[@supersvane]

A lot of the other history channels don't understand just how important a good narrator is. I enjoy Dan's voice and tone more than any of the others, even Kings & Generals doesn't have as good a narrator imho.

[@S3rjiu]

@@supersvane Devin is also very good, man. Invicta does not hire a professional narrator and you can feel it.

[@supersvane]

@@S3rjiu I'm not sure if I misunderstand you. But I didn't imply that the Kings & Generals narrator wasn't good. Just that its a much bigger channel and yet I feel like Dan is better. I don't watch Invicta for that very reason.

[@VaterAyotte]

Glad to see you folks back. I'm dying to know though. For a battle like this - Circa 300 and 400 AD - how do you research this, and how reliable are the recounts and/or data? I'm not doubting you, I'm fascinated!

[@DeutscherDummer]

I can answer this question in regard to two of the sources. Orosius does not describe this battle at all, only the capture and death of Maximus at Aquileia. In fact, he claims the opposite, that the army of Theodosius pretty much went unnoticed until they had crossed the Alps, though that should be taken with a grain of salt. He is very much idealizing Theodosius as a great christian emperor. Zosimus brings up some sort of ambush against troops of Maximus without further details. Otherwise, I know of a Panegyric written to praise Theodosius which might mention this battle, but I have not read it. Due to the nature of its form, I suspect it would lack details or very much exaggerate them. Unfortunately Ammianus stops his account at the battle of Adrianople, his very detailed accounts are unique in the 4th century. Honestly, I doubt much can be said with any certainty on this battle (and quite a few others at this time), I do not know what later researches might have found outside these literary sources. That's why Baz gives so little details on the battle, mostly some context and then general descriptions with colorful language of things involved in pretty much any battle. The focus is more on entertainment and evoking interest, which he does great.

[@Ignasi666]

Many or even most classical historians tend to write about events that happened centuries before they were even born (I am looking at you, Titus Livius), so it is highly unlikely that the information presented here is 100% accurate, or even 50% accurate. Even when writing about contemporary events, period historians (or any historians, really) rarely go into detailed descriptions of troop movements on the battlefield. Battles are usually mentioned in passing or given an general overview. Best case scenario, we get the names of the officers and perhaps a slightly more detailed description of the decisive moments, but that's it. In fact, in most cases we don't even know where the battle was actually fought until someone starts digging and recovering archeological clues. Basically, many of the things we "know" about classical or medieval military history are mostly down to the power of deduction. BazBattles and other similar channels are very entertaining (I personnally enjoy them very much), and they get the general history surrounding the battle mostly right, but I wouldn't take the battle descriptions themselves at face value.

[@lukaruter]

Yes, there is a lack of sources on this particular battle, in fact some historians even put it in the Vipava valley which makes a little more sense as there was a major road to rome in the valley. Emona and Sava were out of the way for Theodosius troops. There even is a legend about the Bora wind frequent in the Vipava valley giving Theodosius soldiers some advantage over their foes.

[@DeutscherDummer]

@@lukaruter You might be confusing the legend about the wind with the battle of the Frigidus, nowadays taken to be the Vipava river. That's where a ("divine") storm supposedly helped Theodosius against Eugenius and Arbogast.

[@lukaruter]

@@DeutscherDummer You are absolutely right, ist a mistake, the Goth vanguard got me on this one.
