HE SAVED THE EMPIRE IS WHAT HE DID. HE WAS A BRAVE ILLYRIAN-AMERICAN EMPEROR AND IN THIS HOUSE IVSTINIANVS IS A HERO! END OF STORY!
ОтветитьAve BELISARIVS PLEBICVS VANDALICVS GOTHICVS MAXIMVS
ОтветитьJustinian not great because he was Christian and you literally hate us.
ОтветитьJustinian was a great politician and reformer. That he made a great mistake is true, but overall he was really god at his job
ОтветитьThe Nika riot wasn't just a riot, it was an attempted coup. Augustus himself would have done the same.
ОтветитьSuch capable generals like Βελισσάριος are always a pain in the neck for all authorities ! You see centralized power feels comfortable only with YESMEN . Its not just Justinian in my point of view every Emperor would feel threaten by such capable General. Only the Julius Caesar perhaps was an exemption of this rule
ОтветитьJust a few important points:
1. The Platonic Academy in Athens that was closed by Justinian was not the original one, which had in fact been destroyed 500 years before. The one that ceased to exist in the 6th century had been established only in the previous century. It's also important to note that Justinian was evidently not particularly bothered by Neoplatonism; in fact, schools of that philosophy continued to exist, with Imperial funding, in Constantinople, Antioch, and Alexandria.
2. As far as I can see, there was no general destruction of Pagan art and books in any part of the empire during Justinian's reign. In his Chronographia, Ioannis Malalas only mentions one instance of Pagan book burning, in Antioch; this example was, however, quite tame, as only texts that were being used by particular groups of Pagans were burned. The claim also seems very inconsistent with the fact that Constantinople continued to be renowned after Justinian's death for the wealth of classical art that graced its many streets and public buildings. I don't think one can draw the inference that a "significant" amount of Pagan art and knowledge was destroyed in Justinian's reign.
Good video! If Christianity, not to mention Islam, was such a great idea, why did they have to kill "pagans" and go on conquests to force their beliefs on others? Much of Christianity was taken from Judaism, "pagans", Mithraism and Greek philosophy.
ОтветитьKeep it up good work friend you are giving justice I can't imagine how many innocent pagans and non christians died during his terror reign true romans already fall last true Roman emperor Julian the apostate died and reign of terror began the destruction of many pagan temples and following emperors continue the policy of the destruction of pagan people.They are literally intolerant.Theodosis the traitor destroy western Roman empire just because of relegious differences which show how insecure they were
ОтветитьI'll never understand the lengths people go to defend Justinian. He inherited a strong and prosperous empire, but left it nearly broke and ripe for conquests. His greatest sin being the devastation of Italy.
ОтветитьI will not comment at lenght on the quality of the information presented in this video. To those who're eager to read about the strategy and decision-making in the Gothic Wars as well as the role of Justinian and Belisarius I'd recommend a more than 2 hours long video "Rome Strikes Back: Belisarius and the Wars of Justinian (ALL PARTS)" by the channel Epic History TV .
Ответить“Justinian destroyed pagan institutions and symbols and didn’t give them power” Oh okay so he’s fucking based.
ОтветитьI wouldn't call him jealous, cautious would be more fitting in my opinion.
We must recall that the western empire was destroyed by constant civil wars led by popular generals.
Belesarius should have overthrown that weak little beta emperor
he could reclaimed all of the western empire if he wasn’t being undermined undersupplied and enforced by a jealous Justinian and other rivals in Constantinople.
You just don’t like Christians
ОтветитьJustinian did nothing wrong, he just sent you back to your mudhuts.
Ответитьnah hes just based
Ответитьlove it
