Support me on Patreon: / spectrumytentertainment Here's a summarized video on the Roman kings, those legendary figures which, according to tradition, led Rome in its initial era.
Romulus: “Citizens of the newly founded city of Rome. After many efforts and sacrifices, we have managed to definitively establish ourselves in the Peninsula. Therefore, there is something important that I want to announce to all of you... Although our relationship with neighboring peoples may not be completely friendly, we shall never cry out for war. We are people of peace and we do not long to make any conquests. As long as we have breath left in our bodies, my brother and I shall govern defending equality, justice and respect for other peoples and religions. And now, my beloved brother Remus has a few words to share with us. We listen, brother" Remus: "According to our latest observations, the female population of the city is too small for the birth rate to be maintained..." Romulus: *Doom music kicks in*
@@analander9222 There is a different myth in which Remus was killed during battle with a neighboring tribe. The fratricide story is just more popular because it better describes the Roman condition.
It's funny how the Roman kingdom was ended by someone trying to retain absolute power being overthrown by senators led by someone named Brutus. And the Roman Republic's end came after someone tried to gain absolute power being overthrown by senators led by someone named Brutus.
Remus: "Have you decided what our city will be, brother?" Romulus: "Of course, brother. It shall be that heavenly garden that the Jewish merchants mention in their stories. A unique paradise that will beautify this land rotten with violence. A place where war does not exist. A place where there are no oppressors and oppressed. No one will be more graceful than anyone else. Men shall love each other as brothers and the most beautiful women will make love to each other like lovers. Our city shall prosper with the peace symbolized by trade. And one day... one day it will occupy all corners of the Earth. And that city...that paradise...will be called...Roma" Remus: "...That's the stupidest name for a city I've ever heard in my life." Romulus: *Stabs Remus* "SHUT UP!!!"
Honestly I am quite convinced that at least part of this Roman period is true. Sure, maybe some kings are missing and not being mentioned, and kings we do have are cerdited with some deeds they actually didnt do, but I am quite convinced these 7 kings did exist and ruled over Rome and were the most significant ones of roman kings. I am more on doubt about Aeneas, but thats way different case.
I think it is often thought that the first 4 kings are apocryphal, again filling in the glorious virtues praised by the Romans, but it is often also seen that the 3 last kings are real, as we have real evidence for the rise of Junius Brutus and it makes a lot of sense.
@@BritishRepublicsn I think that could be true, but it feels a little unrealistic and convenient to name a kingdom after a first ruler whose name fits more with future classical latin than with the latin at the time. I don't know, though, you could be right!
I agree, the odds of them having such long lived kings is unheard of, that stuff didn't start happening till the 1600s, but back in the BC time, people died from the wind. I mean, France had so many royal deaths that they put a newborn on the throne in the middle ages and had to find a replacement real fast.
To be fair, one can hardly compare a random city state like Rome to a powerful Medieval kingdom like France. Very different times and very different states
Trojans during the destruction of the city: "WE ARE ALL DEAD!!!" Aeneas: "Don't worry, guys. I have a plan!" Trojans: "Really?! What's you idea!?" Aeneas: "I shall form a family and, thousands of years later, two of my descendants will found a powerful city that will destroy our enemies. Sounds brilliant, right?" Trojans: "You are banished" Aeneas: "And with good cause!"
Can you make a video about the Hungarian kings? I think the medieval kingdom is sometimes overlooked even though it was on par with kingdoms such as France and England. And it also had some nifty kings
Its very overlooked, as a history enthousiast myself primarily in ancient and 20th century. And only jumping into medieval history last few months i was suprised to see how strong and succesful eastern european states actually were
@@Ray-lf1eo I know right? people like the Bulgars just asserting themselves as a superpower, surrounded by powerful states. One of the kings, Kaloyan is known for devastating Thrace so bad, that the affected regions remained desolate for centuries to come! Absolutely insane how such captivating and epic history gets so often overlooked and overshadowed
Could you do an average life of a Roman citizen throughout the history of Rome? Like one in Roman kingdom, then early republic, Punic wars, late republic, early empire, 5 good emperors, crisis of third century, Tetrarchy, fall?
Hello Mr. Spectrum, I don't know your plans for future videos, but a suggestion if you're low on ideas is a video where any major corrections to a monarch video are addressed. For example you mentioned you would have Henry VII higher if the English list was remade. Just generally listing some of the people who you feel you ranked too low or too high in the rankings would be interesting to watch. Thank you for all you do.
"How many people! Did you ever think, when we were young, that a day like this would come? That we would have so many people there in front of us calling us kings and that only the gods would be above us?" *Old and senile King Romulus speaking to his brother Remus during a celebration on the Campus Martius, 716 B.C.*
1:30 France !!! Robert II "the Pious" -34 years, 8 months and 26 days , Henry I -29 years and 15 days ,Philip I "the Amorous"-47 years, 11 months and 25 days ,Louis VI "the Fat"-29 years and 3 days, Louis VII "the Young"-43 years, 1 month and 17 days, Philip II "Augustus"-42 years, 9 months and 26 days . And all are sons of there predecessors !!!
That's 6 kings, though. And even then, you had two junior co-kings dying in their teens. And keep in mind, it may not necessarily look like it, but the Medieval Age was far more stable than the Classical Era.
They would be likely to live from 60- 70 given the fact that that a large portion died as children or newborns. Them being crowned from 20-30 years makes them reigning for 40 years at most completely possible
2 ideas you could do are ranking every Crusader King of Jerusalem which is everyone in this Wikipedia article en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_Jerusalem and ranking the Kings of Scotland en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Scottish_monarchs
I dont agree with any of this. Rome has been founded right between rich Etrurian cities and rich greek Neapolis (Naples). And tried to make a profit from their economic exchange and trade. Nearby cities like Tarquinia and Veii didnt like that at all. And that was the only reason for war, not women, slaves and other bullshit. Just a trade, money and power, just like today.
Romulus: “Citizens of the newly founded city of Rome. After many efforts and sacrifices, we have managed to definitively establish ourselves in the Peninsula.

Pretty sure Remus was already murdered by then.

Roman historians tend to give whatever historical record fits the time they're writing.

The Roman Kingdom history is the biggest shitpost in Roman history
It's very interesting seeing the story Romans are telling themselves with these kings

They were related

Jack Rackham: make a series of shorts on the Kings of Rome, refuses to make a coherent single video.
Spectrum: fine, I’ll do it myself.
Romulus killed Remus in a fratricide ❌
Romulus framed by Orestes, who killed Remus in a dark pact with Atilla ✅
Yes, I watched Dovah-chan.
It seems strange that such a family oriented society like Rome would idolise a kinslayer
He's the reason why I still have nightmares on my cringe romaboo phase

I mean those roman king reign lengths are mostly mythical but the bourbon dynasty did get pretty close to having as many long ruling monarchs

The first seven kings before known recordings all reigning at least 25+ years
East Asia: That’s adorable
So the Roman REPUBLIC effectively both began AND ended by way of a man named BRUTUS. From Romulus to Romulus, Constantine to Constantine. What poetry
Ranking the Ottoman Kings would be a fun video

You should rank the kings and the consels
Roman King tier list when? xD

Fun Fact:
“Rome”>Game of thrones.
6:40 I believe you mean Tarqy Tarq Super bus
I've been of the opinion that legendary figures like Romulus were real just exaggerated. I can buy the idea he died at sea though.
Why is there a random clip of Antinous' head spinning at 1:32?
Interesting

Please rank ottoman sutlans
why didn’t i see this before 26th may 😭
Tarky Tark Super-Bus
Now rank all Roman consuls during the repulican era!
I believe that era of time at least, their calendar of counting months and years should not be as accurate as modern times.
Wanted: Nepalese kings summarized
F for the lost
I don't see why it's not possible. It's is a possibility that seems to be the truth since there is evidence of the last 3 kings.
