    It seems like the Suevi had studied Roman society and military order pretty well. Ariovistus knew enough about how the political system in Rome functioned to unsettle Caesar, and all of his troops knew that the Romans would try to throw their pila to disable their shields and shield wall formation. I think that the Romans had a real challenge here in comparison to other barbarian tribes and battles.

    @@davidtamayo4116 Tacitus Germania: "Rome was in her six hundred and fortieth year when the alarm of the Cimbrian arms was first heard, in the consulship of Caecilius Metellus and Papirius Carbo. Reckoning from that year to the second consulship of the emperor Trajan, we get a total of about two hundred and ten years. Such is the time it is taking to conquer Germany. In this long period much punishment has been given and taken. Neither by the Samnites nor by the Carthaginians, not by Spain or Gaul, or even by the Parthians, have we had more lessons taught us. The freedom of Germania is capable of more energetic action than the Arsacid despotism. After all, what has the East to taunt us with, except the slaughter of Crassus? And it soon lost its own prince Pacorus and was humbled at the feet of Ventidius. But the Germans routed or captured Carbo, Cassius, Aurelius Scaurus, Servilius Cacpio, and Mallius Maximus, and robbed the Republic, almost at one stroke, of five consular armies. Even from Augustus they took Varus and his three legions. And we had to pay a high price for the defeats inflicted upon them by Gaius Marius in Italy, by Julius Caesar in Gaul, and by Drusus, Tiberius, and Germanicus in their own country. The boastful threats of Gaius Caesar ended in farce. After that came a lull, until the Germans took advantage of our dissensions and civil wars to storm the quarters of the legions and make a bid for possession of Gaul. This attempt ended in another defeat for them; but the more recent 'victories' claimed by our commanders have been little more than excuses for celebrating triumphs."

Crassus and his family were not as "Stupid" as they are made out to be. I really recommend watching this video. It really makes a very in depth and nuanced investigation of what Crassus, and those under his command, did, what resources they had at their disposal, and what options they had to pursue. kzread.info/dash/bejne/nY2DrMubiM7KoJs.html

Even though the landscape has a little bit changed over the course of 2000 years, you have to realize that this is very hilly terrain : there is no unbroken line of horizon, and while they fought just imadgine the constant pressure of Caesar not being able to see his left flank, nor even knowing if other German troops might be hiding behind those hills. It sure took a lot of balls to pull it off !

In addition to your video, the 2 ambassadors Cesar's sent to parley were good friends of Cesar's himself, and after the battle the Roman cavalry's managed to rescue the 2 prisoners as they were running with their captives in chains. It is said that they were meant to be burned alive as a sacrifice by Ariovistus, but as the priests omens were not good, 4 times in a row they postponed the sacrifice before the battle... Quite lucky for them ;)

    I dont know if you noticed but the upper Rhine river is terribly misplaced in your Map . Being a Local of said Region I can tell you that the Rhine begins in Lake Boden (Bodensee) and then continues West until the City of Basel (Modern Day Tripoint Border of Germany , Switzerland and France) and then Continues relatively straight Northwards . The Rhine being a very important Border , especially in Roman-Germanic History , I urge you to change it , because on your Map the Rhine is really far misplaced. Please Upvote so they can see this .

    Caesar was a master of patience. He drew out his army five days in a row and waited for engagement but never over played his hand or over pursued. I think he learned his lesson during the Helvetian flight of the prior season. What a tactician.

    @John Not exactly. Caesar was just as great a strategist as he was a tactician. He excelled both at political power play and winning set piece battles. Only other general at least this capable to come out of this region was Napoleon Augustus, on the other hand, was more of a purebred strategist since he never took direct part in set piece battles.

    they weren't overcome by Caesars genius. Ariovistus only lost cause he happened to be a very god fearing man and caesar did what was only reasonable when he learned this, their unit tactics and martial skill was clearly greater so it's reasonable that if they had employed their full force and didn't give up their advantages due to the fear of the omens, which mind you was incredibly common among ancient peoples, would have slaughtered the romans. Essentially, caesar went up agaist a superior foe and won due to what amounts to little more than luck, there was no great initiative on his part there. then against vercingetorix he managed to get his force besieged by two armies, it was a complete and utter disaster and what would have been reasonable is a retreat out of gaul. Had in not been for the incredible heroics of Marcus Mntonius when he held off the gauls and the few elite germanic auxiliaries managing to pull off a charge so effective to rout the entire relief army it would have been over for Caesar and the battle of alesia one of the biggest military blunders in History. Pompey too won the first battle against caesar decisively, but didn't manage to capitalize on that victory as it had been achieved so easily that he feared for a trap. In none of those times Caesar displayed any kind of genius, to build fortifications around Alesia bordered idiocy. But such is the way of history, it's always better to be lucky than to be good.

    its really good video...... on my opinion, from what i saw, the main reason why ariovistus lose this battle was because of priest's words......he really had his golden chance to crush caesar when roman legion build their second camp.....ariovistus had good composition army and had enough number to crush caesar legion..... judging from strategy that ariovistus used, it shows us that he was a great general and had deep knowledge about strategy.....I believe he must be know and understand this too, but, priest said that he cant mobilise his army until new moon..... i dont know, maybe because in that time, priest words was divine and not to follow their word was sacrilage.....
