Agricola was like the "2nd Germanicus" and the only man who almost had the complete "Romanization" of Britannia. Imperial politics and rivalries, alongside strategic risk & the drain of resources and manpower for Rome, ultimately won.

plus history didn't look with favour on Rome or Italy it's barely recognisable today and has one of the lowest birth % in the western hemisphere. Soon to be forgotten. 100 years or so.

Few conflicts in human history have shown better the absolutely devastating power of heavy infantry. The Roman equipment, tactical drill and professional discipline made them a near unstoppable force, regardless of the number of the enemy.

"They create desolation and call it peace" words that echo down the ages. Tacitus could get away with a lot by putting words into the speeches of Rome's enemies.

Feet up on a lazy Saturday afternoon with a cold beer and about to play Rome Total War, so what a nice treat this post is to put me in the mood. This channel is addictive viewing and such a informative insight into battles we could only understand through history books.

A lot of the writers and historians of that era were senators or related to them, plenty of them held the Republic in a extremely high regard even to the point of having an idealized view of it which they compared negatively with their then-current goverment, in particular the figure of the Emperor, which is fair considering figures like Tiberius, Caligula, Nero and Domitian, but not all were bold enough to express it directly, Calgacus' words here easily could be Tacitus' own towards the system itself or the head of state. Historians with more direct criticisms against the Princeps often were forced to open their veins and their works would be destroyed so is natural to find this sort of indirect approach towards the matter from those with better sense of self-preservation.

@williammcdonald2349

Imagined enemy? The 'speech' was certainly written by Tacitus but the enemy was real enough. Galgach, latinised to Calgacus was the war leader (probably not political head) of the Caledonii, one of the northern 'Pictish' tribes. The Brythonic ('Pict' was a Roman nickname) tribes facing the Roman invaders had formed an alliance, possibly even a confederation, to oust the Romans and Galgach was the elected war leader of that alliance. According to Tacitus, despite overwhelming odds, the might of Rome vanquished the barbarian enemy - strange that the Romans didn't stick around however!

Centuries later, the descendants of the caledonians, the picts would keep harassing and tormenting roman britain, the constant pictish and later irish raids would cause the britons to hire the angles and the saxons as mercenaries to fight off the other celts, but instead of going away they'd stay. The legendary king Arthur and other briton kings would stall their invasion for a few decades, but not that long after, britain would fall, and the anglo-saxons would rise in it's place.

Great stuff.

This battle is an example of the effectiveness of the Roman war machine, to the point that they were able to defeat their enemies only using their auxiliaries (if Agricola had sent his veterans before, it would have been a greater massacre, but that was not the objective that he was pursuing, nor was it worth risking his legions).

Great video

Another win for the good guys, if only every Roman General from this time was as competent as Agricola... he deserved a triumph. The soil was drenched with barbarian blood after the battle of Mons Graupius.. as a deep lover of Roman History, you're by far my favourite narrator.

Re: Site of Battle of Mons Graupius. I am about to publish online my translation of the Pictish language (in about 8 weeks time) which graphemics proves, unquestionably, to be an isolating creole language (advanced pidgin) that uses the Old Irish lexicon as the lexifier. Included in this work is the translation of Bennachie, one of the contender sites of the battle, at the foot of which hill is a Roman fort. Bennachie supposedly means, in Gaelic, "Hill of the Breast" from the shape. However, the Gaelic word for "breast" is 'chiche', and not 'chie' as it's been written since the 14th. century. There is an Old Irish word, 'chīe', (ref: eDIL), the intransitive form of the verb 'ciid' meaning "cries, weeps, laments, lamenting." Benn na chie = Hill of Lamentation. This ties in perfectly with Tacitus' description of the battle in which he describes the Caledonian tribes weeping and lamenting. Co-incidence? I have also got startling new linguistic evidence for the Battle of Dunnichen plus a complete translation of the ogham inscriptions and wholesale revision of Pictish place-names, all in keeping with the Five Components of Language. The Pictish language is dated with reference to Tacitus to the 1st. century A.D. Get ready... History is about to be changed.

"The legions came, hard hawkeyed men, war-wise in march and fray But we rushed like a whirlwind upon their ranks, and swept their lines away Army and consul we overthrew, staining the trampled loam Horror and fear like a lifted spear lay hard on the walls of Rome"

Our Highlands have a strange feeling to them. A lot of war, death and battle has taken place. Not just this battle but clan warfare. The blood is in our soil and you can almost smell it when it rains.

As a Total War enjoyer, I would have never taken a battle where : - I have to cross a river - I have to fight with the river on my back - I divide my army in 2, charge only with half my infantry (mainly light infantry), into chariots, into an army more numerous than me. Roman army was really that superior, it's hard to believe

I found Agricola's tactics interesting. Holding back his best guys like that, it makes me think he was very wary of another force suddenly showing up. Or just a strong awareness that he was at the very end of his logistical tether and couldn't afford a decisive loss, so he'd only risk auxiliaries.

@ryangale3757

Not even necessarily another force; I'd imagine he was wary of elements of the enemy force lying in wait on the flanks, waiting for him to commit his full force. Considering that would seem to have been a pretty common tactic in medieval and prior eras, wouldn't surprise me if that concern was on his mind and made him a bit more cautious.

A Gwynedd man once told me that the legions couldn't face the terrifying sight of the Welsh waiting for them on the other side of the Menai Strait. So they were ordered to wade across the strait backwards. And this freaked out the Celts.

Note , caesar calculated logistics were not ready to push into britain, he made a sound jugdement

There's no evidence to suggest scythed chariots were ever used in Britain. This is how chariots were used: "In chariot fighting the Britons begin by driving all over the field hurling javelins, and generally the terror inspired by the horses and the noise of the wheels are sufficient to throw their opponents' ranks into disorder. Then, after making their way between the squadrons of their own cavalry, they jump down from the chariot and engage on foot. In the meantime their charioteers retire a short distance from the battle and place the chariots in such a position that their masters, if hard pressed by numbers, have an easy means of retreat to their own lines. Thus they combine the mobility of cavalry with the staying power of infantry; and by daily training and practice they attain such proficiency that even on a steep incline they are able to control the horses at full gallop, and to check and turn them in a moment. They can run along the chariot pole, stand on the yoke, and get back into the chariot as quick as lightning" (Gallic War, IV.33)

Cool!

I’ve always shaken my head when empires kept expanding territory without stopping to build fortifications and infrastructure. A great way to lose it and get destroyed or need to keep coming back to pacify the lands.

I find it fascinating that what is now Scotland never fell to the Romans. Truly when you think about it, they have been fighting to keep their independence most of their centuries of existence as a people.

In the description

Thats so interesting that Tacitus wrote out a speech for Calgacus, fictitious or not, that gave a fair counterperspective to the Pax Romana.

As to battlefield orations... the Romans were actually really good at this. They deliberately chopped up their speeches into small, "punchy" segments which would be repeated by officers to reach all the ranks. It was a sequence: deliver 2-3 good sentences; wait for officers to retransmit; move on to the next piece.
