Added 2018-01-12 18:31:01 +0000 UTCJustinian had been meddling in his affairs, and Khosrau had the proof. It was time for a holy war!

2018-01-26 18:50:08 +0000 UTCSo this episode was like a cross over with one of the Justinian epsidoes

2018-01-16 11:00:33 +0000 UTCWasn't it the Ostrogoths who were fighting in Italy and the Visigoths in Spain?

2018-01-15 13:48:46 +0000 UTCParlay! Parley! Actually, it's merely a guideline, you might say.

2018-01-14 19:43:58 +0000 UTCI am back! I missed you guys. For a while I wasn't even sure the Justinian in this series was the same one we knew and loved. It turned out it was, and that story was turned on its head by the fact that our protagonist happens to be Khosrau!

2018-01-14 07:23:56 +0000 UTCHonestly, I have to admit. Seeing both sides of the story, seeing these two men of great intelligence, passion and nobility clashing against one another makes me sad... Alone, they did so much... just imagine what they might have been able to do, if they had instead worked together. If they were able to put aside their grudges and history, and work together to make both of their empires truely *great*

2018-01-14 00:20:46 +0000 UTCThat's fascinating! Thank you so much for sharing! It's unfortunate to hear these groups are being persecuted, but it is interesting to hear about the diversity in the region.

2018-01-13 12:20:27 +0000 UTCChecking wikipedia reveals that it was essentially a suburb of Ctesiphon and it appears to have declined alongside the main city following the rise of Baghdad as the dominant city in the area. However, Roman descendants are very much a thing in Iraq, which is actually quite a melting pot of ancient and medieval ethnic groups in the region. There are a couple hundred thousand native Iraqis with red hair and freckles, for example. Until the 2003 US invasion, it was also the refuge for all sorts of small religions and denominations that have died out in the rest of Eurasia. Rising sectarianism and tribalism following the invasion means that increasingly these groups have been persecuted and live as refugees in various parts of Europe. The most prominent example is probably how Södertälje just south of Stockholm is the center of global Aramean culture.

2018-01-13 01:48:29 +0000 UTCKhosrau really should have mentioned to Justinian's envoy about the whole adoption scheme...

2018-01-13 01:07:37 +0000 UTCThat's amazing. The more I hear about Khosrau, the more I fall in love with him! This episode got me curious though. Is Weh Antiok Khusrau still around? Is it still populated with Roman descendants?

2018-01-12 23:34:45 +0000 UTCJustinian's Envoy: What did we do? Khosrau: What DIDN'T you do?

2018-01-12 23:30:48 +0000 UTCAn entire military campaign just to humiliate your rival.... Priceless

2018-01-12 18:56:56 +0000 UTCMakes me want to go back and rewatch the series on Justinian to get the other side. It's great you're doing both sides of this war. Someone one said, "History is filled with great minds meeting .... head on."

2018-01-12 18:44:01 +0000 UTCAs a Early Access Patreon Fridays felt a little odd for me with no Extra History to look Forward to. Guys, Willkommen zurück und ein gutes neues Jahr! [Translation: Welcome Back and Happy New Year!} P.S: Oh and you can be sure I am Rooting for the Byzantines in this Series. I am ALWAYS Rooting for the Byzantines whenever they come up. ;-)
