Welp it was that or die for cowardice. Also, life was tough as is. This made sense for them. War leads to spoils.

Such an interesting battle, the way that Caesar and Vercingetorix maneuvered their forces and used fortifications seems almost modern in comparison to many ancient battles.

Experience is the teacher of all things. Julius Caesar

I was lucky enough to visit the battlefield of Gergovia (mountains of France). It's quite amazing. Caesar did not have the high ground. There is a very ancient temple on the highest summit. It must have been exhausting moving up and down in full armor. Then I flew to Rome that day. It is eye-opening to realize how great the feat. Vercingetorix must have been gob-smacked when he was wheeled into the Forum and killed.

This was also another famous high ground defeat. In America Civil war General Thomas broke Confederates center at Missionary Ridge during the Chattanooga Campaign. Confederates guns on high ground couldn't shoot against advancing union forces, because the slope is too steep so confederates couldn't point the guns toward the foot of the ridge. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chattanooga_Campaign

@@sanfordwong Similar for Garibaldi at Calatafimi. To launch a frontal assault vs. an enemy that was on top of an hill, superior in numbers and far better armed seemed like pure madness, but the terraced hill made so that the attackers were visible from the top only in the few moments required to climb the steps, not giving them time to aim, and stressing the troops, that, thus keeping on firing, were not able to inflict serious casualties, until the attackers were at bayonet distance.

Being able to beat not only the Romans, but Caesar himself in a pitch battle is a huge feat of arm.

8:58 I think you might have switched the legions of Sabinus (& Cotta) and Cicero. Sabinus was utterly slaughtered with his legions, but afterwards Cicero withstood Ambiorix long enough. They were relieved by Caesar and survived the revolt.

@ottovanlemonocle2037

5 жыл бұрын

Absolutely right, I wanted to point that out, too. I have read Caesar's "De bello Gallico" many times and Sabinus and Cotta where the ones slaughtered. Cicero (the famous orator's brother), even though personally suffering from illness when attacked by Ambiorix' forces, resisted effectively long enough to be relieved by Caesar himself.

Great video, just one thing. During Ambiorix's revolt, he first destroyed the Roman detachment of Sabinus and Cotta at Atuatuca (A great story BTW), then besieged the detachment led Quintus Cicero in Nervii territory. This detachment was then rescued by Caesar. In the video, it is incorrectly shown to be the other way around with Cicero's cohorts being destroyed and Sabinus' besieged. Just a little thing. Still a great video.
