Honestly, I love the idea that this is the 9th, and I would love to see a series or movie about it, but I dont know if this story could be filmed and still come out as awesome as the written story
@JohnJBrowne11209 Yep that was the first "Romans in space" story I ever read. They eventually tried to take over the ship and then..... buy the book and see. : )
It depends on the density of the creatures. 200lbs of steel and 200lbs of feathers weigh the same. However, the feathers will take up more space because they are less dense.
Read the book a long time ago Parthians sold Marcus Licinius Crassus Legions to Aliens to wage wars for them all around the universe forgot the name of the book
I suspect in an even further distance future there will be some aliens with some "splainin to do Lucy". But at least they treated the dead of the victors with honor.

@@Elmithian eh I think if they stagnate that badly, there's no reason to go onto perpetuate an alien race for generations only to selectively and repeatedly stifle them. we could just put the effort into better things.
Ranks of bronze by David Drake or the High crusade by Poul Anderson. It more closely follows Ranks of Bronze. There was another one where the legionaries were rescued also. I don't mind the author's writing further into a book, but the sourse work should be credited
Ah yes,....Unreal Tournament. I have played this game since 1999 and ran it up an hour ago. Originally distributed on two floppy disks, my folder states it is 2.5 gigs in size. So many mods and skins and voice packs. And for a game made in 1999, it STILL has servers up for multiplayer!
If there ar continue story will be nice....explain how that modern world human will united rise up and destroy get revenge on those xeno who kidnap human roman legion...😂🤭🤭
It was 2000 years ago. After that long, the Xeno's who kidnapped the Romans might have socially evolved into a better society and are quite embarrassed by their own past sins. I mean, it was only a few hundred years ago when Britain and the Americas were stealing people from Africa as slaves. Would it be right for Africa to declare war on us now?
That's where i left that legion? They were supposed to have my back in a fight i set up back in my "eye for an eye days". Then i had kids and calmed down. I totally forgot i sent them to mars but had a thing i couldn't reschedule, and told them to just chill out and play FPSs and RTSs for a day or two. Sorry Biggus Skirtus, sorry Romulans, you cut rate Vulcans.
Grew boring around 11 minutes. Skipped to the end. That was boring too. I was hoping the too races in the last conflict would turn on the "gods". Oh well.

"Give them to Mars." I liked how that went. Ave Imperator, morituri te salutant. Or better yet, "Caesar si viveret ad remum dareris."

@@veramae4098 I tried from memory, excuse me for not remembering verbatim from a class more than five years ago.
oh yes looks like we know what happened to the ninth legion
Glad to see another history buff here.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Honestly, I love the idea that this is the 9th, and I would love to see a series or movie about it, but I dont know if this story could be filmed and still come out as awesome as the written story
Yeap. Was thinking the same.
@@theduke7539 I would suspect to do it justice much of it would have to be big budget CGI.

Humanity gods and monsters. This was a pretty awesome story
glad you enjoyed
So that's where the 9th Legion went
Ranks of Bronze, Foreign Legions
Ancient alien theorists thank both the narrator and the algorithm.
This is one of those tales that inspire by the end. Quite a good reminder to keep fighting.
For the SQUIRREL!
makes sense, Mars was the Roman god of war
This story line is asking for more - any would be authors out there?
Check out Ranks of Bronze by David Drake
@@JohnJBrowne11209 I believe David Weber did something similar, based on Drake's original stories. His used shiploads of Crusaders.
@@rogerrabbit80 English longbow men from Hundred Years War I believe

Hey there
There is no way that that number of insects and a elephant unit can have the same mass as a liegon
It depends on the density of the creatures.
200lbs of steel and 200lbs of feathers weigh the same. However, the feathers will take up more space because they are less dense.
Many insects are surprisingly light on mass for their size and function on earth.
I totally agreed with the story we need a t.v show of this story.

Sounds like a great plot for a manga!

That was Britain, but yeah.
