Ancient Rome The Rise And Fall Of An Empire: Revolution 5

[PantherTankOwns]

Tiberius is the hero Rome deserves but not the one it needs, troll lol lol.

[supercoolmanikcool1]

Tiberius was the ONLY guy who looked like someone who ISNT Roman in history books

[berflaberab2]

gotta love the kissing the baby part... straight after the narrator says "politcal pawn" lmao

[silence659]

Claudia is cute ;)

[lewisgunner1]

a civil war was inetiable

[cuzcatlan36]

If by "a roman obama" some of these comments mean 'coward' I will vote for a 'coward' and let the war mongering nazis destroy themselves. some of us still value peace and good will toward men kind.

[BOWENSblog]

No obama is a dumbass

[BarbarianBadAss]

@BOWENSblog you racist

[Dre020]

Sigh why didnt alexander own these guy's, they left a bunch of old pedofiles rules such a strong nation...

[BarbarianBadAss]

@Dre020 you do realize that pedophilia was in greece and rome for hundreds of years right?

[AemiliaPaulla]

It looks like they went out of their way to make the lower classes racially ambiguous... interesting.

[rahya2008]

It's rare that you'll find a modern Tiberius nowdays. I think world leaders should learn from him..specially the Philippine Senate!! ha ha ha...they're are exactly the replica of the Roman Senate!!! We still haven't learn our lesson from history...tsk tsk tsk

[frank1320]

@rahya2008 to right mate

[KayBeeEee1983]

@rahya2008 Tiberius was the prototypical demagogue. There's no way of knowing if he ACTUALLY cared about the people of Rome. He used the masses to further his own personal gain and also used them to take revenge on his enemies. Tiberius, his brother Gaius, and his father-in-law Pulcher headed the agrarian commission, and it was corrupt. They profited financially from it.

[berflaberab2]

@KayBeeEee1983 interesting point!

[lewisgunner1]

that guy from the senate sounds like yoda

[arbitrary1234567890]

Where's his brother Gaius who outdid him

[KayBeeEee1983]

@arbitrary1234567890 The acts of Tiberius signal the beginning of the end of the Republic, and the story of Gaius is basically the same as the story of Tiberius, except that the acts of Gaius were larger in scope. For example, Tiberius championed for the landless and disenfranchised people of Rome, but Gaius championed for all Italians.

[MysteryChocolate]

The guy who plays Tiberius is smexy

[hakim229]

this is the same world we live in today nothing change...........animal human been .....

[anahel1231]

i think people like him are just made to look in power to be a fall guy for the power loving old men who really run it,when there plans dont go right.

[MoveOverCasanova]

is this david warner who plays claudius pulcher?

[lgrules1998]

i lov tibirius(dnt know how to spell his name lol)

who plays him??plz someone tell me..hes so hot lol!!!hahaha

GO TIBIRIUS!!!!!!!!lol it was cute wen he kissed the baby's forhead!!!!!!<33 lol

[lewisguner1]

spain so the romans did go to my ancestor's country not just for weapons

[GILR8]

I don't understand why The Roman Senate considered this to be a "new" treaty. It was just a continuation of the old one by his father....? Why would Rome not want allies they could use as canon fodder for a shield buffer in a new "pax romana" ? The reasons why the senate rejected the peace treaty still don't make any sense to me...am I missing something that the BBC has forgot to put in this historical footnote?

[Cokecakepopcorn]

They betrayed them, broke the treaty by fighting them once again, but then made the treaty again to save their selves

[613bo]

8:44 is a mistake 133 bc? LOL

[freemikeg]

u don't go back on your word just as a man! but on top of that it was made in the name of the god's!.......u don't have to know much about rome to know this will end bad.

[paratrooper6]

'you know my daughter claudia'

'FUCK YEAH JACKPOT'

[613bo]

LOL!!!!!!!!

[613bo]

even better ware cludias ass out

[FearAcademy]

This is why the Republic became an Empire. The Senate had their rule for 500 years, their incompetence led to powerful dictators who used their bickering to strengthen themselves. First was Sulla, then Marius, Crassus, Pompey, Ceasar, etc

[2242bzo]

I liked the Bambi-hunt.

[landis69]

This is good, but it's a bit hollywood. Really bent the truth a bit.

[UserNameForYeeTube]

"Political pawns of the senate"? Senators', maybe, but not senate's, surely. The senate had opposing groups and senators which would support their respective tribunes.

[ollieproductions1]

There is a gap between this and the 4th one

[pseudomonos]

Why is his fucking mother... acting like a bitch

[SimmyDOTuk]

why have you made 2 series but labelled them the exact same? make them different so people know which ones are which

[lewisguner1]

i know

[paulyhart]

@SimmyDOTuk Like: "Ancient Rome: Revolution 5: The Rise And Fall Of An Empire" would be helpful.

[wood1155]

@SimmyDOTuk life is hard son

[MrFirstKnight]

i'm hearing PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA! PIZZA!

[RasMajnouni]

I've read that Tiberius's new wife would call him by a special name "Biggus Dickus".

[steveharrismetalgod]

hahahahaha!

[sollibop]

Wrong it was Nautious Maximus!

[WolfgangHolzmann]

And he called her, " Incontinentus".

[ahmedeox]

@RasMajnouni By his wife you mean Incontinentia Buttocks?

[PrinceDirt]

More like Cry-berius

[vampyre88]

George Washington was a cry-baby too. There's no progress without pain.

[EliasDaemonwing]

Rome was hardly a democracy, the Senate was an exclusive body made up of the pratician class. Only a few notable exceptions exist in history of plebians rising to the Senate. Cicero and Marius are two.

[LedLumba93]

Cicero was an aristocrat

[ScipioPokerus]

It never was supposed to be a democracy. Also there is evidence to support that in 397(399?) following the sack of Rome by Gauls, and the murder of the entire Senate, that the plebian (soldier) class was integral in repopulating the ancient chamber. Grown Men adopted into patrician classes, and the Tribune of the people as the defacto Dictator in the rebuilding of ROme and the Latin Leauge revolt which immediatly follows. Although your point is broadly accurate. Stability not liberty endured

[bigsky780]

Ha ha kissing babies. somethings never change.

[skullwolf13]

missing part 4

[manbearpig2694]

no there are 2 documenteries with the same name

[revengeofcleveland]

ha! he kissed a baby!

[DarthFanta]

Representative Democracy is rubbish, follow the system of Switzerland, the System of Direct Democracy!

[MrKevMan]

Switzerland is actually socialist.

[grnpoop]

How about we rule ourselves and stop depending on corrupt politicians to do so. 6.5 billion rule by less than 1%. WTF!

[Killare2]

Empire ruled by the emperor only would be the best government I think. If he is a good man/women.

But all people is talking about today is religion bullshit, christianity and islam have fought from the beginning of time, where is the so called "peace"?

The world should be ruled by one empire, who is ruled by 1 righteous leader.

[megalomaniacal33]

who defines righteous?and islam has been around only since about 700 A.D..an empire would never work

[ModerSverige]

an empire without relgion, that are supporting human justice, and support sience insted war would be a very good one.

[SSKaizer]

imo the most stable society would be one with complete liberty, allow people do to what they want just as long as what they are doing does not effect others. Allow people to believe in whatever they want (I'm not that big on religion but I respect peoples beliefs) just as long as they are not forcing it onto me or anyone else, trying to get us to join. Just using religion as an example.

[onesevenfiveone]

There are very few things that a person could do that would have no effect on another. For the few things that a person could do without affecting others, those things are already allowed I think. Please name an example of a liberty you think should be allowed on the basis that it does not affect others and is not already in place, and I will understand,

[dizzy69er]

um dude u realise the world we live in today is like that, its just ppl are corupt and biast the government is effectively perfect its just ppl dont do the right thing and bend rules and cheat and bribe thats why the world is like this not cause we cant make effective rules

[RasMajnouni]

ModerSverige,lets use YouTube to make a worldwide cyber-election on how we want a worldwide empire to be.Mohamed & Jesus can be elected,a Socialist candidate,Democratic,Communist­,Anarchy,Free Drugs,Free Love,perverts,criminals,Hindi,­Buddhist.Etc(The Jews won't be in because they don't convert forcibly or peacably).We'll do a gladiator thing,giving rest between fights.The one who comes out will rule the world.

[Webnet123]

most people would prefer a good stable government that will secure them..

i'm not promoting communism and dictatorship but i'm not saying democracy is the best government we have today.. i some people would like to change unequality, rich and poverty gap, change our daily routine that makes life suxs... its fictional but its not impossible.. historical emperors last long because their taught men.. even if their corrupt or insane

[aeonflux67]

Webnet. I am Australian but my wife is Vietnamese. I was of the opinion that Socialism and Communists were not good till I met her and stayed a length of time in Vietnam. But when you see the law and order and organisation within that country its quite impressive how they get things done despite recovering from years of war and economic blockades. Meanwhile USA and other western countries waste millions on elections to end up with George W Bush and the like. You may be onto something

[Webnet123]

the most tiring thing about democracy is to many people run the government but not all have the same mind and motives.. some are good but most are evil, and they have the power and muscle to do things.. the only thing about communism and dictatorship is they keep the people, the government, the rich and poor heirchy intact.. one ideology, one direction.. change the world either idea or use force to do so by id if ur a rich social climber guy who pissed the poor.. ur a dead man..

[Webnet123]

thats why there are emperors of rome.. the aristocrats and noblemens corruption gave rise to the emperors.. emperors maybe evil but atleast the people benefit from the spoils they get.. emperors were born or created to make the senate intact and see it has limited powers.. even democracy like the roman democracy has its corruption and failure.. the only good thing about it is u get to speak ur mine they're corrupt.. in dictatorship and communism.. u'll get a firing squad instead..

[klaifth]

WOOO YEAA BABY!! WOOT WOOT BABY!!

[moakley]

dont ever mess with jupitor

[kingsman565]

Nothings changed in politics or socity since rome I'm starting to wounder if anyone's ever experienced democracy maby it's as big a lie as communism.

[kelscri]

man i hate those roman aristocrats and noble too an there get no Honor to the poor people of Rome and there care only the Rich's people of Rome that why the roman empire fall i guess and if people like Tiberius Gracchus still runny Rome empire it might still be around even to day but that history for now

[Plotinus2112]

The Obama of Rome

[LadyAmaltheaUnicorn]

Not really. Tiberius was an independent, Obama is the representative of a powerful political force. Comparing the two is like comparing the power of a privately owned coffee shop to Starbucks

[Luxaquitaine]

Gaius Octavian then?

[revengeofcleveland]

Populares ("favoring the people", singular popularis) were aristocratic leaders in the late Roman Republic who tended to use the people's assemblies and tribunate in an effort to break the stranglehold of the Senate on political power. They were opposed by the conservative optimates.

wasnt tiberius one of those lot?

[AemiliaPaulla]

Optimistic term for a demagogue, no?

[Mikethemechanic654]

Yes, I believe he was one of the first Populares and contrary to the later appearing Caesar or Clodius he was a populares out of idealism not oppurtunism.

[Panax07]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn He obviously didn't mean Tiberius.

[ezelite]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn In fact comparing the two is so pointless it can only be the act of a mind that is somewhat lacking in imagination

[3baxcb]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn And if Tiberius is the Roman Obama (hopefully not murdered in the senate like Tiberius) then what does that make Scipio? The Saddam of Rome towards non-Romans?

[Reals1111]

@3baxcb

What do you mean?Tiberious is the Roman Saddam Hussein a champions of the common people who stood up to powers greater then himself. A hero.

[3baxcb]

@Reals1111 If Tiberius was the Roman Saddam Hussein, then what was Scipio? Tiberius certainly didn't go far like Saddam in killing fellow countrymen. That only began about 30-50 years after his death starting with Marius and Sulla.

[Reals1111]

@3baxcb

Scipio was more like a douche, not like Saddam, never speak il of a great man. He helped his countrymen did not kill them that was propaganda from the evil Kurds and Shitits.

[3baxcb]

@Reals1111 Well I doubt the Kurds that survived Saddam mustard gas attacks agree with that. The only reason the United States didn't openly condemn that act was because Saddam was involved in the Iran-Iraq war and the Americans didn't forget about the Iranian hostage crises.

[Reals1111]

@3baxcb

The Kurds where not killed. Saddam was a brilliant man. See what he did to prove a point was that he evacuated all the Kurds from the village and gave them new homes. Then he in their stead put convicted criminals there to be used during the gas attack. See he did not want to kill innocent people so this is what he did.

[3baxcb]

@Reals1111 You're joking right? 

[Reals1111]

@3baxcb

That is no joke. Its the uncorrupted truth. The other versions are western propaganda

[arzgania]

@Reals1111 not intended to be a factual statement.

[BarbarianBadAss]

@Reals1111 he was a murderer no differant than hitler and stalon, a scumbag and nothing more

[TormentedStatue]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn Yeah Obama was brought to power through the banks of England and is a nazi growing power. Tiberius is more like John F. Kennedy

[rank666]

@LadyAmaltheaUnicorn you but the privately owned coffee shop will make better coffee

[Luxaquitaine]

Rather, the Bobby Kennedy of Rome

[gun844]

no!He was the Gracchus of Rome.Dont compare him to some shity american.

[padookieking]

@Plotinus2112 not on your nelly

[IruleOverProgressive]

@Plotinus2112 are you serious. Obama is an establishment politician in the truest sense. A blight on this great democracy

[TheFaceofWisdom]

@Plotinus2112 Oh how wrong you turned out to be.

[inkwaster]

@Plotinus2112 I look at people commenting on Plotinus, and feel nothing but pity; your comments all come 2 or 3 years after he made the remark, how easy it is to judge a man's comments 2, 5 10 years later. Why comment at all?

[hab123]

Tiberius Gracchus

[75cawm2725]

jejeje!

[hab123]

no bebebebe!
