I was born and live in Rome and it is the first time that I find it so fascinating listening to the history of my city. Thank you!

The Flavian dinasty paved the way for the golden age of the Five Good Emperors. Domitian's reign included. Especially his.

This has become one of my favourite channels over the past couple of years! I’m a huge history junky so it’s always nice to learn more about historical figures, even those I already know things about… You guys always get me to learn a new fact about a person from passed times ; which I just LOVE! Told my dad about the channel the other day since it’s his “fault” that I’m such a history junkie and he was like “darling next time you come over you have to show me how to find that channel, you know I’m not good with RU-vid and searching stuff online” - honestly I can’t wait to watch an episode together with him and discuss it afterwards ❤❤❤ Thanks for all the effort you put into each video for our enjoyment ; I wondered if you could one day make a series on famous actors/singers like Marilyn Monroe, Edith Piaf, Elvis, Charlie Chaplin just to name a few 🤭

Yes!! Keep the Roman emperors coming please please please!!❤❤❤ I'm addicted to this channel.

This channel has quickly become one of my all time favorites guys! All the work and detail you put into these videos really make it seem we're living through the enterity of your subjects lifes! each and every time i'm blown away by your ethic and quality! Keep going!

Titus was a shrewd man adapting to the demands of his place and situation. Fair minded but pragmatic, with a view to his own advancement and that of his family. In the context of Roman society his actions are reasonable and necessary for success.

Found this channel last week, its great. I especially love how each person's story begins with a lengthy explanation of the climate they were born into. Its so important to get that context for their life that most other documentaries leave out.

1:01:41 "you either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain" this proverb might have never been more accurate.

The Flavian Dynasty are one of the most fascinating families of history. Quite the rise.

I really like the calm voice of the narrator which drives into a flight through the time to eternity "all come from dust and to dust shall return"

Domitian next please, he was a good emperor and beloved by the army and people. (He even brought down the inflation of the Denarius). He just got on the bad side of history because he was disliked by the senate, nearly in the same manner William II (Rufus) got discredited by the church.

For anyone who hasn't read Heartly recommend Simon Scarrow's Eagles series in which early novels portray a (fictional) rivalry between Verspasian and Vitellus during the AD43 conquest of Britannia

How can we judge Titus by today's standards, it appears the ancients approved of his time as Emperor, let it rest as such.

Titus was a very underrated emperor. As Vespasian's son he took over the war in Judea and put down the Jewish rebellion by capturing Jerusalem and bringing back to Rome unimaginable riches that funded the construction of the Colleseum. He inagurated the opening of the Colleseum with many gladiatorial games and wild animal specticles that lasted for days. He oversaw the relief efforts of Pompeii and Herculaneum, contributing much of his personal wealth to the cause, and he only reigned two years before he died.

It's amazing how well you bridge the gap between the particularities of the people and the broader context of their times. Fantastic video's!

Your work is awesome! Do Constantine the Great next!😊😊😊❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

The man, the myth, and (most importantly) the arch!

I like documentaries about less known people from history.

One of the greatest "what if ?" In history... what if Titus would've lived ?

My grandpa was such a history lover and specifically the Roman Empire history that he named his children with some awesome names derive from that culture, uncle Plinious, aunties Tuliah, Nereah, Flavia, and of course my father Dionisious Constanino… epic guy borned in 1901.

Been waiting for this. Thank you guys! ❤

A word to the wise, always tip your legions.

I think the case for the flavian dynasty creating Christianity is highly compelling and quite frankly in my humble opinion its a far more reasonable explanation for its origins

Love your documentaries guys! Next time you should do Basil II the Bulgar slayer, the greatest byzantine Emperor 😊😊😊😊😊

Thanks for the amazing work brother

Trajano of Hispania was the best Emperor of Roma, he defeated Dacians, he conquered 1/3of partian empire even his capital Tesifonte and he said "if I was younger I reach India"

I found it quite interesting that Titus was having an “ affair “ with one of the Herodian princesses while in Jude’s. It is a fascinating read from the writings of Flavius Josephus!

Ironically, Titus' second wife, Marcia Furnilla, would be related to a later emperor: she was a maternal aunt of the emperor Trajan. Trajan's mother was Furnilla's elder sister.

Thanks. It was pretty informative, didn't know some things mentioned in this video.

100PERCENT BEST HISTORY CHANNEL AROUND

36:00 (ish) the romans may have been brutal to the defenders of jerusalem , but according to josephus the defenders were even more brutal to one another within the walls.

Thee BEST History channel on RU-vid!

Love this channel!

Wow - really good stuff, well balanced, very good presented - liked this one very much. Thank you for that. I am among many others who would like to see such a documentation about Domitian - do we have any chance getting this? Would love it.

excellent upload

One thing I like about Emperor Titus is Definitely his unusual choice in Colosseum Gladiator game Priscus Verus Two fought and both won I mean usually only one survives but this was definitely unique

James Frain would be a shoe in to play this gentleman 🤣

Thank you for this team! I can't wait to see your video on Domitian, the paranoid monster of the Flavians

Thank you very good information 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Love roman history exspecially the Flavians

You have such a nice relaxing voice 🤍I’ll happily listen to anything you say 🤍🤍

"Standing in my Benz with the Roman Salute" Mr. Bond

I should be like the weirdos and say you left out these things that have nothing to do with anything and the video was too short. Smh. Great video

Out of all the documentaries I've seen covering the Flavian emperors this is the one that gives the most careful consideration to the tricky process of weighing the historical evidence. Titus' life and rule is easy to conflate with Vespasian's so it's nice to see a bit of a more nuanced take on it. That being said, in a way, it's not enough. I feel like there is a little more appetite for the minutiae of evaluating historical events and their relationships to source material than may have been anticipated (if the popularity of certain historical podcasts is any indication). I suppose this doc struck a balance of its own, but I wouldn't have minded a little more dissection.

Interesting documentary

This is my kind of video !

I really like your presentation style, the man or woman know to history ❤🎉

Amazing Rome ❤love from india, superb video

Timely documentary, considering the way the Senate is acting right now in America with putting the leading candidate for president in prison potentially, over something they could all be charged with. It’s going to be an interesting next 4 to 5 years.

Hope one will be done Cesare Borgia or the whole Borgia family

yes, titus was a good guy.

i think that whether or not he was a good person, he was good at emperoring...

An excellent and thoroughly informative educational video covering one of my favorite topics. Very enjoyable, as well! 🙂👍🙏👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

I think Titus was probably an average commander and emperor. He wasn't as bad as Nero or as good as Marcus Aurelius. Good video!❤

Very nice. Really good. Thank you. Only one caveat: Neither Caesar nor any Roman ruler ever ruled "much of the civilized world." (@ 5:13-14) If so, they would have also rule dover China, India, Persia and other vast realms of human civilization. They did not. They were "kings of their own hill" around the Mediterranean, period.

Historians are time travelers cartographers that map out time…

good documentary 👍 would be better if there is availability of English subtitles, an important tool for English learners 😢😢

Legends

Por favor lo pueden subtitulado en español gracias

Waiting for Domitian now

PLEASE PLEASE cover Commodus next!! 🙏 🙏

Personally , I preferred the younger brother , Domitian .

Titus was clearly the greatest Roman Emperor and General.

Dismissal of the numbers who were killed (as related by Josephus) is typical of modern historians, as if the ancients didn't know how to account. Josephus's account of the Wars of rhe Jews has been verified in many cases and he states that the Romans had paid for the disposal of the bodies of the Jews and kept an accurate account for that purpose. In addition, the city was swollen by the numbers who came for celebration of one of the Jewish holidays which made a trip to the Temple a mandatory observance. Josephus, who was present with the Roman army, was very familiar with Jerusalem and would have known himself what numbers could be found in the city during one of the mandatory festivals. The numbers estimated by modern historians is pure crap.

The Iron Age came about due to a desire for the masses to take power from the elite. There were invasions of Sea People, but they were also part of the system of governance created by the Elite, an elite all related to one another like one big extended family (chiefly due to all the marriages going on). The Copper Age (the rise of talent and ability that allowed one a place in society as a continuation of the Neolithic Age, but more importantly power began to become a tool of politics). The Bronze Age (established by the chaos of competing civilization in which power became increasingly centralized into the hands of a few people and where family ties determine one's place). You could argue that the copper age collapsed into the Bronze Age but it is more correct that it was conquered in which Kingdoms began to emerge due to said conquest such as the unification of Egypt between Upper and Lower Egypt. The Iron Age (the collapse of the Bronze Age in which power began to filter out of kingdoms in favor of new people of talent, a sort of return to the Copper Age, albeit this came through stages through the rise of new Kingdoms, new forms of government and the fall of Old Kingdoms and Forms of Government). The Medieval Age (the fall of central authority in favor of regional lords and consolidation of culture under a unifying system of religious practices and doctrine). The Modern Age (the reunification of the state, the separation of the state, and the rise of the individual man).

Got it: Tacitus was the historian, Titus the ruler.

thank you for telling this, he is a brutal destroyer for destroying civilization treasures, like history books and library.. I think he's look like Gengis Khan

You will question our new emperor: Is ability to rule Emperor Titus will have your family hang from the city walls.

Who is the narrator of this video ?

Caligula and Nero the bigest dictators of Rome 😮

Please make one about princess Lamballe

Good narration. Good historical material.

❤❤❤

,,, ' th' ides of march -> meeting of murderous minds " ...

Had Titus reached the age of his father, would he have kept his reputation? What ifs are pure speculation and not to be answered, but one day they were day to day business.

Good stuff! My one complaint is using "decimated" in it's modern meaning instead of the old Roman meaning...considering this program is all about the old Romans.

Titus = Malleus Ludaeus

The Best Emperor

Ok kijken ik ook

I don't think Augustus was the real heir. I believe the Senate lied because they didn't want Caesars real son to be in charge because his mother was Cleopatra making him a Prince of Egypt and heir to Caesars throne.

Great treatment on that of Titus. But there's seems to be one key vital piece of information about Titus,and that being that he like King Cyrus of Medo/Persian empire were both subjects of prophetical information in the Bible,more pointedly in Daniel 9:26 where he is identefied as a prince,because his father Vespesian had left him in charge of finishing the task at Jerusalem,while his father went back to Rome for his official coronation! So in fact,he was an instrument in God's hands to accomplish His divine order of things concerning His covenant people,the Jews! Remember that Jesus had prophecied the utter destruction of the temple, I find it extremely important for there's great amount of commotion in Israel in wanting to build the third temple! So in a sense,Titus was carrying orders,not from Rome,but from the throne! The one in heaven,that is!

50:00

Titus was a good emperor. Good only to the sense that he only ruled for 2 years 2 months and 20 days which could not have offered him the chance to see his dark side. my views though

He was just as great as nippleus

In the video you mentioned that Titus allowed those attending Passover to enter in order to add pressure on the food supply. It was common for Jews from around the empire to attend passover. At this time, up to 20% of the larger Roman cities around the empire, were Jews. Because of this, one million is plausible.

Josephus's claim of a million deaths is actually reasonable considering the time and place. During Passover, Jews traveled to Jerusalem from all through the Diaspora, not just from Judaea. There were more Jews living outside Judaea than within. And Titus let the travelers in but not out.

Dat promma is ert interressante voor de menssen die heft a section literraire . Op school ik heb des maar hier er is veel detaol

He was good for the Roman’s and not for the enemies, is the same we ask for our presidents.

The Roman senate never issued a DEATH WARRENT It was a "Arrest Warranty" He was the last of his line.... The senate wanted him to go live in exile/// peace and keep the Julius-(something...LOL) Alive and produce Heir's,,,,,,, I Known the TRUTH is not always the easy path But lets Try to fellow it Peace

you should do chhatrapati shivaji maharaj next

The video fails to mention Vespasian's masterstroke of contorlling the influx of grain into Rome - effectively stopping it - to become Emperor.

Was Titus one or the other? How about both.

Can you please make one video about the biography of Indonesia's 2nd president - Soeharto . Please 🥺🥺🥺

Flava Flavian

For the first part of my life I despised all things Roman, but over the years I have realized while the Roman conquered, the subsequent peace they established and the stability they provided was better than what the people had before and what they would have had. However, I can never wrap my head around the "games" of the coliseum. The noble Romans of the Republic had descended into depravity.

Better than Nero? Nero seemed like he wanted to spread the arts in a crazed society If you won a battle your a threat to your emperor that would enslave you seems stable

So, did the Flavians invent Christianity in order to circumvent/neuter radical messianic Judaism?

Thought this would be about Peter Santenello's Titus...

Amen, Thank you Jesus praise you Jesus i believe and i trust in you Jesus my lord my saviour and my King Glory to God Amen 🙏🙏🙏
