I love all of Rome so much. But Gaius Julius Caesar and Gaius Octavius Augustus Caesar, are my favorite Romans. They still inspire me so so much, it's incredible!
I really love Julius and Augustus as if they are my friends.❤
On the 30th of August I will travel to Rome again, for the 6th time. I can never get enough of Rome, the fascination and LOVE are endless. I consider Rome as my second home.🏛❤

Must be fascinating to go on the footsteps of one of the Empire's most consequential reformers.

Good cinemaphotography and use of computer models to help tell the story and provide context. 5 stars.

Ah to see the monuments in their painted glory! I guess I will use my imagination. Thank you as always for a great visit.

Top class, magnificent episode. Thanks Darius, and all the best.

It says so much about the social mindset of Rome that an Emperor could just raze a section of a slum, build marbled forums and temples with a statue of himself, and put a tuft wall to protect his "gift" from the rest of the slums, showing they knew very well how prone those poor areas were to burning down.
Fascinating, and also frankly disturbing by our modern perspective.

He is credited with having inaugurated the “Pax Romana, ” understood to be the only 200-year period in all of history in which there was no major war

It is amazing to me that Julius Caesar saw the talent in his great nephew and sought to nurture it, and had the foresight to name Octavian his heir rather than Antony, Brutus or anyone else. Didn’t Caesar also send Agrippa with Greece along with Octavian? A heck of a duo…

My understanding is that the House of Augustus on the Palatine is a misnoma. Mary Beard latest book confirms this. I was a bit gutted - what are your thoughts Darius would appreciate your outlook.

Thank you so much for these pills of history and archeology too

[deanodog]

Ancient Rome mustve been heaven and hell all at once !

[andyroo]

It seems Augustus had a lot of charisma and good looks go equal that.

[fredmidtgaard]

Oh, what is a "shorthand"? Was it cut?

[garyi.]

What chance was there for Augustus to successfully return Rome to a Republic? Whether it was day 2 or any day to the end of his rule?
And that is assuming he was behind such an effort. I am not saying he ever was, but if he had felt that Caesar was wrong to make himself emperor, could Augustus have changed that? Or had it become the only way for Rome to remain as one entity?

[rhodaseptilici]

You did not even mention Agrippa in connection to Philippi he was crucial to that victory....😔

[rhodaseptilici]

Again nothing in Agrippa regarding Actium

[rhodaseptilici]

Very poor very superficial what about the

[amgymrat]

Was Augustus unable to have children of his own? Sorry if this sounds dumb
