    To be fair there were so many instances where Rome could have been crushed but ended up winning due to dumb luck. People also greatly admired them and were partially willingly adopting the Roman way of life. The same can not be said for the Borg. No one really wanted to be assimilated ever. Except maybe the crazy scientist parents of 7of9. They were basically asking for it.

    I've seen the siege ramp at Masada. It's astonishing. Several legionary campsites remain, and they are visible from the mesa top. Josephus, leader of Jewish forces in Galilee, described the siege at Yodfat employing a twin ramp. In 1992-93, I mapped Yodfat National Park for the IAA. Using Josephus as a guide, we found the remains of the ramp with many concrete revetments intact. It was indeed a twin ramp built to the city wall. Large quantities of ballista shot were found by the archaeological team at the wall ramp interface. Again, using Josephus and the locations of ballista, we were able to relocate the sites of Roman artillery. We ultimately mapped the entire ruins and a 1.5 square kilometer area surrounding them. Josephus's descriptions proved very accurate!

    We have explained it a few dozen times. Macedonians were undoubtedly Hellenic, but when you differentiate between the Successor Kingdoms and the city-states/leagues, you say Macedon/Seleucids/Ptolemies and so on. It is a standard historical practice that has nothing to do with the modern diplomatic realities. There is no controversy here. Just an example of how normal it is - Plutarch - Parallel Lives - Life of Eumenes V: And when Craterus and Antipater, after overpowering the *GREEKS* were crossing into Asia to overthrow the power of Perdiccas, and were reported to be planning an invasion of Cappadocia, Perdiccas, who was himself heading an expedition against Ptolemy, appointed Eumenes commander of the forces in Armenia and Cappadocia with plenary powers. He also sent letters on the subject, in which he commanded Alcetas and Neoptolemus to look to Eumenes for orders, and Eumenes to manage matters as he thought best. Alcetas, then, flatly refused to serve in the campaign, on the ground that the *MACEDONIANS* under him were ashamed to fight Antipater, and were so well disposed to Craterus that they were ready to receive him with open arms. Winter is coming: bit.ly/2kRVWX8 The fact that video's duration is 14:53 is a pure coincidence.

We also have our legends, as Viriato and Sertorius, our sieges and battles, as Numancia, and horrific stories, such as the mass suicide of the Cantabric people. Also, it was in Iberia that the Pars Occidentalis of the Empire first begun to fall, when Galecia was taken by the Suebi in 409. Interested?

How would someone know that the enemy was marching toward him? How would someone know how much time he had to fortify the city? How would he know that the east coast of somewhere had been crush 2 months ago? Stuff like that. 3- When you're presenting the army - for example, the army X was composed by 500 light cavalry, 2000 heavy infantry etc. - put some images of the troops on the screen, so we know how they were. Thanks a lot for the videos!

    To answer your second question: people. Human intelligence goes back as far as urban warfare. You gotta who you're fighting, where they're coming from, what they're good at, who they distrust etc. Information has always been the most important part of war. You can get it from locals (fleeing or under occupation) who can get it from traders/slaves, who can pass it onto spies and scouts. Now Rome only made the latter policy and put into regular practice after they'd already conquered half the Mediterranean, but the relay of communication and verification is what has created every empire. I have no doubt that Sargon and Darius' troops were no more elite than any others they fought, but that internal discipline, preplanning and information networks were the best of their times. Allied tribes in foreign lands make all thr difference. I imagine traders more often than not found themselves involved in military preaction.

    Goths and Vandals were butchered so many times in two centuries that they could prevail only after roman civil war. Arabs came after a 200 hundreds years war and Turks primary victory came for the treason of Ducas noble family against Romanus IV. The only people that actually matched Roman power were Persians under Sasanid Family and at last they lost at Ninive.

    Anyone interested in Roman siegecraft simply must visit Masada. The remains of multiple Roman siege camps surrounding the fortress have been preserved to this day and partially restored, and you can also see some reconstructed siege engines, not to mention the massive causeway the Romans had piled up to the walls which are 300m (~1000 feet) above sea level. Also, there's a great view of the Dead Sea from the top! :D
