In which John Green teaches you about the fall of the Roman Empire, which happened considerably later than you may have been told. While the Western Roman Empire fell to barbarians in 476 CE, the Byzantines in Constantinople continued the Eastern Empire nicely, calling themselves Romans for a further 1000 years. Find out what Justinian and the rest of the Byzantine emperors were up to over there, and how the Roman Empire dragged out its famous Decline well into medieval times. In addition to all this, you'll learn about ancient sports riots and hipster barbarians, too.

Love these videos but I wish this mother fucker would talk slower.

1. 6:38 if you're gonna show an image of Hagia Sophia during the Eastern Roman times, go ahead and show one without the Islamic minarets, dumbass
2. Hagia Sophia is not a mosque, you moron, it's been a museum since the early 20th c.
3. Justinian should not be your favorite Byzantine Emperor. He was against religious freedom and closed down the Philosophical School of Athens. -
Modern Greeks call themselves Hellenes or Romioi(=Romans).
Actually they self identified almost exclusively as Romans from 3rd century AD till the 19th century, since Graekos(=Greek) was/is not a popular term in the East, and Hellenas (=Hellene) came to mean pagan.
They consider both Ancient Greece and the Roman Empire as part of their heritage.
Persians, Arabs and Turks called until recently the modern Greeks Rum(=Romans). Nowadays, modern Turkish people call the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Constantinople "Rum Ortodoks Patrikhanesi", the Greek minority of Turkey "Türkiye Rumları" and Greek Cypriots "Kıbrıs Rumları". On the other hand, they call Greeks from the modern Republic of Greece "Yunanlar"(=Ionians, an ancient greek tribe).

The romans did use auxillaries made of foreigners used for support roles, plus, it's a really bad idea to make soldiers loyal to their commanders or worse money only, soldiers and commanders should be loyal to ROME, then commanders then maybe money, the romans messed up this military loyalty thing that made them fall

No it's NOT, Hagia Sophia is now a Museum NOT a mosque.
