"He will be remembered as Rome's last great general" He will be - once Epic History TV is done.
-
Belisarius deserves his place next to Julius Caeser and Scipio Africanus.
-
10 thousands reinforcements arriving at the battle, bringing the Persian forces to 50 thousands. Andreas : "49.998"
-
This was the first Documentary of The Eastern Roman Empire I've watched without a single word of "Byzantium". Awesome
-
This brings back memories when I was a kid watching Extra History's Justinian series.
-
" For not by numbers of men, nor by measure of body, but by valor of soul is war to be decided. " - Flavius Belisarius.
-
Belisarius achievements should have entitled him to be "Julius Caesar of the Eastern Roman Empire"
-
"Dubious background from the acting profession" me:new insult acquired..
-
Belisarius and Justinian could've been the next Agrippa-Octavian, if only Justinian had his bro's back like Octavian did.
-
Another documentary of epic history about an epic general in an epic time era in an epic video with an epic voice from Epic History TV. ;)
-
There is already some good content about Belisarius and Justinian on the historical side of YouTube but this goes above and beyond it, simply amazing!
-
Well, your video turned better than even I thought would be! Didn't know you were going to cover Calinicum as well. It's a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one! I hope that the rest of the series goes as well as this. Justinian and his crew like Belisarius, Theodora and Narses deserve more coverage than they currently get and I'm sure that you will give them the story they deserve.
-
Great video! Both Justinian and Belisarius deserve more attention then they've previously had. Great to see them finally getting it 😁😁😁
-
In love with this charismatic general since I read Robert Graves' "Belisarius" when I was a teenager
-
I cannot express enough joy to see such a topic picked up, and produced in such a manner like that which mesmerized us for so long, during the entirety of the Napoleonic Wars series. The maps, troops display, battle developments, even the sound effects - and gosh, the narration. Absolutely hooked on this new series, what a joy!
-
They need to make a tv series like the show "Vikings" about Justinian, and Belisarius.
-
So excited you guys are doing Belisarius, what an underrated military genius
-
It was a pleasure to help, guys! Thanks again for reaching out to me!
-
I cannot stress enough how good the animations, illustrations and maps are ! We all knew that the narrator was one of the best in the Youtube game but man, the visual quality struck me in the doc !
