The History of the Roman Republic (All Parts) - 753 BC - 27 BC
video description
HISTORY-
In addition to Rome, Alba Longa, Tusculum, Ariccia, Lanuvium and, to a lesser extent, Tivoli, Praneste, Gabi, Fidene, Ardea and Laurento emerged. In these cities the feeling of a common, although often rival, origin was strengthened. Rome, which initially was not supposed to be superior to other Latin cities, developed rapidly thanks to its position which made it a center of trade and commerce. Subjugated Antemne, Cenina, Politorio, Ficana, Tellene, it came to possess the mouth of the Tiber and founded Ostia there; he then destroyed Alba and took over the direction of the Latin Ferie, regulating relations between the federated cities on the basis of commercial and marital rights.\r\n

Good documentary overall. But there were some glaring mistakes still. Up the top of my head, the Aeneid does not say that Aeneas founded Rome. He founded Alba Longa from which Romulus and Remus originated. Tite Live reiterated this point in his work Ab Urbe condita libri as well. Another point to consider is that the Germanic Tribes are quite different from the Celts, whereas you said that the Cimbri were Celts. Lastly, -Scipio- is a family name, not a personal name. Both Scipio Africanus and Scipio Aemilianus technically have the same personal name, -Publius-. Therefore, their proper name is -Publius-, not -Scipio-.
You've done a great job summarizing the History of Rome in just over two hours, but I just wanted to point out these mistakes although it may seem like nitpicking.
Keep up the good work!

I think it was most likely that they are descendants of Aeneas who was not a actual prince of troy but the first cousin of Prince hector and Prince Paris maybe he became Prince of The Trojans after the death of his uncle and two cousins Hector and Paris by default. He survived the sack of troy and In the movie Troy they actually show him at the end of the movie, when Paris gives some random trojan peasant a sword and tells him to find a new home they made him a random guy I guess to make it more poetic but it was actually him and Hector's cousin Aeneas who he gave the sword too. so Aeneas is probably the actual founder of Rome and Romulus and the other brother are probably his grandchildren or children

I thought Aeneaus founded Alba Longa. I fubd it is so interesting how so much of early history of Rome is questioned but any Greek founding myths are not scrutinized so much.
Go look through all the dynasties in the world and an average of 35 years in a series of rulers is not infrequent. I think two of the reigns of Roman kings were around 50 years. That will skewed the numbers.

I have a question regarding your videos, what are your sources? if they are online, please link them in the description, it shouldn't be too hard, if they are books, then just list their names and authors, it would be extremely helpful to all of us and will remove any doubt from your videos.

I learned a lot about the founding of Rome, the transition from a monarchy to a republic, the Punic Wars, the rise of Julius Caesar, and the fall of the republic. I would highly recommend this video to anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating period of history.

This video glossed over the 1st Gracchi brother and completely ignored the 2nd. One of the most commonly ignored aspects of the Roman Republic is the constant degradation of norms and structures leading to the constant civil wars and eventually Caesar and the Empire.

About Gaius Marius, you conveniently forgot to mention he slaughtered off half the population of Rome in response to the murders of the Gracchi brothers. After which Sulla rose up and slaughtered half of what remained. Your history is flawed and inaccurate.

The Roman Fabian strategy against Hannibal proved to be very effective. To borrow a few words from -the art of war- which are -Fight the enemy where they are not-, the Romans instead go after Hannibals- allies and they deprive him any reincforcements.

Cool fact, America's founding fathers were admires of Roman culture and institutions. They adapted Rome's representative democracy as their own, named their legislature after the Roman Senate, and so many liberal ideas like -due process-.

Read the magical novel series by Colleen McCullough, Masters of rome, ranging from Jugurthine Wars to fall of Antony. Absolute treats to anyone interested in the Republic. The Grass Crown is my personal favourite among the series.

I could have sworn Brindisium was not a Greek town but Messapian. The etymology of the word -brini- is not Greek. It is related to Albanian -brin- meaning horn/rib in relation to the shape of the harbor.

That was possibly the worst description of the battle between Hannibal and Scipio Africanus I ever heard.
Congrats on that I guess.

Rome needing to get women part of the myth would support the colony theory. Like how the Spanish colonists took native American women.

TBH, I wished you talked more about the Gracchi brothers. They are synonymous with the many reasons for why the Roman republic fell.

Latin pronunciation: -v- sounds like English -w- and -c- is a hard consonant, sounds like -k-.
Otherwise great video.
