@@hammurabii.3173 Indeed he did, but he was not able to reform the republic or establish a working system for distributing his power . Instead he installed his own system of the principate. Considering how long the republic functioned and produced a stable political system, this new system was unstable from the start. It put to much power in the hands of to few people and the wellfare of the state and people was to dependent on the wellfare of one person and his mental situation. Usurpatores and civil wars followed nearly each death of an Agustus with the climax in the 3rd century. It is a miralce that the empire did not collapse, and the reason for that was a relative well working civil administration until the point one emperor could end the civil war.

l doubt that this system was still in place at this time. the Western Roman army was mostly based on germanic foederaty that, after the end of their service, just decided they had enough of beeing pushed around by roman nobility and decided to crown their leader as rex italiea. otherwise "nothing" changed, as the civil administration was already in ashes an the western part was merely down to nothing. but you could go east ;)

Ablaikhan Bennett They were important military units that held up half of the Roman army so no I wouldn't say they would throw them at the enemy for no particular reason and they would try to conserve skilled veterans.

DJSbros Depends on the place and time period. You have to realise that being a roman soldier wasn't all about fighting. If you think about it: well, if everyone who joins the Romans is used as a cannon fodder and dies after a few years of service, who'd want to serve in the Auxillia? Also, great field battles with tens of thousands of soldiers fighting each other were really not as common as people might think. Of course, for the most part of Roman existence the Romans were in some war, but they comminted only a small part of their army to that. For example, emperor Traianus fought a long war in the territories of Dacia. But if you were just an ordinary gaulic member of Auxillia in Belgium, you could just spend majority of your military career building fortifications and watching over some farmers.

It's crazy to think that so long ago, there was an empire with an army that was more organized than some countries militaries are today. At its peak, they had almost half a million soldiers under their command and they were all under a strong and advanced command structure that we still (to an extent) use today. Absolutely insane to think about. No wonder they almost conquered the world, but as always corruption and greed will in the end bring down even the most powerful empires this world has ever seen... time and time again.

The roman thinking is obsolete, both tactics and thinking. They were done in a time where there were less than half a billion people on earth, so they focused on quality and homogeneus identity/culture. When the number of humans raised up, quantity overtook quality. As seen in the hords invasions throughout the world. So those writings are just for entertaining and catchy phrases to throw at a bar. Completely unreliable for modern life scenarios. Even the first one you mention, Plutarco, his writings come from recoveries done in the middle age, and most of his work has been lost but scholars mention his writings eventhough they do not exist or have been misstranslated.

Umm, I wouldn't play this in my classroom... 8 seconds into the video, there is a rather large historical mistake. in the pre-Marian reforms, a soldier *Would Buy His Own Equipment*, and the formations would be that of the *Manipular Legion System*. Which is, four lines of troops starting at the front: the velites, the hastati, the principes, and the triarii. These were divided by experience, with the younger soldiers at the front lines and the older soldiers near the back. In the post-Marian reforms (Gaius Marius in 107 BC), a Roman citizen *WOULD NOT* buy their own equipment. But the formations detailed in the video is a "passable" (but very simplified) explanation of how a post-Marian legion functioned and looked (a.k.a. Marius's mules).

Fair enough... though most history professors tend to have their lesson-plan teachable to avoid "argumentum verbosium" and/or hypostatization. But detailed enough to avoid the Homunculus fallacy (forcing the students to seek a "middle-man" of information for the "how", while the teacher only teaches the "what,where and when"). History is vast. In principle, it is concerned with everything that has ever happened. We can thus only ever approach it by reducing it in size, and condensing the events that we are interested in investigating. Knowing how far to do this is very, very tricky, and depends to a large extent on the level you are studying it. So scaling down the past is inevitable for us to be able to develop a successful understanding of history, but this process should not result (unless you’re under 10 years old) simplifying it, or imposing patterns where there are none. I am just stating that the author of this video committed a "historical fallacy", while in the author attempted to simplify the material, they mistakenly took two different facts from two different eras and combined them. Most people wouldn't know the "mistake" unless they had some knowledge in Roman history. As a student, you should be upset that the material overly-simplified to a point that it caused confusion. As a historian, I am upset that the material wasn't reviewed for mistakes prior to publication.

It's likely a linguistic hangover from the pre-Imperial days - much as the Hastati (Spearmen) of the late Roman Republic didn't use spears in battle. The name probably literally meant "First Spear", but probably meant "Leader of the First Column" to the Romans of the era. This is probably similar to the way modern armies still have "Fusiliers", "Lancers", and so on, despite the words referring to regiments which no longer use the weapons which lead to their names.

I believe that while post marian reform equipment was provided by the state, it was subtracted from the soldier's pay. That, or they could buy their armor cheap from veterans who were willing to sell for low prices.

I think there's a fundamental misunderstanding here. The Marian legionaries were expected to PAY for their own equipment. In contrast to the Polybian legionaries however, the equipment was SUPPLIED by the state. This meant that because each legion and each individual soldier was expected to hold a certain universal standard of quality, each individual could not be relied upon to buy or manufacture his own field gear. Thusly, ALL legionaires had (at least) a scutum, gladius, helmet, "boots", Pilum, dagger and Lorica Hamata. This was distinctly different to the Polybian legion which was not organised as an elite standing army in the same sense. These pre-marian soldiers would've actually went out and bought whatever armour they could afford. The poorest (those with the lightest armour) would've been Hastati (or sometimes even Velites), the more wealthy would've worn Hamata and be named Principes, even more heavily armoured were the Triarii, who formed the last line of defence. Those who could afford to own horses were the Equites ("knights"). To summarize; Yes, the marian legionaries were forced to PAY for their own equipment (it was detracted from their wage), but they were certainly outfitted by the quartermaster and not expected to bring their late father's ol´ helmet to camp with them when they arrived.

Actually this is only the interesting stuff you see here. That's why it is on KZbin. For real ancient history studying you need to speak at least latin but also ancient greek and maybe arcadian. Then you need to know every - and i mean every - price you had to pay to get in a certain position in the pilitical system of rome. Besides, the ancient history includes the greek, egypte and babylones too, just name some of them. If you are interested in history like this one in this kind of a video, you might prefer military history. But yes, try it. It is definitely interesting.

You know roman history has fascinated so many people that roman historiography and philology are pretty much complex fields of study themselves. Just think about all the writings from that period that survived until now. I suggest you to begin with some of the parallel biohraphies of Plutarch, Alexander and Cesar would be great, and then the Gallic wars by Cesar. Don't be afraid they're easy, and you will be captured by their mindset and vision of the world.

The video didn't make it clear whether they were talking about *pre or post-Marian reforms* to people who haven't studied history. Because of this, the author of this video made a *HUGE mistake*. If he was talking about the *pre-Marian* reforms *You Would* have to buy your own armor (usually a helmet and a shield w/ sword). Also in the pre-Marian reforms, you would have the *Manipular Legion System*, four lines of troops - divided by experience and age, youngest and least experience to the front. In the post-Marian reforms, a Roman citizen *Would NOT* buy their own armor and the "legions" would be organized as described in the video. Whoever made this video, confused the two different parts of Roman history and tried to teach nonsense....

I walked Hadrian's Wall by myself when I was 17, sleeping in a small tent wherever I could pitch it. Vindolanda museum was one of the only stops for hot food for many, many miles and I sat in the cafe by myself as it was so early and the kitchen staff made me a hot jacket potato early in the morning after walking in the rain for a few hours through muddy terrain. I stared out at the roman ruins, it was raining heavily and it is one of those moments I will never forget. I would recommend that walk to anyone. So much history, so many museums, extremely rugged, natural terrain for most of the journey, castles everywhere - you start walking along the mouth of a river, through Carlisle which has a big castle to visit, across waterfalls, through hills and woods. Beautiful.

He said it was the lowest form of the art, and that it was ineffective at trying to communicate scale and numbers, or that was overly reductive, I dont even fkn remember entirely because it was stupid.

The Roman Empire was so freakin vast and awesome. Too bad it crumbled from within because of politicians making these expert soldiers kill each other instead of other nation's troops. It's hard not to see the similarities right here in the US. Great empires tend to get destroyed from within it seems.

Senseless panic. When it comes to civil strife and conflict the US has been through much tougher periods in it's history, even if you exclude the civil war. Russia is useless and the CCP will face major crises in the next 50 years, leaving America once again as the sole world hegemon for the foreseeable future. The USA will conquer the stars.

Great vid, very concise. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Roman soldiers were NOT required to buy there own equipment after the Marian reforms of 107bc, when rome began maintaining a standing army.
