    You, your two books(i got them on audible.) and your channel, made me take italian lessons. And now ive invited my old mother to Rome, as she always wanted to go. - ive been there once, more than a decade ago. And i cant wait to go back in april. thank you for all your work.
  • The very end of this makes me curious about these Roman "offices." Great video!!

    can we get the biggest projects a consul ever made too? emperors had decades and power to make them happend but consuls (pre-emperial era) had only a year or less. i'm taling about the Pompey, the Sulla, the Cicero. surely many projects were made by consuls.

    Been watching this channel on, and off since lockdown in 2020, and it has always represented to me what's best about YouTube, and the Internet. Thank you.
  • Thank you for all the high-quality content and greets from the Nationalpark Eifel near cologne. The whole region here is full with amazing roman relics. And through you I learnt to understand them better.👍👍👍
  • You have cut a rod for your own back, Mr Ryan. The standard you have set for your work, I mean. Really very interesting and often borders on the poetical, and now ya has to keep it up, for the foreseeable future. ") One of the writers I never miss watching the same day you post for us. Thank you.

    Were there passenger carriages going from city to city in the Roman Empire?

    Another informative, educational, and entertaining video, thank you. Question, how did the stone Temple of Jupiter burn so easily and often?
