'''The Unbiased History of Rome''' is a web animation series by [=DovahHatty=] started on May 22, 2019. In spite of the name, it actually is blatantly biased towards the Romans for laughs, sometimes even reinterpreting entire events in their favor as he covers their history from mythological beginnings in Troy, to the times of the Republic, to the empire onwards. The entire series can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EOzr15h8S8&list=PLp5VE4P1YBhe0WnxTfwM88ZfFzuytXOJa here]].

They have also been used for their Trojan forebears, the inhabitants of Alba Longa and an occasional non-Roman can be a Chad too, including such as Hannibal (as the gods felt the Romans needed a challenge after the first Punic War) and pro-Roman Josephus (a Jewish historian Josephus[[/note]]. The corrupt who favored the empire and weak-willed Romans, plus some became a citizen).
** Wojaks are used to represent the plebs and an occasional leader. They have also been used to fill in for various
non-Romans, often with varying attributes such as an [[SlasherSmile evil grin]] for the G*rms. Groups such as the Samnites and (initially) the Gauls are the corrupted variants thereof.
** Virgins are used to represent weak-willed/disloyal military men and senators on the Roman side, as well as some unflattering rulers. Among non-Romans, they fill in for the various Greekoids.
** Grugs are used for the less-civilized Barbarians, especially early on when the Greeks
were portrayed as Virgins. Some more dignified non-Chads, or otherwise just normal plebs, were still portrayed as Wojaks. Effeminate men that sexually service the Patricians are portrayed similarly to women. The exception to in this manner before becoming Virgins.

** All women have a similar template to work with, although in this case they are also used for the twinks for [[ManlyGay certain Patricians]].


Added DiffLines:

** When the Romans came to collect their inheritance from the late king of the Icini tribe, they were disgusted with how polluted the gene pool was. When they were present, they saw the Briton inhabitants cosplaying as [[Series/GameOfThrones House Stark]].


Added DiffLines:

* TakeThat:
** Plenty of barbs were made towards communism throughout the series. In the very first video, where the Trojans figured out economics among other issues, they surmised that it works when they use magic, and even then it's still worse than capitalism.
** When Sulla had come to a realization that the plebs were dragging down the republic, compounding the existing problems they have with the G*rms and Greekoids, there is a take that directed towards /pol/:
--> '''DH''': Sulla forced himself to [[RedPillBluePill swallow that bitter red pill]]. The truth was that the Jews were behind everything- Uh, uh no wait, wrong redpill! [''Sulla turns away from the "/pol/tard pills", and towards the /his/torian pills''[[note]]in itself, there is a take that within it. ">H >R >E" refers to questioning the notion that the Holy Roman Empire was any of these[[/note]]] Ah, ah yes, here! Alright, so the truth was that the Republic would soon fall if things kept going the way they were.\\

* FatBastard:
** Tarquinius Superbus' son Sextus was portrayed as one, and his rape of Lucretia proved to be the last straw that angered Romans enough to overthrow the monarchy and start the Republic.
** In the Year of Four Emperors, Vitellius was a fat, lazy guardsman who spent a great deal of his post eating and partying at great expense. He convinced his colleagues to rebel against Galba, and had an army sent southward by the time Galba was replaced by Otho. After the latter committed suicide, [[AdiposeRex he proclaimed himself emperor]], planning to rape Sporus in a brutal gladiatorial display before the latter committed suicide to deny this. Many Eastern governors were disgusted with the idea of a him being Emperor and spending a lot of money to feed his gluttony, and eventually he was beheaded and thrown into the Tiber River, making way for Vespacian.


Added DiffLines:

* ManlyGay: Quite a few Patricians were rather fond of their twinks. In regards to the Emperors, Nero stayed loyal to the castrated servant Sporus, and Hadrian was portrayed as fucking many twinks. His favorite twink Antinous was distraught thinking he'd lose Hadrian to a woman (though Hadrian detested them), and committed suicide during a fishing trip. This sent the Emperor into deep sorrow that culminated eventually to the brutal suppression of Judea.

'''The Unbiased History of Rome''' is a web animation series by Dovahhatty, where in spite of the name, it actually is blatantly biased towards the Romans for laughs, sometimes even reinterpreting entire events in their favor as he covers their history from mythological beginnings in Troy, to the times of the Republic, to the empire onwards. The entire series can be viewed [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9EOzr15h8S8&list=PLp5VE4P1YBhe0WnxTfwM88ZfFzuytXOJa here]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Invoked and PlayedForLaughs. For example, Caligula's descent to madness was interpreted as him having an epiphany that he's a god, and even went as far as to fight Neptune on the English Channel in order to allow Claudius to invade Britain after succeeding him.
* AuthorAvatar: Dovahhatty is portrayed in the video as an overlord-type character clad entirely in purple.
* BaitAndSwitch: To begin the Punic Wars:
--> '''Dovahhatty''': Today, we'll discuss one of the worst barbarian races ever to plague the earth, a group of merchants who migrated across the Levant many years ago, [''a silhouette appears to give the appearance of the Happy Merchant''] deceitfully manipulating others to further their greedy interests. You know what I'm talking about. [''the silhouette reveals itself as two Punics making poses to appear like the silhouette''] Punics!
* CensoredForComedy: The more degenerate groups were given this treatment, including the G*uls, Etr*scans and especially the G*rms[[note]]Germans[[/note]]
* {{Dehumanization}}: Many groups who are not Roman were portrayed as degenerates, sometimes even borderline Neanderthalic, to a degree that the more dignified non-Romans were still portrayed as Virgins and an occasional Wojak (especially when they're Romanized like the Gauls).
* DistinctiveAppearances: For the Romans themselves, the Trojan-descended, as well as several rulers and elite soldiers, were portrayed as [[MemeticMutation Chads]][[note]]An occasional non-Roman can be a Chad too, including Hannibal and pro-Roman Jewish historian Josephus[[/note]]. The corrupt and weak-willed Romans, plus some non-Romans, were portrayed as Virgins. Some more dignified non-Chads, or otherwise just normal Romanized people, were still portrayed as Wojaks.
* ItsPronouncedTropay: Often opts to use the classical Latin pronunciations for characters, but sometimes even throws a bone to the popular pronunciations like that of Julius Caesar or Markus Antonius (Mark Anthony).
* MindControlEyes: Mark Anthony's eyes become yellow when falling under the mind control of Cleopatra, who uses the romancing of Roman Chads like Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony as a means for her sorcery.
* NonIndicativeName: It is comedically blatantly biased towards the Romans.
* PyrrhicVictory: Inevitably brought up in The Conquest of Italy, where Epirus would wind up close to losing on more than one occasion, that he only won because he utilized his twenty Indian war elephants. It was getting to the point where he would curse his "victories".
* ShoutOut: The scenery in certain parts of videos often would utilize the use of VideoGame/{{Minecraft}} and [[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsVSkyrim Skyrim]].
