Tell me everything you know about the Pelagian Controversy.

Can hope for a more detailed version of a particular period? Young Ceasar or perhaps Rome before the empire.

Don't forget the aquaducts and the sanitation.

How do you divide the Roman Empire? With a pair of Caesars
FourDeathSavingThrows
But, isn't Caesar meant to be pronounced like [kye-sar]?
theImigurer
No. See-zar, the other is the old German style leader
Belthazzar
In Classics academia, we pronounce Latin with hard consonants. So it's Kai-sar (like the German Kaiser).
Belthazzar
Technically 2 pairs, since the splitting of the Roman Empire to East and West happened during the tetrarchy (4 emperors).
ExtraZOIDBERG
But the emperors had a hierarchy. Two were 'Augusti' and two were 'Caesares'. So he's technically correct, the best kind of correct.

Just finished my summer class on ancient Rome. yayy! I know what y'all are talking about! Diocletian and the Third Century Crisis FTW.

But do one about special things like which emperor had the weirdest fetish and who shat in a bath tube once just to prove a point
FilthyHobbitses
here is something for you while you wait. Emperor Valerian was supposedly forced to be a human footstool after being captured 1/2
FilthyHobbitses
by the Sassanians. Once he tried to pay a massive ransom and was then forced to drink molten lava. Fun stuff. 2/2
FilthyHobbitses
like most things these claims are disputed between scholars, but that is the popular portrayal of what happened. 3/2

If it's comprehensive it had best include the Eastern Roman Empire...

Why did I get downvoted when I posted this?

All? Now that would be something to see... THough. I think Tiberius is underrated, and quite relevant today.

I would like to see multiple posts with an extremely detailed history. I always hated History classes in the US for glazing over everything
EricMatthews
Well to be fair, it's a ton of material for any level lower than college. Unless it's a Roman history class, you have to skip a lot
SaltTitan
Dan Carlens Hardcore History is amaaaazing.

Forgot to mention it's a podcast
AMacGyver
US history...comprehensive coverage of the Civil War, WW2 from 1941 onward, and not much else.
DuckyofDeath123
What about language classes for making you think it's "glazing over" a subject, rather than "glossing over" ?
spaceasaurus
Maybe they just like donuts.
DuckyofDeath123
Who could blame them.
pugs911
It's the USA, they glaze everything
DuckyofDeath123
Which explains the anti-science movement you mean?

You should try Mike Duncan's History of Rome podcast... it's quite amazing.

My girlfriend found it for my by accident a few months ago. By far the best thing I've ever listened to on Spotify. Incredible narrative.
Shadist
His show Revolutions also is a really good. Thus far he's covered English, French, American, and Haitian. He's doing South America now.
