I mean, they have a certain type of armour that they used for a very long time, not the bloody segmented one though. It was a type of helmet rather, and there is the chainmail which continually evolved and outlasted the shortlived but iconic segmentata.

It's even worse, sometimes they use entirely fictional armours, sometimes those fictional armours aren't even shown in the period they were *allegedly* used in, like with HBO's vikings where in one of the promo shots for a new season we see byzantine officers dressed in leather musculata. I guarantee they know how ridiculous this is, but they don't expect their viewer base to know they're dealing with the remaining eastern half of the Empire unless they give them leather muscle armour, and those silly parade helmets that someone saw on Trajan's column (on very flamboyantly dressed praetorians who's kit is all wrong anyways) and decided that every Roman officer must have worn that exact helmet.

Why not 1204 (the sack of Constantinople by the crusaders, and the start of the new "Latin" Empire)? If the Nicaeans (who conquered Constantinople from the Franks and "restored" the Eastern Roman Empire) can be considered as the legit continuation of the Roman state, why don't we consider the Usman/Ottoman as legit continuation as well? After all they (the Ottomans) also claim the Roman title. If you think Orthodox Christianity as the prerequisite, then Muscovy's/Russian claim as the 3rd Rome should be valid. Therefore I argue that Roman Empire lasted till 1917. IMO the definitive "Roman empire" is the one in Italy, with Italian culture. It fell in 476 AD (or in 480 AD when the rump Roman state finally annexed into Odoacer's Germanic "Italian kingdom"). IMO Eastern Roman Empire was *a* Roman Empire, but *NOT* THE Roman Empire, just like Latin Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Seljuk (Rum/Roman) Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Russian Empire. They are all a Roman empire, but NOT the Roman empire.

Legionaries are what most people think of and I'm pretty sure was the largest troop composition across its long existence. The classic roman soldier is a legionary with the spear that they usually throw during battle and an assyrian blade at thier hilt with the classic armor and concave square shield.

[@2opjimmy]

Early republician hastai, princepii, and triarii were spearmen, hoplite (in janked way) before they encountered the samnites of Latium and magna gracia. Then they adopted and utilized the Samnites as a forward line in front of the Roman hasati. Since the swordsmen at the time were able to weaken the other italian tribes at the time. Then through cultural exchange, the samnites and Roman Hasati kinda became one. (Which is why the samnites were so pissed by the time right before Julius Caesar. The samnites literally fought as romans for nearly 300 years and still didnt have full rights in the Roman Empire until 70s bc.)

It could be worse. Because of „300”, there are really people there who thought that Spartans went into battle with all they vital organs exposed.

[@Yoo-Kang]

Really shows how much tv shows and movies can influence a large crowd of the general audience..

[@eventuel4987]

Hastatus from the First Republic look dope as hell

[@mikegadsden55]

They're essentially hoplite 2.0

[@murphy7801]

Republic is always better

[@thesolidsalamander6527]

Triarii should be using a spear, GOT IM

[@LegioPrimaItalica]

They also could use swords! 💪🏻⚔️

[@xSoulhunterDKx]

They used both sword and spear just like most hoplites did. Also makes sense you got backup. Spears can get damaged or break. That’s most cav units also got multiple weapons, or javelinmen

[@yungbludboi]

​@@xSoulhunterDKxthey were spearmen, end of.

[@xSoulhunterDKx]

@@yungbludboi never said they werent lmao

[@TheAlgorath]

​@@LegioPrimaItalicaEarly Republic Triarii would have a spear as tall and half again a man, or 7-8 feet just like the Hoplite.

"This movie is set during the time of the Roman Republic" Late-Empire Legionarries testudo into frame

[@Danymok]

The mid republic princeps guy looks like he could actually be a soldier from that time period

[@davitdavid7165]

Man, the idle animations are so realistic!

[@LegioPrimaItalica]

Ahahah thanks bro! We will soon release more factions! Follow us to see them⚔️💪🏻

[@IjonCichyPL]

Hey, does anyone know what music is this?

[@rosanegro]

music is: Warhawk, by Kevin Graham

[@zippolighter4903]

​@@rosanegroThis definitely sounds like a different version of Warhawk. A bit slower

[@felipebustosponce94]

Thanks for putting your gladius in the right side

[@lynkrig5635]

Centurio - Late Republic blew the whole budget on the helmet

[@yammt3148]

Thank you for doing this. Early Roman armor is fascinating to look at. It's a shame we don't see more historical variety in media.

[@falaramal3979]

Finally someone who understands history

[@VexingWeeb]

This is absolutely epic, one of my favorite shorts of the year so far (with the music is crazy too) Really like the princeps first republic one , the guy kinda looks hella immersed . Like his facial expression kinda looks like scared and who wouldn’t be scared in battle? (No offense of course )

[@thomas_walker]

correct. the iconic segmented cuirass and rectangular shield were stylized in and after the post-marian era after the reforms

[@danielhess1082]

Thank you for the illustration, it's a treat to see the evolution of arms and equipment

[@problemletstalknoletschat2288]

Imagine getting beat by a Legionary with a STICK!!

[@jacktraister7853]

Late republic remains peak drip

[@derekcook8358]

The success of this video further encourages me to seek out people interested in making games that can be used for education about world history, humanities, sociology, and economics. This is clearly fascinating stuff for a significant audience.

[@thelewis2898]

The Kukhuri shaped sword (which I believe is called "Falcata") is such a cool looking blade, I'd love to own one.

[@jeffmercury4270]

I think that's a kopis. Falcata was an Iberian celt sword Carthage adopted then Rome adopted. Kopis was a Greek sword Rome adopted. Romans just called them all machara. Kopis has a slighter curve, falcata more of a corner but also didn't get a great look at it and they can be pretty similar. I just assume that mid Republic (when they were fighting Carthage during which they just conquered Spain) theyre probably not as likely to have adopted the falcata as the kopis. But the fullers on it make it seem like maybe it is a falcata Both are cool as hell and I agree I'd totally love one

[@GaiusCaligula234]

Just buy it then

[@madswipe4419]

The triarii of the early republic where basically just suped up land owners (for those of you wondering why this is important, it’s because pre Marian reforms, in order to be in the military you needed three things, to be a citizen of Rome, to own land as proof you can afford the equipment, and lastly to buy your own gear, yeah up until the Marian reforms you where expected to provide your own equipment, this is why early Roman armies didn’t look uniform with their late Republic Marian reform counterparts) with combat experience, they made the veterans of the Roman military at the time and it’s document that triarii still acted as a spear infantry type trooper with a thrusting sword backup and they continued to perform like hoplites. The showing for the early army would better be named as principes, as these where still decently armoured semi veteran soldiers who didn’t use spears after the early reformations of the military due to the Samnite war, unlike hastati and principes, triarii never stopped using the spear. Rest is very accurate, very nice, never understood why in movies they always show the late Republic Marian reform legionaries and not any other version.

[@phialich1898]

They feel like they're the same unit with different skins

[@BulkBrogan.]

People of the past are always so much more colorful and more patterns than popular media represents
