When you want to stop thinking about rome and then this comes along.

3 hours of blue talking about the classical world?! This is the dream!!

Today I realized: If you had no familiarity with elephants, youâd probably assume that these two-speared, snake-faced, gigantic WAR MONSTERS were probably carnivorous.

âIt doesnât take a lot of elephants to have a scary amount of elephant on the battlefield!â
Never really thought about it that way, but yeah.

Oh yes blue has joined the 2 hour video essay crew!

It was at this point that I realized that the average OSP subscriber has a better grasp of Roman history than pretty much any historical Roman did.

Imagine a thousand years later, somebody makes a similar video about the history of the fallen USA

Every channel has its 'big' project - the video that's pretty much a feature film, combining all of the skills the creators have acquired as they talk about their very own passion project. Sometimes, they have more than one. Some have no such project.
We now witness the glory that is the OSP feature - Blue talking about the Roman Empire for almost 3 hours.
You did it, Blue - you magnificent bastard! ^^

Less than 3 hours to summarize one of the largest, longest lasting, and most enfluential empires the world has ever seen. If anyone can do it, Blue can. Your content never disappoints. Thank you for this.

Remember a couple of weeks ago when Red said that we would get back to our normal programming? And then Blue decided to make this absolutely unhinged and glorious video essay?

2:07:35 - "For the average pilgrim arriving in Rome at the turn of the millennium, they might be surprised to encounter not one city, but seemingly three. The old core among the hills had become largely uninhabited, as the population clustered by the Campus Martius"
That must've been so amazing to see. To see all the buildings of Ancient/Classical Rome before they were built over. To see exactly where so many of the greatest events of the past ~1500 years had exactly occurred, but were no longer inhabited; The Theatre of Pompey, the Temple of Caesar, the Roman Forum. To see the majesty of Rome in all it's glory, it must've been so amazing, yet so saddening to see them empty and in disrepair.

This has been surprisingly emotional. I will be sure to think about the roman empire, the truly disastrous fumbling perpetually self-sabotaging old thing that it truly was

Ah, the history of Rome. I expected an Empire of your reputation to be a little more... definitive. My applause to you Blue for concocting such an excellent and thorough culmination of Roman history! But I must say, given your fondness of the subject matter (even with it being 3 hours long!) this video... it's shorter than I expected.

OkâŚ. In general we kind of understand that Blue really likes Rome, but then you watch this and realize just how much, and just how much he can eagerly talk about Rome.
Bravo Blue. Good job.

This is why men can not stop watching videos about the Roman Empire. It is just so damn cool. Wars, assassinations, people larger than life, dirty politics, violent politics, and on and on and on. How could a man with a shred of intellect not be interested in learning the history of this? It's like the second world war, its history, and it is important.

Listening to this whole thing while deep cleaning a work kitchen is brilliant. If I am in a certain spot and I look in a certain direction, a period of Roman history will flash back to me. The entire cooking line is mentally smeared all over with byzantine history, and if I ever go behind the grills and clean again, the Byzantine reconquests will start recalling.

Blue wasnât lying, Rome really is the substrate of his conscience

The Detail Diatribe wasn't kidding, Blue is on his Symbiote arc
....and the Symbiote wants to talk about Rome just as much as he does
So, 5 hour deep dive on all the nuances of Venice next week?

Interesting thing about Caesar's first co-consul, he spent basically the entire year saying that there were bad omens and thus business couldn't be done. Since Caesar was the high priest of Jupiter, he knew better and knew a delaying tactic when he saw it, so he went on to work. The Senate, including his Optimate enemies did the same thing. As a result, the Romans called it the Year of Julius and Caesar, instead of Caesar and Bibulus, due to Bibulus doing absolutely nothing.
Pompey had been married, quite happily to one of Caesar's daughters, but when she died in childbirth, the alliance was broken. Caesar, before starting his march on Rome, offered several compromises, but Cato the Younger absolutely refused them all, so he sent Mark Antony down and got him elected Tribune. The Optimates then did the worst thing possible, and attacked Antony while he was Tribune. That was a BIG no-no in Rome, so they literally handed Caesar his excuse to march on Rome.
Lepidus, far from being unimportant, actually had what could have easily been one of the most important provinces. Roman Africa was the biggest grower of grain, and supplied much of the city's food. The problem was that darn Pompey in Sicily playing at being a pirate.
The Colosseum, as a side note, was funded by the loot that the Romans took from their conquest of Judea.
