Does anyone else thing the Great Barbarian Conspiracy would make a brilliant Ridley Scott type film? (Its brief enough to easily cover the lead up and events - I can imagine a Pearl Harbour like atmosphere with Roman leadership dismissing reports of increased build up among the Picts, Scots and Saxons only for thousands of Gallic-Germanic raiders to descend on Britannia in one night of horrific slaughter, pillaging and raiding)

I always wondered how national English feeling was impacted by being one of the only two provinces abandoned by Roman Empires (with indefensible Dacia in Romania.
Nobody like to see his homeland as a worthless wet remote dead end.
Presenting it as a side effect of a general collapse, occurring also in other provinces, is both factual and healing.

Yes, I am sorry but do you know king Wortegern? So did you heared about this fact that this king called anglo-saxons to help him with scots and pickts. I know there is theory about this king was english one and thats why he called them. But actually this is only theory and I don't think that accepted it. I say about 8: 36. Thank you very much

You'd also think the fact that the 3rd Roman invasion of Scotland was the largest the Empire ever fielded, and after 8yrs it had completely failed, would be worth mentioning? You'd think that would be a pertinent fact. odd. Basically these videos are always really 'ALL ABOUT ENGLAND but we'll mention those 'others' to make it seem fair'.

Do you notice how all these videos talk about 'Romano British' but they talk about Britannia as the whole island. how can it be Romano British when only England was conquered? If Scotland was never conquered then how can it be romano 'british'? lovely bit of propaganda there eh.

The crisis of the third century. When the Roman Empire went a bit normal and everybody started to kill everyone else. Their bodies and minds being completely healthy didn't help them from being floundering idiots.

Nobody understood the concept of inflation back then
Unfortunately, the concept of inflation is still misunderstood - OFTEN ON PURPOSE - by the contemporary political elites to this very day.

Just because the romans claimed victory against the Picts, does not make it so. I never even knew they tried again. i thought Severus had the last campaign a hundred years earlier.

Constructive criticism: fewer dates - its a bit distracting, just tell us the big ones and keep things in order. Edit: feel free to interpret that temporally or botanically.

Caracalla crazier than Caligula? I don't think so; turning plebes into senators isn't as crazy as making _your horse_ a senator.

There is no archaeological evidence of any major invasion of Britain by the Saxon's or anyone else once the Roman's withdrew.
