Constantine: "I marched with Galerius to the ruins of Babylon. "
Two Armenian nobles: We sold the cabbages with Galerius in the Persian camp.

Imagine winning so hard that moving the money you made home is harder than the win itself

[anamelikemine]

Dude just walked in the enemy camp and looked around. the absolute madlad.

[Gamleman]

Never even heard of this epic event and long forgotten tales like this one, is really nice to be told..

[egrif]

Domitius: Don't do it Diocletian. I have the high grain.

Diocletian: You underestimate my hunger.

[sychoboy]

Keep doing what you're doing, millions are starved of a legitimate education in history, and you're providing them with what they missed in school.

[husseinalsharaa]

There is a lot of history channels but no one can top history March in maps and details thank you for your fantastic history videos.

Just when I said there was nothing good to digest on YouTube...

A heavy hitter comes thru

[ctastrophe]

"But these men were no cabbage traders!"
The Roman Trojan Horse isn't as epic

[LucasDimoveo]

A Roman emperor infiltrated an enemy camp in person? That is ... brave, to say the least.

There goes my next half-hour. I wanted to edit some data in excel, but now I have to watch this. Not complaining ;)

[kontarius]

This is an exceedingly well-produced video, even by your standards. We are lucky to enjoy such content :)

[virusguy]

Galerius attacked a superior, entrenched enemy.... and whooped his enemy’s

Sun Tzu: *slow claps*

[msf]

Domitius: "It's over Diocletian I have the high gra..(remembers that Egypts is mostly low terrain)..in, oh yeah I have the high grain"

[scorchsea]

How many vassals do you want?

Sassanids: Yes

[ferrjuan]

Emperor Diocletian dedicated the remaining years of his life to growing cabbages these Roman emperors and cabbages lol. There is even a famous quote by Diocletian about his love of growing cabbages!

[yoinkhaha]

"Got any more cabbages?" "WE'RE CLOSED!!" ....LOL

[brokenbridge]

It's always wonderful to have a capable subordinate. And Diocletian had a good one in Galerius. Great video. It read like a historical epic.

What a brilliant portrayal ("as always") of a most exciting story. Re-watching it, 4 years later, it caught my full attention and easily thrilled me again. Your historical series will be of ongoing worth. Gratia plena.
