If you want some more odd Roman trivia, my favourite bit is that the Emperor Claudius once killed an orca in combat according to Pliny the Elder: "A killer whale was actually seen in the harbour of Ostia, locked in combat with the emperor Claudius. She had come when he was completing the construction of the harbour, drawn there by the wreck of a ship bringing leather hides from Gaul, and feeding there over a number of days, had made a furrow in the shallows: the waves had raised up such a mound of sand that she couldn't turn around at all, and while she was pursuing her banquet as the waves moved it shorewards, her back stuck up out of the water like the overturned keel of a boat. The Emperor ordered that a large array of nets be stretched across the mouths of the harbour, and setting out in person with the Praetorian cohorts gave a show to the Roman people, soldiers showering lances from attacking ships, one of which I saw swamped by the beast's waterspout and sunk.- "Historia Naturalis" IX.14-15.48

This definitely makes sense, because Hegra (Mada'in Salih) in northern Hejaz was occupied by the Romans since 106 AD. Aden, on the south coast of Yemen, became a haven for pirates preying on the lucrative trade route to India. As a result, the Romans sacked Aden around 200 AD under the reign of Septimius Septimus. It was the furthest reaching Roman military expedition that I know of, along with the Gallus Expedition into roughly the same area under Augustus and the expedition up the Nile River, which reached the swamps in today's South Sudan.

Wasn't the latter expedition you mentioned from the Nile to the swampy marshes of South Sudan done under Emperor Nero in and around early 60s CE? Also, in terms of the Roman-Indian maritime trade explorations, there was a relatively short window throughout the year, from mid-spring to - late summer where trading ships and ventures were made from Red Sea ports like Berenice down the Gulf of Aden into the Indian Ocean to modern-day western Indian coastal ports. The Romans usually employed third party intermediary groups to help learn, research and trade more effectively with far-flung Indian traders. Its even been speculated that ancient Roman traders, using third-party contacts, worked with and imported goods, spices, gems further away like Malaysia. Many Ancient Romans had limited knowledge or information about Indian subcontinent, most individual Romans probably imagined or made their conclusions based on ancient Greek historical accounts of Alexander the Great's brief military forays close to modern-day Karachi. India, was this wild, dangerous, unimaginable country full of almost unique, unknown demonic monsters or creatures similar to those found in Hessiads Theogony or Ovid's Metamorpheses, or Virgil's Aeneid. I also know that quite a few of Rome's military conquests during Trajan in Armenia, Mesopotamia, eastern Turkey, parts of Northern and Central Saudi Arabia(Romans called this area the Empty Quarter) and even parts of modern southern Georgia---after Trajan's death in 117 CE in Mesopotamia, Hadrian abandoned or withdrew Roman legions from some of these newly-won provinces or negotiated them back to their former Parthian rulers in subsequent peace treaties.

May be roman soldiers were sent on that island as an effort to make that route safer for the traders so that they could navigate through red sea and reach to egyptian ports.

It's not trivial: As you point out, the equivalent distance in an opposite direction stretches as far as Greenland. If the Romans were capable of actually establishing a base that far into the Red Sea, they almost certainly sailed further on behalf of exploratory voyages. While little or nothing may remain to be found of such conjectoral expeditions, other, still farther outposts just might some day. All this at least suggests and potentially indicates possibilities for ancient ventures further afield, both East and West. Controversial evidence for Roman influences in early Imperial China and even pre-Columbian America have been known and hotly debated for many decades.

Well, the point is about outposts, not about traders. Yes, traders (since most of them would also be explorers in search for exotic goods). And most likely they brough roman culture and coins with them. But the video is about outposts. An outpost is a physical foothold, a part of the territory. To maintain an outpost you should be able to supply it without relying on the surroundings too much, garrison it and also be able to send in reinforcements in time if it is attacked. This means there is a practical limit towards which you could make those things. It makes sense to have one at the entrance of the Red Sea since traders from Persia and India would pass through here to reach either Egypt or go southwards on the African coast.

If you're going to make this video, you at least have to discuss the relations between ancient Rome and India.

There's infinitely more clickbait potential there if you really put your mind to it.

Antoninus Pius is your clue. 138 AD he donned the purple. Rome was in no position to support the outpost by the end of the third century. The nonstop chaos in Rome caused an external shrinking. Nice vid. Most folks have no clue outside of Europe and North Africa.

Grammatically the title should technically be “Rome’s *farthest* Oupost”

Actually, Rome's furthest outpost is a trading port on the East coast of India. It was excavated by Sir Mortimer Wheeler.

From what I understood on Wikipedia, he found Roman commodity there that proves that the Roman trade reached India, but not that there was a Roman outpost there.

Loved the sense of humor. And of course the trivia. LOL 😂 😂

Making short informative historical videos might be a pretty good sideline. I found this quite fascinating oh, maybe you might want to do some other outposts of the Roman Empire???

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Very entertaining!

I laughed so hard on those first few seconds... almost spit coffee all over your face on the screen. :) Tyvm for the laugs, your videos remain a favorite!

Great video! Love your sense of humour.

Cheers, thank you. This is a truly great piece of trivia and I am enriched for knowing it now. God Bless and thanks again.

Very cool, thanks Milo!

You're my favourite, Stefan! That cold open! You're too good.

Makes me think of some of the guys serving in fort sup in Michigan before all the expansion west.

x/x, you've earned yourself a plebian subscriber! Really liked the ending, trivia is all I fill my brain with. A walking encyclopedia of unnecessary information to tell no one, LOL!

Brilliant. Love your work. Thank you.

We sailed The Red Sea/port visits up and down the coast; U.S. Navy. It's also crazy to think Moses parted it as well..big time epicness.
