The Bloody Story Of How Augustus Became Rome's First Emperor | Empire Of Blood | Odyssey

I wish i couod go back in time and visit Rome at its peak

Ok romans speaking german...no cool

Ze Romans are coming!

The German savages broke through the Roman frontier earlier than the history books said. Still love it.

Ave Divus Augustus!

I bet alivia said fuck you larry david for sure.

The Romans spoke modern German, cool.

Idiotic.
He used his armie(s) to gain power.
What else is army for?🤔🤔🤔🧐

According to Svetoniy Tranquill, pretty much all Romans knew the secret (of Polichinel) of Tiberiy's true parentage.
They invented the wit targeting Livia:
Those, who're lucky, deliver baby on the third month (of pregnancy)
August "confiscated" Livia from her husband when she was between 6 and 7 months pregnant.

Tiberiy was one of the most brilliant generals of the entire Roman Empire.
What has not been accomplished or lost by his predecessors, he has gained or restored.

Is it me, or are these guys speaking German? 😂

Remeber what they have taken from us

Most impressive part about Romans during Augusts’ reign? Their impeccable grasp on the modern German language. 😂

English historians may attack Augustus by saying that, but remember English historians call Evangelical Puritan General Oliver Cromwell a freedom fighter. Cromwell exterminated between 600,000 and 1,000,000 Irish Catholics, then stole the remains 2,000,000 Irish Catholics and turned them into slaves to Evangelicals and Anglican "christians". That is genocide on the level of Adolf Hitler and his Nazis. His army used babies and toddlers for target practice, raped and tortured girls as young as 10-years-old. Ireland never invaded England. Lying hypocrites seems to be insufficient to describe prejudice and fraud on this scale.

Easy - Have a Very Large Professional Army PERSONALLY Loyal to You ? 🤔

Bratwurst Pizza anyone?

Great video wish i would of though of it!

Und ihr Brutes?

They sound more like Germans

Sieg heil Octavian! You lost me at Modern German.

What’s with the German?

The German made this video unwatchable. If you're gonna make them speak another language why not latin or italian or any Romance language at least it would make sense. But German? What an insult to the powerful history rome

Augustus spoke German, and after Arminius destroyed three legions in the Teutoburg Forest.

All these comments about them speaking German. No different than American made movies where the ancients speak English. Did anyone think for a moment that maybe this was produced by Germany

What is up with the German?!
Bad enough the British accents playing parts about ancient Rome but German, yikes!
I realize this is taken from a German based program.

they could dub the narration in English but not the actor dialog?
wtf

Think of how history would of played out. If Augustus's children had survived. & psychos like Caligula & Nero never existed.

A fresh perspective on Livia, rarely dicussed in docs about Augustus. I learned new facts from this production and was not bothered by subtitles, as it's generally a more defined depiction of characters if voices are not dubbed. One aspect which I found missing, or rather incorrect, was Octavian's (at the time) clemency towards Marc Antony's and Cleopatra's children, one daughter of whom went on to become a Queen in North Africa. It is believed though, that Caesarion was eliminted not long after Cleopatra's suicide. Thank you for the polished production.

HBO did a great series on this. The boy/young man they got to play Octavian was a genius and a sociopath worthy of his uncles money and power

I wonder why they didnt mention Octavian's best friend Agrippa because he was key to Octavian's success as well?!🤨🤨🥴

I guess they're speaking German because they knew that the germanic tribes would eventually conquer them. In that case, we should all brush up on Mandarin.

The historian said women were never asked what they wanted...that's because the list is endless 😆... jk

Interesting that this doc depicts the Battle of Actium as a tactical success for Antony and Cleopatra.. seemed like a military defeat to me.

😂

We revere ancient Rome for all the wrong reasons. There Republic was based on warfare, conquest, slavery. The society was tormented by civil war and intimidation and political murder. Power usually never transferred peaceably. I revere their engineering but not their politics!

He was a Legionairre, in the Regular military, he attained the Rank of Praetorian, turned everyone against Julius Ceasar...

And, he seized the throne, as Emperor, of the Holy Roman Empire.

Only the Praetorian Guard can bear arms before the Emperor.

Wow the Romans speak German. LOL What an embarrassment.
