    Fell asleep to history of Rome...had nightmares that someone was out to get me.
  • Picturing Domition riding in front of his own triumph, smiling, with those words "finally, no longer relegated to the back", feels satisfying to me
  • @deoglemnaco7025
    Little known fact is the music at the beginning was actually played and recorded by Trajan on his guitar.

    Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword has never been stabbed to death in the middle of the night

    29:06 Firat emperor takes Rome from a city of Brick, and leaves it a city of Marble. Domitian inherited a city of Ashes, and sought to leave it a city of Concrete.

    Domitian made me think of "what if" Stannis Baratheon from Game of Thrones became King. Thank you for uploading these. I listen to them while I am running in the gym. Very interesting and very easy to pass time.

    Domitian is one of the most underrated emperors period. One of Romes best administrators.

    Trajan made it all the way to the Persians gulf?!... It was never gonna work, but The idea of having a Roman-Parthian Empire, was so insane and ambitious, that only 3 people had ever planned on doing it. Crassus, Caesar and Trajan. And I can't believe Trajan (if only for a brief moment in time) got it done.
  • I love your video's, they're so good. Thank you so much for making them.
  • @creationsxl2979

  • Loving these podcasts, Absolutely astounding how much you’ve done and I love you and this channel for it πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

    What I take away from this, in the first third, is that, with his barriers and border walls, Domitian was much more Hadrian's model than was Augustus.
  • @dougiee6589
    Titus's one mistake was not having a direct heir to continue his legacy
  • @Decimus-Magnus
    SIX MONTHS TO GET YOUR GODHOOD APPROVED? And I thought the DMV and ATF were bad! I wonder how long it took to get Joaquin Phoenix's godhood approved.
  • Hey happy new year Mike looking forward to the next video in the playlist
