In the 6th century AD, during the reign of Emperor Justinian, the Roman Empire experienced an extraordinary resurgence, reconquering lands - including Italy, North Africa and Rome itself - that had been lost to the 'barbarians' a century before. Leading these campaigns, a brilliant Roman general named Flavius Belisarius - a skilled tactician, inspirational leader, pragmatic and humane. This is the story of those campaigns, as recorded by Procopius, an eyewitness to many of them, as well as other ancient historians, texts, and archaeological remains.

We hope you enjoy the ALL PARTS edition of our Belisarius series! No sponsors, seamless joins and a very small number of factual corrections. (Callinicum was fought on Holy Saturday, not Easter Sunday; Belisarius probably tried to delay the Goths at the Salarian Bridge, not Milvian.. that sort of thing). Thanks again to Legendarian for providing 'Total War: Attila' gameplay footage, links in description. And big thanks to our series consultant Professor David Parnell of Indiana University Northwest, who is well worth a follow on Twitter @ByzantineProf. If you want to watch the series with SUBTITLES, you will need to watch the individual episodes youtube.com/playlist?list=PLUOc2qodFHp8x5tpVvVyATUā€¦. And don't forget you can support our work and get ad-free early access to new videos via Patreon! www.patreon.com/EpicHistoryTV

I forgot it's not even a Hollywood movie and I was at the edge of my seat waiting for what's going to happen next. The team that created this is truly epic! Props to the voice over guy.

Dude itā€™s honesty so insane the amount of opportunities this man had to betray Justinian and didnā€™t, only for him to still be skeptical of him in the end

I can only imagine the emotions of Belisarius, and his men, as they rode into Rome after 70 years of it not being under imperial rule.

Belisarius was the General that Justinian didnā€™t deserved

The reign of Justinian sometimes feels like a dream, between the fall of the west and the arab invasions there was this brief moment where it seemed the empire is great again at its full might. But shortly after we're reminded that Rome is still falling and unable to cling on to a gone geopolitical status quo

I get more excited for these than actual movies with millions of dollars of production value, what a great way to spend 2 hours! Thanks for all the hard work!

The lifetime of Belisarius itself was like watching a 5 seasons of historical drama series involving battles, plague, and loyalty. Thank goodness this video can summarized his entire campaigns under 3 hours

I'm surprised there isn't some kind of people's choice awards for content creators because these guys definitely deserve some type of recognition for absolutely superb content like this in my humble opinion.

Belisarius have some mistakes at first, but man this general is easily one of the best in history. He won battles with armies much more smaller, poor eqquiped and with few supplies. He is a masterpiece commander and understand the mind of humans and leaders like no one else and not only that his diplomacy skills are top notch. First avoiding war with persians and second saving Rome, thank God. He has all qualities from the mos maiorum and deserve be called the last roman. Also the epic history have one of the greatest documentaries I ever seen, your team is unmatch and would make all this generals and kings happy for portraying their lives pretty well.

They need to make a series in the style of HBOā€™s ROME for Justinian and Belisarius It would be absolutely perfect

Belisarius managed to live an abnormally long life. He pops up here and there through history, but it's his achievements in the 41st Millennium that are his true crowning moments.

It sounds like General Flavius Belasarius is one of the greatest commanders of all time based on this written knowledge... There is NO EXCUSE as to why modernity does not teach more of what this man accomplished. There should be movies about Belasarius and every school should have chapters about him in history class. Very underappreciated.
