In the end, Galerius proclaimed the end of Great Persecution on Christians as he died from rotted organ.

## "Trivia"

* Galerius was of Dacian origin, which Lactantius--a scholar of his contemporary--accused him of oppression on Roman citizenry as an ancestral vendetta on Trajan's conquest of his homeland centuries ago.
* A major omission from the series was his action at Satala, where he and two of Armenian allies scouted out Narseh’s camp while posing as a cabbage merchants.
* It is theorized that Galerius was the one who staged the Great Persecution as it occurred in the middle of Diocletian's reign, which also evidenced by Galerius' avowed paganism in contrast to more pragmatic Diocletian.
	+ A legend says that he was the one who actually burned down the imperial palace with the purpose of making Diocletian lose his patience and begin the persecution of the Christians. although the latter is still a matter of debate and if true, it worked as he wanted.

* Galerius died from gangrene, possibly from bowel cancer, which explained the rotted organ.
Christopher

**Christopher** is the eldest son of Romanos I who served as his co-ruler along with Constantine VII, and his two younger brothers. His untimely death would cause Stephen and Constantine Lekapenos to usurp their father that indirectly led to restoration of Constantine VII to the throne.

## Trivia

* As Dovahhatty forgot the name of Romanos I's son who died, he would most likely be a candidate.
* Due to his positive portrayal and his status as the primary heir over his younger brothers, who would later be skip over to Constantine VII after his death, Christopher would most likely be a Chad.
* His daughter, Irene, would be married to Peter I of Bulgaria.

## In "Unbiased History"

### "Rome XVII - Imperial Wrath"

## Trivia

* Like Arbogaust, Merobaudes was only stated to be Frankish rather than part-Roman.
* While Merobaudes murdered Theodosius the Elder and known for being a usurper, two of these actions below were done out of sound reasons.
	+ Merobaudes' stalling Gratian from pulling troops out of Rhine and Pannonia was done out of fear against Alemanni, who proved his fear true when they raided at the same time as Valens' battle at Adrianople and would have devastated Gaul if the Rhine and Pannonian legions were transferred out of their areas.
	+ Gratian was already unpopular and his usurpation was a mean to prevent a massive destruction from possible civil war between him and Magnus Maximus.
* One of his descendants, Flavius Merobaudes, is a famous poet
* The death of Merobaudes is debated by historian, due of his record of him being consul after his supposed "death".

Bahram overthrew his superior and declared himself as Shah of the restored Parthian empire. Unfortunately, Khosrow II--the creation of Khosrow and Satan--appeared before the Romans and offered them Dara and Matyrpolis in exchange of deposing him. Bahram counter-offered him with more land, but Khosrow II used his magic to influence Maurice into siding with him. Bahram was then killed by his own soldiers during escape and Khavad II was put on the throne.

## "Trivia"

* Bahram was a member from House of Mihran--one of the seven great noble houses in Sassanid Empire and Parthian origin--and Chobin being his nickname for his immense height.
* He was sent a spindle and chain rather than woman's cloth as an insult for "womanly" and "ungrateful" nature respectively.
* In the series, Bahram had an injured eye but all accounts on him lacked any mentions of such injuries and would be ineligible for the throne as one such requirements to be a Shah is to have a whole body.
* In reality, Bahram made no bargain with Maurice as a means to counter Khosrow II--who actually fled to Constantinople and installed by Maurice willingly.
* Later the rulers of Samanid Empire would claim it's ancestry to Bahram Chobin

## "Trivia"

* Unlike what Unbiased History shows, Mark Anthony always had envy and contempt for Octavian because while he had been Caesar's friend, even at the time of need during all of his campaigns,and suddenly a sickly 18 old boy came out of nowhere and was named Caesar's heir in his last will.
	+ Even in the years after the death of the conspirators, the relationship between these two never ceased to be strained at best and only got worse when he and Octavian were the only ones left from the triumvirate.
* he was a very bad politician and when he was commissioned to be in charge of Rome while Caesar went to fight Pompey, he neglected the city in such a great way that he almost started a revolution against him.
	+ Upon learning of this, Caesar was so angry with him that sent him into exile and this may have made him see that Anthony could not be his heir in case something happened to him and he gave it to Octavian because of to his most calculating and cunning way to make politics.
* In a desperate attempt to discredit Octavian's public image, he said that he had done sexual favors for his own great-uncle and that was why he was named the heir, although this was considered a lie both in his time and today.
* all in all he should have been a virgin
Theodoric Strabo

**Theodoric Strabo** is an Ostrogothic warlord who later betrayed the Eastern Roman Empire during Zeno's reign. He managed to defeat Zeno's army, but he fell from his horse and was impaled by a spear.

## "Trivia"

* To differentiate between him and his Amal counterpart, Chroniclers gave this Theodoric with a "Strabo" moniker.

who rebelled against his Roman masters and started a slave rebellion on the Italian peninsula. he was defeated by Crassus

## "Trivia"

* While much of Spartacus' warbands include Celts and non-Romans, there was little accounts of Germanic slaves among his groups (though they may be present as many of them have history of conflicts with Rome).
* Due to his experience in military, Spartacus was able to organize a fighting force but the contradictory goals of his group along with lack of cohesion marked his downfall.
* While Appian and Florus claimed that Spartacus fell in battle, Appian's claims included his body not being found.
"Holy" "Roman" ""Empire""

The **"Holy" "Roman" ""Empire""** ([[1]])--or Unholy German Confederation--was not holy, Roman, nor an empire: it was a loosely-connected series of glorified Germ tribes under one "emperor," crowned by the cowardly Roman Catholic Church. Then it got overrun by the inbred Habsburgs, and the rest is history.

Also an extremely based monk named Martin Luther told the Catholic Church to go fuck itself, causing a massive schism that still exists to this day, so there's that.

## "Trivia"

* The origin of their name came from Charlemagne being crowned as a Emperor of the Romans by the Pope in Rome as both reward to driving out Lombards and challenge against Irene, who was ruling the Eastern Roman Empire at the time after taking over the throne by blinding her son even if she revoked the Iconoclastic policies of her husband and son .
* The Holy Roman Empire was split into Frankish Kingdom (modern day France) and German Nation (modern day Germany and Austria) after Charles the Fat was deposed by his nephew.
* The major weakness of Holy Roman Empire were its autonomous states--even cities, which would form Hanseatic League in response to its weak navy--which would lead to its replacement by Prussian-led Imperial Germany with Austria being left out.
Shapur I

**Shapur I** was the son of Ardashir and the second ruler of the Demonic Sassanid Empire. Born out of pure evil, he was far more violent, aggressive and destructive than his father or any of his succesors (Exept for Koshrow II) and attack the Roman Empire when it lays in it's weakest point. His notorious deeds include capturing Valerian, who would be tortured and later flayed alive to sate his bloodlust.

Shapur would have destroyed Rome's influence in the east were it not for the efforts and sacrifices of many heroes who opposed his demonic ambitions and at the of the crisis ,he was finally banished from the mortal realm as punish for his evil.

It was all for naught, as Shapur was able to lay an egg, bringing his demonic son Narseh into this world, ensuring that is demonic line will live on to destroy the world.

## "Trivia"

* Historically, Shapur I was considered an effective Shah in Roman history where he revitalized the Zoroastrian culture, launching sucessful campaigns against the Romans with one of them managed to capture Emperor Valerian as prisoner, and urbanizing the provinces of Khuzestan, Asuristan, and Pars by impressing the captured Romans as citizenry.
* While it is true that he took Valerian as a prisoner, his true fate is unclear as the video's fate of him being flayed came from Roman propaganda (also from Christian stories to depict Valerian's death in a horrific manner due to his persecution against Christians).
* Shapur died peacefully from an illness with his son Hormizd I as the successor with Narseh taking over 23 years and four rulers later.
	+ Due to this, he would be dead by the time Palmyrene Empire was formed along with Zenobia's contemporary being Hormizd I.
* Shapur I was the most successful general in Persian history winning a total of 9 battles
Trajan

* Emperor
* Elderly

aka **T R A I A N U S** or **O P T I M U S\* P R I N C E P S\*.** he was one of the greatest emperors if not the greatest emperor of the Roman Empire with only one possible exception his most well known feat that puts him there was that he reached Rome's greatest territorial extension with the conquest of Armenia and Mesopotamia from the Parthians, such was his greatness that when a roman emperor was chosen he would be blessed with the words ***FELICITOR AVGVSTO MELIOR TRAIANO*** (May he be luckier that Augustus and better than Trajan).

## "Trivia"

* Like Hadrian, Trajan may have been homosexual as he lack any heirs and spending time with male companions.
* According to some scholars, Trajan may have been behind Nerva's appointment as his heir due to his influence among the army who remained loyal to Domitian along with possible candidate for taking Nerva hostage until pardoned assassins of Domitian were put to death.

Severus Alexander

### Relatives

## Biographical information

### Place of birth

Arqa (Arca Caesarea in Roman times), Phoenicia(former Lebanon)

## Physical description

### Gender

Male

Severus Alexander (*Marcus Aurelius Severus Alexander)* was the most pussy emperor of all of Rome’s history. He was controlled by his mother Julia Mamaea, a power-hungry cunt, whose tits he sucked for milk even throughout adulthood. He was such a cowardly bitch that when he was facing the Sassanids, he abandoned his campaign despite the fact that his plan was pretty good. The fact that he is a part christcuck and was a descendant from Cleopatra who was a reincarnation of Dido, through his mother's side didn’t help either.

## In "Unbiased History"

### "The Severan Dynasty"

The son of Julia Mamea, Severus Alexander was installed as an emperor after the death of his cousin, Elagabalus. The combination of his youth and his meek nature meant that Julia Mamea was the real power behind the throne. While an advisory council with Ulpianus and Cassius Dio were formed, the former was murdered by Praetorian Guard over his crackdown on their corruption while the latter was exiled to Bithynia over his comedic insults against them. He would be betrothed to a daughter of a senatorial family, but they were then banished due to Julia Mamea's fear of losing her influence over her weak-willed son. Furthermore, his reign would be plagued by rebellions that was compounded by massive cut to Legions and the rising Sassanid Empire. The Romans then launched a campaign against them, but Severus Alexander's cowardice led it into stalemate and only lucky as Ardashir was too busy consuming the bodies of fallen legionnaires. During the same time, German barbarians would increase raids into frontiers would mark the beginning of the end of Severus Alexander's reign as his plans to cut Legion payments as a means pay off the Germans led to his death by frustrated Legions. After their deaths, the Legions would then install Maximinus Thrax as the new emperor that would mark the beginning of The Crisis of the Third Century.

## "Trivia"

* Despite his flaws, namely being raised by his mother at young age and his mediocre military leadership, he was far superior to both his predecessor and successor.
* Contrast to the video, Severus Alexander's southern flank was already surrounded and devastated along with poor supply lines that he was unable to mount a full offensive against the Sassanid.
	+ This also influenced his decision to pay off the Germanic tribes in order to focus his attention on the growing Sassanid Empire.

## Trivia.

* Umayyad Caliphate marked the zenith of the Caliphate's territorial gains; however, their rapid conquests with territorial consolidations and disenfranchisements of non-Arabs--especially Persians, Berbers, and Central Asians--caused its downfall on top of its unpopularity due to Mu'awiya's usurpation against Ali.
* Despite their dhimmi policies, Ummayads--especially under Mu'awiya--had its bureaucracy dominated by Christians (though Dovah would draw them as virgins as many of them were of Monophysite denomination, which the show had negative stances on).

## "Trivia"

* One major omission was his official adoption by Sassanid Shah Yazdegerd I--who remained friendly with Eastern Roman Empire, treated him as a son that a tutor was sent to Constantinople, and known to be tolerant towards non-Zoroastrians--possibly due to the show's portrayal of Persians as literal demons.

## "Trivia"

* While the series implied that Plebeians were product of miscegenation between Trojans and barbarian locals with the Patricians being the pure-blooded one, most Roman legends tend to portray themselves as mingling between local Latin tribes and Trojans with the Patricians being founding families of Rome and later integrated elites of various client states.
* Much of Unbiased History's claims of Trojans as Roman ancestors were based on Virgil's Aeneid, which itself is commissioned to link Augustus to the legendary Trojan heroes.
	+ Even with such source; Unbiased History exaggerated to the point of making Phalanx (Greek origin), Aqueducts (Etruscans), and deities (mix of Latin deities with Greek religion) as contributions by Trojans.

**Rome V-The Punic Wars** is the fifth episode of the "Unbiased History of Rome". explains what exactly happened after the Roman conquest of the Italian peninsula and their fight against a regional power and ancestral enemy: Carthage in a series of devastating wars for both that would decide the fate of the world.

## "Trivia"

* Punics/Carthaginians were considered as one of the civilized groups and known for capable seafarers, which Unbiased History' sarcastic humor portrayed the Romans using their beached ships as to improve their inferior designs rather than reverse engineering or adapting them to suit their infantry based tactics like adopting Corvus to allow infantry to board ships in mass instead of ramming.
	+ Furthermore, Carthaginians were more sophisticated than Rome with their Mediterranean commercial hegemony that would cause competition with rising Roman Republic.
* The majority of the senate were still made up of patrician aristocrats, which the series' bias on extremely classist Roman views meant that everyone who were not Chads were termed as "plebeians".
* While Carthage was razed and its citizenry were killed or captured; the city itself was rebuilt, and ironically outlasted Rome, due to its importance as port city.
	+ Later on, a Punic-originated Severan Dynasty--at least their founder, Septimius Severus--would rule the Roman Empire and rumored to idolize Hannibal as hero.

* When the episode was released and for a few months, it could see a shadow or dark figure that made reference to the Happy Merchant (a Jewish stereotype) when Dovah spoke of the Carthaginians and some of their origins. this was censored sometime later and the figure is so distorted that it is unrecognizable.
* It was not mentioned that Cato fought in the war and that this is the reason for his hatred for Carthage.

## Trivia

* Historically, Shahvaraz was considered one of the effective Persian commanders during the conflict due to his successes in bringing Levant and eventually Egypt that nearly broke the Byzantine Empire along with nearly defeating Heraclius at one point.
* Due to the series' bias, it ignored the context of anti-Semitic pogroms and policies of Christian Byzantines that led the desperate Jewish Romans to side with Shahvaraz, who restored their previously suppressed rights along with allowing them to rule their former home city of Jerusalem.
* Like Bahram; Shahvaraz was also a Parthian member from House of Mihran, and similarly gained his power through usurpation along with his death by the issue of previous Shah.
* He is married to Khosrow II's sister, Mirhran, whose relationship would make him Khosrow II's brother-in-law.
	+ Among his children, Niketas would convert to Christianity and would have been a legitimate heir had it not for Shahvaraz's assassination.

* Unlike the Unbiased History; Shahvaraz was aided by Heraclius to seize the throne and even had his Christian son, Niketas, appointed as his heir as a token of alliance.
* Like Unbiased History, Shahvaraz's reign as emperor marked the beginning of the Sassanid Empire's decline as it fell into a civil war that allowed the Rashidun Caliphate to easily conquer them.
Sulla

**Sulla**, or Lucius Cornelius Sulla Felix, is a consul and a general who was known for crushing the Populares and the first Dictator For Life...for three years.

## "Trivia"

* Historically, Sulla was seen as authoritarian tyrant who destabilized Rome and his reforms intensified the class-divide and political tension, but he was pretty based because he destroyed the plebs.
	+ Much of Sulla's reforms, especially the Plebian Tribune's veto power, were abolished a decade after his death by consulship of both Pompey and Crassus--both of whom ironically are former member of the Optimates.
* Ironically, Sulla's successes against Populares was indirectly fueled by Marius' military reforms that allowed Legions to be more loyal to their general than the Republic.
	+ Furthermore, his attempt at maintaining the status quo via violent methods would be copied by Julius Caesar--one of the surviving Populares--who marked the decline of Roman Republic before its official end under Octavian.
Theodora the Blessed

## Trivia

* To differentiate with Theodora, the wife of Justian I, she would be given the moniker of "The Blessed" for differentiation.

Vandal kingdom

**Vandal Kingdom** was one of the Barbarian Kingdom established at the final days of Roman Empire, which its territories in Carthage and neighboring Italian islands were incorporated into their barbaric kingdom under Geiseric. In addition that they also ransacked its wealth from Rome--more so than sacking by Goths under Alaric decades earlier--along with the "kidnapping" of Eudocia and Licinia . They also utilized the local fleets to dominate the Mediterranean Sea and also repulsed the reconquest by Leo I at Cape Bon.

Their kingdom would be dissolved during the reconquest by Justinian, who would reincorporate them into Eastern Empire until the arrival of Arabs in 7th century. The lands would fall to the Umayyad Caliphate in 698

## "Trivia"

* Despite being part of the group that brought the end of Roman Empire, Vandal Kingdom remained one of the few post-Roman civilizations to preserve Latin culture along with its stable--if not, thriving--economy due to archeological evidences of Carthage's structures having signs of renovation and even built from scratch since the Vandal's conquest.
* In contrast to Goths in Spain and Saxons in Britain, who eventually converted to Latin Christianity from Arian Christianity and Paganism respectively, the Vandals remained staunch supporters of Arianism and persecuted the Latin Christians until the reign of Hilderic--the son of Geiseric's son Huneric and Roman princess Eudocia--who began to promote Latin Christianity until he was deposed by Gelimer that sparked off conflicts with Eastern Roman Empire in response to usurpation.
Valerian

Salonius (grandson)

Valerian was an emperor of rome from 253 a.c. to 260 a.c. before he was captured by Shapur at the Battle of Edessa and later murdered during his capitivity.

## "Trivia"

* Though the story of Valerian being flayed alive after his capture by Sassanid Persians has been common, his true fate has not been confirmed with two stories of his fate being speculated besides this tale.
	+ One of the stories had Shapur poured a molten gold down Valerian's throat, not different from the demise of Crassus by the Parthians.
	+ Another story had him being allowed to live in one of the Persian cities, either Bishapur or Gundeshapur, in relatively good conditions with Valerian and other Roman prisoners being used as architects and builders. After which, he was allowed to become a full Sassanian Citizen

* Christian writers' demonic portrayal of Sassanid Persians in Valerian's flaying account seems contradictory since Valerian ordered a persecution of Christians before the Battle of Edessa; however, Sassanid Persians--though mostly during Constantine's reign--have a history of Christian persecution themselves.
* As a play on how his name sounds like "Valyrian", Emperor Valerian is depicted with the silver hair and violet eyes, physical attributes associated with people of Valyrian heritage in Game of Thrones. as well as Rain of Castamere soundtrack used in Red Wedding from Game of Thrones.

* in Unbiased History: the fall of Rome, when Attila destroys the city of Naissus, he is seen holding a skull with one hand and this is different from the rest as he is the only one with hair. It can be speculated that Attila desecrated Valerian's tomb, built after Aurelian rescued his remains from the Sassanid Empire and took the skull to show him how he destroyed the city, in a show of power and sadism.
* A possible plot hole in the series is present in the Diocletian episode. in it Diocletian beats the Persians with his Skeleton, However Aurelian had already returned his body by then, However it can be excused assuming that Diocletian Brought the skeleton with him.

### Gender

Male

Valentinian got declared Augustus by his mother despite his negative IQ and neural capacity being lower than that of fucking empty space. Btw not to mention he was 6 when he became emperor which explains a whole lot.

## In "Unbiased History"

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

Valentinian, alongside his sister Honoria, are held in the arms of Constantius III, being concerned about his chin size. He is presumed to have escaped with his mother after Honorius lusted after her.

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

Galla pleaded Theodosius II to depose Joannes from his throne so that Valentinian would be installed as her puppet, with the help of Bonifacius, though only because he hated Castinus. After he was finally crowned, he would marry his niece Licinia and have two children with her.

Valentinian is not seen again until he backstabs Aetius. The reason being that he was a prolific gambler and, more relevantly, rapist of wives, including that of Petronius. Convinced by Petronius, he mortally wounded Aetius and forced Aetius' legions to watch him die. Afterwards, he would be contacted by a priest, guided by Leo, telling him that he "had cut off [his] right hand with [his] left. After denying Petronius the role of magister militum, he would be ambushed by two Aetian Scythians, guided by Petronius, and would be slaughtered by them.

* Valentinian III also expelled all Jews in the Roman Army due to his unfounded fear of their corruption on Christian soldiers.
* Despite his Christian upbringings, Valentinian III also dabbled in divination that was frowned upon by the contemporaries of his religion.
* While Valentinian III had plan to marry his daughter to Geiseric's son, he also planned to betroth her to Majorian to oppose Aetius who revoked his deal in response.
Servius Tullius

**Servius Tullius** was the sixth king of Rome, and the second of its Etruscan dynasty. He reigned from 578 to 535 BC. Roman and Greek sources describe his servile origins and later marriage to a daughter of Lucius Tarquinius Priscus, Rome's first Etruscan king, who was assassinated in 579 BC. The constitutional basis for his accession is unclear; he is variously described as the first Roman king to accede without election by the Senate, having gained the throne by popular and royal support; and as the first to be elected by the Senate alone, with support of the reigning queen but without recourse to a popular vote. He is the only barbarian to really be a hero as he was civilized and defended against the actual barbarians as well as built the Servian Walls protecting Rome for over 1,000 years.

It was established by Ardashir I in 224 AD after defeating the Parthian Kings who were in a civil war, it met its end after the last Roman war, in 628 AD with a plague and a civil war and The Khazars and Turkic people invading, which allowed the Islamic Rashidun Caliphate to attack the weakened empire and by 651 AD, Conquer it, only the Dabuyids resisted the invasions for a pair of centuries.

## "Trivia"

* Besides Unbiased History's satirical bias towards Romans, the portrayal of Sassanids as demons also have to do with their status as major threat to Roman Empire compared to their Parthian predecessors.
	+ During Sassanid era, the Persians began to take a more aggressive approach towards Romans with focus on military and cities.
	+ Sassanid Persians also increasingly promote Zoroastrianism yet took a different turn from Achaemenids and Parthians by clamping down on minority sects and Christianity, mostly in cases of Armenian's proclamation of Christianity as official religion and Constantine's declaration on protections of all Christians.

* Oddly enough, the show omitted Sassanid's use of Cataphracts, a heavily armored cavalry that would ironically adopted by Romans in Byzantine era, which also emphasized by their use of Skyrim's giant clubs like Germans.
* Despite the Sassanids being portrayed as obsessed with spreading chaos and worshipping Satan in the series, two of the major tenets of the Sassanid's Zoroastrian religion are order and a strict good versus evil morality.
* In the Final War, due to the show's bias towards Romans, Zoroastrians were worshipping Satan/Angra Mainyu (in contrast to vilification of such notion historically) and fire for its destructiveness (in contrast to its symbol as Ahura Mazda and light/good).
* Despite their conquest by Muslims, their language and culture would be adopted by their converted descendent and even romanticized with Ferdowsi's works like Shahnameh being a major example.
* Had the show continued into the Arab-Byzantine wars, Persians--especially Khurramites under Theophobos--would have been shown as Chads with sassanid features as they were integrated into Byzantine Military under Theophilos.
