I never stop being amazed by the insane logistical feats of the Roman army, I never knew that they dug a canal all the way to lake Flevo. It's insane that they dig a canal like that just for the sake of a single military campaign!
Got A problem to solve? Just throw some money at it. Lovely
They built a massive fleet AGAIN when their last one got destroyed by a storm.
Caesar as having some trouble with Germans crossing the Rhine - so - he bridged the Rhine - went about causing trouble for the Germans - then went back across his bridge - and destroyed it so the Germans couldn't use it. The message - "I can build one of those any time I want."
.
It is easy to do when you have an unlimited supply of slaves who had no civil rights at all.

Except the Legionaries did that themselves.
It is a fine morning indeed 🫡, great to see you posting more Baz. Please cover more Roman and Ancient Greece 👍
It's like getting hit of a major drug.
More Baz More...
@@9and7 I know I’m a junkie now 😁
Me too
I want to see the gay thebian hoplites
After over 40 years of studying roman military history Bazbattles is always a good friend. Thank you all so much.
Many forget that Teutoburg came AFTER a initial conquest by one of the best roman general of all times, Drusus, father of Germanicus.
Did he name his son after Germania or was it the other way around?
@@rustydragonling his son gained that name later in life
@@rustydragonling he earned that name fighting the Germanic tribes
@@ecurewitz Arminius also earned his name fighting the Romans or because he was Roman.
Armani / Armagne / Arman is an endonym for the Romance speaking ethnic groups at the Balkans.
Like his uncle Arminius, Italicus means the Italian.
Well I mean it is kinda hard to stage an uprising against the occupiers if you haven't been occupied beforehand
Currently cooking a roast. 2 bottles of red in. Perfect Sunday, then this pops up! Life is good. Thankyou for the awesome content
Currently shitting
One for the roast the other down the gullet lol
Sounds good 👍😀
You're making my mouth water. You're right, this video is a great accompaniment.
@Internet Explorer Depends on how many people you're cooking for.
BazBattles back posting regularly is a breath of fresh air.
It’s a shame Drusus died so young, and sadly they got Tiberius instead
first time I'm hearing about Drusus, definitely underrated. I wonder if Germania would have been fully annexed into the empire if he lived for another 20 years.
Drusus was the brother of the later Emperor Tiberius and the father of both Germanicus (Germanicus got his famous agnomen from his father, not his own accomplishments) and the emperor Claudius. He was a huge figure in his day though his passing did little to effect Rome's presence in Germania. Rome would continue to exert dominance and influence into Germania until it's decline, the fact that it never became a formally annexed province had little to do with military ability.
That depends if he would have stayed in Germania for much longer which is doubtfull since he would have been Augustus successor instead of Tiberius.
And Tiberius and Germanicus both couldnt subdue the Germanic tribes after Teuteborg ... but once Drusus became emperor, maybe he would have launched another campgain, thats possible at least
@@walter1946 Germania Magna was only occupied for a couple decades as the video explains, but the Romans occupied the western side of the Rhine River for centuries and they did have formally established provinces there: Germania Superior and Germania Inferior. Modern cities like Cologne, Mainz, Trier, and Xanten were all founded as Roman cities, as was Augsburg in Bavaria, founded as Augusta Vindelicorum in 15 BC around the time Drusus was first active in northern Germany.
Ah General Lollius... he was a good laugh
Do you know his friend Biggus?
Romans marching in a single file through a German forest. What could possibly go wrong?
Once again, a battle where the discipline and strength of the Roman heavy infantry makes the difference
So happy you are uploading again, these video’s are by far the best CZcams has to offer.
I really enjoy obscure ancient and medieval battles like this one, so I hope you’ll do more of them!
Keep it up. You're one of the best on here. Any topic in history, even the fiction stuff is great.
Ive seen other battle history strategy channels and they dont come close to Baz
Yessss!!! Amazing video as always Baz; so happy to see you do more battles of the Roman empire. More please :)
BazBattles genuinely has become a trademark for a good Sunday
A time period of history you cover so well! Feels a bit old school BazBattles this one, and it is appreciated.
Keep it up! Great content as always!
This piece of history was new to me. Thank you for this great video.
Bound to bed with a nasty covid infection, nothing could have possibly made my sunday evening more than a new Bazbattle, thank you so much, hero!
Greetings to everyone from Germany 👍
Flu doesn't exist anymore 🤷♂️
@@makeitsonumberone1358 Well I haven't been too fond of the governmental restrictions either, surely not the ones we had to endure here in Germany (which forbade me to earn any money for 18 months time), yet that doesn't change the fact that I'm pretty sick with positive covid test results mate 😅
People still get COVID?!
@@Kaiser_Wilhelm_IV. OMG you are going to DIE!
The real infection is the moronic antivax lot. Literally everywhere you look, even made it into Bazbattles smh.
I've never heard of this battle before. But I can see why. Great video. See you in two weeks with your next BazBattles.
Why so?
@@MonTube2006----Teutoberg forest
The conflict between Roman vs Barbarian never ceases to amaze me. It even made it into a StarTrek episode.
Divodurum! my town singled out on a BazBattle intro map! My day is made!
A much needed video on the Drusus Campaigns that are largely absent from other CZcamsrs' Caesarian collections. ⚔️
Terrific video! It's amazing how this channel has developed and improved over the last few years.⚔🔥🙌
It good to have you back
Bazz battle been poppin with frequent videos recently and I'm here for it
Just sat down with a huge breakfast, and was looking for something to watch while I ate.
Nice surprise to find some baz!
Thank you for using BC and AD instead of fake ones
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! PLEASE DO MORE ROMAN BATTLES! stay safe.
It's amazing how many prominet historical figures "fell off a horse". Most of them even literally. It must have been a daunting time.
I guess they leave out the part a spear or arrow made him fall of😅
Yeah and now they get "epsteined", "fell from window", "shot himself"..
Many prominent political figures of our times die in car crashes (princess Diana, Bassel al-Assad) or even plane crashes (Lech Kaczynski). Travel is dangerous, and has always been so.
i think in most cases it was probably true, I mean fell of a horse is no joke nowadays, imagine back then when they had so little medical knowledge
I read that Drusus wrote a letter smack talking Augustus and how they should return to the Republic :O Since he had the loyalty of the legions, it isn't hard to imagine he could have made a move :o
Drusus was not just a general but also and important character in the story of the first emperors of Rome as well, he married Antonia Minor (Mark Antony's daughter) One of his sons bore the nickname Germanicus for his father's accomplishments and his other son Claudius who conquered much of Britain, had a son called Britanicus (for his father's accomplishment too).
Claudius is the emperor right
I should be preparing for a test but Bazbattles just uploaded
Love it when I open youtube and see Baz posted a new one! Thanks for your wonderful work :)
Always love your videos and style, been watching since like 2016
Lol i started rewatching some older Videos a couple days and now you uploaded a new Video. Letsgo
Baz uploading makes my day :)
Thanks so much for the content!
Nice! I'm thinking of alternatate history where Drussus survived his fall from a horse and, at only 30, could possibly have changed history.
Dude, you have an accurate map of the low countries. Good job
God this is such a good channel. I’ve been following you for years dude so glad to see you posting again :)
You guys are great as always !
"The second part of his plan was to be executed by his step-son, Nero Claudius Drusus... who was tasked with establishing strong bridgeheads east of the river..." hits a little different in the initial part of the sentence than say "The second part of his plan was to establish strong bridgeheads east of the river. This would be executed by his step-son Nero Claudius Drusus."
Who else thought he meant that the man was about to get whacked like some Roman mafia scheme?
Oh yeah, I definitely heard the same. XD Had to go to the comments to see if someone else did.
I did a double take to see what emperor it was because I was thinking wait Augustus didn’t get executed 😂
I regularly watch the Alexander The Great Playlist. Literally just finished it once again, then this was posted. Sweet. Good stuff man. 👏
Thank you for the update
God i missed that intro. Good to see you uploading again Baz, I've binged watch all of your videos and it really felt like ages since your last upload.
Babe, wake up, a new BazBattles video just dropped
Another wonderful video. Congratulations
Great to see you upload
I am so glad you're uploading regularly again
I love Baz, my fear is this; the algorithm is not pushing these videos enough and views are on the decline, Income must not be that high or enough to keep this channel running for that long? I hope Baz keeps getting sponsorships or that CZcams Pushes these videos more. I LOVE YOU BAZ!!!
I'm a simple man.I see a BazBattles video, I upvote.
thank you for your work, nice battle
It's a great weekend WHEN a baz video is uploaded 😊
This was such a good video did anyone else also see how good that anamiations were it is so rediciolous how good you can get anamation to look like.
Always a good day when my favorite channel posts a new video. Keep up the good work. Algorithm has been fed
Love the videos! 🎉🎉
Yes! Glad to see a new video!!
Good telling about not well known battles. Thank you.
Love your videos !!
Thanks for the video
Just what I need on a slow workday…
A short video but well done and an interesting topic. Thanks 👍
Good to see you again Baz.
Great video!
Is there any chance that you'll ever make videos about the Spanish civil war? It would be really cool I think, it's got such an interesting history.
Very nice documentary!
Yay baz is back 🎉
"Chief, we spotted a Roman Legion marching east of the Rhine!"
*Polka music and pretzel eating stops*
The heavily-armored legionnaires were simply outmatched by the lighter, more maneuverable bees.
happy to see you again
Awesome video
WOO Another BazzBattles!
Awesome!
oh today is a good day, great vid my man
If Baz posts you know its gonna be good
Thanks Baz
Congratulations! Best CZcams chanel!!!
These videos are so addicting and educational
Every day BazBattles posts is a good day
I love this show
BazBattles your my hero!
God I love watching rectangles
Drusus really was popular with the soldiers. In Moguntiacum (Mainz), they built a monument for him (apparently by themselves and on their own initiative), not far from where live.
Keep up the good work
Awesome!!
New Baz battles? I'll be watching with my son at dinner. Already cooking.
classic BAZ!!!
"Spared the Romans out of contempt."
Like that makes sense....
Baz Battles' the Best!
Please do more Roman History!!
Speaking of the battle of Teutobourg forest, what happened to your video of it?
1:17 I guess that is where the term LOL comes from.
Yes! More amazing roman Victories! Thank you for this!
Your vids are👍. Keep going😊
I wanna see you do Agincourt or Crecy next!!
I always wonder, the later roman's inability to tame Germania - was it a testament to how good the first tyrant Caesar was as an enslaver or is it a statement to how unconquerable the frozen north is
Neither. The Romans didn’t see much economic value in Germany as far as the Elbe River, and were content with holding the Rhine River instead for centuries, establishing provinces in both the Rhineland and Bavaria further south where they founded what is now the city of Augsburg (and other cities further north like Mainz, Trier, and Cologne). They clearly viewed the British Isles as more financially appealing (especially for tin and iron mining) since they conquered most of Great Britain. They built the Limes Germanicus series of forts from the Rhine to the Danube Rivers but in Britannia they built Hadrian’s Wall in what would become northern England and the Antonine Wall in what would become the Scottish Lowlands.
The answer is simple. It was unprofitable for Rome to master and maintain Germania. An primeval, underdeveloped territories devoid of urban centers, but settled by a poor, savage and aggressive population, lacked profitable sources of resources to exploit (such as the Gallic and Dacian gold deposits). Simply put, the costs exceeded the expected profits.
But there would still always be someone hoping to find glory and get an imperator claim through conquest. Antony and krassus for example lost their legacies roaming into the desert for this glory. Even if its some young general looking to seek this glory, why didn't they conquer Germania. The only thing I can think of is that the land of Germania is untamable. Frozen wastelands causing massive attrition. Kinds like what Russia did to the Reich and napoleon
@@shadhinov U have very romantic view of history....
@@ericconnor8251 i mean Gallia and Britannia is also said to not be that profitable, yet Romans hold it for centuries. It's a testament that Germania inflicts higher costs to Romans compared to those regions.
Love the Rome total war music, real nostalgia
Woah, thought Baz disappeared, I'm pleasantly surprised
Drusus sounds like a great "what if" emperor
I feel like we're getting spoiled at this point. Great work!
welcome back
