4 hours of pure adrenaline! 🗡 From the Germanic warriors who haunted Roman legions to the disciplined Spartan soldiers and stealthy assassins - this is like history's ultimate showdown! Who else is imagining a face-off between these legends?I also have a history channel and I hope everyone can check it out and give me some feedback so I can improve myself.

All those dissing the Germanic Tribe are ignoring the historical facts. Like Arminius was assassinated by German nobles, and his brother remained loyal to Rome. Imagine if their leaders had united and got over their egos, the Romans would not have conquered those tribes. And as for being conquered, the Romans themselves were conquered because they could not unify too. And we should not lionise the Romans, because they first made many of the same mistakes we're making because we lionise them. We should strive to learn from their mistakes, like failing to evolve as a civilisation.

The Krypteia was not an elite force. It was a unit acting as the secret police. Their main objective was to gather information on helots displaying signs of strength and leadership and assassinate these individuals, to ensure no uprising amongst the helots was possible. So, their objective was to preserve the Spartan society, which was heavily relying on the helots as working force, since all their time was exclusively dedicated in the military field. Also, the 300 Spartans who took part in this battle were not necessary the best of the best, although of course, they were extremely skilled and determined soldiers, as all Spartans were. In fact, Leonidas selected mainly mature men, who already had sons, as to ensure their blood lines. He did that because this was regarded as a suicide mission, right from the start. The 300 were his personal guard, in the context of this particular mission. He was not allowed to take the main army with him, due to an ongoing religious festival. The Spartan customs prohibited initiating military expeditions during this particular religious festival. Of course, it can be argued that the religious festival and the customs were a good excuse for the Spartans to avoid helping the Athenians. Their preference was to battle in the Isthmus of Corinth, i.e. try to stop the Persians from entering the Peloponnese, after allowing Athens to be sacked. Having said all this, Leonidas achieved his objective. He delayed the Persians, giving the Athenians time to organise. All came to a head during the famous naval battle of Salamis, where the Greek fleet, headed by the Athenian navy, defeated the Persian fleet and virtually ended the Persian attempt to conquest Greece. As a result of this, the city of Sparta never came under serious thread.

I can't speak to the accuracy of the Germanic slingers but the Baleric slingers are legendary. Baleric islands are off the coast of, and under the Spanish crown. Historically the people there had olive trees and were famous for producing lots of eggs. Unsurprisingly one of the islands there is named Mahon, named after Mago of Barca and is considered the birthplace of Mayonnaise. Now, be it taking the cattle out to graze, or just letting the chickens out of the coop, such jobs were often left to the young boys in the community. These boys were often given a sling at a young age and expected to learn to use it to protect animals from birds of prey. Eventually they were also expected to hunt small game with the sling, such as rabbits and what not, to feed the family. According to one source these young men were denied their supper until they were proficient with their slings. Later, these young men could find employment as slingers in Carthaginian and later Roman armies. If you can hunt dinner with this thing, you can probably hit something 200 m away. The sling is devastating as a weapon. The main kit you need is a fellow with a strong arm, a leather thong, and stones, which literally is just ammo lying around on the ground, unlike say, arrows, which are a difficult thing to manufacture. Depending on how you deploy the men, they can obviously provide direct hits to the faces of enemy troops. They were also often deployed on elevations, and by chucking rocks from an angle, make the stone come down on top of the enemy's skull. The stone comes down very fast from such an angle and could punch through the top of a Roman helmet, and crack the enemy's skull. Later Roman auxiliary units were sometimes issued lead ammo, on which they may scratch words like "Catch!" which meant that you could add insult to injury. These slingers were also lightly armoured and kitted out, so they moved fast, and hurled stones at massed enemy formations, so you could compromise a little bit of accuracy to hit a group far away. At other times, during sieges you could easily hit an unfortunate enemy on top of a wall who wasn't paying attention. Either way, if the German slingers also had to use their slings to hunt dinner, I imagine that they'd be pretty darn deadly at 200 m with a sling. I'd definitely not want to be on the Roman side of that battle.

Love the narrator. But why does it have to be so many different ”experts”. Everything they have to say could be told by the narrator. So many documentaries do the same. It just interrupts the flow of the story telling. And usually they don’t add to the story anything that already been told by the narrator.
