No problem, the crisis isn’t often talked about in school. For me (iirc, it’s been about 6 years) once we got past the five good emperor the rest just gets glossed over with only Constantine and a few others being brought up before the fall...of the west, they never talk about the very successful east.
The sixty includes a lot of men who claimed to be emperor but are not recognized as true emperors and are instead labeled as usurpers. But it was like 50-60 in fifty years.
Rome died in 1453. Romes cultural peak was Christian Constantinople in my opinion. Although it did not produce nearly as many legendary names as the Western half. Trump talks a lot about momentum. When you keep the momentum, great things can happen. When you lose it, things start to decline. It amazes me just how long the Romans held out in the east, despite them having lost their momentum after the fall of the West and Justinians reconquering efforts. Anyway, I hope Trump is more like a succesfull Pompeius who restores the republic rather than a Caesar who establishes a dictatorship. The Trump political dynasty can be the peoples dynasty. But democracy should be restored and trusted, because you don't want Nero Trump to rule the land in the future.
Yeah true, Pompey was probably more of an aristocrat than a peoples person. Trump combines the peoples person charisma of Caesar and the pro republicanism of Pompey.

Finally, someone whom recognizes the Eastern half as the true heir to Rome.
Although Pompey was great he sold old to the old fucks like Cato.

Not really pro Republicanism, he was pro interests of the optimates-the wealthy elite.
Then perhaps it’s a new term? Idk. I only heard about it in the last year or so.
Also if you love Roman history go watch Dovahhatty’s content. It’s hilarious.
Yup. It’s funny.
That sounds intersting, when I get more money I’ll put that on my list to buy.
