    By the way, one of the main reasons Rome had a bitchin' army was because they treated their troops REALLY well. Not only was it considered a very respectable job with generous pay, but the families were also compensated since the working men were gone at war. In short, Rome had a poppin' VA. I'm a hoe for ancient rome because of how effiencent and organized it was.

      @@oliviathompson3271 that's Sparta you're thinking of, enlisting was optional in Rome, which is why it had so many promising returns for the soldiers; in some points in roman history military service was rewarded with land (I *want* to say Caesar did this but I might be thinking of some consul before him) , which was pretty much the most valuable thing you could get.
      True, those lands were usually on regions conquered by the army and, double true, conquered regions had a nasty tendency for undergoing uprisings (in which case being one of the people directly responsible for taking over their land wasn't exactly the best thing in the world), but even so, if you took the military career in Rome you *could* go from begging for food and change to owning your own little farm with your family living nearby your best friends for your retirement in some 20 to 40 years of service. That was very alluring.

      @@elliotgregory3356 the Gladius worked so well with the Romans and was effective because of the Roman’s tactics and equipments. Specifically the rectangular shield they carried, the scutum. Similar to a Greek phalanx, a Roman cohort would move as one, shoulder to shoulder and their shield locked besides one another. The enemies get close, and the weapon that was more special than the gladius I am sad they didn’t mention, was the pillum, which was a Roman javelin mass produced for every legion to carry about three of them. What’s special about these javelins is that they ain’t normal spears for throwing. Their real purpose was to be thrown and pierce the enemies shield and the head of the pillum would be thin enough to bend, but not break, having the heavy shaft of the javelin weigh the shield down, making the enemy either drop their shields or fight inefficiently. Being killed by the pillum was just a plus one.

    @ 15:30 Shane is actually right in calling them missiles. They were definitely using more than just arrows, lots of javelins and rocks got slung around in medieval skirmishes. Pretty much any lethal projectile was a missile. It's why the term is used as it is today.

      Um this wasn't set in the period history considers medieval, that is seen as the point after the fall of the western Roman empire. But you are right about the missiles for Romans, archery was used by some people that made up auxillary forces of the Romans others used slings, the legionaries themselves used javelins called pilla at this time

    I think my favourite part of rewatching the Shane Cinematic Historical Universe is realizing that a lot of Puppet History guests were guests on Ruining History

    The animation on each and every one of these videos is amazing. I have seen so much of 'Ruining History' episodes and I cannot even imagine how much effort goes into making them. The little comments are one of my favorite things.

      Because while very entertaining, it´s not very accurate. Some things are oversimplified and some, frankly, pulled out of thin air, like that boner story. Not hating, I love these videos, but please don´t take the content for accurate information, i.e. to study. You´ll have a lot of questions about your sources otherwise :)
