      Two points:
      1 Why do you think the Romans didn’t use flame throwers in battle - set the entire Germans or Celtic tribes they were fighting on fire, that would have meant instant victory, a far safer method of fighting then the close range hand to hand engagements with the risk of injury and death ?
      2 According to Julias Caesar’s account of battles with the Germanic tribes he states that they had little body protection, other then the shield they carried which was soon rendered unusable, wore skin which only party covered their vast bodies leaving them exposed to Roman sword, archers and spears. Your video suggests otherwise.

      People have survived far worse then an arrow or bullet to the shoulder. Just look at most if not all our Medal of honor awardees. People have survived having IEDs take their leg or arm or several limbs. Some have even received prosthetic limbs & returned to combat & the military or police force. People including small kids get shot everyday in most liberal cities & even toddlers have survived gun shots what's an arrow.

      Historian fact: Caesar’s Rome would defeat mid-evil Rome Byzantine Empires. If anything the Plague that exterminated 2/3rds West should have blamed not converted to monotheism.
      Rome before 300C had 400% the population and 1000% GDP and 10 x manpower and vast science and engineering knowledge intentionally destroyed by Christianity forced conversion from top down.
      All 21 supercomputers queried agreed mankind would been vastly superior and colonizing stars by now if Rome had not.
      Same with Japans culture adopted by Asian as founder of modern China Sun Yet Sun agreed with Japan 1924 sadly died far too early.
      As anthropologist it was stunning to learn just how similar Samurai and Roman culture society were.
      Humans lost and forgot such vast greatness falling back into ignorance and divisive superstition.
      Like the irony the Greeks adopting rather than fighting over gods, the most logical of tribes. Japan China and Korea adopted not fought over Buddha and gods. Valuing science above all as today. The Norse and Romans never had religious crusades either.

    The angles and camera shots you got during this battle really highlights how utterly visceral Rome 2 was as a total war game. It's a level of brutality that honestly hasn't been replicated since. Even with the newer WH games and the blood options it just looks comedic and silly. The team who worked on this game at the core really appreciated the time period and had a good vision for how to portray it.

    From the moment I saw the units in the Roman side, I immediately knew that the Gaulic tribes weren’t going to win. If you had the right troops and even if they had no experience, you can easily defeat a Gaulic army with ease. I always kept my men stationary so they wouldn’t get tired and used my cavalry for rear charges. Worked every time.

British, Mongol, Roman, French all fell due to the fact they couldn't reliably control all of their territories since they were either spread out so far, or were too vast. No Empire has been destroyed by a stronger foe. Roman Empire fell from within, and had too many enemies for it to handle - couldn't patrol its borders with the size of them and the reduced military at the time. Empires also don't fall when someone learns how to defeat the army, as they adapt over time. Mongols learnt how to better siege European castles, as did the Ottomans despite them being obstacles early on in their Empire's reigns. The Romans incorporated more cavalry and light axillaries towards the latter stages of its rule to better combat Germanic tribes in the north and Persians in the east.

    As a war vet, I question of the marching solders would be wearing full armor and shield until they were approaching danger zone! They often had camp followers, often amounting to greater numbers than the solders, and long convoys of supply wagons, often stretching out for miles! There would be great numbers that would be out hunting and gathering wood and such supplies as well! Formations also would not always be marching in such tight formations! There would be solders dropping out , to use the bathroom for example, and these tight formations would soon be stretching out for many miles! They would not be forming up like this till they confronted the enemy of felt they might be in danger, like being vulnerable to ambush for example!
    Although this looks very impressive, and it is, this is not how they would be marching most of the time! Very few large scale battles like this took place on wide open fields! The Germanic tribes would attack the solders in wooded areas, where the Romans would be in thin line where the front of the lines could not see the back of the lines, and the Germanic tribes would ambush the Romans in more skirmish like, with guerrilla warfare, then slink back into the woods, hopping the Roman's would chase them, where the Roman war of battle would leave them at a disadvantage and the German tribe would have the advantage! The Romans lost whole legions this way, but in the end, of course, the Romans wore down the Germanic tribes and many even joined the Roman armies!
    The opening scenes of the Gladiator movie was probably much more realistic! There was in no time were the Germanic tribesmen ever in such uniform clothing or shields!

      Check out Roman history, you sound very interested but maybe an update could help , modern archeology and cross references evidences have now addressed those topics and several credible TH-cam channels have good introduction clips to this stuff. Just an example of this , Roman soldiers did marched with equipment after the "marius reforms" at the end of the 2nd century bc. They even came up with a cute nickname for them "Marius mules". Also Germanic tribes equipment and tactics greatly improved overtime mostly due to prolonged contact with Rome and even often fighting in the legions themselves ( and by often i mean that Rhine and Danube legions were almost entirely composed of germans after the republic era ).

    Very interesting. When Rome was at its height the only way you could defeat them on a open battlefield was with a massive cavalry with expert bowmen like the Huns.

The Roman Limes was the border of the empire and final. This was the fact due to the Roman losses in the Battle of the so-called Teutoburg Forest, in which the hitherto undefeated Roman Empire had lost a total of 3 legions with man and mouse. The myth of the Undefeated Roman Legions had been broken. And the Germans largely retained their freedom and independence.

    Marching out to meet the Romans. Balls of steel clash.

    The Roman maniple was a brilliant strategy that usually had the younger soldiers in the front and the more seasoned veterans in the rear. It was a well oiled machine that would grind down its opponents as the battle wore on. As the front line got tired they would simply rotate to the rear and the next line would take over. This meant that the enemy had to face more experienced soldiers as the maniple cycled through its lines. As long as each maniple maintained its discipline, it was undefeatable. The Germans, Gauls, Celts etc. didn't have the same iron discipline which is why the Romans regularly won battles in which they were outnumbered. The only weakness of the maniple was that it didn't work in closed confined spaces like a dense forest.
