Your work is most highly appreciated ,continue with the fascinating content !

It seems that us italians always favoured the thrust over the cut, as we can see that even in the middle ages italian longswords and arming swords were pointier and more tapered than german ones.

Really great presentation, superb illustrations! However, at 15:59 you indicate the sword illustrated is a longer Roman spatha-type used by their cavalry. However, I think it might be a Germanic/Viking-type ring sword? Can't wait to see to the pugio video!

Definitely liked your video. There is a book by Martina Sprague that covers both gladius and the spatha.

Fantastic video, thank you! One point of contention, however: you stated that "[the gladius] brought the people of the Mediterranean under Italian rule." This is incorrect - Romans considered themselves"Romans," not Italians, so the Mediterranean people were ruled by Romans. In fact, Italy as we know it didn't begin to resemble that statehood until the mid 18th century.

Well done.

Excellent talk. Well illustrated.

Another great video! Love the channel!

Great content. I like the detail youve provided.

You sure put a lot of work into this presentation. Well done. "challenging" can be a good thing. Thanks. I really enjoyed this.

Fascinating presentstion!

Thanks a lot for making and sharing these videoes. It`s a pleasure to watch.

Great video, but you got the manipulat formation the wrong way rund, the triarii, the oldest soldiers, was the last line and the hastati, the youngest, was the front, they even had a saying around it, "rem ad Triarios redisse", It has come to the Triarii, for when all else fails, you send in the Triarii Keep up the good work!

love these videos man, thank u

Great content 👌, heads are exploding as I reply. You make some great points and your research is very good. Thankyou very much for sharing..........😖💥

so many things wrong here. first 1500BC would be the late bronze age. then the order of battle was not Triarii in the front. Triarii were in the back hence the roman saying "it came down to the Triarii"

Amazing! Thank you for sharing

So, what in your opinion, is the best fighting knife? Thanks

You are trying to rewrite history, other then the pommel and guard you can clearly see that the Romans copied the celtiberian short sword. And not just after the Romans capture new Carthage.

Actually I prefer the slightly curved Macedonian Kopis. Just seems to be just as goo thrusting and a bit better slashing.

Excellent video! Thanks!

At 5: 22 I believe you got that backwards. The hastati were the front lines and the triarii were in the back. Good video though.

Bro I didn’t knew this new news! Interesting en quite logical arguments. Altho the part about the republic battle formation you got inverted, the traditional formation whas hastati , pricepese and the the triari as last line of battle. Methatron needs to see this video!😂

Excellent video! Very interesting. I'll be looking up those book too! The gladius, is my favorite word...

I'd like to get a working copy of the Spartan swords from 300.

This would be a great blade for self defence against an a wild animal.

Lovely. I got a custom gladius from Pier Paolo. I tried emailing you about that gladius but got non delivery notification. Beautiful room set up by the way.

The proper order of battle for the early to mid republic Roman battle line was hastati, principles then the triarii on the third line.

hi were both sides sharpen to an edge?

How far back in time are you willing to go? I think Acheulean hand axes are the most important knife in all history yet no knife channel talk about it.

😢o On

Shalom! I just found your channel and I am very impressed with your information of the Gladius. By the way, have you ever been told that you sound exactly like David Letterman?

dont you guys think the gladius was waisted because it was sharpened over time? i have kitchen knives so old they have a distinct shape...they must have started out as parallel sides but were sharpened over its life.

From Spain, they say? Could the name mean where it was used most at the time?

‘Unbeaten’ except they changed for the Spatha. So beaten by the spatha

I want one

Very nice sword ❤ the Gladius !

Try knuckle knives, have some.

Oricalcum?! That exists in the second aquaman movie but as another material.

Interested in the Gladius

Ok if the sword has gotten its name bc it was produced in spain, than that would however mean that it probaly was a spanish sword bc that would have been what the local smiths would have been skilled at. Other wise sombody else would have to train them first. now while that could have been the case i kind of doupt that, a sword is a sword after all, also how would they make quality roma swords if they are new to them?

Unbeatable

Puzzled, tactics defined the blade, who else used them, and the tactics? Greeks?

What about the radius?

Nice video but the Roman Empire and the Spatha lasted into the 1450s.

Cool.

Ive subscribed, the only error i heard was that the Hastati occupied the third line when it was the older, veteran Triarii that were there. Looking forward to more content, my brother!

LOL...Unbeattable....🤣 Anyway, @ 8:31- Do you really think it was that many Brits The Roman's would have fought in one battle as depicted in the painting.

You say that the romas allready used primaryly swords during the monacial area, do you have any sources to back that up? I mean i absolutly belive that they used them more than the greeks, hoever as far as we / i know hey did fight in shieldwall / phanalx like formations too, and those require spears. this brings me to the next point, you talk about how the romas fought in dense formations with 3 feet per man, this is false, the only sources we have polybious (and somebody else) states that each man has 3 feet, and 3 more to use his sword, so 6 feet. He further states that the troups need that space as otherwise they cant use thier weapons properly and will make a fool out of themselves. Further more there are Multiple accounts of this happen, like cesar at one point ordered his men to not stand so close together. there is also a logical aspect to this. A tight mass f swords men will allways lose to a tight mas of spear men, bc the spearmen in the back can support thier commerades in the front bc of thier reach, somthing swordsmen cant do. Polibious spesificly makes this clear. Now given that you seem to have gotten hat wrong, i really wanna know your sources, especialy as you know about the 3 feet to stand on, but not the 3 extra.

Thanks and cool office! God bless John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Ka-bar & Katana Please?

Dude the Roman gladius came from Spain

The roman only fought weakers city, villages, and trips. That is why they used short swords.

Iberian.. you could have just said celtic..
