Justin and Tiberius - Eastern Roman Empire

Показать описание

On the night of November 14th 565, the death of the childless Justinian was rapidly reported by the only one witness. The latter, a high official named Callinicus, claimed that the great emperor had designated his nephew Justin as successor; the senators backed this claim. Justin had prominent allies in the palace. With the support of the commander of the imperial guard Tiberius and the patriarch of Constantinople John Scholasticus, Justin II was acclaimed Augustus.

I like how it took over 500 years for the Romans to have another emperor named Tiberius

This is truly the calm before the storm that was the 7th Century

“I shall always be consistent and never change my ways so long as I am in my senses; but for the sake of precedent the Senate should beware of binding itself to support the acts of any man, since he might through some mischance suffer a change”
--Tiberius

Justin's wife: "I know my husband has been under a lot of stress lately, but he's not crazy at all."
Tiberius II: "Really? He has made a horse consul, ordered the army to stab the sea, burned Byzantium while playing the lyre, forced his subjects to listen to him recite endless poems, ordered to kill everyone who had the same name as him, used servants as archery targets, entered a gladiatorial fight disguised as Hercules, dressed as a woman and ordered to be called Queen. AND IF THAT WASN'T ENOUGH, HE JUST SH*T IN MY PEANUT BARREL!!!"
Justin's Wife: "We all have difficult days sometimes, you know?"

You are amazing bro, one of the best channel’s on the History of Ancient and Medieval Rome, thank you for the good content

Nearly every disaster was self-inflicted.
Avar raids because Justin was cheap, Lombards in Italy because of avars and him betraying his former allies, weakening of Italy for a senseless war against Persian, losing the Arab allies because of a senaless assassination attempt, voluntary gifts and no taxation, ...
