Brilliant video! As much as this is Belisarius' series I think Narses often gets characterised as a villain despite being just as loyal and capable as Belisarius.
Of the men that came after him, I can think of two that were dubbed a 'Belisarius' John Kourkouas and Alexios Philanthropenos. It just goes to show how respected he was.
wow…..finally it came out that Belisarius is the Tragic Hero of Roman history, adultery wife and same bear characteristic belong to her friend cum benefactor empress Theodora and corrupt, greedy emperor Justinian….at the episode end what is he achieved is my lifelong Respect. He is truely a hero, a Good General, Loyal Soldier with combination of spitefull companion.
great series, narrator, historical accuracy, artwork and music. Keep up the great work. Please do also the period from year 650 until medieval times. That dark age does not have a lot of information or documentaries. Meanwhile I will start on my channel a Mod 555 campaign very inspired to play Total War in this time period
I almost always prefer Belisarius kind of heroes over the Alexanders ones. What a mind tickling feelings when brilliantness beats overwhelming odds, after Allah wills of course, over and over. Thanks guys for crafting such piece of arts about such western immortal figures for us eastern nations to enjoy.
Eid Mubarak to you all, and may Allah save us and our beloved from horrors of wars, Ameen.
Jesus…what Agathias writes about Belisarius putting on his uniform once more sends chills down my spine Thank you Epic history and Mr. Parnell for giving tribute to a loyal and honorable man 🙂
Thanks to Belisarius i was able to visit Rome and see all of the monuments that were spared destruction. The pen can truly be mightier than the sword! If only more people understood and valued his contributions to history!
Every time someone says something bad about a woman its 'misogynistic' even if they criticize the men just as badly. Zeus forbid any woman in history has a flaw.
I love this series I’m a huge Roman fan and I’d never heard of him before this series which is surprising so I hope there will be more please make more, well done
Legend is that Totila challenged Narses to single combat and started a War Dance in front of the army and send Narses the message , to Narses replying Tell Totila to finish the nonsense so we can start the Battle
Rome was never kind to its greatest generals, remember what happened to publio cornelio escipion, he was the one that saved rome from hannibal barca, he ended ordering that his bones were not buried in the ingrate nation that saw him come.
Belisarius, like Bonaparte, seems to have had that very rare gift that is the mark of truly great commanders; that is to be both a skilled tactician as well as a good politician. Bravo!
Epic history tv fantastic job once again! Watching these videos while drinking morning coffee before i start up my total war campaign as usual 🙂 Best way to get hyped. Would be cool to see something about the first punic war covered. I haven't found much information about the first punic war. It's always about the second one and hannibal crossing the alps etc. And a series about scipio africanus would also be cool! Keep up the good work! Love this channel
Such an amazing tale. Why it hasn't been adapted into a show, I do not understand. It has the high profile characters, intrigue, and shocking historical events.
Belisarius served an Emperor who bordered on being a misanthrope. One of the last Generals who defined himself by warfare, while the real war was the internal battles of the court at Constantinople. The muddied politic which bled over into the defining of theology, and further ruination of man's own self aspect in regards to the divine. A decisive period in time which continues to plague the West with sheer dogma. Gore Vidal attempted to illustrate this complex period in history with his book, Julian.

Absolutely astonishing voice and animation.

Interesting ! But how could Narses retake Italy ?
Burning Boat dropped on bridge= Ultimate Boss Move
Absolutely amazing work here. Blown away by this. Well done
Suggest to do a series about Heraclius
Now, this is an epic TV series screaming to happen on some of the streaming services!

THE LIST OF MY FAVORITE GENERALS
Jesus…what Agathias writes about Belisarius putting on his uniform once more sends chills down my spine
Thank you Epic history and Mr. Parnell for giving tribute to a loyal and honorable man 🙂
Thank you for a truly epic and entertaining series. A man that should be remembered always
Did anybody manage to find the name of the music in the beginning?
That intro got me so hyped, man…
Thanks to Belisarius i was able to visit Rome and see all of the monuments that were spared destruction. The pen can truly be mightier than the sword! If only more people understood and valued his contributions to history!
No words except amazing! Thank you so much for this series!
interaction
Truly, the last of the roman.
Be appeased Belisarius for you are remembered as the one who reconquered Italy and not Narses.

Belisarius was the man.

This is one of the best history series I have ever seen! Outstanding.
Rome was never kind to its greatest generals, remember what happened to publio cornelio escipion, he was the one that saved rome from hannibal barca, he ended ordering that his bones were not buried in the ingrate nation that saw him come.
All fear the tortilla
Bellisarius was a true Billy Bad Ass. One even Chuck Norris himself would bow down too
An incredible series. Bravo.
Belisarius, like Bonaparte, seems to have had that very rare gift that is the mark of truly great commanders; that is to be both a skilled tactician as well as a good politician. Bravo!
Enjoyed this.
Thanks for putting this series together. It is fantastic work, I think second only to your Napoleonic Wars series. 🙏
this is the last video i watch but not the first 1 report

you have rusian bots and you make nothing to support ucraine

“Belisarius the King of Clutch”
My downvote was brought to you by: Displate.
This was a one of your best series!
Sad to see it end, but curious about the next.
Thanks for all the hard work!
Awesome, as always
