O men de, he had to make an example and show that he was impartial in his orders; nepotism be damned. There are rules and authority in both government and military must be respected and applied fairly. O de, wouldn’t it be somewhat demoralizing for the men to watch this hero be court martialed and executed despite his heroic deeds? Really sucks it happened, but Manlius Sr. needed to set an example no matter how hard hearted it was. I suppose lesser men would of let it slide and shown their obvious favoritism much to the chagrin of the rest of the plebeian cohorts, he was fair above all else.

There are so many of them. So many underrated generals. Marcus Furius Camilus (who defeated the Gauls), Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus (first dictator), Titus Quinctius Flamininus (crushed the Macedonians), Lucius Aemilius Paullus Macedonicus (who finished off Macedon and whose son would be adopted by Scipio Africanus' son. and finish off Carthage). The story of Gaius Popillus Laenas is a fascinating one- he was sent as an ambassador to Antiochus IV and drew a circle around the king, telling him not to leave the circle until he submitted to Rome's demands. Pretty bad ass.

Cloelia the Hostage is hardly known, and is one of the few women that Romans considered heroic. Scaevola, who singlehandedly (aha) ended the war between the early republic and Clusium. Or even Cocles, who defended a bridge long enough for the bridge to be destroyed, saving Rome from a direct attack by the Etruscans. Honestly, the entire war between Rome and Clusium is something that would make an amazing video.

Exile would have been a more fitting choice since Manlius was threatened with exile when he was a youth. The banished can be unbanished, but the dead cannot be unkilled. Even better if Manlius had handed responsibility of the sentencing over to someone else, but alas, conflict of interest is a modern idea.

Gravitas is not "self-control", it's a complex word but I think of it almost as someone's "standing" in society. But, it means something like the dignity of someone. Or even their "clout" would be a good word. And I freaking loved this video, keep them up thank you!

Gravitas is like the image with which you present yourself to society. The ideal is someone rational, caring but not too emotional. Like you know how to behave yourself and not act like a fool.

Crazy to think he executed his own son in probably less than 10 minutes after hearing about his brave but emotion driven achievment. If Titus Manlius Torquatus didnt execute his own son, the army would have felt betrayed, knowing the son of the dictator can do whatever he wants despite the command being "DO NOT ENGAGE THE ENEMY NO MATTER WHAT". He had no choice but to either step down of Command and kill himself and let the army and war fall and betray all men or kill his own son. However proud he might be, which father would kill his own son? How hard this decision must have been.

I love that part of the Greek idea of the ideal man was a good and loving father.

Hearing the intro music made me think of Napoleon's coronation from Epic History TY's video on him and the Battle of Austerlitz. Edit: I believe that his logic and reasoning for killing his son was pointless since it did not dissuade other future consuls, soldiers, or generals from defying either military orders or sent proclamations; despite the Romans of posterity having a deep respect for him, it was not enough to stop them from straying from his views. I would consider Caesar marching on Rome a perfect example of a future Roman going against Torquatus' example since Caesar defied the will of the senate and the Senatus consultum ultimum.

Yeah do a series like this episode that would be good

In an alternate reality where Rome never fell and stands to this day in place of the USA, those "the most interesting man in the world" commercials would've been about Titus Manlius.

Also Cincinnatus was a great role model, Cincinnati has it's name in his honor.

The first ‘NO UMMM BUT ACCCUALLY!’ But strong as hell and in charge of everyone

Cincinnatus would also be a great Roman official to do a video on.

David Goggins: hold my son

Titus Manlius was Horation Cocles from diferent time, or was champions say in TWR2 "I am Horatio Reborn!"

Gaius Mucius Scaevola, the first man to get the cognomen Scaevola, would be an interesting episode.

Thank you very much

Yes please. Tell us more.

Most ordinary men would not be able to do this to their own child , but that is what separates great leader from most of people . Rome would probably never made it trough the early stages and the history would have been totally different if it was not for extraordinary men like Manlius.
