[@jeanphillipe9698]

Hi, I'm the legionary with white shoulderpads (humeraliae) in the thumbnail. Glad you like it ! If you have any questions about the show feel free. I sling and am very interested in legionary fighting technique, so I'm happy to have been briefly featured on your channel ! :D

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

Awesome, I would love to chat with you. I feel like talking please find us on Facebook, the chat awaits :)

[@petrusinvictus3603]

We up North never had Roman, even the Vikings said, Blaa, let those tribes fight together. But Kalevala, is for Finnish. JRR.Tolkien read it and made Middle Earth!😉

[@OtaBengaBokongo]

[@petrusinvictus3603]

We will meet. For THE GLORY of ROME!😄😉🤔

[@suziq4394]

Will have to put that on my bucket list . Would love to see it oneday😊

[@gerardhogan3]

Greetings from Australia. I have been to beautiful Neme and stayed very close to there. We had several days there. We absolutely enjoyed it and met many nice French people there. Everything you said we learnt when in Neme. Thank you France for hosting us. You are great people.

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

France is indeed great! And those baguettes 🥖

NEMAUSUS (NIMES), fondata dai ROMANI; Roma il più grandioso e glorioso Impero della storia; Roma ha conquistato, dominato, costruito e CIVILIZZATO; la grandezza, la potenza, la magnificenza e la GLORIA DI ROMA EST AETERNA, ROMA INVICTA ET LUX MUNDI 💪🦅

[@petrusinvictus3603]

From Finland: We have allmost notthing to see, Helsinki, The Gibraltar of The Gulf of Finland. And being an Aussie youll love our drinking culture!

[@daless3526]

Rebuild the Circus Maximus and have glorious chariot races again like in Ben Hur.

[@petrusinvictus3603]

Circus Maximus was Chariots, Roman Colosseum. Other specs. Go google.

[@sebastienk9716]

In fact if they did that, it would very quickly be profitable through the tourism that it would generate. Same for all the temples and religious complexes in Greece. The Acropolis of Athens, Olympia, Delphi, The Acrocorinth, Dodona, Palace of Knossos etc. Everything must be rebuilt.

[@JackTagar]

Your dedication to history and preservation is admirable. Keep it up!

[@alessandrobana142]

[@paolorossi9180]

Salve! Good video,i like it.Greetings from Rome

[@anjodaharpa8757]

Impressive how intact it's the Amphitheater!

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

Indeed!

[@AloneComes]

your video was a masterclass in how to engage an audience! ‍

[@lamebubblesflysohigh]

I hope UFC makes a "no-cage" fight night here :) if yes I am booking a ticket

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

That would be epic!

[@ufc990]

Idk about the UFC but me and Andres will be fighting to first blood. Man thinks he can say my father reeks if elderberries and get away with it? Ha! HA! LAUGHABLE.

[@richardallday7387]

Very nice.

[@HerberDscrd]

Sick video

[@Cleeon]

Wow, thank you, let's the game begin😅

[@petrusinvictus3603]

WoW! Never heard the biggest Reancment was in France. Of course Latin language. Can I Enlist 2024 or next as a Centurio, I allready have helmet, glagius and chainmail! Testudo! Few know that: Tecumbre, was to brake. Latin: everyone for themselves, listen trmpets to fall back in cohesion. Keep up the magnificent work!

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

No idea mate. Sadly we do not have a contact to the organisers.

[@petrusinvictus3603]

Will take "Movie Magic" from us!

[@petrusinvictus3603]

I send expatores to find and Report! 😃

[@krystofcisar469]

looks cool. is that every year? Bit shame that there was lot of trailerpark vikings against those well reconstruted legionnaires but it has good atmosphere :)

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

The Roman Days of Nimes are a yearly event. From what we know for a few years now there were Roman Games organised. We hope the show will continue for a long time :)

[@kaloarepo288]

Do they have opera performances here like they do in the arena of Verona in Italy - especially spectacular operas set in ancient times like Aida and Nabucco?

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

No clue, sorry, best would be to check the Arena’s official website

[@wbbartlett]

Attic Intact. I'm sure I played that on the Spectrum. Ave Caesar!

[@Geek_Philosopher]

Where do you actually get such good replicas (armor, sword...)?

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

We will surly talk about it in our future videos :)

[@Geek_Philosopher]

@@ContuberniumSPQR Nice. I'm interested in ancient history, but I'm not familiar with the reenactment scene... Most of it is custom-made, isn't it?

[@Pyjamarama11]

Our family lost members during the Roman invasion of Gaul Its still a sensitive subject at weddings etc This video may be a little too soon

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

I am sorry to hear that, that was a cruel war. Whom did loose? If we assume an average generation length of 25 years, there would be approximately 84 generations between you and a relative from the 1st century BCE. They must have been close to you!

[@Pyjamarama11]

@@ContuberniumSPQR thank you for your kind words We lost two uncles on my maternal side Let's just say the family-line hasn't holidayed in Italy since

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

@@Pyjamarama11 Understandable! Stay safe and never cross the Rubicon, unless with an army of furious and vengeful Gauls.

[@AndresPerez-ei2lv]

What about the bullfights there? Why wasn't it mentioned? After all that's the closest modern descendant of the ancient games...

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

We just think that the bullfight are torture for the animals. Nothing worth mentioning.

[@AndresPerez-ei2lv]

@@ContuberniumSPQR So what the Romans did there to Gladiators/Slaves/Prisoners/other animals is worth mentioning and bullfighting isn't? Got it; that makes perfect sense.

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

@@AndresPerez-ei2lv The difference is that we live in a 21st century with a much greater understanding of the world. Talking about history is important so we would not commit the mistakes of our acestors, like hurting other living beings for our enjoyment.

[@AlessandroCorazzaCA]

@@AndresPerez-ei2lv are you under the impression that reenactors are tortured and killed during this festival?

[@IOANNIS-l7r]

DEUS ADIUTA ROMANIS

[@AnnamariaManganelli]

Anche la nostra arena di verona è intatta ed è usata per spettacoli ancora oggi comunque con il Colosseo non c'è pe Paragone

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

La Arena di Verona è molto bella anche. Grazie per il tuo commento.

[@Gniew_PGRu]

Jaka to część Asterixa? xD

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

Oby nie ostatnia, bo zajebisty ten Asterix :D

[@EykisCorporation]

Why a video is so dark?

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

I am still learning to make videos. Had a problem with proper colouring of this one. I will be greatfull for indulgence.

[@Tscharlieh]

Sadly the depiction of the German tribes are not as accurate as the depiction of the Romans…

[@flamingooaisis]

I hate the term CE

[@kaiserwilly4234]

A.D.

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

Why?

[@flamingooaisis]

@@ContuberniumSPQR why not AD, why change it?

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

@@flamingooaisis Because BC/AD is not a thing in our native language. It is just more natural to use BCE/CE. I sorry you hate it so much. Can you tell us why?

[@flamingooaisis]

@@ContuberniumSPQR what native language?

[@jimsullivanyoutube]

Too bad the color grading sucks

[@augeauge6227]

Wir verstehen kein einziges Wort das Deutsche Volk. Bitte auf Deutsch kommentieren.

[@marciacrews6116]

So built 90 AD to 130 AD .Got it. Don't want to offend the non Christians out there, do we? Nice show though.

[@ContuberniumSPQR]

Thanks! When it comes to BC/AD and CE/BCE we are using the later due to this being the norm in Polish (BCE: przed naszą erą & CE: naszej ery), which is out native language. This is simply is more natural for us. BC/AD is used only by Polish politicians who want to sound more enlightened.
