I finished the show.

9/10.
My only real complaint is that whole Jew prince plot. I understand they wanted to set up the 20k gold plot but did they really have to spend so much time on the slave and his brother?

>y-you too

that part with the whistle was fan-fic tho. The vast majority of them have been found in camps, not battle sites. So they probably used them for music and/or drilling but not fighting.

>not reading actual historians but a fucking wiki warrior with a mic

the theme of Rome was that women are the cause of all problems.

Gee and I though the theme was that the system built to govern a city state cracked after imperial extension coinciding with a massive cash flow to the capital and the creation of warrior kings like Pompey or Ceasar.

But It didn't cut that deep. The story revolved around the characters and less about Rome itself.

Nope.

Julius Ceasar would have continued to lead Rome to a golden age but some jealous saggy thot conspired to kill him.

Read my post again. I never implied that he wouldn't.
Pre-modern societies are governed by people. That's part of the problem.

one of the most based emperors

>Having therefore advised his brother, his nephew, and his friends one by one to look out each for his own safety as best they could, he embraced and kissed them all and sent them off. Then going to a retired place he wrote two notes, one of consolation to his sister, and one to Nero's widow Messalina, whom he had intended to marry, commending to her his corpse and his memory. Then he burned all his letters, to prevent them from bringing danger or harm to anyone at the hands of the victor. He also distributed what money he had with him among his servants.

>When he had thus made his preparations and was now resolved upon death, learning from a disturbance which meantime arose that those who were beginning to depart and leave the camp were being seized and detained as deserters, he said 'Let us add this one more night to our life" (these were his very words), and he forbade the offering of violence to anyone. Leaving the door of his bedroom open until a late hour, he gave the privilege of speaking with him to all who wished to come in. After that, quenching his thirst with a draught of cold water, he caught up two daggers, and having tried the point of both of them, put one under his pillow. Then closing the doors, he slept very soundly. When he at last woke up at about daylight, he stabbed himself with a single stroke under the left breast; and now concealing the wound, and now showing it to those who rushed in at his first groan, he breathed his last and was hastily buried (for such were his orders) in the thirty-eighth year of his age and on the ninety-fifth day of his reign.

He's intentionally dumbing it down for the masses of dumb people, in a misguided yet admirable attempt to make them less dumb. Don't be so judgmental, he's doing a net good, probably.

Are there any IRL historians with podcasts?

Yes, quite a few.
barrystrauss.com/podcast/ (decent, but too entry level for me)
bbc.co.uk/programmes/b006qykl/episodes/player (the best there is, filled with amazing scholar and the regime is also tight so they have to be precise)

What's his name user?

>muh wiki
Or you do both and more.
Stop being a fag.

>defending Carlin

>Not listening to Carlin's podcasts and then reading into some of the interesting sources and books he cites as a way to dive deeper into the subjects he covers.
Being a contrairain faggot doesn't make you seem intelligent, user.

He can't know which books are relevant, he lacks the education to do so. If you wanna something noob-friendly with the possibility to dive deeper I recommend the Cambridge Ancient History handbooks.

Constantinople was an utter shell of its former glory after 1204. Most of the city burned down by its own defenders, population a fraction of what it was, all icons and jewelry melted and given to the crusaders as tribute. It may have existed in name, but it really existed as a wasteland for the next 200 years.

Plus 1204 feels worse because it was "fellow Christians" who did it. Never trust Catholics.

this post made me as wet as october

He never even mentions anything about being a historian and constantly reminds the listener that he isn't an expert in any subject he's talking about, he gives people who are unknowledgable about the subject a brief introduction. Jesus christ user take this fat black stick out of your ass

they look cool as fuck. don't let modern degens ruin it.

>"You know, Brutus my son, with great Consulship comes great Imperium. Gaius Marius once called it “Rome’s Burden." Myself, I just call it as I see it: the responsibility of the civitas to discipline the barbarians.”
>Gaius Julius Caesar looks directly at the Plebeian Council.
>"The Belgae, the Arverni, the Helvetii...It's our responsibility to civilize them. And if we can't? Then they shall hang from the crucifix. The Day of the Cross is near, Brutus. We'll have every Gaul in the provincia dead or in chains in 10 years, and may Mars have me lynched in the senate this very Ides if I'm wrong. Vivat crescat floreat, Populares."

I recognize this statue

Name one actual dig of a roman field battle site aside from the one found in Harzhorn

The warrior depicted isn't from Gaul. It's a Greek depiction of a wounded Galatian warrior from Anatolia.
