Maximus’s story shows us a heartbreaking truth about the ancient world. The life of a male concubine was a trap. He was stolen from one life groomed for another and cast aside when he was no longer young or useful. The worst part isn't just the hard work or the loneliness. The worst part is how the system tricks people with false hope and then erases them completely when they are done. His story is a quiet one there is no big battle or famous ending. His tragedy is that he was used up and then forgotten which is a fate that happened to countless people history never bothered to name.

Bro doesn't have a target audience. Bro targets his audience.

Basically, the ancient equivalent of human trafficking children for the wealthy elites. Nothing has changed.

i see things among the so called elites haven't changed

This video misrepresents the Scythians. They were not poor wanderers who had never seen gold. Scythian were extremely wealthy, famous for their goldwork, and they controlled major trade routes. They traveled in large tribal groups, not small bands with a few wagons. Simply put, even for Greek armies the Scythians were an extremely hard target. Scythians in slavery were very rare, just as Greeks were rarely enslaved by Scythians. They were highly warlike and feared. The Amazons are a representation of Scythian women warriors.

Anything that ends with the word concubine, it usually goes very bad for those individuals in most of humans history

I love the irony that the languages the invaders speak sounds like "bar bar buh bar bar" because that's how the Greeks mocked languages they didn't understand and where the word Barbarian comes from.

"He's tired in a way that sleep doesn't fix." Ho boy, do I related to this.

Humanity is horrific

14:50 I really doubt this would be a surprise. No one would be spending time trying to protect a slave's childhood innocence. And it would be dangerous to have it be a surprise. Since this was all normalized, no one would even feel a need to hide it. I'm not even sure the masters would view it as bad or shameful.

Diddy been a menace since ancient times 😂😂😂

Man as far as I can tell it sucks to be a concubine anywhere.

If anyone is wondering - yes it was worse than this, but the video would have been demonetized if they included all the details.
