My Latin teacher came into class today with a Roman shield, sword, and full set of armor and tunic. He even let a kid try it on and take a picture with the sword and pilum. By far the coolest teacher I've had.
rome is everywhere ,roman empire never finished, is extended in all the world, french, spanish, purtuguese, italian, romanian, english ( english for 60 %) are latin, all the planet speak latin, from india to brasil, from france to south africa, from england to mexico etc, you can listen latin words everywhere, in the street, in tv, in a conversation, in a supermarket etc,,, planet is latinized totally, rome is in us forever
latinization came with the HOLY Roman Empire after Constantine the great- 319 on
777jonah888 What? Latinization started with the HRE? WHAT? How the hell did a bunch of germans kick start the evolution of language they didn't even speak?
+777jonah888 but indeed came
romans have done a lot for us.For example our entire legal system is based on the romans!
Very true
best reenactment video i have seen !
I am proud to live in Rome, the capital of the greatest empire in history
Romans proved to be one of the finest civilization ever. Even today with our computer and technology would be difficult to manage such an empire with the same efficiency. During that period all the people around the world, from Asia to America were brutal and pitiless. We cannot judge romans behavior with our moral code.
I've watched around a dozen of your videos and enjoyed them all, many educational, but all very pleasurable. Thanks!
Thanks for posting this! Great demonstration!
i love how awsome the roman troops look. the helmits are real craftmanship
Excellent drill, fantastic show.
Haha, Life of Brian. Awesome video!
@pog376 I'm afraid he's right. The first Roman incursion into Britain was done by Caesar. Caesar didn't conquer anything there, but Caesar most definitely did get to Britain.
The issue with the segementata was that it easily rusted, and was difficult to maintain. Also the number of separate parts made it difficult to transport. Well the segmentata provided better protection it was also more difficult to produce, which is why many legionaries in the late empire were equipped with the hamata chain armor. I've never heard anything saying that chain and scale were more expensive then segementata to produce however.
Its kind of amazing to see. But sadly for Rome, they never bothered to update their fighting methods. In the end, they were undone by their own inability to adapt. (also possibly lead poisoning. Pb the atomic sign for Lead comes from the word Plumbumb, or pluming. ) Still the Roman Empire is responsible for changing the world, probably for the better, despite the nasty reputation.
@stygn The Romans stayed in Britain till 410 AD. The Roman Emperor Honorius recalled the Roman legions from Britain at that time as they were needed to confront threats (Goths) closer to home. The Britains had to fend for themselves and this is where the legend of King Arthur were born.
some tribesmen are stealing a centurion car XD, great video thanks
@DickWhittington1000 Thanks! It’s great to hear someone out there is still watching, and enjoying my videos. And thanks for taking the time to leave such a lovely comment.
I also love it. You deserve 1M subs
hearing the police siren in the background kind of ruins the whole roman atmosphere feeling.. i'm now crying
@malikkaastrup one of the best soldiers.... one of the best..
comments made me realize that lots of people have really simplistic views of history. romans loved all things greek, they never hid it and never claimed anything from other cultures as theirs, instead they adopted many aspects and that was their strength. they had their own original culture and made many innovations by themselves (concrete, domes, vaults, amphitheatres...) and they had a republic (established in 509 BC) one year before democracy in Athens (508 BC), so they didn't copy it either.
Great!!! Fantastic!!!
i am greek but i respect the roman war machine.maybe the best army before firearms era.
Great presentation! Thanks for sharing
awesome presentation... love it.
@johndeerishere Yes, Julius invaded in 55 BC, and again in 54. However, he didn't conquer much, just made the kings and leaders in what is now eastern England to pay tribute to Rome and set up trade and diplomatic bonds. Some land was owned by Rome I guess, but not much. When Claudius invaded in 43 AD it was with a much larger force with the aim of conquering the whole of the British Isles. I'm not sure how long they stayed, but to about 250 AD would be a fair guess.
@stygn The Romans did on occasions, withdraw some troops from Britain to fight wars on the continent. For example, the Roman Emperor Trajan withdrew some troops from Britain in the early 2nd Century AD for his conquest of Dacia. Marcus Aurelius withdrew troops to meet the threats posed by Germanic tribes on the Danube (late 2nd Century AD). In 410AD, the Goths sacked Rome and most of the provinces of the Western Roman Empire were overrun by Barbarian tribes.
HAIL THE LEGIONS BRAVEST SOLDIERS OF ALL TIME !
Nice video, good performance.
this guy has spammed every you tube video in existence
Helmet and armour from the Celts, sword from the Iberians, Pilum possibly from the Iberians as the Iberians had a similar weapon. Their shield probably based on Italian/Casapine ones.
Very nice video btw ;) these guys did an awesome job
Although I am not a military tactics or history expert, I know for a fact that the romans "tortoise" formations could easily be taken out by a skilled archer. Their formation was used for a horde of arrows coming with just basic aiming. Take out one of those soldiers, the rest of them behind that soldier would all trip or at least stuggle to get back into the formations, by that time, many romans would be dead.
In Rome's early history, before conquering Italy, yes the Romans were heavily influenced by the Greek fighting style and made heavy use of the phalanx. However, after fighting multiple wars with the Samnites, the Romans realized the phalanx was of no use against a mobile enemy and on uneven ground. They adapted and created the maniple system. Their equipment would change drastically as well. However, from then on their system bore little resemblance to the traditional Greek method of warfare.
To be fair to the Romans, they had to endure regular raids by the Gauls into the Italian peninsula for centuries. When the Romans marched into Gaul, it was with the intention of putting a final stop to it.
@GenderBenderizer Well if it wasnt for Rome,Britannia,Gaul,Spain,Germania etc and all the other barbaric countries would of never found civliazation.If it wasnt for rome there wouldnt be great Architecture,Clean water running through cities etc for all those uncivilizid factions.
Yes the chinese were advanced in technology at an early Age but the roman gave something to the world that the chinese didnt.Civilazation
I don`t understand why everybody hates the romans
I am Portuguese and I`m glad they were here
@gogoasacenusie You are right. While a large populations of both of those cultures were assimilated into the empire, after the Roman Empire fell, countless other non-Roman populations invaded those areas. For instance, a Romano-Britiah culture survived the fall of Rome until the Saxons came. Also, Britain was invaded by not just the Saxons, but the Normans, Vikings, and other cultures.
what is the different between golden helmet and iron helmet?
Werilla Marcus Johang those helmets were brass and they were not as strong as iron helmets
The design painted on the shields is the God of war unpersonified.
The title of this video made me think of The Life of Brian actually.
@McShoshau probably I guess
The Elites in the Roman army (1st Century) are at the back, While in the other hand the Greek's Elite were in the front, The Spartans are in command , and we all know their pride is higher than Mt. Everest . They're so eager / too excited to fight because they weren't able to join the battle of Marathon, and The Greek generals/leaders are always in the front (of course Leonidas is a Sparta) which makes the Spartan in the front , same with Alexander
First time in a while that Ive seen two top comments that should actually be top comments!
great video, thanks for sharing!
o.O simply awesome
@taupinb Fantastic video. Do you know of any specific events websites that will list when and where these re-enactments take place? Many thanks.
My gosh, how the invention of gunpowder powered weapons have changed the world.
yeah i´m portuguese too and in ancient warefare roman army defeated every thing they had to defeat they were simply the best
Sometimes they fought naked, but after a while they got sense and started wearing armour in battle.
Little difference between an empire and the Roman Empire: "The Roman Empire lasted from: 16 January 27 BC when it was imposed on the title of emperor Augustus, until 476 AD
Year when Odoacer deposed the last emperor Romulus Augustus.
Then, exactly 503 years. "Ciao..
Thumbs up just for the title alone :)
Yes I did , I love both Roman & Greek history , If you pay attention the romans were beaten & push down the hill against the Macedonians ( 1st Phalanx fight vs romans) and then the general *forgot his name* noticed that the left wing are still organizing their lines, they took a risk , while the romans are being slaughtered at the right wing, and immediately the roman centurion noticed a gap & commanded the legionnaires to take advantage of the opportunity & they won by flanking not face to face
you may be right there specially for the ruthless part but thats what still killed them or rather in some way made them cocky
and ruthlessness + underhandedness is what killing us
The Iberians used a similar weapon, also with a long iron shaft. Rome basicly copied all of their equipment and made some minor changed. The only piece of armoury what is probably their own is their late plate armour.
The latest patch actually fixed the main issue which was campaing turn time. Its very enjoyable now.
Actually chainmail is more difficult to produce than the lorica segmentata. The entire process takes longer to forge that is why it would be more expensive. Historians and modern blacksmiths confirmed this. The lorica segmentata was in use for a much shorter period of time. Trajans column depict soldiers wearing both hamata and segmentata armors, the issue is how do we know for certain that ONLY auxilia used chain mail, and ONLY legionaries used the segmented armor? Which source tells us this?
1:18 That guy is like "Check out my threads bitches."
has anyone ever watched that old program where this man has a board and like a CGI army on the board and he explains there tactics and stuff :)
@TrueHarxel but in that time there`s another advanced army in Persia,& they defeated Roman many times,am i right?
@Caleidus No offensive, but you should check the history. In China, at that time, was the Empire Qin (who bulit the Great Wall and Terracota Armay) and Empire Han. Even the Empire Han had a war with Roman troops, and they defeated roman troop. The prisoners stayed in China until now. There is still a Roman villiage in the Northeast of China.
@gothicus1 Thank you very much for your reply! I know very, very little about Roman history, so every little hint helps : ) I assumed they would withdraw from Britain to confront dangers on the continent, and I sort of guessed that would be around 250. But to hear it was as late as 410... Not sure about the benefits of holding Britain, but in retrospective I'd say it would be wiser to have pulled them back earlier to maintain the dominance on the continent. Do you agree?
I don't care.... in size the most large empire was alexard's empire, but the splendor of the roman empire has unreachable... The strongest army that the world has ever known.
Awsome...
only 25 years of service !!! what a deal!!
25 years in reality was for the Auxiliaries, the Service of a Legionary was 16 years
Romans could defeat any kind of phalanx formation very easily. First rank of roman century would pin their shield against the phalangite´s spear. Second rank would come in between fixed spears and stab the phalangite. Very easy and effective way.
very cool
@gogoasacenusie about history, TOTALLY agree with you!!!!!
there is a huge misconception the roman legion fell because the legionaries began to become army engineers solely and relied entirely on the auxiliary troops for combat which lead to romes armies dissolving when barbarians invaded because the fighting troops would side with the enemy
as bad as they might have been, you have to thank the romans for the aqueducts. those things are pretty awesome.
I guess that would depend on your historical source. As to what I said three months, ago, it's in the past.
Rome II comes out soon, hopefully it will be more balanced / realistic than the original. :D
Sometime on the torti thing there would be shields on the side not the back though
Romans were so clever. Where they need long sword, when marching in cover with you shield, thorwn you pila, and going to combat, unwonded. In combat, gladius is best weapon i think.
true, but like you stated, A skilled archer. Not every archer in an army is going to be a skilled archer. Archery requires years of practice and when you need soldiers quickly, you're not going to spend years training the men. And even if you could get a group of skilled archers from people like hunters, you won't have that many to make a large difference. It's much faster to give a man a spear and teach him how to stab and stay behind his shield in formation. That, and archers who
The romans overextension was why they lasted as long as they did, when they stopped expanding they lost a lot of income and soldiers when they stopped expanding.
The Romans took maniples because it was more usefull on unequal terrain after being beaten by the Samnites using it I believe. They used the Hoplite Phalanx before.
Rome really didn't want to conquer Germany or anything more eastern, Caeser himself marched his troops across the rhine (something the locals had thought to of been impossible) and then marched them right back across the rhine, effectively showing the germanic tribes that rome could conquer them if they wanted too. The Roman Empire had more land then it needed by the time it peaked, I do agree that roman had the military ability to do so, but just because they did doesnt mean they needed too
@sanctainquisitio well if you compare their buildings and art its heavely based on greek architecture.
They would use anti-phalanx tactics as seen in the "Roman infantry tactics"
Since the roman legion is FAR more flexible and open to tactics than a macedonian phalanx, they have many ways to get over one.
The legions also drilled and trained together over a more extended time, and were more uniform and streamlined.
Even less than brilliant commanders could win with a roman army.
America is the modern day Rome but there a lot of things we still use from the Romans still to this day. Like when the Romans showed the British how to take a shower and lots of other stuff
the man with the plumed helmet in the rear rank is he the optio?
I think so
Hey! I went to that exact place when I was 4! :D
Anyone in love with Roman warfare should look up Ryse son of Rome. It is an Xbox One game.
great
@livingWolfArrow .. - it's hard to hit a soldier that's shielded so heavily. When one falls the other soldiers wouldve probably been trained to fill the empty gap.
Thanks Taupin b, Very educational, but these guys need to learn to march.
I wish my history class was like this. :(
if your talkin about pila(pilum) im sure its a roman envention they may have copied the design but advance it with a weak tip that broke once hitting the enemy so they couldnt throw it back
It's not the gladius that did it. It's the maniple formation. It was far more flexible than the phalanx and allowed for the Romans to easily beat back Macedon when it did make its move into Greece. The gladius was a good sword, but superior tactics and logistics are what made the Romans the masters of the Mediterranean.
true, but as I said before, a skilled archer could easily take out that formation, even if the soldiers where trained to fill in the gap, as you said, they are heavily armored, and heavy aremor means slower soldiers, the slower the soldier, the easier to shoot and find a way around them/ their armor. But as I have said before, I am not an expert in such things, just typing in what seems to be common sense to me.
Some of us are hoping the Picts make it to civilization soon
@tievesjoodenaap True...but I believe they did that on purpose so that the viewers could see how it was constructed and how the soldiers walked.
yeh similar that were the original design for the roman one was from,they just improved it to their advantage.Yeh segragated armour i think what it was called after the marian reforms.
Honestly I think they could've made the world a better place if they were to rule. Way ahead of their time in architecture and innovative constructions such as aqueducts and public entertainment.
Not saying I really liked their way of ruling, but they had developed lots of great ideas way ahead of their time, even though they could be barbaric in both punishment and discipline. Their ways were still under influence of war and conquest like all others at the time.
They need to make field trips like this :)
@Kiwis4life
I think the Romans took a lot from the Greeks during the early period of Roman history. Most of the Italian city states back then were heavily influenced by the Greeks (Etruscans, Latins etc.). The South of Italy was technically Magna Graecia and influenced the central parts of Italy to some degree.
Modern Greeks did descend from Greece within the Roman Empire but they had a sort of Greek and Roman co-existence whereby both cultures influenced each other.
Versatility.
and this is y the romans did and still would kick ass
@Caleidus Quite right.
To this day I can't understand how the auxiliaries used the hamata chain mail instead of the segmented armor. When both chain mail and scale armor was more expensive than segmented armor. Is this just a modern misconception, or were auxilia actually better equipped than the legionaires?
