Spoilers: Rome collapses
Why do you talk to negatively about Christianity but you show the upmost respect for Islam???
I love learning about the Roman Empire from Gene Belcher
Sadly, if you manage to put out a dumpster fire, you are still left with a box of hot garbage.
As a Christian myself, can report the argument about whether Jesus was God, Man, God-Man or something else is still raging to this day.
45:30 the Greeks aren’t the Roman Empire, that shithole empire finally died when it Rome itself got sacked by the Goths.
The thing about the drama with Basil the first sounds about right for the average polycule drama usually excluding the murder. Speaking from experience
There has only been one other channel than this that have managed to keep my attention during a 3 hour video, I see your abilities on par with animarchy history
2:33:44 Maybe he was into that sort of thing
22:44 Isn't it typical when men get so lost into their dreams and ambitions of taking over Persia that it's left up to the wife to keep the empire actually running?
