good stuff

Roma Aeterna!!

Thank you for the clear and unhurried pronunciation from a person who is studying English)))

Sophistry.

Roman capris go pretty hard

the debate about the praetorians outfits based on the relief in the louvre is far from settled. If we think that relieft not realistic, we might as well discount all the legionnaries on the trajans columns, which are supposed to be realistic...

Such gorgeous kit. If only dramatic screen adaptations of the era paid attention...

As always amazing documentary, thank you so much for sharing!

Great episode! RIP Juan.

Credit where credit is due, amazing work on the historical uniform and armor lads

Thank you for your dedication to preserving Roman history in such a visual way! We're designing a Roman history PC game and wow has our design team been struggling with historical research.... these videos have been fantastic. Thank you!

I live in Detmold near the area where it happend.

Great video

Where do the shield designs come from

Is there any sources/scientific article regarding the use of nasal protection on the berkasovo type helmet, and its use in the infantry ? I've been told by some that it was only for Cavalry. Thanks !

What is confusing to me is that the Roman empire was mainly Germanic so i don't understand why they fought like this.

6:24 how do we know they used leather? Since leather doesn't really last that long

How were calvary men picked, were they still recruited from outside the empire or was there a domestic way of producing effective calvary?

35 KILOS of bread a month?! no way anyone eats that much. that is 1 kilo a day...

What they won't tell you on Wondrium, about the U.S. civil war: The guy who helped start it to control the U.S. with war debt, via war-bonds. We haven't been free, since. The exact same person? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judah_P._Benjamin en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathaniel_de_Rothschild

Interesting video, thank you. 25 years is a long time for service! What about the motive for the rebellion? There were only women and old men left in the villages. Did the conditions for recruitement change after the rebellion was settled?

Next video byzant army?

Love to see Late Romans tell me all about life in the Empire. My knowledge of this period is definitely at the surface level (more barbarians, mail and scale instead of segmentata, spears and lances instead of pilum, spatha instead of gladius). What are several great books to read to really learn? What are good "uniform" (I use that term loosely) and equipment books?

Can a Soldier or a Centurion become General?

Gods, I love the look of the transitional period, which was late antiquity/early medieval. It's an era that's so overlooked and understudied, especially as influential as it was later on in the High Medieval Period

The eyebrows were designed to crumple upon impact helping to ubsorb any blow to the head withthe hope of reducing concussions

The last roman soldiers clothes ?

Just a shame that you have not used the pronunciation of Batavians closer to that of the Dutch name Batavieren, Batavius or Batavia instead of the more American sounding accent - which would to many might be more appealing - still interesting story you tell!

May I say, good luck growing enough food for Winter :)

Loved the video, first time seeing a video on the Pugio, I've mostly only read about the weapon.

Thank you so much for the work you put into your videos I know you can't upload constantly but I prefer quality over quantity anyway. Just keep trying your best , love it! ❤

Imperium Romanum does excellent work.

diluting citizenship lead to their collapse

Where did you source your ivory handled one? It's a beautiful piece.

Hi, just wanted to drop by and say that this video is perfect for an informative zine I'm making about Roman coinage. Thank you so much for this! I also wanted to ask what additional sources could you refer for further research on this topic? Specifically how coins were used as propaganda in the Roman Empire and how they were used to push the idealized narratives and agendas of those who ordered their minting (emperors, etc.) Thanks!

Pork has a secondary purpose, pigs will convert scraps of just about anything organic back into meat thereby reducing waste.

This is excellent. You have my subscription. Keep up the good work!

love you guys

Apparently I saw this 10 months ago and had forgotten about it. Seeing it again was like a new experience. Consequently, I have enjoyed it all over again ! Thank you ! You've done a fine job in this production, with a LOT of information, along with good visuals and reenactments. 😊

Another excellent video, thank you! The reenactment really brings it to life. Looking forward to the next one 🙂

WOW

To be fair to Caesar, his initial experience with the Germans was repulsing a very large group of migrating Germans who would not have had much of a civilization while on the move. Correct me if I am wrong.

Roma Invicta! This video is impressive

Late to the party, but also want to say: glad to see you're still making content <3

Eagle was never retrieved, its specifically mentioned as staying in the hands of Germanic tribes.

The literal traduction of "dux" is "leader".

I am working on a St. George investigation. Now I am going with St. George being a 3rd Century CE Roman Anatolian Cataphractarii/Clibanarii from relatively humble background, say the equivalent of a lower middle-class, but was able to save up and work his way up to be a Cataphractarii/Clibanarii. Now I have the lancea mostly ready, just need to waterproof the stave somehow and put it all together. But that leads to the question I have. What would be the waterproofing of choice for a lancea given the parameters that I have set for myself. Now this can include paints but the palette will be somewhat limited given the parameters. Can't be purple and probably not even red.

Let them have their eagles, we still have our land unconquered.

Keep-up the good work!!! greetings from italy (Bononia)

As Ukrainian and I can't stop thinking about how history might have changed if the Roman Empire had not collapsed. Yes, I understand that during its formation there were many problems, there were many trials. There was conquest, there was slavery, there was social injustice, but over time, these characteristics changed And if they had continued to change, what would the Roman Empire have looked like? Perhaps it would have been similar to the United States of the Roman Empire or Roman Union for example. Just imagine how many wars and genocides might not have happened if the Roman Empire had remained. The Hundred Years' War, the conquest of the Arabs of North Africa, the conquest of the Ottoman Empire and the genocide that came with it, all of this might not have happened. The First and, accordingly, the Second World War would not have happened because the main participants of these wars were once part of the Roman Empire. Without the First and Second World Wars. How many people would have lived on the continent, how many scientists could have been born? How many ideas? How many scientific discoveries could have been made during this time? Even the current Russian-Ukrainian war would most likely not have happened, because there would have been one state of Kievan Rus with its capital in Kyiv and no Muscovy and no Russian Federation. I can easily imagine how in 1240 the Kyiv princes ask the Roman army to come to their aid in repelling the Mongol Invasion and the Roman army comes and helps Kievan Rus to repel the Mongols. Because in our history there were Crusades, but if the Roman Empire had remained there would have been no need for Crusades in the Middle East, but the spirit of the Crusades would still have been preserved, which could have helped to repel the capture of Kievan Rus by the Mongols. How advanced would our society be, what heights could it reach by 2024? Perhaps we would already be terraforming Mars and making exploratory flights to Alpha Centauri, rather than being in destructive wars
