ASMR - 3.5 Hours History of Ancient Rome (8th Century BC - 1453 AD)
3,133,484
Published 2020-03-15
In part 1, I tell you about the origins of Rome, its slow emergence and wars until the 1st Century BC - including the founding of the Republic and the rivalry between the Senate and the plebs, the conquest of Italy, the wars against Carthage, the overseas expansion, figures like Scipio, Marius, Sulla, Pompey and Caesar, and also life, religion, society, urbanism and warfare in Roman antiquity.
In part 2, we go through the campaigns of Caesar, the transformation into an Empire under Augustus, the succession of emperors and the challenges they had to face, as well as the rise and persecution of Christianism until the new religion was adopted, the Roman economy, barbarian invasions, the separation of the empire into two parts and the final collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.
In part 3, I take you to the mythical city of Constantinople to explore the history of the Byzantine Empire. As the Western Roman Empire collapsed under invasions, its Eastern counterpart lived on and perpetuated the dream of recreating the Roman Empire during the Middle Ages. This is the story I tell you in this video: I discuss the waves of invaders that Byzantine had to face, from the Huns and the Arabs to the Turks, its culture, politics and society, how it drifted away from the west religiously, leading to the East-West Schism between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, and many more things, until the final fall of Constantinople in 1453 AD.

Never heard of this channel before wonder ho- "Hello everyone" Welp. I'm here to stay.
-
It just suddenly struck me to realize (after listening to your 2nd long video) just how incredibly difficult for someone to speak several hours nonstop without a single "huh, um, ah". You're amazing!
-
Great video as always. I always appreciate my story being retold.
-
You released this video March 15, The Ides of March. Rip Caesar
-
Talking for almost 4 hours nonstop, if that's not dedication then I don't know what is. Plus, very informative. My two interests blended together: ASMR+HISTORY ❤️❤️❤️
-
One of the most soothing deep voices out there in soft spoken asmr... Always eager to learn.
-
You ever have that eureka moment with a new channel? Mine was the moment this man started talking

As a documentary specific asmr nerd, to find you in 2021: you are a life savor and words cannot express the last 3 days of a soothing man’s voice that comes close to my late father level of soothing. I’m 30 and your voice sends me back to my childhood of my father reading history books to me. Thank you for your work💓💓💓

I'm a Classicist and historian and a huge ASMR fan so this video is absolutely ideal for me! Thank you!
-
Social distancing here we come. Jokes aside, thank you my good Sir. Stay safe people. Don't let fear rule over you; instead let's have compassion for our fellow man.

Found you during COVID19, and now "hello everyone" is like a tranquilizer. Thank you so much!!

I‘ve finally found my obsession on YouTube. Perfectly packaged for me😁: ancient civilizations and asmr💜

This virus is the perfect excuse for an ASMR video to put me into a four month coma.
-
I had a really bad night last night trying to sleep. Every time I woke up I turned this on and I fell back asleep. THAT IS RARE. Wow, thank you so much.
