When I see those deception plots it seems so easy. Just show your enemies what they want to see. Their impatience and fear of missing out will make them blind. It really is the case that desire narrows your view.

John Bradshaw

Might just be me but the voice audio seemed muffled like it was overly bass boosted maybe. Thanks for making another great video!

Lewis Hastie

Your videos are so bloody good mate

Carson W

So good! Never knew I'd care so much about Roman history.

Hi Historia Civilis, thanks for this new video. I would like to thanks you particularly because your videos put an order to the vague ideas about roman history that I got from the High School. Your videos look like to be clear and concise and give a clear idea of the historical moment, the political situation and issues. If I have to recall any concept from the years I spend studying and re-studying the Roman History at school all I can get is a blur idea… Very nice is the series about the roman holydays, such clear and vivid description I have never read or heard I have a question: I lived many years in France, there you don’t speak about the Romans you speak about the Gallo-Romans, just as if in France, and there only, the two civilisation joined and created a new one. My question is a general one: did the roman had a colonial policy? Was it different in the different regions of the empire and changed during the time? How much did they integrated the new civilisation and how much imposed theirs? Well, kind of a long story here… Thanks Paolo Perani

Historia Civilis

Yeah, I don't disagree. When I was doing the voiceover for this one my microphone started doing some insane shit. I managed to save the audio, but I hear the same problems that you do. I've already ordered a new mic. It should all be sorted out by the next video.

Historia Civilis

Yeah that's an interesting question. I'll try to keep that in mind as I approach the Empire. Different regions definitely had different rules, and it changed radically over the centuries. I haven't touched on the Roman Republic's administration much, but I've thought about it. You had provinces, which were directly controlled by proconsuls or propraetors appointed by the Senate, but you also had the "allies," or "socii," which were semiautonomous cities governed by their own senates and whatnot. It's super confusing, which is why I've kind of avoided dipping my toe in that water. Caesar reorganizes this system some time in the 40s BCE, so maybe that would be a good time to talk about all of this. It kinda deserves its own video, but... who knows.
