  • Oh my God, YES! I cannot believe that we are finally getting animated version of podcast of History of Byzantium...... cough Eastern Rome cough .....and that it is going to be done in such magnificent animation style. As someone who just recently stumbled on your YouTube channel, I must admit that I'm really impressed with your work. Keep the good work! 😄
  • @GoogleUserOne
    Oh this hit the spot. Justinian is one of the most badass, ‘come what may I’m coming forward swinging’-type leaders in history. (As long as his lady was behind him)
  • @sama847
    Legit my FAVORITE history youtuber has teamed up with one of the GREATEST history podcasters ever. This is gonna be amazing
  • This is the most detailed video on Justinian I have ever watched. Usually the videos on Justinian only talk about the Nika revolt and the wars in Italy and against the Persians. It was so interesting 👍👍
  • @bear499
    Oh fantastic, I was really waiting for this one. This just made this cold grey day much better. I've been expanding into early and middle byzantine history, since I felt I didn't give it the same attention I give pre-theodosius I roman history or late byzantinehistory. A Flashpoint series on it, is an absolutely ideal starter. Can't wait for the next video in this journey. Great job.
  • I just wanna thank you , you have a very wonderful voice of narration and I am listening and watching to all your podcast while I’m Recovering out of my hip shoulder surgery.
  • Oh my goodness...... what a delight. Mike Duncan's The History of Rome is my all time favorite podcast, with The History of Byzantium being my second favorite podcast of all time. I have listened to both of them at least four or five times. It's such a wonderful treat to hear your calm voice again - Robin Pierson - on Youtube. I know I'm going to enjoy this series. You have brought me so much knowledge - this has made my day.
  • @laurenwd291
    I'm a longtime fan of the podcast, but I LOVED hearing Robin's narration again with the visuals, most especially the maps lol! Looking forward to further installments!
  • @gunnstash
    This is so excellently well done, very much looking forward to the next installment.
  • @LobsterRavioli
    Justinian always amazed me. He did just about everything that you should not do, but somehow turned it into success.
  • @Rayza82
    I visited a church in Tbilisi Georgia yesterday built during the reign of Anastasius. Awesome show! Great collaboration!
  • This channel reignited my love for history during the pandemic period. Thank you so much!
  • Byzantium is one of the most complex, weird, and little known side of roman history!
  • Absolutely amazing. Are you gonna continue this collaboration with Robin chronologically? I would love to see the Episode about the Final War done in this fashion, one of my favorite podcast episodes of all time.
  • Thank you for posting this! There is so much history out there, more than we will ever know.
  • This video is absolutely brilliant. I love the narration in particular. Please get this guy to do the rest, he is the best by far tbh
  • @Du-Masses
    Wow. I’ve seen a lot, I mean a whole lot of documentaries on Rome and Byzantium (because I’m a huge history nerd) but I actually heard myself say (at least a few times): “I didn’t know that.” Thanks dude! Subscribed!
  • @1992zorro
    I see you went back to the basics of animation, music and overall design. And let me tell you, never change a winning team. Amazing and engaging episode without all those weird fancy 3D character models. It's much more personal seeing the paintings of these amazing historical characters.
