Were Romans the real jews the whole time?
He surely wouldnt say "Vicisti, Galilaee" That's from a 19th century poem by Algernon Charles Swinburne Julian spoke Greek and all his written work is in Greek.
The fact that the Chads are becoming less and less common pains my soul.
Hey at least we got a even rarer sight a Wojak promoted into a Chad.
Yea it was pretty cool when we saw the Wojak become a swole as fuck Ceaser
When we get the Eastern Roman Empire standalone expansion we get an explosion of some chads but alas, the leeches infested the Empire just like the True Roman Empire...
But now I wonder what kind of History will we get after rome?
I hope it's Japanese history.
@@dianahaigwood3337 naw, Catholic history ftw. We still have the crusades, renaissance, conquest, and reformation my guy

Then how did he do it
@Nate Higgers
Marcus Aurelius was also a wojak who turned Chad
Well all Romans are the descendants of Aneas. It's just that the Patricians have a more direct and fecund and fertile seed. Any strong enough pleb could pull himself up by the bootstraps. That is the thing though, not many plebs were good enough for it. In the republic that was the case, Aneas had been only a few hundred years removed from their times. But now its six hundred and you can see that Chads are becoming less common, even amongst the direct Patrician lines.

In reality, he probably really wasn't that intimidating, appearance-wise. His legs would have been deformed due to almost a literal lifetime in the saddle, people as a whole were shorter back then. I'm about six feet tall, so I'd probably be able to look down on Attila the Hun.

The Sassanids were troubled by a different group known as the Hephtalites or "White Huns", who may or may not have had any connection to the Huns themselves. Still, I guess it was good that they distracted the Sassanid Persian empire long enough to let the Romans focus on their other problems for a while.
@@Nonamearisto Not entirely Attila attacked the Sassanid Empire too but the White Huns were definitely their greater problem

Still, imagine Unbiased take on Khavad but from Persian perspective.
He could be a Chad who singlehandedly escape from Fortress of Oblivion...twice, though he got into debt from asking Hephtalite for help (then again, he was desperate).
Just want to appreciate how dovah makes a ridiculously biased historical account for entertainment, while also taking into account really minute details. According to sources of the battle, the Gothic cavalry at the Battle of Adrianople “descended like a thunderbolt,” and in the video, Gothic cavalry reveals themselves with a flash of lightning. Thank you dovah, very cool! en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Adrianople
Yeah. Dovah actually does his historical research (I mean, yes the series is a parody). However, I actually go back and see the info he mentions and it's true. So for that, I applaud him.

Can't help but feel bad for Valens. He tried to be a good emperor, tried to live up to his brother, and tried to be kind only for him to fail and have his attempts to be good to the Goths be turned against him.
Shouldn’t have marched his men eight hours before ordering a fight. They should’ve set up camp for a few hours at least to give his Nephew time to aid in the battle, but more importantly would have given his men rest before battle (and a small temporary fortress).
@@LordWyatt he should've learned from Florianus
This is why you should never appease the G*rms
Yes he is remembered for Adrianople (and it was a screw up of massive proportions, true) but he was a good Emperor other than that. His reforms were good, his infrastructure projects like the aqueduct of Valens were very helpful and he actually was a very good commander.

Are the gone?
Okay, cool.
In all seriousness the inaccuracies work pretty well. Dovah, unlike all of the Roman historians, blamed the barbarians themselves for what happened at Adrianople, rather than the terrible treatment they received and the corruption of the local military commanders.
It removes the nuance and paints it into a piece of pro-roman propaganda that absolves them of any and all wrongdoing.
But that’s the point lmao
Great series!
Check out the podcasts: History of Rome by Mike Duncan and History of Byzantium by Robin Pierson
As a history nerd I dread the day that this series ends, with the last emperor abandoned by the supposedly civilized Germanic people of the west and dies alone fighting like a god in Constantinople against the Turks.
Dovah says he won't touch anything even remotely close to Islam with a teen foot pole, with good reason, so no worries. The series wll probably end at Belisarius.
@@TheBayzent
We need Charlemagne tho
I dunno about the rest of the latin countries but here in Italy and in Greece( i know it's not a latin country, don't flame me), the Fall of Constantinople is seen as something second only to if not on par with the Fall of Rome.
@@TheBayzent Why won't he touch islam?
@@sebastian3217 Despite some Muslims saying they are willing to see their fellow Muslims being demonized for comedy reasons, Dovah is afraid that some woke person will feel insulted for them and report him, possibly causing the end of his channel.
The irony is that ‘Visigoths’ means ‘Noble Goths’ and they were already heavily romanized by the time they migrated into Roman territory. They were among the few considered ‘virtuous barbarians’. They were largely disarmed when they migrated and this exposed them to great and terrible abuses by the Romans, who went back on their word and enslaved many of them. Alaric’s rebellion would come only after many years of service to Rome and after the Romans’ abuses of the Visigoths had become too dire. Even when he sacked Rome itself, the city was largely left intact. There’s a reason we say ‘vandalism’ and not ‘gothism’, even though the Goths had sacked Rome decades before.
Since his people were heavily Christian, Alaric spared the churches and anyone that sought refuge within the churches. Everything else was fair game, and part of the reason why Rome's population of 1 million eventually fell to its population of 20k in the Medieval era.
Visigoths was “West Goths”
Pronounced Wīsigot(h)s
Ostrogoths was “East Goths”
Pronounced Ostrōgot(h)s
@@v4enthusiast541 you do realize Rome’s population declined due to the Gothic Wars of the 530s, as with a Roman reconquest, subsequent constant sieges caused the population to drop from 200k to 10k as people fled to the countryside, starved, or stayed as a churchgoer.

One thing that has me curious, is how Stilicho will be portrayed. Being half Vandal, will he be portrayed as other half barbarians have been, or will he be portrayed as half chad-half barbarian, or full chad? He did hold the Western Empire together for 13 years almost single handedly after Theodosius died. That'll be interesting to see.
Mayby him being half vandal, is a Lie some pleb made op so Honorius would kill him. 😭
He's a Chad. Chads are always the exception. Hannibal was a Chad (gods buffed his stats) so I assume Stilicho, Alaric, and Attila will all be Chads, too.
Well, we did see Alaric in the end and he is shown as Gothic.
Last time I was this early, Julius Caesar still felt bad about not having accomplished anything
As did Titus. Wasted a day.
…or so the Greekoid revisionists would have you believe.

It's been 5 minutes since the Empire became Christian and I already can't follow the byzantine mess of ecclesiastical conflict
damn easterners.
You think THIS is bad? Oh boy, wait another century or so and it’ll really get messy.
My smooth brain committed the most ingratiating act of supplication that part of the episode. "Wait, the gay Constantinian was surrounded by disloyal NICENES? I thought the Empire was Nicene? Was it just an inter-Nicene feud? Was the other emperor kind of Arian or something? God in Heaven..."
There’s a reason confusing/hard to follow laws & proceedings are called “Byzantine”
Blame that on Greek culture. The Greeks all had their own theories about everything and rarely accepted a single rule about something. It came from Greece historically not being one unified country with one government, but many competing city-states. It never really wore off for a long time. Plus, 4 of the 5 ancient important centers of Christianity were in the East: Jerusalem, Constantinople, Antioch, and Alexandria. Of those, only Jerusalem has been taken back by the West, and even then, only by the Jews, to much controversy. The West only had Rome as a center of religious authority, and Rome had a tradition of vesting legitimate authority in one governing body, not dividing it between many. Even today, the Orthodox Communion has no true head, only a "first among equals" with the ecumenical patriarch of Constantinople being the closest thing to its head, and he has pretty much no power, thanks to losing the empire to the Turks.
26:51 Valentinian gotten so angry, that he made the chad Palatini Guards shake in fear.

I feel bad for Valens. He tried.
Don't, because of his pride he doomed the already weakened Balkans to become an endless bloodbath for a whole century.
IKR, Him and Claudius I were probs the only GOOD Wojack Emperors
His death is more painful than Aurelian, even though the latter was literally the best Roman emperor whereas Valens was stupid.
By this I mean that, Aurelian's death was inevitable, we knew that the preatorians were evil, and Dovah had a build-up to them killing Aurelian. Besides the empire would recover after Aurelian.
Valens on the other hand. His decision to attack is unexpected, the entire time you're thinking "Please turn back, it's not too late to turn back", and as you realize that the point of no return is reached, you realize how futile it all is, and you cry. Not to mention that rome would never recover after the Huns.
He has made two mistakes the first one without waiting for reinforcements and second to reject to flee the battlefield.

My school had lots of Goths too but unfortunately we had no savage emperor to put them in their place.
This is almost a filler episode, but necessary to explain how things fell apart. Even the battle of Adrianople wasn't the real beginning of the end; Rome had suffered far worse defeats before, and if you will remember, the defeat at Adrianople was suffered by the Eastern Empire, the half which would survive until 1453. If anything, Adrianople is the last major defeat for the empire at the hands of the Goths, apart from the Visigothic sack of Rome. The Vandals are another story, but their end will come at the hands of Justinian and Belisarius, and be accomplished quickly and cleanly. Just about the only thing easily done by the 500s which really helped the empire, in fact.
The most recent one is infuriating, legions fighting other legions rather than defending the empire, leading to the sack of Rome
Adrianopel was an absoloute disaster and played a major role in the fall of the West.
@@davidcirovic8620 It was a defeat for the EASTERN armies, the Goths were brought back under control in a few years, and the Roman Empire in the east recovered. It wasn't the disaster it's played up as. It was a sign of weakness, not its cause.

Bro if that blood vessel didn't burst, that man would go and conquer all of Germania
I can't wait when we see him do Emperor Majorian, the last great emperor of the late "western Roman empire", he was considered by many to have had the best shot at saving the western empire from fully collapsing due to instability, weak leadership, civil wars and barbarian conquests like it did decades later if he had not been betrayed and killed by his subordinates (like so many emperors before him, curse you Ricimer..) or atleast kept it going for atleast a few extra decades longer perhaps well into the early 500s AD. Majorian had recovered much of the lost territory of the declining western Roman empire up to that point that was occupied by barbarian settlers and or ruled over the romans in these places as conquerors, he made many of them become vassals once again to Rome or act as client states to ideally later be reintegrated back into the imperial fold. (unfortunately that would never be..)

I binged watched the entire unbiased history series in one night. Absolutely great work, man. And it is hilarious. Can't wait for the rest of it.
I absolutely love the tension and slow build-up for the huns. Hollywood could learn a thing or two from you.
This is basically the crisis of the 3rd century if there was no pretorian guard
Yup.
Apologies to the Romans, we the Han Empire crossbowed the Huns until they ran away, and we couldn't finish the job.
If that was the same group as the Huns, it was only a small fraction of it. The Huns merged with other steppe tribes as they moved West, and turned some Germanic tribes into vassals. If China took them on, it was on easy mode, and the dying Western Empire, with help from some allied tribes (mostly the Visigoths) beat them on insane difficulty mode. Of course, China fell to the Mongols, but Poland and Hungary resisted after some initial losses. Puts it into perspective. Once Hungary equipped some Western European-style knights and built some stone castles, the Mongols were stopped dead in the tracks.
The Pope shoo'd them away and Attila got a nosebleed, died and his army got massacred by their German vassals and got basically extinct.
@@elmascapo6588 Nonsense. When the Mongols returned, they were easily stopped. Had they attacked farther west sooner, they would have encountered a forest of castles and armies of knights. We know that knights work against steppe horse archers; just look at the German victory at the battle of Lechfeld over the Magyars. It would have gone down the same way.
Damn, we should have aided each other
@Pecu Alex The Xiongu "empire" was still only able to field a fraction of what it could deploy against the Romans. Remember, the Huns by that time had at least half a dozen major groups of Germanic people under their rule, and had picked up more strength heading west before encountering even a single Germanic barbarian. I don't mean to say that they were weak when they hit China, just that they weren't AS powerful as when they hit Rome.
Second, Rome had centuries of experience fighting horse archers, like the Parthians. They had learned well from their defeat at Carrhae and had gone on to defeat the horse archer based armies time and again, as most of their wars against Parthia were victories. The Romans had difficulty adapting to stirrup-equipped heavy cavalry, but they did it.
Third, distance didn't really matter too much to the Mongols; they were known for being able to cover vast distances quickly thanks to having all (or mostly) mounted armies. By the time the Mongols hit Poland and Hungary, they were also certainly more experienced than when they hit China in the early 1200s, they had Chinese siege engineers (who couldn't begin to get through European stone castles), and had numbers comparable to their other invasions. So basically, you are wrong on most accounts. Western European weapons, armor, tactics, and defensive architecture were just too much for the Mongols to handle. When Hungary adapted Western European methods of warfare, they crushed the Mongols like bugs. Deal with it.
Just found this channel and I'm beyond stoked. I know all this history already but he just makes it that much better. Amazing content.
What I like most about this series, is that he does not gloss over the Empire's later years. I myself have always been interested in Roman history, but there is so little material on this time period.

Oh ho, interesting!
So something we've all noticed by now is that Dovah takes two different tactics with Romans in their historical depictions. He either overly emphasizes their traits (making them Godlike when merely good or grand and making them the worst of the worst when, eh, they had their flaws sure) as part of some grand narrative. The other side is that he flips their historical depictions; Caligula and Nero come to mind.
He's beat my expectations here by doing the latter but twice over; Julian and Theodosius The Great. I had expected, as was the current track with Dovah, that he'd shift the perspective of his narrative such that Julian's Paganism would be depicted as weakness in the faith of the newly insurgent Christianity and that Theodosius would be depicted as a Chad as part of the firming of Christianity's place in the Empire and its narrative.
Dovah's clearly very educated on the matter too. Having brought up the fact that Julian denied Christians the ability to teach the Classics. Now in his usual way of ignoring bad actions his Chad characters take, he downplays it. However this was definitely a big deal; not being able to teach the Classics themselves or to other Christians, Julian was basically trying to lock Christianity out of the intellectual and political life of the Empire, as the Classics were the key to it. On top of the other measures he took, he really was trying to basically uproot Christianity and get rid of it... which stands as only one of his monumental failures.
Still, this is child's play. Dovah's depicted shitty Emperors as amazing before. We've seen that play. What I'm interested in seeing is how he goes about depicting someone like Theodosius as a pleb-tier Emperor. Theodosius The Great's reign was definitely troubled but, as you can see here, it's not like he'd ascend to the throne in the strongest position. Theodosius took an Empire that was basically on its last legs and managed to give it enough of a kick in the ass to see it through most of the 5th Century as Constantine had done for the Rome of the 4th Century.
Dovah clearly stated that the Christians were teaching revisionist classics in a Christian perspective. Why should Christians claim the classics when they have the Bible as their own? The classics belonged to pagan thought.
Because we use a lot of Greek thought and admired secular logic and wisdom. Using what pure rationality can reveal to better understand divine revealed truths.
Theodosius is overrated. Sure, he kept it on life support while alive, but the minute he died, it all went to shit because of his loser sons. He's the one who started the policy of just handing out land to barbarians as a way of paying them off without separating them from their leaders. This directly led to the Fall of Rome.
@@BrandonFishback He literally couldn't have done any more with what he had. No legions, no money, new emperor (uncertain homefront). He literally contested the Goths tooth and nail until they became basically his auxiliaries.
Also a man can't choose when he dies anon....
Andrei Skobtsov
Theodosius lost his only major battle with the Goths, and had to be bailed out by Gratian’s Generals. In the end he just payed them to go away. He launched a disastrous civil war that completely gutted the western Empire’s military strength, for dubious reason at that. He then ruled the whole Empire for barely nine months, before dying and leaving it to his two far to young children.
I love that Attilla foreshadowing.
Kind of feel for Valens, constantly in the background and making just a few too many mistakes proved to be fatal.
