Please keep the videos coming. Loving the Eastern Roman episodes the most. Greek speaking Romans to the end๐๐ป
Excellent channel and content. You should consider publishing to alternative video platforms so we don't have to use KRclip.
I love your channel, ive been here from the start. You do a great job at telling history as its portrayed but i really hope you will discuss and talk about the truly magnanimous figure King Totila
If I were in Belisarius' place, I would've stepped down the moment Justinian announced his plan.
Just imagine how overconfident he would've been that he chose to send Belisarius with 10000 men against 40000 enemies without trying to sow internal divisions,
without providing him with complete authority over his army and,
with North Africa still prone to rebellion.
If I were in Justinian's place, I would've just tried to acquire Sicily and some other strategic places, while installing an allied king on the Ostrogothic throne.
Hey Epic History TV, are you creating your video maps by yourself?
"Better one bad general than two good ones" ~ Napoleon. This point is well illustrated in this video!
Unless you're a Stalin wannabe that puts them against eachother for your own goals.
@Skelzore Which did result in more Russian casualties than necessary. So one could argue that the same strategy would backfire on any army not as large as that of the USSR in 1945
@J Dekkers I'm pretty sure Zhukov had complete control of the army at that point.
@Parsya Ivan Konev commanded the Russians to Zhukov's south I believe
He left his comrades alone to be beaten
- about Saint-Cyr
Your documentaries have the perfect blend of information and excitement. Seriously nobody does it better, on television or youtube.
Thank you Ben!
@Epic History TV please do on king porus
@ajith sidhu He is king Puru khown as Porous to Greeks๐
@Epic History TV i totally agree with ben. Epic history has the best documentaries. remember back in the day when the waterloo video came out, I was amazed at EPTVs historical video.
These guys are out here producing TV quality documentaries (if not better honestly) for everyone to watch for free on KRclip. Amazing stuff
Justinian: โI hate Belisariusโ
Also Justinian: โI need Belusariusโ
Kinda like a toxic GF with a mood swings
Belisarius was very much Agrippa but Justinian was no Octavian
People still don't understand Narses held so much power to hide the fact he himself was the perpetrator of the Nika revolt and was sawing distrust. He was Armenian. Otherwise, how do you explain him paying the riot leaders in all honesty - is this how negotiations are made with state enemies? Armenians were marked as insubordinate in Byzantine times. They are the enemy. You can see that when viewed in perspective of terrorist negotiation principles. Giving money to the rioters is proof of criminal aid.
@harith danial indeed
Savior General
โThere is no point in being lucky if you do not have the wit to take advantage of your good fortune.โ
โ Ian Hughes, Belisarius
Did that dude make his own quote from someone elseโs quote? Thatโs some real Michael Scott energy right there.
-Wayne Gretzky, Michael Scott
It sums up Belisarius's tactics.
He only fought on his own terms so he would have an advantage. When he was not in a favorable situation he waited for his enemies to show a weakness and would strike there. Decisive and patient. Belisarius's best traits.
Twice life had offered Belisarius a kingly crown and twice he had refused.
Was this ambition?
Backhanded ambition like George Washington
But then Justinian became over paranoid about this and became distrustful of belisareus. Justinian missed an opportunity to have belisareus to take the throne in the west. He couldโve made him a puppet. Yes I get it that Justinian was scared of him becoming more powerful
Someone that shows loyalty.
Gotta love belisarius. One of the most underrated roman men in history.
Loyal, honest AND competant. That is a rare combo indeed ^^
HIs name has lived on for 1500 years i dont think hes underrated at all.
I mean he should be on the top ten list in popular imagination and I don't think he is. Kinda like Jebbe.
@Tim All thanks to Procopius
the word Roman by that time is vague, Christian general from Anatolia is as Roman as Goths themselves...
Belisarius was quite a great general. Sadly because he lived in the aftermath of the fall of the western roman empire, he is highly underrated. But if it wasn't for Belisarius, there would never have been a Byzantine golden age.
Klaudio's statement is ridiculous, Belasarius is NOT underated, rather he is widely regarded as one of the greatest generals of ancient times, right up there with Julius Caesar and Hannibal Barca.
@Dave Sisson Sorry Bro but he is underrated. There are very few books on him, and he is almost never mentioned on lists of greatest military commanders. I think he was one of the best, but my statement is not ridiculous, he is underrated.
@Dave Sisson โthree greatest generals of ancient timesโ
- doesnโt mention Alexander or scipio ?
Senna Cenna nothing "roman" about the Byzantine Empire , it was predominately Greek
@Archives of Fantasy I wrote that post in 20 seconds and just chose the first couple of famous ancient generals that came into my head to say Belasarius has the same level of respect, I wrote "THE greatest", not "three", so of course I'm not excluding Scipio or Alexander.
Procopius' accounts over the famin were haunting... Very well done to include them in the episode; these vivid words of someone who witnessed such tragedy are a remind to us all of what is war beyond the romance of tactics and heroic feats.
It was probably the worst famine in Italy ever.Thus it is remembered until today.
Loving this Belisarius series... This is how history should be taught in schools!
it cannot be. They have nowhere near enough history lessons for these details
Not really. History lessons are not there to make you hyped over the military campaigns of some general. These are unimportant side shows
Sir Edwin Gibbons epic history of the decline and fall of the roman Empire is a great start if parents wish to teach this to adolescence teacher's have enough on their plate with "mandatory" bs
@Till Tronje this. Unless you are learning about military history I don't see how hyping ancient generals serves much in learning history.
@That Indian Dude Sure but these people are what makes history so fascinating. We all learn about big events and ways empires were formed but we rarely learn about the people behind it, how they did it, and it puts perspective of how people's views have changed.
โFor not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided.โ
- Belisarius
Dude Belisarius is so loyal. Justinian was so lucky to have him
Itโs interesting that the Romans still saw the Empire as a Republic. I assume this is because of the etymology of the title of Emperor, meaning, โ1st Citizenโ, as well as the Senateโs existence contributing to the view.
Yep. They still mask the half assed monarchy as a republic, lol. This mindset is one of the most unique things about Romans; they never truly embraced monarchy in their minds, at least not for a while later. Though one can also argue that overtime the definition of "Res Publica" had shifted and tilted towards a more authoritarian form as a result of centuries of imperial rule.
"1st" is the title of "Princeps". "Emperor" means "commandant". "Res Publica" can be translated as "State" more than a type of government.
Unfortunately, that tittle dose not even exist anymore its now Dominus or 'lord' change by Diocletian in 286AD
Yes as people have said, Republic meant something very different in this time compared to the old Republic BC.
It's worth listening to the History of Byzantium podcast to learn more about how the Romans saw their government at this stage. It's maybe the most unique system in western history; an absolute monarchy, but when the dynasty is deposed the state acts as a republic to elect a new ruling dynasty.
Crazy how Milian was so far away, yet went back to the Empire.
People with a great vision. Too bad John was so stubborn.
The Chinggisid conquest began with 1,2 million tribesmen and 105,000 able troops according to Secret History. Yet they conquered lands and empires thousand miles away Qaraqorum that like 20x Mongol strength in a very short period of time in annihilation style. 92,000 Mongols wiped out the entire army of 650,000 Jurchens in 1211-1214. Belisarius was like a mosquito compared to Sube'etei and Chinggis.
@Cฦฐ dรขn Mแบกng Yet Mongolia is nothing but space between China and Russia now. Nothing significant.
@Cฦฐ dรขn Mแบกng Comparing these invasions to the campaigns of Belisarius is pointless, as historical context, logistics, objectives and historical purpose are different. The monghols only made an impact in history by destroying preexisting cultures, which had become relatively complacent and had no strategic solution to dealing with these waves of invasion. Belisarius on the other hand liberated great parts of the former WRE without looting while Europe was suffering from starvation, great internal struggles and the darkest and coldest years known to men. Neither the genius and character nor the historical significance of Belisarius can be belittled.
In my opinion going sending a small number of troops to milian bordering another power in the Gaul region behind enemy lines is dangerous and near suicidal. I wouldnt send men to a potential mission out of the reach of my main army. Belisareus shouldโve just took care of Italy and then snag milian with his army there. Itโs one thing to send small troops to do hit and run or disrupt supply lines but to occupy a city with a small army out of the reach of the main army is not a smart strategy. I know disagreements with John led to a tragedy but I wouldnโt take a city without my main army being near by to support it incase of trouble
Once again, Epic History TV shines light on another underappreciated era of history where we can envision these great figures and states
Excellent job in the animation and outstanding narration; you will be the next source of historical education at this rate.
Keep it up!
Well said.
As ever, it's the common man who suffers and dies in the wars. RIP to the untold hundreds of millions of farmers, fishermen, and other non-combatants who lost their lives because generals, kings, and emperors had to have glory and power.
As much as I love hearing about people like Alexander, Belisarius and Genghis Khan you're right. The common man was treated terribly by the hands of violent men in power.
Lol no, generals suffered and died in war, too, not Belisarius but that's not his fault. But about Decius and his son Herennius Etruscus who both died in battle at Abritus in 253? Or what about Valerian who was captured at Edessa in 260? And he suffered horrible treatment by the Persians. That's just two examples from Ancient Roman history.
@DANIEL PRADO There is no disrespect to say that man suffers in war. What of every common man who died in his conquests? Or the soldiers forced to march, quite literally, to another continent because of his ambition?
@DANIEL PRADO Alexander was a great tactician and strategist but he definitely razed cities and enslaved people. Not the greatest humanitarian. He also had a ego through the roof. There are a lot of people that suffered from his ambitions.
If there are any channel that live up to their names, its this one. Every segment of history portrayed here, truly is, EPIC!
Incredibly nice of you to add 15 subtitles compared to many History channels Thank you
Imagine being one of those two Goths traveling to Persia and seeing more world than your entire generation probably would. And all of that while acting in a spy movie.
Been waiting with anticipation for this one.
These Belisarius series are insanely good.๐
Thank you very much. ๐๐
Btw there are 10 other comments saying the same thing as your comment
The voice of the narrator is sooo epic! It makes me hungry fo new videos. I love to rewatch the Napoleon series just because this voice. There is no other channel with such classy narrator, not even the Kings and Generals
Love it. Amazing how your storytelling makes me wonder, "what happens next?" when the ending has been known for 1,500 years.
Damn John is even worse than I thought. He didn't seem like much of a moron in the last episode, but wow he was insufferable. Blame definitely goes to Justinian for not making command clear cut enough, but I definitely understand why he wouldn't.
Ironically, John was a rather capable commander overall, or at least he was considered such by his contemporaries. But he had the unfortunate fate that it would be his failures to be remembered far more than his successes.
10:16 isnโt this letter clear enough ?
John have a big ego
@Archives of Fantasy No actually, because it leaves the small technicality "in the interest of our republic", which allows Narses to ignore Belisarius's orders based on his personal opinions, if he wants to. But you could argue that this was unintentional on Justinian's part. It's hard to say though.
@Justinian the Great Yeah I got the sense he was at least competent based on last episode but it just seems like he really let his petty feelings negatively affect the campaign, and exacerbated the lack of cohesion of the army
This channel is not only as good as but actually better than most paid documentaries. Love your videos so much! This Belisarius series has been mindblowingly good. Thanks for all your work!
this is the best history channel ever by far. There is no comparison ๐๐พ
You have really blown me away with this series! Absolutely fantastic work!!
You guys are easily my favourite channel on KRclip!!! Keep up the great work, us history buffs are so lucky to have you!!! In the future, please consider doing a series on Frederick the Great; but whatever topic you choose next, you can sure Iโll be watching and loving it!
I truly love these. As one who appreciates Roman History this is an absolutely great series.
This was just brilliantly done. Thank you to EHTV as always
Belissarius, being a part of the "new people"(novi homini) class, was always met with distrust and hindering from the aristocracy. Did the most with whatever he was given and there are recordings of him giving a lot back to his veterans and the peasants. The way not only his peers and emperor, but also history in general underappreciated the man says a lot about the fate of true heroes. He was the real Jon Snow
Absolutely brilliant narration and graphics as always, I'm very much looking forward to the next Belisarius video!
Glad to see you guys still pumping out content. Premium quality as ever.
Love this series. Belisarius is one of my favorite characters from history. I remember reading about his victory at Rome in the book Tactical Genius in Battle when I was like 10 or 11. Thanks for doing this one
Thank you again Epic History. No one in youtube makes such good documentary than yours. I literally get goose bumps with excitement and joy while watching your videos. My only request is if you can make videos more often! You would be the king of history documentary!!
Belisarius is one of the most underrated generals in history
I consume a massive amount of historical and military documentaries. I've come to believe that Epic History truly is the best.โ๏ธ๐บ๐ธ
Love this belisarius series! Truly a great Roman general to admire
These are honestly the best documentaries on the topics I have ever seen. The production quality, balance between history and tension, the music, the character building. It makes them such a joy to watch.
Amazing content! The best channel on youtube from a fellow history nerd! keep up the great work!
The entire series is a work of art.
Excellent series and really outstanding animation. Looking forward to the next installment!
Belisarius career is a real life Total War general. He ought to be celebrated and studied much more!
The quote too many chefs messes with the good pot or somthing like that meshes well here. Canโt have to many ego commanders. You need one supreme commander otherwise thereโs gonna be misunderstandings.
For example having a committee run organization can never operate cause youโll have no one agree on anything and nothing gets accomplished. You need one man in charge thatโs popularly picked to run it and everything falls in. Justinian miscalculated here. If he was really concerned about bellsarius betraying him he shouldโve just had a spy network on him just to make sure heโs not showing disloyalty.
Also Justinian let his dreams and ambitions get the better of him. By focusing on Italy he neglected the east where khosrow knew he was weak. Justinian in my opinion shouldโve either worked on making a Alliance with Persia even though that sounds far fetched or just focus on beating him cause he stretched his forces to far out. Going as far as Spain. Once he died Persia would take more swipes at the Byzantines and both would end up being overwhelmed by the up in coming Muslims
Another great video on the ''Eastern'' Roman Empire and Belisarius - A somewhat what under spoken about period in history. This is a winner.
Also good to see the correct terminology is being used, ''Romans'' & ''Roman Empire'', rather than ''Byzantine'', which was never used until modern times.
I've never heard any movies about him, do you? They should make a movie about Justinian and Belisarius.
@Timothy Lee Nah, they haven't made any on the ''Eastern'' Roman Empire at all. The closest was, ''Rise of Empires - The Ottomans'', which was a good series, on the last days of the Roman Empire just before Constantinople fell.
Macedonia isnt greek
@hattori haso Actually it is. Please read a history book, before making unintelligent comments on the subject.
@Alex Hellene it wasnt
There is immense amount of epic in this video! Thank you for these amazing work!
As amazing this episode is ๐๐๐ I simply can't wait to the fight against Persia
Though my first introduction to Belisarius and Justinian was through extra history, getting down to the more finer details in these videos has been wonderful, and though telling's on how or why certain events may differ here or there I truly love both series and find them the best works to give to first timers or people who love history but have trouble going through the larger (and sometimes duller) history books, just like extra history before it I do not look forward to the end of this series because once again ill have to say goodbye to some of the greatest leaders of history all over again.
Felt really sad for Milan. Canโt wait to see the next part.
Amazing content as always!
Epic History TV > Netflix :D
Excellent series! Absolutely love it! Please please please donโt forget about Hannibal Barca. One of histories greatest General
Just phenomenal story to tell. Now Epic history I challenge you to make videos about Scipio Africanus in the days of the Roman Republic.
This campaign reminds me of the Thirty Years War. The siege of Milan reminds me very much of the siege of Magdeburg.
Great work guys, as always. I am pretty sure another great fellow of the Roman history - what's his name, ah yes! Gaius Julius Caesar - would be very pleased if he knew that your history channel was planning to make a new series of videos about his Gallic campaign and not only. So how about making a long gone roman general a little happy, wink wink ๐
Your videos are always so well-done! Keep on the good work!
When I first learned about Narses, it was around the time I started watching Game of Thrones. I always had an image of Lord Varys for some reason in my head when Narses came up, despite the mosaic in the St Vitale Church. Great to see the artistic concept of Narses.
Is like they knew he would be an arse when I was named
This series is criminally underrated.
Music + tone +choice of words + great images = great story telling as always๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
OUTSTANDING! THANK YOU, YOU GUYS, FOR SUCH A WONDERFUL, WELL MADE VIDEO! MAY YOU MAKE MORE OF THESE! ESPECIALLY, on Belisarius! Also, if you don't mind a humble suggestion, why not make a similar series on Belisarius' precursor, Stilicho? I mean, if you compare both their careers, they're practically SIMILAR! The only difference is that Belisarius was far more fortunate than his predecessor. How about it?
Great documentary thank you very much Epic HistoryTV! Keep up the good work!
Great video again. I'm entirely looking forward for more Belisarius and Napoleon of course content!
The artwork and narration is top notch as usual!
Love how you get us hooked and show what's to come in the next episode great narration
This is the best series on the subject. Extremely well done! Thank you.
The Job of this channel is great. The times in which noone dives on history lectures make it much more intresting to watch
You guys did an amazing job making this video. congrats to all that helped make this video
Awesome, this documentary is so interesting! Thanks for your contribution! You're making the difference on the teaching of History.
Excellently done video, as always. This period is the one to change the fate of the rest of the Justinian's reign and perhaps even the history of the Eastern Roman Empire as a whole. Because when Belisarius refused Justinian's peace proposal with Ostrogoths, he unknowingly prolonged this war for almost two decades, where Empire would have to spend enormous resources to finish it. Also, I'm glad that you mentioned building of Hagia Sophia, since its construction is a landmark in history of architecture.
Also, I hope that, even though it's outside Belisarius's personal story, you mention what happened with Narses and his various military victories.
Even if Belisarius had accepted Justinian's peace proposal and it had been signed as intended, it is unlikely that there would have been lasting peace. The Goths would have been sorely tempted to resume the war on their own terms once the Romans were embroiled in the war with Persia.
Another remarkable job on this important moment of history. Thank you for such an amazing illustration of Roman magnitude!
This is the best channel on KRclip. One can begin to understand the brutality of humanity's wars.
Great video! Just got back from classes and was able to watch this. How many episodes are planned for belisarius?
Belisarius until this series and donโt wanna look him up until this series over. This is fantastic
Belisarius is a freaking war demigod
i googled eunuch founded this and thought it was intersting so i guess fun fact: a eunuch is a man who has been castrated. Throughout history, castration often served a specific social function. The earliest records for intentional castration to produce eunuchs are from the umerian city of Lagash in the 2nd millennium BCE
Duh.
We weren't all born yesterday like you.
They were to serve the women in harems
Interesting and mysterious as always can't wait for the next episode!
1Amazing episode as always! Thx for this incredible series epic history!
Superb narration and animated videos of Belisarius activities.
Once again you guys have did a great job! Amazing, congratulation! keep it up yeah
Extremely well done, much appreciated ๐
Greatest series ever. Never stop making videos !
Great Video!
Both Justinian and Belisarius, in my historical analysis, really deserve the title of VLTIMVS ROMANORVM ("the last of the Romans"), including also the generals Mundus (who reconquered Dalmatia) and Narses (who replaced Belisarius in Italy).
After the campaigns carried out by Belisarius (ฮฮตฮปฮนฯฮฌฯฮนฮฟฯ), Justinian regained altogether 6 (six) former provinces of the Western Roman Empire (Pars Occidentalis): Africa Proconsularis (current Tunisia), which had been under Vandal control since the early 5th century AD (as this channel already mentioned it); Sicily (ฮฃฮนฮบฮตฮปฮฏฮฑ), which also had been under Vandal control since the 5th century; Dalmatia (current Croatia), which was conquered by General Mundus (ฮฮฟฯฮฝฮดฮฟฯ); Sardinia et Corsica (Sardinia and Corsica), which were seized by the Byzantines after Belisarius' brilliant victory at the Battle of Tricamarum (533); Mauritania Tingitana (modern Morocco); and, of course, Italy itself (ITALIA), which was the so-called "ruler of the provinces" (DOMINA PROVINCIARVM).
Rome itself, the "queen of Italy" (Regina Italiae), as I like to call it, was conquered by Belisarius in 537.
Note: Yes, Hagia Sophia was completed in the exact SAME year that Rome was recaptured by Belisarius' troops (537)!
Italy, including Rome itself, was under "Barbarian" control since 476 AD, more precisely when Romulus Augustus, the last Roman Emperor of the West, was deposed by Odoacer. Rome, in turn, had been under Ostrogothic control since 493 AD! The Byzantine/Roman reconquest of Italy during the Gothic War, therefore, was EXTREMELY significative and symbolic.
The Byzantine conquest of Rome was undoubtedly the greatest triumph of Justinian's foreign policy (RENOVATIO IMPERII).
The message was quite clear: Italy, which was once considered the "queen of the world" (RECTRIX MVNDI); the "ruler of the provinces" (DOMINA PROVINCIARVM) and the "motherland of all lands" (OMNIVM TERRARVM PARENS); was reconquered and regained by the TRUE heirs of the Roman Empire!
Moreover, Justinian also conquered a small part of the Iberian Peninsula (Hispania), more precisely the former Roman province of Hispania Baetica (modern Andalusia), including the city of Cรณrdoba itself (CORDVBA), which was both the capital of Hispania Baetica and the birthplace of Seneca. Altogether, the Byzantines conquered considerable portions of the modern Andalusian provinces of Cรณrdoba, Seville, Cรกdiz, Mรกlaga and Granada.
In fact, Justinian wanted a unified and centralized Roman Empire, whose territory, in turn, should stretch from HISPANIA (Iberian Peninsula) to Mesopotamia (Iraq); from the Strait of Gibraltar (FRETVM HERCVLEVM) to the Black Sea (PONTVS EVXINVS); and, lastly, from BRITANNIA (England) to ARABIA PETRAEA (current Jordan, Sinai Peninsula and Saudi Arabia); covering Egypt (AEGYPTVS), SYRIA PALAESTINA (former Judea/IVDAEA), which covered the modern territories of Israel, Syria and Lebanon; CYRENAICA (current Libya); Africa Proconsularis (current Tunisia), Sicily (SICILIA) and, of course, Italy itself. Justinian, in other words, simply desired to restore the power of Trajan's Rome!
And... he almost accomplished this feat! No wonder he is considered "the last of the Romans" (VLTIMVS ROMANORVM).
I like how you used the Greek (or Latin? I donโt know) names for the provinces and names. If only John wasnโt insubordinateโฆ
I respect your opinion. But Constantine XI will always be the last Roman in my heart. :,(
The "Byzantines" never considered themselves to be the "heirs of the Roman Empire", they were the Imperium Romanum in an unbroken line. An image that was also widely accepted in the rest of Europe at least up until Charles the Greats imperial coronation.
Eagerly anticipated. As always Epic History TV delivers.
This series are too good to be true, continue the hard work!!!
You have two series that made me love your channel, NAPOLEON and BELISARIUS. Still, every content you post entices me to remain subscribed.
Amazing production value and narration! Keep up the great work!
Best history Channel on KRclip ๐
I recommend you to be used by history teachers whenever I can :)
This episodes is epic as always. God job guys
Never seen a general so loyal as belisarius
16:25 A man of honour, respecting the determination of his enemy instead of rounding them up and slaughter them.
Absolutely brilliant video, great job as always,
I have a question for you; I know you use After Effects in order to animate your videos but how did you make that inky disappearing effect on your text?
Thanks :)
Thank you. I think itโs just a blur, maybe + roughen edges.
@Epic History TV Thank you so much for replying!
This is an amazing series. Thank you
I love these please upload more better than almost every show on tv love the content
Been really enjoying this Belisarius series.
Amazing as always guys!!!!! Really love every video, keep it up.
6:25 I love this art work!!! Depicts it exactly how I'd imagine it
Narses looks much younger than he would be though.
Love this channel!! Wish there was a new video every week thou. Very entertaining!!!
The "unbiased history" video actually isn't far off from what happened. I'm pretty sure the (ultimately failed) Ostrogothic resurgence wasn't due to Satan raising them as an army of skeletons, though.
I waited so long for this and it's totally worth it!
My God, the ending with Khosroe, was an epic cliffhanger...๐
Khosrau is based
Can i just say that the art of this video is just majestic !
It was perfect ! This is why I love this channel !
I'm just waiting for one thing: watch your videos on Napoleon's first Italian campaign. Perhaps videos on the Egyptian expedition and the 2nd Italian campaign and the rest of the Revolutionnary Wars.
