Domitian was a great emperor . he did what very few heads of state accomplished. He cracked the inflation code.

@georgepatton93 Ай бұрын

an extremely efficient administrator and economist, Domitian was an example of how robust the Roman economy could be and how it help support Rome's legions and future campaigns, but unfortunately, due him growing up in the brutal Roman politics world, he despised the Senate and the senators, made too many enemies, and that led to his own assassination

Real shit just said the same he knew exactly how the senate was and by then there Just a bunch of useless self serving politicians he was right to not care about them. Many emperors didn't even look towards them but they stayed in Rome so they were vulnerable. Diocletian was smart he didn't stay in Rome at all only went one time and absolutely hated it lolll

It seems Domicius had two terrible defects: one was the ability to keep the empire united, peaceful and carrying out its main administrative and military activities; the other was dedication to the public cause. He stood out neither for Nero's excesses of personal display, nor for Caligula's cruelty, nor for Julius Caesar's ambition of immortalization through military conquests. In a world where noble and proud young men yearned for great things or for great inhuman exaggerations that would compel them to act, Domicius was an emperor who made the Roman elite bored. And as we know, the Romans were terrible enemies when they were angry and in a position to avenge an offense, but they were secretive and virulent friends when they died of boredom.

Tyrant would just mean someone with absolute power. Also thats just what the senate and contemporaries would say about someone they don't like.

@marei7290 Ай бұрын

I still have a negative view of Domitian, I think he was really incompetent, his behavior with the Ghatti and with Dacia, show his military incompetence, and his adversity with the senate and the philosophers is a bad sign.

@dominicp9296 17 күн бұрын

He was truly a great emperor he saw the senate for what they were a useless conclave of rich men who only cared about power/person gain. So once he died they were still around and they absolutely hated him so thats why they wrote so much bad about him. But he doesn't deserve the hate he reminds of cladius he was very good also the only good emperor after agustus. The only good emperor in the Julio claduian dynasty i meant. Tiberius was good at first also but ya lol. And the other 2 were just mad

I love how the Roman "wall" against my distant ancestors was basically a long garden fence to keep cattle thieves and opportunists out 😂 Somehow, this looks more like some kind of border immigration control than actual military fortification. To be fair, the Chinese Wall did not really work as intended, so maybe the Romans were just more realistic about it 😏

Guys from this channel, wherefrom did you conclude that Dacians are of Asiatic origins??? Don't create new historical "jokes" and check where ever you want that Dacians (Getae) are the Northern branch of Thracians. Or this is what you want to say that Thracians are Asiatics???!!!
