  1. I hate videos like this as they appeal the the male fantasy, being paid an indemnity of 500,000 asses.

  2. How did each Roman consul have an army twice as big as the largest armies that medieval England and France could muster 1500 years later?

  3. This channel is awesome!
    May I be so bold to suggest some potential topics for future videos? As a Dutchman I'd love to see you guys cover the siege and relief of Leiden (1574), and the events in the 2 years leading up to it. Multiple towns were sacked and massacred by the Spanish already, and Leiden, the 2nd largest city of the country was next on their list. A landslide defeat at Mookerheide allowed the siege to be briefly lifted and the city resupplied. And we finally broke the siege of Leiden (and the dominance of the Spanish army) in a last ditch all in effort with the addition of numerous mercenary forces (Germans, Flemish, Scotts, English), and the seabegger fleet. After weeks of fighting to secure the roads and levies to Leiden, the lands around Leiden were then flooded. They sailed over 70 ships up the rivers and canals to provide artillery support and relief for the city, and attacking the Spanish positions over the flooded fields on over 200 small boats, flatbottoms, barges and whatever else floated. And/or otherwise the events of 1672 "het rampjaar", the year of disaster. The French (Louis XIV) teamed up with the English (Charles II), with Köln (Maximillian Henry of Bayern) and Münster (Prince-Bishop of Münster, Bernhard "Bombs" von Galen). And the 4 of them simultaniously attacked the then Dutch republic. The English by sea, the French from the south via Köln, and Münster in the east and north-east. "de regering radeloos, het volk redeloos en het land reddeloos", meaning the government was without council, the people were without reason, and the country was doomed. They came real close to breaking the country. Oh, yes, and we ate our prime minister … William III of Orange became warden (stadhouder) after that, you know, the same guy that also became king of England.

  4. The romans had the right combination of martial culture. Imagine a leader today doing something like the devotio, impossible. That's how you foster social cohesion, if the elites themselves are ready to take the greatest risks and are willing to commit the ultimate sacrifice
