Valentines Day

Hello History lovers! Its Valentines Day! So much Love and chocolate of course ;)

  Valentines Day is celebrate Love and all that commercial stuff but really it the suggested day that Saint Valentine was martyred and buried on the cemetery on the Via Flaminia, near Milvian Bridge.
Since not much is known about Valentine, many go off by what the Roman Catholic Church states. Apparently he would marry people secretly, mainly Catholic People since it was illegal to be Catholic back in the Roman Ages. Sadly not much else is not known about him. Just remember without him you wouldn't have your lovey dovey day.

Happy Valentines Day!

How many Caesars did it take?

Hello History Lovers! How is your learning of the Roman Empire going? Do you know much about the Caesars? If not, keep reading!

From Augustus to Romulus, their was 147 Caesars in total. Thats a lot of men if you think about it. Men, Divided, Power ,Greed, Death, is what comes to my mind of Caesars. Now the Roman Empire had Western and Eastern Empires. Western being first and Eastern being second.

Western Dynasties of Emperors
- Julio-Claudian
- Year of 4 Emperors( The name is explanatory, 4 emperors either were killed or committed suicide   )
-Flavian
-Nerva-Antonine
-Year of 5 Emperors( Almost Same situation as the 4. it was scary to be a Caesar back in the day)
-Severan

So from 235-284 A.D, the Empire nearly collapsed due to war, plague, economy problems

-Gordian
- Tetrarchy
-Constantinian

The last Emperors of Western was from Petronius Maximus - Romulus Augustulus (9 Caesars in total)

Eastern Dynasties of Emperors
During this time, transitioning into the Byzantium era
-Leonid
-Justinian
-Non
-Heraclian
-Twenty Years Anarchy ( instability of the Byzantium era)
-Isaurian
-Nikephorian
-Non
-Amorian
-Macedonian
-Non
-Komnenid
-Doukid
-Angelid
Laskarid
-Palaiologan

          Obviously for Roman purposes Western is our Topic but, it is important to know about the future of the Roman Empire!
                                                 Until next Time!

How was the Roman Empire Founded?

Hello History lovers, Welcome back to the Blog!!!! Let's start our Journey!!!


  Now the Roman Empire didn't happen until 27 B.C. Before that, years of war and Julius Caesar. Julius is the man involved with Cleopatra who was stabbed by the Senate on the steps(How tragic). Once 27 B.C came, the Senate and the People voted Octavian(later known as Augustus) thus beginning the Principate( first epoch of Roman Imperial History). Augustus has much success but his heirs were more successful. Augustus' blood related family did not succeed in ruling, they all died before him. So his stepson Tiberius ruled after him. This created the Julio -Claudian Dynasty. In the Roman Empire, Christianity was not the religion until A.D 380. Yes Christianity did exist but you were killed if it was known that you were a christian. The religion at that time was Imperial Cult-Driven Polytheism. Think about gods and goddess and sacrifices to please the gods.
