have you seen this? a whole ton of documentaries- roman history, barbarians etc

[runes]

i'm not sure if it's a repost or not.

i'm trying to find the best ones, but i'm watching Terry Jones' barbarian series right now. pretty interesting stuff.

i'd suggest everyone check some of these out, i've seen some of them and alot of them are pretty quality. i didn't look over them all, but i don't think it has the (really excellent) battles for britain series, which irc had some really good re-enactments and tactical level info.

Fantastic! Thanks.

[Karo]

Cool, I can't decide what to watch first

[Teleklos Archelaou]

There's a Sabaean one too down the list - search 'Sheba' and you'll see it.

[overweightninja]

Nice site, you want to be careful posting links like that here though, not sure what the mods will think of that.
Cheers anyway though, have bookmarked! :2thumbsup:

Most are on google video - that doesn't look problematic to me.

[cmacq]

the Vindolanda program is very good. if anyone wants information on the late roman army in Britain watch this one.

[russia almighty]

and I always thought saba was obscure of the obscure . The fact that a documentary was made about the area at least is good .

Anyone seen the black britons or nubia one yet ? any west african BS weaved in ?

[Centurion Crastinus]

Holy crap, that was a good video. I wish the history channel still showed cool stuff like this. All they have now is crap about how we will all die from a natural disaster, or from an asteroid.

[Lusitani]

Awsome Blog....thanks for posting.

[Thaatu]

I recommend Terry Jones' The Primitive Celts.

[pezhetairoi]

Runes, this is like, the best debut ever made on an EB forum. You've found the way to our hearts...not under ribs, but through the documentaries we watch.

EDIT: Urgh! I can't watch it because for some reason my computer can't play audio when video is streamed, I have to download the file and watch it in my comp. But for some reason the download always tells me it's complete after a handful of megabytes although I can see the file is over 100mb. Anyone can help?

[LusitanianWolf]

Awesome!!!!!
TY!!!!!! :2thumbsup:

[Emperor Burakuku]

Thanks for sharing this treasure with us dude.

[Tarkus]

Fantastic find, Runes...many thanks!!!

Pez -- bummer you're having this problem...all I can recommend is that you make sure you update your software (update your audio/video codecs, etc.). Best of luck!

[Lusitani]

I recommend Terry Jones' The Primitive Celts.

Absolutely...the best so far.

[Justiciar]

Terry Jones? :dizzy2: Man's good in drag, but as a historian? No ta'.

[runes]

the terry jones series is quite good, i'd assume that much of that information should come as no surprise to someone with a knowledge of history, but it's excellent for someone like me who only knows a few spotted details

(the part about the loss of the north african tax base is excellent!)

and thanks for the grats, i was looking for the rest of a documentary on Boudica, and i'm quite sure i googled "roman history" + documentary + streaming.

google has gotten so awesome.

[johnhughthom]

There's a Sabaean one too down the list - search 'Sheba' and you'll see it.
It was surprisingly informative, I was expecting to have to listen to a lot of info on the Queen of Sheba that I wasn't interested in and pick up a few wee tidbits about the actual Sabaeans but it went into a good bit of detail on them. I must admit though I don't see them as "the richest people on earth" in my campaign.:beam:

[mAIOR]

Hey.I just found a site with some podcasts on history. I still haven't heard them as I have no sound at the UNI but some appear interesting

Terry Jones? :dizzy2: Man's good in drag, but as a historian? No ta'.
He's just the narrator. The scripts are done by historians.

[pezhetairoi]

Heh. Too bad they don't have the Terry Jones Crusades documentary. I'd heard about that one.

[Thaatu]

Actually:


The Crusades
Ex-Monty Python member, Terry Jones, takes us through 200 years (1096 to 1270) of medieval history, explaining the Crusades and the religious conflicts of the era, using re-enactments and reconstructions. Each program is introduced by Roger Mudd. Series premiered June 5, 6, 7, 8, 1995 on the Arts and Entertainment Network.

thanks runes, some good stuff there.

now can anyone if it is possible to play eb in windowed form? then i can flip between the two.

[bovi]

Add -ne to your shortcut's target line.

[Danest]

Terry Jone's secret life of Rome was also something I enjoyed... it's about the life of the common people, which is cool,, because frankly, I'm getting sick of Cleopatra and Caesar over and over again. ;)

[KARTLOS]

Heh. Too bad they don't have the Terry Jones Crusades documentary. I'd heard about that one.

With a space in front of it, of course, like "RomeTW.exe -mod:eb -ne -nm"

Great blog!!! Thanks for the link, I owe countless hours of fun to you, but I offer balloons instead.:balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2: :balloon2:

Anyone see the "Decisive Battles" show? The one using the RTW engine...I thought it would be quite fun, but it turned out to be rather disappointing to me. Too bad they didn't wait and use EB.

Also seen Cicero's defense of Sextus Roscius--good but I thought it could have been better as well. Can't wait to see more.:egypt:

Yeh, I thought it was hilarious when it first aired. They said the show recreated battles using "state of the art gaming technology" rofl!

Maybe they should've used Europa Barbaroum instead of that craptacularly historically inaccurate RTW vanilla. But then again, the history channel is notorious for being unhistorical... :(

Btw, "Time Team"... Awesome. A must for anyone interested in archeology who hasn't taken part in it.

How did I miss this when it was first posted!?

Great thread!

Watched Britain BC last night. Intriguing information indeed, when it is information. But the guy has an agenda and bogs it down the watcher's throat with every chance, which sucks. :rtwno:
