Martina

Martina was Byzantine empress, wife and niece of Emperor Heraclius.

## ”Trivia”

* Historically, Martina only followed Heraclius to escape from outraged citizens of Constantinople rather than love for Heraclius.
* Also she would have been portrayed as Livia as she is responsible for making Heraklonus as a puppet while murdering Constantine III’s supporters after Constantine III’s death.
* While most of the children she had with Heraclius had frail health, in reality, Theodosios--the deaf-mute child--survived to adult and presumably married to either Shavaraz' daughter or Heraclius' cousin.
* Martina and her son--Heraklonus--were eventually deposed and mutilated by General Valentinus in 641; as a result, she would have her tongue ripped out and her son's nose cut off to prevent their reclamation to the throne.

Then the suspicions were that Dr. No was not a truck driver, also in the moments of his crimes all his victims were spoiled, he also took off his clothes but he did not have rape, which implies that Dr. No could be a sexual sadist. After that, while Dr. No continued to kill between the 1981s and 2004s, all investigations were done to try to identify and arrest him. However, the detectives at the time were unable and arrest him.

Gauls

* Uncivilized
* Civilized

The Gaul's are a barbarian race and an enemy of Rome and civilization. However, since they are not demonic like the Germs, they are able to be Romanized. The origins of the Gauls can date back to early Rome, when Jupiter sought to punish the Plebs for their immense greed and neglect of religious duties. After the Gauls were unleashed upon the world, they ravaged and plundered through Western and Central Europe, destroying any city and replacing it with barbarian mudhuts. Finally, in 58 BC, Caesar would begin his campaign of civilizing Gaul, finally, Caesar defeated the remaining Gauls at Alesia. And finally, the Gauls were civilized.

Before civilization, Gauls spoke in a barbarian language where they could only communicate through "oogas" and "boogas". Gauls usually worshipped rocks and lived in mudhuts. Gauls did not know how to use swords, so their primary method of attack is to throw rocks at people until they die. They also were know to eat peoples brains because they thought it would make them more smart. Though they were known to utilize chariots, which they were still unable to break the Roman Legion formation.

## "Trivia"

* While Gauls lack centralized government like Rome, they have many technological and military achievements comparable--in some cases, superior--to them but omitted due to Unbiased History's satirically bias towards Romans.
	+ Gauls, aside from their naked warrior, adopted chainmail that influenced Roman's Lorica Hemata.
	+ Their Iberian counterpart were known to be urbanized and their mercenaries making up the bulk of Hannibal's army, which they also introduced Spatha sword that would be adopted by Romans for cavalry and eventually infantry.
Bulgars

**Bulgars** are barbarian group during the Byzantine period.

## Trivia

* Bulgars are represented as three-eyed Grugs with Fez and Turkish vest.
* While Bulgars started out as pagans, they would adopt Orthodox Christianity due to efforts from Byzantine Empire.
	+ In these cases, Simeon the Great would have been transformed into Chad ala Hannibal the Great....or a Grug larping as Roman. While Kaloyan likely more demonic look due to being the Roman Slayer.
* Futhermore due to the Slavs being the most of the peasant population and military troops, it is unknown how Dovah would have potrayed the Bulgarians after the reign of Boris I (father of Simeon the Great, who was basically Constantine I of them).
* While Basil II was notorious for his cruelty to Bulgars, especially the blinding of warriors after Battle of Kleidon Pass, many Bulgar aristocrats were integrated into Byzantine aristocracy and granted autonomy for their clerics.
Julia Drusilla

Julia Drusilla was the second daughter of Germanicus and younger sister of Caligula. During the reign of Tiberius, she would be married off to Lucius Cassius Longinus and later would marry Marcus Aemilius Lepidus. During the reign of Caligula, she would be the favorite of her older brother with the gods giving her the same "divination process" as her older brother. However, she would not survive the process, with her dying after the shock of seeing Aurelian be murdered by the Praetorians after saving the Roman Empire from near-collapse being too much for her as she cried out "Aurelian no" before her death.
Antoninus Pius

* Augustus
* Elderly

Marcus Aurelius (Son in law/Adopted son)

Lucius Verus (Adopted son)

Commodus (Grandson)

*“Aaand, he did absolutely nothing... for 23 years... BASED.”~ Dovahhatty on Antoninus Pius’ rule.*

Antonius Pius was roman emperor who precided under the peak of Pax Romana. He is widely regarded as one of the most peaceful rulers in history, only extending the borders of Britannia into Caledonia and building the Antonine Wall. The g\*rms feared him and the Parthians tried to attack but feared Antoninus too.

## In “Unbiased History”

### **“Rome XII - The Five Good Emperors”**

Antoninus ordered the deification (promoting someone to godly status) of Hadrian, getting the title Pi(o)us, meaning ‘the dutiful’. His generals moved up into Caledonia (Porto-Scotland), built the Antonine Wall while they were there, sending the first Romans to China and all that happened while he stayed in Italy...

## "Trivia"

* What was left out of Unbiased History was his defense of Marcus Aurelius when he mourned for his late teacher by stating him to be human for once.
* Antoninus' cognomen of Pius can also be attributed to either sparing the senators about to be executed or his support of his ailing father to the senate floor.
Amalasuintha

Amalasuintha is the daughter of Theodoric The Great who ruled the Ostrogothic Kingdom as a regess to her son until her usurpation by Theodahad. She also had a daughter name Matasuintha, who also become romanized.

## "Trivia"

* Amalasuintha was known for being scholarly as she was fluent in Greek and Latin along with being versed on philosophies that she was noted to bear the wisdom of biblical Solomon.
* In reality, Amalasuintha remained an Arian Christian like all Gothic nobility, though she remained tolerant towards Nicene Christians.
* She had a bust for her own, which was very rare at that time.
Ravenna

Ravenna is a major city in Italia that was one of the biggest ports of the Western Empire. It was conquered by the Romans in 191 B.C. and was the capital for a brief while when Honorius moved to Ravenna. This move was to create a dependable capital of the west, due to the marshes and swamps surrounding the city. It continued to be the capital of many nations that had control of Italia, such as the Ostrogothic Kingdom and the Byzantine exarchate of italy all the way until the 800’s.
Majorian

> ***"[Majorian] presents the welcome discovery of a great and heroic character, such as sometimes arise, in a degenerate age, to vindicate the honour of the human species."*** *~Edward Gibbon*
>
>

Julius Valerius Maiorianus (420-461) was an anomaly: a puppet who was free of his strings, making him one of, if not, the last great emperor of the Western Roman Empire, until he was betrayed by his "puppeteer".

## In "Unbiased History"

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

Majorian is first seen as a baby in the arms of his mother, as Aetius approaches, seeing his potential as a soldier.

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

Aetius recruited Majorian alongside Marcellinus, Aegidius, and Ricimer, into his army as Aetius was the Western Empire's magister militum. Majorian ended up helping Aetius to repel the Franks from Gaul, defeating their king and taking future dynasty founder Merovech as a prisoner. Majorian was sought by Aetius to help defend against the Hunnic invasion, but his wife convinced Aetius to leave Majorian out of fighting for now, even laying back on the archway to the training grounds.

Majorian would be put on the throne by Ricimer after the Vandals brutally sacked Rome and the remaining Romans overthrew Avitus, intended as a puppet emperor. His first decree would be to make Avitus a bishop, just before Ricimer murdered him. Making his legions honor Aetius by keeping the empire alive, he let Ricimer govern Italy during his campaigns, which saw him protect Italy on all side from barbaric invaders, ironically enough including usage of Foederati. Cracking down on degeneracy, he enforced laws that punished adultery, promoted childbirth, and allowed the citizens to arm themselves.

After taking some of Hispania back from the Suevi, he spent a lot of imperial gold to invade the Vandal Kingdom, planning to retake it from Geiseric. However, after Marcellinus retook Sicily, some of his legions, manipulated by the Vandals, sabotaged his fleet, rendering the campaign impossible to do. As he dispersed his legions to all corners of the west, his victories made Ricimer scared, so a trap was set.

As he was preparing to pass some more reforms, some of the traitorous leeches assured him that there was no trap, where in fact, he was about to be trapped in one. As he entered his room, he saw barbarians standing the bodies of a guard and his wife, with Ricimer stabbing him in the back afterwards. He would be tortured for a few days before he was put out of his misery. Alongside his other comrades, most of whom was also massacred, and Leo, who suffered the same fate, he was amongst the last of the Romans.

## Trivia

* Majorian was beheaded rather than left to die in a dungeon.
* Majorian was one of the few late romans not to be part of the Flavii genu.
* Majorian's father had served under Aetius, even participating in Battle of Catalaunian Plains.
* Historically, Majorian was denied marriage to one of Valentinian III's daughters due to Aetius' fear of losing his influence rather than machinations by Aetius' Germanic wife.
Rashidun Caliphate

Rashidun Caliphate at its territorial peak in 655 AD

The **Rashidun Caliphate** was the first mayor Muslim state to exist, it only appeared in the Byzantine History SPEEDRUN. It was one of the biggest threats the Eastern Roman Empire faced, as it conquered the Levant, Egypt and portions of Libya, alongside Persia and small chunks of West India (Modern day Pakistan), it was created in 632 AD after the death of Prophet Muhammad which lead to a debate on his sucessor with Abu Bakr (632-634) being proclaimed its first Caliph, with him the entire Arabian Peninsula was conquered, after that the following two caliphs Umar (634-644) and Uthman (644-656) will begin the Early Muslim Expansion, the conquest of the aforementioned territories of Persia, Levant, Egypt and big portions of Lybia also the Transcaucasus, it ended after the assasination of Caliph Uthman and ascension of Ali as caliph, which lead to the First Fitna between Ali, Mu'awiya (supported by the clan Uthman was from *Banu Umayya*) and the Khajirites, it ended with the dead of Ali and Mu'awiya taking control in 661 AD and replacing The Rashidun Caliphate with the Umayyad Caliphate.

## Trivia

* One of the reasons why the Khajirites rebelled against them during the First Fitna was the arbitration of the Battle of Siffin.
* Khalid ibn al-Walid and Amr ibn al-As military prowess and tactical mind that allowed for amazing victories (Conquest of Mecca, Invasion of Iraq, Siege of Damascus, Battle of Fahl, Battle of Yarmourk, Battle of Heliopolis and fall of Alexandria) and the conquest of Levant (Syria and Palestine) and Egypt and parts of Lybia , might mean he and the Rashidun army might have been portrayed as chads.
Germania

Germania is a region in Central Europe and the home of the germs, one of the most evil barbarians. second only to the huns.

## Trivia

* While Romans failed to maintain control of claims in Germania Magna after Battle of Teutoburg, Germania Inferior (consisting of modern-day Luxembourg, the southern Netherlands, part of Belgium, and part of North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany) and Superior (comprising an area of today's western Switzerland, the French Jura and Alsace regions, and southwestern Germany) would become part of Roman Empire with the local Germanic tribes like Batavi becoming romanized.
* Despite the setbacks from Battle of Teutoburg, Romans were able to make few incursions and create client kings within the region until the untimely death of Valentinian I.
Marcus Junius Brutus

Lucius Junius Brutus (ancestor)

**Marcus Junius Brutus** was was a young senator in the last days of the Roman Republic and a secret son of Julius Caesar. Because Cesar spent a lot of time in the campaign and in politics, he did not have time for brutus and that was exploited by Caesar's political enemies and they managed to convince him of his infamous participation in the death of the dictator.

## "Trivia"

* Although some ancient sources of Caesar's last words mention that he called Brutus "son", by the time Brutus was born, Caesar must have been about 15 years old and it is impossible that he could be the father.
* Brutus is recognized as a synonym for treason in western culture (to the point of being almost on a par with Judas Iscariot). although in reality Brutus' motivations can be seen as justified and seen as just as opposed to Judas' selfish actions in handing over to his master for a silver coin, no matter if that would cause his death.
* the plan of the conspirators was to restore the republic once the assassination was accomplished, where Brutus would be the political and symbolic head of the cause, putting him at the level of his ancestor by overthrowing a tyrant and creating a new republic. Although this ended up being a backfire.
* In Rome VII-The first triumvirate it is revealed that Pompey murdered Brutus' father for making a popularis revolt, but this contradicts what was said in the following episode where Dovah states that Brutus was the product of the love affair of Caesar and the sister of Cato the younger.
	+ Therefore, there are 2 possibilities of who the father is:
	+ 1.- Caesar is not the real father, but loved Brutus as if he was his son.
	+ 2.- Marcus Junius Brutus the elder's wife cheated on him with Caesar, making Brutus only of that family by surname and not by blood.
Monophysites

The **Monophysites** were a sect of satanic influenced Plebs, created to cause great schisms in the Christendom and destroy civilization in the process.

Their ideology is considered heresy by most Romans and they are generally rejected (or persecuted) by society, but that has not prevented them from spreading through several of the important regions of what was left of the empire.

## "Trivia"

* Miaphysites are the major Monophysite group even to the point of being synonymous terminology.
* As the series had Byzantine bias, Monophysites were vilified as the Byzantine Empire proper rejected their philosophies after Third Council of Constantinople under Constantine IV's reign along with many of these denominations would become part of Islamic Caliphate.
* While the Monophysite schism technically ended after the loss of Egypt and Levant to the Arabs along with Third Council of Constantinople in 680, much of their influences probably remained as many suspected Leo III The Isaurian's Iconoclasm and Paulicians to take inspiration from them.
* The division between Chalcedonian and Monophysite caused the Orthodox Church to split between Eastern Orthodox (Eastern European, Greek, and Cyprus) and Oriental Orthodox (Syria, Coptic, and Armenian) that still exists today.
Jan Masaryk

## Jan Maysayak

**Jan Garrigue Masaryk** was a Czechian diplomat and statesman of Czechoslovakia during and after World War II. He appointed as Czechoslovakian Minister of Foreign from 1940 to his death in 1948. He hated Czechslovakian Communist Front which infested Prague National Assembly and being the only non-communist minister in the government. As result, in March 1948, he was thrown to death from his hotel bathroom's window by a squad of communist soldiers (most likely he was murdered by the Soviet NKVD)

## "Trivia"

* Despite it take in modern era, Dovah's portrayal (apart from chad body) of Masaryk is still misleading. IRL, Masaryk didn't wore facial and medium hair. He was bald and clean-shaven.
* Masaryk didn't died naked while took bath. He was wearing pajamas in the time of his death as seen with this photo of his corpse laying in the Prague street. (Warning : NSFW)
Honorius

Galla Placidia (Sister)

Theodosius the Elder (Grandfather)

Constantius III (Brother-in-law)

Aelia Pulcheria (Niece)

Honoria (Niece)

Valentinian III (Nephew)

Honorius is best known for being the Special ED kid who got brainwashed by Olympius to falsely accuse Stilicho of being a traitor, causing the Western Roman Empire to be sacked by Alaric. Honorius got declared Augustus by Theodosius I despite his single digit IQ and neural capacity being lower than that of a fucking jellyfish. Btw not to mention he was a child emperor at the age of 10 when his father, Theodosius I died which explains a whole lot.

## In "Unbiased History"

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

Honorius is born to Theodosius I alongside his brother, Arcadius, who were both chosen to rule two parts of the Roman Empire upon his death. Due to Honorius and Arcadius' young age, both of them were ruled by regent with Honorius ruling the Western Roman Empire with Stilicho from Mediolanum while Arcadius ruling the Eastern Roman Empire with Rufinus in Constantinople.

Stilicho tried his best to raise Honorius, but his lack of intellect meant that he was easily influenced by his rivals in court that was compounded by politicking from Constantinople court. Honorius, under influence of Olympius, had his godfather Stilicho executed.

He had shown little concern for his empire. This was shown by him deciding to let the Saxons take Britannia, and not caring about the Sack of Rome once he learned that it was the city rather than his pet chicken that was attacked. Not even with his sister being abducted and raped by Athaulf did he care.

When Constantius III had his legions stop the Goths from sacking Hispania, freeing Galla Placidia in the process, Honorius, being horny for his sister, married her off to him. When Constantius died of a fever, Honorius made advances onto his sister, causing her to flee to Constantinople.

But then one day, one day, Honorius had a realization, he had enough of being a shitty garbage dump so decided to do something useful, so he performed the best possible thing he could do, and **FUCKING DIED,** after a godawful 30 years of reign

## "Trivia"

* While Honorius is regarded as one of the worst Western Roman Emperors, a reputation not helped by him being ruled by opportunistic regents, his choice in abandoning Britannia was only done due to the island's distance in a time when the empire is dealing with Barbarian incursions with the Saxons being called by local Britain government to deal with Picts in exchange for lands.
* Honorius was stated to have died from Edema and buried at his own Mausoleum, which was later demolished for St Peter's Basilica in 16th century.
* One legend stated that Honorius banned gladiatorial games due to being impressed by a Christian who was killed during his protest against blood sports (though most likely, gladiatorial games weren't hosted for long due to the decline of infrastructures to train gladiators with the meager hosting of arena fights being mostly pitted between man and animal).
* He contributed a lot to the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
John I Tzimiskes

**John I Tzimiskes** was the Byzantine Emperor who took over the throne from his uncle Nikephoros II Phokas. His major actions during his reign is his campaign against Rus under Grand Prince Sviatoslav, who later negotiated peace but was killed by Pecheneks who were persuaded to betray the Grand Prince during his return home. His 7 years reign also saw major reconquest in the balkans against the Bulgarians, came to an end in 976 with Basil II assuming the throne.

## Trivia

* While a capable Emperor, his assassination of Nikephoros II could have possibly made him a Wojak, but if overlooked he would have been a chad.
* He was possibly having an affair with Theophano, who was exiled from Constantinople as a mean to legitimize his coup via framing her as main conspirator.
* John I was presumable killed by Basil Lekapenos, who feared that his massive estates in Anatolia and his influence in upper echelon would have been stripped away.
Pyrrhus of Epirus

Pyrrus was a Greekoid barbarian general who fought Rome several times.

While Rome was mediating a dispute in Magna Grecia, a barbarian mudhut city called Tarantum attacked the Romans. When Rome invaded Magna Grecia, Tarantum called for help from mainland Greece.

Pyrrus, out of sheer boredom and a lust for blood due to his barbarian nature, used this as an excuse to attack civilization. Pyrrus then would fight the Romans, but would spam his war elephants to force a "victory". Although he technically won the battle, he suffered massive casualites.

After this "victory" Pyrrus marched onward to Rome, and due to his barbarian nature, he destroyed anything that wasnt a mudhut. But, when he got to Rome, he looked at the walls was too intimidated to fight.

Pyrrus then had a skirmish with the Romans at Asculum, he almost lost, but spammed his elephants and forced a "victory".

## "Trivia"

* While Pyrrhus was notable for being a namesake for Pyrrhic Victory, he was actually a capable commander with Roman's numerical advantage in their homelands and the heavy loss his army's relatively irreplaceable manpower in Battle of Heraclea being the main reason for such terms.
* His death which prompted by a Spartan woman smashing a brick to his head and effectively killed him is nowhere to be seen or mentioned in the series.
Jovian

Jovinan was a Roman solider and the son in law of the magister equitum Lucillianus, who was kidnapped by the emperor Julian the Apostate, when he took Sirmium luckily Jovian wasn’t there. However Jovian was present during the funeral of Constantius II and was made captain of the Palatini by Julian.

Jovian accompanied Julian during the Parthian campaign, but due to shitiness of Procopius, Julian died in battle, and the generals proclaimed Jovian their emperor, and he tried bying time for Procopius’s men to link up with him but they never showed up and Jovian was forced to sign a humiliating peace treaty, and it was only then that Procopius showed up.

During his short and mocked reign he gave Christians favoritism over paganism and sent the general Valentinian to guard an irrelevant fort, and Jovian went to sleep one night in a freshly painted bedchamber, and the fumes from the freshly painted walls suffocated Jovian in his sleep.
Agrippina the Younger

Agrippina the Younger was the oldest daughter of Germanicus and Agrippina the Elder and granddaughter of Antonia Minor. Despite the efforts of her mother and grandmother to raise her to be a virtuous woman, she would take more after Livia, from whom she learned all about how a Roman viper would operate in life. She would be married off to Gnaeus Domitius Ahnerobarbus with whom she would have a son, the future Emperor Nero. When Caligula was Emperor, he would have a relationship with her and his other two sisters before Julia Drusilla died and she and her other sister were found plotting against Caligula with Marcus Aemilius Lepidus, forcing her into exile in the aftermath. Claudius would welcome Agrippina the Younger back to Rome and marry her after Messalina's failed coup against him. However, she would poison Claudius, hoping to rule the Empire through her son Nero, something which didn't happen with how Agrippina ended up being assassinated by Nero.

## "Trivia"

* While Agrippina was guilty of poisoning Claudius for her son Nero, she was the one who appointed Seneca and other capable advisors to maintain stability within the empire.
Pap

**Pap of Armenia** is an Armenian King who sought aid from Valens after his kingdom was conquered by Shapur II, who decided to depose him when he proved himself to be a horrible king.

## Trivia

* Much of Pap's negative reputation (resulting him being drawn as Virgin) was the result of hostile accounts by the Armenian Church, which had poor relations with him despite the fact that he had proven as a capable ruler who managed to stabilize his war-torn kingdom in his 4-years reign.
* Pap is a member of Arsacid Dynasty, which was longest reigning dynasty from its beginning in 12 CE to its abolition by Sassanids in 428 CE.
* Pap is the son of Arsaces II and uncle of Varazdat, who would be installed as his successor by Valens.
	+ Pap also had two sons, Arsaces III and Vologases, who would reclaim their father's throne from Varazdat with the aid of Manuel Mamikonian.
* Allegedly, he poisoned the Patriach Nerses I of Armenia but recent scholarship disputed this claim despite his clashes with the church and seizures of church lands.
* Historically, Valens suspected Pap of colluding with Persians that he ordered an assassination but its failure led him to order his General to invite him to banquet where he would be murdered.
	+ Afterwards, Valens would felt guilt for his actions upon Pap.
Geiseric

**Geiseric** (389-477) was the King of the Vandals who took over North Africa during Bonifacius' uprising and establishing the Barbarian Vandal Kingdom. Under his reign, he would sack Rome and later repulsed a major liberation campaign led by Emperor Leo I from the Eastern Roman Empire.

## In "Unbiased History"

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

Geiseric was in Hispania when he was called on by Bonifacius to aid him in rebelling against Rome. This backfired, causing him to slaughter his way through Numidia, being unable to fully take Hippo thanks to Augustine, making a deal with Bonifacius to have that territory ceded to Geiseric, but he then took over Carthage, Corsica, Sicily, and Sardinia, forming the Vandal Kingdom, which would last until the reign of Jusitinian.

Later, he would receive a letter from Licinia, begging for him to marry her instead of having been married to Petronius, giving him the best excuse to invade Rome. The depopulated city was easy to sack, putting in a worse condition than even Alaric had put it in, so bad in fact that "vandal" would be immortalized as an insult, referring to those who actively seek the destruction of property.

When Majorian organized an attack on his kingdom, he convinced one of his pleb legionnaires to burn the fleet, just as Marcellinus retook Sicily. Before that, he ravaged his own lands, just to make the invasion worthless. When Libius replaced Majorian, Geiseric disputed Ricimer's decision, requesting the puppet to be replaced with Olybrius, who was in the Eastern Empire at the time. Leo refused, placing Procopius Anthemius on the throne instead. Before Anthemius died, Geiseric had to fend off a fleet organized by Leo himself. He would convince another legionnaire to buy time for him, while he would make his own fleet with explosives, decimating the fleet and rendering the second invasion a failure.

At the end of the main portion, his face would be present as the remnant of the Western Empire would fall. He is seen in the ending montage with the shadows of Odoacer, Attila, Alaric, and Ricimer in the background, overseeing Stilicho, Aetius, and Majorian.

### "Byzantium I - The Eastern Empire"

Geiseric would die during this time period and succeeded by his grandson, Hilderic, born from Eudoxia and his son, Huneric.

## "Trivia"

* Historically, Geiseric let Licinia return to Constantinople as part of negotiations while allowing her daughter Eudoxia to stay at his court as part of the original agreement with Valentinian III.
* Geiseric was an illegitimate son of Godigisel and a female slave, who may have been of Roman origin that would make him half-Roman.
* It would be impossible for Geiseric to destroy Leo's fleet with explosives, as gunpowder, the thing that make explosives explodable, would not be invented until over 300 years after Geiseric died. Instead, he utilised fireships, boats loaded with firewood and set alight for the purpose of setting other ships alight.
* Despite Being shown during the fall of Dalmatia and Soissons he died some years before that
Hibernians

**The Hibernians** were a barbaric and a savage people related to Britons. They lived in Hibernia, a barbaric worthless land of mudhuts and chaos. They were notable for being unconquered. The Romans first encountered the Hibernians when Agricola invaded Britain, finding one of their exiled kings Túathal who Agricola helped restored to power but decided not to conquer Hibernia since Ireland is and always is worthless. The Hibernians continued to make cameo appearances throughout the series including when Commodus killed them in the colosseum and participating in the great conspiracy to invade Britainnia during the reign of Valentinian I.

## "Trivia"

* Despite their lack of Roman control, Hibernians would adopt Christianity with St. Patrick being considered as a major influence in its mass-adoption.
	+ In an ironic twist, this would lead Ireland to become center of scholarship due to its monasteries preserving knowledges--which brain surgeries were even practiced--after the collapse of Western Roman Empire.
Constantine II

Cryspus (elder half brother)

Constantius II (brother)

Constans (brother)

Maxentius (uncle)

Contantius I (grandfather)

Helena (grandmother)

**Constantine II** (*Flavius Claudius Constantinus) (316-340)* was the second son of Constantine I, His failed invasion of Italy and subsequent death lead to him being awarded the Bibulus Award.

## Appearance

Constantine II is depicted as a virgin (just like his uncle), and wears a light tan-coloured tunic with brown boots and hair.

## In Unbiased History

### Rome XVI - Constantine The Great

Knowing that his last years of life were approaching, Constantine tried to see which of his remaining children could be his heir and only got mixed results (at the very least).
this because he knew that his children were not prepared to rule and that they could not oppose what was approaching the empire.

Constantine II was the complete opposite of him; a cowardly, selfish idiot whose vanity and betrayal knew no bounds. Constantius II was strong and intelligent, but cynical because of his mother Upbringing, and Constans was gay, a very unchristian thing (also a bit obsessed with sex).

In an attempt to avoid any civil war after his death, Constantine I made a spiritual version of the tetrachy with this configuration:

- The western regions (Gaul, Hispania, Britain and parts of the North African coast) were handed over to Constantine II.

- Italy and its nearest provinces, Sicily and parts of the North African coast (including Carthage) were handed over to Constante even if he was a minor.

- The eastern regions (Egypt, Levant, Anatolia) to Constantius II.

- Greece and Thrace to Damaltus.

### Rome XVII - Imperial Wrath

After the death of his father and massacre of his extended family, the sons of the late emperor decided to respect their father's wishes of territorial division for themselfs.

With Constantine II being obligated to be a regent for Constans because he wasn't legally an adult (something he hated). time passed and his desire for more territory only grew, seen his opportunity after his little brother lost Dacia, he demanded parts of North Africa and Sicily with a threat of war and Constans was forced to obey since he wasn't prepared for a conflic in that moment.

But he couln't take Carthage and after Constans became legally an adult, thus ending his control, an enraged Constantine II invaded Italy rushing like a moron and getting ambushed near Aquileia like a bitch and easily getting killed.

## "Trivia"

* He along with Constantius II and Constans were behind the massacre of intended and possible heirs after Constantine's death.

## “Trivia”

* Much of Phocas’ history was written during the Heraclian Dynasty's reign, which make its reliability questionable at best.
	+ While Phocas’s usurpation led to war with Persia, the worst phases for the Romans occurred may have been caused by the Heraclian revolt as many soldiers who were fighting against the Persians were diverted to deal with the rebellion and this weakened the army due to said conflicts.
	+ It should be noted than Phocas’ reign contributed to weaken the elite of the Empire, which lead to the creation of the Thémata down the line.
	+ Paradoxically, Phocas was very popular in Italy where he did his best to please the local elite.
	+ Despite these effects, his poor leadership resulting in his inability to gather allies, disdain of Constantinople's elites and bureaucracy, and reliance on his relatives for power along with focus on purges against any opposition against him led to his abysmal response to Persian invasion and uprisings against him.
* While he did burn Narses to death, it was due to Narses' attempt at defecting to Sassanid that resulted in execution.
* Phocas may have been instrumental in making Papacy of Rome independent due to his proclamation of their status as “head of the churches”.
* Phocas was also a rapist, which Heraclius had him castrated posthumously in response to his violation of a noblewoman in Constantinople.
* Along with Commodus and Licinius, He is one of the only romans to truly be evil.
* Ironically, Phocas may have popularized beards among Eastern Roman Emperors, or at least as idealized form, despite Unbiased History's art as many coins and arts of Byzantine Emperors before Phocas were clean-shaven.
	+ Also his cruel regime also popularized blinding and castration as punishment long after his death.
* In contrast to the previous emperors of Byzantines in Unbiased History, his regalia's shoulder pad is adorned by reverse crosses (symbol associated with satanism) in contrast to Christian crosses.
* Unbiased History briefly mention the Column of Phocas, which present Phocas as *the best, most clement and pious ruler*.

Cosibah

" We've had enough of long noses and money jokes.
Judea belongs to the Jews!"

-Bar Kokhba proclaiming open rebellion against Roman rule
in Judea.

**Bar Kokhba** was a Jewish false messiah who led one of the greatest rebellions
of his people against the Romans in an attempt to take back Judea at any cost.

## in Unbiased History

### The Five Good Emperors

Even after the previous revolts failed terribly, the Jews were at it again, seeking to start yet another revolt. Led by the proclaimed messiah Bar Kokhba, his followers vowed to regain Judea, by whatever means necessary.

Taking the Roman guardion of Jerusalem by surprise, Bar Kokhba killed all of them and took the city of Jerusalem for himself, when the legions of the region tried to stop him and restore peace, they were annihilated by half a million rebellious Jews.

Once with full control of Judea he began to purge it of all non-Jews, including early Christians and Roman citizens (including their wives and children) when news of this massacre reached the emperor ... Hadrian ... was...**MAD**.

Gathering 12 legions and being transported by the imperial fleet, they arrived in Judea and began to kill every Jew they saw (including several of the non-rebels). He had no mercy on them and gave them no quarter, Hadrian would not leave with nothing less. .. **THAN THE COMPLETE DESTRUCTION OF JUDEA.**

After these events and having crushed the revolt, it is possible that Bar Kokhba was assassinated at some point lost in time.

* Bar Kokhba managed to create an independent Jewish state for at least a year. With that time he even got to modify the denarius coins to include him or some important symbol for his people, along with the already existing shekels.
* He is considered both as a kind of hero and as a false messiah by many modern Jews and the state of Israel. A hero for opposing and fighting Rome and the false messiah by the rabbis for having lost the fight and causing (indirectly) the Jewish diaspora.
* Historians have conclude that Bar Kokhba actually had just over 230,000 soldiers and not half a million as Unbiased History puts it.
	+ The reality is that Hadrian made an indiscriminate purge during his intervention in the revolt and by the time it ended, it is estimated that a number equivalent to that of the rebels died, plus thousands of innocent civilians and unarmed people were the half a million mentioned in the show. Many modern historians have likened it to a genocide.
	+ In the Series, His nose is Twice the size as all the other Jews in the Series (citation needed).

Before Romans came, they bathed themselves in mud, urine and vomit, lived in mudhuts, and communicated in a language so simplistic that even monkeys have a more complex language. They were notable for their stupidity, treachery, and barbarism. The Romans first encountered the Britons when Caesar invaded the island, but he never conquered it. It was later conquered by the Romans, but almost immediately Britons rebelled, and were led by Boudica, but the rebellion was crushed at Watling Street so hard that Britons never rose up against Romans again. The Britons were never fully civilized by the Romans. When Romans left Britannia in 410 AD, the Britons begged them to come back, but Romans were not able to return to the island due to the situation in the mainland. Over the coming years, the Germanic Angles, Saxons, Jutes, and Frisians invaded the Britons. Britons and Anglo-Saxons then fought bloody and brutal wars that lasted for decades, but in the end Anglo-Saxons conquered large portions of the island. The Britons held out in Wales, Dumnonia (Cornwall), northern England.

* According to Bede's Anglo-Saxon Chronicles, the Britons invited the Saxons to defend them from Celts in wake of Roman withdrawal of the isle rather than being invaded and abandoned.
