For wealthy Romans, a night on the town was an epic progress from party to party, sometimes with a few dive bars between.

So the Romans participated in the ancient equivalent to what is known in modern parlance as a “bar-crawl”. “The more things change, the more they stay the same.” Love this story. It brought a smile to my face.

*Fun fact:* Some say Emperor Caligula decided one day to explore the Roman nightlife disguised as a simple citizen and in company of his friend and famous Greek actor Mnester. It is unknown if it was out of simple curiosity and desire to have fun or due to the tragic death of his beloved sister Drusilla, since that event caused him to develop a nihilistic complex similar to that of Tiberius, which made him question the meaning of life, prompting him to leave the Palace to know about his comoners' style of life. That little excursion almost killed him, since he constantly heard people making fun of him in the streets, causing various altercations that Mnester had to stop.

It's fiction if you're interested in the truth I don't want to change your mind though I see too many portraits to see the different styles of authentic to the modern copy of fugazi. You can't forge the fact because it will lead to destruction. They honored the Republic when it was passed and present sure but to honor another and depict them as they know only what they believe reveals a lower level of mindset to understand arte a propaganda that had been used for centuries leading to ruin. Is a concern that what is read in scripture to the love of the world and not God the mind of the diabolical and the rope is paid for I'm sure to have been in better use then to be wasted on image. Pride , Vanity, Greed, Gluten, Lust it's all their in 3:17 where a wish is made but insulting everything about God's will.

4:23 Nero's hobby to disguise himself as a peasant was beautifully adapted in the docudrama "Ancient Rome: The Rise and Fall of an Empire". In that show, he, while being in company of his bodyguard Tigellinus and his wife Poppaea (who were also disguised as peasants), beats the sh*t out of an actor who made fun of him. Watching that actor suddenly realizing the man in front of him who had a chilling resemblance to Nero carried the imperial ring was just priceless!!! 🤣🤣🤣

12:28 Amethyst comes from the Ancient Greek term “amethystos”, which roughly translates to “not drunk”. It had been the object of Bacchus’ predilection since Ancient Greek times, due to its association to the nymph Amethyste, who was transformed into the crystal by Diana, as the nymph wanted to forever escape the advances of Bacchus (thus the stones mythical repellent properties against Bacchus’ stupors).

Obama did semiregularly go to restaurants while president. Lots of security of course, so he could hardly go incognito, but part of that security was that it usually was not known that he was coming, not even by the staff (so no one could prepare to do something dastardly) Probably several thousand people have looked up from their burger to realize that the president was in line, sometimes in sweats. In the past, presidential access was super casual. Pretty much anyone could go to the White House, no appointment, security check, etc. which got it trashed after Jacksons inauguration. There's a reason it was called "The People's House". That stopped as presidents kept getting shot (granted, usually while traveling) and weirdos kept using the opportunity to invade the private rooms of the president, but right up to at least the early 1900s, access to the president was controlled more by servants than by guards. And someone probably will drop by with some wild story about Teddy Roosevelt.

Dr. G... That was SPLENDID. You are the heir of Ovid or at least of Terentius. I cannot believe how much I enjoy your posts! Here's a more modern take on the same 'slumming' thing. One night when the court of Louis XIV was still in the Louvre his younger gay brother, 'Monsieur', and his precious friends, went for a stroll to what is the area around la Vielle Bourse. Kind of the Greenwich Village of its day. They had linkmen bearing torches but as they passed through an area of slaughterhouses that drained into the Seine, they didn't notice the sheets of blood over the cobbles. As another doctor said, and I refer to Dr. Hannibal Lecter, blood is quite black in the moonlight. They returned to the Louvre and were initially appalled that their beautiful Italian shoes with high silk covered cork heels were stained bright red! The next day, faute de mieux, they wore their shoes and the court went wild. A trend that has continued up to the present with the Loubotin red soles for rich tarts of today!

These videos are so great. I watched the Dutch Indian company one. Love how you really walk us through an actual day, details are spot on.

I will never get tired of "a day in the life of..." stories. The more detailed the anecdote, the more fascinated I find myself.

I always thought there weren't really any bars/restaurants in the west before the rise of inns in the middle ages! I knew about tavernas but never that they had indoor seating or booths even...

Sounds like a typical night on the town for me 10 years ago. Cool to think the average guy now lives much better than ancient rulers did. People should learn to appreciate that.

Your channel is the closest that I will come to my dream of traveling back in time to ancient Rome. Keep it up!

Not only is this and the 1st one I came upon about dogs incredibly presented, but there are many comments with detailed information from the viewers! I need a pen and notebook !

You have really settled into your own unique style. I love watching your content develop. You are fascinating to listen to. I love the simplicity and restraint of not over editing your video. The simplicity might bore some but to me it gives greater emphasis to your carefully constructed script. Don’t burn yourself out too you have such high level of quality I can’t imagine how long you must spend writing.
