I love that you ground each episode in the context of the time. It gives it so much more meaning! I just love this channel!

"Emprise" 05:16 . What a pleasure to hear this word being used in English. The first time I've ever heard it used in EN, though I do use it and hear it when I speak French. It means an adventure or a chivalric action in English and French, but in FR it also means a grip (perhaps prise (open) descends from this Gallic borrowing). Thank you for making my day. You surprised me here. I deem you an erudite man.

This is the finest channel by far. I have been obsessed with Rome for almost 50 years, first trip was in 1984 and been as often as I can ( about 16 times) up to 2022. Classics Degree, member of British School of Rome previously blah blah. But there is ALWAYS something new to discover. I love the minutiae and obscure details that Darius covers which is what I want. My dream is to go into the Cloaca Maxima how weird is that :). Rome has become obscenely expensive to stay now which is frustrating as hell

[rodneybiltman]

Republic Rome is something I really want to dive into and this is perfect! Thank you!

[deanfawcett]

I am so happy that I found this channel!

[gayprepperz]

New to this channel, and absolutely enthralled with it. A life long student of western history, which naturally includes the history of Rome, you're work brings to life the people, their culture, and their history in a way that I could only dream of. Thank you for your efforts to bring to life predecessors of European culture in such a way that one can even envision (quite literally) the cities and landmarks in a way that literally brings it to life.. I can imagine myself standing in the Forum, or the Coliseum, and elsewhere. Times are hard right now in my country, but as they improve I will be able o contribute financially in my own humble way, so you can continue your wonderful work, and bring history to life for all of us. With much gratitude and enthusiasm for your your work ~ thank you.

Sensational video Darius. Thank you for sharing.

[fredyair]

Extraordinary video Darius, is so interesting to see how war and conquest was intertwined with the grow of the Republic that ultimately led to the Empire.

I FUCKING LOVE ANCIENT ROME.... THEY WERE SO BASED AND POWERFUL, FULL OF MACHO MEN AND WISE SCHOLARS, LEGENDARY ARCHITECTS, MILITARY GENIUSES

[richardglady]

Neat video. Wonderful visuals. Thank you!

[hugodesrosiers-plaisance]

Great material, Darius. Thanks for sharing!
I had no idea the tomb of the Scipios was open for visits. That is amazing. Is Scipio Africanus buried there?

[BodyTrust]

Hey Darius, can you cover the series of plebian secessions in the early Republic, in which the toilers picked up everything and moved to a different spot, forcing the patricians to come to terms? I want to write a screenplay on the first one.

[TWOCOWS]

Thank you Darius. As usual, so eeducational. Do you mind spelling the name of the old wall by the train station in Rome?

[johkkarkalis]

Eternally fascinating! like the city itself.
Evidently our founding fathers found it so, too.
Our coinage and our currency hint at this.
Pick a period: The empire? The republic? The regal period?
My wish?
Would that we had more records on the regal period, but the sack of Rome in ca. 390C.E. more than likely destroyed all data on the period of the kings; nevertheless, I would like to believe that Numa, Ancus Marcius, the Tarquins were flesh and blood rulers.
However, if I had my choice I would choose either repblican Rome or the empire of the Antonines of the 2nd century C.E. to spend a long vacation.
Thanks! so much for your download.

Just in time! Needed some good Roman Republican history before bed.

[fieracarmen]

Atâta istorie este în Italia din cele mai vechi timpuri și până la apariția Imperiului Roman!Au fost de exemplu etrusci o civilizație fascinantă, până ce Roma ia distrus pe etrusci și au cucerit Italia și multe alte teritorii.

[misaelfraga]

It may not have been a city of marble just yet (soon to be) but it more than made up for it with all the proliferate personalities that would rise within this time period.

[Bogbastardo]

We Republicans love our bold history. We built Rome and we built America. We don’t need an emperor.

[RussellFineArt]

It’s: republic of Rome, not Republican. Rome never used the term Republican nor was it Republican. Rome was an autocracy with a senate, and no formal constitution. The Roman emperor could, and often did, over ruled the senate, which again, is not a real republic.

[donerskine]

You give dates pre-BCE as if they are post-BCE dates. Sloppy and confusing.
