Not many have the guts to call Byzantium, Rome. I like you

[henrykkeszenowicz]

I see Unbiased History of Rome inspired a generation. I like the idea and format of this series, you have my sub.

if only…

I think Manzikert was the end of strong Hellenic Society - this was part of their homeland and Greek outreach used to be so big. Too bad it fell

Eastern Rome is the true name of the state, so good job on that

This is an awesome series. Always wondered what would happen if Rome won this battle. You went above and beyond. Usually a what if is one video not 30 video series. Respect your dedication. Got my sub

Every character looks so based and chaddish. And I love it!

[InsertHandleBarHear]

Wait Andronikos didn't just straight up retreated?nice

[edvrongjm]

the fact that the seljuk army encircled the roman army and them not knowing that it was a planned retreat makes it nearly impossible for them to win at the first place. also cool video

[noahtylerpritchett]

Based for saying Rome instead of Byzantine.

[rickyyacine]

I wish Algeria was still under Byzantium rule 😢😢😢

[comrademakno]

One question so what exactly are you changing, like what causes this timeline the emperor was way more competent?

[pronoy]

I wish the map of Greece was big as Eastern Roman Empire in this video

[serdaro.]

1071 is a very big defeat of the Byzantine Empire. The beginning of the end

As awesome as this sounds there’s no way the Turkish army would have been completely destroyed lmaooo more like 1/3 would’ve escaped if not more cause horse archers made up 3/5 of the army and they’re ridiculously fast

Pashad asked to Alparslan what you think Sultan? He is answered "Where are we going to bury all these Greeks?"

[AmerKhan-bhym]

If only wishes were horses,
The result of this battle was that thr Roman Emperor was captured!! But u continue to believe whatever you like...as it is not going to change reality...
