always find it a bit crazy the sheer manpower available in classical battles. Then you read medieval sources and a big battle is like 10k dudes.
The nature of warfare in Europe had changed. During the medieval period much of it was focused on castle-building or sieging said castles. Pitched battles still occurred of course but not with the frequency of warfare in antiquity. Castles didn't require a lot of men to hold down and neither side was going to bring more men that was needed to either successfully besiege a holding or outlast a siege, as anything that strains logistics more than necessary is going to lower the chances of success. Building castles is also expensive. The heavy reliance on mercenaries also played a role. They're more expensive than native recruits or levies.
@@lycaonpictus9662 I think another reason is that the Roman Empire was much more centralized than medieval states which meant they could recrute many more men.
You probably have to take any battle numbers with a pinch of salt though, wouldn't you?
Young Zulu person from South Africa watching this very important history. Deepest and greatest love to Celtic peoples and also those of greater Europe. European history is very fascinating and filled with so much turmoil, conflict, but also glory and prestige. As a Nguni, I see the Celts and the way fight and the how they lived with land before conquest, and I think of how related and similar we truly are. I wish I had learned about this history in school. Thank you K&G! Always bringing good stuff 🌺
i'm currently reading about the Zanj rebellion. Are you familiar with it? Africa has a rich history and that rebellion makes the Spartacus slave revolt look small. Nguni people are related to the Bantu is that accurate? I'm hoping to get around to learning more about the Zulus. In particular Shaka who I know a little about already. The thing I love about African history is how oral tradition is still so strong. That's similar to Celtic customs in Scotland(where I'm from) and the other Celtic/Nordic cultures etc. All the best.
@@blairrobert3438 African rich history is lost due to the lack of written language just like indian one. Celts at least were observed by their educated "civilized" neighbors.
@@ar4imond Actually the educated ones were in Ireland first via Monks. Ireland then colonised the Picts as they were called then and Scotland was formed then the Anglos/Vikings/Normans and English started invading/migrating. Either way oral tradition is used not only due to lack of ability to record data but as a safety mechanism to fight the outsider. The Basque are amongst the most interesting for this. Pictish standing stones/art exists all throughout Scotland but we cant read it due to Gaelic/whatever the Irish tribes did to them.
@@ar4imond you think India has no written language? India has a rich literature of Sanskrit since around 1500 BCE.

"How Rome Conquered the Ancient Celts" Well, this is probably gonna be a better explanation than what I was told in school, which was oversimplified to "The Romans had discipline"
That's actually a wrong cliche. The celt had a discipline and an organisation which was remarquable : during a battle (I haven't it's name, but K and K made a video about it), the Boii and their allies were able to fight despite the fact that they were attacked on their rear and on their front by two roman consular armies... Even if they lost, still, managing to make that kinds of formation is a proof of a great discipline. The Celts were popular mercenaries during antiquity, and nobody want non-disciplined troop in his army.
@@cpp3221 Oh I'm well aware of that. Basically when I was in high school (in the 90s) the History class was rather dismissive of "the barbarians". Essentially, they were described as barbarians: outdated technology, no battle formations, etc. Heck they never even mentioned the Carthaginians. Our "world history" class basically mentioned Caesar and skipped right ahead to the Fall of Rome without ever mentioning that the East was still a thing. My History classes sucked...

@@tincan6747 Oh... True. Hopefully their ancient civilizations series will keep going and we'll see a proper video about ancient balkan people.
What do you mean by "threading the thin line between civilised and barbarian".. where they held at high regard by greeks or romans?
@@justinnamuco9096 it's really hard to pinpoint what regard they were exactly held in by the romans and greeks as a whole. What's more certain is that they were certainly valued as traders, craftsmen and warriors, especially the latter since their mercenaries often featured in roman and greek armies for many centuries, and then thrace also became one of Rome's prime army recruitment lands. Their martial prowess was definitely noted by the romans as one of the highest since according to them they were the some of the most fierce and martial cultures they ever encountered ,up there with the gauls. Even centuries after they became a roman province they continued to produce mercenaries that still fought in their own native style.
Probably the most important aspect of the Roman Republic is how they always managed to turn former enemies into steadfast allies. Hannible’s invasion of Italy assumed that as he won a few battles in Italy Romes allies would quickly defect in pursuit of returning to their freedom. This is no small event. Italy was as mountainous and fractured as Greece yet Rome managed to assimilate the conquered as it went. I think more details of how they did this would be very valuable but it appears to be in it’s DNA. Rome was originally a “joint” venture of 5 of the tribes that occupied 5 of Rome’s famous 7 hill tops. Their control of the ford of the Tiber river meant that they could tax the commerce flowing south from Etrusca to the wealthy Greek city states of the south (who in turn were tied into the vast trading network of Greek cities all over the Mediterranean basin). In essence, if you can control the ford of the Tiber, you can control the trade of the entire peninsula. The problem was none of those tribes, being barricaded in their hilltop fortified villages could gain hegemony over the others - or so it appears. So it appears that they finally hammered out an agreement to form a joint venture - these tribes were the founding fathers of Rome - in Latin Patricians (patre meaning father in latin) - but even with the 5 tribes, they lacked the resources to control the valley in between the hilltops, which meant they couldn’t quite control the ford. So, they opened up citizenship to anyone who wanted to come to Rome to augment their numbers and settle in the valley. What they got was a variety of men vagabonds, runaway slaves, criminals banished from other towns, and other ruffians. This helped with their numbers but left them short of women folk - which lead to the famous “rape of the Sabines.” They threw a party for some religious ceremony which they shared in common with the Sabines. Then got them drunk and then stole their women. The sabines were pissed off, of course, but ultimately their women said they preferred to stay with the Romans - this is probably more legend and myth instead of fact, but the point is, Rome was in the business of assimilation from the very beginning and so the idea of it was built into their DNA. The valley between the Roman hills was marshland and prone to flooding. For Rome to thrive this had to be dealt with. The Romans managed to lift the grade and drain the marshland to form the center of their city, the Forum of Rome as well as build a bridge across the river. Construction of infrastructure was in the Roman DNA. Another aspect of their DNA is their common sense regarding business and trade. Trade involves transactions. As the Nobel Laureate Ronald Coase taught, the more transactions you have the more productivity and production you have the more wealthy you have. So a key aspect of wealth building is reducing transaction costs. The bridge over the Tiber reduced the transaction cost of commerce moving up and down the peninsula. But the Romans first of their many famous roads, linked Rome with the most prosperous Greek Cities of the far South in Italy. Yes it lowers the transaction cost of moving armies but from an everyday stand point, it lowered the cost of trade and increased the amount of trade, thus increasing the wealth of Rome. The next point one is likely to make is: well waterborne trade is cheaper than land born trade, so the roads are redundant and couldn’t be worth building for trade alone. Perhaps, but water born trade is more vulnerable to piracy. Land born trade is also vulnerable to highway robbing and caravan raiding, but by conquering the land along the route disruption to trade could be minimized. However the Samnites living in the highlands overlooking the Appian way probably created a continuing problem for the Romans, so how the Romans dwelt with the Samnites - how they managed to assimilate them into their system - and make them allies - was key to understanding how Rome systematically grew as it conquered and how that conquest made Rome even more powerful as it grew. The Samnites wars and how they were resolved then is probably key to understanding the growth of the Roman Republic until the age of Sulla & Caesar. No doubt, Hannibal assumed the Samnites, Cisalpine Gauls and Etruscans would all abandon Rome in preference for liberty but they did no such thing. Hannibal killed hundreds of thousands of Roman legionaries but Rome’s Italian allies stayed with Rome. This mean that the post Punic war Roman state was essentially a tightly nit Italy after the Punic war, and so was able to divide and conquer the Iberians, Gauls, and Greeks as they went. So more important than any history of war and conquest is the history of how Rome assimilated the conquered and managed to grow their numbers. Some of that is understandable through the Roman constitution and Roman 12 tables of law but that doesn’t provide a comprehensive explanation of how their system of conquest and assimilation worked out over time. That is what I don’t know enough of yet and would like to learn more about.
It never occured to me that up until the time of Hannibal (or a bit later during Julius Caesar's time or the formation of the Empire), people in Italy could still identify themselves as Samnite, Hellenic or Gallic rather than Roman or Latin. The way that the Roman Republic was usually represented during this time period was that a monolithic Latin-speaking entity fighting Carthage and the Greek successor states and then Parthia
@@GloryToParadis or Umbrian correct?
TK: Thanks for that breakdown, Ive never read into the formation of Rome but appreciate the lesson.
@@GloryToParadis They still would for a long time. The social war (91-87 BC) was a war between the romans and many of their italian allies, aka conquered former enemies. The italian allies went to war after the senate opposed a law that would have granted all the allies roman citizenship, and assassinated the guy who proposed it. Rome won the war, but gave the rest of Italy full rights as roman citizens anyway.
Re: "Roman Republic always managed to turn former enemies into steadfast allies".. .No, not true..🙄
One of the most amazing things about the Romans was their ability to just raise another army if the previous one was wiped out. I also want to say that this is one of my favourite channels. Your videos are so good, the animations & music create an atmosphere & your voice is soothing & full of interesting information. Cheers!
Similar to the Red army in WW2
It is true they had that ability, but you don't win 95 of 100 encounters by just raising another army. They actually gave a damn about their soldiers. The Roman fighter was not a warrior, he was a soldier. Well, fed, well payed (especially after Marius reforms), well trained, always sporting the best equipment, backed by the best technology, best artillery, almost always with competent leadership, they won every battle. You don't conquer the Mediterranean basin and demolish every known superpower of ancient Europe by just sending another mass of humans

Fun fact: the Boii were subject to harsh punishment from the Romans. Either submitted, relegated to swamps and marshes of the Po River, or expelled from their lands in nowadays Emilia. Those who decided to migrate went back to their original homeland of modern-day Bohemia. I visited one of their oppida, in nowadays Trebon (Czech Rep.). Archaeology showed that the Boii who went back to live in Trebon - and descendants - were the same that had fought against the Romans. They also gave Bologna its name (Bononia, originally), as the Insubres named Milan and the Cenomani Brescia (Brixia).
some of them came in modern-day France
Please make a video about Bengal Sultanate The Bengal Sultanate was described by contemporary European and Chinese visitors as a relatively prosperous kingdom. Due to the abundance of goods in Bengal, the region was described as the "richest country to trade with". The Bengal Sultanate left a strong architectural legacy. Buildings from the period show foreign influences merged into a distinct Bengali style.
The Roman conquest of Iberia (Spain, Portugal) took over 200 years. Which was a extremely long campaign even by Roman standards of protracted warfare. Reason being Iberia was jam packed with dozens of fiercely independent tribes, city states & petty kingdoms. Rome had to individually take out each one by one which drew out the process. Also Iberians were exceptionally fierce fighters who could go toe to toe with the celts so this ment bloody warfare. Even after the 200 year conquest a tribe called the Asturiis a group of fierce independent warriors survived in north western Spain high up in the mountains where it would take the Roman's yet another century to subjugate.
I can't imagine fighting for a change I'd never live to see. Not through death in warfare necessarily but through simple aging.

Great stuff ! Bravo 👏
The Romans were never an entirely phalanx based army. The scutum/thureos/"celtic shield" originates in northern Italy, as did the pilum, and the Etruscans and Italic tribes are depicted using them centuries before Roman unification. The italic hoplites seemed to have a less rigid fighting style too, judging from the pila and battle axes.
I'm honestly surprised you haven't made a video about Viriathus, the Lusitanian and Numantind Wars yet. Given the previous focus on subjects such as the Sertorian War, for example, which were a consequence of animosity and the past wars. The material is there.

I love it when you talk about Roman history keep making more videos about the Romans 😀
Excellent video! But it would be proper also to tell about Balkanic Celts - Scordisci, who conquered the territory from Illyria to Macedonia and were a major force on the Balkans almost 300 years, but were also defeated by Romans. And one remark. Boii and Taurisci were not fully conquered in north Italy. After defeat, most of Boii migrated northwards to modern Czechia (that is why Czechia was called officialy as Bohemia almost till 20th cenrury, from Latin "Boiohemum" - "home of Boii"). Taurisci migrated to north-east to east Carpathian mountains basin in modern Hungary, Romania and Transcarpathian Ukraine (because west Carpathians in modern Slovakia were already conquered by Celtic tribe of Cotini much more earlier). Nevertheless, all those Celtic tribes were also assimilated later during Germanic migrations and Slavic expansion.
Fantastic video!
Loved the video, i was the whole day thinking about it while at work. The minute i was in my house ive rushed to watch it. thank you.

actually there were some resistance and revolt in Gaul during the time of Empire. Which is also an interesting topic to explore
keep up the good work.
Good video, thanks.
- Greek colonies everywhere - Phoenicians everywhere - Gauls everywhere - Roman Colonies plus empire - Arab conquest - Byzantine and Ottomans "wow, mediterranean people look very similar to each other how's that"
Do one on Celtiberians or Iberians.
About iberian resistance
Awesome video.
Salve! Fantastic! So much action!
I'm conflicted because I love Rome and it's history but found out a few years ago that my ancestors are Celts. haha
@Fabrizio Meanwhile us Brits are mind fucked by the amount of mixing there is, i cant tell if im norman, celtic, irish, roman, or viking xD
@@Dreagostini True!
@@Bullet-Tooth-Tony- Norman is a fairly easy one to cross off that list, unless you're aristocracy. But yes there is a crazy mix of ancestry in Britain.
Who would love Rome? Im sure you love Hitler snd Nazigermany as well. Afterall they used the ssme methods, had the same cultural goals and ideals and even the SS were modelled after the order of the jesuits in Rome as Adolf wrote. The empires of genocidal murder and lies and betraysl
@@AbuHajarAlBugatti Damn, you're daft! Then again, with that name, it's to be expected. 😂

your channel is the best
Incredible video! I've recently been looking into Celtic mythology and actually just finished up a vid of my own on how classical mythology influenced Celtic, particularly British legends!
Can you make something about the kingdom of Georgia 🇬🇪?
All the works of Eastern Rome, not Western Rome, were destroyed because of sons of bitches from the Asian steppes. And they still live comfortably in the home of the Christians or the ancient Greeks

@@muhametalijaj7838 Today, all Western Europeans come from Western Asia. For example, most Western Europeans are descendants of Phrygians, Hittites, Assyrians. But they don't know.
@@videocvdv7317 How in the world is this relevant to the Kingdom of Georgia?
I don't know where, but I read once the next: "Iberians, the first on being invaded, the last on being conquered."
I love this stuff!
Great video
Grapes. They conquered them with grapes.
Yup, that one little group of people sold out their whole nation, arming the romans for over 100 years i guess, damn that's a lot of steel.
@@lukej8532 Dude, I know it's irrelevant. But which nation was occupied and miraculously survived the First World War?
@@trippiedizzy9243 Now i may reading you wrong, but your hinting at the Swiss arming or perhaps funding, the Germans WW1?
I just want to know what the Gauls were doing during the Roman Republic's civil wars
Just chilling, just hanging out
@@steve8610 During the Social War (which really did amount to a civil war), the Gauls were still Gallic, as they were during the Marian-Sullan civil war (which really didn't break out but after the death of Gaius Marius), same thing. They probably say back and minded their own business, more or less.
Amazing video, the quality of the animation only gets better everytime! 💗🤞✨
This channel is great!! 💜👍👌
