I never stop being amazed by the insane logistical feats of the Roman army, I never knew that they dug a canal all the way to lake Flevo. It's insane that they dig a canal like that just for the sake of a single military campaign!

Caesar as having some trouble with Germans crossing the Rhine - so - he bridged the Rhine - went about causing trouble for the Germans - then went back across his bridge - and destroyed it so the Germans couldn't use it. The message - "I can build one of those any time I want." .

Yessss!!! Amazing video as always Baz; so happy to see you do more battles of the Roman empire. More please :)

first time I'm hearing about Drusus, definitely underrated. I wonder if Germania would have been fully annexed into the empire if he lived for another 20 years.

@walter1946

Жыл бұрын

Drusus was the brother of the later Emperor Tiberius and the father of both Germanicus (Germanicus got his famous agnomen from his father, not his own accomplishments) and the emperor Claudius. He was a huge figure in his day though his passing did little to effect Rome's presence in Germania. Rome would continue to exert dominance and influence into Germania until it's decline, the fact that it never became a formally annexed province had little to do with military ability.

@vitanus

Жыл бұрын

That depends if he would have stayed in Germania for much longer which is doubtfull since he would have been Augustus successor instead of Tiberius. And Tiberius and Germanicus both couldnt subdue the Germanic tribes after Teuteborg ... but once Drusus became emperor, maybe he would have launched another campgain, thats possible at least

@@walter1946 Germania Magna was only occupied for a couple decades as the video explains, but the Romans occupied the western side of the Rhine River for centuries and they did have formally established provinces there: Germania Superior and Germania Inferior. Modern cities like Cologne, Mainz, Trier, and Xanten were all founded as Roman cities, as was Augsburg in Bavaria, founded as Augusta Vindelicorum in 15 BC around the time Drusus was first active in northern Germany.

It good to have you back

I read that Drusus wrote a letter smack talking Augustus and how they should return to the Republic :O Since he had the loyalty of the legions, it isn't hard to imagine he could have made a move :o

"Chief, we spotted a Roman Legion marching east of the Rhine!" *Polka music and pretzel eating stops*

Terrific video! It's amazing how this channel has developed and improved over the last few years.⚔🔥🙌

Drusus was not just a general but also and important character in the story of the first emperors of Rome as well, he married Antonia Minor (Mark Antony's daughter) One of his sons bore the nickname Germanicus for his father's accomplishments and his other son Claudius who conquered much of Britain, had a son called Britanicus (for his father's accomplishment too).

Lol i started rewatching some older Videos a couple days and now you uploaded a new Video. Letsgo

Nice! I'm thinking of alternatate history where Drussus survived his fall from a horse and, at only 30, could possibly have changed history.

Every day BazBattles posts is a good day

"The second part of his plan was to be executed by his step-son, Nero Claudius Drusus... who was tasked with establishing strong bridgeheads east of the river..." hits a little different in the initial part of the sentence than say "The second part of his plan was to establish strong bridgeheads east of the river. This would be executed by his step-son Nero Claudius Drusus." Who else thought he meant that the man was about to get whacked like some Roman mafia scheme?

I always wonder, the later roman's inability to tame Germania - was it a testament to how good the first tyrant Caesar was as an enslaver or is it a statement to how unconquerable the frozen north is

@ericconnor8251

Neither. The Romans didn’t see much economic value in Germany as far as the Elbe River, and were content with holding the Rhine River instead for centuries, establishing provinces in both the Rhineland and Bavaria further south where they founded what is now the city of Augsburg (and other cities further north like Mainz, Trier, and Cologne). They clearly viewed the British Isles as more financially appealing (especially for tin and iron mining) since they conquered most of Great Britain. They built the Limes Germanicus series of forts from the Rhine to the Danube Rivers but in Britannia they built Hadrian’s Wall in what would become northern England and the Antonine Wall in what would become the Scottish Lowlands.

The answer is simple. It was unprofitable for Rome to master and maintain Germania. An primeval, underdeveloped territories devoid of urban centers, but settled by a poor, savage and aggressive population, lacked profitable sources of resources to exploit (such as the Gallic and Dacian gold deposits). Simply put, the costs exceeded the expected profits.

But there would still always be someone hoping to find glory and get an imperator claim through conquest. Antony and krassus for example lost their legacies roaming into the desert for this glory. Even if its some young general looking to seek this glory, why didn't they conquer Germania. The only thing I can think of is that the land of Germania is untamable. Frozen wastelands causing massive attrition. Kinds like what Russia did to the Reich and napoleon
