Love your videos๐
Truly Epic VOice the narator has
"Epic"
This was amazing!!
This really makes my day, God bless you all โค
Belisarius achievements should have entitled him to be "Julius Caesar of the Eastern Roman Empire"
Love ur vids Scorpo
Of the whole Roman empire
hi
Hell no, Julius Caesar was way more than just a general. Belisarius lacked the "social genius" that Julius had.
Seriously though No.
" For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided. "
- Flavius Belisarius.
๐ฅ
"In the jungle when the enemy is behind you, he is surrounded by all sides."
- WWII British general I don't remember his name.
Well said ๐
Rise of Kingdom
and superior weapons , not always, but without physical weapons ,you have Gods intervention.
10 thousands reinforcements arriving at the battle, bringing the Persian forces to 50 thousands.
Andreas : "49.998"
49,991
7 were killed in the first cavalry patrol determined to check the strength of the Greek Byzantine Romans
8 thousand died and the rest ran away ๐ how could 49.998 lose to 25000? It just shows how incompetent those generals were.
@Abdi libaax a waryaa historian like me lol salamat
@Abdi libaax very simple, once an army broke - that's when the real casualties began
WHAT'CHA GONNA DO, PERSIA...WHEN ANDREAS AND HIS 24 INCH PYTHONS RUN WILD ON YOU!
Belisarius deserves his place next to Julius Caeser and Scipio Africanus.
Yes but hardly anyone knows him
@A Friendly Cadian That's his point
Funnily enough, in such company its hannibal whose the odd one out.
He gets a fair if sketchy shake in Adrian Goldsworthy's study of great Roman generals, In the Name of Rome.
and heraclius
"He will be remembered as Rome's last great general"
He will be - once Epic History TV is done.
to be fair, Dovahatty got there before, and just as epic and highly unbiased, the way we like it lol (it's the reason why I'm here right now)
@Roman Arriaga yeah, but heraclius tho?
@John Pattenden Basil II as well
@MegasAlexandrosTV true true
Basil the Bulgarslayer:Ahemโฆyouโre forgetting someone?
This was the first Documentary of The Eastern Roman Empire I've watched without a single word of "Byzantium". Awesome
precisly
It's actually Byzantium
Rome fell only in 1453 ! "Byzantium" was Rome.
I think that was because Rome was still latin at this time
EXACTLY
Another documentary of epic history about an epic general in an epic time era in an epic video with an epic voice from Epic History TV. ;)
What an epic comment
@Python Html Java What an epic reply
what an epic thread
What an epic...just...what an epic!
@HoKc What kind of epic will epic post after this epic series ? the epic story of the epic Caesar ?
So excited you guys are doing Belisarius, what an underrated military genius
oh Eric Flint is the author
@TiJo Typo Thank you, will definitely check it out
@Ismet Durmaz rubbish.
They were Romani.
1453 ๐ก
@GreyWolfClimber true, but Western Rome has much more coverage and lots of information about it compared to the East and it tells you something.
Well, your video turned better than even I thought would be! Didn't know you were going to cover Calinicum as well. It's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I hope that the rest of the series goes as well as this. Justinian and his crew like Belisarius, Theodora and Narses deserve more coverage than they currently get and I'm sure that you will give them the story they deserve.
You're not great.
The author gets the identity of emperor Justinian Wrong It seems like he never heard of Tauressium today located in Skopje Macedonia??
@Pimpin Toads Why not?
There is already some good content about Belisarius and Justinian on the historical side of KRclip but this goes above and beyond it, simply amazing!
No kidding
I cannot express enough joy to see such a topic picked up, and produced in such a manner like that which mesmerized us for so long, during the entirety of the Napoleonic Wars series. The maps, troops display, battle developments, even the sound effects - and gosh, the narration.
Absolutely hooked on this new series, what a joy!
532AD
Never did I think such a date, read aloud, would send a shiver down my spine
This brings back memories when I was a kid watching Extra History's Justinian series.
Same. I can't wait Belisarius' journey.
Wow itโs been that long?I remember watching it around 5 years ago as a young teen along with the first crusade on this channel, crazy to think now Iโm a adult in college potentially getting my degree in history.
Same here
such a great series, hopefully this will be just as good :)
Thanks for making me feel old guys! ;)
Imagine being the emperor and your best friend is the commanding General of your army โฆ
That was not exactly unprecedented in history.
Pretty Justinian got lucky his friend is so good, apparently he promoted him based on their relationship at first...
Alexanderโs right hand man was his childhood friend aswell.
Octavian and Agrippa
Majorian and Ricimer...oh wait this one didn't end well.
I cannot stress enough how good the animations, illustrations and maps are !
We all knew that the narrator was one of the best in the KRclip game but man, the visual quality struck me in the doc !
They need to make a tv series like the show "Vikings" about Justinian, and Belisarius.
Some thing Alexander has one coming soon brother stay tuned
โSome thing Hannibal would be awesome, i know i really enjoyed the BBC documentary on him with Alexander siddig
About whole Eastern Roman Empire, some 20+ seasons or so, That would be really EPIC!
@Martin Boลกkoviฤ There TONS of Eastern Roman history to draw from!
i think about that a lot about the Romans it would last like 20 seasons with no filler material
"I couldn't think of a finer man for the task: retake the former Western Roman Empire from the barbarians, deliver it to our beloved emperor on a plate... these games should be in YOUR honour.
When I heard Justinian had you in mind, I can't say I was surprised. After all, you were his fatherโs favourite bodyguard, not to mention your accomplishments at the Battle of Dara, or the way you suppressed the riots in Nikaโฆ You are the last of the great commanders, and your loyalty is clearly above question.
However, the ruins of Rome are a wild and unpredictable place; a lot can happen out of reach in these frequent wars. A man might look about him and think perhaps that it is all rightfully his...
*GOOD LVCK, BELISARIVS..."*
Suppressed the riots in Nika BRUH
@Charles McGill Yeah I know that's what he says in the trailer XD it's dumb but hey
@Youve Been Greeked from where ist this?
@Moritz Tabor From Attila Total War
@IronDuke Alright thanks
Whilst itโs true to say that the cavalry became more prominent, one should not underestimate the strength and versatility of the infantry. Far from a glorified meat shield, enemies of Rome that thought the spearman was the soft underbelly of the Roman army were quickly surprised when they didnโt just break apart at the first charge.
Indeed, the new Protostate infantry combined features of the old legion and the phalanx, and tactically complements the armored archer cavalry. Their 2-meter long spears, when anchored on the ground, were designed to stop cavalry charges. They were also armed with bows & arrows and use the longer spatha sword instead of the gladius of the republican period.
The old legion gave Rome mastery of the Mediterranean world, but it was ineffective against the horse archers of the Persians and the Huns. Everybody knows of Crassus' disastrous end at Carrhae but not even Caesar himself would have done any better against Parthia.
In a sense, the new combined arms doctrine of the Eastern Romans was a revival of Alexander's tactics, with the infantry serving as the anvil to hold the enemy while the cavalry sweeps from the flanks.
@Eldian Supremacist Lol buddy you only know of Carrhae?.. Do you know how many times Rome burnt the Parthian capital after that?
@Eldian Supremacist
Caesar would have done just fine. You realize that Marc Antony invaded Parthia and succeeded, right? This was shortly after the Crassus debacle.
Belisarius and Justinian could've been the next Agrippa-Octavian, if only Justinian had his bro's back like Octavian did.
What do u mean!!
@napolien 1
Spoiler alert: Belisarius' wife shits the bed, Theodora takes her side and actively persecute Belisarius and Justinian does jackshit to help him. Some sources claim Belisarius was put down to a position where he literally had to beg for his daily bread.
@napolien 1 After pretending to take the Ostrogothic crown at the end of Belisarius' campaign of the Ostrogoths made Justinian suspicious that he might someday actually try to do that. Remember, popular generals often tried to install themselves as Emperor, even in the Eastern Roman Empire so it wasn't entirely irrational of Justinian to think that.
Hell, when he got sick of the Plague and thought to be dead, many people were thinking and arguing for Belisarius to take the purple and crown himself emperor, despite him stating that he wasn't interested one bit in that.
@Princeps Civitatis thats a myth
@Claudiu-Mihai Puiu
The atmosphere you describe (where generals vied for power) was the exact same, if not more extreme, when Octavian established the Triumvirate and later, the Principate.
He could've just as easily done Agrippa when people like Salvidienus, Maecenas, Antony etc... actively encouraged him to.
Justinian was simply an oaf when it came to recognizing people for who they are and even worse individual when it came to the bro-code.
This is where the fun begins!
Ever since Extra History covered the reign of Justinian have I been interested in this story!
Such an underappreciated General! If the Plauge had not showed up to derail all that he and Justinian had done! Who knows what course history would have taken!?
Belisarius, restorer of Roman prestige
Aetius, destroyer of the Huns
Majorian, reconquer of Gaul,
Basil ll, the Bulgarian slayer,
These were the last true Romans.
I find this title "last true Roman" dull and false, but it's probably because Belissarius is the last Latin speaking great Roman general.
Nikephoros Phokas and John I Tzimiskes were better generals than Basil II, but Basil in General for me is the best emperor of the middle ages but don't forget The white dead of the Saracens (sounds so cool).
No love for Heraclius or Maurice?
@Christos I think whe had an excellent knowledge of greek
Aetius was half Iranian Scythian Origin and Belisarius lost 2 war vs Sassanid Empire
Its really disappointing that Justinian and Belisarius aren't remembered alongside the greatest Roman leaders
Its because its only Eastern Rome. Not the West and East together
@arche Flavius Aetius is bette remembered even though he was from just the Western Roman Empire.
@Rennor they are though
Heโs literally Justinian The Great
@Rennor
Because he was around during the time of the United Roman empire, both east and west
Another superb addition, Toby. Belisarius was truly one of the greatest generals in any age. One wonders what could have been had Belisarius accepted the Gothic offer to become Emperor of the West. Would Justinian have agreed to it? Because on hopes Justinian would see the immense benefits of a pacified and united Italian Peninsula and North Africa. He knew Belisarius had little love for ultimate power, so Justinian could rule as Senior Augustus. With a secure power base and with the Goths tied to the Empire, it would have made the reconquest of Hispania, Gaul and Britannia much more simple.
sup Bernadotte, the long ass names and titles.
Feels good to have descendants still reigning till this day eh?
@DerpyNerdy It does! One throne, and direct descendants on four more. The second oldest reigning dynasty in Europe. Not bad for a man who enlisted as a private at the age of 16. And, one notes, with the help of Epic History, the long-delayed rehabilitation of my reputation is beginning.
Also Germanius who married the Gothic princess. Had he lived he may have succeeded Justinian and been King of the Goths.
@Crown Prince Sebastian Johan of Ponte Corvo
hehehe napey is jealous
@DerpyNerdy Bonaparte was always jealous of Bernadotte and his "Belle Jamb."
Great video! Both Justinian and Belisarius deserve more attention then they've previously had. Great to see them finally getting it ๐๐๐
agree 100% there are so many more underrated ones tho
Justinian gets plenty of attention.
Everybody who knows about Hagia Sophia knows who he is. That includes many thousands of tourists every year.
@GreyWolfClimber Okay BlackSheepSwimmer
If you get a chance, check out the 'Belisarius series' books by David Drake and Eric Flint. First one in "An Oblique Approach".
Basic plot is two AI from the future are sent back to the past to change history. One wants to make a perfected caste system to purify humanity and takes over Malwa India. The other wants to make a humanity that welcomes differences and goes to Rome to help out. 6 books total
It's really incredible how fast you guys do make videos, this time is just insane for a video of 23 min and with those graphics + history research+ ... Once again incredible job, really great how you put the viewer into the timeline and how you make him stay until the end of the video. Belisarius and Justinian are some of the most interesting parts of the Medieval period. (Also I liked this small detail when you said Serbia instead of North Macedonia xD ). + I saw in the secret history you have another name that's called Anekdota, anekdota in Greece is known as the word jokes in English/American.
I actually enjoy these a lot more when you guys use boxes/rectangles to tell the story instead of clips from Total War.
The fact that this quality of content is free on the internet shocks the life out of me
One of my favorite generals from history. So glad see you doing a series on him!
Congratulations on reaching 1 million subscribers, you guys deserved it.
This narrator and the music really puts the 'EPIC' in Epic History TV.
I wonder if he's a sound-alike, or if they've digitized John Hurt's voice for uses such as this.
@Cowboy Flipflop It is possible these days.
Music is epic
@Cowboy Flipflop I have met Charles Nove in real life it is not and edit
True!the voice and the music at beginning so majestic
Masterpiece! No more words to describe it. Perfection by epic history TV once more. Cheers from Portugal!
If I remember the character of Bel Riose in Isaac Asimov's popular sci fi series "Foundation Trilogy" is inspired from Belisarius.
Bel Riose had almost reestablished the dying Galactic Empire for his Emperor Cleon II but at the end he received a really dreadful end. After his end the empire truly died as in the next story we realise that Trantor (capital of the Galactic Empire) has fallen.
Just when I think you can't get any more awesome, you find a way to push back the frontiers of awesomeness!
The long conflict between the Romans and the Persians is absolutely fascinating.
P.S.: The artwork is sublime. Keep up the amazing work.
This isn't content, it's a masterpiece! I love the quality you guys achieve. Your Napoleonic series is one of my favorite history pieces ever.
I really hope the patrons bring forth a video series on heraclius one day, the more attention on byzantine history the better.
It was a pleasure to help, guys! Thanks again for reaching out to me!
your shots are clean! i kinda prefer them more to the ones used in Kings And Generals (:
@- Thanks man, appreciate it!
no problem, im glad you guys gave credit to what mods you used. it's not something i see all the time ;)
Would love to see a series about khosrau anushirawan (think thatโs right ) he was justinians main rival during this time and was ruler of the Sassanid empire and also fun fact he was the one who imported chess from India into Europe
The best epic History Channel ever and Charles Nove's voice is soothing,watching all the way from Zimbabwe!
This is amazing and i'm glad that the documentaries are getting even better. Hopefully the next episode comes out soon because i already can't wait for it lol
One of the best channels on KRclip right now, hands down! A thorough explanation of the background events, in addition to a supreme Tactical and Strategic analysis of the conflict. The narrator's voice, turns each video into a real experience. Truly Epic, and thank you for the enormous effort.
Belisarius is an amazing figure he stands tall among the greatest Romans
In love with this charismatic general since I read Robert Graves' "Belisarius" when I was a teenager
Me too!
also love that novel! surprisingly very historically accurate for a fiction work.
Aye?I have not heard of this book,I will be looking to find it
Belissarios by Robert Graves an excellent book
@DIMITRIOS VLISSIDES I shall read it and see for myself how good it is thanks for the heads up
Great to see my friend Legendarian working with Epic History ๐๐ป
At last my boy belisarius got the respect that he deserved.
Iโve seen many brilliant individual battle reviews of Bellisariusโs. I have been waiting for someone to do an overview of all his accomplishments. ๐
Ever loyal to his emperor, one of the great strategic minds on the battlefield. What a man!
I just love Procopius' narration of his observations and reflections of them. I relate to him so much!
The only history channel worth watching, a lot if not most channels do โmistakesโ or revision history now a days especially when it comes to Greece and Rome, but you guys have always been consistent and even give sources while others donโt, thank you for having integrity and defending historical truth.
So you donโt believe them even if they know what there talking about you must have a big ego
@Natalie Kennedy what does ego have to do with someone being trusting or not?
Kings and Generals?
A small mistake perhaps, but it must be said Thrace is not a part of Serbia; it is the territory West and North-West of Constantinople, being rather a part of Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey.
What do you mean by 'revisionist history? History itself is revision, historians are revisionists. I think you mean distortionist history.
Dear Count Belisarius reminds me somewhat of the great Khalid Ibn al-Walid. Both won many victories despite being outnumbered and used guile to overcome the more numerous enemy. They also suffered unjustly at the hands of their sovereigns due to the jealously and palace intrigues of lesser men and were stripped of their rank and rewards. Both men deserved better ends.
Yi Sun Shin too!
Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, was not treated unjustly from Umar R.A. The reason he was stripped of his rank was because the men started to think victory came with Khalid Ibn Al-Walid, Umar R.A wanted to reinstate the fact that victory comes only from Allah (God). Thatโs basically it.
Sandpeople *YAWN*
One of the most underrated commanders ever, thank you for talking about him.
What a masterful presentation! The Eastern Roman Empire has been a long-neglected subject on this channel; great to have a well-rounded study of their most famous general to kick off what one hopes will be a comprehensive treatment. BTW don't usually like Total War clips interspersed with the narrative--too often they prove distracting as well as inapropos-- but in this case they complement it nicely. Cheers!
Another fantastic video. Even though I knew the story I was engrossed from beginning to end. Great work!
Just finished Julius Caesar series by Kings and Generals and now this, I love it!
Again an high quality documentary. Thank you for the hard work Epic History TV ๐
The illustrations in this are phenomenal.
this channel has an incredible inspiring force
it makes me want to do a similar work focused on the history of my country, Italy
Obrigado por esse vรญdeo traduzido, sou muito grato e aguardo a parte 2
I am absolutely thrilled for this series!! Today is a damn good day. Keep up the brilliant work
Okay this is the best Channel I've ever stumbled upon... the other night I just watched the Napoleon special, it was amazing!! Thank you to all who create these amazing pieces about history!
I Love watching Epic History TVโs docs! I would love to see future series on Rome like the Punic Wars and Caesarโs campaigns in Gaul and beyond. As well lesser covered topics like the Thirty Years War and Ancient China.
Theodora, what a woman? She is definitely deserving of the royal purple and title of empress. ๐๐
I'm glad to see that you are ramping up production on new videos! You even manage to keep the high quality you are known for! Awesome!
Such an epic amount of quality put into this, amazing work!
Canโt believe how far this channel has come. I still remember when it only had 200k subs... Best history channel on youtube ๐ฏ๐ฏ
Epic time for Epic videos,as always. Thank you for your huge work in education. Love from Russia โฅ๏ธ
Big Billy did his damnedest to bring back the glory days of the empire, but was always going to struggle against time. Much like Alexander, having no proper successor meant his short term gains would never be stable beyond his lifetime.
Thanks so much for bringing this part of roman history to life with exquisite illustrations, scripting, narration and digital battle re-enactment.
This narrator ranks among the best I've heard in any history channel.. He adds a special element of prestige to these videos and is a big part of why I keep watching Epic History TV videos.. Kudos!
Informative, nuanced and amazing narration. Keep up the amazing work! ๐๐คโจ
This channel is amazing, the narration, the music, the animation quality, it makes learning about history as exciting as watching a movie. Only few documentaries feel both educating and captivating and this channel does a better job of it than any TV series I know.
Just watching the intro gives me goose bumps! The last great Roman general! ๐ฅ
Definitely not last great Roman general.
Fantastic opening to this series; everything was on point from the research, to the eye candy, and the audio. Couldn't ask for a better delivery and I can't wait for the continuation.
After seeing this intro I was thinking: '''This will be an epic series!!!''
Looking forward to the comming parts!
One of the most underrated figures in ancient roman history
I truly cannot wait for the next episode. Thanks epic history tv team for everything you do
This is easily the best history channel on KRclip. Amazing production values and spectacular narrator.
I want to tell you your history videos are amazing and you are a amazing channel so thank you for your amazing content keep up your amazing work
Imagine Justinian, Theodora and Belisarius ruling in times of peace.
Rome would have another golden age.

This is amazing, I am looking forward to the next episode Epic History!
Pure epicness. Can't wait for the next one!! Thanks as always to EHTV
INCREDIBLE as always! WOW! :)))) You guys know your craft well, probably the best history channel on KRclip. :)
Belisarius, the unsung hero of the Byzantine Empire.
@ฮกฯฮผฮฑฯฮบฯฮฝ ฮ ฯฯ
Imagine posting nonesense comment about Byzantine.
Eastern Roman Empire*
@Navi, The Real Fairies Queen Former YANG. Imagine being jobless and replying to those nonsense comments while lying on your sofa. Great life you got there mate.
@Muchen Tuchen
I do have part time job. The ways it is.
@Epic History. Once again you do us a great honor with your remarkable narration of historical work.
Probably the world best narrator voice ๐๐๐โค๏ธ๐น ๐ช
Science, history, cultures whatever the topics are , this man voice will turned them into the gold
So happy to finally see historical videos on one of the greatest generals of all time!
Among KRclip history channels, Epic History is the top one for me. Quality and detail like no other. Especially their videos on the rankings of the Marshals of Napoleon, one can tell the vast amount of effort research itself would have taken. Thumbs up and keep it going to all at the team.
Great Video Epic History, Thanks From Brazil!!!
Obrigado por compartilhar essa incrรญvel parte da histรณria!
This channel is amazing!Keep up the great work guys.
Simply EPIC!!! The narration is brilliant and very detailed. Looking forward to the next one.
First minute into the video and I already have goosebumps!
Outstanding video. Can't wait for more
As a fellow citizen of this era.. how much would I love to live a simple but dangerous life full of adventures to never keep ya bored back then ๐ข. But anywho it was a great video non the less, I learned more history from this channel than the 5 years I was forced to learn it in school.. about my country.. about other countries... I just love it!.
This channel has posted the best historical videos I have seen. The quality of the information, the manner in which it is presented and the narration are all excellent. Thank you so much.
This is absolutely amazing! I only hope you guys do one on heraclius as well
This video is brilliant!๐๐
Sir we need you again
I have to remark on the music in all of your videos, it really creates an awesome atmosphere for the topic showed in them. Great work as always!
Yes! I've been waiting for a series on Belisarius! So often overlooked
Very impressed with the video! Excellent narration accompanied by great graphics and artwork. Enough context was provided to understand what was happening around the empire during these events. Keep it up, and looking forward to the next videos! Subscribed
