Serican bushmen, mate that's just your average aussie.

Space confederate is always a vibe

I heard Zeno was buried alive after getting drunk.

Every man being a soldier is not very different than today. Notice any women or children in the refugee boats? Only men in their 20s, soldiers the moment they get a gun.

Id say it takes 50% of the blame, the other 50% goes to the copious ammounts of corruption. You know like most of the modern West which is Romes sucessor. If only our leadership learned from history...

So your observations are exactly the same as mine. I will say that an army can not be seen seperatly from the society who it serves and who staffs it. It was not the armies fault that roman culture had changed and people wouldnt flock to the banners uppon news of a defeat reaching them and thus losses became harder to replace. Id say the early Empire was stonger than the late Empire, which had way too much corruption to handle and is what ultimetly really doomed it. But when it actually comes to military units the better equipment and tactics of the late Empire shows, the early imperial legionares would have a hard time cutting fully armored troops or even getting past their long spears let alone deal with cataphract charges.

Love this, you make wargamers like myself sing when thinking about build a gaming force. The big plus is the actual painted images as a guide. You need to start making books of these subjects. 👌👌👌

I think therapod dinosaurs had feathers. Ive seen the fossils with them preserved beautifully. Also AI will some day be able to do interpritation better than any human. This is why Ive no motivation to do anything. Cos whats the point?

Awesome video.

late empire (dominate) at my favorite

what is the name of first music

when modern modern

patron god of Thespia was Eros - god of SEX. also they're do drip

Honestly, I really this old style of yours to the other more contemporary ones you do now! It has this more cartoony feel to it, but that's what makes it come off as quite charming in a way to me. That and the music here slaps!

great video! as always

historically they had helmets

Mod Danube Limes ❤

in theory this treatise, is it similar to the art of war by sun tzu and the prince by machiavelli?

This is an amazing video, you should keep making more like these in the future! A good option besides the macedonian manuals would be the Ordinance of Charles the Bold, which set a firm "uniform" look to his troops, which was something not at all common in late medieval europe. They also look super cool!

I tried to buy your book on Amazon Kindle but I can't do it, it's unavailable idk😭

My favorite part is when the strategikon mentions selecting a particular enemy elite/leader and avoiding waste of their properties when looting an area to promote internal distrust within the enemy. Hannibal did the same thing during his marches across italy, cool to see examples of inherited tradition

I like the detail that a soldier who feels handsome will fight whith more confidence and inspire fear. I sometimes see people saying "this was to inspire fear"' when looking at ANYTHING, is like when people say something is ceremonial. Feathers? fear. Crests? fear. Any piece of armor? also fear. Like, i get it, some pieces of armor were designed whith that purpose, like the mempo, but most of the times helmet decorations must have been for distinction and fashion. Nobody will convince me that a feather in a helmet is the scary part. That's why I like what this text says, they had cool armor whith some ornamentation which makes them look cooler. And that confidence it gives is what makes the soldier more fearsome. Also that line can very well be allied to modern dressing, dressing well to feel a bit more confident

800 years of *(Eastern) Roman infantry

3:24 The manica seems really useful, and after discovering it I often found myself wondering why ancient and medieval infantry didn't often wear more armor on the right (weapon) arm than the left (shield) arm, given that while the shield protects the left arm, with a symmetrical set of armor (unless we're talking heavy cavalry armor) there was often NOTHING protecting the left (sword/spear) arm, which of course made ancient and medieval infantry vulnerable when attacking from behind their shields.

I wonder if the varangian bra would be helpful in holding some of the chainmails weight so it wasn't all resting on your shoulders

-smashes the subscribe button. “How have I just found this?!?❤”

That'd be crazy!

Great work keep it up

the one that was killed at 12 years old .. he was just a kid ..

It's amazing great job !

late roman infantry look so cool

Byzantine next?

Wooow! Fantastic, again! 🙂

I just recently found out about my grandfather's passing and it's the HARDEST hit I've taken in life so far, so I'm listening to this to atleast try to control my anguish. I loved my grandfather and think about him alot just as how I love and think about Rome too, so please cherish the things you enjoy in life as much as you can....

Belisarius & the Bois gettin' ready to restore Rome be like:

that s how I imagine the real historic King Arthur and his knights (equites) in the second half of 5th century Britannia

I'd love this as a travel mug, or something. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Good to see you back in action, mate!

This is great, man!!

Ooo yea that's the good stuff.

Great video. You give me a lot of drawing inspiration for my own video's.

Made with iOS IbisPaint. Tracks used are the Byzantine ambient themes from the Civilization VI soundtrack. I don't own the rights to these tracks. Apologies for the wonky layout, this wasn't meant to be a video when I started drawing these figures (they'll be part of a poster for my parents' church). Anyway a blob / squad of late Roman pedites, late 4th to 5th centuries AD.

bruh, Teuton - WWI germans but eagle was from Chernobyl

I too would like to try to write excellent essays, but I have a problem with handwriting and punctuation which gives me a huge problem with writing, however I manage to come up with excellent ideas for writing an essay.

Pretty spot on, thanks. Ill be starting my history studies next year. Fyi, just found your channel today 👍👍

I gotta say i've written hundreds of essays throughout my school career. for most of those I didn't know what I was doing. I wish I received instructions like these earlier in life.

Of course, the worst part is naming the sources. If you are in school or university, this is not really an issue (you just read about it and hopefully have taken enough notes). But afterwards it gets really frustrating: You know the facts, but you can not recall where you saw them. Which gives you two options: 1. Rereading the stuff 2. Writing a commentary instead.
