In the lower Danube was a civilization calls "dacian", from the "gets" tribes(not the "goths"), who cames back after Aurelian retreat from north carpathian mountain. Sorry foŕ my english, but i'm romanian, latin language speakers!! And i think i know better the history of my people!! It's posible some goths tribes to come in Dacia, but rulling this land?? It is possible to made a mistake, are u not historymarche???
@@gvn010 because no one wants to see Chinese battles or Chinese history. Chinese history is only interesting for Chinese people. No other group of people care about it.
Valens was a like a mini version of his brother Valentinian. Did alot of the same things as him, but admittedly with a much larger threat on his eastern & western frontiers. His major downfall was his pride & not waiting for any reinforcements. This disaster & the butterfly effects it caused for the next hundreds of years, makes Valens go from a pretty good Emperor, to a foolish & disastrous one. Which is unfortunate.

@@SinningsValor I don't like Kings and Generals anymore. they cover modern history now and have consistently provided an extremely biased view of the Russia/ Ukraine conflict. If you only watch Kings and Generals for updates on the conflict in Ukraine, then you will leave with the impression that Ukraine is dominating Russia. But in reality, Russia is gaining more and more territory every day. So it puts a really bad taste in my mouth how a channel known for their DECLARED unbiased takes on military conflicts pushing out pro-Ukrainian propaganda. I actually kind of want Ukraine to win, but i don't appreciate how there is no unbiased source of information for the Russia Ukraine conflict. Everyone is either biased in favor of Russia or biased in favor of Ukraine.
As a fan of Rome/Byzantium these kind of videos are hard to watch. I usually read about these disasters once and move on. However it's important to learn and analyze these battles and compare them. For instance it's important to note that after this battle Rome found it hard to regroup and make an effective resistance against invasions/raids like this one, while during punic wars they suffered much more disastrous defeats and still managed to comeback and win. It only shows the state the empire had fallen to.
There is a staggering 6 centuries between these to battles; roughly the time between today and the end of the medieval period. Evidently, very different societies. Where the vast majority of the army for the past 250 years no longer came from Italy. But instead , from Gaul and the East; demanding direct payments instead of spoils of war.
during the Punic Wars it was the Roman Republic. The Byzantine period was the Roman Empire. Very different animals. The loyalty of a "citizen" . . . . . . . .
About the episode at Marcianople: It is perhaps feasible that Fritigern used the opportunity to rid himself of his friend Alavivus with the aid of the Romans. The Romans eliminate a hostile leader and put a (hopefully) more friendly one in the throne, Fritigern sells the idea to the Romans that he'll be pliable later. Saying this mostly because it would not have been the first time a dual-rulership was ended in a conspiracy between one of the rulers and their enemies.
I LOVE your channel!!!! Been studying off your videos for years! They are a much appreciated relief from my daily routine! Thank you for providing us with such content!
I literally stopped what I was doing, BABE HISTORYMARCHE JUST DROPPED! (You had to know how over it had to be before we could be this back.) let me present the most gracious sacrifice to the Algorithm at your feast, to the most glorious Historian on TH-cam, the great, the mesmerizing, History Marche, conqueror of countless tales and our hearts. We love you HistoryMarche! Great way to start the new year 🔥
How much bloodshed could’ve been avoided if the Romans had simply treated the Goths (not to mention their own peasants) with respect and humanity. Instead of war, they could’ve had a valuable ally in the coming war against the Hunnic threat. Their own self-superiority led to catastrophe.
9:57 Insert Total War Attila throat singing here Great work as always, I never quite knew how the crossing of the Goths into the ERE went, so this was good learning for sure.
You guys & EpicHistoryTV are like neck-in-neck when it comes to phenomenal Historical videos. The way history & backgrounds to events are presented before the main event of the videos themselves are always spicy & lovely to watch. I can't wait for Lugdunum :D
You always get the worst kind of slaughter when both sides feel as though they have a legitimate grievance against the other… Humans are awesome, and we also suck, But this was a great video!
Happy new year, and keep your eyes peeled! 👀 I'm merging Hannibal 20 and 21 into a single project. It'll be roughly a 40-minute video. If all goes well, end of January to mid-February it will be ready. Beyond that I should have part of the team dedicated to Hannibal to speed up the episodes.
@@irdorath356 "frittieren" means "to deep fry". Etymology seems to be from French. And I never said that was the original meaning, just that it sounds funny.

You are like a history teacher to me and I appreciate your effort. Can you do a video about The Battle of Vaslui because I am from Romania and I love our history
Great video as usual, i hope you will cover the Battle of the Frigidus, which i think is the death point of the West, considering the utter destruction of west fieled army had to be filled up by even more foederati. Regarding Adrianople, it is interesting that it is mostly a self inflicted disaster, considering how badly the romans handled the situation
Its interesting to see the actual events that inspired the novel Legionary from Gordon Doherty. The novel takes a more personalized view from one of the legionaries on the ground on the events that lead up to this battle. Heartbreaking and tragic but good novel.
TH-cam history channels don't get much better than this. Kings and Generals and History gone Wilder are up there as well. I do like to try new channels, but they are mostly sub-par or just straight AI BS. What are some hidden gems i may not be aware of?
20:20 it's hard to imagine that local citizens, no matter how unsatisfied with government, just join some foreign barbarian army. It is posible only if they spoke the same language! Goths lived from both sides of Danube. It was an uprising, not an ocupation.
Yes, I'm merging parts 20 and 21 into one project. It should be done in a few weeks. Beyond that I'll have a part of my team dedicated to working on Hannibal to get episodes done faster.
Similarities Between the Battle of Adrianople (378) and the Russan Barbarian-----Multikultiurel Ottoman Empire War (1877-1878) The Battle of Adrianople (378) and the Russo-Turkish War (1877-1878) share several historical, geographical, and cultural similarities. Here are 10 points of comparison: --- 1. Invaders Coming from the North Adrianople: The Goths invaded from the north (modern-day Central and Eastern Europe) into Roman territories. Russo-Turkish War: The Russians launched their invasion from the north (north of the Black Sea and Eastern Europe) into Ottoman lands. --- 2. Blond, Blue-Eyed Invaders Goths: Historical descriptions often portray the Goths as having northern European traits, such as blond hair and blue eyes. Russians: The Russian army also consisted of soldiers with similar physical traits, being Slavic and northern European. --- 3. Large Armies of the Invaders Goths: The Goths fielded a numerically superior force that overwhelmed the Roman army. Russians: The Russian army outnumbered the Ottoman forces and entered the war with a technological and logistical advantage. --- 4. Region of Conflict: Balkans and Thrace Adrianople: The battle was fought in Thrace, with Adrianople (modern-day Edirne) as the focal point of the conflict. Russo-Turkish War: Much of the conflict also unfolded in the Balkans and Thrace, making the region a shared battleground. --- 5. Southern Defenders Romans: The Roman Empire represented a Mediterranean, southern European power defending against northern invaders. Ottomans: The Ottoman Empire similarly represented a southern, Mediterranean-oriented empire defending against northern forces. --- 6. Weakened Empires Romans: At the time of Adrianople, the Roman Empire was struggling with internal divisions and economic challenges. Ottomans: The Ottoman Empire during the Russo-Turkish War was similarly weakened by internal strife, economic difficulties, and modernization efforts. --- 7. Technological and Tactical Challenges Adrianople: The Goths’ mobile cavalry tactics proved superior to the traditional Roman infantry formations. Russo-Turkish War: The Russians had the upper hand with modern artillery and firearms, outmatching Ottoman forces. --- 8. Heavy Losses Adrianople: The Roman army suffered catastrophic losses, with much of the force annihilated in the battle. Russo-Turkish War: The Ottoman Empire faced significant territorial and military losses during this war. --- 9. Pivotal Outcomes Adrianople: This battle marked the beginning of the Roman Empire’s decline and the rise of barbarian kingdoms in Europe. Russo-Turkish War: This war weakened Ottoman control in the Balkans and increased Russian influence in the region. --- 10. Targeting the Capital Adrianople: The ultimate goal of the Goths was to threaten Constantinople (modern-day Istanbul), the capital of the Roman Empire. Russo-Turkish War: The Russians aimed to capture Istanbul, the heart of the Ottoman Empire. In both cases, the capital was under severe threat. --- Conclusion Both conflicts involved northern forces challenging southern empires in the Balkans and Thrace. Although separated by centuries and differing technologies, these wars show recurring patterns of strategic invasions and cultural clashes between the north and south.
I think something is missing at the end of the video, footnote #2 is missing at least one word and usually there are 3 footnotes. Anyway thank you for the great video.
Awesome I am pro Eastern Roman Empire and a big fan of this kind of material !! But seriously who where the Goths some Celtic guys? I would very much appreciate if someone would now about some video giving that information😁
Hadrian, Aurelian, or other skilled pagan emperors might have avoided Valens’ mistakes and increased their chances of winning the war. But the Goths’ superior numbers and agility on the battlefield still posed a serious threat to Rome. Rome’s victory would depend not only on the leader’s skill, but also on how well he could neutralize the Goths’ strategic advantage.
@@TomSeliman99 There is no magic in paganism, but there is no question of not praising the pagans. When we look at their successes in total, it is obvious. For example, Aurelian's empire was in pieces. He put it back together. Hannibal did serious damage, but Rome emerged stronger.
The very beginning of the end for Rome, and intelligent commander would have allied with the Goths to face a bigger threat in the Huns, but they didn't have a clue who the Huns were at that time.

The fact that Valens, a man who likely enjoyed feasts more than marching, was so effective . . . That's impressive.
Valens was a like a mini version of his brother Valentinian. Did alot of the same things as him, but admittedly with a much larger threat on his eastern & western frontiers. His major downfall was his pride & not waiting for any reinforcements. This disaster & the butterfly effects it caused for the next hundreds of years, makes Valens go from a pretty good Emperor, to a foolish & disastrous one. Which is unfortunate.
Well if he wasn't his ability to enjoy feasts would be threatened.

The name "Fritigern" is kinda funny name for me as a German.

"Gern" means "gladly"
So he "makes fries gladly".
