I'm looking for documentaries about Rome. I'd like something recent, high production value and even higher historical accuracy.
Fiction is welcome though I mostly want nonfiction as my objective.
ITT: Rome in documentaries and kinos.
Pic is from some board game apparently, I'm not sure.
try youtube
You want a documentary/fictional? I think I get you...
The HBO/BBC series Rome.
Spartacus s1 for Gladiator/nudekino
I have, and I have watched a few things there. A day in the life of a Roman soldier was great.
What I am asking for, here, is specifically your opinion as someone who is interested in Roman history and wishes to share.
That's fiction. I'm primarily interested in a documentary that isn't fiction, but I'd also like to hear your opinion on fiction. I take good note of your recommendations. Thank you.
I've been reading Marcus Aurelius a lot, if anyone can supply a good doco on the Emperor, I'm game!
youtube.
historia civilis, kings and generals etc.
documentaries are basically all on youtube now and since the content creators actually give a fuck, they do research.
also, everybody loves rome, so its not some obscure topic you can only find one guys opinion on
The entire Fall of the Roman Empire series
OK, that sounds cool. Will check it out. Thank you.
>history channel
lmao. you might as well watch hbo's rome
Back that up and I will consider your opinion. Otherwise I will consider you a troll.
history channel is infamous for its shitty pop history. half the things are inaccurate or outdated.
That's an accusation. I take it very seriously. Now I would like you to provide a few examples of this so I can see that it is a fair accusation and so that I can judge for myself how bad it is. Thank you.
If really half the things are inaccurate or "outdated", whatever you may mean by that, then it won't be hard to give me a few convincing examples.
you want me to go through it error by error? jesus fuck.
how about i just point you to a decent documentary instead
I remember a good one maybe on the History Channel about Caligula's boat on Lake Nemi but I can't find it now.
>you want me to go through it error by error?
No, I didn't ask that. I asked you for a few examples. If there are as many errors as you say, it won't be hard to give me some examples. I've been very clear. You're getting upset and pretending to understand something other than what I have meant because, perhaps, you can't actually cite examples, which makes me wonder you criticised the series to begin with.
If I could point out a decent documentary, I wouldn't be asking Yea Forums for decent documentaries. Besides, I could reverse this and ask you the exact same question: why don't you cite decent documentaries instead of merely attacking someone else's suggestion without backing up your claims?
Man, you are dysfunctional as hell.
Did this thing exist???
>which makes me wonder you criticised
>wonder why
oh so youre op, i told you, youtube
heres an example
youtube.com
Thank you, I will check it out right now.
Yeah but I think it sank immediately like the Vasa.
OK, this looks like indie kino. Thanks, user.
Oh fucking lol. History is more keks than you could make up.
Raoul McLaughlin jewtube channel
Enjoying this. I hope it's accurate as fuck.
Here you go senpai.
This sounds... biased.
OP again. This is SO GOOD. I will definitely be binging on this guy's channel.
Most impressive.
I may have stumbled on him before, because I remember a video about military strategy and it looked a lot like this, esthetically.
You made me slightly less sad tonight, based user. The gods will reward you (as I have Roman blood in me).
Horrible Histories

In what way?
>eyeless faces
Nope
Sounds like a non-neutral charge against Romans.
Oh yeah, I once saw the video mentioned at the beginning of this one. Thanks. This time I'll keep track of it.
I too was molested by eyeless people. Shit's not funny at all.
>now i'm touching your dick, your dirty boy
>no, that's my toe
>ah
for late rome/early medieval
youtube.com
>it's
Triggered.
But thanks, I now have a whole lot of material to watch and am happy for it.
Today, user hasn't been a faggot.
I don't think so, I think he treats them fairly, and he takes plenty of time explaining that all these people operated under a different set of values from the modern day.
OK, but it's a book, right?
He just read Caesar: Life of a Colossus by Adrian Goldsworthy and does a really shitty summary of it. I'm a big Dan Carlin fan, but this is his worst podcast by a wide margin.
The ones I find on YouTube have shit quality, and I can't find them on the har har bay.
