I think Caesar’s military career began long before his Gallic conquest and I think you’re overselling his “near disaster” against the Helvetti.

Interesting, yes, logistics is everything! Can you make a video about what you mentioned about communication at 8.18? How it worked,, these couriers, rest stations and prioritization of message and confidentiality of the content. Have a good day!

Totally appreciate the effort you guys went to to collect the data. Im totally with you in most of what you were saying. However, the 3m spacing between legionaries i just don't see as effective. If the front rank in a battle line have to turn around exposing their backs to their opponents with a 3m spacing between their relief, whats to stop their enemies from simply cutting them down? Hence why i believe they still held the tight formations using a simgular smooth rotating maneuver with the fresh troops directly behind. Hard to explain im sorry. Apart from that little problem though, your assessment seems valid.

I love that someone’s finally addressing this. I want to add that most archaic hoplites tended to carry smaller shields than classical era hoplites, probably because of the scale of their conflicts and the lack of massed missile troops and true cavalry at the time. During the classical era, Italian hoplites changed in a different direction, trading the throwable spears for large bladed javelins and fighting at close range with their swords.

Dacia Part 3 !!

Super video! How was it put together?

rust weapon idea

The gladiator uprisings, aka servile wars in which Spartacus played a significant role, were put down with incredible cruelty. The unfortunate survivors were crucified. The life of a slave is not to be envied

Really well nuanced, believable examination of the fighting style. I think that sums up the battles of the times very well, personally.

Imagine trying to stick to a budget without being able to read, write or do math.

Not hard to live well when they enslaved so many.

My 3rd grade teacher gave me a golden crown for killing my math homework

I think our governments should fund LARPing on a huge scale for study. Let each huge army play it as serious as possible, but with Swiss referees to minimize fatalities.

is it true that when the ram touches the wall, all negotiation ceased?

I believe the medieval era combat strategies are better documented. As they used similar weapons we could extrapolate their tactics to ancient times with some confidence.

Probably the mistery of the Ninth legion's disappearance is simpler than we think given that more than a million english people descend from the latin romans in the direct male line

Hello HistoriaMilitum, 🤩, I would like to state that according to me, the column is not the largest edifice raised about the Dacians, maybe not even the fortress of Sarmizegetusa, but the triumphal arch of Constantine the Great erected after the battle of 312 on the Milvius bridge. Then and there the future fate of Christian teachings was decided. In the Ingressus scene when Constantine enters Rome, he is accompanied by the Dacian troops with their wolf banners, troops who fought against the Persians under Galerius, the Roman emperor of Dacian origin. I consider that the arch is an edifice that primarily celebrates their heroism on the Milvius bridge. Kudos to your entire team for the educational information..😘

Could you also do the the life of the centurions of caesar.

It was as it should’ve been, the youth leading, they had something to fight for, a future they would see for themselves, not like todays old geezers just trying to secure their pensions

I think Napoleon and his army also did this during the Marengo campaign in 1800.

Imagine a fight between Mucius Alius vs Georgius Foremanus

"Then I bid you vale"

Sounds like every town outside of US Army bases

War dogs were also used in the head of the army

Very well done. A lot of information in a small time slice. I didn't mind watching the obligatory commercial from beginning to end either

It should also be mentioned that typically lower-ranking soldiers were usually forbidden to marry during their service; the attitude of even the Roman Army being that if they wanted a soldier to have a wife, he'd have been ISSUED one. Still, the soldiers started out as young men, usually teenagers, when they enlisted, and did what soldiers traditionally have done throughout the ages. The Roman Army had its bordellos and "camp followers". Ranking officers like Centurions, OTOH, were usually from the upper class, and of course would marry, and as they usually lived well enough, could bring their families out with them. If a Roman enlisted man was able to survive the first ten or so years of service, in which it was quite possible he might not actually see a major campaign, but there were periods of constant warfare also, which "decimated" (not THE "Decimation" reputed to be employed as drastic punishment for rebellious or cowardly units) the ranks. As with any military, typically the proficient and/or LUCKY survived a few campaigns to become "old" soldiers, and typically by then had earned a few "stripes" (aside from the frequent floggings which was the Roman version of an "Article 15"). Especially if they remained in a certain town or province for some time, they often "shacked up" with a local woman, who became an de facto, if not strictly legal, wife. Far from being discouraged, this actually had several benefits for the Empire. Often men had enlisted in the Army because their prospects at home weren't all that great (is that not typical?), and certainly, other than keeping up with their kin, they had little reason to return...truly, a Roman soldier generally could never "go home", at least permanently. They often learned the local languages and customs, and often had business dealings with the locals as well. Also, there was an expectation that a Roman soldier would be compensated with land of his own to farm, and WHERE was this land going to come FROM? It only made sense that an aging soldier would transition to becoming a well-heeled member of the community somewhere on the Frontier, and help to spread Roman culture. Also, even retired soldiers did serve as reservists for some time; so the Army had a "ready reserve" of experienced, if not fully fit, men in times of emergency.

The crazy thing about the Dacian wars is that we have Trajan's column depicting what happened, but we have no idea what those images on the column actually mean

The clips showing romans marching and fighting come from a game, right? Which game is it?

A.I. narrated or just he just not know how to pronounce several words?

Invest in timeshare art... for a small 14:54 investment you can receive fantastic art pieces on loan to you for 2 weeks to show in your home.. works from Picasso, Rembrandt and others

Its all a shameful sham of rhe rich and arrogant... also..generals are all fake

"how did they actually look like?" ..no..its ..what did they actually look like? ..grammer

😍😍

Coursus Honorarium. The path an Equestrian or Senatorial class follows into Martial service. It started with individual Officer or tribune training at the Brundisium camps. This 'untrained' stuff is lazy nonsense.

We need this in 2024, but with a twist that focuses on mental health too (Meditation, gratitude ,contact with nature, relatipnships, etc). That way you have the best of both worlds, kind and educated men, but also fierce and unstoppable when they need to be

The total war rome game footage in the video made me laugh

Superb video. Answered so may of my questions on Roman military logistics.

👍

How many times men think about the Roman Empire: ? Well quite a lot

You can't compare ancient greek falanga to current riot police... Ancient Greeks soldiers were mostly literate and at least some of them believed in democracy.

1:18 Greeks famously lost Thermopylae 😂

This is the humanity I know

Stronghold music lol

Hang on, I know it's good info to show what kinds of secondary expenses one might have and be able to cover if needs be, but let's not forget those are *secondary* expenses. Theodorus is not breaking one sandal a week, for example. Looking at only primary expenses, he is generally left with roughly 50 denarii (about 1/3 of his weekly wages) to use as needed. I know it's visible in the video and whatnot, and overall it is excellent to examine this possible case, but you just kinda charged through that to add on imagined additional expenses before recognizing the money that he will be guaranteed not to have leeway with.

A great deal of time was spent building fortifications and trenches. For example, in a certain siege an inner and outer wall of 20 miles each was built, and included elaborate trenches and hazards. That is a lot of effort and work not involving any actual fighting.

One of the BEST video about Roman warfare. 👍👍👍🎉

We have the same kind of things in the US military. Enlistees take an oath to uphold and defend the constitution but give up many rights and protections under that same constitution and commit to the Uniform code of military justice.

I don't trust this as valid to be honest. Sources in next video please.
