    I was lucky enough to visit the battlefield of Gergovia (mountains of France). It's quite amazing. Caesar did not have the high ground. There is a very ancient temple on the highest summit.
    It must have been exhausting moving up and down in full armor. Then I flew to Rome that day. It is eye-opening to realize how great the feat. Vercingetorix must have been gob-smacked when he was wheeled into the Forum and killed.

      This was also another famous high ground defeat. In America Civil war General Thomas broke Confederates center at Missionary Ridge during the Chattanooga Campaign. Confederates guns on high ground couldn't shoot against advancing union forces, because the slope is too steep so confederates couldn't point the guns toward the foot of the ridge.

      @@sanfordwong Similar for Garibaldi at Calatafimi. To launch a frontal assault vs. an enemy that was on top of an hill, superior in numbers and far better armed seemed like pure madness, but the terraced hill made so that the attackers were visible from the top only in the few moments required to climb the steps, not giving them time to aim, and stressing the troops, that, thus keeping on firing, were not able to inflict serious casualties, until the attackers were at bayonet distance.

      Absolutely right, I wanted to point that out, too. I have read Caesar's "De bello Gallico" many times and Sabinus and Cotta where the ones slaughtered. Cicero (the famous orator's brother), even though personally suffering from illness when attacked by Ambiorix' forces, resisted effectively long enough to be relieved by Caesar himself.

    Great video, just one thing. During Ambiorix's revolt, he first destroyed the Roman detachment of Sabinus and Cotta at Atuatuca (A great story BTW), then besieged the detachment led Quintus Cicero in Nervii territory. This detachment was then rescued by Caesar. In the video, it is incorrectly shown to be the other way around with Cicero's cohorts being destroyed and Sabinus' besieged. Just a little thing.

    Great video as alwyas, please do the battle of alcácer quibir, it's the most epic moment in our Moroccan history, and a major turning point for the Ottomans who were prevented from taking over Morocco, and the Spanish and the portugese who fell into the succession crisis of 1580 because three kings were killed in this battle hence it's also called "battle of the three kings"

    Why would the Tribe that Caesar just defeated 14:23 send him 10 000 cavalery to help his army? I understand he would of destroyed them if he didn't but how could they be trusted to fight for him and why didn't they turn on him mid battle?

    Did the Romans not drag their ships on land? It would seem to me that this would become the norm later to minimize the risk of such storm damage.

    • @KingsandGenerals
      @KingsandGenerals  5 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Unfortunately, sources do not have every detail. We know that it was a standard practice with the triremes, but, at the same time, Caesar mentions that they built ships using Veneti technology. Were it possible to drag the Veneti ships? No idea. Is it possible that this navy was a mix of triremes and Veneti vessels?

    This video was great thank you. Being british, im always on the side of the britons, despite knowing our fate. I can only sympnathise for Gaul.
    Honestly though, i think there was a chance in Britain to wipe out Caeser and his army. If only Cassivellaunus had his army ready when his charriots broke through the romans whilst they were building their camp.
    If he committed his entire force into one swift attack, i believe Caeser would have been overrun.
    Gotta give it to Caeser though, he was one hell of a general and tactician.
