  • Full History of the LEGIO VIIII "Hispana":
    One of Caesar's oldest and most experienced Legions that played a big role in immortalizing him through History with numerous victories. It played a big role in both Civil Wars and was an important building block in transitioning Rome into one of the biggest Empires of History. The 9th was a building block for other Legions too, as Caesar was known to spread their skill by transferring veteran Centurions into other Legions, such as his favored 10th "Equestris".
    This Legion played a role in securing almost every major Roman Province: Gaul, Hispania, Britannia, Africa; silencing threatening revolts in each one. It would then come to a very mysterious end; never being spoken of or mentioned again...

    Don't forget that when Agricola divided his forces into 3 columns in Southern Scotland, probably to close off the glens to the enemy, one of these was the 9th legion. The Caledones concentrated an attack on the 9th and even broke into its camp, though luckily Agricola realised the danger and brought help to drive off the enemy

    • @teddyjackson1902
      @teddyjackson1902 2 года назад +2

      The thing nobody considers is that Roman legions and armies were occasionally annihilated throughout the history of Rome and the Roman’s loudly recorded the occasions this happened. In fact those defeats would often prompt punitive scorched earth campaigns with no other purpose than retribution. The 9th is an outlier which leads me to believe there was an act of rebellion and it was destroyed and struck from history.

    Your channel is off to a great start and I wish you success. What a brilliant idea to do more than simply refrence "The Legions" as more than a faceless cadre, but pursue further by covering what made each unit unique according to the adversaries in which they engaged, the terrain where they carried out operations, the degree to which the region was integrating into the Republic/Empire and how their history defined them as a fighting force.
    I look forward to the expansion of your library.

      I think the ninth legion also got compleately destroid in some battle in the Netherlands, like ambush propably and so there is no records about it, because it was too disgraceful thing with how the mighty ninth legion got wiped out compleately, so nobody wanted to write anything about it. The other chance is, that it got so small in numbers, so it got merged with another half size legion.

    I have always been fascinated with the theories of the Ninth. Ever since I was a child for some strange reason this has fascinated me. I don't think we'll ever know what exactly happened to the Ninth. I've read every book and I have seen every movie about the Lost Ninth. I do believe as many that the Ninth may have been destroyed. And to save the humiliation of Rome and possible uprising of other tribes, the Ninth was stricken from history. In what period if time is unknown. Thank you for this video. And one thing I'd like to say about The Roman Empire, for the most advanced civilization in those times it was the most Barbaric in those times.

    Love the history of the Legions! Even with the Roman sources it's still such a murky and mysterious tale! These men were stationed in hostile areas that did not want them there in many cases. So the threat of violence if not utter destruction was very real. Enjoyed it well done!

    You got yourself a sub today, it aint much but hope you grow more. With your commentary (brilliant btw) I am sure you will.
    ps I find the first theory more possible as a defeat to one of Rome's most feared legion coul bring many uprisings.
