At 0: 37 you misspelled -FABULAE PALLIATAE. - A -Fabula- is a play, and since it is a -First Declension- feminine noun in Latin, its Nominative Plural is -Fabulae. - -Palliatae- is the adjective or participle, so its ending should match the plural noun and is correct here. BTW a -pallium- is a Greek cloak, so I guess the closest translation to -Palliatae- is -be-Greek-cloaked. - These are literally -Plays Wearing Greek Cloaks- and it seems like there may be some debate on whether the actors literally wore Greek cloaks, or if they just get their name from the fact that Roman playwrights were re-adapting Greek plays and ideas.

-It might be a bit of a stretch to point out Terence as a -person a colour-- unless you're using that term very broadly.
as -during the Roman Empire as well as in Italy today, North Africans are- indeed called -foreigners-, but -hardly seen as if they were of -another race-. - After all, North Africans are simply Middle Eastern people from Africa rather than black people.
I've got an -art history professor who's a Tunisian from Italy. - and while the locals could always tell she was -foreign-, it wasn't like they labelled her as -alien- in any way, but rather an --exotic southerner. --

How is he going to present the medieval (European) morality play. Hilde' of Bingen is a great composer of plain - chant, mystic iconographic artist, writer on medieval medicine, and morality play writer. I think most vlogbrothers fans lean left. How can someone present the great morality play Ordo Virtutum as great and captivating?

Very informative info. sessions, and I watch them several times to memorize the information. Mike is warm and personable and the script written for him is clever and witty.
The Thought Bubble designers are hilarious. Hope Crash Course makes a series of the History of Fashions.

Can I ask is it possible for Crash Course to make videos on Accounting & Finance? I'm starting the course in university from Sep 2018 and it would be lovely to have a bit of idea beforehand!

Is there any evidence that the Romans might have used criminals or anyone else to play the parts that would require violence and death? That sounds pretty Roman to me

Of note, we may care about Terrence not being white, but he and the people around him probably didn't, the romans slaved everyone equally

I had no idea that David Foster Wallace got his novel's title from the Yorick scene in Hamlet. I guess that makes sense, considering. ..
