A lot of people use it for memorizing speeches, and that has historically been its original use. But it's perfect for many things - test prep, language learning - you know it.
Of all the mnemonic strategies you can learn, this is one of the best. So...
If you want to master the Roman Rooms like the ancients, dive into this video and enjoy!

Do you use the Roman Room technique? If you need the Dominic System or the Major System to add to it, check out this tutorial next: czcams.com/video/vEATw9J-ppE/video.html
Wow - very good!
Thanks for checking it out! Have you used this technique before?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM why ise index card again? I'm about to get some.
Please watch this for the explanation on index cards:

I do! Using it right now to memorize 2,000 bits of info for the 2022 USA Memory Championship. Thanks for the great video.
“Apartments with compartments” is the best name I’ve heard for it yet lol
It is indeed a grand term. Do you prefer big Memory Palaces or this smaller Roman Room variation?
"Each syllable a structure unto itself. Analyzing information this way is one of the great secrets used by memories artists to rapidly create multiple hooks and make concrete associations out of even the most conceptual and abstract material." Brilliant.
🙏
As I become more experienced at using memory palaces I often find it harder to discover new information on the internet about memory palaces but I always manage to find a new piece of knowledge, however small, in each one of your videos! Thanks for the tip about the Vaughn cube, as it will certainly make some of my large, empty room style memory palaces more efficient. Thanks for making these videos with such attention to detail
Thanks for checking this one out and leaving a comment, Lucy. That helps me continue making more.
Yes, the Vaughn Cube is interesting - I see it more as a tool, rather than a complete solution. There are issues it creates for certain kinds of information.
Ultimately, the complete solution is to keep doing as you're doing: Learning more, practicing and being part of the great Mnemonics Renaissance. More = more. :-)
Hi Lucy😇😇
Thank you Anthony, this is very helpful as I take my first baby steps with the Roman Room tech. It's always such a delight to discover a meaning behind a common phrase or word that I've heard my entire life but never really given any thought to: "...In the first place..." - magical.
Yes, it is interesting, isn't it? I wonder how many other things we say might have come out of this tradition?
Look forward to your updates on using the Roman Room!
Thanks Anthony, this was a good one!
Thanks for checking it out and for letting me know!
Just finished watching the video on The Roman room and got very excited. The video I want to make has four separate roman rooms except, instead of using pencil/pen we just fold the paper getting four separate squares (number of squares vary with the size of the paper).
Thanks for checking this out, James. I look forward to seeing the video you mention! :-)
Thanks so much!
Researching these topics gives me such nerdy-joy!
😁💙🧠
I'm so glad! Met too!
Love this. I've used this method for years. Great video 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Any best practices you can share for others encountering the technique for the first time?
My dad memorized allotto Blake poems. Blake is my favorite biblical commentor.
👍
Such an interesting concept! Thank you so much
🙏
I have been learning from you and some of the books you recommended, like Giordano Bruno and Robert Flud, but I think there is a missing piece for those with a lazy mind, a dictionary of image composition. In Solomon's memory palace book there is an index that can resemble to a dictionary. I have been trying with chatgpt and others to see if I can compose complex phrases into images but still can't crack the code, maybe you as an expert could provide an insight as to how to achieve this. I am not a native english speaker so compose complex phrases or paragraphs could be challenging some times. Thanks for all the work done here, really appreciated.
Such dictionaries exist and chat-GPT is one of them. But the reality is that people with lazy mind's aren't going to get much further by having images generated for them because the knowledge memorized has to be used.
If you want to create a complex of associations, the Magnetic Memory Method Masterclass has been helping people do this for over a decade. You can't be lazy to make it work, but it does provide the least cognitive load that I'm aware of and when I find other paths, I always update the program.
Note that it doesn't matter what language you speak. The techniques work almost precisely the same. The only differences involve small additional steps for character sets, and they are relatively easy.
Hi Anthony I finally got around to making a tribute video for you. I wanted to do that after I saw you make a tribute video to Tony Buzan I'll link the video below my comment. Plus, I will listen to your above video soon. Just finished a 4 page paper. I love voice typing. I told my father you and other people I know are not fans of voice typing but, I love it. For long assignments. Sometimes when, I voice text message I intentionally type it out so I don't forget how to type. lol
Thanks so much, John. I haven't been able to go through the whole video in detail yet, but will soon. It looks like you have many great ideas.
Voice typing is not such a bad thing. It's a matter of what suits the mission and the explorer undertaking the journey. :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM thank you glad you liked it. I got through 58% percent ish of your new video. I'm sure I'll finish watching the rest of it very soon.
🤘 Astonishing content Man!!
Thanks for your kind and encouraging words!
Hello, I love watching and listening to your channel. I'm going to order your book and like yourself, I'm a huge fan of both Yates and Bruno. I'm going to recommend an interesting novel called The Memory Cathedral by Jack Dann, it's set in rennaissance Italy and it's main protagonist is Leonardo da Vinci who uses his memory palace to tell his secret history tale. Cheers! Post Script: Merry Christmas/ Heroic and Happy Saturnalia! Jul!
Thanks so much for mentioning this book. I found it and will give it a read! :-)
I think I will use Loke, the Nordic God of mischief or pranks, as a mnemonic for Loki. I will use the EDDA to build my palace.
He is a great choice, especially considering the many weird and wonderful debates people have over the pronunciation of this word.
Ministry is awesome!
Very nice I will practice
Great! What are you memorizing lately?
Nice video!
The Medival Craft of Memory sounds really interesting i probably will buy it!
It's so good! Please do let me know if you give it a read! :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Orderd it right now :P
Awesome! :)
I really appreciate the suggestion to practice reciting out of order, to avoid giving weight only to the beginning.
👍🏻👍🏻
It’s also fun to watch peoples eyes bug-out when they hear you speak something in reverse order. 😂
Yes, equal (or near-equal) distribution of primacy and recency effect is key.
I like the term memory vault also. Someone used that term in the Memory Games movie. That name implies ere is something worth guarding.
Yes, that is a great term indeed. We've been using it in the MMM Mastermind going back to 2015. :-)
Can I know the name of that movie ???
I believe the name was just mentioned.
"Every sentence is a list" just blew my mind🤯🤯🤯
One of the most powerful of the obvious secrets. :-)
I am working hard on the technique 🙋🙋
You can do it!
Hey Anthony, I really like your videos here and Ive picked up The Victorious Mind as an audiobook recently. I love apartments with compartments/ magnetic memory palaces, tho I seem to run out of them. I only managed to recall 50 places I can use as a memory palace :/. Do you have any tips on how to stretch out this number further?
thanks in advance
Thanks for your post and for reading The Victorious Mind!
If you regularly revisit your past, I think you'll find many more Memory Palace options emerge over time. There is also the future, and as you add more, you'll find interesting ways to segment them so that one becomes two.
It's more about matching the information to the MPs than it is about the number that you have. Obviously, spatial memory is worked the more you create, so it's good to massively expand over time. But this should not be an alternative to actually using them well with the info you do need to memorize.
Is this response helpful? :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Thank your for your answer, Anthony. Im not sure what you mean by "regularly revisit your past", do you mean that literally; So actually revisiting certain locations in person/ or mentally? Even tho I didnt fully understand the first part of your answer, I understand the 2nd part, so your answer was already helpful ;)
Yes, that's exactly right. There are many exercises around how you can do this - each should be done 2-5 times per year, if not more frequently.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM Alright, thank you very much! I will use one of the techniques Dominic O Brien presented in How To Develop A Perfect Memory to do that :).
Love your stuff! I'm curious to hear your opinion. The education system doesn't work on this stuff at all, don't you think they should Implement these techniques? I think it would do wonders for all ages. Thanks!. Thanks!
I think the way to do it would be to require new teachers to learn it when they are taking teacher training. That way it would more naturally flow to the younger people. What do you think?
I definitely agree, and I also understand that teachers should be taught such techniques in order to be able to make them part of the learning process, so it's quite a slow process... But I always wonder ... It is known that these techniques are old and were used centuries ago... How is that they have been lost? Why such powerful mental methods are not so common? They should, shouldn't they?
I've just read 'Memory craft'. You covered the only doubt I had after reading it! Memory expert and Mind reader 😂😂. Great stuff as usual !
Glad you read it. What was your doubt? :-)
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I didn't understand that the stars and paths serve as a memory palace for tribes.
Oh yes, and I'm sure many more objects were also used. :-)
How we can combine between mind mapping and memory palace and i can’t denied that this method is quit good (memory palace) but can we use the same memory palace for different subjects
Thanks for your question, Mido.
Yes, this technique is great.

Hi Dr.
Suggest me a technique to learn faster
SAP computer software module.
Thanks for asking about this. Have you taken the free course on my site?
Sure thing, I will go for it.
Thanks a lot
Great - enjoy!
Like, almost 30k suscribers 💪🏼
Thanks, Samuel. Yes, we're getting there - thanks for being part of the MMM Mission!
How are things going with your memory training lately?
Hi, i hope i am not to late to ask a question here!
If you repeat (what you want to learn) for long enough, do you at one point mentaly unlink your loci-pictures from the information you wanted to learn?
Let's say for this example i want to learn all members of the current government. In the beginning i would go like:
1 (and my loci-picture linked to the number) = John Lastname
2 (and my loci-picture linked to the number) = Maria Lastname
and so on...
If i still wanted to know this information in 6 to 24 (or even more) months, would i continue repeating it like in the example above or would it go more like the following:
1 = John Lastname
2 = Maria Lastname
and so on...
If i wouldn't forget the association to the loci-pictures at one point, i feel like it would get confusing at some point, since i would've used the loci-pictures way to often (i am aware that shortterm you can use loci-pictures multiple times, as long as the topics are diverse enough). I am aware that you could increase the amount of pictures and certain techniques, but i feel like the 100 pictures i know in order to put information on should be enough.
If you repeat (what you want to learn) for long enough, do you at one point only remember the information that you wanted to learn (and the order) AND unlink it mentaly from your loci-pictures? OR do your loci pictures always stay with the information you wanted to learn after a longer time and therfor multiple repetitions? I would assume it is the former, but maybe you can elaborate on that. Thanks in advance!
The only time I have deliberately unlinked anything had to do with quite a different application of the Memory Palace / Roman Room technique.
I’m not entirely sure I understand what you’re asking, but if you feel what you’ve got should be enough, the next step is to test it.
If things don’t work out as desired, consider using something like the Magnetic Memory Method. There’s never any unlinking needed that I’m aware except in the special case I’ve alluded to.
I might talk about that case in a future book, but am not yet sure I want to get into the story behind it just yet.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM First of all, thank you for your answer!
I was asking about it happening undeliberately to make room in the roman rooms for fresh information. I hope that clarifies it.
I am doing HIFZ. How to implement memory palace technique in Hifz. Arabic language
The mother tongue should not make any difference, so please consider learning the Magnetic Memory Method and then adapting the principles to your language.
Just a small detail, maybe you already know, the pronunciation for "loci" is "lochee", just keep the double 'ee' short and you have the correct latin pronunciation. Happy new year from Italy
Thanks, kindly. I tend to go with what feels most natural and is most commonly used by native English speakers, though obviously if I were speaking Latin, that would be a different issue. And when in Rome, I would do my best to pronounce Cicero "Tchitchero."
Happy New Year to you as well! :-)
Everyone in english says low-kai. Because we are speaking English, not latin
💜💜💜💜💜
🙏
Can this be used for music theory or is there any system that has already would use this to help with music theory, please ? Thanks!
For certain aspects, absolutely. Which elements of music theory are you most concerned with?
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM I suppose the memorising of scales and circle of fifths and such. Thanks 🙏
Thanks for the follow-up.
Yes, both of those are easily done.
Where I probably wouldn’t use a Roman Room or any kind of Memory Palace is with absorbing meters. I suppose you could memorize tempo demarcations, but I find it better to feel these in performance.
Scales make more sense when mapped onto the instrument as well. So the intended use of scale theory should be considered.
@@AnthonyMetivierMMM do you have any
links or videos that might help, please?
A few suggestions:
Search my channel for "music."
And if you're serious, scale back from the topic of music and decide to master your memory for information as such.
If you ever wind up in the MMM Masterclass, there are three tutorials about music in the FAQ section. They make sense only to people who have gone through the fundamental training and have learned to see all information for its similarities, not its differences.
No matter who you learn the fundamentals from, the magic happens when the tools help the differences between this and that info disappear.
Do these two suggestions help you out?
Hey Anthony how to create memory palace for lot and lot information..
Great question - that is what we cover in the free course on my site. Have you completed it?
Excuse me sir, I want to ask for help me about the roman room technique.
Could you give me the definition of the Roman Room Technique according to authorities?🙏 Because I need it for the research.
Which authorities? The definition I share is in the video.
Hi, can I order the book, pprbk, from you directly. Havin trouble signin into Amazon and customer service refers you to the website. Sent you an e-mail. Thank u
Thanks for asking, Kandle. I'll check my email and get back to you a.s.a.p. Have you ever heard of the Roman Room technique before?
Sir, I have a question for you. Can i use 1 journey to remember all of information i've learned??
You might be able to, but please consider the information in this video first before giving it a try:
czcams.com/video/Umt-innA-u8/video.html
I know these techniques but can't follow every time.can you please start practice along 30day trainning.
So we can easily train oueslves under your guaidance.
Thank you in advance
We sometimes do things like this. Are you on my email list for announcements?
Sir
I am Preparing for govt job more than 3 yr ,still not clear ,and my age is over , age is affect our memory loss, for crack the exam I want good score what to do ,i want to study Different methods?
Age is rarely an issue if you have the right strategies and attitude.
Here's a playlist of videos that I think will help you out:
czcams.com/video/juei8P-lWnY/video.html
Please let me know if you have any questions about the approaches covered in those videos.
I am from Bangladesh. How can I learn it?
Great that you're here.
Just follow the instructions. :-)
First half of the video is not as relevant. YOu need much more patience to get the hints required but anyway, it is free.. Second half is brilliant so worth it ...
Also I must add that I have not started learning still so may be my opinion will be different once I get to the core work with him. Every minute spent on the internet seems so valuable that I ended up being impatient. He is definitely excellent in teaching and his method seems effective.
Relevance is in the eye of the learner. It's a waste of time and energy to claim that any of this video is not relevant or to potentially discourage others. I'm glad you acknowledge this in the second post, and in the future encourage you to support this mission by not assuming you can speak for all people who might benefit from context. Content may be king, but context is god.
