Basil I the Macedonian

**Basil I the Macedonian** reigned from 867 to 886 and founded the Macedonian Dynasty after assassinating Michael III. Despite his usurpation, his political savviness and cunning allow him to become one of the capable Emperors and laid the foundation for Macedonian Renaissance. While he initially made his eldest son Constantine as his heir, Leo VI the Wise became the next-in-line despite mutual disdain between them. After his death from hunting accident, which he was dragged to death by a deer after its antler caught his belt, Leo VI would assume the throne.

## Trivia

* If Unbiased History continued, he would most likely be a Chad.
* Basil I's exact origin is ambiguous as he claimed to be Armenian but his family tree is forgery to claim his supposed royal bloodline from Arsacid family. Despite all this, it may be possible that he would have been Armenians due to the tendency for Byzantines to relocate various ethnic group.
* Supposedly, Basil I remained illiterate during his reign but made up for it with his cunning intellect and shrewd administration.

- Arcadius showing his incapacite to speak.

Arcadius was the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, son of Theodosius I, and the elder brother of Honorius. Like his father and brother, Arcadius was an incompetent ruler who barely knew how to speak and mostly ruled by his courtiers.

## History

While Theodoisius I granted guardianship of him and Honorius to Stilicho, Rufinius quickly took over his guardianship due to long distance preventing the decree from being enforced. Thanks to this setup, the Roman Empire was effectively split in two with the Goths' control of Illyria.

Arcadius would die after forgetting how to breathe at one moment with his son Theodosius II in charge of the emperor under the guardianship of his elder daughter Pulcheria.

## "Trivia"

* Arcadius did not how to talk properly and often forgot how to breathe. Moreover, Arcadius was considered one of the weakest Roman Emperors due to his reign at a young age and easily swayed nature.
	+ Furthermore, his prone to illness hamper his ruling capability and later resulted in his early death.
* Arcadius and Yazdegard I, the Sassanid monarch, maintained a strong friendship that he entrusted the guardianship his son to Yazdegerd I who sent a tutor to Constantinople as a gesture of good faith and threatened a war upon his adopted son's usurpation.
* While Arcadius' reign was mostly him being influenced by courtiers, the presence of more capable administrators--one of them being a praetorian prefect named Flavius Anthemius--and possession of wealthy provinces allowed the Eastern Empire to survive longer than the Western Empire.
* While being a weak ruler, he tried to mend his relationship with Stilicho in contrast to his brother Honorius.
* He is one of the first Emperors to wear a unique robe in his region of the empire (the Eastern side). this in strict contrast to his predecessors, brother and father and putting on the standard dress of future Eastern / Byzantine emperors.
Jews (Unbiassed History of Rome)

The Jews are a semitic people from Judea, located in Levant region of Middle East. In Unbiased History, their appearance is based on Orthodox Jew (large nose for all genders with Full beard for male) facial features on Yes Chad/Ideal GF templates. The only exception is Josephus, who was drawn with a fat body with a large nose as a reference to his loyalty to Betrayl

Unlike many cultures known to Roman Empire, Judaism are monotheists due to their worship to a single deity; as a result, it brought conflicts with henotheistic Roman Empire who also regularly confiscate their hoarded wealth from their temples' treasuries. Nevertheless, there are Jews loyal to Roman Empire, such as Josephus who was contemporary with Flavian Emperors (Vespasian, Titus, and Domitian). Furthermore, they are one of the rare civilizations to be civilized and literate without aid from the Roman Empire. Despite launching multiple revolts that ended with their defeats, they managed to maintain a strong foothold in Judea until Bar Kokhba rebellion that ended with the destruction of Second Temple and mass expulsion by Emperor Hadrian. Their last and unsuccessful revolt against the Romans occurred in 4th century CE as a response to Constantius II's discriminatory policies, which was relaxed by Julian along with payment for second temple (though as a means of jab at the Christians, whom Julian try to clamp their influences on Roman society).

## "Trivia"

* Any weapons of Jewish characters were Elven sword from Skyrim in contrast to Giant's Club of Barbarians, and Imperial Sword of Romans.
* Out of all non-Romans, Unbiased History's portrayal of Jews remained neutral--showing them as few civilized non-Roman civilizations--despite the art style being based on anti-Semitic Happy Merchant, though mostly used as a template for scheming persons, and the show's heavy bias towards Romans.
* In the Byzantine mini-series, there was no mention of the Samaritan revolt against Justinian The Great.
* When Hadrian found out about their operations they had to shut it down

Known for horrendous inbreeding, they were a inbred family created by the cowards of the Catholic Church. This brought them many deformities from a long chin to a super deformed face.

## Known Members

* Charles II of Spain

* Leopold I

## "Trivia"

* The family being cloned in a lab is possibly a reference to SCP 3288 (The Aristocrats), an mutated anomaly that is deformed because of Leopold I who was an amateur Sarkicist (Flesh worshippers who worshipped Yaldabaoth, a deity of flesh) who used genetic engineering to make sure the Habsburgs would always have "pure blood" despite their inbreeding. It must've worked well... Way too well.
* Their inbreeding would lead to the Spanish branch extinct with Charles II, who was sterile and frail to rule (also didn't help with his father contracting syphilis) that led to War of the Austrian Succession in 1740.
	+ The Hapsburg would live on with the bloodline of Maria Theresa of Austria, who decided marrying off to other royal families to both prevent the fate of Spanish bloodline and maintain control of European politics, until the end of Austro-Hungarian Empire after WW1.

## In "Unbiased History"

### ***"The Roman "Mythology""***

When Aeneas and the surviving Trojans landed on her kingdom in their quest of the Italian lands, she forced Aeneas to satisfy her needs on bed for a whole year if the trojans wanted the necessary supplies to continue the journey. Aeneas accepted for the greater good and when the year had passed, Dido was already in love with him wanting him to remain with her, but Aeneas rejected her and leaved her kingdom with the remnants of the Trojans moving towards Italy, in her rage, she burned every single leftover of her old "lover" in a fire and jumped into it, dying in the process

Before her death, she used her eastern black magic to reincarnate herself many times in the future, promising that her and Aeneas' descendants would be eternal rivals in the following wars that would kill millions, with the curse ending after Zenobia, her last incarnation, was executed by the **RESTITUTOR ORBIS** Aurelian during the Crisis of the Third Century.

## Trivia

* Dido herself appeared in sources centuries before the Aeneid, especially in Greeks and Roman writings that inspired Virgil's version.
	+ As a result, if the Trojan War had been real, she and Aeneid would not have been together as Carthage along with her stories had been dated a century after the destruction of Troy.
Romulus Augustulus

**Romulus Augustulus** was the son of the treacherous Orestes and the last emperor of the western empire (and the last Roman emperor according to popular belief even if it is not true).

## in Unbiased History

The Fall of Rome

being just a child when the empire was falling apart, his father usurped power but instead of declaring himself emperor, he decided to impose him as a puppet emperor and rule from the shadows and naming him Romulus Augustulus ... very cruel joke on the part of the traitor to civilization.

After the barbaric Foederati soldiers demanded that Orestes give them land for their services and he refused, they allied with Odoacer and killed him.
After killing him and proclaiming Odoacer as the barbarian king of Italy, they marched to Ravenna to obtain total control of the peninsula ... but upon entering they did not see the emperor of Rome, nor 2 consuls of the republic ready to stop him. ... even a Roman king with an emerging kingdom ... what they saw was Romulus Augustulus: a frightened child trembling for his life and unable to defend himself or his subjects.
After the Gothic leader mocked how low the most powerful ruler of the civilized world has fallen, he deposed him and sent the imperial royal royalty from the west to Constantinople arguing that it would not be necessary to crown a new emperor in the region.
the final fate of the last Western "emperor" is unknown.

## "Trivia"

* He is (probably) the only virgin in the series that Dovah did not portray as evil, or envious.
* In real life, Odoacer spared his life and gave him land so that he and the rest of his family could live in peace in exile.
* His name is ironic because it uses the names of both Romulus and Augustus (the first king and first emperor of Rome respectively) and he was the last Roman emperor of the western empire.
* There is no date for his death since many of the events after 476 A.D. were lost or undocumented, but he is believed to have died between 520 A.D. and 530 A.D.
* Despite being recognized by the Roman Senate (with the influence of his father in the shadows), the Eastern Emperor Zeno did not recognize him as the legitimate leader of the West.
* Perhaps the reason why he does not appear much in Unbiased History is because there is almost nothing of his reign that has been documented or survived to the modern age. the latter may explain why he is not shown as someone evil despite being a virgin in the series.
* His deposition marked the end of the Roman Empire and the beginning of the Dark Ages and the Middle Ages.
Heraklonas

* Visigoth
* Redeemed

**Theodoric**, or Theodoric I, is the king of Visigoths who are now in Gaul. Despite being a barbarian, he was one of the few to be civilized in Roman ways and contributed in Battle of Catalaunian Plains where he would perish.

## In "Unbiased History"

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

Decades after Alaric and later Ataulf, Theodoric was now the leader of the Visigoths in Hispania and now encroaching on the weakened province of Gaul. While he gain some successes, he was unable to thwart the actions of a Magister Militum of Aetius. All of it changed with the all-out invasion of Huns into the region.

Despite the reluctance due to his barbaric nature and hatred of Romans, he accepted alliance with Aetius through the aid of Avitus. Theodoric along with various Germanic tribes (Franks, Saxons, Burgurdians, and Visigoths) were trained for the upcoming battle, but kicked out due to his disobedient nature. Suddenly, Theodoric became convinced of Roman culture to the point of eventually adopting it and even discarding his metal mask.

Now without his mask and his yellow eyes, Theodoric would show promise as a civilized German that he was able to utilize Roman tactics like shield wall. While he and his barbarian contingent fought bravely, Attila focused his attack on them and later Theodoric would fall to a spear from one of Attila's Ostrogothic soldiers--one of the Germanic tribes being controlled by Attila's dark powers. The battle was only ended by his son, Thorismund, who was in rear and flanked the Hunnic army that led the army to withdraw. Tragically, his Visigoth tribe reverted back to their barbaric ways.

## "Trivia"

* Historians gave Visigothic Theodoric along with his youngest son with roman numerals to differentiate from both the Amal dynasty counterpart and the Byzantine-era general.
* Theodoric I's death had two accounts, which the show used the account of his demise by an Ostrogothic warrior while the other account claimed his death from being trampled by his horse after being thrown off of it in battle.
* Theodoric also had a daughter, who was mutilated by Huneric--Geiseric's son--with an excuse of her conspiracy against him but actually wish to replace her with Eudocia.
* Shield Wall was already common among Germanic tribes, even before their migration into Western Roman Empire.
* Due to his participation of Catalaunian Plains, which was seen as a major blow to Attila the Hun's empire, he was revered among chroniclers--both contemporary and later times--and may have been an inspiration for Theoden in JRR Tolkien's Lord of the Rings.
Cato The Elder

***"CARTHAGO DELENDA EST!"***

The best known phrase of Cato the Elder.

Cato the Elder was a Roman senator from the post-Punic Wars era and a man with a deep **Hatred** for Carthage

## in Unbiased History

### The Punic Wars

Even without being born yet, Cato has an enormous hatred for Carthage and this increased by having lived through the great injustices of Hannibal's campaigns in Italy that would accompany him all his life.

After the wars with Carthage and the defeat of Hannibal in the Battle of Zama, he would become a member of the Roman Senate where he would be even in his old age, during his last years and 60 years after the end of the wars he always ended his speeches with the iconic phrase : Carthago delenda est (Carthage must be destroyed).

Despite having several senators on his side in that idea, he would not live long enough to see how the arrogance of his hated enemies caused the destruction of the city and his subsequent rain of salt by his compatriots.

### The Crisis of the Third Century

* He was a renowned and famous author who wrote several important books throughout his life, unfortunately only one of them (De Agri Cultura) fully survived the modern era.
* Unlike many characters, Cato the Elder stood out as his face was basically copied from Cato's bust rather than being drawn as Chad.
	+ Unfortunately, the bust used for him was proven to be false.
* Oddly enough, neither Unbiased History nor Dovahhatty included his dislike for Hellenization (the expansion of language, customs, deities or culture of the Greeks by conquest or by being in their sphere of influence).
Martinian

## "Trivia"

* Aside from Marcian, Martinian was one of the characters to be drawn as an alien as a pun on his name being similar to Martian.
* As similar to history, not much is known about Martinian along with his final fate besides being banished after Licinius was dethroned.
Romanization

Romanization is the process where barbarians become exposed to Roman culture and influence, Therefore, they gradually become civilised. despite the HUGE power of civilization on the Barbarian's minds, there are beings so Evil and chaotic that not only rejected its effects, but are also nearly completely immune to them (the Germs and Shapur as an example.)

All this, of course, preceeds the Roman appropriation of Egyptian ruling class that was bestowed on the Europoid savages of Etruria (later became Italy). After the Albinos of that region got civilized by the Black empire, they went on to produce mulatto offspring that would in turn go to civilize the albinos in gaul (g\*rms).

Probus

Probus ***(Marcus Aurelius Probus)*** was one of the last emperors of the crisis of the third century. A skilled military commander, he repelled all Barbarian invasions of the empire and continued the recovery phase of the crisis (the period that followed Aurelian) and maintained productivity and discipline in the legions and the Pr\*etorians. And for the unspeakable crime of forcing them to not do whatever they wanted without consequences, they assassinated him.

## **In "Unbiased history":**

### The Crisis of the Third Century

Probus first appears as one of several prominent Illriyan generals who rose to prominence during the reign of Claudius ll Gothicus, including Diocles (Diocletian), Constantius l Chlorus, and Aurelian himself.

Later on he would be appointed as the governor of the east by emperor Tacitus and after the later's death he was acclaimed emperor by the legions, for being one of Aurelian's veterans and a great commander, he faced the usurper Florianus and easily crushed him.

### Diocletian's Tetrarchy

As emperor, Probus would defeat barbarian horde after barbarian horde all over the empire. Sparring the world of hundreds of thousands of barbaric g\*rms who have invaded Gaul and other parts of the empire and crushing any revolts in the process. He also forced his legions to work in farms and constructions whenever there were no barbarians to kill, maintaining discipline and productivity, infuriating both his pleb legions and the Praetorians. Probus expressed joy in having spared Rome of so many enemies and while planning his new campaign against Persia, which Aurelian had once wanted, the Pr\*etorians, as usual, assassinated him, furious at the mere fact they were working for the good of everyone and not doing whatever they wanted without consequences.

Founded as a very humble town surrounded by many barbarian settlements, thanks to the cunning of its inhabitants it was remodeled to become the capital of the world, with the sole purpose of keeping the light of civilization alive.

### Rome I - The Roman ""Mythology""

when the brothers Romulus and Remus rescued their grandfather from captivity, he decided that they were the rightful heirs of Alba Longa (the second civilized city). surprinsingly they refuse and explainded that instead of been the new kings, Romulus and his brother would found a city of their own with their followers.

Using their superhuman instincts they went to where their mommy wolf found them and took care of them (near the Tiber river) and a rift was form between the brothers. they were at conflic about in what mount they should built the city and after a series of draws; they ended up in the construction of a wall to divided half of the city for themselfs.

while Remus was in the upper part of the wall and Romulus in the lower part, a misterious figure sneaks away and throws Remus to the ground, managing to kill him (or so he thought).
Romulus ordered the assasin to reveal himself and this turned out to be a barbarian infiltrator, who escaped some time later but that did not matter to Romulus who stayed with his brother (who was actually mortally wounded); in his last moments of life, he decided that the city should be called Roma, he apologized to his brother for any trouble and died from his wounds.

This deeply marked Romulus, who decided that this was the beginning of the war between the civilized and the barbarous.

## "Trivia"

* In contrast to original mythology, the rivalry and the death of Remus was portrayed as "lies" due to the series' heavy bias towards Romans.
* As Romulus and Remus may have been legends, which even the Aeneas was more of a propaganda epic commissioned by Augustus, there were many historical theories behind Rome's founding even during the Roman Empire.
	+ According to Strabo and Antipater, the city may have been founded by Greek settlers with the former specifying their origins from Arcadia in Peloponnese region.
	+ Another more recent studies have found remains of pastoral communities in the area that would become Rome, which may hint at its origin from its evolution from shepherding villages.
Caracalla

**DISDAIN FOR PLEBS**

Bassianus AKA Caracalla was the son of Septimius Severus and the older brother of Geta, he became co-emperor with him in 211 AD untill Geta was murdered in front of him, causing to grow a hatred towards the plebs, which lead to him slaughtering Alexandria's citizens for daring to say he murdered his brother, and later went to marry the Parthian Princess to unite both dinasties...................................................................................................................Nah he killed everyone and sacked and pillaged every city on Parthia that was on his way back to Syria becoming ***ALEMANNICUS GERMANICUS PARTHICUS MAXIMUS,*** as he had already crushed an Alemanni invasion in the Rhine, he was murdered by, you guessed it, a butthurt preatorian guard, orchestrated by the old ass leech Macrinus.

## "Trivia"

* In reality, Caracalla, unlike in Unbiased History, was a terrible in maintaining his family. and despite his competence is governance, focused very little on government
	+ The biggest error about him in the series was he is portrayed as caring brother to Geta and tried to love him but always rejected by the latter. IRL, he was same cautious as him (even worse, paranoid) in towards relationship between each others. **Caracalla** later framed a meeting between the two and their mother, Julia Domna, and got him murdered as he was separated from his bodyguards. Nearly all Roman historians agreed upon the fact of murder of Geta was masterminded by Caracalla.
	+ It is also said that he was also tried to murder his father, Septimius Severus in a chariot ride during Campaign of Caledonia.
	+ Despite he has pretty decent achievement in his government (such as giving citizenship to free Roman and building many infrastructures). He was morally ill and a cruel tyrant, he was known to have murdered many Roman people because of them supporting Geta, and ordered the Massacre of Alexandria because he was insulted by a theatre play about him in said city.
	+ He was completely obsessed with Alexander the Great and the reason behind the persecution of the Greek philosophers was because of a legend that said that the reason for the death of the Macedonian ruler was poisoning by Aristotle.
	+ Unlike what was shown in Unbiased History, Caracalla did not remove the images of Geta for being ugly, but for dislike of his brother and saying his name or mentioning him became a crime after he applied a Damnatio Memoriae on him.

* In reality, Caracalla was a nickname, his birth name was Septimius Bassianus but it was changed by his father some time after he became emperor to Marcus Aurelius Antoninus, this to create a fictitious relationship with the famous dynasty of the Antonine emperors.
* He may have caused the rise of the Sassanids, as the Parthian wedding massacre caused a vaccuum of power in Parthia, which lead to a civil war between king Vologases IV and his brother Artabanus V, and also caused Ardashir The ruler of Persis to revolt which allowed to him to take control establishing the Sassanid Empire
Cleopatra VII

**Cleopatra VII** was the last independent pharaoh of Egypt and the first known reincarnation of Dido. After swearing vengeance against Aeneas' descendants only to end up failing, she decided to go straight to his dark wish and reincarnate to exact revenge with his bare hands, only to fall in love with the direct descendant of Aeneas and have a child with him, after the infamous assassination of Julius Caesar orchestrated by the Senate, using her black magic, she managed to manipulate Caesar's best friend, Mark Antony, to fulfill his demands and destroy civilization. When she was about to obtain her wish, she was defeated by Cesar's great-nephew / adopted son, Octavian, and she was forced to commited suicide, cursing Rome before doing so.

## Trivia

* Despite Dovahhatty's exaggerated portrayal of Cleopatra, the theme of her being Dido's reincarnation--along with Queen Zenobia as she tend to emulate Cleopatra--was based on Virgil's metaphor of conflict between Cleopatra (Dido) and Aeneas (Octavian) along with foreshadowing of Punic War.
* All the Severan Emperors except for Septimius Severus were descendants of Cleopatra through Julia Domna and Julia Maesa.
* Cleopatra herself was of Greek descent as Alexander the Great conquered Egypt and Ptolemy, one of his generals successors, adopted Egyptian royal customs even up to marrying siblings.
* Cleopatra VII herself was a competent ruler, who also spoke Coptic along with Latin and Greek in contrast the Hellenistic ruling elites along with rebuilding the damages from neglect of previous predecessors.
Livia

Livia Drusilla was the first Empress of Rome and the wife of Augustus. While outwardly pretending to be a virtuous Roman wife and mother, in reality, Livia was a murderous Roman viper who one-by-one eliminated all of Augustus' successors aside from her older son Tiberius either by assassinating them (like Drusus, Marcellus, Agrippa, Gaius, and Lucius) or corrupting them (like Julia the Younger and Agrippa Postumus). In her desire to see Tiberius become Emperor, she would even poison Augustus as part of her plot to see Tiberius as Emperor. Even after Augustus' death, she would be the man behind the assassination of Germanicus and would teach a young Agrippina the Younger how a Roman viper should get ahead in life.

## Trivia

* Much of Unbiased's Livia is based on Siân Phillips' character in I Claudius, which portrayed her as a manipulative woman plotting against her relatives for power.
* In reality, much of her responsibilities in death of Julio-Claudian family were mostly rumors but persisted thanks to biased accounts by Tacitus and Cassius Dio.

As the battle progresses with Theodoric I falling in battle, Thorismund launched a devastating charge that led to the Huns and their subordinate Tribes fleeing. Instead of taking orders from Aetius to chase Attila, Thorismund disobeyed and reverted back to their barbaric habits. His younger brother, Theodoric II would take his place by the time Avitus came to power.

## "Trivia"

* His usurpation by his younger brother Theodoric II was omitted from the series.

Julius Caesar

**Julius Caesar** was an important Roman figure in the last decades of the Republic, who defied all odds to save Rome of the useless, parasitic senate, becoming the most based Roman to ever live.

He is one of history’s most famous characters, having some of the most important army reforms, political reforms and set up the Pre-Modern Calendar until Pope Gregory changed it in 1582. He is best known for his military and political success, plus the relationship with Cleopatra and his infamous death.

## "Trivia"

* Historically, Caesar admired Alexander the Great but treated as Greekoid exaggeration due to series' satirical bias towards Romans.
* He also related to Gaius Marius, which his familial association was one of the main reason for his near execution by Sulla.
* Caesar was a massive Chad, absolutely smashing and conquering the Gauls in the Gallic Wars from 58-50 BC.
* Caesar also "smashed and conquered" Cleopatra, but not in war. Mark Anthony later came in for his bro's sloppy seconds after Caesar died, a son came out of it but Octavian "handled" that little problem.
Rudolf II

**Rudolf II** (18th of July, 1552-20th of January, 1612) was the "Holy" "Roman" ""Emperor"" during the buildup to the 30 Years War. he was a weak ruler who caved into the superior Hussites' demands. Like all of the Habsburgs from the late 16th century to the late 17th century, he had a deformed facial appearance and a large jaw due to inbreeding among the family members.

## In "Unbiased History"

### **"The Defenestrations of Prague"**

Rudolf II was shown to be easily accepting of Hussites during the Second Defenestration of Prague in 1618, much to the dismay of Habsburg family--an inbred line of staunch loyalists created by the Church to oppose any rivals to their power in Europe. He was soon replaced with Matthias, who was also weak and bowed to Hussites, before he too was replaced, in his case Ferdinand.

## "Trivia"

* While the Czech church had already adopted many of the Hussites' demands, the major problem of Bohemia's religious disputes during Rudolf's reign mostly had to do with Protestantism as a whole rather than Hussites specifically.
* Ironically, at least based on art, Rudolf II had the least deformities of all Hapsburg along with having a prominent beard, possibly attributed to being the result of the early stages of inbreeding, which produced less horrific results than at the times of Charles II of Spain.

## In Unbiased History

Corbulo was the commander of the Roman army tasked with repelling Parthian invasion of Armenia, which he successfully crushed due to Parthia's status with multiple rebellions.
