In conclusion, the Roman civilization is considered one of the most advanced in history, especially for it's time, dunno where you get your info but i invite you to change that

For those who want to know what happened to this expedition: this is most probably Germanicus expedition under emperor Tiberius. Germanicus decided to avenge Teutoburgus defeat with a double attack, penetrating by land with the army and by the sea with a huge fleet landing troops and supplies in northern Germany. But while land troops (Servius army) advanced deep in Germany, pursuing German tribes who avoided open battle, the northern fleet was destroyed and displaced by a huge storm. When Germans heard the news, they imagined that gods had cursed the Romans, so they rounded up and besieged Germanicus camp. Roman troops were starving with no supplies and no water, Germans even sent envoys who promised food and women to roman deserters, but finally, after a speech to his troops, Germanicus launched an all out attack over besieging germans, who panicked and hardly escaped the carnage. After other minor episodes, Germanicus army (and so Servius) met a huge German army led by Arminius near Weser river (Idistavisius plain): over ten thousands Germans were killed, and the same Arminius, winner of Teutoburgus, only escaped by faking his death, while leaving his wife and son in the hands of the Romans. Romans erected a monument there, with an inscription who said that they annihilated the tribes between the Rhyne and the Elb river, avenging the deaths of Tehthoburgus. They also recovered all the eagles of the fallen legions, except one. At this point Germanicus wanted to penetrate in eastern Germany, but the old emperor Tiberius, who was growing jealous and was afraid to be detronized, recalled him back in Italy and aborted the whole operation. Germanicus was then sent to Syria as governor, where he suddenly died, most probably poisoned by Tiberius. His remains were burned and his heart found still intact. In Italy where Germanicus was loved as hero, people reacted horribly to the news of his death: they started to assault the temples of the gods, dissecrating and beheading the statues, sacking the treasures and beating up the priests. "That's was the revenge of the italic people, against gods so cruel to permit the death of such a good and brave man." (Source: Tacitus, annales)

Teutoburg is exaggerated. Germany was worthless to Rome. It was occupied with forests, no natural resources, primitive villages, and no strategic position. It took Rome 150 years to take Spain, 120 years in the Carthage, 80 years in Gaul and they lost millions of soldiers in the process. Point is, Rome could sustain damage and persist on what they wanted. However the fact they gave up in Germanica after 1 battle which should give you clues already.

You can't miss what you don't know. In fact being a legionaire was far better than being a farmer. As to the 25 years of service, it might seem a lot to us nowadays - I myself worked for just 35 years before I retired - but one must consider that professional Roman soldiers did not give battle capriciously. They were very interested in their self-preservation so that they could retire to their land. Also, as a matter of policy, ancient Romans preferred to project the power by holding it back more than by using it because once you use it two things could easily happen: That one would be caught up short and that the objective would not be attained. Rome was smart enough to realise that the best way to use military power was frugally. Of course they did train as if they warred without blood and fought as if they trained with blood - for, se vis pacem, para bellum (if you want peace, prepare for war).

My grandfather`s father was serving in Tsarist Russia army, that was at around ~1800 year, he went to the army at age 18 and came back after 20 years of mandatory serving. Because of that each soldier got 5ha of land from the tsar. So after he got back at age of 38 only then he build a house and married his wife. Not many of the soldiers survived the wars back then. Most of the armies in those days had the mandatory serving of many years compared to today.

Retirement for soldiers in the US army is 20 years... you can get out before then but may not get anything. I think a partial penguin starts at 18 yrs

It's super informative to watch people's lives in different eras and settings. I love this series you've launched)

So, I'm something of a Roman legionary fan, and I love the way this video was done. History is amazing!

I’ve watched this like 4 times in the past 2 years and It gets better every time

Animation style, specially His eyes and mouth reminds me of Jack, Samurai Jack!

Amazing! Thank you so much for posting this.

Thank you for your service, Servius

I really enjoyed this series. We usually talk about history based on famous, powerful and/or main characters but this gives us another perspective of how life was back then

A Roman legionary in the era had about 99.9% chance of not dying in battle. That's not bad odds, if he lived through Teutoberg he should be fine. And I think citizen-soldiers of the era had 20 years of service, 25 was for auxilliaries. Still, keeping a sweetheart faithful and chaste for another 12 (or 17, doesn't matter) years is quite a challenge, then or now.

This is exceptionally misleading. No depending on the when they served, who they served and where they fought changes the chances of survival drastically. In the Pannonian, Jewish, Britian, Phyric, Parthian/Sassanid , Punic and German Wars there were legions that were totally annihilated by the rebels. Take in that at the Height of Romes power they only had 300,000 legionaries at its peak and around 29 legions losing one entirely would make it at the very least a 1/29 chance of survival at Rome's best time.

@McHrozni

99.9% represents an average, not chances for every single legionary.

What a tough life these loyal soldiers led. More power to them.
