Tom Holland: Lessons from the Roman Empire 

Smacks of damage limitation.

It's basic Nietzscheanism.

Yea brilliant

@smileytownSF No you dont

The radioactive spider bite came from a Lycosidae.......

I'd been wondering if they were the same Tom Holland since I watched the last Spider-Man, thanks for confirming it.

Unless I miss my guess, this Mr. HOLLAND doesn't have another 'day job' starring in the SPIDER MAN flix....

@@ChessErwin Sorry to inform you, but you missed your guess

He also directed the movie Child's Play I think...

I heard about TH from Dominion, which I richly enjoyed. I also liked the Rest is History 4-part series on the IS civil war

@@jsong8282 Listen to all of them. They are very funny. The best episodes are without guests. Just the two of them. Enjoy. 🥰 From Stockholm

Where can one find this podcast, please?

Well that's not gonna happen with the American Empire.

​​@@samchandler7747 The only ones from that list that couldn't have emerged elsewhere are the blues and rock 'n roll. We're still reading Ancient Greeks but I wonder if people will be listening to rock 2,500 years from now. Bach and Tchaikovsky have a much greater chance of living on that long.

Korean made a film for that: Spring,summer,autumn,winter and Spring. Kim-Ki-Duk should be the director,

Audible is awesome Loved it ❤because Tom Holland reads it and his voice punches the vital stuff - highly recommended 😊

Is it as good as the movie, l thought the movie was fantastic.

I would be even more impressed if they cited 'The Rise and Fall of Great Powers', but Paul Kennedy, a real historian, not an amateur. His work showed that in reality the essential condition for the European rise to greatness was not the Roman Empire but its collapse.

Great point!

Some even say that the Byzantium had endured and the Russian empire was a spiritual descendent of Byzantium, because the Russian statehood was consolidated through its wholesale conversion to Orthodox Christianity in the 10th century.

@@r64g Ottomans were the descendants earlier than Russians. That is the reason why Ottoman is considered as "Third Rome".

@@r64g That's probably going too far, but the conversion of Rus' to the Orthodox faith was a hugely important event. When Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Turks in 1453, it became common to call it "The Third Rome" and Muscovites proclaimed that there would be no fourth, recognizing the importance of their link with Byzantium.

It is really interesting to recognize Russia as the spiritual inheritor of the Eastern Roman Empire. The Eastern Roman spirit had, for so many ocassions, recovered from military defeats and territorial losses to the formidable Arabs and Turks. Great emperors like Nikephoros II and Basil II brought destruction to the once victorious Arabs while Alexios I, Ioannes II and Manoul I often defeated the Turks in battle. Successive Muslim empires completely failed to conquer the whole of Anatolia before the 1204 Crusader sack of Constantinople. Later, while the Eastern Roman Empire was allegedly conquered by the Ottoman Turks, the Eastern Roman spirit was revived and embodied by the Russian Empire which often massacred the invincible Ottoman armies. @@r64g

Interesting take through modern eyes.

very good historian, can't look at him though, makes me feel sick, weird creature

I asked myself the same question.

They're typical of humans.

​@@neilreynolds3858NO u speak of yourself and more importantly for yourself . I hope you're either in the upper echelons are in prison because if you are not your wolf encounter problems in this life and definitely in your future life

@@LadyBug1967’wolf encounter’ - yes, that’s pretty weird…..

How?

Humans do not change much in these areas. 😂😢

FB I beg to differ. Tom has a very nuanced and very subtle view of these issues and what he's reflecting upon is that the public in America-- if they viewed what the public in Rome viewed --they would find it disgusting and they would be sick to their stomachs. THIS is NOT to say that the elites , and those that mingle with them n do their dirty work like Epstein, who came from Jewish working class Brooklyn ( need I say more)but rose to prominence in terms of money due to his used by the US government to basically do KOMOROMAT-- the Russian way of controlling people. In like sense prisons and those people in those prisons are similar to the upper echelons because the two extremes don't need to worryvif they're going to move from their position-- the lowest will stay in the lowest level the highest will stay in the highest level -- itis we middle-class who have morals and ethics and actually belong to usually a group that has ideas regarding what makes for good family life; a good place to raise children; a good place to prosper both spiritually and physically. I'm sorry if you missed a nuanced and in depth analysis by Tom Holland but perhaps you can reflect more upon it now

Tom's indicated strongly in multiple interviews that he has significantly reconsidered and rediscovered Christianity through his work on "Dominion", so I think he's definitely on the path!

Daft 😂

Boris is a fat clown... so more Vitellus than Vespasian

All empires were harsh. What's ur point. And let me say that life was harsh back then

Third Reich only lasted a few years The Roman empire lasted over 2000 ,

Trusting Mussolini?

Well, Mussolini was the leading Marxist in Italy for most of his life and claimed that his theory of Fascism arose from his Marxism, so perhaps there is some sort of throughline to the beliefs of Roosevelt.

Leaving behind many thousands of his men , killed in action or starved or frozen to death, While the the great napoleon abandoned his men & ran away from the Russians

Ah, answered my own question - the Unherd Club in Westminster. Who’d have thunk it?

Tourist destination in Rome

After WW2 the USA and Russia carved up eastern Europe between themselves Britain had very little say ..

Sounds like Libertarianism, which unfortunately seems unable to get any traction in the western world.

@@LTVoyager no, this is how my life looks like. politicians in e.g. the us cannot decide in which state in the us i do business.
