Woo, Gallic wars upload, I'm even wearing my world tour right now. Always eager to have a Caesar video. Great work as always, thanks and good morning Kings & Generals!
I remember hearing of this battle in an audiobook and they said the when the 10 came back to help they hit the enemy so hard that they thought they were possessed . Killing Gauls so fast that they tried to flee . The 10th were supposedly out numbered by a lot , but all they knew was Caesar was in serious trouble .
@@jonathanrivolta8691 Probably not different from any of Caesar's Gallic legions, but he did affirm it was his favorite. Guess they turned fanatics lol.
I will mention the thing that stands out most. That map. That map is beyond doubt the best of the kind I ever saw! When I heard “defensive towers” my immediate thought was: Age of Empires I followed by Empire Earth I
I really rooted for the Belgae at the Battle of the Sabis River. They started the battle really well and almost won against Caesar. The balance was just tipped against the Belgae when the Roman left flank and center won against the Belgae right and center, which freed them up to join the battle against the Gallic left.
I kinda like the deep dive into Roman battles. These fringe battles enrich the depth of Roman history... I had wanted more middle eastern battles - but I like the deep dive into one Civ at at time. Well done.
I've always seen that attitude as silly, it was 2000 years ago. There is no resemblance in culture between Belgium now and back then and Rome laid the foundation for the rest of history. You wouldn't be in the Belgium you know if it weren't for them
Solublemoth I know, and that’s not the reason. I hated him for his very unwieldy writing, for one; the second is the fact that he wrote his Commentaries as political propaganda. Our only big source for the Gallic Wars is basically a desperate power fantasy
Imagine you are in a endless battle and you hear the words “ Caesar stands the line”. The old man is in the grinder with you, he could have saved himself but he is taking up his weapons and facing death as you are. Old saying you manage things you lead people.
I love this videos! You're compedium of knowlage for fans of history or simple people who just want to know more about history. Keep doing your job, your making great content.
What an incredible show of personal courage by Caesar, especially considering his age. It was also interesting to see at the Battle at Sabis, that the Roman legions were not immune to falling victim to the same pitfall which we so often criticize the Macedonian Phalanx for. Improperly prepared, and a poor terrain still meant the high probability of being divided and conquered. It looks like at the end of the day, the deciding factor in any engagement is who sits in the general's tent. Great Video.
It has to be said that the legions at Sabis had not been disrupted nor surrounded. The original function of the manipular system (even if it had been replaced by the cohort system at the time of Caesar) that was to be able to fight frontal battles on uneven terrain, still worked as intended. Simply on the righ Roman flank there were too many Gauls, and the Romans started to loose ground there.
@@neutronalchemist3241 but they were disrupted by the terrain, which the video mentions in detail. All were divided by the difficult terrain into three groups. One group defeated the Belgic right and pursued to the side. One began pushing across the stream in the center. One was broken by the Belgae. The Gallic strategy to divide up the roman line with their own earthworks/terrain sculpting worked to great effect. The battle was won by the Romans, not because of superiority in the Manipular/Cohort system, which was quite admirably disrupted in a very similar way to Cynoscephalae or Pydna, but because the roman numbers came through in the end.
@@TheSamuraijim87 They were divided in three groups, but any of the formations mantained its' unity as an effective and cohordinated fighting unit, and they would have done it even at a smaller level. That was the strenght of the legionary system. Not that a large army couldn't be divided (it was created to fight un uneven terrains, were that was inevitable), but that the separed branches were still self-sufficient fighting units. the Romans didn't "almost lost like the Macedons at Cynoscephalae", but won like the Romans at Cynoscephalae. A section that won it's battle came back to help the struggling one. Instead they didn't symply dissolved when they hit the uneven ground, because the Phalanx was unable to fight in small formations, like the Macedons at Pydna.
Neutron Alchemist alright, take it up with the makers of the video, who explicitly mentioned the division of the forces. I never said that the individual units ceased being effective, so i don't really know what you're arguing about?
@@TheSamuraijim87 I've no probelms with the makers of the video. I repeat. the strenght of the legionary system was not that a large army couldn't be divided (it was created to fight un uneven terrains, were that was inevitable), but that the separed branches were still self-sufficient fighting units. Not like that for the Phalanx that, when was divided, was very vulnerable. At Cynoscephalae both the Roman and the Macedon formations were divided in two, but the Macedons were slaughtered in the end, not the Romans. At Pydna the uneven terrain opened gaps in the Roman formation like in the Macedon one, but the Romans could exploit those gaps, the Macedons couldn't. Already Pyrrhus adressed the problem, alternating formations of his Italic allies with the column of the phalanx, to avoid the enemy oxploiting the gaps while fighting on uneven terrain, but to cohordinate those formations required a military genius. The task, for the Roman commander was much easier.

As a Belgian there’s a larger chance we’re German. Dutch is a Germanic language. The Saxons used Belgium as a base to invade Britain from. There were Gaulish survivors ofcourse but larger chance were german

At 1:38 you put the name "Vermand" to the village of the veromandui but in fact it is more often call "oppidum veromandui" by historians because there is no mention of the name "vermand" before the third or fourth century. But I understand that it is better for the map to just put "Vermand". Also a bit of history about them : Their name in gallic could mean "horse" for "viro" and "man" for "mandus", that could be translate as "Centauri", the horses are very important for the celts and centauri are consider as pure. They also give their name to the region whis is now call "le Vermandois" After their defeat the Roman built a city near their oppidum, they called it "Augusta Viromanduorum" later known as Saint-Quentin the city of the saint that convert the north of france and Belgium to catholicism, he is very important around here. This Augusta viromanduorum will become their capital, this is a prosperous city because she is on a very important road that connect Rome to the North sea wich is still use today. However Vermand will become again their capital near the end of the third century (thats where the name Vermand appear for the first time) because the Augusta will start to be deserted, we don't know why. From there we don't know wich city is a capital or not but in the IXth century, when the "comtes de Vermandois" (count of vermandois) begin to flourish they made Saint-Quentin their capital, from there this county will be one of the most prosperous of France even being larger and more powerful than some duchy. However the las of the count will die around 1250 and the shire will become a royal holding (because the "de Vermandois" was a branch of the Capetian house, their real name was Capet de Vermandois). Also the branch was the last of the Carolingian. After that Saint-Quentin will become "une ville de la Somme", wich are cities that were on the north border of the french kingdom for a wile beacuse of the river Somme, wich was a natural border with Flanders, HRE, burgundy and others, these cities were all part of a defensive system. The city is a place of pilgrimage due to the relics of saint Quentin in the Basilica, his hand and the top of his skull, ther is also his sarcophague but there is high chance that it's empty. Saint Quentin is still the capital of the Vermandois province and is one of the most important city of the Picardie region. I think that's all, thanks for reading and sorry for my english i did my best
@@LuisAldamiz Wow seems like you know what you are talking about. I just checked and you are right, I reversed the two words, my bad. So this is indeed "viro" for "man" and "mandus" for "horse" however I don't find evidence that these words are related to latin except for "mandu" wich was picked up by the roman for the word "mannus" wich mean pony. For the word "viro" he is very similar with his other celtics counterparts so it seem like this is a pure celtic word even if he is also related to the word "vir" in latin, maybe the latin took it to the gauls ? We kow that the gauls were use to speak a common latin that was different from the latin spoke by the elitesso there is a chance that the latin assimilate the word, I don't know it's just a theory, etymology is not really my thing.
Great video! I noticed that a lot of modern French cities and regions derive their names from the names of the various Gallic tribes Caesar encountered as he marched his legions through Gaul. For example, the Remi gave their name to Rheims and the Suessiones gave their name to Soissons. Was the name “Belgium” used between Caesar’s defeat of the Belgae in 57 BC and the formation of the modern nation of Belgium in 1830 AD?
@@LuisAldamiz : Quiet good : a few errors concerning the Salian Franks and Neustria. One big error concerning the coming into existence of modern Belgium : this was in 1830.
Belgica became a Roman province. It got fragmented through history, but the name continued to be used, even before Belgium originated (in 1830). As a name for the low countries area (modern northern France, Luxemburg, Belgium and Nedetherlands). For example the Leo Belgicus maps from the 16th and 17th century.
A side question. How did Caesar raised 2 fully armed Legions? Cisapana Gaul had the men OK, what about funding? From previous luting? What about weapon and armour? He couldn't purchase them from Rome, right?
Remi: “I swear I was never part of that confederation! By the way, here’s all the insider information about the confederation, including the members, the manpower, the planning, the logistics, etc.”
14:14 For the ppl who claim there is only one last remaining Gallic Village in Gaul not under Roman Law, with a Druid & Magic Potion.. ..... Atleast know that the Village was located in the Province of Osismii (top left)...

Belgica became a Roman province. It got fragmented through history, but the name continued to be used, even before Belgium originated (in 1830). As a name for the low countries area (modern northern France, Luxemburg, Belgium and Nedetherlands). For example the Leo Belgicus maps from the 16th and 17th century.
New sub here and these videos are so well done that I am seriously very impressed
Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thanks and welcome aboard!
Man look at that blobbing and bordergore ...
I've lost respect for you caesar. Maintaining fine looking borders is a prime directive.
Dont wory the boarders are 10/10 perfection by the time hes done
Dude, look at the borders when the next guy took over. Beautiful, I tell you!
Great video as always. Hope you guys are making some money tho. Because you guys are really amazing.
5:56 Of course he did. He's Caesar. Never can have enough fortifications.
The auxiliaries : we're the first to retreat, but never miss a chance to celebrate a victory.
I'm fucking addicted to this channel... I legit watched every single video twice or more
Good work:)
Excellent!! Thank you😐🙏
A side question. How did Caesar raised 2 fully armed Legions? Cisapana Gaul had the men OK, what about funding? From previous luting? What about weapon and armour? He couldn't purchase them from Rome, right?
Where do they get the Nervii from to fight the Romans?
Remi: “I swear I was never part of that confederation! By the way, here’s all the insider information about the confederation, including the members, the manpower, the planning, the logistics, etc.”
Good vid.
A new challenger appeared!
Vercingetorix has joined the brawl!
13:48 "Caesar killed"
That sentence made me feel really weird. The world would be unrecognizable today had this happened.
Good battle!
Caesar thinking the Belgae threat is finally over now the Nervii are defeated
The Eburones: hold my Ambiorix

The Romans won with their devastating breath attack.
"whether the omelette should have onion" -- But first they need to be sautéed.
Awesome. Please continue the Ottoman series too.

Cool vid
14:14 For the ppl who claim there is only one last remaining Gallic Village in Gaul not under Roman Law, with a Druid & Magic Potion..
.....
Atleast know that the Village was located in the Province of Osismii (top left)...
Gods... I hate Gauls.
Even before they put out his eyes.
Thank you for reminding me of all my childhood memories, those were the days.. now Rome 1 and myself are old.. time flies
