15:42 I don't know how it would be hard to argue against that claim when Rome, far from "never returning" to the possession of the emperors, was returned only like 60 years later, and then the empire held the city again for another 219 years (about the same timespan as the time between Napoleon and today).
@idiottalkshistory

Fair point about the 60 years later thing, the Byzantines did come into possession of it around 535 after the Gothic War. I should have noted that. But after the Lombard invasion of Italy in 569 it is seriously hard to argue that the Byzantines controlled anything in the city. Nominally they held sovereignty over the area but practically it was controlled via a combination of the Pope, the Franks, the Lombards, and the Byzantines on the side. But fair point I really should have noted that!
@marvelfannumber1

@@idiottalkshistory What makes you say that? The Popes still required imperial approval after being elected up to Pope Benedict II in 684. The Exarch of Ravenna arrested the Pope on numerous occasions and dictated foreign policy against the Lombards. Not to mention that Constans II straight up visited Rome in 663, and moved the capital to Sicily during his reign. I think it's pretty hard to argue the empire did not have control of Rome, when the emperor was able to visit.

The term "Imperator" in ancient Rome did not mean "emperor" in the way we understand it in modern English. Instead, it referred specifically to the head of the army, similar to what we would call a "commander-in-chief" today. Augustus, the first Roman emperor, preferred to use the term "Princeps" to describe himself, which means "first citizen" or "leading citizen." Over time, later Romans began to use his name, "Augustus," as the title for what we now consider an emperor.

An extremely Western view of the source material. I am predisposed to lean west/US, and I'm not a smart historian, but this is clearly a reciting of facts from a 200 year old British worldview and the subsequent publications that agree with it. The video lacks nuance and depth and this issue is compounded by a matter of fact delivery. It suggests that this *is* the way things were, as if our current understanding is concrete because a book said so. Don't mean to blow you up like this, you clearly love Rome and did a great job compiling the info. You know your stuff and clearly many many people have commended you for this. I would suggest embracing bias in the historical sources, supporting information with cultural factors that help build our understanding the facts, and nailing details like pronunciation. Linguistics and word choice have a big impact on what people take away from a subject as information dense as this video.

Why would the Ottomans have a better claim than the Holy Roman Empire? The Ottomans conquered and replaced an already questionably roman empire, the byzantine empire which had little at all to do with the latin speaking ethnically italian romans, all that remained within the Byzantine empire was the roman bureaucracy, which also was true for the kingdom of Soissons, arguably the last piece of the western roman empire with an actually latin population to be conquered. Charlemagne was crowned on the grounds of actually holding dominion over the romans, unlike the byzantines. Infact if you count the Byzantines as part of the empire why don't you count the several north african states that continued the roman bureacracy? Even with how silly I think viewing the byzantines of 1453 as roman is, viewing the Ottomans as roman might even be more ridiculous. Is the british empire a continuation of the Mughal empire just because it happened to have conquered it? Obviously it isn't. The thread connecting Romulus I to Constantine XI is barely even recognizable, and the thread connecting him to Mehmet VI is honestly just nonexistant. If you call the Ottoman empire roman you might aswell call any country in the world roman. Why not just call the Turkey of today "The roman empire"? It has just as much of a connection to rome as the ottomans ever had, IE zero.
