We should all thank the historia civillis for his work representing roman legions as rectangles and spreading roman history to us who did know nothing about how great and rich it is. Also i love how this/your channel is going and growing. Your determination and work to tell the story behind every legend is fantastic. You are doing a great work here. Good luck.
There should be a TV show for that legion. 400 years can't be covered in a movie. They could literally do a season for every 25 years or major campaign or even battle they were involved in.
HBO should reignite their Roman history buffs after they cancelled Rome back in the 2000s. Imagine if they used the same funding as GoT, we’d have a new binge worthy show
@@cjtdup5395Yeah just like Games of Thrones where they constantly cut corners and removed multiple battles and duels from the books so the show would be cheaper to produce and their profits would be higher ☠️ So tired of the delusional people who refuse to acknowledge that HBO is literally known for cutting corners and doing the bare minimum. Just like they’re doing with House of the Dragon now by rushing through the story and even blatantly changing it to make it cheaper to produce. HBO should never be the standard, it’s like you people forget why they cancelled Rome. Because that company is known for refusing to invest a significant budget in to a project. They’d rather cut corners and profit anyhow off a popular title. Similar to Disney with Marvel in the last 5 years.
@@cjtdup5395 If HBO made a Hannibal series, the battle of Carrhae would be reduced to a 10 second cut scene where we see one side charging in to battle and suddenly it’s a black screen followed by characters talking about who won the battle. Just like HBO’s non existent “battle of the whispering wood” and “battle of the Greek fork” from game of thrones.
I knew that one of Caesar legions was destroyed in Gaul. But I never make the conection that it was the SAME LEGION that crushed Boudica. Amazing how they change their fate.
I watch a lot of history video's on yt, but you really got your own thing going on. This will be a major channel if you keep uploading regularly. Hope you invest more time in this!
Great video. One can really imagine the terror the newly reraised 14th legion must have felt walking into that camp finding the corpses of their predecessors who had committed suicide.
I recently started playing rome 2 again and thanks to this channel and a couple others teaching me about Roman history I have found a deeper more historical love in the game. I appreciate their tactics more and their ability to be an effective army
Keep up the good work! I was wondering if you consider investigating notable centurions or warriors that stood out in the legions such as major feats, accomplishments or reputation (positive or negative)
Your videos are the best on Rome and describe interesting subjects schools often telll boringly while you cram as much information as possible while keeping it entertaining and also making wide ranges of great videos
Awesome video! I notice how shame could be a strong morale booster in those times! As soldiers of Rome, they should have known better than routing and turning their backs to the enemy...
Read "Nero's Killing Machine: The True Story of Rome's Remarkable 14th Legion" by Stephen Dando-Collins if you want to read the great history of the legion. Amazing book. Filled with action.
what of a gem for those that love Roman History, thank you very much Filaxim Historia, waiting for lots more, and really thinking on patreon you, salutes
With all due respect, the numbers on the Legion's standard in the beginning of the video is wrong - it reads "Leg XIIII" - which is not the Roman numeral at all. It should read "XIV"
I googled it but I also went to undergrad and grad for Military history, specifically Roman history. That they would change their numbers on occasion makes no sense - they were all about order and ensuring that systems (linguistic, militaristic, numeric) were always followed to the T. That being said, I also have never seen the Legio XIV Gemina banner with four "I"s on it, until this video. The Romans were masters at organizing and maintaining Legions, so any sloppy numbering is out the window completely. And I believe someone brought up the Sun King in their reply - what does that have to do with anything? We're talking ROMANS.
@Martin Čelko thanks for the reply. However, I cannot see the Romans playing around with numerals and Legion standards like this, it's not in their nature. And the visuals in military garb/standards were indeed important to the point where four lines vs 3 lines would in fact make a huge difference. Imagine being a commander and you can't tell if the standard said "4" or "3" - how would you be able to tell in the middle of battle between the two from a far distance? III and IIII would look basically the same, in the haze of a melee, so it makes sense that "XIV" would indeed have to be the logical choice to distinguish from Legion XIII especially if you needed to make calls in the middle of an engagement.
@@jrt818 what does Louis XIV have to do with this? We're discussing the Romans. You saying that it's right based on Louis XIV's personal choice is kind of like saying "You're wrong because something that has nothing to do with this said so."
Regarding the numerical use of XIIII over XIV. There's numerous examples of the the former usage. In the Israel Museum one can see a 90 CE Latin tablet inscription of a Roman soldier being honorably discharged, within it a clear example of 'VIIII' is being used.
@TriballianCome on... Losing YET another time & in front of ALL the other famous legions ?? At that point, they must have been more like depression Inc. Poor sods.
@Triballian And I fully agree with you. What I was thinking of is the appalling morale of these men, branded as the "loser legion" for so long by other legions. An entire generation of legionnaires lived & died in perpetual shame, poor sods.
I believe you may have missed the following battle honors: 14-16 AD German Campaign (vs Arminius, et.al.) & recapture of 2 (of 3) Eagles under Germanicus Caesar 60-61 AD the Reduction of Anglesey under Plautius 60-61 AD The annihilation of the Boudiccan Revolt under Plautius 69 AD Wars of the Four Emperors 101-106 AD Victory over the Sarmatians & the Dacian Wars both under the Emperor Trajan. 161-166 AD The Parthian Wars under the Emperor Lucius Verus. 168-180 AD Campaign and Victory over the Marcomanni under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. 193-194 AD Proclamation of the Emperor Septimius Severus and subsequent wars. 198 AD The War against the Parthians, under the Emperor Septimius Severus. I wouldn't expect any Roman Legions involved in so many successful wars and campaigns to hang their head in shame ... ever.
Just seen a comment giving you a hats off for making the videos and I figured I would follow suit. Well done lad, thank you for time and commitment. I enjoy learning from you.
well this really surprised me; for some reason i was 100% sure that caesar's tenth was his best. the weird thing is i read and watched a lot on caesar's campaigns and still was convinced that the tenth was the legendary one. how could i have made such a mistake? super confused at this point. edit: after watching video, it all makes sense to me.
Awesome videos! Have seen some of them now and only have one wish.. For me all understanding of history and events starts with timeline. This gives a bigger picture of things and helps in understanding occurrences and whats more important than others and how they played a roll in aftermaths. I would love if you could provide a timestamp in one corner to remind us what era and time we are talking about.. It would be awesome if it was dynamic but a 50 year like 50BCE-0 would also be good! I came to think about this when I saw the video of the first legion, but post this comment in your newest video in case it make it more likely to be seen from you.
That is a good point which I have thought about myself! The next legion I cover, I will definitely consider keeping the years in one corner. Thank you!
Hi there - sorry for the silly question, but the banner in the opening has 'XIIII' on it for 14. From what I vaguely recall of Roman numeral rules, we can't have more than 3 of the same symbol in a row, so 14 would be XIV wouldn't it? If XIIII is a valid historical usage, please let me know!
XIIII is totally correct. Romans used both additive (IIII) and subtractive (IV). In middle ages IIII was even prefered to IV, especially on clocks (because of symetry and IV resembling the name of pagan god Iupiter).
The rule you quote is actually a more modern convention. It was common during this period (ca. 100 BC to 200 AD) to use IIII (versus IV) when indicating the number 4. Two examples of which I am certain is IIII (4) and XIIII (14). 90% of my knowledge of the Roman Empire is directly related to the various legions and of these two numbers, I am certain. I have no idea as to why it was done.
@@HistoriaMilitum when I read about this it seemed like Cicero was already there when the tribune's legion was destroyed. It also said Caesar was surprised by how well Cicero handled the siege. But mainly ambiorex was sieging Cicero's camp and not the Germans.
@@tyty-xm8fw After the Eburones destroyed Sabinus and the 14th, they besieged Cicero and another Legion. In the video I say "with his favored 10th, Caesar defeats the Eburones". It was then that Caesar says Cicero did well in holding off against them. (Cicero was with another legion, not with the destroyed 14th legion). Then, after raising another 14th, Caesar gives Cicero the command of it. Hope this helps clear it up.
@@HistoriaMilitum Right. If I remember correctly Quintus Cicero was commanding the 9th and was besieged by the Nervii but managed to hold his camp against a prolonged and vicious attack until Caesar could relieve him.
@@mauromontobbio8522 Mauro, there is. Romans used XIIII And XIV. It wasn't until the middle ages where XIV became standard. You can see examples of XIIII Literally on the coliseum
