    A statement that is correct only if it is assumed to be correct (which the Germans did, which in turn affected the outcome of the battle, and therefore, the truth or falsehood of the statement) cannot be called true in modern logic.

    I agree with you, but it wasn't just correct because it was assumed to be correct, it was also correct because it played out in reality (regardless of whether that was solely due to the Germans' belief or not). Yet, our modern sense of "truth" seems to depend on both rejecting self-fulfillment (as some kind of dysfunction) and giving equal consideration to the possibility of another result having taken place. It's very interesting when you think about how stringent our expectations of "truth" are these days...no wonder we scarcely believe anything to be "true".

    7 жыл бұрын

    Self-fulfillment isn't really the problem, the main problem is with whether or not anyone can predict the future. If anything, our modern sense of truth sees the notion that someone could predict the outcome of a battle with any meaningful level of certainty as optimistic at best, charlatanry at worst. Self-fulfillment then means the "prophet's" attempt at influencing others around him played an important role in the events leading up to the situation the prophesy was talking about. It's not a dysfunction, it just happens when you look at enough people doing it. If anything, we look at it with cynicism. Then, I do not call the outcome of history false, that is obviously what reality once looked like, if only in part, and maybe not to the last detail. Most importantly, though, taking the possibility of choosing another action and getting another result from it is part of what physicists call "realism". It is necessary for ideas like free will, morals and guilt: without it, we cannot be assumed to have any free will, since no other action than the one we took in the end is important. And if there was no other possibility for events to unfold than the one that happened in our past, why should I be guilty of anything: Guilt depends on having a choice, then choosing wrongly. Now all this sounds far-fetched, but people better at explaining it than me have found and published a direct logical connection between rejecting the notion of realism and rejecting both free will and guilt as currently understood by our society and jurisdictions. So unless you think those two ideas and all they entail are not really all that valuable anyway, I think you'll have to accept realism or you'll run into a lot of inconsistencies between your view of the past and your view of the present.

    @gamiezion

    7 жыл бұрын

    yes and no. being a knight in roman times was a lot like being a medieval knight, minus the emphasis on actual family history (though knights were allowed to spin wild tales if they wanted). the joke also implied the wealth the roman soldiers got from the war, in terms of actuall booty, (farm) land and most of all; slaves. another side of the joke was that the soldiers were pushed to an extreme. gaul was the first province (compared to contested strips of land here and there) to be added in well over a century. meaning none of the other roman soldiers did more then patrolling, gambling and the allied request. which means that the soldiers were treated badly (in a way).

    Not really,equites in rome weren't really upper class because of their military status,rather their economical one. Knights are good at fighting,so their lord gives them a horse.Equites were merchants and good at making gold,so they were rich enough to buy a horse in a time of war(roman citizens before the marian reforms had to buy their own equipment when mobilized). I think that's how they got the name.

    I think an important part of this conflict that was left out of your video is Caesar's account of how his men were initially too scared to fight (Caesar claims that many were actually crying) and were ready to give up. After an inspirational speech from Caesar, where he claimed that even if they fled, he himself would lead the fight with the tenth legion, whom he knew would stand beside him if all others fled, his army regained their resolve. Also, if I recall correctly, it was members of the tenth legion whom Caesar chose to join him on horseback for the meeting with Ariovistus.

    Hey HC, i've just started reading a book called Pax Romana: War, Peace and Conquest in the Roman World and one of the chapters summaries the early stages of the Gallic Wars and in particular Caesar's relationship with Ariovistus. Your video really helped me digest this pivotal moment in Roman history and I feel like I understand the subject so much better now that i've seen it through your eyes, so to speak. Keep up the good work man, you're one of the best history channels on the site right now.

    Hamish Woodland According to The wikipedia page for Publius Licinius Crassus: "Caesar gives Crassus credit for accurately assessing the status of the battle from his superior vantage point and for ordering in the third line of infantry at the critical moment. Initiative is implied. After the Suebi were routed, the horsemen pursued those who escaped, but failed to capture Ariovistus." So it sounds like Caesar was happy with his decision and proud of him for taking the initiative. Marc Antony was another of Caesar's subordinates who distinguished himself in Gaul by making good decisions on the fly, and Caesar loved him for it.

    somewhere in a paralell universe, Crassus won some minor shit in parthia and came back to rome in a pompous triumph, Caesars Daughter Julia, who was the wive to Pompeijus did live a long and happy live with her husband, and Caesar became a bit less powerhungry after his gaulic wars. The Triumvirat, decided ruling the republic was way to difficult and got less and less involved with politics. Caesar would buy his interpreter a nice villa in the albanian mountains. And a small but comfy domus in rome. The Interpreter would become a known linguist. He devoted most of his time into making a Gaulic Dictionary, as well as translating the best Gallic Folktales and Legends into Latin. The Romans loved these tales. And the Gaulo-phillie became a well known Art period in the middle Republic. The Translator would also become a Roman citizen, and marry the daughter of a rich Muletrader. his great great Grandson would become senator, and his great great great grandson would be consul. The daughter of set consul would marry the great great great grandson of Oktavian, a distant relative of caesar who was known for beeing one of romes most formidable civil ingeneers. Up to the current day the: "historiarum Gallicum" , are a standard piece of Literature, in Gaulic studies.
