In part 2, The 14th will completely change its fate and win victory after victory, until it will one day be named the "most effective legion" by Emperor Nero, and win other titles, being later known as: "Legio XIIII Martia Gemina Victrix", Mars' victorious twinned 14th Legion (Mars is the Roman God of war). Watch their glorious comeback in Part 2: ruclips.net/video/BvwUBYPT1BE/видео.html
@@alexmali1466 Those forms of writing numbers were only standardized in the Middle ages. We have archeological evidence that the Romans more commonly and formally used "IIII" as four, for example (especially for their legion numbers).
The 14th is the best?? Don´t let Titus Pulo hear you talk that shit, he wipes his ass with the 14th´s bunch of bloody mollies. The 13th is where its at! Thirteen!!!
We should all thank the historia civillis for his work representing roman legions as rectangles and spreading roman history to us who did know nothing about how great and rich it is. Also i love how this/your channel is going and growing. Your determination and work to tell the story behind every legend is fantastic. You are doing a great work here. Good luck.
There should be a TV show for that legion. 400 years can't be covered in a movie. They could literally do a season for every 25 years or major campaign or even battle they were involved in.
HBO should reignite their Roman history buffs after they cancelled Rome back in the 2000s. Imagine if they used the same funding as GoT, we’d have a new binge worthy show
@@cjtdup5395Yeah just like Games of Thrones where they constantly cut corners and removed multiple battles and duels from the books so the show would be cheaper to produce and their profits would be higher ☠️ So tired of the delusional people who refuse to acknowledge that HBO is literally known for cutting corners and doing the bare minimum. Just like they’re doing with House of the Dragon now by rushing through the story and even blatantly changing it to make it cheaper to produce. HBO should never be the standard, it’s like you people forget why they cancelled Rome. Because that company is known for refusing to invest a significant budget in to a project. They’d rather cut corners and profit anyhow off a popular title. Similar to Disney with Marvel in the last 5 years.
@@cjtdup5395 If HBO made a Hannibal series, the battle of Carrhae would be reduced to a 10 second cut scene where we see one side charging in to battle and suddenly it’s a black screen followed by characters talking about who won the battle. Just like HBO’s non existent “battle of the whispering wood” and “battle of the Greek fork” from game of thrones.
Great video. One can really imagine the terror the newly reraised 14th legion must have felt walking into that camp finding the corpses of their predecessors who had committed suicide.
I knew that one of Caesar legions was destroyed in Gaul. But I never make the conection that it was the SAME LEGION that crushed Boudica. Amazing how they change their fate.
*_"Hmm, today I'll piss off the man who defeated many Gallic tribes and massacre one of his legions. I'm sure it will go well"_* -Ambiorix, unaware it won't go well
I dont know why Firaxis choose Ambriorix to be the leader of the gaellics in Civilization VI, he seems to be the dumbest of all gallic leaders. It should ve been Ariovistus or Vercingetorix
I really appreciate that yous use total war assets to tell the narrative. There is really no better thing to use and yous make a good call to use them. And every scene whether map view or battle view is very engaging with the story telling. This is starting to become one of my favorite channels keep up the good work guys!❤
I watch a lot of history video's on yt, but you really got your own thing going on. This will be a major channel if you keep uploading regularly. Hope you invest more time in this!
I recently started playing rome 2 again and thanks to this channel and a couple others teaching me about Roman history I have found a deeper more historical love in the game. I appreciate their tactics more and their ability to be an effective army
Thank you!! I absolutely love what you did to tell the story. More historical presentations like this are great. I appreciate your time and great information. 👍🏻
Your videos are the best on Rome and describe interesting subjects schools often telll boringly while you cram as much information as possible while keeping it entertaining and also making wide ranges of great videos
Keep up the good work! I was wondering if you consider investigating notable centurions or warriors that stood out in the legions such as major feats, accomplishments or reputation (positive or negative)
Read "Nero's Killing Machine: The True Story of Rome's Remarkable 14th Legion" by Stephen Dando-Collins if you want to read the great history of the legion. Amazing book. Filled with action.
what of a gem for those that love Roman History, thank you very much Filaxim Historia, waiting for lots more, and really thinking on patreon you, salutes
Awesome video! I notice how shame could be a strong morale booster in those times! As soldiers of Rome, they should have known better than routing and turning their backs to the enemy...
Just seen a comment giving you a hats off for making the videos and I figured I would follow suit. Well done lad, thank you for time and commitment. I enjoy learning from you.
Regarding the numerical use of XIIII over XIV. There's numerous examples of the the former usage. In the Israel Museum one can see a 90 CE Latin tablet inscription of a Roman soldier being honorably discharged, within it a clear example of 'VIIII' is being used.
Awesome videos! Have seen some of them now and only have one wish.. For me all understanding of history and events starts with timeline. This gives a bigger picture of things and helps in understanding occurrences and whats more important than others and how they played a roll in aftermaths. I would love if you could provide a timestamp in one corner to remind us what era and time we are talking about.. It would be awesome if it was dynamic but a 50 year like 50BCE-0 would also be good! I came to think about this when I saw the video of the first legion, but post this comment in your newest video in case it make it more likely to be seen from you.
That is a good point which I have thought about myself! The next legion I cover, I will definitely consider keeping the years in one corner. Thank you!
Hi there - sorry for the silly question, but the banner in the opening has 'XIIII' on it for 14. From what I vaguely recall of Roman numeral rules, we can't have more than 3 of the same symbol in a row, so 14 would be XIV wouldn't it? If XIIII is a valid historical usage, please let me know!
XIIII is totally correct. Romans used both additive (IIII) and subtractive (IV). In middle ages IIII was even prefered to IV, especially on clocks (because of symetry and IV resembling the name of pagan god Iupiter).
The rule you quote is actually a more modern convention. It was common during this period (ca. 100 BC to 200 AD) to use IIII (versus IV) when indicating the number 4. Two examples of which I am certain is IIII (4) and XIIII (14). 90% of my knowledge of the Roman Empire is directly related to the various legions and of these two numbers, I am certain. I have no idea as to why it was done.
well this really surprised me; for some reason i was 100% sure that caesar's tenth was his best. the weird thing is i read and watched a lot on caesar's campaigns and still was convinced that the tenth was the legendary one. how could i have made such a mistake? super confused at this point. edit: after watching video, it all makes sense to me.
Hey Filaxim Hostoria, nice video. Really helps me learning more about the romans besides the Books I read Can I ask for a video? Could you pls make a video about the 2. Legion?
@TriballianCome on... Losing YET another time & in front of ALL the other famous legions ?? At that point, they must have been more like depression Inc. Poor sods.
@Triballian And I fully agree with you. What I was thinking of is the appalling morale of these men, branded as the "loser legion" for so long by other legions. An entire generation of legionnaires lived & died in perpetual shame, poor sods.
I believe you may have missed the following battle honors: 14-16 AD German Campaign (vs Arminius, et.al.) & recapture of 2 (of 3) Eagles under Germanicus Caesar 60-61 AD the Reduction of Anglesey under Plautius 60-61 AD The annihilation of the Boudiccan Revolt under Plautius 69 AD Wars of the Four Emperors 101-106 AD Victory over the Sarmatians & the Dacian Wars both under the Emperor Trajan. 161-166 AD The Parthian Wars under the Emperor Lucius Verus. 168-180 AD Campaign and Victory over the Marcomanni under the Emperor Marcus Aurelius. 193-194 AD Proclamation of the Emperor Septimius Severus and subsequent wars. 198 AD The War against the Parthians, under the Emperor Septimius Severus. I wouldn't expect any Roman Legions involved in so many successful wars and campaigns to hang their head in shame ... ever.
Rather than seeing them as continually devastated by numbers... They should have seen this as the Hydra legion... as you cut them ... they get more dangerous. It's like the 14th keeps resurrecting. Thanks for the vids ... your opinions and clarity is why I subscribed
