Exactly it cannot be believed, because the Roman historians lied left and right to make themselves look better. All we have are their sources. These videos are good stories, but the details are just that, stories. We know Cesar won these battles, but not the details. Roman historians definitely inflated the enemies numbers, we know this because the barbarian tribes infrastructure and resources could not sustain these massive amounts of soldiers, and it's unlikely they even had the population levels. Rome liked to portray itself as consistently outnumbered, but the reality was no barbarian tribe or confederacy could match their ability to raise armies and sustain war.

One factor that doesn''t get talked about enough in these wars is that Rome had a standing army and reserve system while the tribal coalitions they fought had to be summoned from the region's tribes. The warriors of these tribes also often had to worry about their farms back home while the legionnaires did not.
Well yes, Rome was so dominant and basically unrivalled because of 3 reasons: 1) professional, disciplined and well trained army 2) superior tactics 3) superior logistics This is why they always won, usually heavily outnumbered.
Don’t educate me I know more than you They military was inferior to Africans ahahahhaahagga. That’s ridiculous. Africans and North American’s didn’t even have armour. Or steel. Or tactics. And most Roman inventions are Roman.
@Don’t educate me I know more than you You are a troll rigth? You can not be serious. American and african tribes being more military advanced than ROME? Rome defeated the Gauls, Iberians, Carthaginians, greeks, macedonians, dacians, germans, persians, parthinans, armenians, egypitans, britons, thracians, and I could go on and on. Rome was and always will be the grestest and most prestigious empire which ever existed, countless nations tried to claim Rome's mantle (the HRE, Russia, Otoman empire, sultanate of Rum, even the papal states) but none will ever come close to Rome's glory. The Romans were building roads which endure to today times while African and American people lived in huts made of mud. A Roman Legion leaded by a conpetent commander could not be defeated by anyone in their time. ROMA INVICTA!!!
That reminded me of what the mountain said to Cersei when she approached him about becoming her champion against Tyrion in his trial by combat.. “who am I fighting?”
It makes me extremely sad that the Gauls for the most part are forgotten and overlooked, the Germanics get all the spotlight and attention. As a modern Gaul (Wallon) i love my Gaulish heritage, in fact Julius Caesar wrote extensively about how the Gaulish Belgae constantly kicked Germanic ass east and west of the rhine.
@@RellenaEater The Y-DNA haplogroup is a genetic marker passed down only from fathers to sons. Of these Y-DNA haplogroups there's R1b - a Celtic genetic marker, which is the dominant marker amongst the French, Wallonians, Spaniards/Portuguese (Celto-Iberians) and northern Italians (Cisalpine Gaul) whereas the dominant marker for the Flemish, Dutch, Germans, Austrians etc is the I1 - a Germanic genetic marker.

@Cline Abbie that was the dark times in all the world, tribal wars in america too before the arrive of the white man, there was wars, killings and slavery, between native americans tribes in center america and southamerican
@@liukang3545 "Every roman legionary under Ceasar" means every legionary that served directly under Ceasar, not every single legionary serving the whole republic during that time.
This video is a brilliant example of how video, great production, presentation and delivery can make history come alive. Imagine if we taught history this way in schools and other forums. This is brilliantly done. Great job of putting the focus on the early part of the campaigns before Caesar faced off against Vercongetarix!
Marshal Joseph Joffre: "Report your situation!" Commander Ferdinand Foch: "My centre is giving way, my right is retreating, situation excellent, I am attacking." Foch soon replaced Joffre as Commander of Western Forces, and a year after that became Supreme Allied Commander of all Allied Troops in WW1.
Alesia will forever fascinate me. The courage it must have taken to wall yourself in on all sides in a hostile territory is just inconceivable. Caesar really did earn his place as a legend of history
Caesar: "Surround them and build a wall!" Officer: "We're done sir, but we have information that they might be getting reinforcements." Caesar: "Well, build another wall then!"
@s Wow, guess you've never heard that idiom; "Better to be quiet and be thought an idiot, than open your mouth and remove all doubt." You do realize Rome wasn't just a city back then?
I just started reading Caesar's "Commentaries on the Gallic Wars" and it's nice to have this video as an accompanying piece to actually see where the campaigns took place and the disposition of forces during each major battle.
The way he understated things made me smile at the audacity of it. eg. Offer to the conquered chieftain: "As a show of our goodwill we will send your eldest son to be educated in Rome." Subtext: we won't kill him if you get your tribe to keep the peace.
Ceasar: You are damn right we can conquer what we like! Right now I like to CONQUER YOUR ASS!! Ariovistus: You are welcome to it! *negotiations continued privately in a separate tent*
1:15:22 - I can't believe he built not just one wall, but a _second_ wall, fortifying himself, so if someone attacked him, they'd be _sieging his siege._ It's horrible what happened to the civilians though.
@yaşamak köleliktir he refuse to let the civilians back in the city after Cesar deny their passage through his fortification, likely to save food for his army. Therefore, he's a verified coward :v
@@joevenespineli6389 He likely told those people that he came to protect the town from the Roman, so drive them out of their home wouldn't fit his propaganda. Also, more people meant more men for his army.
@@jaif7327 There is cowardice in hiding within someone home, promised to protect them from your enemy, then let them all starve to death outside while you eating their food, in their well fortified home.
@satanic spirit bro, his army hid in the fort through majority of the battle, the dude is such a coward compared to Ceasar. It's suck that history seem to praise him like a hero while he clearly is not.

Say what you will about Caesar, the guy is cunning, deliberate and clever. When shit needs to get done in battle, the guy just throws himself to the front line. Whether appealing to soldiers ego's to get them onside, or leading from the front, the guy really, really knows how to lead.
Andrae Nicholson I always wonder. What if these battles were actually that size and we just massively underestimated the amount of people in the Aincent world
@@thomasbrady3827 yeah, but compared to the massive amount of historical knowledge on battles and historical army tactics leading an army of 300 000 would be very difficult for the tribes, especially all said to be equipped and be genuine warriors, not even saying how difficult that would be to fight against such an enormous swarm of people, don't forget that you have to be able to supply them and be able to create camps for those 300 000, it is most likely there was less soldiers.
@@thomasbrady3827 Surely Caesar didn't make a census so he either inflated or lowballed that number. For bragging purposes I know I'd say they were a gazillion million billion
"not wanting to lose the initiave, Caesar quickly built a bridge across the river, and moved all of his 6 legions across" In one day... when it took the others 20. Damn the Romans truly were the OG combat engineers! I bet they had so many cool methods that've been lost to time...
We only recently found out how they built their concrete which is objectively better than modern concrete. The secret was seawater, which is quite interesting and I wonder how the romans even realized it made concrete better. Unfortunately, it requires decades to become as resilient as the roman ones, so we can't exactly use it for roads that cars use.
I love how whenever Caesar wins, it’s because of his personal intervention, but whoever there’s a reverse, it’s because someone else messed up... guess that’s what happens when you write your own story.
This is such a fabulously thorough depiction of all that happened in Gaul - something usually left to the dark corners of historical study, and yet so crucially important. Thanks for this gift!
That was the best documentary of the Gallic Wars that I've ever seen!! This perfectly shows the military genius of Caesar!! Thank you for this and congratulations on 1M subscribers!!
Julius Caesar was a brilliiant Commander. One of the best ever. At some point he was preparing to avenge the Roman defeat at the Battle of Carrhae, circa 53 BC but met with an untimely demise by those closest to him.
I love how you gave consideration that the coastline of the Netherlands was different in the first century BCE then now a days. Though one might argue that the coastline was a bit further out at sea, and the zuiderzee/lacus vlevius being smaller then depicted.
Julius Caesar seemed to resort to "starving out" tactics more often than before after the Germans used said tactics so well against his own forces. What an intense period the times of the Roman Empire must have been for the tribal people's of Europe on almost every side. Excellent documentary.
@@stephenrusso6019 no my friend it's rather that we tend to forget those people who were actually great. People who brought peace and prosperity to all not at the expense of others but through their own efforts. Insted we focus on shallow things like conquests or riches. Think about the difference between Tesla and Edison, we forget the teslas and Remember only the edisons.
While Vercingetorix laid down his sword, one Gaulish aka Gallo-Roman village held on. That village had a druid on their side. And Ceasar had a hard time dealing with them.

Vitalstatistix, the chief of Asterix and Obelix' village, took part to the battle of Alesia (see Asterix and the Chieftain's Shield), but infortunately, he had not met druid Getafix yet, so there was no magic potion for the Gauls. History would've been different.
Why didn’t we learn history like this in school? Instead they of focusing on something like this we basically tried to learn “everything” in a semester which means memorizing facts for one test and learning nothing, I didn’t hear about Thermopylae until in college and even then it was like 5 minutes in a lecture, but that did inspire me to go and learn for myself. So I hope all that want to learn never stop learning and thanks so much for this great work. Better than watching the office for an hour (although I loved that show too, this just feels better and is entertaining as well) or being on Facebook for an hour. Great channel.
He was a piece of shit who slaughtered untold amount of people in a never ending series of atrocities. Glad the Senate finally grew the balls to just kill him.
Fantastic video to watch after I read Caesar's Gallic Wars. One thing for reminder, at 1:01:16 it was Sabinus who was killed during the winter of 54 BC. Quintus Cicero made a tough fight against Ambiorix and managed to defend their camp before Caesar's arrival.

@s yeah so weak that they made the Mediterranian their public lake

Caesar was a TOP military genius. I really liked reading his war accounts.
The way he understated things made me smile at the audacity of it.
eg. Offer to the conquered chieftain:
"As a show of our goodwill we will send your eldest son to be educated in Rome."
Subtext: we won't kill him if you get your tribe to keep the peace.
@@myparceltape1169 Not just Caesar but Rome itself and and other powers saw things that way.
Ariovestus: If the Romans could conquer where and how they liked, so could he.
Caesar: ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?

Ceasar: You are damn right we can conquer what we like! Right now I like to CONQUER YOUR ASS!!
Ariovistus: You are welcome to it!
*negotiations continued privately in a separate tent*
He sure had a lot Gaul to say that.
I think someone back in Rome paid him to get rid of Ceasar
1:15:22 - I can't believe he built not just one wall, but a _second_ wall, fortifying himself, so if someone attacked him, they'd be _sieging his siege._ It's horrible what happened to the civilians though.
@yaşamak köleliktir he refuse to let the civilians back in the city after Cesar deny their passage through his fortification, likely to save food for his army. Therefore, he's a verified coward :v
@@thevupham5605 makes me wonder tho why didnt he evacuate the civilians first? Or is that not an option?
@@joevenespineli6389 He likely told those people that he came to protect the town from the Roman, so drive them out of their home wouldn't fit his propaganda. Also, more people meant more men for his army.
@@jaif7327 There is cowardice in hiding within someone home, promised to protect them from your enemy, then let them all starve to death outside while you eating their food, in their well fortified home.
@satanic spirit bro, his army hid in the fort through majority of the battle, the dude is such a coward compared to Ceasar. It's suck that history seem to praise him like a hero while he clearly is not.
I never really got to study Caesar’s campaigns in detail during school. This is super appreciated and it’s pretty engaging. Thank you! 😁

Say what you will about Caesar, the guy is cunning, deliberate and clever. When shit needs to get done in battle, the guy just throws himself to the front line. Whether appealing to soldiers ego's to get them onside, or leading from the front, the guy really, really knows how to lead.

The Gallic War is an easy, short book to read in theory. It's just hard for me to picture and frame everything out clearly. This doc is excellent.
"not wanting to lose the initiave, Caesar quickly built a bridge across the river, and moved all of his 6 legions across" In one day... when it took the others 20. Damn the Romans truly were the OG combat engineers! I bet they had so many cool methods that've been lost to time...
We only recently found out how they built their concrete which is objectively better than modern concrete. The secret was seawater, which is quite interesting and I wonder how the romans even realized it made concrete better.
Unfortunately, it requires decades to become as resilient as the roman ones, so we can't exactly use it for roads that cars use.

Julius Caesar seemed to resort to "starving out" tactics more often than before after the Germans used said tactics so well against his own forces. What an intense period the times of the Roman Empire must have been for the tribal people's of Europe on almost every side.
Excellent documentary.
