epic

He only got 2 Legionary eagles back though.

True. I always invisioned him calling it out heroically in front of those who brought message of the defeat, like a promise of revenge.

I remember this line in Tw rome2. My pc too shitty back then that can bare run the benchmark. I has to take a lot of time to run the game

it's even more haunting if you realize it was Augustus doing it. Fucking Augustus. The man who calmly dismantled the senate right after his dad was killed for screwing with it

To me it was him not only feeling the loss to Rome and it's moral. But Augustus I feel genuinely cared for his men. He was no average ruler.

imo that makes to quote even cooler

I can second this recommendation. These books are fantastic

@@72Kraken Thank you both for reccomending these. If you have any more say.

I guess it would be season 2 ^^

And an Easter egg for the end of series would have little Caligula at Germanicus camp during the campaign

What show?!

@@TheSuperhoden the barbarians on netflix i think

Spoiler: the Barbarians win.

Good thing your wrong,everyone deserves good videos for free,if you want to pay then do that but dont force your misguided opinion on others.

@@mojewjewjew4420 true there are many less fortunate people who dont have money to spend on Internet.

@øranuto husband The Germanic tribes took the legions symbolic Eagle standards.

@øranuto husband 😂

@Daniel Deering 😂😂😂 lol

@øranuto husband lucky you, my family doesnt let me read anything except textbooks:(

@Daniel Deering It's also from a movie.

Also check out Germanicus by Lindsay Powell

@Doctor Detroit Tiberius was far too mediocre of a ruler to be Stalin.

thats why I prefer decimation.

Caesar was a genius, there was no luck in his tactical ability.

No, but in the outcome of *some* of his campagins/adventures there was.

@@johannesd5865 Napoleon valued a lucky general above all others.

@@johannesd5865 It's a funny thing how this hugely talented General and very experienced and disciplined soldiers got all this 'luck' 😏

@@patrickkelly6691 That's not what I said. Ceasar was a genius. Still, he found himself in some situations where he would have simply perished if not for some luck. This has to do with how he approached things, especially since he wasn't exactly risk-averse.

So this is spoilers for next season..

@@Nathan-yk5km Can you really call it spoilers when it's a historical event?

Is it any good?

@@BonJoviworstbandever it's pretty good It has great Latin

Is that a show? If so, what streaming service is it on? I recently watched viking, and it seems I can't get enough of ancient warfare (and yes, I realize vikings aren't ancient but whatever)

Check out kings and generals, its a great channel too and they have lots of roman videos.

I say we proclaim him Emperor!

@@Likexner i follow them . But i find their videos less attractive than the others. Historymarche and Hoc estbellum are really great by the way.

No one is talking about Historia Civilis

@@thepedrothethethe6151 Ah yes...The usurper!

For what reasons did she not let you read other comic books??

@@bryanquijanesortega3221 there was a lil thing called the comics code.

@wulpurgis 🖖

I mean Ceasar did want to invade Parthia but it was more for glory than revenge. Then again he was killed before he was able to do so

I think that Rome get her revenge for crassus with the campaigns of emperor heracleus against persians and sassanids. He pushed them to their capital end I hear that he take back the lost eagles of crassus. Correct me if I'm wrong or check it out for more info 's

Guys, he refuses to come out with his Part 3 to Caesar lives

@@captainmark4254 Actually Trajan did recover those eagles way earlier

@@bernardrednix756 But not because of Arminius and about 1000 years later...

@@bernardrednix756 Like every empire in History

@@bernardrednix756 500 years later for the Western and over 1000 years for the Eastern

@@VHS_NEON But because of the Germanics. And also not 1000 years later, but about 400. Unbeliveable that your comment received 6 likes. Romeaboos are really something else. An uneducated bunch hyped up by TV shows and such. The defeats suffered against Arminius greatly weakened Rome for centuries to come. That's why that defeat is regarded as the start of the downfall for Rome.

Just another tuesday in Rome.

They were smart & saw how important they were to Julius & Octavius. Still shocking though.

After the Marian reforms each governor basically had the power to become Emperor if he kept his legions happy. Kinda what led the crisis of the 3rd century eventually. This problem was never fixed. After Diocletian's reforms, each Magister Militum of a field army had the same power. Then im Heraclius' themata system, each Strategos had complete military and administrative control of his theme which emboldened him. And, since the thematic troops were all hardened veterans who would be the first to face any invasion, the old guard units of Constantinople were little match for them. To counter this, Constantine V created a central Tagmata field army directly in control of the Emperor which helped but if that army got destroyed, it was chaos abound like what happened after Manzikert in 1071.

@@thezeitos469 And with uncureable rotten morals.

Do we have any info of the next season ? Are they going to continue Arminius story ? Cover Germanicus ? Or focusing on other historical events and tribes ?

@@elasolezito---Beats me. But I would love it if we got to see both sides and what they do to prepare for what's coming next.

@@elasolezito well it would be pretty poor follow Arminius, we'll just follow a deranged man with no more allies.

They could switch to the revolt of boudicca in Britain. Maybe not next season as there's enough left to get a decent series out of but I wouldn't be surprised if the Barbarians in the 3rd Series are the tribes of Britain. This last series was around 9CE wasn't it and the Boudicca revolt was 60CE so.. 🤔

@@itarry4---I would love to see the series go over to Boudicca's revolt. And I hope it shows a few of her belief's too. I hear they're pretty dark.

Probably not, despite my wishes, he always had the tendency of starting a series and then dropping it, but I do hope that he eventually picks it back up.

Works, after a fashion.

Power doesn't corrupt, Power reveals. This is why emperors like Trajan and Antoninus never turned crazy despite their absolute power during the height of the Roman Empire

You have to remember that antiquity historians were not always truthful, and particulary Tacitus and Suetonius, alas the two main sources on the early Empire. Tacitus was a senator, who was noastlagic of the old days, so he hated Tiberius for being the Princeps and diminishing the power of the Senate (notably, during his exiles in Capri, away from Rome). And Suetonius was just a gossiper who wanted to tell all the most juicy details, reading Suetonius is like reading a tabloid XD Today, although historians are still debating of the pleasuures of Capri, the consensus seems to be that Tiberius, who was a shy modest man for most of his life, probably did not became a monster in that island, he just lived a more luxurious and pleasant life than before, and probably still had contacts with Rome. We think that because no other sources than Tacitus and Suetonius evoke the monstrosity of Tiberius, and we have a lot of sources, Strabo, Flavius Josephe, Senequius, Pline the young, etc... And also, just the behaviour of Tiberius, really a man who served well and was trusted of Augustus, then did a first half of reign (occulted by Tacitus of course) pretty good and in the steps of Augustus, that became a total mad monster just because he took some vacancies away from Rome? ^^'

@Kelvin Higgs Somewhat more cynical than I would put it, but close enough.

Also he was a never nude.

@Kelvin Higgs Sure, but something did happen.

Yeah, I think he also nailed "wenny, witty, wiki."

It does seem most people don't know history too well so today they think Rome got its ass handed to them and that was it. Happily ever after for the Barbarians. NOPE...........

I can get behind this, make such quality work accessible to everyone.

Dam... No wonder. I was wondering where all the captions went on Black Plasma Studio's videos.

The Romans always got what was coming to them, you can't deny that

@@greenkoopa yeah right, let's sum up almost 2k years of Roman history with a garbage platitude.

@@greenkoopa a disaster followed by a succesful punitive campaign stopped by Tiberius, if there's any savior of the german people, it would be Tiberius.

@@dr.manofculture1492 savior? more like executor

@@bojangles2492 sure. Let's sum up almost 2k years of history in the comment section of a 13 minute video. Civilization is like the tides man, history has proven this time and time again. They grow, innovate, expand, until they're too big to defend their borders anymore. Rome got tired from fighting, but the fight wasnt over. *WAR, WAR NEVER CHANGES*

Most of the bad things about Tiberius and Caligula is just propaganda written almost a century after their rule

Senatorial propaganda against Julius Caesar's heirs, the one they hated the most

Ugh.

Pants is what the barbarians wear afterall.

I still hope that some day tunicas would become fashion again. Pants are so uncomfortable.

@@LegioXXI I would say it depends in which climate zone you live.

Wonderful series!

@Marcelo Henrique Soares da Silva True, but let's say Emperors had to come from a specific _family_ rather than bloodline. At least then Emperors wouldn't need to get jealous at successful generals.

wulpurgis Thanks!

@wulpurgis why don't we find out?

@wulpurgis uhhhhhh -

@wulpurgis 🦁🦁🦁

Tell that to Parthia, cough, cough: battle of Carrhae... cough, cough: Three eagle standards lost!!! Rome never conquered Persia in the end completely, only the Western parts of it in Mesopotamia by Trajan's late life by 117 A.D = it only made Persia far more deadlier centuries later on as Sassanid Persia. Cough, cough: Hannibal = Carthage may have lost the war in the long run with Rome, but the romans never caught him in the end = he took his own life with poison many years later as he continued to fight them outside of his country before they could seize him! = no glory or triumph for their revenge, just fear + paranoia and rage over Carthage's eventful return. Cough, cough: The Picts of ancient Scotland = the Romans tried many times, yet failed to conquer them in the end... as it was one of their own versions of Vietnam, with no major resources to exploit or lands to settle for proper financial use, nor full on open battles to defeat them all. Even Germania here was never fully conquered, nor reconquered = Arminius never got captured nor killed by the romans in their revenge obsession, except his wife and unborn child being taken to Rome... only assassinated by his own allies + people, due to becoming too popular and powerful in the possibility that he might one day become king of all Germania. Sometimes you and other people can F*** with Rome back then and get away with it = only if you're smart enough and prepared enough to do so and over the many years in preparations to survive it all in the retaliations that come afterwards... you just need to cripple them from doing so and then you can do it... or you can wait to do it by the 3rd century crisis A.D onwards in being born = by then the tables were turning against Rome! After all: Rome's been F***ing with many other peoples in building up their empire for centuries even as a republic before-hand, pay back's a B****!!!

So you are a descendent of Varus?

@@molybdaen11 I think he’s tryna say he’s a descendant of Augustus

@@molybdaen11 if Varus had any children with descendants surviving to the present day, then yes, all Europeans have Varus among their ancestors. The native population of Europe has a unique ancestor point of around 1200 years.

@@YD39222 would that be direct female line only or just any line through one of Augustus' daughters? The latter is the most trivial and mundane claim, the former is extraordinary and I can't see how you would go around providing it.
