The Ninth Legion - ASMR History of Legio IX Hispana

The Ninth Legion (Legio IX Hispana, also sometimes called the "Lost Legion") had a long history. It served under command of Julius Caesar during the First Century BC, on the side of Octavian in the civil war against Mark Antony and Cleopatra, was sent to Spain, Germania, Pannonia and Britain. In Roman Britain, it fought rebellions, including the rebellion of Queen Boudica in which it narrowly avoided destruction.
But its trace gets lost in Northern England in the early Second Century AD, which is highly unusual for such an important unit at a time when the Roman Empire was in good shape overall. Was it destroyed in Britain by Celtic tribes, sent to the Netherlands, or did it disappear in a later conflict, in Judea or Cappadocia? In this story, we look at the hypothesis and the historical context, which is a good opportunity to explore what Roman legions were, the conquest of Roman Britain and other aspects of Roman history.

You are such a class act for not monetizing these videos, still, after years of building your audience. I hate how KZbin pairs bright, loud ads with ASMR content. Thank you so much for your art.

That's the most annoying shit ever. Starting to doze off then a loud commercial blasts through😢 why

[@paush51]

- KZbin Vanced or - Adblockers (soon no longer with chrome) I hear everyone complaining about youtube ads but havent seen a youtube ad since 2-3 years. Maybe Im a part of the problem, but then they just wants to make profits $$$. For dessert I present the Sponsor Block addon, which just skips sponsored segments in many videos :)

I have been happily, sleepily fighting that for years too! Another reason I’m excited for this new podcast/channel😊🤓👩🏻‍🏫📖📚🥱😴💤📻

First thought when I saw this video was honestly; "duh, the lost legion is locked in an everlasting battle to protect our dimension from aliens, behind a portal under an ancient hill in Scotland, do people not pay attention when Doctor Who is on?" I really love how all of your topics somehow touch on something I'm interested in, it's fascinating to learn from you. Congratulations on your new channel!

But like why does that actually sound reasonable though? lol, unaware of the Dr Who narrative but I but it sounds plausible & logical to me 😂😊

Honestly while it's ASMR I really come for both the history and the soothing and relaxing voice. What's weird if I never listen to you to sleep, but you have the perfect voice for me to listen to while I'm working as it just kind of calms me down and makes the work day much more relaxing. I'll definitely check out lights out library, sounds right up my alley as well.

[@patriciapoole2571]

The Ninth Legion mystery, known to lots of us from our childhood by the novel The Eagle of the Ninth, by Rosemary Sutcliff (and a movie I think w Joaquim Phoenix) has always been one of my favourite stories, so very happy that you’ve chosen to tell the story here. I so enjoy ur ASMR work, and always prefer to listen via youtube to watch the lovely calming videos that you make to go along with ur narration. I hope ur new channel is a success, I’ve just had a listen to a couple of videos, and commented; I really wish you well with it. Only …. don’t forget about us, will you? Part of what makes this channel so successful is exactly the things which you think might be off putting to a wider audience, your ‘dubious’ english (it really isn’t!) and ur accent. Combined with the range of interesting stories, they make the perfect ASMR; ur services are still greatly needed here, so don’t leave us behind, please. I did wonder why you haven’t included a link back to this channel? Might be an idea.
