- In this video I will be going over the second half of the history of these Spaniards from Baetica, who earned their place in History through their great efforts and loyalty to their general.
I would greatly appreciate any support you would like to give this channel, as it will help me create more quality content for you in the future!

This is 100% true. Proper training gives you the confidence you need to win. It gives you confidence in your fellow soldiers and in your equipment.
10th: give us all these wages after years of hard work and brutal war we aint doing anything more
Caesar: 'cItiZenS'
10th:say no more fam lets invade africa
It's funny because the oversimplification steals from the sincere weight of his words, and mocks the effectiveness of perspective
Hail Caesar
The man was not only a battlefield genius but a consummate politician, gifted orator, and creative propagandist.
@@alexanderfaust4192 i want to see Caesar vs Alexander lol
@@legionx4046 They were both brilliant commanders, but the phalanx wasn't effective against the legions structure as they were by Caesars time. Caesar would've just avoided giving them battle on a terrain favorable to the phalanx. Alexander would've done the same, just in reverse, and it would have come down to them trying to maneuver to force the other to take the field (raiding foraging parties, towns, supply trains, etc.) And there's really no telling who would've come out on top in this; two armies of different styles, but both formed of battle hardened, prideful veterans, both led by one of the greatest commanders in history. Too tough to call I'd say.
the 13 dislikes are from Labienus and his bodyguards
Lol
Do You Wanna Go Bro👊🏾😂!?
The bodyguards are growing in number, we need to deal with them ASAP.
Well said
Titus Labienus, was from a Village , Cingulum ( nowdays Cingoli) , close to my town Macerata in Marche region , central Italy, at that time called Picenum. There Is a statue in the public Square of Cingoli of Titus by the way. The reason why Titus choose to be on Pompeus side is simple, Pompeus was also from Picenum, a town called Firmum ( actual Fermo) ,so a fellow citizen of Pompeus. He decided practically to be a patriot from his point of view. Many similar episodes happened in the american civil war too, general f.i. Lee did something similar despite his personal ideas.
You ever feel so shameful because you got called a *CITIZEN*
All the time...
@@HistoriaMilitum while I have you, I'm wondering what legion you're planning to work on next, now this is not me rushing you, just curious so I can read about them in advance
@@magicalmagicmagician5223 I will post a poll tomorrow and let all of you vote on which Legions next. Cheers!
Would you like to know more ?
Man any warriors will feel the same
I just imagine Crastinus must have been the highest ranked soldier in the whole roman army at that point and also the most battle experiences, and wonder if he did not just sacrifice him self in battle like you sayd amongs his loved commrads understanding this would be among his last battles, wanting to end it fighting with the men he had led for 16 years to glory rather than facing the civilian life that probably did not suit him. What a man, and what a life he must have led.
3 videos in and already my favorite channel, keep the great work up and you will be huges my friend👍👌💪
I would definitely rank him as the most experienced centurion in Rome at his time! An amazing character, and very mysterious how he gave up his chance to live out his life in peace.. Perhaps you are right, he wanted to go down fighting. I am very honored to be your favourite! I wish to see you in the next one!
@@HistoriaMilitum you definitely will, at this point im just fascinated with him. Hope you have the time and resources to impliment characters like him, if fitting that is, in more of your futuer videos... gives it a dynamic so much more that just the canvas history of a legion
@@HistoriaMilitum Many of those Romans were very prideful, they understood as much as anyone that the life blood of Rome was in war. He likely martyr’d himself, so that after he fell his men would fight even harder.
@@SteveSmith-ty8ko That's very likely exactly what he did.
Crastinus' apparent suicidal charge at the head of the volunteers into Pompey's I legion, and his speeches before it, seem to me to indicate a '*devotio*' on his part. In case you didn't know, a devotio was an ancient Roman tradition where generals would take off their armour, change into a ceremonial robe handed him by a pontifex, stand on a spear and, and, in front of this priest and his men, recite a prayer to the gods, mid-battle, offering his own life so that his side would triumph in the end, in an act of deliberate self-martyrdom in times of extreme need, in an effort to turn the tables when battles were looking very bleak and for all intents and purposes, unwinnable. They would then charge straight into the enemy lines knowing full well that this was a suicide mission. However this would have some unintended (or, intended) side-effects. The soldiers witnessing this would be inspired and gain a massive boost to their morale, fighting even harder than before. And the enemy soldiers would actually flee thinking that this man was surely possessed by the gods, to do such an act, and killing him, thereby making him a martyr, would bring a curse upon their army that would result in them losing the battle. If that were even possible, for he would fight with such ferocity, knowing that this would be his last stand, that the (ever superstitious) people of antiquity may have thought that he was quite literally imbued with the power, strength and wrath of the gods, in return for his life just offered. (The saying: 'a tiger is most dangerous when cornered with no escape' comes to mind).
Instances where the devotio was used as far as we know, always resulted in victory. Consul Publius Decimus Mus was most likely the first to invoke it, during the Samnite wars in 340 BC. Interestingly his son and grandson, in sort of a family tradition, also invoked the devotio. Though after this, it became increasingly rare; perhaps this is why Crastinus' own sacrifice, especially if it constituted a traditional and authentic _devotio_ (the sources are vague on whether or not this is the case) inspired such zeal in the Caesarian lines that it galvanised them enough to win the battle, from a much weaker position no less.
So I think what Crastinus, as the most senior figure in the Caesarian army (besides Caesar himself) was doing, was hearkening back to this ancient tradition, willingly sacrificing himself so that his side may win, and that is, indeed, exactly what happened.
I can imagine Crastinus and his volunteers fought like lions as they smashed into the enemy. Knowing that you will die...and the only thing that matters is what you do in the little time remaining to you is likely very freeing.
The individual Leg X veteran taking out the horse with a javelin after stepping forward with a rebuke defending his honor...if accurate, that sounds like a great example of glory in war.
This was truely amazing. I have been a big fan of Caesar for over 30 years. Read the bello galico so many times I lost count. So i consider myselfas a bit of an expert on this subject and I could not find any flaws or incorrections here. Your graphic storytelling and visual narrative, are so much fun to watch as well. I take my hat off and bow to you. Keep making these vids and I might very well have a new favorite channel. So many many thanks and greetings from The Netherlands.
This means a lot coming from a History enthusiast! The works of Caesar are a personal favourite of mine as well. I hope to see your opinion on my next video as well. Cheers!
Please sir, keep your head on. Take your hat off but not your head!!
@@michaelsanders7484 Well thank you for your concern Michael. I almost lost my head over this video.
@@Gaius-Julius-Civilis haha you’ve got to edit that man! Have a good day
Agreed. I have watched this video multiple times and absolutely love it. Great job Flaxim Historia!
The X is just unstoppable, unbelievable how Caeser deploys the same tactic over and over and still wins.
Truly a great combination, a charismatic general and honorable men
reminds me of star wars clone wars 501st legion. 😃
That Caesar managed to make the 10th so incredibly loyal to him that they wilfully took any risk as long as he ordered it, is crazy. And the fact that they made it work against all odds so many times is even more crazy.
The balls on that guy javelining the horse were massive enough to protect from 10 legions worth of javelins. Reminds me of that battle somewhere in france where the spaniard emissary said they would talk about capitulation after death.
🔥🔥
When I make a video on a Legion, I try and go into detail only in the battles it greatly influenced. As you can tell by the length of these 2 parts, the 10th Equestris was quite the dominant Legion in almost every one of Caesar's battles! I hope I painted a picture of just how much of Caesar's reputation was built on this legion alone... The Roman Legions need more respect!
I want to thank everyone for the support you gave me! You will forever be more than mere "citizens" to me! ;)
No, you did good work in this history, and show very detailed like the other X legion is not the same. Is very difficult to do it, because the legions have a lot of History, 200-300 years are normal for them. with time I hope to see in this channel the most long-lived legion.
Hail Filaxim!
Ave Roma!
ave Filaxim Historia!
Your content is so underrated you deserve a lot more subs :)
Love you work and please dont stop! Are you going to be doing a video on the XI legion? I was wondering because I'm trying to find out whether that's the legion Quintus Tulius Cicero was in during the Ambiorix rebellion.
Dude... This is so fucking cool. You literally told the full story of the most famous roman military unit of all time!
As a Spaniard I am proud of the brave Spanish legions.
Sorry, as Spaniard, I think that they were Romans... Between them and us, the people mixed races with Germans, Jewish, Arabs... and other minor races (like Japanese in 1600). After living more than 10 years aboard, I miss how different and yet similar are the Spaniards, is one of those places that you don't feel the racism because all of us are mixed between all the people that live in the country in the past.
@@loodwich the 9th "hispana" name gives it away. The 10'th levied by Gius Julius Caesar 🤚hail 🙋♂️ hail when he was governor of Hispania Ulterior were soldiers from that region not sailed in from Rome or Japan !!
@@loodwich what a fanny 🤣
As you should be. They were a very strong and tough people.
@@loodwich first jews and arabs are not races and Romans were there mixing before
This channel reminded me of Historia Civilis when it was just starting with the narration and mic. And also tackling very interesting topics from Roman History.
I can't wait for your future videos since your series feels a bit more a "Band of Brothers" rather than a documentary.
I'm an honored by such an interesting comparison! Thanks a lot for your support!
@@HistoriaMilitum Yes very much looking forward to future content!
By the way, while watching this video an interesting historical footnote you may be interested in occurred to me:
Crastinus' apparent suicidal charge at the head of the volunteers into Pompey's I legion, and his speeches before it, seem to me to indicate a *'devotio'* on his part. In case you didn't know, a devotio was an ancient Roman tradition where generals would take off their armour, change into a ceremonial robe handed him by a pontifex, stand on a spear and, in front of this priest and his men, recite a prayer to the gods, mid-battle, in an act of deliberate self-martyrdom in times of extreme need, in an effort to turn the tables when battles were looking very bleak and for all intents and purposes, unwinnable. They would then charge straight into the enemy lines knowing full well that this was a suicide mission. However this would have some unintended (or, intended) side-effects. The soldiers witnessing this would be inspired and gain a massive boost to their morale, fighting even harder than before. And the enemy soldiers would actually flee thinking that this man was surely possessed by the gods, to do such an act, and killing him, thereby making him a martyr, would bring a curse upon their army that would result in them losing the battle.

@@J3diMindTrix You are right about devotio, and I made sure to hint it in the video; that he could have been self-sacrificing.
What is pain?
I have been waiting for this so much!
Me too! I love this Chanel so much
Me to cuz lol
I love making videos for you more! I am very satisfied that you enjoyed it.
Same here !
@@HistoriaMilitum I can't reward u with cash yet but i can with info. Please look into the crypto currency called polkadot. Its creator is the co creator of ethereum dr gavin wood. Its ticker is DOT. The day i cash out i will go to your patreon and settle this bill i owe u for the vids. Your better than history channel and your only starting. Lol. Can't wait for your vids dude. Keep it up.
I can't believe how detailed this video is. All those edits and clips are perfectly matched!!! I'm even more interested in Rome history now ;)
I am very glad to hear that my work has paid off. in this channel we could always use more people interested in Rome. Cheers!
More interested? These vids are going to make us Legionnaires!
@@9and7 Equestrians* lol
@@Harryjay6 What?
@@9and7 like when Caesar's centurion joked that Caesar was going to make them Equestrians because of the thing where he had the X Legion use the Gallic cavalry's horses for his meeting with Eriovistas(sp)
What a legendary legion. Much Respect to Caesar and the X Legion.
Really goes to show how important experience, discipline, and morale are to an army.
I watched part 1 TWICE today.. have been bummed all day thinking I’ll have to wait a while for part 2. You sir have not only made my day, but also my night. Keep up the good work
I am very glad to hear that! Yes, I should have specified exactly when I will be uploading it..
See you in the next one, friend!
This video saved me from crippling depression! I'm happy to say that I'm finally out of my wheelchair and strutting around my house, wearing a joyful grin as I do so.

@@lglubbock7593 true story bro
NO SIR, WE SHOULD THANK YOU for such an awesome documentary about the Xth, titans of the ancient world.
Those lads were fucking legends RIP X Equestris
Great video. The legion by legion format is a great way to cover topics already done to death by other channels. Keep em coming please!
That's exactly my strategy. Glad you enjoy it!
How inspiring to be guided by a sense of honor. We must reawaken these noble principles.
How can we? We let the mercantile class take over.
Let's not reawaken the ideology of dying and murdering for a class of aristocratic slaveholders.
A fair point
I've watched this video countless times.
I watched Invicta's Critical Moments - Caesar vs the Mutiny of the Legions and while Invicta's work is good, I feel Filaxim Historia's video with Caesar's speech really hits that emotional mark.
Filaxim Historia as always I thank you for your hard work to bring us such grand videos!
Amazing work
Would love to hear more stories of Roman legions, the legio V Alaudae personally raised by Caesar of gallic legionnaires or the XXI Deitorana the only legion raised by a foreign nation then incorporated to the army
I have a lot of information stacking up about those 2 Legions, and I can't wait to make videos on them, they were pretty fascinating. I will be posting polls where people can vote for which legion I should upload next. Make sure to vote these!
You forgot to mention why the battle of dyrrachium was lost. Cesar withdrew the tenth from his right to reinforce where his line was breaking. When the other legions saw the tenth abandon the right they thought they were retreating and fled in panic.
Edit to say that the tenth needs a movie... I want to know more about the people of the tenth, I know practically everything about Cesar.
a miniseries about Legio X Equistris, like Band of Brothers and Rome mixed together
@@MarvinT0606 holy shit. I didn't know how bad I need this until you said it. It would be epic.
Amazing content. I’m myself an italian paratrooper soldier, and on a wall of my barracks there’s a painting of roman legion fighting. We still get inspired by them and their values
I love how he literally shamed the everloving hell out of an entire army into fighting for him again
This was honestly one of the most factual and interesting and well scripted documentaries I have ever listened to. Subscribed. Thank you
Yes, finally! The series continues.
As promised, my 77th ;)
@@HistoriaMilitum Thanks so much, the use of total war is also amazing. The scale of these battles are sometimes insane like Dyrrhachium.
Your videos are the most informative and least pretentious in there respective category on CZcams. Keep them coming, man. :)
I am flattered to hear that, your support and opinion is much needed. Cheers to you!
The details that went into the thought process in making those tactical decisions is just brilliantly presented.
Thank You.
You're most welcome!
Great video! Like you said, this is giving another perspective of the battles. Can't wait for the next one !
Right on brother been waiting for this video. Thanks for what you do for us.
God Bless brother
Keep em coming man, I can't get enough of this kind of stuff
It is also very fascinating to me! I have a lot of information on other legions, and I can't wait to make more. Cheers!
Loving these! Looking forward to learning about the thirteenth! Thanks for putting the effort in making these.
I cant recall the last time I commented on a video, but you make some absolute terrific and amazing content which deserves an applause!
Thought you should know that. Solid 10/10!!!
Well received. Thank you, friend!
Really amazing storytelling skills aswell, couldn't wait for this part 2. Great job!
I had to rewrite the script many times over to get this, I'm glad you appreciated it. Cheers!
The depth and detail of information here and the visuals are amazing. I have not seen a better production of Roman military history on any television documentaries. Really very impressive
I absolutely love your videos man, finally a channel that does this kind of stuff, hope one day you do my favorite legions, the IIII Flavia Felix and the XII fulminata. Great Videos mate!!
Well done! Thank you Filaxim Historia.
thank you sooo much. Read many books and watched countless videos about Caesar, but your attention to detail (and amazing story telling!) is outstanding
I have been waiting for this!
I've never been instersted in history until I have your channel. This was what I was missing all these years.
I really appreciate your effort! What you do is truly amazing
I loved every second of this! Great job
Been thorooughly enjoying your series of the roman legions analyses. These brave, loyal, and disciplined common folks of the roman military machine are often overlooked and sometimes even underrated.
You, my good sir, bought such an insightful tiny little details in such an good production quality ❤️👍. Nice touch there using Rome 2 Total War as a base visual description too.
Thank you for another interesting video. I love your little series about the Roman legions. The videos are really incredibly well researched and you explain all the details really well. I hope you will do more of them.
with all the hype that you put on the previous video i got to say both of them are beautifully made , i hope more to come .
Niiiiiiiiiiiice!!!!!!!!👍🏼
I'm subbed to roughly 300 channels over the past 7 years this is one of only 9 channels i set up for notifications!
I been waiting for this second part.
Wow I very much appreciate the enthusiasm. I will keep them coming!
The historical facts presented in a very interesting and entertaining way! Awesome man!
Greets, T.
Thank you so much for the immense amount of detailed information! Sometimes, historys are told in a general way, but this was awesoem
YES!! I've been waiting for this all day! I'm at work sadly so I'll have to wait until after I get home to watch it in full. If it's as good as your previous videos, I already know I'll love it.
Great to hear that, I really hope you enjoy it!
@@HistoriaMilitum i loved every minute of it.
Was waiting for it desperately! 👌👌😍
I have been eagerly waiting for this and your channel exploded! I remember when you only had 70 subs! Congrats on the success and another job well done!
And I remember your support and enthusiasm from the very start, friend. Thank you so much for that!
Huge thanks for making these videos!
That Rome total war touch was brilliant.
I've been waiting for this video and I wasn't disappointed.
You deserve many more subscribers than you have, this is very well made and digestible.
I love ancient history, specifically military history since that often explains the "how" things happened (for much of human history), but damn its wild from a 21st century mindset.
Its gnarly stuff, its not like a few deployments today, you fly in, meet new guys, then a few months later youre back home....these men were on foot infantry for 20+ years with the same men around them, becoming closer than youre blood family, before being able to retire.
Walking from one end of europe to the other multiple times, countless battles/sieges/river crossings (fairly frequently cutting down a forrest and building a bridge from scratch, then disassembling it behind them just to prove a point)
Its near impossible for us to imagine the hardships they went through, the loyalty or camaraderie they felt for eachother and their commanders, who went through it with them all those years. The brutality they endured and the brutality they inflicted.
I mean Im not even 30 and everyday I can feel what 15 years of blue collar work and such has done to my body. I havent felt 100% healthy since I was 12. Wtf did these men put up with like it was nothing?
People were just plain harder back then, the things we complain about were a universal understanding as a fact of life for them. Aint got no time for feelings, gotta focus on survival.
Excellent job on my favourite legion. Crastinus probably did devotio, devotion of life to underground gods to secure a victory. Decii gens was known for this in the time of early and middle republic. At Veseris, at Sentinum and facing Pyrhhus at Ausculum. Keep up the good work and greetings from a fellow history teacher! ✌🏻
So excited about this channel! Its going to be huuugggeee! I'd love to see a video about the first legion, Legio I Italica.
This was amazing dude. Got me hyped. Thanks
Amazing video, please do the 14th next, keep up the great quality!
14th is the most requested one so far, will definitely be up there soon!
Through time,a legend becomes a Myth.
And by learning from the Myth,a man takes action.
I really love these types of videos. They give credit not only to the successful leaders and generals at that time but also to the men that were responsible for their general's success. Julius Ceasar has been immortalized throughout history and should these brave men be as well
The 7th was always my favourite but the history of the 10th Equestria is awesome
Awesome stuff, thank you! Please keep it coming!
Dude, i love Roman Army history. All of it, from the square cook to the highly trained equestrian corp. that roamed the hills beating the brush and flaring up the battle. I enjoyed listening to your play by play. It really helps putting the right picture in mind and control the imagination of it all...well done.
I love the Corp. Of Legion Engineer, and how there was a blueprint on logistics and engineering, all while two armies square off.
Very nice
This has been a really awesome series so far.
what a great video man, a lot of information, really apreciated the video, thanks for you effort
Man you do a really good job with this series. I'm new here. Very entertaining and educational.
Awsome stuff, good job...you help by honoring the deeds and memories of these Warriors...so they can live on in history.
this was incredible. thank you for making this video.
Just came across your channel with part 1 of this series. Awesome videos! Looking forward to watching more of your content.
Amazing series I really enjoyed the presentation and speed. Thank you
These videos are amazing man! Well done!
Pretty great stuff. Thanks for all the hard work!
Terrific content! I look forward to your next one.
Great details and interesting new view again! I wish you all the success you`ll need to make it big here, you have my support!
Your support is much needed!
I have seen your videos about legio IX and X and I have to say I have never seen such a documentary about the ancient legions of rome with clarity, concise and backed up with evidences. Keep up the good work for now you have one more subscriber in me. And I got to say making documentaries focused on the legions of rome is a really great idea for youtube vids.
A lot of great CZcamsrs seem to focus on the general aspect of battle and Rome's history overall. As a huge fan of military units, I took the gamble that there might be more like me that are into this kind of deeper analyses, and started making videos. I am glad you are one of the people that shares a common interest with me. Thank you so much! I shall keep them coming.
Hey I love your doc's. All too often people talk about and treat individual soldiers and units like they are all just equal pawns for generals to command but as a combat veteran myself is nice to watch someone emphasize how the skill of the actual units matters so much. Great job
Great story and story telling, really enjoyed it thank you
Brilliant content so far, defo will grow big if this level of quality continues
thanks for this, brilliant quality documentary!
Yes king keep these coming
This is why I love videos like this, so much better than the history channel.
Love the Rome 2 : Total War Gameplay in the background to illustrate your story! Really well crafted.
Excellent video and detail! It’s obvious a lot of hard work has gone into the research for this. Thanks! It’d be great to hear about the frontier legions of the republic/empire at some point ;) ;)
Wow, one of the most fascinating historical subjects (at least to me) and one of my favorite video games combined. Subscribed...
These are so good, please keep it up
Another awesome contribution! Thank you!’
Very good work Im very happy to find this channel
I am certainly not an historical expert. But I am a huge historical enthusiast. I find your videos on Legio X, Equestris, parts one and two, to be the finest in my experience. Congratulations to you, sir. I have subscribed and will continue to watch for more content such as this. Thank you!!
This was great! Thank you for this upload.. I have subscribed.
Thank you that was really good enjoyed both first and last
