This was a very fun fort for us to recreate, and we hope you enjoyed a dive into the ancient Eastern Roman frontier!
Our next model will be on a 2nd century naval fort on the Rhine! It will be a great addition to this series.
If interested, click the bell notification to stay updated when it comes out.
good job guys
I absolutely love these models and their breakdown. Not to many history channels bother with recreating buildings and structures, only battles. Please do many more of them.
@John Grigg May Filaxim correct me if I say something inappropiate or out place. Our stance towards the war in Ukraine is 100% with peace. That said, we don't want to deviate into modern politics and events. We are just a roman history channel because we all love roman history 😊
@John Grigg You just asked the worst guy for that sorry 🤣. I take history professionaly and I can't imagine what if scenarios. It's just impossible to me 😂. Now asking your question... Caesar would surely would have considered if it benefited him and aligned with his ambitions
@John Grigg Indeed... but unfortunately I'm a professional historian. If society expects something from me it's a grounded and logical analysis 🤣. Going into the "what if" territory is the fastest way for a professional suicide 😂
"what have the Romans ever done for us??!!"
on a more serious note: This video is a gem.
Civil engineer, here.
Love these videos on forts. Please do focused videos on roads, drainage, and water supply infrastructure.
Amazing, Roman History is just so beautiful
Especially when the city was sacked. Very lovely.
@@hunnerat-touaregi4439 you sound like a real joy to share history with
@@richardrisner3635 you'd be surprised Mr Richard
@@hunnerat-touaregi4439 Maybe Islamic history? Even then, there is only so much and, in a lifetime, you can read enough Islamic history to know everything by memory...
beautiful isn't the word I would use absolutely barbaric would be a better description for the romans
Another amazing, detailed video from Filaxim Historia. Thank you once again, this is a real treat! Definitely a favorite channel.
Thank you for the kind words. Very happy you enjoyed!
@@HistoriaMilitum please do Arabian warfare

0:39 Yes I was already writing a comment then noticed your post. *Very interesting.* I only ever played (and much enjoyed) Caesar I (on Amiga) and Caesar III (on PC), never Caesar II. Many of the buildings seen here look like improved Caesar I-ones, or modified Caesar II-ones. I will definetely check this game out, I loved many of Impressions' games. I *still play Pharaoh* and occacionally Caesar III.
Love these videos, also, first.
Super cool video!
i can't wait to see the next video! thank you for all your hard work
The quality, as always, is outstanding, one of the best channels on youtube for sure
Amazing representation. Thanks for such an effort and dedication to portray those roman buildings. I would like not wait for the next 3D model, but I will do it.
Glad you have a sponsor, you deserve it mate! 👍
Excellent work Gentlemen here
Well done
Amazing video.!! Awesome insight.!!
Interesting how they set the tone in a way for up and coming medieval castles
I was lucky enough to visit this fort in recent weeks and this video was amazing. Thank you.
This channel is so underappreciated.
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, we will!
@@HistoriaMilitum please do on queen mavia
Keep these historical videos coming. Thank you
Yayy new vid you seem to have great timing as i was teching my brother on this subject yesterday lol
ROMA VICTRIX !!!
Commenting for the algorithm and saving this for later for some quality me-time. Cheers Filaxim
Haha, thank you! Hope you enjoy it ;)
Great content as always! ❤
Thank you for your support! 😊
Fantastische Festung, sieht Toll und sehr Modern aus, alles ist gut Durchdacht, schön gemacht.
All the right angles of this periods defensive architecture looks so aesthetically pleasing to me.
Looking forward to more!.
Cavalry barracks doubling as its own fort, very nice, compact setup :)
Great documentary. And I love the music used. I instantly recognized it from the game Praetorians from the early 2000's. An oldie and goodie.
keep up the great work
My like and comment. Love these videos
Very cool. Would love to have heard some stories such as battles, about the fort.
Love your content man
Yes sirr
Ayo this video is crazy good!
Thank you, friend ;)
wow amazing video you have created. it would be great if you could create another video that shows us also the insight of such a cool fort.
great overview
Love these kind of vids
Great video
Very well done
Epik video
Later on, Greek and Latin speakers used the word "Saraquen" to describe; first the arabs and then any muslim as a whole. I find it interesting to know it came from that tribe. In Spanish the word used to describe the Muslims during medieval time was: Sarraceno, and Sarraï in Català. This happened around 1000 years later than the time period related this video. I always thought it was a word originated and only used in the Iberian peninsula, the more you know....
edit: typos..
The more surprised you can get hahaha. It's like the spanish word "moro" for muslim or north african, which comes from the evolution of the latin word "mauri", a inhabitant of Mauritania.
Comes from bigotry and ignorance and if not that then straight up convenience or ease, either way humans muddying the water like this screws us later humans and historians/historical records down the line, soo sucks.
@@cjclark2002 Sorry but I think this was an etimological debate, discussing the evolution of words, nothing about race nor identity or politics. Let us keep history away from modern day politics and subjectiveness as much as possible
@@JonEtxebeberriaRodriguez It gets even weirder, being a former Spanish colony (thus influenced by Spain), Filipino Muslims appropriated the word "Moro" as a way of referring to themselves!
@@road-eo6911
They didn't "appropriate" the word. The Spanish explorers who first noticed them to be Muslims called them "Moros" as that was the name they used for all Muslims, Moors or otherwise
great video!!!
Thank you ;)
Amazing how medieval it looks.
so basically everything goes back to the Romans.
It would be really nice if you created also the model of the Babylon Fort now in Cairo with its great circular towers.
Awesome video! Will you do a video on roman forts on the Roman-Sassanid frontier?
A excellent use of space by the Romans
Music from the Praetorians. Nice touch! :)
It’s pretty neat that it was used for its original purpose like 2000 years later
Love it, but legion documentary's are the best
I don't suppose you can do a video on roman camel cavalry
That's a good idea. I'll consider covering the mounted units in the future!
Cool!!
Muito bom 🇧🇷👍🏻👍🏻
Interesting time period of the Roman Empire. Especially on the Eastern Frontier.
Very cool book:
"Lest darkness fall"
A modern scholar of Roman history is hit by lightening and suddenly is in Rome. That's all the explanation we get. However, he goes on to invent brandy (big money maker, quick), paper, stirrups for horses, all kinds of essential items and starts playing politics.
The author wrote it while WW II was breaking out.
Can you please make a in depth video on Roman tax collection, especially relating to Egypt
wow! how Praetorians soundtrack make this video better ❤
A fellow man of culture hahaha. I was a huge fan of Praetorians back in the day. It's a hidden gem for nostalgics of old RTS fans.
the 5 cutscenes of this game fascinate me when I was young!
Caesar III, Knights of Honor also great Old RTS games
@@DJOUKBALA I always loved the desert cinematic even if it was completely inaccurate hahaha. Never played Caesar III nor Knights of Honor, but Imperial Glory it's another hidden gem with a great soundtrack. Together with Commnados it was the golden age of the spanish videogame industry 😁
Great video! Do you know if the 3D model of this fort and Vindolanda are available for download?
So Qasr -> Castle?
This looks like a simple and fun build to do in minecraft.
It's not a coincidence that these people are called Saracieni..or SARACENS
"Imperial ducks" hahaha
Man it would have been funny if it went quack after he said 'ducks'
Yes i know he said 'dux' however the caption was ducks
Wow a fossilized roman fortress. I just hope the future generation will still see it.
Don't the holes on the inside wall mean there was a wooden structure on the inside? maybe an awning was held up by wooden beams there against the caustic desert sun? or were they just for ventilation?
Your idea is quite possible I must say. But the archaeological reports stated it was for ventilation since there would have been a ladder inside to move between the different floors of the barracks
This dude used the background music of the awesome game pretorians! Its so underrated! Check it out!
I don't suppose you have the models you used and could publish? .blend files if you are using blender, or STL, 3DS, STOP, MAX, OBJ, or other file I could import?
Is the background music from the game Praetorians?
It is :)
There is a large cistern as well easily seen near this fort, I am currently mapping all forts military unit locations on Google earth Mobene was quite interesting :)
The fort itself is presented from 4:55
Nothing has changed regarding the Saraceni region today
Wasn't it Judea and Syria ?
funny, the holy land you called it. For the Romans you mean?
qard hadats?
🤠👍🏿
A “medieval” castle in ancient times, wow! Absolutely high tech! Too bad the name of the architect seems to have been lost to history.
I do believe the word "Defiles" is better pronounced def a Lay.
*Do my ears detect mvsic from the legendary bvt VERY vnknown game of PRAETORIANS?!*
*Dear me, you are trvly men of the highest cvltvre.* :')
Was a huge fan back in the day hahaha. You sir are a man of culture as well 😉
@@JonEtxebeberriaRodriguez If there were more factions and unit diversity etc (not just “Barbarians” lumped together or Parthia/Egypt being the same faction lol) it’d probably be my favourite game.
Has to sit behind Rome Total War for me though.
@@youvebeengreeked Same here. But for the time it was a good game and very fun to play :) It was also the first introduction to great Caesarean characters hahaha
What kind of sports could soldiers do. We got football hocky tennis others. They got time offs to do something of sports
Aren t those dacians? [dac]s is just like the romanian singular "dac" with the plural singal "s". Also their stindard and it's name are the same.
You mean the name Dux? It's a late roman official nomenclature. And the draco standard was incorporated to the roman cavalry units after the Dacian Wars
No, Dac refers to the home planet of the Mon Calamari and Quarren.
That's a joke. 😁
Who else is feeling massive Morrowind nostalgia
Saraceni means theaf in Arabic
Do you speak French ?
Plebs are needed!
« Holy Land » ???
Holy Land or Judea or Palestine or Southern Syria
1:39 even in ancient times people say Philadelphia is a great city
Given the data you present I cannot accept your notion that this fort was a garrison fort. How exactly did this fort handle its logistics arrangements? The shear amount of food needed day to day for 100+ soldiers is surprisingly large, never mind the fodder for the horses. There is no way that the remaining stonework was the entirety of the fort complex: not unless there was a much larger logistical supply base within a relatively short distance! If such long-term logistical arrangements did not exist and the fort complex did not extend beyond the surviving stonework, then the only logical conclusion would be that the fort was a patrol base that was only occupied for short periods of time, say no more than a few days at any one time, while the cavalry was on maneuvers and would subsequently need a resupply mission prior to the next patrol! I suppose it's possible the fort had a small garrison, perhaps one or two 5-man teams but just looking at the map and the fort ruins is enough to call into question your conclusions about how exactly this fort was used.
DEF-iles
You’re pronouncing Saraceni wrong. You are pronouncing that c like a k in that spelling the c makes an “s” sound.
Not trying to be extra critical; just helpful. No hate. Great video over all though!
What you call the Holy Land didn't exist during Roman era....
mobile game on steam 💀
The Italian Army still uses these, but instead of using them to house horses they use them to house tanks.
This is a joke.
did this dude just seriously say "The lands of the barbarians"?
Love the vid, unfortunately that sponsor is just another base build/p2p kind of mobile game, like Rise of Kingdoms. If it proves popular it’ll develop whales and wallet sucking staff.
Broken sound
So terribly sad what Muslims have done to the world.
brah, dux is "dooks", not "ducks". and "saracheni" instead of "sarakeni". sry but it's really jarring when you're doinig a historical piece and keep pronouncing important terms wrong.
