Great video as always Baz.

Glad to see you back Baz

blink twice if your family is being held hostage by shadow raid legends

well come back bro lovely voice to hear and listen

have some dignity with your sponsors please

He was my first Historical KZfaq Channel I ever checked out! Maybe 3 years now, I remember the series too Alexander's Campaign😁💯

Me too!!

@@Enward834 me three . He was my first history animated channel :)

I thought Raid was gone too lol

@@elpatronmamba2911 HistoriaCivilis was my first, BazBattles my second.

He must have blinked at least twice by now

@@freddythefrog9832 if he has blinked more than twice his family is fine.

I'd rather he takes the sponsorship every time than go another 8 months without an upload.

@@akiramasashi9317 this tbh

lol

Use your enemies against other enemies. #Foederatillionairegrindset

That's the name of the narrator?

@@TheZestyCar his name is in the description, and yes

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.

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

@@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.

i know right were da man gone

Come back baz, your videos are great!

@@Utubeluvaandhata m.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdufmJycyam5qGg.html

yeah we need baz

Miss these videos

So true!!!

I’m with you haha. I was so excited when I saw new videos :)

Kings and Generals is better

@@cheeminthao7819 Kings and Generals are good but Baz is better much better.

Can you recommend any other military history channels? I love Baz but sometimes need more to scratch that itch!

Two youtube historians who I enjoy greatly for their takes and ways of explaining the past :)

What ignorance.

Two from the very best.

@@rutabagasteu okay, no need to be an asshat

@@shoddyknight I wasn't replying to you.

Historia Civilis: Am I a joke to you?

Watch historia civilis. It will blow your mind.

Btw... love your username

@@jonathanho4272 Wow thank you for that.

@@jonathanho4272 Do you actually don't know the difference between a square and a rectangle?

Woah i wish my history teacher would show me this channel during the lessons. Your students are lucky to have you!

historymarche as well

I spit on simple history, they're a disgrace.

K&G used to be good. Now it's just throwing up names and dates without giving sources. Boring af

@@canaanite23 does bazbattles give sources?

@@canaanite23 idk if we're watching the same channel, K&G is just as good as it was before

In good news though, Emperor, you are no longer burdened with ruling this mess of an Empire. I'm going to do this for you from now on. You're welcome.

History march, Маховик Истории

Same

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.

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.

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.

@@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.

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

/tips hat Kind of you to say! But it certainly helps to have such great content to read.
