Nerva

Vespasian

Nerva was the first of the 'Five Good Emperors', and came to power in 96 AD. He appears as a supporting character in 'Rome XI - The Pax Romana' and as a main character in 'Rome XII - The Five Good Emperors'.

## Prior to his reign

Nerva’s early life was unknown, being a mysterious figure that pops up in big events. The first Roman records of his existence was in the time of Nero, being a free diplomat that helped the emperor and other governors. He became a part-time advisor to Nero in his early reign, becoming the Praetor of Rome for his administration skills in 65 AD.

### Pisonian Conspiracy of 65 AD

Nerva was a major contributor in revealing the plot against Nero’s reign. 36 individuals were either executed, forced to commit suicide or exiled. Nerva and Tigellinus (Nero’s Guard) received the highest awards from Nero. After Nero’s death, Nerva fled and hid with Domitian until Vespasian became the Emperor.

### Nerva and Vespasian

Nerva and Vespasian formed a great relationship before Nero’s death. During this, he is called to be the guardian of Domitian, Vespasian’s son. After Vespasian took over, Nerva was called up again to be one of Vespasian’s advisors. This is when it’s believed Nerva became a full-time senator, soon taking the consulship in 71.

### Flavian Dynasty

Nerva continued to be an advisor for Titus and Domitian after Vespasian’s death, getting another consulship in 90. After Domitian’s assassination in 96, he was appointed by the assassins of Domitian to be the Emperor.

## Reign

During his reign, Nerva tried his best to appease the senators, for instance, by lowering taxes. However, this mean that he also let the assassins of Domitian escape. The Praetorian Guard, dissatisfied by this, captured Nerva and killed the assassins. He was released soon after, and adopted Trajan, a popular general, as his heir, dying soon after. This action resulted in him being put in the highest names in Roman History as the first of the Five Good Emperors.

## Trivia

* Nerva may have been coerced by Trajan, who may have been behind the siege of his residence but left unharmed as he was only told to meet their demands to condemn Domitian's assassins and made Trajan as his heir as means of support.
* While Nerva had been considered one of the Five Good Emperors, his reign lacked any noteworthy achievements other than appointing Trajan as his heir.
* Nerva is the longest recurring character whilst still being alive. He was present in three major episodes.
Marcian

Procopius Anthemius (son-in-law)

**Marcian** was the Eastern Roman Emperor who was married to Aelia Pulcheria after Theodosius II died without any male heirs.

## In Unbiased History

### "The Fall of Rome"

Marcian was present at North Africa as one of the Palatini officers when the Vandals invaded the province. He was spared by Geiseric as a mean of his visions. He would be crowned as Emperor by Aelia Pulcheria after the death of her brother, Theodosius II. Marcian had little appearance in the episode, save for his coronation as an Emperor by Pulcheria and refusal to aid Avitus against the Vandals. He would later leave the world along with Pulcheria who would later be suceeded by Leo The Thracian.

## “Trivia”

* Like Martinian, he was drawn as an alien —more specifically Marvin the Martian from Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies— as a pun from his name being similar to Martian.
* Much of Marcian’s actions—namely the Council of Chalcedon, ceasing tributes to Attila, and successful military incursions into Hunnic Empire that may have forced Attila to retreat from Italy—were omitted while portraying him as an inactive figure.
John The Cappadocian

John the Cappadocian is the finance minister under the rule of Justinian The Great. His tax policies caused resentment among the elites and sparked the Nika Riots.

## "Trivia"

* John the Cappadocian was known for his embezzlement, operation of his own private prison to coerce wealthy citizens into handing over their wealth, and decadent lifestyle by using said embezzled wealth for luxurious mansion, though this may have been exaggeration by his contemporaries like John the Lydian and Zacharias.
Julius Nepos

Julius Nepos was one of the last Roman Emperors in the West and also one of the last of the Julii Family of Caesar's bloodline.

## "Trivia"

* Julius Nepos' position in Italy was hampered by a civil war between Zeno and Basiliscus, which former was unable to send aid as a result.
* In reality, Nepos was murdered by two of his generals rather than invasion of Dalmatia--which is actually done so in retaliation of Nepos' death--by Odoacer.
* He deserves some small amount of credit for the attempted restoration of the empire briefly invading the Gallic Coast, however due to the complete and utter lack of any competent leader, the game was rigged from the start .
Diocletian

**Diocletian**

Galerius (son-in-law)

## "Trivia"

* Some theorized that Diocletian may have killed Carus, along with Numerian and Carinus, due to absurd nature of his official death along with omissions and exaggerations--especially Carinus--to make his regime palatable to masses.
* Diocletian is a child of a freed man, which is ironic as his reforms--especially hereditary professions and locking farmers to their lands--stifled social mobility of Roman citizens.
* While Diocletian is worshipper of traditional Roman deities, the reason for his staging of Great Persecution late into his reign is unknown aside from caving into pressures--also purportedly starting a fire at Imperial Palace--by more zealous Galerius.
* As the "Unbiased History" was shown with satirical bias towards Romans, much of his failures were generally portrayed as well-intentioned or being the fault of the people than his own shortfalls.
	+ His attempt at standardizing prices failed due to his lack of economic acumen on supply-and-demands that often led to black market deals and disobedience that was compounded by its unenforceable nature.
	+ His introduction of proto-Serfdom and taxation based on necessary resources (food, metal, livestock, and manpower) may have doomed the Western Empire--Eastern Empire being urbanized and lack proper climate for Latifundia-style plantation system to lock majority of farmers into servitude--as many peasants found it difficult to move beyond their station, which resulted in soldier shortages that often led to hiring the often-unreliable Germanic Barbarians for manpower. In turn, this would lead in part to the manorial system--or self-sufficient rural farming settlement with farmers being bounded to their landlord--commonly implemented during the Medieval period, along with the feudal system of land grants in exchange for loyal military service in Byzantine Empire.
	+ While his gold-based solidus would be adopted by succeeding Constantinian dynasty, the existence of low-denomination silver coins made it difficult for the currency to be widely adopted.
	+ His tetrarchy system eventually collapsed after his reign, which only further divide the East and West Roman Empire in terms of administration.

* His role was changed in Byzantium miniseries in a more negative manner, especially Justinian and Maurice (though in a more respectful manner due to adopting some of his measures) due to heavily-Christianized Roman empire.
* While he died at his palace in Dalmatia, his true death is still up to debate.
* Diocletian reconstructed Palmyra, albeit at a much smaller scale. However, given Palmyra's reputation in the series, this was left out
Pliny the Younger

**Pliny the Younger,** was a lawyer, author, and magistrate of Ancient Rome. Pliny's uncle, Pliny the Elder, helped raise and educate him. Pliny was also a good friend of Tacitus and Suetonius and once he became governor of Bithynia he showed his hatred for the christcucks asking Trajan what to do with them but he was told to do nothing.
Barbatio

**Barbatio** was a Roman general of the infantry (Magister Peditum = Master of Foot) under the command of Constantius II. Previously he was a commander of the household troops (*protectores domestici*) under Gallus Caesar, but he arrested Gallus under the instruction of Constantius, thereby ensuring his promotion on the death of Claudius Silvanus. In 359, both he and his wife Assyria were arrested and beheaded for treason against Constantius, possibly as part of a plot by Arbitio, a senior cavalry commander (Magister Equitum = Master of Horse), and another exponent of the forms of scheming and political intrigue that became such a part of the later Roman Empire.
Constantius II

Maximian (Grandfather)

Constantine II (Elder Brother)

Constans I (Younger Brother)

Constantius II (*Flavius Julius Constantius) (317-361)* was the middle child of Constantine The Great. Due to his mother's upbringing, he grew cynical and socially distant. Despite this he was able to be a competent emperor.

2. Rome XVII - Imperial Wrath
3. Rome XVIII - Barbarians at the Gates (Mentioned)

Byzantium II - Justinian The Great (Flashback)

## "Trivia"

* Constantius II may have conspired with Constantine II and Constans in executing every male relatives except Julian and his brothers.
* Constatius II's fervent Arianism was omitted (or at least, lack prominent display) due to the show's portrayal of denomination in negative manner.
* Contrary to the series, Constantius II hated Julian--whose father was also executed by him to secure power--and sent him to Gaul as a mean to get rid of him.
	+ Furthermore, much of Julian's "insubordinate" colleagues may have been working under his order to humiliate him to prevent a usurpation, which failed and would have led to a civil war had he not perished before a major battle.
Gelimer

**Gelimer** was a Vandal king who overthrew Hilderic. He would become the last king of the Vandal Kingdom when Belisarius invaded North Africa and recaptured it back into the fold of the Roman Empire.

## "Trivia"

* Gelimer's first brother Ammatas who died in a botched ambush was called "Mudhut Hans", while his second brother was Tzazo.
* Gellimer's quote "barbar of barbars, everything is barbar" in Unbiased History was its own version of "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity", a passage from Ecclesiastes that he presumably quoted during his parading as a prisoner at Belisarius' triumph.
* Historically, Gelimer surrendered to Justinian and was allowed to live in Galatia.
* The feast of bones and ketchup Gelimer prepared might Possibly be a reference to the Undertale character Sans who is a skeleton who drinks ketchup
Huns

The Huns are an ethnic species of demons. They are among the most destructive, immoral and barbaric of the barbarians, even more than the Germs, who were just slaughtered in their conquest. They were Turkic (no racism tho. It's just that they are part-Mongolian.). For some weird reason they deform their own skulls which just further proves the point that they are a danger to civilisation.

One famous Hun is Attila, who led a massive invasion into the Eastern Roman Empire and Gallic province in 5th Century AD that the former--under Theodosius II--bribed them in large sums of fortunes. Using the offer of marriage from Honoria, who was upset over being married off to a Roman senator, Attila used her dowry of entire Western Roman Empire as a means to invade. He was later stymied by Aetius as Catalaunian Plains, where he was also opposed by Franks, Goths, and other Germanic tribes that his horde pushed out. Despite the setbacks, Huns would then launched an attack into Italy and destroying Aquileia that forced the survivors to settle on a nearby island that would become Venice. Attila was only stopped when Pope Leo showed up and talked with him, changing him and his Hun army to spurdos.

In the most anticlimactic way, Attila and his newly-spurdo horde would head back home without a second thought before dispersing moments after Attila died from nosebleed during a wedding between him and a Gothic woman.

## "Trivia"

* To this day the origin of Huns is still debated, with one theory asserting they were descendants of Xiong Nu, who were driven out of Mongolia and later moved westward into Caspian Sea.
	+ There are also conflations between the Huns and Hephtalites, or White Huns as they were known, who were portrayed in the series as a demonic threat to Sassanid Persia, as representation of their conflict with the Hephtalites until the reign of Khosrow I.
* Huns also had many Germanic tribes--such as Gepids and Ostrogoths--many of whom intermarried and integrated into Hunnic aristocracy.
* Hunnic use of siege weapons, which allowed them to take and sack Roman walled cities unlike the Germanic warlords, may have been the result of interactions with Romans from either captured citizenry or their cooperation with Romans during their times as mercenaries.
* Like Sarmatians and other steppe nomadic groups, after Attila's meeting with Pope Leo, the Huns were depicted as Spurdos until the end of the series.
Lepidus

**Lepidus** was a Roman commander, follower and friend of Julius Caesar during the last years of the Roman Republic.

He was a senator and alright commander who fought with in several battles, but unfortunately after invading Sicily from Sextus Pompey he decided to claim it for himself and was subsequently kicked out of the triumvirate, after that he died after watching the paint dry, his favourite hobby.

## "Trivia"

* Out of all the Second Triumvirate, Lepidus seems to be the least influential of the group that may be result of his bad luck or historical revision by pro-Octavian chroniclers.
Constantine III Heraclius

Constantine III Heraclius was the son of Heraclius from his first wife Eudokia. He was shown as Chad in the show, and would have been the next Emperor with his half-brother Heraklonas as co-ruler and eventually his successor after his untimely death.

* Constantine III and Martina were not amiable since Constantine put his supporters in power to check on her and eventually removed after his death.
Leo IV the Khazar

Leo IV the Khazar is the Emperor of Byzantine Empire who succeeded after his father and reigned for 5 years (775-780). His moniker came from his maternal Khazar heritage. He only appeared in Byzantine History SPEEDRUN. He died after five years due to illness and suceeded by Constantine VI and his wife Irene of Athens.

## Trivia

* Had Unbiased History animated Leo IV the Khazar, he would have at least half of his face be Spurdo Sparde--usual done on Steppe-tribe characters--due to his half-Khazar heritage.
* Leo IV was known to be just as capable as his father and grandfather, which he would have been known as great Emperor had he lived longer.
Ancus Marcius

**Ancus Marcius** was the fourth king of Rome, who traditionally reigned 24 years. Upon the death of the previous king, Tullus Hostilius, the Roman Senate appointed an interrex, who in turn called a session of the assembly of the people who elected the new king. Ancus is said to have ruled by waging war as Romulus did, while also promoting peace and religion as Numa Pompilius did and he died by making the biggest mistake trusting a barbarian.

## Trivia

* Historically, Roman's architecture and aqueducts were adopted from Greeks and Etruscans with the show's sarcastic humor replacing them with Trojans.
Cniva

**Cniva** is the demon king of Goths who was infamous for leading a Germanic horde in Balkans and killing Decius at Abritus. He was one of the major threats posing to Roman Empire during the Third Century Crisis.

## "Trivia"

* Cniva is also a Germanic word for "knife".
* While Trebonian Gallus paid tribute to him, it was unlikely that he was collaborating with him to get Decius killed in battle.
* The Unbiased History's Cniva also based the elements from Cannobaudes, who was killed by Aurelian and assumed to be Cniva twenty years after Abritus.

## "Trivia"

* Daia is actually a erroneous form of "Daza"--his name of Illyrian origin--written by Lactantius.

* Based on contemporary accounts, Daia died from Hyperthyroidism or Suicide in contrast to Galerius' death from gangrene. He also might have died from Graves disease.
* He was the last ruler to use the title of pharaoh, making his death the final end of the 3,400-year old title. That is unless someone claims it again, however that would be very unlikely.

## "Trivia"

* Unlike other Persian generals under Khosrow II, Rahzadh may have been of Armenian origin.
* Similar to Shahraplakan, he is armed with Daedric Warhammer from Skyrim.
* The major historical account by Nikephoros and Theophanes the Confessor stated that Rahzadh was struck down in one blow by Heraclius, who took his luxurious armor and shield as a war trophy, both of whom were in mounted combat.
* Historically, Rahzadh's duel with Heraclius occured in the middle of the battle that was in stalemate due to desertion of Khazar contingent from Roman army and fresh reinforcement on his side.
	+ Due to his sudden death along with majority of his officers who challenged the aging Heraclius to a duel, the troop lost morale and retreated after heavy losses.
"Diocletian's Tetrarchy"

## "Trivia"

* The Janitor Wojak is based on Mr. Morris, the janitor from Arthur series.
* The lesser demon in the episode, a virgin with demonic marking, may have been either Bahram II (reigning at the time of Carus' invasion into Persia and busy dealing with rebellions in modern-day Afghanistan when Carus invaded),or Bahram III (usurped by Narseh).
* it is believed that Diocletian was behind the death of many of his predecessors.this may explain the extremely rare and strange deaths of various emperors who followed Aurelian.
* a myth says that Constantius was a secret Christian and that is why he did not participate in the great persecution.This is in doubt but it is likely that he did not persecute Christians because his ex-wife/mistress (that was very close to his son) was of that religion and that would put her in danger.
* The Intro is a parody of the *Friends* Intro
* The Line “remove 99.9% of germs” is a obvious reference to the popular marketing slogan

	+ In fact, there was an account of him by Theophylact Simocatta giving an eloquent speech to Tiberius II upon his leaving.
* While Justin II's reign was known for his mediocrity and his stress-induced madness, his situation was also compounded by depleted treasury and overextended borders thanks to Justinian's expensive endeavors such as massive building projects and military campaigns that also made his ability to maintain the empire difficult.
* The quotes from Justin II's insane phrase are Roman-themed quotes based on Alex Jones, whose conspiracy theories has become part of the meme culture.
	+ This was compounded with his insane version wearing a foil hat, a general attribute of paranoid conspiracy theorist.
* Justin II was reigning when Mohamed was supposely born in 570
Constantine V

Constantine the V is the Byzantine Emperor who succeeded his father, Leo III of Isaurian, reigned for 34 years (741-775). Like his father, he continued the Iconoclast policies that earned the ire of Iconophiles enough to earn him the moniker of "Kopronymos", or dung-named, which was based on his rumor that he defecated during the baptism as a child. Despite his persecution against icons, probably influenced by coup by Artabasdos who gained support from Icon supporters (Iconophiles), he reformed the Byzantine's military structure and infrastructure that further restored the Byzantine empire after its near destruction by the Arabs. He was mentioned as part of Byzantine History SPEEDRUN. He would be suceeded by his eldest son, Leo IV the Khazar.

## Trivia

* There would be two portrayals of Constantine the V depending on the show's context.
	+ Chad: Constantine the V would have been portrayed as a Chad who was unfairly blemished by Iconophile with Iconoclasm being shown as true way.
	+ Wojak/Virgin: Like Theodosius The Great, his iconoclast policies would be blown out of proportions while ignoring his accomplishments.

* Ironically, despite his iconoclast policies, Constantine the V patronized secular arts.
* Constantine V was rumored to have defecated as a child during baptism, which many of his enemies--especially Theophanes the Confessor--called him *Kopronymos*, or "Dung-Named".
* His efforts in restoring the aqueduct of Constantinople spawned a legend of his slaying of a dragon that terrorized the workers.
* Constantine was married three times,
	+ His first wife--Tzitzak ("Irene of Khazaria")--presumable died after giving birth to Leo IV the Khazar.
	+ His second wife--Maria--died a year after being an empress without any children.

* He was the last emperor to have Rome in its possession before losing the city in 751 to the lombards

## "Trivia"

* Historically, he was betrothed to Galla Placidia as a means to bring close ties with Honorius after defeating two usurpers named Sebastianus and Jovinus, rather than being claimed as his wife and rape her.
* His contributions in eliminating Jovinus and Sebastanius along with their Germanic allies were instead relegated to Constantius III, who only campaigned in northern Hispania long after his death.

## Trivia

* Had the series continued, he would most likely be portrayed as a Chad due to his reign marking the turning point for the Byzantine Empire after Arab Invasion in 7th century.
	+ By contrast, his brothers--Heraclius and Tiberius--would have been virgins.

* His reign also saw a resurgence of Byzantine navy and introduction of Greek Fire.
* His defeat at Battle of Ongal, which his departure due to ill health caused the army to rout by accident, led to formation of Bulgar state as he was forced to recognize their settlement.
Gallic Empire

The Gallic Empire at the height of it's power

The ***Gallic Empire*** was a separatist state created by Postumus with the help of traitorous legions during the Crisis of the Third Century. This state was made up of the western regions of the Roman Empire, in exchange for protection against barbarian incursions and held until serious trouble arose and Aurelian defeated the traitors years later.

## Rome XV: The Crisis of the Third Century

As the crisis worsened and the army was unable to keep the barbarians out of the Imperial borders, the news of Valerian's defeat and horrific demise hit the demoralized western regions like a hammer.

When the Franks finally arrived and invaded Hispania and the Alemanni marched on Rome, Gallienus destroyed them, forcing the survivors to flee with slaves and gold until Postumus defeated them. Rather than return the wealth, Postumus revealed his true colors. Using wealth to bribe his legions of plebs; he was proclaimed emperor when inflation and plague were at their height; he then laid siege to Colonia Aggippinensium (Colonia), killed Salonius and Sylvanas, and using Valerian's fate as a rallying cry, convinced the pillaged western regions to join him in revolt in exchange for protection: thus creating the Gallic Empire.

As much as Gallienus wanted to gather more forces as possible to crush this rebellion, the plagues keep killing to many people to even replenish his armies.

The Romans pushed back Postumus and retake some lost ground, but Aureolus betray Gallienus and let the usurper escape. In one Occasion, Postumus was encircled but managed to flee, with Aureolus proclaming loyalty to him. After being ignored, he surrendered to the now emperor Cladius Gothicus, only to be killed by the Praetorians; while in the Gallic Empire, Postumus dealt with a usurper at Mainz and was killed by his plebs for refusing to sack the city.

After a long list of usurpations, Tetricus inherited what was left of the empire, but with Cladius II too ill to respond, he prepared to retake the provinces that Rome had recaptured... only for Aurelian to finally arrive and defeat the traitors years later.
Gratian

Valentinian II (Half brother)

Flavia Galla (Half sister)

Justina (Step mother)

Valens (Uncle)

Constantia (Wife)

Constantius II (Father-in-law)

Gratian was a Roman Emperor who ruled over Gaul, Britannia, and Hispania from 375-383.

## In "Unbiased History"

In summer 367, Valentinian became ill at Civitas Ambianensium (Amiens), raising questions about his succession. On recovery, he presented his then eight-year-old son to his troops on 24 August, as his co-*augustus* (r. 367–383), passing over the customary initial step of *caesar*.

After Valentinian died from stroke by yelling at barbarian envoys too angrily, he became one of the two Western Roman Emperors, the other being his half-brother Valentinian II, who presided over Italia, Pannonia, and North Africa.

He attempted to march his troops to his uncle Valen's domain in the Eastern Roman Empire to help him campaign against the goths, but Valens became impatient and fought the Goths by himself without the support of Gratian. As a result, Valens and his army was slaughtered after being surrounded by the barbarians. It wasn't also help that he was stymied by Merobaudes, who took most of the first detachments sent to contain the Goths and deny reinforcement for Battle of Adrianople.

Gratian arrived after the death of his uncle, and appointed Theodosius (the son of the prominent general Theodosius the Elder, who campaigned for his father, Valentinian) as the Eastern Emperor as he was too busy dealing with problems in western part of the Roman Empire.

Unfortunately for Gratian, Magnus Maximus revolted from Britannia and raided Gaul. Gratian faced him in modern day Paris, but his army deserted to his side. Because of this, he fled to Lyons where he was killed.

## "Trivia"

* Gratian allegedly neglected his rule on Western Roman Empire by spending time with Scythians on hunting trips that he was seen dressed as a Scythian before being killed by the soldiers.
* Unlike his more pragmatic father, Gratian has been known to be more zealous due to his crackdown on paganism that included his decree to remove Altar of Victory endorsed by Ambrose.
* One the that was omitted from the series is that Gratian married Constantia the only child of former emperor Constantius II.
Episodes by Dovahhatty outside of Unbiased History

Following a breakdown at the end of the Sassanid war episode,Dovahatty decide to try other kind of content,from country history to video games lore .

## Trivia

* The girl in the tumbail of the israel video is negev from gun frontline,a personnification of the machine guns used by the israelian army,hence the joke.
* The videos of the new format ask for considerably less efforts and work than the Unbiased History,this maybe one of the reasons dovhatty decide to refocus his channel on more childish subjects.
* The reason evoked for the hiatus of unbiased history is the problem with the depiction of the Muslims in the futur episodes,this argument is debatable at best,considering the caricatural view the series always revendiqued.
	+ Furthermore, much of important Muslim figures--especially Prophet Muhammed--were generally iconoclastic and any humanistic depiction is seen as blasphemous to the point that many historical movies on Rise of Islam had to use second-hand account from other characters and off-screen appearances in lieu of them.
* if this tweet can be take as a proof,more episodes on byzantium where planned,before the series got on indefinite hiatus.

The ape

Dovahhatty is a history "Youtuber" who originates from /his/. He is currently living in Brazil, but has both Brazilian and Italian descent. He was the inventer of the unbiased formula

He is known for producing the "Unbiased History" series, in which he portrays the events of the creation of the Roman Republic all the way until its destruction. The moniker of being "Unbiased" is satire, as he frequently embellishes events and makes characters out to be "Chads" and "Wojaks" based on his personal preference of them. He also uses a lot of edgy and quite frankly newfag humor in his videos.

## Origins

Dovahhatty traces his origins from /His/. A board on 4chan in which users anonymously congregate to post satirical or informative threads and share images or short messages to add to a greater topic. His first video was posted on /His/ and the two after this. However, once he grew too big and popular and began attracting a non /His/ crowd, he was quickly banished for being a shill

As of march 23 2022 he is stated he is going to do a signefect amount of fantasy works for a while.

Domitian

**Domitian** was a late 1st Century Emperor and the last of the Flavian Dynasty. He was the youngest son of the Emperor Vespasian and younger brother of Titus (his predecessor), his reign was marked with the unsubtle hatred between him and the Senate.

Interestingly, the Praetorian Guard played no (known) role in the emperor’s assassination; this might partially be due to his immense popularity among the common soldiers.

## "Trivia"

* Domitian remained a controversial Emperor due to his autocratic rule yet managed to make Roman Empire prosper for the golden age of the Five Good Emperors.
* Much of Domitian's rule were written by pro-senate Chroniclers--especially Tacitus, Suetonius, and Pliny The Younger--who tend to portray Domitian in negative light along with his records being erased as part of Nerva's damnatio memoriae to appease the Senate.
	+ Due to this situation and recent studies that vindicated much of his reputations, Unbiased History's portrayal of him as a Chad was justified.
* Domitian was a devout worshipper of his patron deity Minerva; traces of this can still be seen in the figurative decorations of the Forum “of Nerva”.
Demon

**Demons** is a term used to describe a race of destructive, barbaric and wicked beings, who inhabit the Land of Eternal Chaos (Germs) and the steppes (Huns). Unlike other barbarians (Gauls, Slavs, Britons, etc.), Demons are utterly insane and barbaric, and thus cannot be civilized, but some (like the Huns and other nomads), can be pacified to a certain extent.

As mentioned previously, the Demons are divided into Germans/Germs, and nomads (Huns, Scythians, Sarmatians, Turks, Avars, although these peoples were mostly pacified and turned into Spurdos). Demons are so barbaric and filled with hatred, to the point that only destruction of civilization itself can satisfy their wicked souls.

Another example of demons are the Sassanids.

Below are some images that show Demons
Procopius Anthemius

* Virgin/Baby
* Wojack/Adult

Ricimer (son-in-law)

Marcian (father-in-law)

**Procopius Anthemius** (420-472) is the grandson of a Great men. He was a puppet of Ricimer, put on the throne by Leo I, who would not be one.

## In "Unbiased History"

### **"Barbarians at the Gates"**

As a baby, he is held in the arms of Anthemius' daughter who saw the disappearace of his grandfather Anthemius. Unlike the Chad grandfather, he was drawn as a Virgin (possible inheriting from his father who was drawn in such manner as well).

### **"The Fall of Rome"**

Procopius, now an adult and no longer a virgin, is approached by Leo after Geiseric's demand of Olybrius being emperor were denied. As he sought to sort out military challenges within the empire, he wanted help, so wrote a letter to a civilized British king, but he would die just outside the Kingdom of Soissons. Procopius' life would end after successfully thwarting an assassination plot, causing Ricimer, his "puppeteer," to behead him. His legacy is that of the last competent Western Roman Emperor.

## Triva

* He should be a Chad instead of a Wojak as he was a capable Emperor who was able to fend off the Barbarians despite its weak position and his demise.
	+ This may have been a reason from his change from Virgin as an infant to Wojak in next episode due to the author's realization of his attempt to stabilize Rome.

* Procopius Anthemius is considered the last effective Roman Emperor with Majorian being the last Emperor to attempt to restore the Western Roman Empire.
Gordian III

**Gordian III** *(Marcus Antonius Gordianus)* was a Roman emperor from 238 to 244. At the age of 13, he became the youngest sole emperor of the united Roman Empire. Gordian was the son of Antonia Gordiana and Junius Balbus, who died before 238. Antonia Gordiana was the daughter of Emperor Gordian I and younger sister of Emperor Gordian II. Very little is known of his early life before his acclamation. Gordian had assumed the name of his maternal grandfather in 238.

## Gordian III

### Relatives

Timesitheus (father-in-law)
Remus

Remus is the twin-brother of Romulus, many barbarians and plebs claimed he was murdered by his brother, but in THE TRUE reality he was pushed out of the top of a construction by a "time traveling "barbarian" sent by "someone". in his dying breath telling romulus to name the city Rome after him as Reme would be a shitty name

## "Trivia"

* In the original account, Romulus murdered Remus with reasons ranging from an argument-turned-violent or attempting to consolidate power for himself.
Narses

Narses is a Roman official during the Justinian's reign.

## "Trivia"

* Historically, Narses was proactive and capable commander during the Gothic War in Italy.
* Narses was also a eunuch, where his lack of genitals was mentioned in the episode.
* A legend about Narses exists were he was recalled from Rome and taken to Constantinople where the Emperor is said to have insulted him. Enraged he vowed to make a thread of which The Emperor would never untie. He then invited the Lombard to Italy. The truth of the legend is not verified and most likely an exaggeration.

## "Trivia"

* Contrast to Unbiased History, Carthage was a maritime power with their ships being reconstructed and adapted by the Romans rather than being treated as garbage.
* Historically, Carthage was rebuild due to its strategic importance and even managed to outpace Rome as a major city.
* Dido herself was mythical founder, but shown in both Carthaginian and Greek stories before Aeneid by Virgil.
	+ Purportedly, she founded the city when the locals only offer the land covered by cow-hide, which she got around by making thin stripes of them to create a surrounding to create a city.
Gaius Marius

Gaius Marius was a Roman general in the late 2nd century BC to early 1st century BC. He was a member of the Populares faction and he fought Sulla during a civil war. He also created the Marian reforms in 107 BC, completely changing the way the Roman army operated as the previous system was not suited for such a large nation. For the first time equipment was standardized.

## "Trivia"

* Gaius Marius is actually a capable General who fought hard during the war against Cimbri rather than solely done by Sulla.
* He is also the uncle of Julius Caesar, whom was almost executed due to being one of his relatives and a member of Populares.
Camelot

Celtic languages

**Camelot** was a legendary Post-Roman kingdom in Britannia and one of the very few civilized countries at the time.

## In "Unbiased History"

### "Rome XIX-The Fall of Rome"

When Procopius Anthemius was realize the horrible situation the Western Empire was in, he decided to hear the rumors of a civilized king in the former Roman Britannia and ask (if it was real) for assistance.

The knights informed their king about the letter and requested to go and help the Empire. The king acepted and with permition of Aegidius , they landed on continental europe, winning many battles until a terrible betrayl cause the retreat to the city of Avalon.

There the King of the Britons, Arthur died and the traitor will be remembered as Mordred.

## "Trivia"

* Camelot is at best a mythical place based on Arthurian lore; however, there are theories of King Arthur being a Roman officer--possibly Lucius Artorius Castus or Riothamus--who fended off the Saxon invaders after the Romans left the island province.
Fabius Maximus

**Fabius Maximus** was a Roman statesman and general during the Punic war, and he was so liked that the people made him dictator. Fabius during his time as dictator created the Fanbian tactics, which was avoiding masive battles in favor of smaller battles, and this strategy has been used by many other military minds throughout history. However the plebs being plebs didn’t want to listen to a patrician’ got rid of Fabius in favor of Minicius, who lost horribly against the punics. After this Fabius lived the rest of his life offscreen.
Publius Quinctilius Varus

Publius (More like Pubicus HAH!) Quinctilius Varus was an absolute cockwomble. He just straight up trusted the germs and got himself ambushed with 3 legions. He is one of the reasons why Rome eventually fell due to the germs surviving. He could’ve not trusted Arminius and then not fuck up the conquest of Germania but fuck no, he just had to trust the stupid god damn germs.

## "Trivia"

* While Varus was treated as a person responsible for the defeat at Teutoburg Forest, he wasn't as naivete historically as Arminius had managed to have records of service and loyalty to not cause doubt on his loyalty along with his actually-loyal brother Flavus.
* Varus was approached by Segestes, a Germanic chief loyal to Romans, who tried to expose Arminius' ambush but revoked due to Arminius' seemingly loyal service.
Arminius

**Arminius** was a Germanic barbarian of Cherusci tribe, who betrayed Rome by leading three legions into his tribe's ambush in Teutoburg Forest. As a child, Arminius was taken in by Drussus as a mean to romanize him but he still has the evil nature of his Germ heritage that was well-hidden by his loyal facade until the Teutoburg massacre. He also served "loyally" in putting down a revolt in the province of Pannonia.

## In Unbiased History

### Rome IX: Augustus.

In 9 AD/CE, Arminius deceived Publius Quinctilius Varus into quashing a "rebellion"--an embellishment he created to get the Legion to march through the forest--despite the concerns by his officers. When the three legions came into Teutoberg Forest, the Germs massacred them at the legion's vulnerable position in obstructive forest environment with those failing to escape being sacrificed to their malicious deities. His treachery not only broken Augustus enough for him to occasionally scream for Varus to bring back the now destroyed legions during his depression, it also dashed the Rome's hope of conquering Germania.

### Rome X: The Mad Emperors

Fortunately, Arminius didn't suffer long in the years when Germanicus was appointed the Rhine Legions during their mutiny between 14 and 16 AD/CE . As a mean to avenge the Legions at Teutoberg and redirect the discontentment of Rhine Legion towards their true foes, Arminius' tribe was invaded by Germanicus, who devasted his tribe's military and taken his wife as a hostage. Finally, in 21 AD/CE, he was murdered by a treacherous Cherusci tribesman as befitting his fate as a treacherous Germ by being assassinated.

## "Trivia"

* Arminius had a brother named Flavus, who was an opposite to Arminius as he served with Rome and even participated in retaliation campaign during Tiberius' reign.
	+ In addition, he also had the ire of Segestes--the father of his wife, Thusnelda--who was a pro-Roman and even tried to warn about Arminius' planned ambush that was rebuked due to Arminius' seemingly loyal nature along with his Cherusci followers.

* One of the major downfall of Arminius was his alienation from Germanic tribes, who worried about his increasingly autocratic rule that led to his death by a Germanic noble after Germanicus' retaliation campaign.
Geta

Geta was caracalas virgin litle brother. he had a extreme hate for Caracalla despite his older brothers love for him. he was eventuly murderd by his Praetorians to Caracalla's anger.

## "Trivia"

* In reality, Geta wasn't the only one resentful of Caracalla as both of them lived separately, shared mutual hatred towards each other, and had armed retinues as bodyguard.
* Geta was actually killed by Caracalla and was given Damnatio Memoriae, which also involved being erased from the arch.
Alexander The Great

Alexander III of Macedonia, or Alexander the Great, was the King of Macedonia and Conqueror of Achaemenid Persia. He is only mentioned, but we can assume by Dovah's perspectives of him that he was a virgin and at most a wojack. He was in many ways inferior to Augustus Caesar like him being 20 at ascension but Augustus being 19, yet somehow more recognized than him. Germs or Persians likely spread lies about Augustus.

## Trivia

* Alexander The Great was actually an extremely skilled general who managed to take over all of the Persian empire in 4 years and never lost a battle in his life, despite Emperor Aurelian, --to whom Dovah claims he is inferior to-- did.
* Historically, Romans --including Julius Caesar-- admired Alexander the Great.

* Constantine read many texts about Alexander’s life. Constantine had a chance of being a new Alexander but eventually decided to civilize Christianity instead. Alexander is recognized for his military success, whereas Constantine is credited for his religious reforms.
* Greekoid influence and culture spread throughout the middle east and beyond thanks to Alexander, including dozens of cities founded in his name.
* Had the series is made under Greek perspective, he would have been shown as Chad.

## "Trivia"

* The "Kingdom" title Soissons may have been either a misnomer or a general term of polities since Soissons was mostly a roman holdout than an independent kingdom.
* While the kingdom fell with the death of their last ruler Syagrius, Aegidius' family lived on and served under the new Frankish ruler.
