Rome and Nubia: The Forgotten War

This excellent presentation deals with the brief conflict between Ancient Rome and the Kingdom of Kush in Nubia. As the Roman Republic transitioned into the Empire and as the Roman Civil War broke out after the awaited failure of the Second Triumvirate, Egypt became a battlefield that quickly fell to who would be eventually known as Augustus Caesar (Octavian.)
Once the Civil War ended Rome looked South to a Kingdom that no longer had a buffer state to separate them and a brief war would ensue over land and material gain in a conflict known to many as the Meroitic War in which a warrior Queen known as Amanirenas
would fight to ensure the independence of her people at all costs even if the cost included those she held most dear.
This work was made possible by Mansa Myrie who is truly one of the most knowledgeable people I will ever know when it comes to the history of Africa as we know it today and the variety of peoples whose stories are etched across its domain.

    @Micheal Hnat You're living in some fantasy...Are u stupid??? I said Ethiopians were what Greeks called nubians u idiot ....can u read?? And again the merotic language is related to Sudanic language..old nubian is related to modern nubiin.. Spoken by aswan nubians... Merotic language is far from nilotic.. Here is a break down of the merotic language... drive.google.com/file/d/13co2QeibfoOzBzb_l3bTkp9feDC7Lu5J/view?usp=drivesdk Nubians live in the nubian Sahara 8k years ago.. The methodological basis of Christopher Ehret’s linguistic reconstruction, bracketing a period around 8 000 BC for Proto-Northern Sudanic (part of the Nilo-Saharan language family) Proto-Northern Sudanic language contains root words such as “to drive,” “cow, “grain,””ear of grain,” and “grindstone.” Any of these might apply to food production, but another root word meaning “to milk” is cetainly the most convincing evidence of incipient pastoralism. There are also root words for “temporary shelter” and “to make a pot.” In the succeeding Proto-Saharo-Sahelian language, there are root words for “to cultivate”, “to prepare field”, to “clear” (of weeds), and “cultivated field.” this is the first unambiguous linguistic evidence of cultivation. There are also words for “thornbush cattle pen,” “fence,” “yard,” “grannary,” as well as “to herd” and “cattle.” In the following Proto-Sahelian period, there are root words for “goat,” “sheep,” “ram,” and “lamb,” indicating the presence of small livestock. There are root words for “cow,” “bull,” “ox,” and “young cow” or “heifer” and, indeed, a variety of terms relating to cultivation and permanent houses

Like i said the merotic language is close to old nubian related to modern nubiin... Ancient sudan and modern sudan are not that different... Different ethnic groups live in many parts like they do today..nilotic tribes in the south are our brothers but the ruling class of kush were the northern Sudanic people.. Even cushitic tribes in Sudan were apart of kush.. Ok here is a drawing of nubian mercenaries by the Egyptians...

Emperors like Augustus (the first proper Roman emperor) were called PRINCE, CAESAR and later AUGUSTUS. Prince was also a military term during the Republican times ....

    Ekphrasys Caesar was named Imperator after being named Dictator. It's also the origin of the word Emperor. I don't think Sulla got that title but you're right that technically Caesar wasn't king or Emperor by title. He did have pretty much the same powers as an emperor though, and was able to pass his title through heredity unlike what the Republican constitution prescribed.

    The Roman were defeated in Nubia point blank. Kush kept all his land and remain fully independant and did not had to pay tribute to Rome and last another 500 years...The Romans, like the Greeks, like the Persian Empire did not succeded to conquered Kush. Lets face it, it is clearly not the Kushites who asked for peace but the Romans who just could not do anything so deep in Africa. That defeated occured in 22 BC and Kush was still so powerfull 500 years later. when pagan cults were banned in the Roman Empire around 450 AD, the cult of Isis remains allowed in Philæ for the Nubians only. Only a victorious empire can have that kind of privileges. Rome was defeated in Africa end of the Story.

There is plenty of evidence that they actually respected the Nubians and even enlisted them in their army.

Silly modern westerners have convinced themselves they've never been slaves and only black people were ever slaves - so stupid. Your racial version of history is actually a cage that you are choosing to keep yourself in. I hope you can find your way out.

A couple of corrections in the audio, we meant to say Julius Caesar was functionally emperor of Rome. While he had all the powers of an emperor, his official title was actually Dictator for life. Second, Nubia ruled Egypt for 88 years in the 25th dynasty. The 26th was actually the last Native African dynasty to rule Egypt before they were replaced by the Persian Empire in 525 BCE.

By all accounts Antony considered Octavian a spoiled upstart too young and inexperienced for his position. Antony thought himself the better choice and was a seasoned, gifted general. So he probably made Octavian angry on purpose thinking he could bait him east and beat him with Egyptian help.

    Or leave the place you are living in, the day before your pregnant wife was scheduled to arrive. Octavia had made the trip to get Mark Anthony to stop his conflict with her younger brother. The age difference between the two, made the relationship more mother-son then siblings. Octavia ended up traveling with her brother to Egypt. When Cleopatra committed suicide her household went into choas. Octavia on hearing of Cleopatra's death, went to Cleopatra's house to recover the two children of her husband, Mark Anthony (they were never divorced) for taking care of her husband's children was seen as a duty of a Roman wife, especially when the real mother is dead. She raised both children through adulthood, a daughter marrying a North African King. What Mark Anthony did when he made sure he would not be on the island he had been living on, leaving on the day before his pregnant wife was to arrive, made it easy for Octavian to get the Roman people and Roman Army and Navy behind him in the war against Mark Anthony.

    I’m from Sudan and recently went back to visit the motherland about a year ago. I got visit Meroe during my month long vacation. It is sad that the gold thirsty colonizers destroyed the tops of our pyramids using TNT in search of gold. Also, the Nubian language is nearing extinction. I hope our new government will recognize it and teach it in schools throughout our country. Throughout our recent political protests we referred to our Sudanese women as kandakas (warrior queens) for their bravery in protesting our military.

    ​@Zak Jansen First of all, who said I wanted to be white? Colonization paved way to many conflicts in my country. My family didn't expect the issues to be resolved in a short period of time so they decided to leave the country and moved to America. In America, my father became a physician at the world's biggest cancer center and my mother became a biostatistician at the world's biggest medical center. I am currently in medical school. My family came to America legally, became citizens, never broke the law, pay our taxes, and never used any federal assistance programs. Moreover, we volunteer regularly in America and give money to those in need in both America and Sudan. If situation in Sudan improves, we all intend to move back. America has benefitted from my family being here. So you can fuck off with that 'go back to your country' bs.

    @@danial469 On 1 March 1979, The New York Times carried an article on its front page, written by Boyce Rensberger, with the headline: "Nubian Monarchy Called Oldest". In the article, Rensberger wrote: "Evidence of the oldest recognizable monarchy in human history, preceding the rise of the earliest Egyptian kings by several generations, has been discovered in artifacts from ancient Nubia." He estimated that "The first kings of Ta-Seti may well have ruled about 5900 BC." Bruce Williams, archaeologist at the University of Chicago, continuing the research, adds his perspective. "A newly discovered ancient kingdom is always a matter of interest, but when it precedes the earliest known monarchy, the unification of Egypt in the fourth millennium B.C., then history itself is reborn. The place is ancient Nubia at Qustul, where the investigation of archaeological materials recovered during the great 1960s rescue effort has recently unveiled a birthplace of pharaonic civilization several generations before the rise of the first historic Egyptian dynasty." (Archeology Magazine) Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt" (see also: Nile Valley Civilization).

    Nubian/s is the 10th century Muslim Egyptian name for Black slaves from African Continent. 19th Century Western European historians, used this name, as to legitimize the role of Black people as slaves in Europe and the Americas. Now its being used by Afro-Centric historians, to wash away the rich and diverse history of African nations and Empires. As it does not conform to the post-modern African American vision of what Ancient should be in their eyes. We need to stop using the word NUBIA/N as their was no such thing as the "Empire or land of the Salves".

    1) ancient Egypt had already been brought to an end by the Greeks. The Romans came when Egypt was already hellenized. 2) Egypt was not in ruins. Despite some war damages, it remained one of the wealthiest regions in the Mediterranean (which is why the Romans wanted it). 3) the Romans lost what?!? There were 2 legionary campaigns, and both were tactically victorious: the legionaries managed to push deep into Kushan territory and even sacked their capital city. Strategically, the Romans gained a stable border and a safe trading passage (close to the most important trading route for the Empire), much more convenient than further military pushes.

    @@AskiatheGreat64 1 - The treaty granted to the Romans that the Dodekaschoinos was to remain Imperial control despite the invasion attempt of the Nubians and their claims, as well as war reparations like the return of the stolen statues, and also granted to the Romans the loot from Nabata and the other Nubian cities. On the other hand, the Nubians were granted to not pay tributes to Rome. I'll repeat it more schematically: > The Romans LOST their tributes but GAINED a stable Dodekaschoinos + the loot of Nabata. > The Nubians LOST the Dodekaschoinos forever + their loot on Egyptian cities but GAINED to not pay tributes to Rome. > Both gained peace and the wealth from the stable trading route. I've never claimed that the Romans won the war, and surely no one can claim that Meroe won the war. It was a fair peace treaty. "because roman egypt was starting to crumble" This is absolutely false. The Nubians were driven off Egypt as soon as the Legions arrived. Peace treaties happened when the two Legions were inside Kushan territory. Other 23 legions were at disposal of Rome at that time. 2 - True, Napata wasn't formally the capital of the kingdom, like Rome wasn't formally the capital of the late Roman Empire. But still, that was an important raid to say the least, like the Vandal and Goth raids on Rome despite the capital being in Ravenna (or Constantinople or whatever). 3 - Just because Meroe didn't win the war, it doesn't mean that they lost it. The same goes for the Romans. As mentioned, both parties gained and lost things, so that the final result is fairly neutral for both. And i invite you not to forget that the Legions were never defeated in that war, while the Nubian army was. "Common sense that the Nubians were kicking arse" Except that they were pushed back by the 2 Legions despite the huge numerical superiority and despite having the home court advantage...

    History of Early Ethiopia or Kush (13,000-7500 BC) The region known as Kush has been inhabited for several millennia. Royal Ontario Museum and University of Khartoum researchers found a "tool workshop" south of Dongola, Sudan with thousands of paleolithic axes on rows of stones, dating back 70,000 years. As early as 13,000 BC, ceremonial burial practices were taking place at Jebel Sahaba and Wadi Halfa in the northern part of modern-day Sudan (known to archaeologists as the "Qadan" period, 13,000-8,000 BC). At the Toshka site in modern-day "Lower Nubia," archaeologists have uncovered tombs where domesticated wild cattle were placed above human remains, indicative of the use of cattle in a ceremonial fashion. Circular tomb walls with above-ground mounds are further evidence of the beginnings of ceremonial burials. At other sites nearby, we can see the development of Ethiopian (better known as "Egyptian") civilization. At the Kadruka cemetery, spouted vessels were found, and the tombs at El Gaba were filled with jewelry, pottery, ostrich feathers, headrests, facial painting, etc.--all of which were present in "dynastic Egypt," and are still used today amongst different peoples of modern-day Ethiopia. The neolithic Sabu rock paintings even depict dynastic Egyptian-style boats. Just west of the city of Kerma lies the site of Busharia, where shards of pottery dating from 8000 to 9000 BC have been found. A nearby discovery at El-Barga shed light on foundations of round buildings, graves and pottery shards from 7,500 BC. Therefore Kushitic civilization began on the banks of the Nile over 15,000 years ago and was settled at least 55,000 years prior. Furthermore, based on the traditions of the first settlers and the artifacts found in this region, Kushitic civilization gave birth to that of so-called "Egypt"

    Very good video. The sound quality was a problem for me, as the narrator's voice was distorted and muffled. I had a hard time understanding some of the video. I could not hear what the narrator was saying when the drumming was going on at the start of each section, as the drums were too loud. Otherwise nicely done.

    At 2:47 you say "Julius Caesar was crowned Emperor of Rome". This is not true, he was never Emperor. He was Dictator in 49BC, 48-47BC, 46-44BC and then "Dictator in perpetuity" in 44BC, but it wasn't until 27BC that Rome got its first Emperor in Julius Caesar's grand-nephew and adopted son Augustus.

    If you really believe this side of this story which is from the Romans, then you are a fool. It is quite inconsistent with the Roman way of conducting war. Nubia was rich in gold and strategically position in terms of its geography, the Romans were defeated, I hope one day we could be able to read the Nubian side of the story through their writings.

    The Nubians couldn’t defeat the Romans. Even the Parthians were far weaker than the Romans who conquered all their territories along the Tigris and Euphrates. They had logistical problems maintaining such massive swathes of territories with their primitive communication technology. They constantly had civil wars by generals who tried to break away from Rome.

    @Best Commentseva The fact you don’t know about the city of Ctesiphon of the Parthians was captured by Rome five times in its history - three times in the 2nd century alone. The emperor Trajan captured Ctesiphon in 116, but his successor, Hadrian, decided to willingly return Ctesiphon in 117 as part of a peace settlement is proof you have no idea what you’re talking about. Rome was practically invisible during its golden age.

In German, Germany is called "Deutschland", but you don't see Germans going around online commentaries in English trying to correct people about it. There's no need to be this pedantic about using ancient Egyptian words when it has nothing to do with the point I was making about the 25th versus the 26th dynasty.

    Have to disagree, this was a clear Roman victory. First of all this was not a Roman 'invasion,' but rather a retaliatory campaign against earlier Nubian raids into southern Egypt. Just 2 Roman legions managed to march half way through Nubia, capture and destroy Napata, one of the major cities in Kush, and win every major battle in this war. Only their stretched supply lines prevented them from going any farther. Again, this was all done with only 2 legions! Furthermore, the Nubian King and his son were both killed in the conflict. The only "victory" the Nubian Queen could claim, if you want to call it that, was that she survived to make a treaty with Rome that kept her kingdom from being conquered.
