I love your videos their so detailled in so many ways but in this one despite loving the theme, you made a BIG mistake in one of the maps because i from Portugal and i know both the latim and portuguese and their location and in that map you wrote Bracara Augusta that is Braga now and if you search in google you'll see that is above Portus Cale that is Porto now, and this last is southwest of Bracara Augusta, or Braga but the mistake is that you wrote it in the wrong position. Despite this i love your channel❤
I am surprised Marcus Agrippa had no involvement in any of these specific campaigns, considering he was Augustus’s right hand man, not to mention a military genius.

It's insane how a fairly insignificant, sickly young 19 year old Octavius established Roman dominance across the whole Mediterranean. There's a reason why the formal titles of emperors was Augustus!
Thank you for mentioning the Garamantes! While not a major power they were still important and are so often overlooked. I for one would appreciate a video about them, similar to the Nabataen video.
Iberia was one of the territories which took the longest, and was harderst to fully conquer by Rome. A series on the Roman conquest of Hispania would be quite interesting, as it does not usually get the coverage it deserves. Truly heroic wars took place on that soil between Romans, Celts and Iberians.
Great to see campaigns that don't get much limelight. The intensity of the Civil Wars and the eventual complete victory of Augustus can make it seem like everything was smooth sailing afterwards.
So what was offensive about Crassus's bestowing of gifts on the temple and being awarded a triumph that wasn't the case with the other also-not-Julio-Claudian generals who were awarded triumphs? Was this Crassus not really an ally of Augustus? Or was him being a Crassus at all a problem for Augustus's position as the sole savior of Rome?
Crassus was seen as a potential rival by Augustus. Although the video mentions it only obliquely, the act of single-handedly defeating the opposing general and stripping his armor had only occurred a handful of times in Roman history, and brought tremendous prestige upon the one who had done it. Augustus couldn't let that prestige set Crassus up as a viable rival.
Augustus would not have liked anyone to claim spolia opima as only three examples are recorded in Roman histoy; Romulus, Aulus Cornelius Cossus and the only one we know for sure that isn't simply a myth; Marcus Claudius Marcellus just before the second Punic war. With his power not fully secure at that time, it would be dangerous for Augustus to have a potential rival to be given such a rare honour
You have a mistake at 2:05 - Marcus Licinius Crassus was a GRANDson of the triumvir, not a son - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcus_Licinius_Crassus_(consul_30_BC)
Kings and generals bring the content !! The roman empire and with that you are focusing on one character in particular !!! Are you guys going to make more vidéos about roman expéditions or characters ? !!😮
The Nubian campaign in my opinion is worthy of its own video, as the primary sources are actually quite inconsistent with each other and do not paint a clear picture. In my opinion, the evidence best supports the idea that the Kushite invasion was a response to Roman attempts to assert authority in Northern Nubian lands over which they liked to assert authority (this being why the Nomarchs (governors) supposedly "wronged" them, by taxing their lands. The course of the war is unclear, but Nubiologists tend to doubt the Romans reached Napata (this detail is not mentioned in many of our accounts of the conflict), let alone whether they sacked and burnt it (the city does not show evidence of destruction or razing during this period). In addition, Amanirenas' northward march is omitted from this narrative, which is confusing. If I recall correctly, the truce was signed only after the Kushite army marched north to confront the Romans again.
wonderful video, I am a fanboy of the Romans and I didn't know about the Roman expedition to Yemen. If I may make a humble suggestion for future videos about Rome I would include a very detailed description of the Roman republican political system as well as the role of religion, something that would answer the question: Why did Rome succeed?
kings and generals are you going to remake the roman-germanic wars you had make in the previous year with more information and new design that would be awesome to watch.
8:00 Augustus: "You're a wanted man, Corocotta. There's a price of 1 million sesterces for your head alone." Corocotta: "1 million sesterces? For me? Can I turn myself in?"

"The story of the Parthians returning the military standards to Augustus is one of the most remarkable moments in the history of diplomacy. It highlights the Parthians' power and political wisdom, as they managed to end a conflict in their favor while preserving their status as an independent power. I wish you had also included how this act impacted future relations between Rome and the Parthians, and how this clever diplomacy was recorded in history.
Augustus's military ventures beyond Rome's traditional core illustrate that the empire's expansion relied not only on sheer military power but also on diplomacy and carefully crafted alliances. His capacity to manage conflicts on various fronts highlights the remarkable organization and flexibility of the Roman system.
Augustus’s campaigns outside of Rome’s traditional heartland show how the empire expanded not just through military might but also through diplomacy and strategic alliances. His ability to fight on multiple fronts is a testament to Roman organization and adaptability.
6:44 Hi, small correction, the city in Portugal indicated as Bracara Augusta is not Braga, but Coimbra. The correct name is Aeminium. As for Bracara Augusta its location is a bit to the north of Portus Cale. Keep the good work and wish everyone in the team a great 2025!
Crassus was the grandson of the triumvir. His uncle was killed under command of his grandfather in 53 BCE and I think his father was purged in the civil wars. That's why 20+ years later he's in the thick of adulthood not approaching his 50s.
Would you ever do a video on Pompey's Eastern Settlement? You made a series on the Mithradatic Wars but never covered what happens after Mithradates dies.
Not often one hears about the Cantabrian wars or the conquest of Moesia. Good video. I thought the Alps were rather lawless until the campaigns of Drusus and Tiberius though (circa 15 BC?)?
Fought on like 6 fronts and still conquered Pannonia, Illirya, Moesia, Northern Spain, stopped incursion into Libya, even controlled Germania up to the Elbe for 10+ years before 9ad, his conquests are insane
Biographer Suetonius wrote down that Octavian had something close to a blonde, curly hair. How German did he look? Probably nowhere since he was born in Italy, with Volsci ancestry. Artists probably taking creative liberty rather than getting into debates on what he really looked like.
I just want to point out that Augustus' troops fought across three continents and four time zones. This actually happened despite it sounding like something that could only happen in Star Wars.
Amazing vídeo. As amazing was the Roman war againts Cantabrians and Astures. The Romans needed 8 legions to fight and defeated 3.000.000 Gauls. The Romans sent 3 or 4 legions to conquest Britania. Augustus sent 3 legions to conquest Germania that were defeated in Teotuburg. But Augustus sent 8 legions to fight the Cantabri and the Astures, today provinces of Asturias, León and Cantabria (less than 2.000.000 inhabitants). France 68.000.000 inhabitants, England and Welsh 60.000.000, Germany 84.000.000. But in spite of figures the Astures transmontani attacked the Romans camps and according with Roman historian Florus the Romans was saved by the traition of Brigaecini. Astures transmontani ( today 1.000.000.inhabitants) were defeated by the traition. After that the Astures Cohortes, Alae and Symmachiari fought with the Romans from Germany to Dacia and from the Hadrian wall to Mauretania. Nevertheless the Romans installed a permanent legio south Asturias in nowdays Leon, the only permanent legion in Hispania.
It's kind of remarkable in a way that Augustus managed to hold everything together .. just a shame that so many of his successors did a terrible job of maintaining what he secured.

I am surprised Marcus Agrippa had no involvement in any of these specific campaigns, considering he was Augustus’s right hand man, not to mention a military genius.
At this point, he leveled up and became a good administrator, too, so he was needed in Rome to enact the reforms
@ Ok. That makes sense.
@KingsandGenerals Agrippa would be excellent in whatever he did.... if he wanted to do mathematics I bet he would have created calculus first.
Yep, I’m a member of the Agrippa fan club.
Also likely to avoid having him be responsible for success in so many campaigns, fame breeds disloyalty
I plan to earn a doctoral degree in classical history and Augustus is one of my favorite figures to study. Thanks for the video!

Phenomenal!! Excited to hear more from Augustus!!
Its has been months since I have binged on Civil War Rome…I needed this so much.
First I’m hearing of a Roman expedition into Yemen. Surprised they never gave it another shot. That straight is such an important position to hold.
YES thank you so many channels do Caesar and then stop as soon as Augustus takes the title. It is a huge gap in my Rome knowledge
It's insane how a fairly insignificant, sickly young 19 year old Octavius established Roman dominance across the whole Mediterranean. There's a reason why the formal titles of emperors was Augustus!
And a month named after him
He was a genius. Very very clever though a sickler. Anthony was a great general but not that clever. He was a great propagandist.
@@ShinkuRosettahe named July for his grand uncle Julius and one for himself. Very clever.
His grand uncle saw the genius in his kinsman.

Yes, yes I will enjoy this.

Yess! More Rome

Was this Crassus not really an ally of Augustus? Or was him being a Crassus at all a problem for Augustus's position as the sole savior of Rome?
Likely the latter. He had a bigger treasury than possibly anyone else.

“Did you thought about the Roman Empire today? We are here to help you”. - K&G crew.
Thats why Augustus is the greatest roman emperor
Marcus Licinius Crassus, the leader of the Danube campaign,was the grandson, not the son, of the infamous Crassus defeated at Carrhae.
Wow these members only videos are awesome!
This is not member only, it is early access for the members, but will be available for everyone tomorrow.
@KingsandGenerals ok fair enough. I still think it's awesome though.
Great video on Augustus and his expansion and consolidation of the empire.

Nubians counterattacked but were halted by the Romans, a truce was signed thereafter and the Nubians stopped theor incursions
Also Nubians were no match in a pitched battle against the Legion
@@franjo9056 the Kandake's army never actually battled against the Romans, as they came to a truce beforehand.
The outcome was for the better, Nubians actually became allies and even sent archers to help surpress the Jewish revolt in 70ad
A Magnificent Video.
Thanks!
Emperor Augustus had great generals such as Agrippa, Tiberius, Nero Claudius Drusus Germanicus and his son Germanicus.
wonderful video, I am a fanboy of the Romans and I didn't know about the Roman expedition to Yemen. If I may make a humble suggestion for future videos about Rome I would include a very detailed description of the Roman republican political system as well as the role of religion, something that would answer the question: Why did Rome succeed?

Your maps and graphics are always great. Awesome watch thank you

Very fascinant 👏 🔥 👏 🔥

Mamluk would win simply because of better access to higher quality steel.

Pls can you gimme some of the sources
