How They Did It - Growing Up Roman 

Hello

could you do "growing up samurai" at some point? or, actually, more interesting would be growing up samurai vs growing up in other classes in feudal japan. ^_^

Lol

I now right

Probably the leading cause of women dying from child birth. How many children can a woman have before she either dies or has a boy? This weird practice is still in use today.

@@bethnichols4662 I doubt you would have much of a choice lol

I laughed way to hard at this.

Sounds like a typical day in LA

So, collage?

Sounds like Flordia to me

Did you miss the part where the guy was killed for it? It wasn't always lawless.

@@Bristecom And the teen got was sentenced to death. Sounds like a pretty strict and harsh law. But it likely only applied to patricians.... Equites and plebs were somewhat up to their own devices on a lot of stuff with exception of contracts or other agreements made at the forum. Hence why there were mafia gangsters often backed by a set of patrician patrons. Oh, Italy, somethings never change.

@@jmitterii2 I'm sure it depended on the situation and didn't apply to actual "rape." Rome was the first to have a court system remember.

The weak were taken advantage of by those in power. This was not limited to one gender or the other.

Older women too

@@ethank.6602 says im not autistic

@@ethank.6602 hes lying,thats sus af

I was a really quiet kid too, to the point that many kids in my class didn’t know what my voice sounded like. The idea of being punished for being quiet is strange; my teachers usually saw me as a breath of fresh air considering how many noisy kids there were in my class.

Yeah, me too. I’m glad I’m not ancient Roman.

Ethan K. I’m Autistic and it said I’m not. Granted I am quite high-functioning, but I only got a 47%. Also, just because someone is quiet doesn’t mean they’re autistic.

IKR???

Once in a museum, the thing I enjoyed the most was a timeline of such elders complaints. First it was the books that were such a terrible thing, that children did nothing more than read. Then it was the horrible way of buying ink instead of mixing their own ink. Then it was the pens that were the cause of children being little shits, because they were so used to having things made for them, instead of preparing their own quills.... On and on until the last one that was quoting the evil thing called smartphone. I laughed so much at all that.

The "kids these days" mentality has always and will continue to exist for as long as humankind does tbh.

there was a story about Julius Caesar as a teenager where it was pretty much the "kids these days... show no respect". Sula was the dictator and he pretty much put up public hit lists against his political enemies and Caesar was on it, for being the grandson of one of Sula's opponents i think. Caesar's friends negotiated Sula to remove his name and Caesar was invited to Sula's home to show his gratitude. Instead Caesar dressed sloppily and glared at Sula. Sula honored his promise of freeing Caesar but said "he will destroy everything we wish to preserve" referring to Caesar's future of overthrowing the republic.

Necessary part of life

I went from poor to beating a rich kid. I like Rome

Kinky

In Mother Russia, slave beats you!

There’s an old saying “When in Rome do as the Romans do”.

Yeah, people gotta pay good money for that nowadays.

But is easier. When you're in a crisis all you say is: Julia. And puff! All Julia's in position of attack. Instead of Julia Martina Roberta Elena*after 5more minutes in battle*.....and finally justinia. etc. The father finished calling all his daughters names. But hey. All people were dead and the daughters were gone, with long before until he got to the 6th daughter name 😂😂

Cant ever call a kid the wrong name tho

They actually referred to each of them from the second onwards by their number. So you’d call “come here, Julia” if you wanted the oldest one. “Come here, Secunda” if you wanted the second one, and so on.

They usually called them quintulla, quadratulla etc. to tell them apart

Dam right 13 children is a bad unlucky number better have another

@Henryk Gödel Probably because they get sent out at 18 instead of in their 20's, and hardly anyone joins the army anymore.

I was definitely mad! Not from 14 to 20's but close enough let's say from 17 to 22. Weird shit happend because I don't give zero fucks back than!

People start going through puberty a lot earlier nowadays. It's a weird phenomenon that I don't recall ever finding out the true cause of. Probably better nutrition plus messed up hormones from excess estrogen, progestin, etc. For example, women started going through puberty around 14 - 16 back in the 1800's. Nowadays, women are pretty much fully grown by 16, excepting a couple of stragglers.

@@Skeloperch - it's because the meat we eat, usually female, is pumped with Estrogen to make the animal grow faster, which in turn makes those who eat the meat grow faster.

@@JRWall-hf9mq this is false, we eat mainly male meat. Female cattle is mainly used for milk production.

@@rachel_sj females have always developed quicker. I believe puberty seems earlier because our bodies have more energy due to more nutrition

When talking about the mad emperors, always remember that historical sources are not reliable ^^ Nero was not very loved when he ruled, and the thing Romans loved the most about history was to invent bad stories about the men they don't like, especially politicians. Kinda like a social network today, throw some gossips on a person, and let him justifying about things he never did XD But, they do that with history too, because history was not considered a science that had to record exact things, it is considered like a tool to use for politicians. If you add to this that Nero was one of the first emperors to persecute christians and that we see roman emperors mostly through a christian historiography, Nero was most certainly darken a lot ^^

@@krankarvolund7771 Nero also fucked up the empire quite a bit, there's absolutely no question that he wasn't a very good emperor.

@@khatack How exactly did he fucked up the Empire? ^^' According to Guy Achard and Claude Aziza, two historians of the ancient Rome, Nero was at contrary a pretty decent emperor, his campaigns were victorious, the economy was rising due to a good adminsitration and monetary policy, he even make the peace with the parthians ^^ When he died, he was so popular in the plebs that rumors of his return were heard in Rome, despite the damnatio memoriae, like a sort of Messiah (which is surely related with the rising of the christianism). Yes, he was not kind with the Senate, because he had to fight two conspiracies, but he was not a bad Emperor, just an Emperor who was not liked by the Patricians of Rome ^^ And, weirdly enough, Suetone and Tacitus, our two main sources on Nero who relate all kind of horrors about him related that 40 years later, and were Patricians ^^

@@krankarvolund7771 the first years yes... In the end..

@@KLanio-lr8yv Well, in the end, except for the quarells with the Senate and the big conspiracy against him, things continue to shine. It's after Nero's death that it became complicated with the Four Emperor's year ^^

At least could live in Rome, ya maybe as a slave but then being thrown off a cliff, being left out in the wild, or etc.

@Meba Depends, most house slaves had it pretty decent, quite like hotel staff in modern day. Even had free days, where you could go and do whatever. Obviously labour slaves had a harder time though.

Slavers: hippity hoppity this is now my property!

Sparta approves

Well...the baby didn´t die, did it?

@@meilismeili4863 id rather die than live the rest of my life as a slave

Your reaction matched your pfp lol

It wasn't always a tragic end for these poor children! There's a better outcome that didn't get mentioned (probably because it wasn't a major thing for a lot of Roman history) but oftentimes, Christians would rescue any infants that they found abandoned on the streets and raise them as their own within the faith! This pissed off a lot of the upper crusts of Rome because they saw it as allowing "unfit" children to live and supposedly drag down the Empire's gene pool or something. After Christianity was adopted by the wider empire under Constantine's rule there were laws passed that cracked down on this practice and afforded greater protection of the infants, recognizing them as human beings no matter if they were wanted or not. After this it became much more common for children to be dropped off at monasteries, or if still abandoned, rescued and then raised within a monastery. So a lot of them still got chances to live long, happy lives!

Ok Werid

Brycen Lanager Daughter of their dad 1,2,3 but yeah it kind of that.

King George VI(or any other of the George's): surprised Pikachu face

Well...they some kind of did for the sons. Quintus, Sextus, Decimus etc, are just numberings. The pool of male pronomen was really tiny, as the family mattered more than the individual. So yes, they did use numbers as names for their kids, but the family name had to be included.

If you understand Spanish or Latin, it should sound very familiar as these names like Secunda and Tretia are nouns that are of the female sense and would be exclusively given to females. This is true in modern day Spanish as it is known today. And now that I'm here, when I think about it, this new age politically correct form of non-binary gender politics among certain groups of people today would certainly not welcome the type of Spanish that I grew up with. Hundreds, thousands of books in early learning would have to be revised and, in a very idealistic way of a coming totalitarian utopia, be denied for teaching our young kids today.

That's a very common practice in CK2

Shit, ever hear of abortion?

Pfsif damn that was good

@@Pfsif well hell yeah! 🤣

@@Pfsif Kinda different though, leaving a child alone in the street without protection without anything? Basically a high chance of him living a slowly painful, hard life, probably as a slave Vastly different from what is at best a quick death

There’s a lot of academic literature surrounding this topic.

Well…most of that 50% child mortality was due to medical issues or infectious diseases (90%), not abandonment. Until about the 1900s, it was pretty standard that if you wanted 3 kids to reach adulthood, you needed to give birth to 6 and watch half die of illness (go to older cemeteries and you can see this). Vaccines stopped that, saved literal millions and somehow…we know largely hate them.

@@Itried20takennames Right, and then the senile village elder orders one of the healthy babies killed off because they thought they saw some defect in the child; that's the mind-boggling thing for me. The survival of your children is already a coin toss, why add to the odds of your whole community dying out because you discarded otherwise healthy newborns?

yeah fuck ugly babys am i right

@@Itried20takennames That’s true but that also partly explains how people are weaker nowadays. Developing diseases and in poor health in old age as opposed to the older generations that had to survive childhood without modern medicine.

Abandonment of infants probably wasn't actually all that common. When it did happen, it was most likely due to either extreme poverty and inability to take care of the kid, or the existence of some obvious deformity.

Roman kids were subjected to physical abuse for basically any reason, instilling the obedience to superiors necessary for a military life in becoming a soldier in those times. Obviously nowadays we know that physical abuse is one of the worst things you can do to a child. And these norms that we're told about in the video would probably only apply to the wealthier families, I doubt most poor Romans would recieve any education at all.

If you shrink "humanity" down to biology, then yes not much has changed, though that approach would be rather preposterous.

@Ucallit 71 Telling, that humanity for you is nothing but technology and some ominous, esoteric 'human nature'. No mention of humans as social beings, allthough that should be obvious as its most essential part. Especially living in times, where pratically nothing we wear, use or consume is produced by ourselves but in an intricate social division of labour incorporating millions of people. People are composed of other people and produced by the respective social relations. Our whole individuality is constructed only in difference to one another. 10 people on 10 lonely islands are all the same, everyone has to take care of the same basic needs, but 10 people on one not-so-lonely island and people are able to specialise, to differentiate themselves. Individuality emerges. The defining aspects of human life are created socially. If you repeatedly beat your child senseless, then you shouldnt be surprised its puberty will be overly rebellious as soon it is able to break out of this violent structure. The biological constants in this reagrd are negligible and continue to lose importance as the human 'second nature' becomes more and more socially and consciously constructed. In this context, the recourse to a cristallised human nature is simply arbitrary and unfounded.

In my late 20's I had to deal with out of towners from different parts of the States with the Hood mentality , who though they were All That. I slap a few of they senseless like my mom did to me more than a few times as a child/ young teen. The " Gangstas " found out after I made them look really stupid a few times in a row in front of their hommies. I was raised as mean as a WWII Nazi, and by the Klingon Code of Khaless , Hitler should have been killed for incompetence. in my world view, it is not child abuse to lightly slap them down till they are in a crying ball on the ground screaming life is unfair.

When I face some of these hardships I was just sad.I sad was cause I knew what I was dealing with was real and not fiction. Some people are so dumb and hateful, the only way you can keep them from constantly coming at you is really slap them down hard, then twist their wrist out of joint.

females mature earlier that’s just a fact

@@overdose8329 girls do not mature faster than boys, we’re often forced to do so by our society. This video is a good example of how boys are allowed to still indulge in childish endeavors while also having time to learn and grow into adulthood. While girls are forced to mature because (even in present day) we have to get ready for motherhood or taking on major roles in organizing households.

@@tylerbhumphries that’s just not true. Among ancient Egyptians it was not too uncommon for girls at the age of 4 to have their first period and most had it by age 7-9. Girls mature physically and reach puberty (so mature mentally/emotionally as a result) faster than males on average. You need to go back to primary school science class

@@overdose8329 I thought a lot about your comment but couldn’t reply because I was at work and quit frankly, you disgust me. Your first statement was ignorant, not in a bad way, just in a “I’ve heard this before therefore I’m going to repeat it” we all do stuff like that. But your second comment made me realize you can’t be trusted around kids. Ever. I fear for any child that’s around you if you truly feel that just because a girl can menstruated she has reach full adult level maturity. And even if menstruation meant the body had hit adult level maturity, which it doesn’t, maturity has nothing to do with the body and everything to do with the brain. And both men and women’s brains stop developing in their mid 20s. Further development can happen as you learn new skills such as learning new languages or oddly enough, becoming a cab driver because you tend to remember in detail different routes and it changes the way your brain looks on MRIs. The average age of menstruation is 12 although it is standard for girls between 10 and 15 to start. Anyone outside of that range is an outlier and should not be counted as the norm or even as the somewhat normal. I was one of those girls. I started menstruating at 7 and yes, my body did start to develop but if I posted a picture of 7 year old me and 26 year old me, you would be able to see that my 7 year old body looks nothing like my 26 year old body. And in theory, yes, I could have had a kid at 7 but I most likely would have had a lot of issues with the pregnancy because my body was not fully developed and my birthing canal was still too soft/fragile to push another human out. You need to go back and take some basic anatomy classes, a human development class, a class about puberty and what it means for the human body and most certainly stay away from playgrounds, schools, and anywhere else children tend to congregate because you’re the type of person that made my father cover me in baggie clothing when I was 7. Wtf dude.

@@Darthwgamer Fun fact: suicide was considered a noble and good way out in ancient Rome, so it wasn't any better.

Originally, the term Paidagogos (child companion) is Greek and was used for slaves that accompanied the offspring of upper class families on their way to school and back.

@wearealltubes Yes useful skills in bringing up a militaristic society, not so great for bringing up people who won't go into professions that revolve around killing.

@wearealltubes Not every person can fit such a mold. And not every part of the society needs to be shaped that way. Current education systems are in no way perfect, but neither was the one of the Ancient Romans. As it was stated in the video - Pedagogus had a lot of power over his underlings. Now immagine that said Pedagogus has a set list of prejudices, that lead to him just punushing the child at any "problematic" topic instead of bothering himself with explaination. What will such a kid learn in their life? Just to parrot what their teacher said. Not to think for themself, but desperately cling on to something someone told them many years ago and then forced to accept with physical threat. I do believe, that's not something you meant with your original message. But you should also remember that there is 2 sides for every coin.

wearealltubes They were salves - often Greek. In comparative terms, they lived far more sedentary lives than your average Roman. As for violence, that was something your average human was far more accustomed to during that historical epoch in any context. Crime and violent conflict was an accepted part of most people’s (including much of the elite) lives.

​@wearealltubes Up to the 1800s rich families might hire a tutor for their son; they used to be taught that way but usually the tutor would take them places, travel to different locations to broaden their experience. Some took their charge abroad for a few weeks and returned, esp. when the son was older. Rich people today sometimes do this I expect; they wouldn't want their kids to go to a public school system, or even a private school: That would be for upper middle class yuppie types or below. I imagine the ideal would be to find a tutor of great character first and foremost; the rest would follow naturally from being righteous and upright. At least that would be the idea. But many busy wealthy tycoons may actually be narcissistic (self-centered) sociopaths who see their wife, mistresses and children as mere appendages. It was the same in Roman times. Herod "the Great" (an Idumaean Arab working for the Romans and trying hard to fit in as a Roman) killed his wives and almost all his own children. Thankfully he died a horrible death in his own bed.

Do you mean that the wife was passionate if a son was born? I’m confused.

Tyrian purple, made with sea snails, was incredibly expensive, but it was not like Romans didn't know how to mix red and blue to make a substitute. It was only less bright.

Purple is associated with royalty exactly because it's historically hard to make purple dye.

Probably anyone who wasn't a slave.

Most boys who wore the toga praetexta were at least fairly well off, as they were full Roman citizens. Slaves, peregrini, etc. were forbidden to wear any toga and did not enjoy the legal protection that the toga praetexta signified. The idea that society had a duty to protect children did not apply to all children, or even most children, in ancient Rome. The toga praetexta was a marker of which kids were considered worthy of protection, and which kids had to fend for themselves. The purple band advertised that Roman authority would come down on whoever harmed the child (unless it's the paterfamilias or under the paterfamilias' direction, in which case tough shit, kid).

They tried not to be to connected to babies because of that. Too much emotional investment at an early age is too risky due to the high infant mortality.

I think the naming system only really applies to citizens/mostly the aristocrats so I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of this only applied to the nobility

@Alt-Centrist NeoBuddhist-AnarchoBonapartist You're right. It is the knowledge of the of the nobility's Livestyle only that the Historians and Poets have preserved for today. The daily Lives of large parts of the Population lie in shadow for us.

The issue is, Lavender purple was expensive due to the crushed shells it was made from in the Med. Rome had a method of making another Violet/purple by mixture of Indigo and Iron Oxide, and due to the washing techniques it usually faded quickly making for a very light purple color over time. Below is a picture showing what that pigment looks like. imgur.com/ctpdLLC

The question is also, how often a toga was worn in daily life, as it severely restricted movement. Members of the upper classes could surely wear them on a daily basis, but craftsmen and farmers wore it certainly only on special occasions (and could hand it down through generations) and poor romens probably never owned one.

Well the vast majority of accounts are written by wealthy aristocrats with other wealthy aristocrats being the target audience. We know far less about the commoners in almost all ancient societies than we do about the kings and nobles.

I thought shirou means "white"

Sounds right... 😂😂😂😈😈😈😋😋😋

Considering that your "best friend" is female, seems to me like your night couldn't possibly get much worse.

Saying "she" hung up was a bit of a giveaway.

@@khatack you can say that again!!!! 😁😁🔥🔥

@@seannolan9857 a completely intentional giveaway 😁😁

@@khatack that totally depends on the topics of conversation and nature of their relationship ;)

@menkrep1337 bot That doesn't help the fact that you get whippied for every little thing, plus might die cause of family leader being like nah.

Sappho wasn't a lesbian, she was a Lesbian, as in her homeland was Lesbos. Her orientation was most likely bisexual.

@@MogofWar I meant lesbian as in the island (lesbos?) but now that I reread it does sound like I meant orientation edit: Yep, Lesbos as you said.

Oh! I know! I was just being a grammar NAZI about capitalization.

Southern Italy kept a lot of its greek culture even throughout the middle ages and modern tines. There are still villages in southern Italy where old people speak a diskect based on greek.

They were called "First" "Second" ..."Tenth", not 1,2 or 10

@@cv4809 That's...pretty much the same thing. A number isn't a very good distinct identifier. Imagine if your brothers got to be Junior and Backup Junior while you and your sisters were Surname First, Surname Second. "Second took my doll!" "Pass the olives Fourthie." Seems like it would get confusing real quick, especially if you spent a lot of time with cousins.

@@BonaparteBardithion That was just their official name. Each child usually had a nickname within the family, often a diminutive of their official name. For example, the first Julia would be called Julia, Julia Secunda could be called Julilla, and Julia Tertia could be called Julianna. Or some other little nickname as the parents saw fit.

@@revinaque1342 They would have to get awful creative with nicknames after a while. 😁
