@ponti117 You're obviously an admirer of the Roman Empire. But you glorified the old Romans to the point that it clouds your reason when you said: in tech we would be 800 years ahead, if the barbarians didn't end the Roman Empire. This is simply unfounded and not true. You need to understand the inner workings of the Roman Empires society and economic infrastructure. Which you obviously didn't take into consideration. Rome and Constantinople needed to end in order for the world to progress.
English isn't a direct children to Latin. Direct Children to Latin are German, Spanish, French, (cant remember the other 2 because I'd just stayed up all night for an unknown reason).
@dealhit define barbaric. using slaves for sport is civilised? supressing other religions? considering themselves better then all others? massacering and destroying other civilasations?
Rome was insane and weak, especially after Nero with many documented cases of homosexuality.
And don't forget that Russia has a severe AIDS breakout too. I wonder what causes that stuff to spread other than prostitutes and unsafe/stupid/moronic/dimwitted sex practices.
@Remagoen Your understanding of sexual diseases is equal to your understandings of Roman history. Culturally sex in Rome didnt change during the 400 years of the Republic and the 400 years of the Emperors. They had a couple of gay Emperors, so what, we in the UK have had gay Prime Ministers (though they had to keep it quiet), it means nothing, its twisted Christian conservative morality that has fucked the simplicity and understanding of sexuality.
@DranQNitrouS This is not correct. The general thath deposed the last emperor was a general of Roman army ( german) and the German never defeated Romans that rest in Orient territorys since 1476, when Ottomans defeated them
Roma Victor!!! All of those years Greeks, Babylonians, Egyptians, Assyrians, Romans, Carthaginias tryed and did discover those new technologies, but on August 24, 410 AD, some Visigoth under the command of the Alaric I Rome fell and all of this knoghledge was lost for next 1000 years, thank you barbarians for your stupidity, and hate for Rome, IDIOTS!!!!!
@ponti117 Are you ok?? I indicate you that the current constitution of the European countries are based on that of the Ancient Rome... And then the Roman, practised the slavery!! And without the arrival of the Germanic barbarians, we would not be there! Rome crumbled off more and more. It is for it that she(it) to stop existing in 451!
@Dimi10b Oh yeah, if Rome would be destroyed by those barbarians, we would more progrest right now, in tech, science, medicine, everthing, but no it had to be slowed down for at least 800 years. Do you get me, my friend?
@ponti117 You are right, however it would of found the new world a bit later than 1400/1300/whatever. The Roman Empire would have been like "Oh we have enough land we don't need another world", so they probably wouldn't of seen the new world, ergo no USA, no Mexico, no Brazil etc. You get the point, don't you?
P.S. You can't see Alaska from Russia quite well.
@trppmdm I see your point, friend. And yet, look what happened to them, killed off, died from the disease. I dont that what they wanted for them to happen, did they? :)
The Saxons brought English to England. They brought the name England. Before them it was called Brittania and the people spoke Latin. I think we should be thanking the Saxons for the language. But personally, speaking Latin sounds cooler and makes me feel smart. :)
The people that are descandents from romans are Romanians,italian, spanish, french and portuguese people.
they still speak latin while english and german swedish and more are german languge. cauze their ancestors spoke german languge the barabrians. case closed stop play roman englishmen you say you are as much roman as a portuguese seriosly you speak german bcoz your forfathers spoke german. and italian and french and them speak their latin languge cauze their forfather spoke latin ok stop it.
Of course but that is a minority you know french people arent that much latin themselves. They are more related to germans. Then to italians, spaniards, romanian. When I said the german speaking countries arent romans I ment that about 90 procent of the people cauze lets say your dad speaks english what do you speak? english right it is not like if your dad speak latin then you speak english right? so when people say brits germans swedes are as much romans as the latin countries in europe bullsh
I know that is why I'm asking... but lets forget about my point of view is that brits, germans are more from german tribes slash the barbarians and the latin countries in europe are more roman then germans and that is basicly a fact...
Mickecojo you r a guy plenty of knowledge. You also know about the roman influence and presence in Portugal, that is very good. I'm studying in USA this year and I met here a swedish student whom is very intelegent too. Sweedish are such a good people. I love sweeden, I read Arn Magnusson Trylogy, its amazing. An hug from Portugal my friend
English isnt really a a Germanic language, its more like a trading language incorporating parts of other languages and blenderizing it up, for the making of trade easier by making communication easier. Taking a close look at English it has Latin as well as many Germanic, and a little African languages incorporated into it.
Of course this is true. Old English was influenced by Old Germanic languages when the Saxons invaded Britain, followed by French with the invasions of the Normans which brought the Latin roots. English has also been influenced by Scandinavian languages from the Vikings, the neighboring Gaelic tongues, and even Dutch. Technically speaking, however, English is a Germanic language, meaning it is classified into that family along with German, Dutch, the Scandinavian tongues, and others.
I didnt knew that, its good that you posted it here.I always think about it why can you discribe things much quicker and better in German then in English.
@Pourleduc German is not an ancient language. It's about as old as english, it hasn't contributed to english. The language that was spoken by the saxons who came to Britannia is a contributor to English. 60% of the english words are based in latin. Even those words have surely evolved and got germanic/saxon influence.
@SternMann93 Latin's words from your message: German, ancient, language, contribuited, contributor, based, latin, envolved, influence. Oggi l'inglese moderno ha circa 80% parole d'origine grecolatina; e nel ambito cientifico 99% plus, ex.: computer, biologia, astronomia, ingegnieria, et cetera.
@SternMann93 All european language are based in latin and germanics... But some more fell over towards the Germanic (in the absence of citizens Latin) and the others more fell over towards the novel (a mixture of Latin and Germans) Especially for occupied territories by francs.For North of Europe it is Dutch,German,English even for Danish,suomi and Norwish but more with viking in the middle age!And on the south of europe it is French,Spanish,Portugish,Italian,Romanian and more little dialecte...
@Dimi10b Actually when u mention finnish(suomi), it's not part of the latin or germanic family. It's in a language family of its own called Finno-Ugric.
@SternMann93 Latin and greek, to be precise, as so much of latin itself derives from Greek. :3 But yes, it is the primary contributor in terms of vocabulary (structure derives from the germanic languages, however. Also, the word "the" doesn't derive from Latin, sadly.)
@SternMann93 Lol no. 28% of the Vocabulary in English is derived from Latin. In actuality though, only about 12% of that is regularly used as according to this; "due primarily to the effects of linguistic register, where the vast majority of Latin words in English tend to be of a scientific or technical nature, or consist of words which are rarely to never used (i.e. are functionally obsolete)." Nice try though.
no, hes right. It was 3 leigons plus mercenaries. They were betrayed by another Roman Genral working with sum enemy barbarians. It was a Huge lose becaz Rome had only 13 leigons in Current day France/Germany
It couldn't have been Teutoburg because the Germanians won at Teutoburg and sent the Romans packing. The Romans won that battle in the movie Gladiator so I would have to agree with Aelendris.
So, probably Rome tried to conquer Persia militarily and failed every time, but this means nothing, my friends. See nowadays Iran and see Italy...even if who had had an heritage of civilization and who is til now between Middle Age and Modern Times? Don't make me laugh, please.
Actually later on The Roman's Conquered several territories Of "Parthia" And Was an a small influence of the Fall of the Parthia empire later on to the Sassanian and other smaller empires, And what are you talking about Italy has a strong military right now, with an Air force and Navy as well, plus right now Italy could take Iran, I dont know where you get the Idea that Iran is powerful? All you guys have is suicidal bombers and those fanatical people.
Mesopotamia was conquered in AD 116 by emperor Trajan on his Parthian campaign. Victory over the Parthians was so complete that the new province even included the city of Charax on the eastern shore of the Euphrates in the very south-east of the province. However, revolts in the provinces in his rear soon created serious trouble for these campaigns and forced Trajan to retreat surrendering the southern parts of Mesopotamia as early as AD 116/117.
Persia gassed Roman soldiers. Look it up. Wiped out and entire army within minutes. But then the amount of wins and losses between Rome and Persia are about even. But Rome had a more sophisticated and advanced society.
Due in large part to their employment of powerful heavy cavalry and mobile horse-archers, the Parthian Empire was the most formidable enemy of the Roman Empire in the east. Trajan had campaigned against the Parthians and briefly captured their capital, putting a puppet ruler on the throne, but the territories were abandoned.
A revitalised Parthian Empire renewed its assault in 161, and defeated two Roman armies. General Gaius Avidius Cassius was sent in 162 to counter the resurgent Parthia. The Parthian city of Seleucia on the Tigris was destroyed, and the Parthians made peace but were forced to cede western Mesopotamia to the Romans
.[108] In 197, Emperor Septimius Severus waged a brief and successful war against the Parthian Empire, during which time the Parthian capital was sacked, and the northern half of Mesopotamia was restored to Rome. Emperor Caracalla marched on Parthia in 217 from Edessa to begin a war against them, but he was assassinated while on the march.
[109] In 224, the Parthian Empire was crushed not by the Romans but by the rebellious Persian vassal king Ardashir, who revolted, leading to the establishment of Sassanid Empire of Persia, which replaced Parthia as Rome's major rival in the East.
They pay them...thats the wrong thing..tribute is nothing..exticion of the danger (Total war)is stable they let to many enemies in the "gates".For me the Greatest Roman General is..Gauis Mauris and far later Heraklios (the First Crusader)who become emperor
Don't spread untruths . Rome fell at 476 AD, The Eastern Roman Empire which wasn't consisted by latin but mostly greek population was renamed to Byzantine Empire
-(since Rome had fallen, also it wasn't even part of the empire and Roman customes and laws were rotten there was no need to keep the name)- and was the one that survived till 1453. About 200 years after the fall of Rome there was little latin trace left in Byzantium and the spoken language was simmilar to ancient Greek.
So you do know your fair share of history after all. Yes I may have exaggerated on a part or two. After Charlomagne's crown as a "Roman Emperor" about 800 AD The Byzantine empre was mainly called (at the time) empire of the greeks. Truth is that because of Christianity and rejection of everything not chirstian Byzantines never claimed any heritage from ancient Greece. That doesnt however change the fact that the main empire was stationed in greek territory and the spoken language was greek.
Do you know what rome is right? yes it sated out Just the City of Rome, it later claim the whole of italy as rome than the whole of europe than some of the Asia minor, it added most of the cultures into itself, you became roman with military service, you dont have to be from the city of rome nor Italian to be roman..so even though the eastern empire was mostly greek, it was still rome!
I won't repeat myself again. I too love ancient Roman imperialistic history, but there is no need to flatten everything just for the impressions.
I'll just clarify that the roman empire was consisted by many farraginous populations that kept their national characteristics. In the east the greeks where dominant and that is why as soon as the empire fell, maybe with a delay of a century the people of the eastern part called themselfs greeks.
Greek or not still the Roman Empire, just Greek majority. that was one of the major reason of the down fall of the empire's they ran out of roman men, so they started using more and more outside men and barbarian mercenaries, until they turned on Rome.
um dude, Rome has been using foreign men in its army since before 200 B.C. I dont get what you are trying to say? Rome has always been a mix of nationalities!! it was never just people from the City of Rome or Italians!! So Greeks Or Not ..They were still Rome and used and lived like Romans did and acted like romans and fought like romans!!
The problem was complacency and not a manpower shortage. An economy based on slavery rather than production was also a great reason why Rome fell. The problems came from within, the barbarians just mopped up what was left when Rome was ready to fall. Rome did not want to change and develope new ways of military warfare or social structure. So they had been stuck with the same systems for roughly 200-300 years. Gave the "barbarians" enough time to catch up.
While i do agree with you, The point about the western roman empire being both poorer and have lack of native men is true! but the end of the western empire most of the armies were made up of barbarian mercenary's, heck even the Emperor personal bodyguards were hired mercenary's on account they diodnt trust his won men, but this also led to a downfall also among many things!
That is true, much of the roman army was made up by foederati, barbarian mercenaries instead of trained legions. The problem for the western roman empire was that the lack of tradeopportunities in the west. They had nobody to trade with because they controlled all the western shores and lands. The Eastern Roman empire however was a gateway to the eastern lands (Asia) and also down to the south in Egypt. Truth be told- what western Rome needed was a strong leader
By having a strong leader such as e.g Marcus Aurelius, Julius Caesar - they could perhaps have reformed their nation enough to survive the onslaught. Sadly such a reform would have been both bloody and taken some time. The first reform would've been a social/economical as well as administrative. Rome had fallen back in developement. The second reform should've been a military one. Disband the mercenary armies and recruit/train Roman legions again. Even freed slaves were more reliable than mercs.
Agreed, but as I said before the Western Empire or should i say Italy's population was dwelling down, In the past they had millions but they had under a million at the time, Its hard to find Legionaries when you dont have manpower! The east empire was a big help in the west falling apart plus the last few western emperors were just puppets for the eastern emperor!
The Eastern Roman Empire never reffered to themselves as 'Byzantines', it was a name given to them by scholars since they were centered around Constantinople, A.K.A. - Istambul, A.K.A - Byzantium.
don't ask again!!! the song name is in the video's info... you should learn spanish! if you don't, you can read "...Jeff Van Dyck "Forever"... rome total war", you don't need nothing else to figure out the name
if greeks was together the romans would be a piece of cake!!imagine macedonia sparta seleykids empire the greeks emperors of egypt and the molosian epirotes together!!and imagine sprtan hoplites combined with macedonians heavy cavarly!!greeks lost because thy were not united!!

@SternMann93 All european language are based in latin and germanics... But some more fell over towards the Germanic (in the absence of citizens Latin) and the others more fell over towards the novel (a mixture of Latin and Germans) Especially for occupied territories by francs.For North of Europe it is Dutch,German,English even for Danish,suomi and Norwish but more with viking in the middle age!And on the south of europe it is French,Spanish,Portugish,Italian,Romanian and more little dialecte...

@Dimi10b Actually when u mention finnish(suomi), it's not part of the latin or germanic family. It's in a language family of its own called Finno-Ugric.

@SternMann93 Latin and greek, to be precise, as so much of latin itself derives from Greek. :3 But yes, it is the primary contributor in terms of vocabulary (structure derives from the germanic languages, however. Also, the word "the" doesn't derive from Latin, sadly.)
Redward652 1 year ago
@SternMann93 Lol no. 28% of the Vocabulary in English is derived from Latin. In actuality though, only about 12% of that is regularly used as according to this; "due primarily to the effects of linguistic register, where the vast majority of Latin words in English tend to be of a scientific or technical nature, or consist of words which are rarely to never used (i.e. are functionally obsolete)." Nice try though.

It couldn't have been Teutoburg because the Germanians won at Teutoburg and sent the Romans packing. The Romans won that battle in the movie Gladiator so I would have to agree with Aelendris.

So, probably Rome tried to conquer Persia militarily and failed every time, but this means nothing, my friends. See nowadays Iran and see Italy...even if who had had an heritage of civilization and who is til now between Middle Age and Modern Times? Don't make me laugh, please.

Actually later on The Roman's Conquered several territories Of "Parthia" And Was an a small influence of the Fall of the Parthia empire later on to the Sassanian and other smaller empires, And what are you talking about Italy has a strong military right now, with an Air force and Navy as well, plus right now Italy could take Iran, I dont know where you get the Idea that Iran is powerful? All you guys have is suicidal bombers and those fanatical people.

Mesopotamia was conquered in AD 116 by emperor Trajan on his Parthian campaign. Victory over the Parthians was so complete that the new province even included the city of Charax on the eastern shore of the Euphrates in the very south-east of the province. However, revolts in the provinces in his rear soon created serious trouble for these campaigns and forced Trajan to retreat surrendering the southern parts of Mesopotamia as early as AD 116/117.

Persia gassed Roman soldiers. Look it up. Wiped out and entire army within minutes. But then the amount of wins and losses between Rome and Persia are about even. But Rome had a more sophisticated and advanced society.

Due in large part to their employment of powerful heavy cavalry and mobile horse-archers, the Parthian Empire was the most formidable enemy of the Roman Empire in the east. Trajan had campaigned against the Parthians and briefly captured their capital, putting a puppet ruler on the throne, but the territories were abandoned.
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
A revitalised Parthian Empire renewed its assault in 161, and defeated two Roman armies. General Gaius Avidius Cassius was sent in 162 to counter the resurgent Parthia. The Parthian city of Seleucia on the Tigris was destroyed, and the Parthians made peace but were forced to cede western Mesopotamia to the Romans
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
.[108] In 197, Emperor Septimius Severus waged a brief and successful war against the Parthian Empire, during which time the Parthian capital was sacked, and the northern half of Mesopotamia was restored to Rome. Emperor Caracalla marched on Parthia in 217 from Edessa to begin a war against them, but he was assassinated while on the march.
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
[109] In 224, the Parthian Empire was crushed not by the Romans but by the rebellious Persian vassal king Ardashir, who revolted, leading to the establishment of Sassanid Empire of Persia, which replaced Parthia as Rome's major rival in the East.

Don't spread untruths . Rome fell at 476 AD, The Eastern Roman Empire which wasn't consisted by latin but mostly greek population was renamed to Byzantine Empire
-(since Rome had fallen, also it wasn't even part of the empire and Roman customes and laws were rotten there was no need to keep the name)- and was the one that survived till 1453. About 200 years after the fall of Rome there was little latin trace left in Byzantium and the spoken language was simmilar to ancient Greek.

Quentin0000000000 3 years ago
So you do know your fair share of history after all. Yes I may have exaggerated on a part or two. After Charlomagne's crown as a "Roman Emperor" about 800 AD The Byzantine empre was mainly called (at the time) empire of the greeks. Truth is that because of Christianity and rejection of everything not chirstian Byzantines never claimed any heritage from ancient Greece. That doesnt however change the fact that the main empire was stationed in greek territory and the spoken language was greek.
Phyroson 3 years ago
Do you know what rome is right? yes it sated out Just the City of Rome, it later claim the whole of italy as rome than the whole of europe than some of the Asia minor, it added most of the cultures into itself, you became roman with military service, you dont have to be from the city of rome nor Italian to be roman..so even though the eastern empire was mostly greek, it was still rome!
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
I won't repeat myself again. I too love ancient Roman imperialistic history, but there is no need to flatten everything just for the impressions.
I'll just clarify that the roman empire was consisted by many farraginous populations that kept their national characteristics. In the east the greeks where dominant and that is why as soon as the empire fell, maybe with a delay of a century the people of the eastern part called themselfs greeks.
Phyroson 2 years ago
Greek or not still the Roman Empire, just Greek majority. that was one of the major reason of the down fall of the empire's they ran out of roman men, so they started using more and more outside men and barbarian mercenaries, until they turned on Rome.
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
Thank you for coming down to my point. Foreign men, not Romans, foreign.
Phyroson 2 years ago
um dude, Rome has been using foreign men in its army since before 200 B.C. I dont get what you are trying to say? Rome has always been a mix of nationalities!! it was never just people from the City of Rome or Italians!! So Greeks Or Not ..They were still Rome and used and lived like Romans did and acted like romans and fought like romans!!
TheLightningKing 2 years ago 3
The problem was complacency and not a manpower shortage. An economy based on slavery rather than production was also a great reason why Rome fell. The problems came from within, the barbarians just mopped up what was left when Rome was ready to fall. Rome did not want to change and develope new ways of military warfare or social structure. So they had been stuck with the same systems for roughly 200-300 years. Gave the "barbarians" enough time to catch up.
Aelendris 2 years ago
While i do agree with you, The point about the western roman empire being both poorer and have lack of native men is true! but the end of the western empire most of the armies were made up of barbarian mercenary's, heck even the Emperor personal bodyguards were hired mercenary's on account they diodnt trust his won men, but this also led to a downfall also among many things!
TheLightningKing 2 years ago
That is true, much of the roman army was made up by foederati, barbarian mercenaries instead of trained legions. The problem for the western roman empire was that the lack of tradeopportunities in the west. They had nobody to trade with because they controlled all the western shores and lands. The Eastern Roman empire however was a gateway to the eastern lands (Asia) and also down to the south in Egypt. Truth be told- what western Rome needed was a strong leader
Aelendris 2 years ago
By having a strong leader such as e.g Marcus Aurelius, Julius Caesar - they could perhaps have reformed their nation enough to survive the onslaught. Sadly such a reform would have been both bloody and taken some time. The first reform would've been a social/economical as well as administrative. Rome had fallen back in developement. The second reform should've been a military one. Disband the mercenary armies and recruit/train Roman legions again. Even freed slaves were more reliable than mercs.
Aelendris 2 years ago
Agreed, but as I said before the Western Empire or should i say Italy's population was dwelling down, In the past they had millions but they had under a million at the time, Its hard to find Legionaries when you dont have manpower! The east empire was a big help in the west falling apart plus the last few western emperors were just puppets for the eastern emperor!
