Curious that Rome wanted to conquer the non-Greek culture Kush, as Rome, by this time, was in control of the Greek culture ruled Middle East, that mattered for the security of Rome, by then. (My theory is that the Senate accepted the idea of Julius Caesar for an emperor, due to this conquest of the Greek east was just too awkward for the Senate to over-see, by itself. And from the time of Alexander-the-Great, Greeks were inspired to conquer Italy as well as Rome. Hence, the Senate in Rome, saw the control of the Greek culture eastern Mediterranean as imperative to the continued security of Rome. Hence, Augustus was the first legally sanctioned Emperor, by the Senate, in which Augustus was to had been a servant of the Senate, in ruling the provinces of the empire) And the rulers of Kush had created the last strong dynasty rule of Egypt, before the non-Egyptian invaders began to invade & rule Egypt, beginning with the Assyrians. So in the mind of the Roman Senate, Kush was seen as part of the entire region of Egypt, with Egypt would not be securely held, without conquering Kush. (Into Kush is where many of the leading families of ancient Egypt fled into, as Egypt began to be conquered by outsiders, from the north. Hence, the brain-power of Kush was also the talent of ancient Egypt, moved into Kush) But in the military invasion and rule of Egypt by Rome, the Senate might had rapacious ideas on Egypt, to remove the wealth of Egypt, yearly to Rome. And that the Senate did not fear the few Greeks in Egypt, the way the other Greeks in the Middle East were feared, as might seek to conquer Rome, as Alexander-the-Great sought to do, if only this Alexander had lived long enough to do so. And though Rome began as an independent city, of stalwarts devoted to living righteous lives, by the laws of Rome; by the time of Augustus, the Roman character had descended into venal designs, of luxury-living-pleasure.

It is truly ironic how Augustus's life became more miserable the more years he spent in power and the more powerful he became, as he began to suffer tragedies one after another: His nephew Marcellus and his grandsons Gaius and Lucius died young, his daughter Julia became a nymphomaniac and his other grandson Postumus a troublemaker whom he had to exile, was forced to make his obnoxious stepson Tiberius heir to the Empire, the Teutoborg disaster ruined his plan to conquer all Germany, etc. In fact, the 1976 series I, Claudius did a magnificent job depicting Augustus' fall from grace. In addition, the 1968 miniseries The Caesars shows a depressed and tired of living Augustus who spends his last days begging outside the Imperial Temple to pass the time.

You realize havin one eye from war back in those days wasn't a disability but more like a flex the kids call it today. In those days disabled newborns we're most definitely considered a curse of the Gods then most likely died or very likely killed outright. It was hard enough keepin healthy children alive without resources, money or medical treatment

Seeing racists squirm to the mere fact that non-European history is being fed to the world, readily and easily, makes me smile so much for the future: . Thank you so much for this video, A Day in History.
Queen Amanirenas, Queen Tiye, all other ancestors, your memory was never forgotten and it's currently changing the world.

She was beaten by Gaius Petronius and treaty was settled. She and her people didn't have to pay tribute but Rome still controlled the border zone called the Twelve-Mile Lands. Bottom line the Romans were not going any further into Africa anyway, too far beyond and lands just not worth the trouble at the time

Um. why show cannons that used gunpowder when talking about ballista? A ballista is a type of artillery but it is not a cannon. The definition of a cannon includes the use of an explosive chemical propellant to fire the projectile. Cannons didn't appear until the 12th century in China.

It is clear the Ancient Afrikan Egyptians should have never hosted and educated Europeans who were escaping famine, that was the beginning of Afrika's downfall. But we are still alive and will get rid of the colonialists once and for all, the colonialists British Queen has died.

I think Emperor Augustus was just being pragmatic when entering peace with the Kush. He wanted to secure his southern borders to the very profitable Egyptian province. Conquering what is modern day Sudan was logistically too difficult.

The kushites were excellent archers. During the early Muslim conquest, arabs called them eye shooters because they were so good at marksmanship that they literally shot enemies in the eye!

I wouldn't say she overwhelmed the roman empire as the demands were fairly light and she never acquired a decisive victory.

Romans never had cannons (8: 56) since they weren't invented until the 12th or 13th century AD in China.
