@Magne M that's the difference between the amateur and the real Chad, the former can't see from other perspectives, only through his own and makes hasty judgements, the latter can understand what happened during the studied period and why it happened and why people of that time did what they did, and has little concern of weither it is right or wrong in contrast with our own standards.

But nobody is talking about how Theodoric (A barbarian) repented of his ways and became sort of civilised.

@@JGrimm52 No, they were the Xiongnu, a different group. The Mongols were much, much worse. Mind you, it's a bit hard to tell the group apart. Only 3 ever seriously menaced Europe (the Huns, Mongols, and the Magyars, who were settled and became today's Hungarians), with the Avars being more of a minor threat, and others like the Pechenegs were little more than an annoyance. The Seljuk Turks never got Europe, and the Ottomans were a settled group by then, not from a steppe. Honestly, 9 times out of 10, those groups aren't really dangerous, but when they get organized at the same time civilization is losing its organization, they become a threat.

I have to say, this whole series was something you don't see quite often. The time required for research, scripting and animation, to make the roman history as entertaining and funny as this series has done it. It really opens up the door for more people to check out the history and see for themselves "wow, is this guy for real?" and see for themselves what really happened. Truly, this whole series was amazing, in content, in interest, and I'm glad we got to this point, that the whole series has come from the foundation of Rome to now this, the fall. And the way we witnessed the quality of the videos increasing every time. This was an amazing work.

Marcellinus and Aegidius may be the two most chad Wojaks in this entire series.
Even as Rome burned down around them, they still resisted. The last of a dying breed.
True heroes of Rome
Despite being isolated from Italy, the kingdom of Soissons under Aegidius managed to hold on against the Burgundians and Visigoths, and Aegidius managed to win a couple of major battles against the Visigoths, including the battle of Orleans. Aegidius however lacked the resources to try to push south to take the Visigothic-held lands in Aquitaine.
Aegidius would eventually die in 465, some say he was poisoned or he died naturally. The Kingdom was succeeded by his son Syagrius, but in the 480s, the Franks under Clovis finally took the Kingdom, ending the "Kingdom of the Romans"
Can't forget Julius Nepos.

It is interesting how a history of a great collapse is not just because of the economic downfall, environmental pressures and migrations, as you can read in history books, but also because of all these thousand little betrayals, treachery, disloyalty and corruption. What if that fleet wasn't burnt? What if good generals weren't killed by their own? How should the world become so that great greed and lack of ideals would cause this wave of bertayals that would end Rome?
Really interesting how those parts are left out, isn't it?
@@Fridaey13txhOktober *Especially because those parasites are the ones who survive,thrive, and persist in their malignity*
ah, if, truly there is no crueler word in all the human tongues
It's possible that this endemic treachery was caused by a rapid shrinkage of the wealth of the Empire, causing a sort of Malthusian catastrophe among the elite which made the rule of the day "Stab or be stabbed" . At the same time the continual decline of life in the Empire weakened people's faith in it, whether high or low.
There is nothing really shocking about it of you study the economic history of Rome. The annual cost of living in the capital at the height of the empire was around 20.000 sesterces, or about four times the average wage, a problem compounded by the over 150 holidays, during which working was frowned upon. During the time of the Caesars the Roman population on the grain dole tripled due to mass unemployment of farm labourers displaced by slaves, and much of the middle class were totally dependent on handouts from their patrons to survive. All of this contributed to a bewildering labyrinth of hidden loyalties and debts backed up by people desperate for money to the shame of falling down to rely on the often irregular and regularly attempted abolished grain dole. In other imperial cities, a grain dole often didn’t exist at all.
And all this was _before_ the Roman economy collapsed in the 3rd century and Diocletian forced the plebs into proto-serfdom.

As far as I’m concerned, this is THE most compelling documentary on Roman history out there, in spite of all the jokes and intentional inaccuracies. Thank you so much based Dovah. Roma aeterna ☦️
Can you fill me in on the intentional inaccuracies, I only know a brief overview of Roman history, not up to snuff on the details, but I am also wary of picking up any modern printed history books since I am aware of the efforts of certain members in academia to push an agenda that involves rewriting European history.
@@gravygraves5112 what makes you assume that earlier books were written without an agenda in mind?
@@Ladifour I don't doubt there being ones that are, but I also believe that there was a point in the past in academia where presenting an as unbiased view as possible with what information was available was more important than trying to push ones moral or political agenda.
Basically, I'd like to read something that is devoid or as devoid as possible of the authors opinion or modern moral beliefs.
@@gravygraves5112 Not necessarily wrong, but try not to assume polemicism outright. there may be specific currents, but if you are looking for them you will find them regardless if they are there are not. if something doesnt make logical sense or they are overly focusing on something maybe, but try not to disregard out of hand.
@@Ladifour Maybe not without agenda, but I can understand there is a certain non cynicism that can often be found in older books. TBH i usually like to read a modern and victorian/ old source for a sense of relitivity. Some older sources can be blatantly narritve, but sometime those narratives can honestly bring some perceptual insight into history. Also, sometimes more modern works can feel a bit like they have too much of a nominally modern bias, or utilize a rather particular paradigm of analysis (not that older sources dont do this either, but I think those are easier to pick up on due to societal difference). Of course the more academic the source the less likely it is but still.
Meanwhile on Extra History:
"Caesar was killed on the Senate Floor because the Senators feared Cleopatra's influence in Rome due to her getting Caesar to act like a Pharaoh, adopt the Egyptian calendar, and install his son Caesarion as the heir to both Rome and Egypt."
My heart weeps for the Empire. How far have we fallen to let such lies and deceit corrupt our minds?
Wow that is straight up making up shit.
Not even HC who dislikes Caesar a lot goes with "they were just trying to save the Republic from a tyrant" angle.
How the hell does one end up with that conclusion? Roman through and through, already had made it clear he was interested in more power, and Octavian was already Caesar’s heir. I don’t understand.

“One by one, the free cities of the Western Empire fell to the power of the Huns. But there were some who resisted. A last alliance of Romans and barbarians marched against the armies of Attila, and on the Catalaunian Plains of Gaul, they fought for the freedom of the West.”
Kinda hidden genius since there were implications that Theoden was based on Theodoric, which is kinda in line since Tolkien studied Germanic history.
They say a man never truly dies until his memory is forgotten forever, so too did Rome never die, the city may have been sacked and it's emperor deposed the legacy of Rome echoes still to this very day. Men like Gaius Julius Caesar or Augustus will never truly be forgotten even now centuries and centuries after their deaths; so many books and games and videos have been made on these historical legends that their deeds will ring true to us for centuries to come, their writings and philosophical ideas still get taught and modern military leaders still marvel at how the Romans could be so tactically brilliant given the more primitive era they lived in. You need not cry because Rome as we knew it is gone because Rome is indeed eternal.
What we do in life . . . Echoes in eternity.

It is interesting, because while these series are obviously a distorted and biased telling of history (which is the bloody joke), the main historical facts are there, and I'm sure that many people like me have started researching roman history after watching these videos. If something is making history interesting and entertaining, then It's very valuable, as It ultimately promotes the viewers to culturally enrich themselves. For all this, thank you, Dovahhatty. Looking forward for your take on other historical periods.
This is what cultural enrichment _actually_ looks like! -)
Yeah, while I REALLY enjoy this series, I really irks me how many LARPers and sexists hide in the comments treating EVERYTHING as gospel. It seems many of these people haven’t looked at Rome through anything except CZcams videos :/

When you realize that the son of a man who sacked Rome helped Aetius defend it from the greatest threat in its history and died for civilization. Rest in peace Theodoric I., King of the Visigoths, you have partially redeemed yourself and your people from your father´s crimes...
RIP
Theodoric was only gonna temporarily do it, the way his visgothic kingdom went, back to ransacking the west after the battle. The only germ anyone good can trust was Stilicho
Perhaps he was not given enough time to change the germs. He may have redeemed his lineage only in this small fragment of history. But alas. The germs were not changed entirely.

Did anyone notice that he started the series with “There once was a dream a dream called Rome” and ended it with it.
As Rome started as a city ,it would end as a city
This series is much like Rome itself.
From an unknown, upstart shitpost to a grand legacy of memery. That it's ending is sad, is only due to how great it was.
But I'm pretty sure you're gonna do England next, what with that whole Arthur reference.
Or Venice. With that other thing
He's probably going to cover Justinian and the Byzantine Empire next
England would be pretty based tho, Wessex chads uniting the island and continuing the roman legacy of mopping the floor with barbarian raiders would be glorious
If Dovah makes an unbiased history of England with Arthurian legend as their begin, he's should include the Roman-Briton Aurelius Ambrosius as well for reference started (year 410)
Panzer Of The Lake he’s already said he probably won’t do the byzantines because he would be shitting on Muslims the entire time and CZcams would demonetize him

@Funny Corn And now it's age restricted again
It's because there's "cartoons" in the video and if some kids watch it you could get in trouble with youtube/the law because of COPPA.
In the guidelines of "Determining if your content is "made for kids"" it reads:
"Whether the video includes characters, celebrities, or toys that appeal to children, including animated characters or cartoon figures."
Very vague... So one option to protect yourself from bullshit take downs is to set an age restriction.

CRUCIFY THE HUNS WHO DISLIKED THIS 100% PURE PATRICIAN VIDEO!
To be completely serious, the growth in how "roman" different characters are throughout the series is beautiful.
It starts as a tongue in cheek almost nazi-like level of adherence to roman genetic superiority, but as the empire grows and the times it experiences become more troubled the idea of a "civilized roman" is less a genetic identity and more a shared ideal.
It's almost touching that here, in the ultimate episode, an enemy barbarian visigothic king can become "civilized" in a way not yet seen in the entire series by fighting for the preservation of civilization. It morphs from standard roman eugenic superiority to a meritocratic, pragmatic way of applying the honor of true roman chad. It kind of accurately represents the same struggle with identity that Rome itself went through during all these periods.

Crazy how that correlates with its Fall though, huh?
Weird that that's an attitude that's been ascendant for a wee while now too
@@corneliuscapitalinus845 It only emerged from the fall because the worsening conditions served as a crucible for better ideas to emerge, such as the meritocratic idea of chadhood. If that attitude had been ascendant to begin with, Rome would likely have never fallen until that idea fell out of favor. Cope and seethe eugenicist.
39:34 is the most heartbreaking and infuriating moment. Rome didn’t fall in battle, and it’s rulers had not met the invader at the gates ready to fight as so many had done before. Instead, their capital was taken without a fight, and the “emperor” cowered in fear as the empire was stolen from him.
He was a mere boy and his father whom was the real power behind the throne died in battle.
Can't blame a boy emperor lol

RaDicalXG there is only one civilization: ROMA
I think the INGENIUS thing about this guys videos is how he portrays pretty much anyone who isnt apart of Rome. These of course being people like the Sassanids, The Huns, The Celts and literally all the barbarian hordes invading Rome at the time. He portrays them as evil monsters who use black magic and crave destruction, while portraying the Roman's as just regular people. And since this is a parody it's obvious he doesnt really see those people as how he portrays them as or the events regarding magic being used in place for how they went down historically. But the Ingenius thing is that this is probably what the ROMANS saw them as at the time, and in turn is giving a story off a Roman perspective. Which I just find very nice attention to detail and hope to see that more going forward.
Yeah, Sassanids may be the only exception because they and Rome had basically recognized each other as the only places that were civilized (although the Sassanids still maintained their weird Eastern sandy ways).
Majorian hit on the one possible solution for a loyal, Roman army in the last days of the Western Empire: arm the serfs. Rome had the manpower to overcome all of the barbarians tribes in its borders, just not the willingness to use it. Serfs were an asset to the landowners, after all. If only breaking up big estates and training the peasants had come several decades earlier, things might have been different. As it was, Majorian couldn't do any of that and it was too little too late by then in any event. Money was an issue too by the 450s, especially after the loss of the reasonably rich province of Africa. Not that Italy wasn't rich (for the time), but by that point, Italy alone wasn't enough.
Words can't describe how much I've enjoyed this series.

@C.J MacDairmant did you feel the pain of watching the history of rome since 3rd century onwards? Byzantine Empire is just a millenium of that. I fear my heart'll fall apart
Try telling that to Justinian. He actually retook Rome and the empire held it again until the mid-700s AD. 476 was only the fall of the Western Empire.
Came here just looking for this comment, lol
@@fisstaschek True. But despite having to deal with even more shit they somehow managed not only to hold on but to at times flourish. The Macedonian dynasty was basically a family of fuck yous to world around them.
That's it. We need to reload the game from the late 100s AD, before the Crisis of the 3rd Century and before the Severans took power. Commodus can't take power, the Praetorian Guard must be disbanded earlier, Rome needs to get off its dependency on latifundia, serfdom must not take root, barbarians must not be let in and hired to defend Rome under their own kings, and the currency must not be debased any more. If absolutely nothing else, we have to handle the Aurelian and Crispus event chains much better, as both ended with their early demise. At least the Constantine event chain went as well as possible, apart from Crispus.

But it might have brought down Roman central authority, due to citizens with homesteads or manors feeling that government can’t protect them while taking what is theirs, even up to siding with Germanic tribes who were romanized ironically enough.
