Can this channel beat Historia civilis in quality? Let us find out.
Ceasar Fans? LEGION ASSEMBLE, we have been summoned, we must cross the Rubicon as he wishes!
“Veni, Vidi, vicci” 👍
Please make bosnian war
Gauls: *breathes*
Julius Caesar: BUILD A BRIDGE NOW!!
Pretty much :D
When they ask Caesar why he's such a good general:
Caesar - "Just build bro."

"The crossing that had taken the Celts 20 days, had taken the Romans just one".
A proof that Romans were some great engineers. I always wondered how Romans passed their skills to their next generation. Where there public schools? How their education system worked overall? Might be a good topic.
Keep in mind tho, that the helvetii had women and children, farm animals, supplies and personal goods to ferry over.
"There was little the Romans couldn't do if led by a driven and able general" -Adrian Goldsworthy
@@kr33tz It was also a *large population of people that prided itself on its Marshall abilities.*
Feels bad
There were indeed public schools, but there Romans learned maths, history, Latin, geography, Greek, philosophy. Engineering was taught in apposite branches of the military training, as the engineers were a different military corp. Nontheless all standard legionaries knew how to build encampments and simple bridges
You couldn't give us a better gift for Christmas. Thanks!
@@humo89 Nope. A Polish-polish ha ha. I suspect you're referring to my first name, it actually is quite common among Western Slavs.
Merry Christmas! Always thought that Kamil is the later version of the Latin "Camillus".
Kings and Generals Exactly. It's most likely just a coincidence that it sounds exactly like Arabic/Turkish name Kamil. Although from what I know Kamil was quite popular name in the Ottoman Empire so maybe it did in come to Poland from there although I doubt it.

Kings and Generals you're getting better and better! Keep up the great work, you deserve way more subs than what you have!
Interesting trivia: Caesar noted down that the Helvetians wrote in Greek and that they had tablets of wax, same as in Rome.
They used Greek symbols to write in their own language.
These were found among Celts as far as Ireland. But we're mostly employed by Druids.
Some Gauls, especially in Cisalpine Gaul, used Etruscan script. Which evolved into the Rune (which ended up as far as Scandanavia)
Thank you for these. These remind me of the old History Channel show I used to watch called, "Decisive Battles." However, they used the first Rome: Total War game and it only lasted for 1 season. Fortunately for Total War and history fans, Kings and Generals have continued the tradition, whether it was intentional or not, with new and improved battles. Great job! Keep up the good work and keep making these documentaries!
Thank you very much, we will!
Thanks for sharing this. I love to watch old history channel shows.
*Asterix intensifies*
I see you are a man of culture
I wonder why no one is willing to speak about that one brave village. World is ready to know.
So Helvetiis are distant ancestors of modern Swiss? I am just amazed by the size of troops(60000 to 80000 warriors) they could raise from a tribe with a total population of 368000, which resonates my comment back in the Han-Xiongnu war when Xiongnu(believed to have a population around 3 to 5 million) managed to raise 400,000 troops in the siege of Baideng while Han was dwarfed with 320,000 troops even though Han's population was larger, around 13 million at that time. Tribal federations did have an advantage of levy ratio. But it's even more shocking how disciplined Caesar's army was. The Roman legions were outnumbered by a ratio between 1:2 and 1:3 even if you only consider the combatants, but they almost annihilated 2/3 of the entire tribal population during the campaign. They were really tough foes and shown us the strength of quality.
Btw, maybe you can consider doing a special episode regarding the evolution, and utilization of wagons or chariots in ancient wars? Many civilizations including the Boiis in this war, ancient Chinese in Han-Xiongnu war, and Hussites were active users of this powerful weapon. Not to mention ancient Egyptians and Hittites were probably among the earliest masters of these weapons, possibly due to early adoptions of bronze and iron.
Tribal society does mean more levies, but it also means lower quality and less specialists in every field which means bad equipment. Romans had incredibly superior armor compared to most Gauls. Technology-wise, it was almost like the British fighting the Zulu. Not to mention that tribal society limits the mining potential, which means that there is simply not enough available resources to make enough quality equipment.
@@GODOBER True, Roman heavy infantry were better trained and equipped with finest armors. I am just curious about how paradox would balance quality and quantity in the upcoming Imperator Rome. Maybe giving nomads/tribal federations levy ratio and maintenance bonus while rewarding civilizations that keep standing armies with better discipline?
@@MetalHeadViking Genetically, I think you are right. But I am just wondering if modern Swiss are still proud of this cultural lineage?
@@MetalHeadViking That makes sense. Thank you for the explanation! Unfortunately, I can't read Latin in most occasions though there are few exceptions that I can interpret the meaning of Latin sentences due to similarity with French, which is my third language at a non-proficient level( aka Caesar's famous quote: Veni, Vedi, Vici; venir, voir, vaincre, victoire)
@@GODOBER "Technology-wise, it was almost like the British fighting the Zulu"
Don't exagerate, fondamentally the Celts were master metalworkers, regarding that even the romans learnt some stuff from them (the celts as a whole I mean, not the helvetti in particular). Indeed, most couldn't have the same armors the Romans had, but the reasons were multiples.
The Zulu and the British were like, thousands of years apart. Even the Gauls were better armed and more advanced than the Zulus.
Nice touch using 2 maps, a main one and a smaller one. The fact that Caesar didn't use his newly formed legions shows how capable were the other 4. I know that those 4 fought under him on previews campaignes but still is impressive.
Since you might not upload another video, I want to wish all of you that make these videos possible Merry Christmas and keep up the great work.
Oh, we will upload more. :-) Still Merry Christmas!
@@KingsandGenerals I meant to say that you will not upload tomorrow but somehow I forgot to say it😆
Hi it's Rob from the future. He continues to upload videos every week sometimes more. I mainly stick his ancient stuff, sometimes midevil and occasionally the WWII videos. But none of the Russian/Ukrainian war because nobody has a true handle on what's going on there
what a great day today i bought caesar in gaul dlc for rome 2 and now kings and generals made a video about gallic wars
Stunning effects of legionary discipline. Waiting for more on the series...
Can you guys include a scale of how big a kilometre is relative to the battlefield?
We should!
Kings and Generals thank you! I don’t mean to complain it would just help with the understanding of how large these battles are
No, it is a good point and would be a good addition. Unfortunately, it is not always possible, but we will do it, whenever we can.
Banana for scale should be great

Not to be that guy... but shouldnt it be "Victrix"? Like in victoria, victory? Ugh, I already sound like my latin teacher, I know.
Fun fact in Greek when you say someone is Swiss you say someone is Helvetos
Nothing new here , in many languages they are designated like that, such as Romanian.
And Greek is the only remaining language where "France" is named as a variant of "Gallia" (except for ecclesiastic latin, if you want to take into account Vatican diplomacy - fun fact : Vatican is the only country that considers the seat of power in France is still Lyon - like in roman times)

Not completly related to the video, but I really love how the romans used forts & other engineering-projects in an offensive way. Other people could build good forts & so but very rarely used more than to station the troops during marches. The romans changed the battlefields with them, and Ceasar excelled at it.
Yes! The Cesar's epic campaign! It's getting better, and better 👍🏽
Thank you :-)
I love this… I recreate many of the ancient wars in my mind to help with my studies. I will have to look for Hannibal’s trip to Italy with his elephants.
As far as Caesar cross the Rubicon, he was never to cross the Rubicon per the Roman Senate. The Rubicon was like the dividing line between Italy and the rest of the Empire. He was a powerful general with a full support of the legionaries. He was forbid basically to cross the rubicon. It was treason, The dye has been cast, means it is what it is. Can’t change it. It was basically set in stone( or steel).
To all of you guys,HAPPY HOLIDAY!!!May your 2019 becomes a better year than before.

A question I always wondered. Back then the spoken language didn't come from the same family tree, so how did they communicate?
Edited: The Romans making those bridges always amaze me on their engineering skills, if only they hadn't fallen from corruption wonder how much would they had change the western world.
They used interpreters.

*Immediatly goes to see HC's video to compare
@@rubenheymans1988
K&Gs pros in this video: great graphics and animations and a rather sufficient amount of info
Cons: a bit faster pace than HC, at least to me
HC pros: easier to comprehend and follow as he tells it slowly and with details, he uses lighter music making it somewhat easier to hear him or focus on what he says
Cons: basic graphics (which are still very entertaining to a lot of people including me) and his slower pace might be a tad bit boring for some
yo link to HC?
Historia Civilis, he's referring to.
KG has better visuals but the narration in HC makes it more immersive.
HC makes us know Caesar better as both a person and a general. K&G focuses on mainly the general and not the man
It always bothered me how the romans are so quick at building fortifications. They can create and tear down fortifications in a matter of days. That’s what they do whenever they need to camp and rest. They can build such forts with such speed that it boggles my mind on how they do it.
Is this skill always there during the polybian reforms or after the marian reforms?
The Marian reforms don't exist. It is a wrong interpretation from the first historians. The whole literature contradict the existence of a reform from Marius. Therefore, the skills are from a slow evolution and experience learned through the multiple wars.
Big Iron Rome OP pls nerf
Apparently, after the Marian reforms, each legionary carried lots of things with them, including building tools, materials and the like. Before this, I suppose it was all in the baggage train? So I would guess it wasn't until Marius' reforms the Romans got ridiculously fast to the point where if it were from some fantasy book, people would call it "lazy writing".
By the way, all I know about the Marian reforms come from this channels videos, so I'm *not* an expert on the subject.
Educated manpower dedicated to a single cause can accomplish great things.
Edit, when the soldiers became a professional force is when they became builders. When there was no battle to be fought they would be a negative gain on the states treasurey. So they put them to use in building civilian construction.
@@executor5588 why would that be a wrong interpretation.? What's the case for that?
A new Kings and Generals video, and one about the Gaulic campaign? It's like Christmas!
It is. Merry Christmas!
These videos are fantastic, I am just now stumbling upon them and I love them! keep up the good work! I'd love to see an episode done about the Battle of Clontarf as well, just a humble request from a fan! Merry Christmas!!!
Merry Christmas!
I never have been a big fan of strategy games because a few times I tried it as a kid I sucked but now your videos are making me want to play Rome: total war lol. I actually read ceasars commentaries on Gaelic wars few days ago and it's quite fun to have some visuals of these battles.
Loving the look of these newer videos look really nice and clear to understand what is happening
Thank you!
I don't want to start watching this. If i do it will be over so quick. I will keep the window open for couple hours then watch. Makes me feel better.
"Commentarii de Bello Gallico". Always a treat to see the Caesar battles
More on the way!
Looking foward to this series! Thanks Kings and Generals !
Thanks for watching, more on the way!
Caesar was a master of the classic Roman divide and conquer strategy.
After he gained his first foothold in Gaul north of the Mediterranean, Caesar would not stop until he had subdued the entire country. The memory of the sack of Rome by Brennus in 390 BCE loomed large in the Roman psyche.
Ah, just in time :) close the windows, bring me some tea with honey. and this will make the fun inevitable !
yup
Honey with tea? You barbarian.
🌹
Honey should not be put in boiling water because in addition the heat eliminates all its beneficial properties. Heated to more than 40 º C, the fructose sugar that contains it becomes carcinogenic, and the progression of cancerous tumors in the digestive tract.
At first i was concerned this would be a Historia Civilis repeat, but I’m very happy to see some new details (e.g. the geography). Great work!
Have to be honest, I thought there was no way this series would be anything more than a downgrade from Historia Civilis' Series, surprisingly, it holds up in its own right
Thank you!
Helvetti: Opens negotiations.
Ceaser: builds a twenty mile long wall.
Merry Christmas

There are many goals in life, ending world hunger, world peace and wondering what song was used in the intro. I fear all three will never come to pass.

We'll see!
Best way to spend winter vacation is to watch some Kings and Generals videos
Thank you very much!
If i may suggest not to mix the imperial and the metric measurement For example at 5:11 there is explanation about the fortification that is 5 meters high and 20 miles long. Is it possible to use both or just the metric system.
I'm huge fan of this channel,! Many thanks to the whole team behind, you guys are doing a great job !
Thanks! That is a great point, I should stop doing that!
Such excellent production value. Better than the History channel, not only for that, but there is actual information being conveyed, not just dumbed down repetitive garbage and commercials.
K&Gs are putting out excellent videos.
Thank you very much!
the city of Florentia appears on the map at the start of the video, but the city was probably founded after the gallic wars to settle Cesar's veterans
True. Our mistake. Apparently it was destroyed by Sulla previously.

And we sacked it again, and again, and again...
yea only took you guys like millennium and a half
but you're romans too. you have roman blood anyway
@@craezee247
A little bit maybe. And some Celtic too ...
But actually it's called 'France' for a reason. It was Frankish (and other Germanic) people that migrated into their territories that make up a huge proportion of the modern population. But don't tell the French, they like to call themselves Gauls.
They are just as much Gauls though as the English (> Angles and Saxons) come from the Celtic Britons. Living in a place that used to belong to a group of people doesn't equate to descending from this group of people ...
But as long as everybody is happy I guess ...
@@abcdef-cs1jj the franks were a highly militarised germanic population that imposed their military domination over a gallo-roman population, in the huge vacuum of the never ending roman civil wars. they had mostly no competition compared to the ostrogoths of Italy or the vandals of north africa that ended in a renewed roman occupation(justinian), or the visigoths of spain that ended under the islamic heel. the franks melted very well with the celto - romanic population giving birth to a civilization that matched that of the romans and later this mix forged the modern world (French Revolution) hats off to them!
Who's "we" lol napoleon was Italian and his imagery and army was inspired by ancient Rome.
Imagine being able to watch these battles, hours of brutal fighting.
In terms of lifes lost the Gallic Wars came close to a genocide. IIRC the overall loses where higher than during WWII (in relation to the population size of the times).
Not to dismiss your point, the conquest of Gaul was a blood soaked massacre, but calculating absolute casualties from that period is next to impossible. We can only estimate the population and the percentage lost. Most of the numbers provided come from Caesar himself, or other people with either a vested interest in exaggerating the numbers of the Gauls, or no way of knowing for sure. It is very likely even the Gaul kings themselves had only a relatively shaky idea of how many people actually made up their people.
All we know is that a horrendous amount of people either died or were enslaved. Those who did survive were not in a position to enjoy the benefits of the Roman Empire.
I'm also not sure if I would use the term genocide, since I think the term implies an intent to exterminate, whereas for Caesar the deaths were not the goal, just the means to acquiring swathes of land, fortunes in wealth, and political power.
@@Oxtocoatl13 There is something we can call a genocide during this war, the massacre of the Eburones by Caesar.
The comparison to World War II doesn’t make sense, because WWII was of Mitch larger scale and was not always fought in the territory of all participants, like the Gallic wars. In the German occupied Soviet Union almost 25% of the population died in 3 years, but the war never reached American soil (ok, Pearl Harbor😉)
In Gaul there were territories which were barely harmed in any way and only a few years after the wars many regions of Gaul flourished again. Others like the Eburones were almost completely destroyed. So it really depends. The wars in general had nothing to do with genocide, but some chapters might be considered to be comparable to the modern definition of genocide.
Wow, greatly made and entertaining to watch documentary. Thanks.

the Helvetii spent 20 days across a river, because they did not know how to build bridges, while the Romans, knowing architecture and engineering in one day, managed to cross the river. This event is enough to make people understand how much the Romans were clearly superior to the populations of Central and Northern Europe...

Oh an early Christmas present. Thank you Kings and Generals! And merry Christmas everyone!
I feel sad for the gauls to be honest :(
The Romans became that hyper-militarized and schizophrenically fearful of Gauls, after the Gallic Sack of Rome.
Which happened around 400BC...not long after it became a republic.
The biggest irony is, that it was the Averni (and another tribe), that handed Rome that shameful and humiliating defeat. The Gauls won so easily against the Romans, they thought it was a trick or a trap, or a faigned retreat🤣. And chose to stay alert and not celebrate.
It made Rome into the military machine it became. And its why Rome kept fighting pre-emptive wars "as a means of defense".
The Romans were so terrified of Gauls, on 3 occasions they performed human sacrifice by burrying pairs of people alive when there were Gauls roaming near Rome. This bizarre act wasn't a Roman custom at all.
Anyway, what makes the invasion of Gaul ironic, is that it was the Averni and their leader Vercingetorix that lead the Gallic resistance against Caesar, more than 300 years later.
The exact same Gallic tribe that set Rome on a gung-ho military path when Rome was easily defeated and the city sacked.
It's also when Rome started building their overkill walls.
You guys rocks !!

Edit Fun fact: Caesar is pronounced like the german word for Emperor "Kaiser", not saying you should fix this, but I'm just telling those who are unaware of this between Classical Latin and French.
Edit 2 : it has come to my attention Latin is indeed a dead language, so still it's okay how you pronouns it.
That's how you would pronounce it in Latin, but really in English you can use either. Most people know him as Ceaser with an S-C so really it's not a big problem.
@@juliusgreen9179 indeed. I'm just saying for fun fact.
@@Romellenios_Lanz_Daemos Yeah, it's interesting when you also think about other words that I always pronounced with a C-S instead of a K like Principate, Censor and Seleucos which actually also sound pretty good with a K

But the V makes a "W" sound.

Celtic genocide
Not really, the romans were not going around mindlessly slaughtering people contrary to some people´s believes. The modern day french are in fact still partially carrying the gaulic genome. Hell there are even theories that some of the features separating latin and french are derived from the local gaulic languages.
Western civilization, technology and its people taken by rome. They like to claim allot of celtic inventions this is well known.

Been waiting so long for this, and I am not going to lie, this was very good!
Good job and keep it up!
4:41 onwards: Was Geneva in antiquity on the northern side of the Rhône? The medieval city at least is at the southern side, directly where the lake flows into the river, and I've always understood Caesar's account as saying that Geneva also was on the southern (Roman) side of the river.
a bit late but here an opinion: I guess this was a mistake by the creator, Caesar says that Geneva is the last town of the Allobroges and from there a bridge brings to the Helvetii. Being the last town of the Allobroges it has to be the most northern town. The Allobroges were incorporated into transalpine gaul, so it doesn't make any sense that Geneva would be north to the Helvetia, because this would mean that between Rome and the land of the Allobroges, which they conquered, there would be this space which isn't conquered (Helvetii). if you watch a map, this isn't the case, the allobroges were united to the rest of transalpine gaul. even if Caesar only says that it is a city of the allobroges, we can understand that kings and generals inverted the sides
