  • On april 10th 491, just a day after the disparition of the Isaurian emperor Zeno, his widow, Ariadne, was given the task of choosing a new monarch. The next day, Anastasius, an old official in his early sixties, sat on his newly acquired throne. Six weeks later, the marriage between Ariadne and the new emperor took place.

    Your videos are one of the most detailed, best animated, best narrated history series on the CZcams and yet, sadly your channel is also perhaps the most underrated of all history channels! Truly, more people need to watch this.

    I am just interested where you acquired the information about the army commander Julian that died fighting against the Bulgars in 493. I can’t seem to find any info about this guy anywhere on the internet and I am just interested on who he was and how you know about him.

    • @ancientsight
      @ancientsight  Před 10 měsíci +1

      I got that information from Hugh Elton, The Roman Empire of Late Antiquity; 2016. I believe it does not give more informations. It is only said that a certain "Julian" died fighting the bulgars. He was perhaps Magister Militum of Thrace or Illyricum.

    Another question just occurred to me. The video mentions a man named Aristus who suffered major casualties fighting the Bulgars. I also would like to know where you acquired info about him, as I have not been successful in doing so. There was also the mention of a general named John who fought against the Isaurians. I’ve found two John’s that fought against the Isaurians: John the Scythian and John the Hunchback. I’d like to know which John the video mentions, if not a completely different John😅

    • @ancientsight
      @ancientsight  Před 9 měsíci

      You are in bad luck because that is the last video I made without safeguarding my research files. But here i what I can remember :
      Aristus : Also a almost unknown commander mentionned only in name in the book "Hugh Elton, The Roman Empire of Late Antiquity; 2016"
      Two John : Both John fought in the Isaurian war but the one I aimed to represent was John the Hunback. I think he was the senior commander over John the Scythian.

    • @torchem229
      @torchem229 Před 9 měsíci

      @@ancientsightI’m pretty sure John the Scythian was the one who inflicted the final defeat in 497, at least that’s what is says on Wikipedia😅 That’s why I am sort of confused on why you showed John the Hunchback rather than John the Scythian in 497 in your video.

    • @ancientsight
      @ancientsight  Před rokem +1

      That sounds definitely possible, especially knowing how they kept a somewhat independant spirit from the different empires they were subjugated by. Thus they most probably kept a distinctive genetic and cultural continuity. Still, it is the first time I hear about that, I cannot say
