Constantine IV and Justinian II

Показать описание

The year was 669 AD and Constantine IV was in power since the sudden death of his father in Sicily a year before. After having quelled the usurpation of Mezezius, the troops located there returned to Anatolia. The Arabs took advantage of this fact to pillage the Island again.

This channel definitely deserves to have more attention and subscribers.

Dude you rock ! Most people stop doing videos after 476 but you still keep going, on top of that the graphics and animations are very detailed and pleasing to look at and with your detailed story telling I always learn some new, truly well done . You are definitely one of my favourite underrated creators

you deserve so much more attention, your videos are so high quality and in depth while covering interesting historical niches.

Never knew the Arabs had managed to set up bases so close to the imperial capital. Great work!

I'm so glad you made the change to zoom the map out more at the beginning and the end. We can see in more detail what happened and what changed since the start of the video and it complements with your recap at the end too.

You make some of the best History videos

I know most of these battles aren’t really very well documented but I actually really liked your simple battle design for the theodosius video and Rome against atilla I hope you bring it back once we get to more documented battles

You deserve more views, very good quality content about an era that is often overlooked

As a person interested in Ummayad history and looking at the Imperial response to Arab invasion and the general reforms. This is epic. Keep it up!

Man I really love your channel. Most channels focus just in the military affairs and battles but you provide a wider picture of the events. I like that.

Everybody loves to look at the crisis of the 3rd century as the lowest point. Theses were the true bad days of the Romans. People wonder how Rome survived that crisis, look at Constantinople and Rome in the empire at this time. There were actually a lot of atemps in the western lands of userper leaders of Italia militia technically part of the Roman army tryed and of course some userpers appointed to Ravenna who revolted against the Emperor or Papal issues. Seriously bad bad times

I recommend the Peter Crawford book if anyone wants to read about Justinian II. Great video man.

Keep up the great work. This is by far some of the highest quality work on youtube.

Splendid video, which sources did you use on the naval engagements between the Romans and Umayyads in the Levant? Especially this one at 11:18
