For the first time in Roman history, a plebeian of barbarian origin and a career soldier rose directly to the throne, breaking centuries of Roman tradition. Maximinus the Thracian came from a humble background and, according to historical records, was over 2 meters tall. Even starting from scratch as an ordinary soldier, Maximinus managed to reach the highest position in the empire, becoming a Roman emperor, something that had never happened before. But how did he manage to do that? That’s what we’re going to see in this video!

Was his height exaggarated? It is hard for me to believe he was higher then 7 feet, because higher people are exceptional rare and definitely unfit for a military service.
Conan the Barbarian?🤔
Meanwhile, that one black guy: black barbaric sand from black barbaric sand somewhere in arab black sand.
While I can understand why he did not understand the big picture. You would have thought that he would have at least understood logistics. Spending most of his adult life in the military. Even more strange is that he didn't seem to know himself or the army in the end.
In Japan 🇯🇵 a peasant ashigaru named toyotomi hideyoshi 😅also made it to the top but understand 😢it’s not a mighty empire like Rome 😂
It’s believed he had Acromegaly or Gigantism . You can see the tell tale signs in his busts and coin portraits.
Your the best
This was excellent.
