📚 My favorite novel about the late Roman Empire, "Julian" by Gore Vidal: amzn.to/3mZwOdJ
📚 BEST BOOKS ON ROMAN HISTORY: 📚
1. "History of the City of Rome in the Middle Ages" by Ferdinand Gregorovius amzn.to/3yOvjEd
2. "Rome: Profile of a City, 312-1308" by Richard Krautheimer amzn.to/3yyChgp
3. "Rome: An Urban History from Antiquity to the Present" by Rabun Taylor amzn.to/322ClsZ
These are all excellent books if you are like me, absolutely fascinated by the transition of Rome from late antiquity to the early medieval period.

Considering how many trials The Eastern Roman empire had to face with almost no rest it was a massive achievement that a state in any shape was left in 1453.

Byzantine empire is truly the empire that would not die. On the brink of destruction at least 3 times and always managed to claw back until the end. The fact the city got sacked and conquered and they still managed to cling on another 200 years is impressive. They had no give up.

Its depressing how often - round the world - artefacts, buildings and art that had survived for centuries, even millennia - were destroyed, sometimes in a matter of weeks or even days by attackers who neither knew nor cared what they were destroying.

Goes to show that the Empire pre-1204 still held a lot of Imperial dignity. The Empire was truly “Roman” in the sense of its power projection, magnificence, economic strength and it’s cultural impact. The three good Komnenoi Emperors themselves were truly worthy of being called Roman Emperors. What was lost during the sack of 1204 cannot be overstated enough.

I wish that someone would make a render of what the Hagia Sophia looked like as an Eastern Orthodox church with all of its holy icons still intact. It would make this Orthodox girl so happy!

Thank you for making this video and to all the sponsors! Indeed the suffering of Rhomania(Roman Empire) and Rhomei(Romans, Anatolian Greeks, "Rum" in Anatolia they are called) is very moving. My grandfather was Rhomeos, my father used to tell us many stories about him. We are the grandchildren of them in some sense. We have to protect our common heritage. Today, in reaction to Erdoghan's conversion of Hagia Sophia, a new wave of awareness starts to rise. The Palace of Boukoleon along with the walls of the old city is started to get restorated. They have also opened a new excavation site for the Hippodrome to restore it. We can only hope and struggle to protect magnificient Roman civilization.

You've got a real talent for immersive storytelling. If you write books, I'll buy them.

The artists who contribute to this channel deserve high praise. It makes me feel like I am there.

It baffles my mind that someone born in the Eastern Roman Empire would be alive to see the discovery of America

Another excellent video. As someone who studied the Ostrogothic Kingdom at university if you ever wanted to do a walking tour through Ravenna then that would be great to see. Keep up the good work!

Those Western Crusaders paved the way for an Islamic take-over of Anatolia, Greece, the Balkans, and almost further had the Muslim advance not been stopped in Austria.

I am glad that you imply that the apogee of the Eastern Roman Empire ("Byzantine") was not when it was trying to reconquer Rome etc. It was during its Macedonian dynasty (10th century), when the empire concentrated on what was possible rather than wasting its strength on pursuing dreams.

Can't wait for your videos on the sack of 1204 as well as the Ottoman conquest of 1453. Keep them coming, please!

Danke für die Videos über Konstantinopel ich schreibe gerade in der Schule eine Arbeit über das Byzantinische Reich und solche Videos helfen enorm. Vor allem sich das ganze auch bildlich vorstellen zu können und nicht nur stumpf Zahlen auswendig zu lernen. Ich bin sehr dankbar für deine großartige Arbeit und hoffe von Herzem das noch weitere Videos zu diesem faszinierenden Thema folgen werden.

Eastern Roman history narrated by Arnold Schwarzenegger, the crossover I never expected.

The Ottomans actually restored the city to what it was once in the 5th and 6th century under the Eastern Romans. Then for about 200 years under the Ottomans from the 15th and 16th century then it also went into decline.

Great video - again. I love your channel. Are you going to do a "walking around Constantinople in the year 1400?" that would be interesting. I also think you should do a video on Roman Britain - I know you did one on London before.
