  All of Agrippa&apos;s sons died very young, and while none of them could hope to live up to their father&apos;s legacy, it is sad that such a great man&apos;s lineage would be cut so short.

  Augustus&apos;s last days...sad but fascinating. Too bad Germanicus could not succeed Tiberius.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuIPTrBn0Lk&amp;t=777">12:57</a> &nbsp;The eclipse mentioned here was a total lunar eclipse that would have been witnessed by the Pannonian legions in the pre-dawn sky of September 27, 14 AD (a little more than five weeks after Augustus&apos; death). &nbsp;The early part of the eclipse would have been easily visible, with the moon acquiring its typical blood-red hue. &nbsp;However, as the dawn sky brightened, the totally eclipsed moon would have been rendered completely invisible, which might have been a particularly foreboding spectacle to the superstitious legionaries.

  I adore the really blunt title describing the whole mess, like a shrug towards it:<br>&quot;Now what?&quot;

  I need HBO to produce another Rome show NOW!! Personally an anthology series were each season portrays different significant eras of Roman Rule would be preferred 😂 12 episodes each as well none of this 8 BS…

  Interesting.<br><br>Someone as competent and well prepared had a rough time with the succession. No wonder a change of administration was generally tough on the empire -- and why periods of frequent changes at the top were pretty much always awful.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuIPTrBn0Lk&amp;t=162">2:42</a> small correction, Agrippa postumus was Agrippa&apos;s son, and Augustus&apos; maternal grandson

  Hey just an FYI, I love this channel, and I need to preface this with I get it on the members only content, and I don&apos;t care that there is stuff behind a paywall that I don&apos;t get to access. Totally cool, and if this is working out for you overall, that&apos;s fantastic.... However I want to let you know a user experience in case it makes a difference to you or would be of help, of course if it&apos;s not promptly ignore me;<br><br>I have not been recommended a video from this channel since you started doing the members-only videos en masse. The only reason I ended up here today was because of the Wizards and Warriors channel, I assume it&apos;s related to this one because of the similarities, but I am not sure at all. Anyways, that&apos;s really all I had for you. I&apos;ll definitely make sure to check now that I realized it was happening, but yeah you disappeared from my recommendations entirely.<br><br>Again, I only care to say anything in case it&apos;s impacting the channel or you or whatever. If this works for you, that&apos;s great. Love the channel(s?), keep up the fantastic work.
