    From what i read, it's very likely that the 36th legion were at half strength. Most veteran legions pre-Augustus(pre-empire), were at half strength, unlike the imperial era legions which were manned at full strength when possible. This is cus pre-imperial legions would disband when they reached old age, sometimes colonies are formed in conquered/unstable regions. And, during caesar's time, there was no restriction in the number of legions being raised. Whereas in imperial rome, agustus capped it at around 22 legions.

    As the video mentions this shows the difference between experienced and new legions, despite having the same equipment. The Romans were pretty much constantly expanding their empire and had lots of veteran legions, which gave them a huge advantage against the armies of smaller countries that would mainly field inexperienced troops.

    @@Thraim. yeah, experience is a massive factor. And even only decent Roman generals usually carefully cultivated experience in their armies. The Silvershields made a similar tactical retreat after their side broke and fled...in one of the Diadochi Wars. A unit made up of veterans all over the age of 60. These were individuals who received a Silvershield for performing in battle, under Alexander having been in about 50 battles with Alexander, and then some more in the more than 30 years of constant warfare that followed Alexander's death. They weren't just veterans. They were elite individuals who became hardcore veterans and put into a single unit. These guys were the very definition of hardened veterans. Unstoppable on a battlefield and feared by even those they fought for. These old geezers calmly formed a sqaure, cut their way out of envelopment and professionally marched off the battlefield like they owned it. Untouchable. Antigonus feared them and had their commanders, Antigenes and Teutamus, killed...after having took hostage their baggage train, that contained their families and more than 40 years worth of loot. And then sent them in small groups on suicide missions to kill them off. Probably the most hardcore group of men to ever set foot on any battlefield.

The Turks were the great teachers of genocide at the beginning of the 20th century, committing these two major genocides and a number of smaller ones. A decade or so later, Hitler and Stalin, their pupils, began their own attempts at genocides and mass killings.

    Holy crap i thought the Romans would win. The Pontic cavalry was poorly utilized and put in a very disadvantageous position, as soon as they routed and when the Elite Legionaries came upon the Pontic troops from the rear i thought the battle was sealed. 😮 Respect to the Pontics for withstanding the onslaught. Though Pharnaces II's brilliance of digging ditches was perhaps the key factor overall.

    Thanks for the details of a battle I knew next to nothing about. Caesar also had to pull together a mishmash of forces to confront Pharnaces at the battle of Zela. Pretty well all of his veteran legions had been sent back to Rome because they had essentially refused to fight on. If my memory serves me right, he just had one veteran legion, the 3rd, and it was seriously depleted. But that was all he needed when Pharnaces launched an uphill attack while his troops were building a camp. It just required that the rest of his army hold their ground and let the veteran 3rd Legion go to work and send the Pontic army packing. Caesar wrote "veni vidi vici" in a letter to a friend Amantius, in Rome and I believe it was intended to convey the message that victories against armies in the East, like those achieved earlier by Pompey, did not amount to much. Thanks again for your great presentations.

    Love these Hoc Est Bellum collabs! The dude (Hoc) has absolutely lovely maps, best in the biz. I just wish he would get himself a narrator because damn is it hard to tell what he's saying. Not because of his accent, either. I feel like that's a big part of what keeps his channel from getting views.

    Thank you very much for your encouragement, i really appreciate it! Yes, i was hoping that my accent wasn't that thick and i also thought, "well what the heck, Arnold made huge Hollywood hits with a thick Austrian accent.." haha! But indeed, the narration part is as tricky as the rest of the video making procedure and probably more difficult to improve upon.

    The only Roman legion in Domitius army was the veteran 36th (with numbers depleted due to battles and toils and consisting less than 3000 soldiers) the rest were 2 legions of Deiotarus made from local recruits and trained in Roman fashion and one newly recruited one. However the 2 ditches in the video were not across the battlefield but parallel with each other and stretching from the city to the battlefield. Pharnaces placed his cavalry outside the ditches on his wings and his infantry between the ditches. The 36th repulsed and routed the enemy on the right wing and crossed the ditch to attack the infantry and started to rout them. All this as per Caesar's 'Civil War' a truly outstanding and captivating reading. Edit: after Caesar subdued Egypt and made it a vassal state he turned against Pharnaces and defeated him. Why not make another video?

  • @richpontone1

    I fault Caesar on this as he did not think strategically this one time. He could have not gone to Egypt as Pompey was not going anywhere with no Roman legions under his command. As he was beheaded by the Egyptians, he was no threat to Caesar. Being with Cleopatra was just a romantic interlude as she was no threat to Rome with no real army behind her. While Calvinus was a loyal general to Caesar, he was also quite incompetent as a field commander. Caesar was the real military genius and with two additional legions that had been sent to Egypt to rescue him, he would have easily defeated any military threat in Asia Minor. Further, he could have also attacked the Parthian Empire to avenge the disaster of Crassus. He was going to do that anyway, once he returned to Rome to attain the position of Dictator for Life. Unfortunately, he was assassinated when he did return to Rome.
