Up until now, Nerva was just a name in a list of emperors to me. Thank you for making such a detailed documentary about him.

Glad we are getting videos on all the Roman Emperors, am kinda sad you guys left out the year of the 4 emperors

@Jackaljkljkl Ай бұрын

Surely, they did Vespasian already?

@smittywerbenjagermanjensen320 5 күн бұрын

The year of the 4 emperors was covered in a video about one of the emperors (I forget which one exactly. Might have been Vespasian’s)

Underrated emperor. He solved the sucession problem, and Rome was great for about 100 years.

@TrainerRed519 Ай бұрын

There are alot of great titles in history however to be one of the five good emperors just seems extra special in some way

And by adopting Trajan, Nerva did probably the best decision of his rule(he was forced yea, but still...). Trajan was the Optimus Princeps.

I always liked the idea of him being a spymaster. He's a great character in Simon Scarrow's novels.

Thanks great doco. Caligula had a difficult upbringing, for a good deal of the time he was a virtual prisoner of Tiberius. There were reports that to get a clean transition of power he chose his moment and smothered his uncle in his palace on Capri. I have also read that Caligula's proposed appointment of his horse to the consulate was a pointed 'poke in the eye' of the equies (knights) class designed to mock their pompous ways.

@biographyjourneyinsights Ай бұрын

I think Nerva was just a powerless emperor who couldn't control the army and had to ask for help by choosing Trajan as his successor to save his life.

@fabiodeoliveiraribeiro1602 Ай бұрын

This is certainly not a very well-known or fashionable Roman emperor. Nerva is generally eclipsed by bestial emperors (Caligula and Nero), by emperors who stood out for their high virtues (Marcus Aurelius and Trajan), for their weaknesses (Claudius) or for their ability to reinvent Rome after a civil war (Augustus and Vespasian). Nerva appears to have been politically skillful and ruthless, otherwise he would not have risen to the position of emperor. But nothing indicates that Nerva was bloodthirsty or especially wicked, otherwise he would be as famous as Nero and Caligula. We must assume that Nerva enjoyed some prestige among the Roman military, as this had already become an essential key to Roman politics.

"...please let us know in the comments section..." Ok. Writ large between the lines - first Gay Emporer of Imperial Rome. Sounds like a smooth operator. Good on him. BTW. Great video which gained one new subscriber, although the RP narration grates just a tad.

Domitians persecution of Christians was severe and he tried to kill the apostle John but couldn’t so he exiled him to Patmos. Nerva stopped the persecution of Christians and onerous taxes on the Jews. He showed great kindness to the early followers of Christ.

Truth be told he wasn't actually good only good thing that he did is adopt Trajan to be his heir

And he was essentially forced into the decision anyways. But hey, give the guy some credit for the Nerva-Antonine Dynasty 🤣

Nerva put Rome on the correct road for the next 80 years. He established a presidence that lasted for a long time where the Senate had just about the correct amount of power and prestige.

@WillOfFiree Ай бұрын

Your new empire?

@jeffyoung60 18 күн бұрын

Nerva reigned only two years. But it was long enough to restore a great measure of political stability to Rome. His greatest accomplishment was to appoint a highly capable successor, Trajan. Nerva thus initiated the effective Roman custom of the emperor appointing a capable successor. The tragedy was emperor Marcus Aurelius breaking the tradition by appointing his dissolute, reprobate son, Commodus, as successor. That Commodus was completely unlike his wise father lends more to the wide suspicion that Commodus' real father was a gladiator whom Marcus' wife allegedly enjoyed a sexual experience known today as, a one-night stand. Marcus Aurelius remains an admired Roman emperor today. Yet few know that Marcus Aurelius was behind a renewal of Christian persecution during his reign.

I know it's the accent this fella has, but I find myself screaming 'goddammit!! There is no L in Nero's name! It's NERO . NOT NERLO!' rolling your tongue while speaking English has to be the most excessively unnecessary affectation you can intentionally do while speaking it.
