Gli 🇺🇸americani credono di scimmiottare la potenza di Roma che non bombardava a tappeto prima di attaccare. La potenza militare di Roma è inimitabile.

I don't recall there being much on the "Marian Reforms". Our only two sources of any supposed reforms by Marius comes from Plutarch, who mentions Marius introduced a change in pilum design and Sallust about the land requirements. However Sallust never actually states that Marius did away with land requirements. The actual text: www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.02.0126%3Achapter%3D86 It is not stated that Marius did away with land requirements, rather he ignored them for one specific campaign, either because there wasn't enough good men around. Marius did nothing new here, other commanders had done so previously. The Romans ignored it in 281 BC when they fought against Phyrrus and in 217 BC against Hannibal. On the most extreme end Sempronius Gracchu raised an army of slaves. It's obvious that there's nothing much to support the "Marian reforms" and the actual evidence is pretty abysmal.

Marian Reform isn't a single event. It's a series of changes, like privatizing legions and making them loyal to generals rather than the state, changing recruitment requirements, etc.

Marius's reforms included introducing the Eagle standard,making the army a full time profession,plus getting the legionnaires to carry their own equipment hence the term Marius's mules, making them physically stronger & more flexible in the process, also the Romans were getting absolutely slaughtered before Marius took command, so his reforms were pretty major
That was the best presentation of the Roman military system I have seen yet
Wonderful video. What a great military machine was the Legion!
That was the best visualization I have seen as to why the Roman Doctrine was superior to the Phalanx. I have heard it described a million times but never could get why until the very end of this video where it was demonstrated very well. Thank you.
This is so far the best military visualizations I've seen so far. I liked that you guys showed the smaller units and how they interacted in the battles. I remember reading and seeing information on how the Spartans had even smaller specialized units in their legion groups. Would be interesting if you guys ever go over how complicated it can get. Great work!
A video from you is a rare but enjoyable treat, keep up the good work
Best presentation ever .Amazing work, all very clearly illustrated and to the point.
How I wish this channel was around when I was younger.... production quality and the depth of analysis truly appreciated!
I've been watching quite a few battle recreations and I must say, in my opinion, yours are the best!
Thanks. This was brilliantly put together, by far the best explanation of Roman battle tactics that I've seen. I'm looking out for more!
These videos are amazing! Thank you soooo much for them!
Another golden channel :) greeting from Serbia... I love the idea, and animation...Will recommend and share :))) keep it up !!!
Finally!! more content! been waiting for this for a while now! Awesome! Love this channel!!!! =]
Subbed. Your animations really bring the battle tactics to life.
Great job on this video! It was an amazing mix of knowledge and entertainment.
This is so well done. Keep them coming!
Honestly the most interesting channel I've ever stumbled across on YT. Subbed. watched everything. Can't wait for more!!!
This was very good! Especially the part about manipular flexibility. The voice was also a very welcome addition.

Wow, that was so informative and explained everything in great detail. A lot of time and effort has gone into the research and making the video. Thank you so much👍
You are a treasure. Thanks for the excellent videos. I wish you success in your goals!
Well done! Thanks for sharing. It's incredible that this much detailed information about Rome is available after about 2200 years.
Wow! Simply superb, great job!
It took you some time (pretty sure you were busy) but this video is very good. A very well trained and equiped roman army lead by a general that knows what he's doing is your worst nightmare if you decide to attack them.
one of best videos i have ever seen . very rich of information and very nice graphic work well done
Really well done, very informative.
An absolutely excellent presentation
Great vid mate, very informative and enjoyable.
Amazing work as always.
Visually great and also informative. I've never subscribed that fast before! Keep it up.
nice to see you upload again
I'm a recent subscriber. Other than a small audio issue on the 2nd Julius Caesar video you have wonderful content! Another comment mentioned that the quality rivaled the History Channel and he's correct. Keep it up and ignore the comments about the adverts. I realize that you have to make a living. Thank-you.
You gave a lot of useful information. Great video!
amazing video! awesome job
Outstanding!! Would love to see the same presentation for the Imperial legion through the fall of the empire. Wonderful stuff, very informative.
Awesome video and very good narration 👍🏼
Its whole new level with a voice over! Great job!

Great content
I loved the video and watched it all- great job- but was surprised to see the word "equipment" misspelled in a video that was so obviously carefully done.
A very good video, thank you!
Very informative... Thanka for the narration, BTW..
Very good. Thank you
Brilliant video!
Absolutely excellent!
Love the added voice over! Will you be covering ancient warfare in Asia too? Would love to see your take on Mongolian, Thailand, China, Japan, etc
Now this is a top-quality youtube video!

A few Latin issues, but the tactical section was superb - really insightful. Taking everything Polybius writes at face value is a bit risky, but I appreciate there's not a lot else to go by! A very good summary of how Polybius perceived the Roman army at this time.
In a role play game I am a general, this is the material I needed for a long time. Thanks
