The story of Caesar's best Legion (Full History of the 10th, Pt.1)

[@majestichotwings6974]

julius caesar and his men really were larger than life characters, the history of the relationship between him and his legions could be a book in of itself.

[@HistoriaMilitum]

Agreed. I hope they at least make a movie! We could really use a quality Roman movie...

I didn't know that the 10th were Spaniards. It makes sense when I now think about it. The Romans adopted a great deal of lessons from their wars in Spain, including the Gladius, the short sword which would remain a Roman stable for several centuries. I guess I will have to read more about the Roman conquest of Spain.

[@Spartan265]

I just came across your channel today and I love it dude. It's just like you said in your first video. Many people don't talk about the units and men themselves who won the battle for Rome but rather Rome as a whole. Shedding light on the men themselves is just as much an important part of history as anything else. And the deeds they did do deserve to be remembered.

[@christianoraimondo1993]

I'm currently reading the book about this period and the conquest of Gaul. It's awesome how we can learn about things that happened 2,000 years ago in such detail.

Wonderful video! Caesar really was brilliant, both as a general and as a leader. He had keen insight into human nature and seemed to have a gift for motivating his men. Like Alexander he shared the hardships & dangers with his men or at least appeared to. He very often lead from the front, sword in hand.

[@jaimemontejano8201]

To be honest, spanish people as a whole have always been fabled for fighting, so to speak. When the Spanish Empire was in it's golden age, after a great victory over Francisco I ,King of France,was taken prisioner and taken to Madrid. When he got there, and the first thing he saw was small kids playing around with wooden swords, he said: " it is as if the country itself gives birth to armed men" (roughly translated from Spanish)

[@philmccracken7520]

You need to do Vid on XI Claudia ( the only Legion allowed to have Trident and dolphin and color blue on there shields- Given promission By J.Ceasar after battle of Alesia no other Legion was ever allowed to use anything but Eagle wings of Juipter and Lighting bolts). XI has the most Impressive war record of over 500 years Never defeated in battle station from Germania to Black sea , Romania, Judea, and invasion and defeat of Parthia and sack of its capital. And corrections in HBO Rome series Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo were of the XI Claudia not the 13th. Final Note as said only XI Claudia was allowed the color blue on shield and Symbols of Neptune due to fact Legion was raised Mainly by Sammities ( but not only). Who Were merged with Trojan survivors who also worship Neptune , Apollo and Diana ). Only the praetorian guard was allowed the Purple but they were not a Legion. Any thing showing Roman legions using any other color is not historical correct !

[@HistoriaMilitum]

Thank you so much for your comment! I am glad you're aware that the two protagonist centurions from HBO's Rome are actually from the 11th. I will definitely state that when I make a video about them, and the 11th is definitely on my list of top 10 of the most popular and effective. Your analysis of the shields is very intriguing, as I originally wanted to include a description in every video about how each Legion's shield looked. However, since only one "scutum" was ever found, this information is very hard to get, and much of my sources contradict each other in terms of their design. I would appreciate it greatly if you could list your sources, which I will definitely use for my future videos. Cheers!

The production quality of this documentary is amazing. The narrator. Production. The music. Oh the music. It works. And the size of these battles are of a scale that many do not realise. For example that battle between the Romans and the German King. The battle front was in excess of 4 miles wide. It would take a horse at full gallop over 3 minutes to run from one end to the other. On perfectly flat terrain. When you realise this. You then really appreciate the skill of the Roman's. Their Millitery Maxim, Command structure and their General Caesar. Thank you for making this.
