How the Roman Government Worked 

"How the Roman Government worked" *gets compared to a discord server within 25 seconds*

"Jhulios Sheezur, or I V L I V S * C A E S A R..." Finally, someone at least tries

I like it when people pronounce Classical Latin correctly. Good job :)

KhAnubis just wants to flex his Latin lol

Congrats on the 100k subs! Awesome to see.

The real title should be how the roman government worked, didn't work, changed, worked, didn't work, changed, Etc.

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers!

"How the Roman government worked." Seriously though, it's amazing it did XD

That cameo of the discord server is pretty hilarious, almost makes me wish I were still consul. Either way very glad to see it!

A Turtle approved the Roman government system

If you can I'd love to see on Aztec government explain. The new world cultures often get so ignored.

I always thought your name was a play on the word Cannabis

4:49 What a genius transition. I genuinely did not see that coming Also this was a really good refresher for me on how Rome operated cuz I haven't actually looked into it in so long

The Patrician and Plebeian classes were virtually irrelevant by 200 BCE. The ranks on the Comitia Centuriata eventually became the basis for societal structure, as your rank in that determined your ability to influence policy. The Equestrian Class eventually replaced the Patricians in terms of dominance, with the vast majority of the already small Patrician families fading into obscurity(the Iulii, for example, could barely afford their own insula).

2:16 Sulla actually expanded number of senators from about 300 before civil war to as many as 600. (Not 900)

This channel is so underrated you should get more subscribers

The Roman empire was limited by how far it's legions could march.The Mongolian Empire was limited by how far it's cavalry could ride.

It really bothers me that the borders aren't drawn properly. There are so many small enclaves on the map which didn't exist in reality. That's a bit nitpicky but whatever that's what I live for.

Phenomenal video. This helped me a lot with school. thank you!

Congratulations on 100k subscribers!

*Squints at the tiny asterix in the corner* oh okay so he does know there were wealthy independent women in Rome just not many of them so he decided to put it into writing in the corner of his video so as not to disrupt his narrative flow because adding in another hint of truth is too hard for him. Or it would make the video 8 seconds longer?

thanks for making this video, I always wanted to know this ..... please make a video on how the Mauryan empire's government worked

1:10 more like: "...many 'modern western' historian call it Byzantine Empire...."

I’d love to see you explain how Juche works

The Roman Empire at its maximum height was larger than is shown in the map, it covered a bigger area of the Middle East and had a few more territories in Northern Europe

Congrats on 100k Khanubis! 🎉🎉🎉

0:48 ....he seems to lapse into "Millenial-ese"... It's not his Latin that I'm criticizing, it's his English (or, as the younger crowd says; "itná'izz lâ'indadaimkrüddisaizen, i'tsizZínglish"

I am surprized that the ending wasnt a segway to Curiosity Stream

Tribune Aquila approves of your video.

Explaining Rome is the perfect way to celebrate reaching 100K. Congrats

I'm perfectly aware there are many schools of Latin pronunciation, but literally nowhere in Europe would one be taught that every C is read as K. This "Greek" approach is simply misguided. The pronunciation of C always depends on the vowels following it. If C was always a K, all the Romance languages would sound entirely different today.

Congrats on 100k!

Good video, but it does contain a significant factual error concerning Patricians and Plebeians. You state that the Patricians were the rich in Roman society and the Plebeians were everyone else. That was simply not true. The Patricians were the aristocrats of Roman society, but that did not mean Plebeians could not achieve glory or wealth. In fact, many of the wealthiest and most prominent Romans in the late Republic were Plebeian. These included: (1) Marius, who was elected Counsel a record 7 times; (2) Magnus Pompey, member of the 1st Triumvirate and one of Rome's greatest Generals; (3) Crassus, another member of the 1st Triumvirate and Richest man in Rome; (4) Cato, the leader of the Conservative faction; and (5) Cicero, famous statesman. As for the Patricians, by the time of the late Republic many of them shared the fate that a lot of British aristocrats found themselves in during the Victorian era. They had a noble name, but were in debt and trying to arrange marriages with wealthy commoners.

Really like the video. Thanks for explaining the Roman Empire

Italy was neither a Senatorial or Imperial Province. It was the metropole.

RU-vid is getting unbearable: although I am a subscriber, this video did not show up in my feed. Is khanubis in any other platform like nebula?

Can you talk about the Imperial Indian Styles of Governance like those of the Mauryan, Gupta, Chola, Vijayanagara, Mughal empires? They were very different to how things worked in places like Rome, Europe, China or Persia. They were less centralised than the Chinese and Persian styles but more efficient, centralised and powerful than the Medieval European style, a good balance between centralisation and localization with a single emperor with his provincial governors but multiple principalities too.

whoop whoop the KhAnubian discord server. The best discord server dedicated to this channel. And just before the internal election of our senate. How fitting

“... and I’m so good I can explain it in 8 minutes”

By the late Republic and the Empire the plebian/patrician distinction was not as important anymore, and wealthy/famous plebs could become senators (Cato and his family were plebian, for example)

@6:51 Why didn't the Roman Empire have the Internet?

Patrician and plebeian status stopped mattering around the Late Republic and Imperial era though, don't forget that. Only thing that mattered at that point was wealth.

Pretty bad video. 95% of it is not about how the Roman government worked. Interesting stuff but most of it unrelated to the theme.

1:32 There were wealthier plebs than the patricians. Division between them was not derived from their wealth. But yes most of the patricians were wealthier than the most of the plebs.

Congrats on 100k stud!

0:26 That cameo of the elders of the server lol

*Likes before watching the video*

Sounds like reverse Star wars :D

Great job on 100k!

3:46 Well being in a position that's absolute and "hereditary" (It wasn't for the most part) doesn't automatically make you a king. The same way elective monarchies aren't republics.

This dosent explain anything, i will Monarchy: Concilio centuriati -> is the assemly of all patrician, it hold interregnum power after romolus death, they confer the power to a new rex which is absolute autority both political amd religious. This is typical of the tribal society. When the rex die the power of (inter)-regnum return to the assembly for a new declaration. The only power of the assembly is elect and select a new rex Republic: It's now the senate that elect consuls which are basically 2 rex, a lot of executive functions tought get split onto inferior magistrate. Such censor etc (not praetor which are direct helpers of consul, also at beginning the two consul were called praetor). Again the consul ARE NOT forced to follow the senate direction tought the senate gave a political direction it was due political equilibrium that senate and consul worked yet consul could litteraly do wtf they want. In 286 b.c the lex hortensia made mandatori for any senatuscinsultum ( the lew of senate) to not be veto by plebs in their assembly ''concilio della plebe''. It also merge a popular assemly into the abive exept the centuriata which remained also dueing principate and dominatus phase. This is how the repubblic worked which the exeption of silla period. Dictator could only be nominate by consuls and appointed be the senate. Most legislative production during late republic was onto praetors which ARE NOT judges, they were magistrate which have the power to create legislation before the private judge make a decision if there a flaw or now law to cover the questions. Principate: As above with the difference that the princeps was above consuls. And its power was perpetual. Also the territory is split into inperator provence and senatorial provence. After 2 century it became apparent that it is require a concentration of power to make stuff run due all the crap happening around. Dominatus: It should probable start with adrians the imperator is absolute and the praetors and other lawman became palace burocrats. Senatus is now officialy only consultive.

I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that the video had 476 likes...

Great video, detailed and comprehensive.

I thought we only had thousands of senators in Star wars

I've already got my Bachelor degree in history, and ths gonna help me alot for my Master degree,thanks

hey khabis this is good it helping me in school

we just watched this in social studies 😭 i had to look up the video lol

Yoo - congrats on subs*100K!

watched this is school This is one of your worst videos, I wish we watched atleast ANY other than this

the patricians and the senatorial class are not exactly the same thing. senator was required to make a minimum income from land ( business didn't count, as it was frowned upon, but a lot of 'em did it anyway) the patricians descended from the oldest families in rome and you just couldn't buy your way in, except by finding a patrician impoverished enough to marry a part if his family to yours, and then the offspring may be patrician, but snickered at by their peers for generations. there were certain offices only plebs could hold, like tribune

The roman govt has influenced today govt of Europe usa

Rome was not politically important Nor the capital of the empire even before the “fall of Rome”. The eastern provinces always spoke Greek and not Latin. But good on you for at least acknowledging the Roman Empire continued on in the east.

Absolutely amazing !!

So basically the Roman government had five assemblies and 600 people, two people were in charge but if war happened then there will another one. The in charge had power who can be emperor it's backwards in English. Sponcer . The Roman empire wasn't one it's 2 sides and a dozen more afterwards and military broke it down

Congrats to a 100k ur channel is great and very educational

BIBLE prophesies is true . Rome is iron in Daniel chapter, still in 2024 mixed with clay ( other empires)..Rome put Palestine in Israel. Now global empire working ahead ... Must read Revelation chapter prophesies of the end times also.

Congratulations on 100,000 subscribers!

finally an american that can pronouce the name 'Caesar' Kizer correctly

roma kings are RNTATST: Romulus, Numa, Tullus, Ancus, Tarquin the elder, Servius and Targuin the rapist

I am working about the roman empire in school and i learned morr of this video

The Mongolian empire was 90 % empty so a bunch of empty land is kind of easy to rule whereas Rome was full of cities and vassal states all packed into the Mediterranean region and beyond even. Rome was indeed vast when you look at it from that point of view

Congrats on 100k!

Hey, if you're going to count millions of square miles of uninhabited steppe, mare nostrum should count.

Epic Consul momento

The Roman kingdom hated kings, it's very similar to France during the French revolution.

Very informative

Congrats on 100k

This doesn't really go into any detail on the government at all, just a rough overview of the Roman Empire and some various titles. Could get any of this information from skimming the summary section and first few paragraphs of the Roman Empire wikipedia article.

This is the information I wanted, but you're too fast to be understood.

Hell yeah now we got business

the add with the 100 subs ruined the vid

I have always thought that the best governmental system ever achieved was the Roman Republic

1:37 There were actually 4 classes of Romans Patricians were the top super rich ones Equites were rich and were descendants of famous ancient cavalry men but still lower then Patricians Plebians, everyone else And... slaves

very good video im so thankfull !

Julius Kaiser. The Latino raised in Germany.

First time watching you and I already subscribed.

Hey bud! Congratss for 100k subs!

First among equals. The Equaelest of all equals.

Are we watching a Star Wars documentary 😂

3:58 "You dropped this, Rex."

24th Good job on 100k subs

sorry but as an italian i can say this have some errors but is okay.

Thanks for the video, greetings from Oregon (Congrats on 100,000 Your one of my favorite RU-vidrs)!

me watching this 10 minutes before the test

One minor correction. There were poor Patricians and rich Plebeians.

I saw so many errors of fact & interpretation in the first 2 minutes that I gave up. Examples: the map showed the Roman kingdom as much too large: the Roman Senate already had 300 members during the period of kings; and the patrician/plebeian dichotomy was obsolete by the end of the Republic, when "nobiles" could have either patrician or plebeian ancestry.

Can you do more of these history videos?

Also gg on 100K

Why is everyone doing Roman stuff right now?

Thank you for this
