When you are too good of a commander that even your own country starts to hate you.

[TheNúmenórean]

Your voice is amazing. It adds that "little extra" to the already well produced documentaries.

[ConkerVonZap]

He was great indeed, but calling him the last great Roman general seems unfair to Heraclius and many other heroes.

An excellent example of why if your girl says your best friend is suspicious you need to tell her to shut up.

Justinian: “Belisarius, go and reconquer the west!”

Belisarius: [starts reconquering the west]

Justinian: “You’re fired.”

It’s pretty amazing how close the Eastern Roman Empire came to putting the original Empire back on the map in almost its entirety.

It's always Jealousy that brings a man down.

He could have kept the glory of Rome going another 1000 years.

What he felt entering the gates of Rome must be the kind of feeling no other man had the chance of ever dreaming of

Edit: Youtube commentors turned this section into Chernobyl. Reading them is unadviced. Unless you enjoy extremist opinions, i mean.

[gioilcreatore]

Most underrated general in history, its insane that so many people dont even know who he was. I put him in the best 10 commanders in history for sure.
His victories against Vandals and Goths are insane, with less than 20k men.

[jibran]

One of the generals that no one can hate.

[Jeulz]

So he could have retake Italy for the Roman’s but the emperor was jealous of his wins? How idiotic is this ?

[brokenbridge]

Mad respect for this guy and what he did in life

[goncalonunes]

His life could make a great drama series

[notoriousbigmoai]

You should make a video about Stilicho. He is the Western Roman equivalent of Belisarius.

[lucianoosorio]

“Cause all I hear is threats from a brute with no discipline, and I’m ruling over you like a boot full of my citizens!” Julius Caesar

[taterkaze]

"suspicion and envy" - and that's how the empire fell.

[henry]

Certainly! If only his loyalty was not taken for granted…

[skirk]

If only his emperor were as loyal in return

[andreslinares]

Heraclius, Basil I and II: Are we a joke to you?
