Otto killing himself was the most romantic move of 69 ad

5:55 A man of honour

Great video. Ths longer ones are interesting but these shorter segments are a great way to obsorb things. The visual style you use makes things easier to connect the people and events.

At first I tought that you will talk of Sulla Vs Marius. Still a good video.

"In the summer of 69". I see what you did there.

Love this channel

Love this history of Roman empire series!

Love your videos❤

Love your Rome videos!

As a South African I would love a collab btw you, HistoryMarche and Epic History. That would be 🔥

It amazes me how long the pretorian guard lasted

Galba was from my city! Terracina🇮🇹💪🏻

After 60 plus years of studying roman military history I find this video documentary very interesting for it's conciseness.

You didn't mention all the drama about the fake Poppaea. Maybe that's good. That gives me the creeps

Please make a video about the Kingdom of Morocco

Pretorians seem to have taken a lot upon themselves. I'd always been under the impression they were answerable to the Emperor, not the Senate. Seem not only had they developed a bad habit or killing emperors, but had also become answerable to no one, thus a highly dangerous if not intolerable threat. Wonder how that happened (Claudius?), and why the Flavians or their successors didn't have the destroyed or disbanded on personal safety grounds.

Can i know what is the resource of the map used

Interesting video, certainly a chaotic time to be in Rome

Roman Empire and civil war are synonymous

Otho is so noble 👸

What's happening around the borser of modern England and modern Wales at this time? Genuinely interested.

I Feel bad for the people of rome during this time.

What if Persians, Greeks, And Romans all stayed united from ancient times all the way to modern times today?

The Year of the Four Emperors, AD 69, was the first civil war of the Roman Empire, during which four emperors ruled in succession: Galba, Otho, Vitellius, and Vespasian. It is considered an important interval, marking the transition from the Julio-Claudians, the first imperial dynasty, to the Flavian dynasty. During the Year of the Four Emperors, there were four Emperors in the span of the year 68-69 CE. They include, in order, Servius Sulpicius Galba, Marcus Silvius Otho, Aulus Vitellius, and Titus Flavius Vespasianus. The Romans sometimes used powdered mouse brains as toothpaste! At one banquet in Rome, the guests were served with hundreds of ostrich brains! Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were supposed to have been raised by a wolf! Cobwebs were used to stop bleeding.

Plz make more long form docs like the ones you did on Rome and the Ottoman Empire. These are too short to fall asleep too…

One issue here. Galba never styled himself as a general of the senate. In a manner of speaking he did use the old term for a commander, Imperator, but by now that was Emperor. His full title Imperator Servius Galba Caesar Augustus. Roughly, that means ' Galba the Great'. Kinda ironic I would say!

Funny number AD? They picked that number to be the Year of the 4 Emperors? Welp, time to call Damocles.

Does anyone else remember the old voice the videos are gone but I remember that they was a old voice actor who did these video

Wasn't the first civil war the one fought between Octavian & Antony?

"I got my first real six-string Bought it at the five-and-dime Played it 'til my fingers bled Was the summer of '69"

Otho is a real hero

The fratricide of the "mythical founders" of Rome Romulus and Remus anticipated the continuous and future civil wars between Romans...

First civil war was Sulla-Maruis, second Cesar - Pompey Magnus, then comes Octavian/Mark Antony - Pompey jr and then Octavian - Mark Antony. After all this Octavian becomes Augustus the Emperor. Even tho they had no official Emperor in Cesar timeline they were still an Empire no less.

Now do years of 5 and 6 emperor

Otho was hella based for that. Shame the Praetorians couldn't resist the urge to have yet more bloodshed and refused to let Vitellius abdicate. Wild that it took until 193AD before the Praetorians had their power curbed.

Vespasian was putting down a revolt in judea, so you should how showed them as their own faction

At least there wouldn't be a bunch of other ones in the future

After the death of Emperor Nero. The Civil War in Rome is definitely the surprise war in history.

Why Nero is so thin on his portrait?

"The first Civil War of the Roman Empire"... well that's only correct if you ignore the fact that La Res Publica Romana had already conquered a vast empire before there were any emperors, and the Roman Republic had several Civil Wars fought across its empire, including the one that gave Julius Caesar the title of his book.

Crazy people can be bestowed the most powerful position on earth, with untold riches and opulent lifetime perks... and they horribly botch it by making the most idiotic decisions for no reason and throw it all away on a whim... humans are utterly bizarre.... sure it would likely go to my head a bit... but just on pure self preservation, I would listen to every advisor's and try to make every power broker happy. Etc... why not?

First? Really?

Better than that European colonial video on Africa, why Africa was claimed by Europe within 12 months. These videos are your channels best work. When there is no agenda shoe-horned into them.

otho was such a loser

Nice video, though those AI generated portraits make me want to throw up

RIP OTHO
