Roman Battle Tactics

ghar ghar nahi thar that modi hai yeh hinduon ke bagwan shiv ko bi gaali de rahe hai gobar bakt,aisa bolke

Great video. Just dump the background music. It was poorly suited to battle tactics and distracting from your good information.

Mic quality jumpscared me. You have been at this a long time...

I am very happy to see how popular you've gotten! :D Your hard work has paid off!

Alright I've been binging the Roman history videos for like a month now. I got so into it I keep a little note pad by my computer and take notes. I loved it so much I can't wait for the next video and I have been reading ahead on wiki. Now the other day I sat down and played Star wars Empire at war with my cousin and, Neither of us had really played in well over 10 years so it was a learning experience for both of us. However, it did come down a key space battle over Geonosis. I had a large fleet with plenty of ships to spare but I still kept my best ships in reserve to warp jump them into the battle incase things did go south. Which they did, the Ion cannons on admiral Ackbars ship where no joke and started cutting down my ships at an alarming rate. I realized I needed those better ships NOW! Honest to God I said out loud “So it's come to the Triarii!” I just wanted to share that =P

and the velites too

Evolution of a Legion.

Update

Based Chad Triarii

Bruh imagine being some Italic mountain guy overlooking a battle and Rome's most grizzled veterans are sat down picking at grass.

Just wanted to say thanks in love history but also been play this game called bannerlord it a medevil start game use these tactics and I started butchering my opposition lol wonder if you would do any more tactics with diagrams like this man and you will have earned yourself a subscriber

Rome switched to the clone army😂😂

Triiari, sounds like Triage, we still have a triage system in hospitals and it fits into this system as a needed last selection.

I love ur channel so much

Judging from the videos, I expected the tactics to be: “Hold your ground.”

There is something very satisfying in roman war machine and how it operates.

Das Klima der Rocky Mountains ist für das Bergland typisch. Die Durchschnittstemperatur beträgt rund 6 °C. Mit 28 °C ist der Juli der heißeste Monat, der Januar mit −14 °C der kälteste. Der Jahresniederschlag liegt bei schätzungsweise 36 cm.

Die Sommer in den Rocky Mountains sind mit 15 °C und 15 cm Niederschlag warm und trocken. Im Juli gewittert es durchschnittlich 18 Stunden. Besonders im August führen die Gewitter oft zu Waldbränden.

Thanx for the information AND the use of non stress music like Beethoven's piano sonatas :)

That background music does not fit with this video

Using too many white, blank screens...? This is wasted time better used to illustrate your points!

Why did I cry when he started talking about the triariai last stand but didn't when I watched titanic?

Triarii. Mad Jack Churchill, and lots of other professional soldiers throughout the millennia relate.

The javelin used by hastati was called a pila and was creative as heck and a unique weapon as it was a one it featured a soft flexible iron shift which once in a shield or enemy could not be pulled out and thrown back as it would break off leaving a useless stick. After the victory they would regather and replace the tip and re equip back to soldiers.

I vote to remake the older videos to make the audio quality on par of the newer ones

Thanks. About to play Mount & Blade II: Bannerlord.

Dovahhatty basically copied this video lol

No more new Rome videos?

Lovely video, extremely helpful and engaging! Thank you

Err, all I can see are some grid lines paper moving next to some envelopes.
Where are the guys with spears?
What is a maniple? Where is the image of it? Is it really an envelope?
Are these the paper style wars?

I thought the difference between Hastati and Principes was one of class, rather than experience. The Hastati were the poorer soldiers, and thus were equipped poorly. The Principis were the more wealthy citizens, and they had better gear.

I would like to have a tour through Italy then hear some Italian say “It’s come to the Triarii” for some reason

These structures look much like software components in a distributed architecture.

The Phalanx was a major factor contributing to the Greek alliance's defeat of the Persians

I REMEMBER THOSE DAYS.

You say the triarii were used rarely, but wouldn't they be used pretty much every time a Roman side lost a battle? Like the commander isn't going to lose without having sent in all of his troops

An excellent synopsis but your graphic content leaves much to be desired. It’s not like there aren’t tons of pictures and movies depicting all this that you could have thrown in. The last battle in Spartacus (Kirk Douglas) had an outstanding scene of Roman maniples moving into combat. There’s tons of material. Take more time to make a video presentation. Your factual instruction is excellent compared to some videos I’ve seen.

if I were a Roman I'd definitely be a triarii

SAVE LIVES ... GET VACCINATED !!!

Masks PROTECT YOU and people around you!

Thank you so much for uploading this video. It is helping me get through the pandemic!

This is army organization. Not battlefield tactics.

Romans didn't steal from Greeks, they are Greeks, from the sacked city of Troy.

pure class

Okeeee fine! I will install rome total war 2 again

From my many hours in total war, I keep thinking, where are the archers?
The checkboard pattern plus archers just wipes armies theoretically superior to your own.
I thought Roman would employ them, when they reorganized.

During ww2 italy was supposed to be the ones to fight africa and they got demolished

You clearly just play. No harm in that. Just a a bit pathetic. I found this informed and interesting.

AMAZING GUYS, I am listening to CAESAR`s COMMONRARIES and he wrote something like that, and for instance, when they line up in battle formation and wait for their opponents to do the same, but if one side refuses to fight the battle for some good reason like they are not on good fighting grounds they usually try to avoid such places like forests as well. So you will get killed for avoiding battle with out a really good reason like people up on hills throwing down everything and any thing. Caesar wrote that many times there are so many people throwing spears, rocks heated up clay balls to set things on fire that they had to hide behind the ramparts which, allowed the GAULS to fill in the huge ditches with what ever they could find like bodies and stacks or bundles of sticks, just to get closer to the walls. We are talking over 80,0000 picked men out of say 300,0000 people who were trying to take over the rest of France in a large migration of their tribe into Gaul now France.

Alot of these tactics except for the phalanx are still in use in larp circles

"When things stopped working, they ditched it, unsentimentally." This is simply not true. It took tremendous political clout to force through military reforms. All the stakeholders fiercely resisted changes as they would in any state. Shoddy scholarship.
