmet at the beginning looks like Ringo star
Kaesar is the correct pronunciation
In classical latin
The c mada a k sound
The v was a w (makes a aw sound if preceded by a A)
And the j was like a y like In German
Great stuff, wouldnt mind some more reactions to the superb metatron videos.
About infant mortality. Emperor Marcus Aurelius had 14 children, 13 of them died as a child. The one remaining became a terrible emperor and was murdered. Rome never again had an emperor with roots in Rome, and a century of murdered emperors and civil wars followed.
Poor Marcus Aurelius...
1. Judaism is one of candidates to being oldest monotheistic religion, others are Zoroastrianism or egyptian Cult of Aten. There is hypothesis that Judaism descends from exiled priests of Aten. 2. Female gladiators were a thing, but it was rare. Roman audience tended to be rather conservative and considered women fighting a bit of violation of social norms.
I recommend the CZcams channel Voices of the past - where the stories of the past are presented through the written accounts of the people who lived through it.
12:10 you can try to say the word "sheets" with a short vowel
Hi Connor! Another older monotheistic religion is Atenism. Around 1350 BCE Pharaoh Amenhotep IV, perhaps to curtail the power of the Egyptian priesthood abolished the pantheon of Egyptian gods and replaced them with worship of The Sun or 'The Aten'. Amenhotep changed his name to Akhenaten. This religion was abandoned after his death when Tutankhamen (or rather his co-regents Aye and Horemheb) restored the traditional Egyptian religion and priesthood.
I could've sworn the guy in the thumbnail was Ringo Star (Beatles drummer)
Yes... the german term "Kaiser" for the German Emperor/"Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire" is in direct relation to the term "Caesar"...
The German Emperor got announced to be Emperor by the Pope in Rome who gave the "German King" the titel "Imperator Romanorum" and as such he also got traditionally the byname "Caesar" and the literal german translation which was solely based on the classical pronunciation of "Caesar" was then "Kaisar" or "Kaiser" in German..rules for german orthography wasn´t a thing till the 19th century so you will find different variations of how "Kaiser" was actually spelled during the centuries...as like "Keiser/Keisar" or "Keizar" which is directly related to the term "Zar" (term for the russian Emperor) which was originally took over by the Slavs for their monarch as the shortened version of the german term "Keizar" and in their local slavic language the pronuciation of the german "Z" became "TS" or "CS" or "TZ"= "Tsar" or "Csar" or "Tzar" depending on which slavic language.
Zoroastrianism is often seen as the first monotheistic religion that was a stand-alone religion rather than a cult within another religion. Post-Exile monotheistic Judaism is thought to have arisen shortly after Zoroastrianism but it's not a 100% sure deal as a lot of early iron age history is not that well-documented. Prior to these there were other monotheistic-like cults (like pharaoh Akhenaten's cult of the Sun-Disk Aten) that were more out-there cults of existing polytheistic pantheons than separate religions. We don't know enough about a number of Bronze Age civilisations to exclude the possibility of monotheistic religions at that time, but the two OGs of monotheistic religions that we know of and are still around are Zoroastrianism, followed shortly by Judaism.
This guy has a very good video about the aztec empire and the spanish conquistadors. It has some mistakes, but overall it is very good.
Yes, both titles Kaiser and Tsar derived from the name "Caesar".
I can highly recommend toldinstone's CZcams channel, he has some really interesting videos exploring all sorts of weird aspects of Roman culture and society.
Gladiator games was a sport like boxing or fencing is today.
They got point for being better than the opponent and hitting the opponent. Being killed could happen but in the wast majority of fights no, it wouldn't make sense to kill your opponent.
It was entertainment not war.
It's like us try to speak old English
What do you mean? Judaism and Ancient Greek religion evolved completely separated from one another.
To answer your question,on the oldest monoteistic cult : it probably is the cult of Aten, during the reign of Akhenaten, the father of Tutankhamun . But there maybe older ones
Judaism wasn't the first monotheist religion, but was certainly one of the most influential, mainly because of the Christian religion. But monotheism, or some form of it, is a very old concept all over the world. Fr some more popular example, just look at the pharaoh Akhenaten around 1300 BC and at Zoroastrianism. And note that "modern" history say that only during and after the "Babylonian captivity" did the Israelite religion really became monotheist.
The word Kaiser does come from Caesar. I came from them trying to gain some credibility as an heir of the roman empire. Just look at the Holy Roman Empire history as an example for more facts.
Once again you change my view of americans! To the better! Stay curious! (BTW Metatron is great!). Great to see you are so interrested in Ancient Rome aswell!
I think at one point every legion had a group consisting of men above 1.80m who were considered 'elite' forces
Not sure if that was a rule or a preference by some general at some point
Minimal height is still a thing in many modern "elite forces".
...and in Spanish. If a word ends in an M e.g. : Benidorm is pronounced "Benidorrr..."... alternatively they could end the "M" with an "N".....my name would be pronounced "Ton"......
On the matter of the contrast between Roman and Greek deities there are a couple of pointers that come to mind that highlights the differences. Ares/Mars was seen as the embodiment of bloodlust and violence by the Greeks but as a patron of self-defence by the Romans, also Kronos/Saturn was seen as a violent and paranoid cannibal by the Greeks but as the master of how seasons progressed by the Romans.
The Romans had multiple forms of blood sports. Sometimes it was like a staged hunt where a professional like a gladiator would risk their life against a 'wild' animal but they'd have a good chance of winning, others were public executions that came in a number of brutally creative forms but were considered merciful compared to crucifixion and the gladiator-on-gladiator fight would typically be seen as the highlight.
The vowel length matter does occur in other languages but those would have the issue of a change of meaning more frequently than Latin.
Oddly enough the Romans themselves didn't actually use the term 'empire' in the sense of it relating to the word 'emperor'; they typically called it the 'principate' because some emperors opted to be titled 'princeps' to differentiate their position from that of a king. The word 'emperor' itself stems from the Latin 'imperator' which translates more along the lines of 'commander'.
The fact that the Germans had 'Kaiser' and the Russians had 'tsar' does indeed stem from the Romans: Roman Empire -> Western Roman Empire / Eastern Roman Empire -> Byzantine Empire / Holy Roman Empire -> Russian Empire / German Empire.
React to world war 2 navy comparison fleets evolution 1939 - 1946 please 🙏
RE: Judaism. Yes, it's one of the first monotheistic religions if we count the start of Judaism from Abraham. So around 4000 years ago. And no, there is no correlation between Judaism and the Greek and Roman gods. However there is a big correlation between the traditions of Roman gods and Catholics.
Gladiators were superstars like big sport players today, like football or tennis.
There was definitely a Greek influence on the Roman pantheon and because religion is fluid it is understood differently by different generations.
For example, in Genesis 32 there is a sub heading called *"Jacob wrestles with God"*
Modern Christians ignore the title and claim he was wrestling with a man or an angel.
They then skip over Gen 32:30 because it shows that their god is vulnerable.
Yup the German Kaiser is derived from the title Caesar. Germans always liked Roman empires as role Models. Thats why we had the holy Roman empire of German Nations at a point
Until after 1800 CE ... mortality in general and infant mortality in particular ... was very high. London was the first Western city, since first century Rome, to reach a million people, around 1800 CE, and even then, their public health was worse (no fresh water viaducts).
Heil to the glorious metatron!!!!!!!!
Wen u seee a image in your mind there's no screen no image so what are u really seeing
You tapped right on the nose with the gladiator stuff.
Yeah if you are fighting in the collseum in rome. Its likely to the death. Those are the big leauges. But the sport existed all over the empire. When you were starting out it was likely alot like wwe in the sense they had an agreement to go out. Cut eachother and fight a bit. But its just a show, everybody goes home
In fact, you could actually get fined if your gladiator killed another guys.
Gladiators earned the equivalent of 10s of thousands of dollars for a good and entertaining fight. Roman noble women would pay for vials of gladiator sweat as it was thought to be an aphrodisiac
Their is diferent kinds of steel , historical steel was a art form made bt hand
Sport the romans loved sports while yes carnage somtimes but it was sports most time
its a sport with some deaths
We see romes love for sports as when the gladiator game were banned by constantine they moved to a heavy focus on chariot racing another sport
Iteasnt faked its more like modern martial arts tournaments thsn wrestling
I'm the first viewer yay. You must watch spartacus blood and sand. Best series ever

both the german Kaiser, and the russian Kzar come from the name/title Caesar.
In regards to the nudity, no, not really, the typical garment for either a Greek person or a Roman person during that era would be a tunic which pretty much covered everything on the torso, women would wear a dress over that. Your typical Greek or Roman woman (even a slave) would not walk around with either one or both of their breast exposed, the statues depict gods or great heroes and the nudity is suppose to display their "perfection" at least as far as Greek Statues go, Romans were a different matter.
Oh and no Roman would wear a toga as an everyday wear as said garment was highly impractical and thus was reserved for special occasions (as it was seen as symbol of being a Roman citizen).
No, Judaism wasn’t the first monotheistic religion. Probably Zoroastrianism was the first true monotheistic religion, that we know about - which certainly had influence on Judaism and Christianity.
You should definitely check out Irving Finkel’s stuff, like the Ark before Noah - the Babylonian Exile had an undoubted influence on Judaism
He is great.
A lot of the top gladiators were treated like superstars today
S isn't a vowel. Just saying. It's a consonant.
Or am I missing something here
can you react to inbetweeners pleaseee its a UK classic so funny
Judaism did not got it from the Roman, Jews existed even before the Roman.
Metatron is a historical expert. Main source: lord of the rings 🙄
Mate - can't blame you for being confused - people spend years of their lives working all this out!!
Was Judaism the first mono-theistic religion? Not by centuries!! The original Creators/God-figures were all female! A god-figure who rose after 3 days, who was born of a virgin, etc. etc.? Yes that - and hundreds of beliefs across the Empire - were around during the Roman Era.
Graveyards...or commemorative stones in churches? Now this is something we Europeans do pretty well. We go & look in any old graveyard or church...and see how most folk died at around the same ages we do now. Not in their 20s. It is indeed the infant mortality rates that drive metrics up. We have the proof of this every time we take the dog for a walk through old church grounds.
So please don't think it some sort of "dumb" behaviour when you don't know stuff - just keep on asking questions. "Dumb" people aren't curious.
