“I do Rome vids mostly”
You have to respect that Youtube channel bio – it doesn’t get much more to the point than that.
Yes – it’s another Youtube history channel. And yes – it does indeed “do Rome vids mostly”.
A personal highlight for me was its ranking of Roman emperors, apparently his most popular video, hence prompting videos for the Byzantine emperors (and the emperors of the western empire before its fall) – and beyond to Portuguese kings (not surprisingly given his country of origin), Spanish kings, Russian tsars, English monarchs, French kings, and Ottoman sultans.
And of course my other personal highlights are its top ten lists – ten underrated Roman emperors, ten worst Roman defeats, and ten reasons the Roman Empire fell – and tier rankings for the performance of combatant nations in both world wars.
RATING: 4 STARS****
