My favourite part about all this is the fact that two different Brutus', 500 years apart, ended both the the Kingdom and the Republic by killing the monarch/tyrant

This is one of my favorite channels! Whether it's Matt, Jack or any other host. It's just a great place to come to relax, be informed, and entertained. Keep up the amazing work!

Shakespeare wrote a poem called The Rape of Lucrece that tells the story of Lucretia. I saw it performed as a monologue last year and it was incredible. Definitely an underrated work by Bill.

I like how from this picture of the Roman Emperors chart at the beginning, you can tell it goes from Caesar to Charlemagne... so for the Emperors, it goes from Augustus to Michael II ( Amorian Dynasty ) who ruled from 820 - 829... so at least it'll cover more emperors than the last chart, that stopped after Maurice.

Last time I was this early the walls of Rome were still being built

No matter how much I try to remind myself that Superbus is pronounced like Superb, I can't help but call him "Super-Bus"

Romulus killed Remus because Remus violated the "Pomerium", the Sacred Border of the City, and after that Romulus said "“Sic deinde, quicumque alius transiliet moenia mea!” that means: "So will perish everyone who'll violates my wall!"

Jack, your analysis on a fan-made chart sounds just so awesome!

[christopherjenkins]

It's not at all odd that there would be two sisters known as Tarquinia. Females did not really enjoy individual identities so usually just were known by their gens name in the feminine form.

This is a perfect complementary to my current history podcast; The history of Rome!
I'm soon on the split of the empire, and the next part of this chart will be perfect for making sense of al the similarly named people trough out roman history!

"Or, one story says she was a Vestal Virgin and one day visited by a disembodied phallus that rose up out of the Earth."
Wait, wait, please tell us more about that.

I hope Historia Civilis gets a collab one of these days, especially if we're doing Roman related topics. I mean, you're both already working with squares so it won't be a hard sell

You have the best looking Pirate Flag Jack Rackam! Do a video on Pirates Timeline!

Given the mix of mythology and murky records, it's amazing we know anything at all about people who lived 2500 years ago.

This video adds a lot of, what I’d say is much needed, context to my general study of the Roman Empire. Thank you so much!

[thomasdixon]

Awesome creation, props to whoever made it

Usefulcharts is changing their charts real fast! I'm a fan of it. I also have my Asian Tree sitting in my room.

Great video. I think you should do the Paul brothers family next. That would be very interesting. Also, the bono family sounds just as interesting as the Paul brothers so I think you should give it a try.

[crystalp]

Would the gens also be similar to clans like in Scotland or Ireland as well?

the city of Rome got sacked in 390 BC and that destroyed many of its early history 😭although i do believe a lot of the Romulus and Remus story. people have been actually raised by animals like the story of Dina Sanichar, the story of the roman god mars coming down from heaven is like in the bible verse (Genesis 11:5) except god does not rape but instead looks at the sinful city of Babylon, alba longa is actually a historical place, Romulus ascending to heaven is like the story of Enoch and Elijah, in 2020 archelogies found a tomb which could be the tomb of Romulus and in 2007 they also found postholes of a ancient dwelling and they were made in about 750 BC 3 years after Rome was founded
