Called, in Latin, Vallum Hadriani or Vallum Aelium, Hadrian's Wall is a fortification whose construction began in 122 CE, in the Roman province of Britannia, under the reign of Emperor Hadrian - Trajan's successor. The grandiose construction began on the shores of the River Tyne, close to the North Sea, and reached the Irish Sea. It represented the northern limit of the Roman Empire, beyond which began the territories belonging to the free tribes of those lands, including the Picts. The wall was built by the Roman legionnaires, among whom there were also architects, masons or stonemasons. The components of the Roman legions had the status of Roman citizens. The soldiers who worked or carried out military activities at Hadrian's Wall came from northern Europe, there were also units brought from greater distances, made up of fighters of different nations. Among them were Asturians (from the Iberian Peninsula), Syrians and Geto-Dacians from the kingdom of Dacia, conquered by the Romans in 106. Current Romania . At Hadrian's wall, in the fort of Banna, the Dacians from the Prima Aelia Dacorum cohort stationed and fought.. . The ancient Dacia - current Romania. The Dacians, the ancestors of today's Romanians.

Your content is amazing. I’ve watched many of your videos and they inspire me to learn more about our unwritten history. My question is what is your opinion on the mud flood theory? Why do all these profound buildings all over the eastern world look like they have significant substructures?

Battle of Ostia 😔

Ancient Rome just came alive in this amazing video. Well done!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Always show some clear pictures of the construction crews on these projects. It's the best way to disprove the nonsensical claims that blacks built our country.

Pretty sure the ToldInStone guy ripped you off. His tone and cadence is just like yours, ans he even talks about history stuff too! You should probably sue him for all his tenured worth.

Another gem. Thank you!

"Oldest European building in the west hemisphere" - quite a bold statement, considering quite a lot of Europe and Africa lies in the west hemisphere as well...

Sainte Geneviève is the patron saint of Paris in the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox traditions. In 451 she led a "prayer marathon" said to have saved Paris, diverting Attila's Huns away from the city.

Maybe you could do a followup video explaining the same features on the back of our dime? 🤔🤔🤔

I walked in this ancient theatre. A masterpiece of conseration. Not just old stones (dont touch!). A place to live. Kids playing football, students sitting on the stairs and reading, man playing boule. And surrouded by big old trees. IMHO the most impressive place in paris - and 99% tourists free. From the streets you will not see it, if you dont know.

Oh, yeah. The very first Roman monumental building I've ever seen. Hundreds since, but this one left an impression on the app. 15yo me.

Nice video. One small correction : the Panthéon in Paris is not modeled after the Roman one and isn't build over the tombe of Ste Geneviève. Her tomb was in the former St Peters church behind the Panthéon .

Is roman origin sem trabel from ilirian

We have been there two days ago, it was very impressive. And then the next morning we visited the arena, it was indeed a wonderful remarkable place, so peaceful and tranquil....Paris invites you to discover its hidden treasures. Thanks a lot for the video

Thank you very well done, liked and subscribed. You should have done some inside shots of the frigidarium of the thermes de Cluny it is really impressive. There is also the remains of a theatre in a another park opposite the amphitheatre, although much less extant it is still impressive. In the older houses in the streets leading down to place Jussieu from les arénes de Lutèce, there are a lot of recuperated stone used for the facades, some with latin inscriptions. The amphitheatre is of a type found elsewhere in Northern Gaulle, like the similarly sized extant amphitheatre at Lillebonne in Normandy. Both having two large gates that make it seem that they were used for processions. Finally in the Paris area there the remains of a substantial 'chunky' aqueduct at Arcueil just South of Paris, with lots of extant subterranean sections nearby.

By all means, grab a take-out lunch from a charcuterie, boulangerie & a fruit stall as you head up the hill to Arène de Lutece. Best place in Paris for a quiet, shady al fresco as you watch the kids play boules.

Told in stone. Good work.

I got from the first minute it had to be in turkey. It’s the only country, that they disrespect so much, the Greek legacy of almost all its territory. They don’t even educate the children in school about it, referring only to a blur roman past ( they avoid the word greek as it’s the devil). Usually they add to that “roman” past traces of “hittite” or similar unfortunate “historical facts “, and they have no idea of what they are talking about in the end. And so, they prefer to let the monuments to get eroded by the elements, or they bring turists, there, only if they can get lots of money, deforming the real history, always. They even destroy ancient monuments turning them to hotels, swimming pools , gardens, mosques, etc, etc, not caring, at all about the continuity of the monuments, only focusing on the exploitation for money. Extremely uncivilized place. They came to this country, they destroyed one of the most advanced civilization, ever existed, and they continue to destroy it, until today. It’s a phychiatric case, that has to do with a whole state. Interesting for phsychologists to study on it.

The Romans were everywhere. What a great civilization.

Thank you for this tour of remnants of ancient Lutetia.

Thank you for taking us places (time and space) we would not be able to visit otherwise.

I'm going to make a note of these Roman relics and visit the next time I travel to Europe. Thanks for this information.

So many romanesque buildings date to the 11th and 12th Centuries. Is that because of the crusades?

I live near the Trophy of Pompee in the Pyreneese. Not much is left, but I would love for you to do a chapter on it.

Collectors…. Or raiders….. hmmm

Very interesting

Lovely narration! Thanks for making and sharing. 👍

it is cursed and the reason the bears can't win

great video! thanks!

People hide Roman ruins in order to build hotels where I live. Corruption is alive and well.

I am fascinated by the Pillar of the Boatmen found in Paris, mixing Roman and Gaul deities - I often wonder if what Cesar descibes wasn't actually Nanterre, as proposed by some archaeologists. It's not far from downtown Paris, (actually a bend in the river that makes an almost-island, right before Paris if you're sailing from the coast) and all the wonderful Gaulish material that was found there in recent excavations.

And now I know how Paris got its name.

I really do enjoy these types of videos. I am certain that many European cities could benefit from your gaze!

The overcast and the muddled tones fit the obscurity of these meager Roman survivals in The City of Light, La Ville de la Lumiere.

Peritheorion was sited in south western Thrace (nowadays north eastern Greece)

This appears so similar to the fortress remains at Caer-leon Newport Wales

Was there ever an arena here?

fascinating

This isw onderful! Thanks for the great content!

Surprised you missed the surviving section of the Roman wall.

Dr Ryan is always so poetic

Looks like I'm going to travel to Paris again.

Thanks!

All I know about Lutetia is from Asterix the Gaul comic books

Great video. Thanks for posting.

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the great content!

first!

BANNA ! The Dacians Fort on the wall of Hadrian. Banna-Birdoswald, Britannia-UK. BANNA - In Northumbria - the largest and oldest fort of the sixteen inscribed along the wall, the best preserved, with most vestiges, the only inhabited, and after the breakdown of the Roman empire, long after, by the descendants of those soldiers coming from Dacia . Banna! ... Birdoswald, as the Englishmen baptized it . This fortress was built and inhabited by 1000 soldiers from COHORS I AELIA DACORUM , recruited by the Roman Emperor Hadrian from Dacia ( actual Romania) at 120-125 AC , to fight against Scottish, Iuti and Picti from the north. After the Dacian wars (101-102 and 105-106), the Roman Empire used Dacian cohorts (military units of 500-1000 soldiers) throughout the Empire, archaeological discoveries pointing to their presence both in the United Kingdom today and in Turkey . '' '' They were remarkable warriors. They fought without fear of death and died laughing because they believed that their souls were immortal. The title "Aelia" itself was a great honor, for it derives from the entire name of Emperor Hadrian, a name that could be won only because of a military or cultural service out of the ordinary. At first they were sent to the Wall, in an outpost called Bewcastle, to fight first with the barbarian tribes. Send somehow to the sacrifice. At a fort located in an open, wilderness, without a wall, without forests, without anything around. That, precisely because they knew their courage and devotion in the fight. They were supposed to die, but they did not die. Then they came here to Banna, and they lived here until the end. They got lands, rights, ranks. They have remained forever there in their city. Yes. They were undoubtedly among the best fighters brought here to fight at Hadrian's wall. These are facts, certainties, "says the archaeologist Robin Birley ''' , British archaeologist Director of Excavations at the Roman site of Vindolanda and head of the Vindolanda research committee . The Dacians, the Romanians ancestors..
