I originally wanted this video to be on the shorter side, but when I realized I probably needed to conclude this narrative with a breakdown of Diocletian and why his reforms Actually Worked Kind Of, we found ourselves right back at the 10-12 minute runtime.

Such is life.

I wore my Zenobia t-shirt today in anticipation of this video.

Sounds like a fun world building setting for a strategy game!

Blue's videos are a big part of my "Past and Future History of the World", an experiment to build a singular historical timeline, mostly from YouTube, Wikipedia, and other websites. This allows for viewing history from the perspective of "what happened at this point, around the globe" - something I call Longitudinal History.
