      Are you reviewing your videos after you upload them to CZcams? I don’t know how you are missing this, but the audio in every video you upload to CZcams is far, far too quiet. The problem is wildly apparent in each of your videos and makes you channel unwatchable. I’m one video away from unsubscribing because it’s extremely difficult to hear what you are saying.
      Right-click on this video and select “Stats for Nerds”. From there, you will see that CZcams measures the audio in this video as 11.8 dB too quiet. 11.8 dB is HUGE. A 5 dB deficit is very noticeable, which means your video at almost 12 dB too quiet is beyond unacceptable. In order to hear what you are saying, I have to blast the volume on my device. “That’s not a big deal.”, you say? Well sure, until the next video on CZcams plays and my ears are destroyed by the loud volume because the other creators know how to properly export their videos for CZcams. You really, really, really need to address this export problem with your videos because they are unwatchable as they currently stand.
      I don’t know what program you use to export video, but there is information out there for nearly every program that will help you achieve the proper export settings. For example, here’s a video about using Adobe Premiere: czcams.com/video/GBH0BFvCLAA/video.html
      I beg you, please address this problem with your channels. Your content seems like it might be excellent, but any positive qualities of your videos is completely overridden by the inaudible narration. No one has any business subscribing to a channel where we cannot hear the videos.

      I've just compared the volume of the three most recent videos from this channel to the volumes of the latest three videos I've viewed from my library, each of these three are from different channels and one of them is from a popular news outlet. I found that the difference in volume was
      negligible with only the volume on the news channel being slightly higher than the other five videos.

    Pete, many do history themed films, documentaries, indie shorts on every conceivable topic but you stand alone. Your manner, phrasing, passion for your material sets you apart and while I often wish you could pump one of these films out every week I know I'm talking rubbish. I retired from teaching (because of the lockdown) but when I did have classes I could never find a way to squeeze it all in about Rome, and oddly enough, the students always wanted more! This was worth the wait, as all your films are, there is no one like you in this field Pete Kelly!

    Just imagine if there wasn't all the internal backstabbing/treachery within the Roman state, how much longer the Roman Empire would have lasted? One can make the sound argument that "the fall of Rome" was not from any external enemy, but rather from the enemies from within... As duscussed in this video, even in Rome's collapsed state/end times, there were still chances to repair it yet internal treachery prevented it. In my opinion of civilizations and their collapse, it's more often due to "the fall from within" rather than any one great seige or battle. Most are wrongly taught and or have the impression of the later. Rome did not fall when the Visagoths and Vandals sacked the city, Rome fell internally long before those events. To further put into perspective, the exact same thing is happening today in Europe and especially in USA. History my friends does repeat itself because "history" is the psychology and repeatative actions of man.

    Its surprising how many ancient things are a few inches under the soil .
    Ive found bronze age artifacts, iron age , Celtic, Roman, Saxon, medieval, Tudor etc..

Maybe one could consider these last holdouts around the Black Sea.

    Thank you for pointing out the fallacy of Voltaire’s statement about the Holy Roman Empire; the institution of the emperor and concept of universal imperium meant that the emperor was viewed with great reverence as once of the most powerful monarchs in the world.
    This was true even by the time of Voltaire, by which point, as he so crudely points out, the empire had become quite disunited - even at that stage the Habsburg Holy Roman emperors held enormous sway over international geopolitics, even if beginning their long, slow decline which ended in their deposition in 1918.

    This is impressively done! So detailed, thorough, and well-researched. It truly deserves huge appreciation from history buffs and accidental victims of the algorithm gods alike. I only wish there were a film that similarly covers what life was like for the actual Romans during this period. It's unfortunate that most of the history of Rome talks about the various battles and expansion campaigns- centering, of course, on men, and says nothing about how the lives of the Roman proletariat either declined or stayed the same as the empire went into its final slide.
    Also, I wonder how long it will take for the Americans to realize their empire is ending too. Has it already ended and we just don't know it yet? Are we due several more decades of desperate attempts at militarism and land grabs? Or will we go out with a single, final event? Come to think of it, I don't know anything about what it was like for the British, the Spanish, and the Portuguese as their empires came to an end either. Maybe it was the true causes of the various civil wars and then the world wars... it's interesting to ponder. Drop some links if you have good content on the topic!

    Your videos are excellent for use in History studies classes. Thank you for making them. I don't understand why they would be demonetized. I watch them at night hoping something will sink in while I sleep.

    UPDATE - SITUATION RESOLVED.
    VIDEO DEMONETISED.
    Plot twist. CZcams has just disallowed ads on the latest video meaning it can't earn revenue and won't be shown to anyone in the algorithm. Apparently the fall of the Roman Empire is too much of a controversial subject. If anyone has any way of contacting CZcams to get this reviewed again or any ideas let me know. Absolutely gutted.

      that's kinda funny, since I'm watching an ad while I try to watch this, they seem very concerned (with keeping the money for themselves with flimsy excuses).

      I’m a DJ my mixes have nearly 1 million plays combined. I’ve never ever been able to monetise or get revenue for my content. Despite creating my channel, my mixes using dj skills that I’ve learnt over the past 20 years. Uploading videos, promoting and artwork. Apparently none of that counts because I’m playing music that commercially available so all proceeds go to the record labels and not a penny to me. The person who’s created the mix, video and drawn in revenue. I do it for the love of it. But it’s always bugged me. Welcome to the club. Hopefully they will reverse this for you. Not getting financial support while other content creators with the same watch time are absolutely sucks. Condolences. Please don’t delete or rage your content. Keep up the good work!

    Great overview in general and extremely entertaining, but I'm surprised Gemistos Plethon was not on this list. Surely he's a claimant to the title "last of the Romans" as he was the last great philosopher of the Greco-Roman tradition? Really see his writings and ideas as an important (arguably the most important) bridge between the Eastern Roman world and the Renaissance. He's very worthy of the title "last of the Romans".

    The empire continued for another 1000+ years in the Eastern Roman Empire. On a side note, Ricimer, Olympius, Honorius and Valentinian III have a lot to answer for.
    Stilicho, Majorian and Flavius Aetius, you did colossal work to try and save the Roman Empire.

He is often called the last Roman. All joking aside, this documentary is amazing

    It’s 100% correct that as American historian John Fiske said back in the 19th century, Rome crippled along in Europe as the Catholic ‘Holy Roman Empire’ until by the early 1800’s “it was neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire” - Voltaire. John Fiske literally considered the final nail-in-the-coffin for the ancient Roman system the same century he himself lived in as an academic in Boston! The Roman system sustained itself on life support through all the medieval kings and popes that slowly rebuilt civilization in the shadow that was the Roman Empire.

    A long video about a historical topic, with proper human narration and music, with still photos, graphics and dramatised scenes 👍👏👌
    I'm new/new-ish to the channel, having seen either a community post or having come across a video in the next suggested video so we sort of have to thank CZcams for this. But knowing that this video was initially demonetised meant that someone either carelessly clicked a button or just thought it was just a simple war video with lots of gore and violence so definitely no thanks to CZcams. Highly unfair to those who rely on CZcams for income and having their videos be pushed less by the algorithm and having less exposure
    Back to watching!

    Constantine XI Dragases Palaiologos is the last Roman emperor. The last Roman emperor that was born in Rome, a true Roman, was Anicius Olybrius.
