I mean, they have a certain type of armour that they used for a very long time, not the bloody segmented one though. It was a type of helmet rather, and there is the chainmail which continually evolved and outlasted the shortlived but iconic segmentata.

It's even worse, sometimes they use entirely fictional armours, sometimes those fictional armours aren't even shown in the period they were *allegedly* used in, like with HBO's vikings where in one of the promo shots for a new season we see byzantine officers dressed in leather musculata. I guarantee they know how ridiculous this is, but they don't expect their viewer base to know they're dealing with the remaining eastern half of the Empire unless they give them leather muscle armour, and those silly parade helmets that someone saw on Trajan's column (on very flamboyantly dressed praetorians who's kit is all wrong anyways) and decided that every Roman officer must have worn that exact helmet.

The hoplite is not accurate towards the Regal period, though. In Dionysius' references to the regal "phalanx", he is likely using the word phalanx as a general term for a standard infantry unit. Given the environment of Italy, and the irregularity of Italian warfare of this time period, it's reasonable to assume the Latins used a much shorter spear than the standard 12-14 cubit Greek sarissa. The most common Latin shield of the regal period would have looked like a cross between the scutum and a thyreos, and the "standard" armor would have been made with boiled leather unlike the linen armor used by Greek lower-class levies. (linen clothing and linen armor was ubiquitous across Indo-European cultures, but the Latins are unique in that they used mostly wool and boiled leather. There's no direct evidence of the Latins using linen armor until later on in the imperial era, where you have statues depicting emperors in Greek-style linen armor, and the early A.D.s when the legions were using a padded linen jacket under chainmail. The Etruscans, about a century after the end of the regal Latin period, were certainly using linen armor, that may have been influenced by Magna Graecia. It's likely that the Latins may have sparingly used it as well, but linen armor was cheap, wealthy Latins would have used boiled leather and metal, and the lower class Latins would not have been able to afford linen imports. There's maybe a small niche in Latin class III levies who may have used linen armor once in a blue moon.) The wealthiest class of Latins would have used a rounded shield similar to the Greek shield depicted in the video, but in conjunction with metallic armor, not linen. The helmet in this video is not at all like anything the Latins would have ever used. The majority of latin levies would have used headgears roughly similar in appearance to the negau-type helmet. The wealthiest Latins, the ones with the rounded shields, may have used full-protective helmets similar to what the the Etruscans were wearing as well. You have to keep in mind that ancient soldiers were rarely ever uniformed, and the regal latins were even more irregular than that.

Why not 1204 (the sack of Constantinople by the crusaders, and the start of the new "Latin" Empire)? If the Nicaeans (who conquered Constantinople from the Franks and "restored" the Eastern Roman Empire) can be considered as the legit continuation of the Roman state, why don't we consider the Usman/Ottoman as legit continuation as well? After all they (the Ottomans) also claim the Roman title. If you think Orthodox Christianity as the prerequisite, then Muscovy's/Russian claim as the 3rd Rome should be valid. Therefore I argue that Roman Empire lasted till 1917. IMO the definitive "Roman empire" is the one in Italy, with Italian culture. It fell in 476 AD (or in 480 AD when the rump Roman state finally annexed into Odoacer's Germanic "Italian kingdom"). IMO Eastern Roman Empire was *a* Roman Empire, but *NOT* THE Roman Empire, just like Latin Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Seljuk (Rum/Roman) Empire, Ottoman Empire, and Russian Empire. They are all a Roman empire, but NOT the Roman empire.

Early republician hastai, princepii, and triarii were spearmen, hoplite (in janked way) before they encountered the samnites of Latium and magna gracia. Then they adopted and utilized the Samnites as a forward line in front of the Roman hasati. Since the swordsmen at the time were able to weaken the other italian tribes at the time. Then through cultural exchange, the samnites and Roman Hasati kinda became one. (Which is why the samnites were so pissed by the time right before Julius Caesar. The samnites literally fought as romans for nearly 300 years and still didnt have full rights in the Roman Empire until 70s bc.)

Even in the Principate, the legionaries did not look the same.

It could be worse. Because of „300”, there are really people there who thought that Spartans went into battle with all they vital organs exposed.

First republic hastati looks so cool

The smug look on the Hastatus was probably accurate too “Tf you gonna do about it, nerd?”

Thank god for the camera man safely traveling through the different periods of the Roman Empire and bless those Roman soldiers by showing him their weapons, armor, and shields

I suddenly possess an uncontrollable urge to purchase a giant shield and a short sword

People of the past are always so much more colorful and more patterns than popular media represents

​​@@bobsonpl2068I mean they literally were called Eastern Rome the entire time until modern historians made up a new name

I'm sure it's probably just cheaper to make the last costume and spray paint it a vaguely metallic color, but man would it be cool to see an army of earlier Roman soldiers in a movie.

According to a book I read. The shields are not entirely made of metal but are mainly made of many layers of animal skin and feathers stacked on top of each other.

Late republic remains peak drip

The mid republic princeps guy looks like he could actually be a soldier from that time period

During the time of Flavius Aeitus (that is during the Hunnic invasion), the Romans used trousers.

I love that post civilizations used such bright and immaculate colors, absolutely gorgeous uniforms.

What do you mean post civilizations? Post means after, are you saying they were after civilization? It wouldn't even make sense if you said pre civilization because they are a civilization. I think what you're looking for is the term ancient civilization.

If we gonna die we dying in style. Sign of class and cultural influence/dominance.

Legionaries are what most people think of and I'm pretty sure was the largest troop composition across its long existence. The classic roman soldier is a legionary with the spear that they usually throw during battle and an assyrian blade at thier hilt with the classic armor and concave square shield.

The start of the monarchic era (basically the start of Rome) the military was organised like so: War bands, commanded by a chieftain, were completely devoid of uniform. The foot soldiers of these bands were typically armed with a lightweight throwing spear, a small shield and they would have a helmet made of either wood or metal. The chieftain also had a similar spear, but he also had a shortsword. This sword was his symbol of authority, along with a somewhat decorated metal helmet. When Servius Tullius came to power, he introduced the class system to the Roman Kingdom. This extended to the army, and the 1st class were the hoplites as you see at the start of this video. In the 2nd class, they had less armour, but they had large curved rectangular shields. Then the 3rd class only had a metal helmet and a metal plate across the chest, and a spear and a flat rectangular shield. The last classes were by far the lowest run, only with slings and no armour.

Man, the idle animations are so realistic!

They used both sword and spear just like most hoplites did. Also makes sense you got backup. Spears can get damaged or break. That’s most cav units also got multiple weapons, or javelinmen

Thanks for putting your gladius in the right side

They feel like they're the same unit with different skins

Imagine getting beat by a Legionary with a STICK!!

Finally someone who understands history

These animations are legendary

HASTATI! I immediately heard the total war sound.

bro unlocked every skin for the character

Thank you for doing this. Early Roman armor is fascinating to look at. It's a shame we don't see more historical variety in media.

"This movie is set during the time of the Roman Republic" Late-Empire Legionarries testudo into frame

The hoplite-monachic is magnificent ❤

Thank you for the illustration, it's a treat to see the evolution of arms and equipment

The triarii of the early republic where basically just suped up land owners (for those of you wondering why this is important, it’s because pre Marian reforms, in order to be in the military you needed three things, to be a citizen of Rome, to own land as proof you can afford the equipment, and lastly to buy your own gear, yeah up until the Marian reforms you where expected to provide your own equipment, this is why early Roman armies didn’t look uniform with their late Republic Marian reform counterparts) with combat experience, they made the veterans of the Roman military at the time and it’s document that triarii still acted as a spear infantry type trooper with a thrusting sword backup and they continued to perform like hoplites. The showing for the early army would better be named as principes, as these where still decently armoured semi veteran soldiers who didn’t use spears after the early reformations of the military due to the Samnite war, unlike hastati and principes, triarii never stopped using the spear. Rest is very accurate, very nice, never understood why in movies they always show the late Republic Marian reform legionaries and not any other version.

The fact that you added the vitis for the Centurion 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

That first hastatus looks incredible
