    10/10 video, the bit at the end about the people in the Western empire still thinking of themselves as "Roman" until a Roman emperor invaded them and caused mass devastation seems really profound, like if Justinian had just chilled or been more diplomatic about it then maybe the WRE tax system and state apparatus could have been stitched back together, but he blew it.
