Lmao it's interesting how modern historians always assume that ancients spoke in metaphors and always exaggerated when in reality they probably stick to the truth more than even we do today. Great video btw.

Great video! Thanks again for collaborating with me; you were a pleasure to work with!

Aurelius Vitalis and the others could never have imagined that their names would still be spoken, and their memorials remembered, nearly two millennia later by people half a world away.

Interesting how even the roman scouts couldn’t detect such a sizable force concealed in the wooded hills. Just goes to show how much the Germans knew the land and how it adds up to the fear factor from the point of view of a legionary, seeing as they could quite literally come “out of nowhere”.

Lots of Roman history video releases today. A good day it seems.

That was a wonderful video. I thought at first you were taking poetic license with the names and details but you soon showed that everything was well-sourced. Just subscribed to your channel.

This was a very cool video. You elevated the tactical play-by-play of the battle with depictions of the men who fought there, and by backing up your remarkably detailed description with the evidence from the battlefield itself! Thank you very much, subscribed.

The blocks were great for showing troop movements and the animated fights just blinded me with the scope of this battle. The eulogies of the warriors who lived, who "made sure it was done" are kinda staying with me. Great storytelling elements in these three examples specifically and throughout the video!

Excellent video! I visited the site last sunday and walked around on the trail on the Harzhorn, where a lot of information about the battle can be found on signs. Right now i am actually in the process of creating my very own video about the Battle of the Harzhorn, cool to see you dealt with this highly interesting subject as well.

Everything about this video is great. The quality, the mention of the sources, the use of correct 3rd century models...

The added names of Roman servicemembers are a very nice and even welcomed touch.

I came here after watching Told in Stone's video. You both did great work. Very interesting. Thanks.

Great profile on a little known Roman battle. Even with the calamity of the third century, it goes to show how the Romans were still quite capable of giving the Germanic tribes something to fear.

Came here from toldinstone!! Love in-depth looks at battles like this! Subscribed

Your work deserves way more recognition. Great narrative, great visualization even with limited resources.

I love the animation, it's not fancy but it's very clear and effective at describing the events along with the narration! Keep up the great work

I think, you're doing the finddensity a great wrong. The battle of the Harzhorn is the best preserved battle of all antiquity! More amazingly so as it has only been excavated since 2009. The finds were so well preserved, that the roman track, the positioning of the armies and (as you mentioned) even the field of fire of the roman balistae could be recreated. For a historian and especially an archaelogist, the Battle of the Harzhorn is an amazing pot of gold.

Visited at the suggestion of

Amazing work dude. Love that you included your evidence and context. To me this really sets your channel apart. Interesting to think that thanks to videos like this one these individuals' names and legacies are remembered nearly 1800 years after their deaths.

Amazing video, glad that you covered this underrated battle.
