The reign of Augustus in Rome 

He cast a long shadow... No one really ever exceeded him and his pivotal changes in the system for quite some time...

You and me both. Maybe some day soon someone will make a VR experience for us.

I think a day would be long enough. Just be careful when you set foot outside the Forum. Avoid stepping over do-do and dead animal carcasses. Make sure your time machine is well-oiled and the batteries are fully charged. This old man might be more adventurous and cruise back to the "Regal Period" centuries before the Empire just to see how much of this very early period that has come down to us is bogus . After all, the grandeur of the empire had a remote beginning. Keep up these great videos! Eye candy for the history buffs!

Nice to hear you have such respect for a leading paranoid narcissistic psychopaths. Think you would survive the day?

@@user-yn8ht7gf9f Probably not, but it would be glorious! Ave! whatever.

You might like a video [that is here on YT] called "Bad Neighborhoods in Ancient Rome" ("how a hypothetical time traveler could avoid running into trouble on the mean streets")

Yes, quite the pair.

What if Julius had survived???

his mother was African

His statues show someone who looks a bit like Napoleon or, dare I say it? Vladimir Putin.

@@OtaBengaBokongo Gaius Octavius’s mother, Atia, was the daughter of Julia, the sister of Julius Caesar, and it was Caesar who launched the young Octavius in Roman public life. At age 12 he made his debut by delivering the funeral speech for his grandmother Julia.

And actual models

Your point is well taken. What was the "grandeur of Rome" was pretty much a Potemkin village enjoyed by the privileged, the wealthy and largely concealing a vast squalid sewer of tenements, garbage, and disease. We ought not to be smug. We too have our inner slums ringed by pricey high rises and idyllic suburbs.

Glad you liked it!

Thank you!

Many thanks!

Glad you like them!

Glad you enjoyed it

Ave Caesar

@@pinchevulpes Which one?

Thank you!

there was always this struggle between the barrows represented by the senate and military leadership that resulted in emperor's :)

It was truly beyond repair or turning back. Just looking at his predecessors in the first triumvirate, as well as the "reign" or Sulla, - and his own triumvirate experience, Octavian would have realized there was no going back!

Ma dai..., Sei sicuro di non aver sbagliato canale? Bah!.si tratta di eventi di oltre 2000 anni fa.

@@derekborg5159 yes you went there lol. I had 3 lives I have seen Rome in two of them. my first recollection is on Etruscan border and these guys where telling us how to live and pay taxes. end of a happy innocent time. Augustus had news call every other week on Friday some good some bad. I can remember him very well especially the killings of those two boys hurt still. They where full of life always laughing. very beautiful whole town loved them. his action had caused him some political setback but as always the new year he come with something new and good for Rome and he renewal his trust..

So Julius caesar is irish ?? Alrighty then !! Lolololol

@@deanodog3667 no, Gaius (from Gaul - Gael) was a Roman with gaulish-Gaelic ancestry & his 'history' and his book of his campaigns are fake. They're written as inspiration & to explain the Roman church destroying the church of Iesa. Rome comes from Ogam (ancient Irish) Ro meaning before Ome meaning body, earth, grave. It means before heaven (Ro) and earth (ome) The river Tiber comes from Tubber, a spring or well. As the poet Longfellow said 'their names are on your waters, and ye may not wash them out' Read 'irish origins of civilization' 'irish wisdom preserved in Bible & pyramids' 'the Bible, an Irish book' 'makers of Civilization' 'Fir Gods & Stone Faces' And many more. The Romans went to war with the church of Iesa & rewrote their bible to make humans worshippers. All old ruins worldwide that the WEF won't let anyone dig up were buried by the Romans and then British. They're all for sun worship. The church of Iesa. Iesa (no J in Irish) - Jesa - Jesus. The winter solstice is Jesus on the cross. Our history is entirely rewritten.
