As much as anything else, a dedicated medical corps did ensure the legion's successes...but where did that come from? Maybe it's about time for a look at Roman ideas of public health and how they all fit together?
The clips at 6:20 and 6:59 are from Legio XX Deva Victrix Reenactment group, based at Park in the Past in North Wales. Could this group get some recognition as this would be a third group that helped make this video.
Reminds me of the conversation in _I, Clavdivs_ between Claudius and his Greek doctor. "How did you learn so very much about human anatomy?" "I was a legion doctor for a decade.The army leaves a lot of research material lying around."
Reminds me of the great doctor of Marcus Aurelius' age, Galen -- the most significant ancient doctor and one whose ideas are still followed in some places -- who began as his professional career as doctor to the gladiators of the High Priest of Asia in Pergamon. He claimed that five men died under his care as opposed to sixty under his predecessor...

As a former combat medic, this has been the most interesting topic so far! Do we have any specific examples of the treatments that a wounded Roman soldiers would receive on the battlefield?
Apparently the medics also had a chisel type of device where a hopeless case with no hope of recovery could be dispatched with the chisel being thrust through the spinal column from the rear.. euthanasia.
I also think there needs to be an emphasis on the sheer amount of soldiers who would die from non-combat related causes and secondary causes compared to actual deaths on the battlefield. Even as late as the Crimean War & Napoleonic Wars, having almost 10x the amounts of deaths via non-combat was considered somewhat normal, despite how much more advanced their medicine got. Penicillin/Antibiotics (and cleaner, non-bacterial filled water) were the best implements of warfare known to human history.
The Royal Navy did pretty well for their survival rates for amputation, mostly because of the speed the wounded sailors got to the surgeon who was generally only a few decks below. They worked on a first come, first served basis, which left Admiral Nelson waiting for a while for the surgeon's attention after he was fatally wounded at the Battle of Trafalgar. ...It still wasn't a _good_ survival rate, certainly by modern standards.
Yes! So correct. I wonder who where these "super soldiers" like Caesar whom survived in time one cut on your thumb couldve been deadly. Better DNA? Alexander the Great killed by flu or alcohol. Both?
Reminds of the the scene in Rome (the series) when Titus Pullo suffers a head injury and has surgery done on Vorenus’s kitchen table. RIP Ray Stevenson Long Live the 13th!
I took heavy inspiration from your video about a roman legion on the march for the D&D campagne I'm DMing, and this one certainly will help me further. The party currently is scouting and will lead the next march. Thanks a lot for all those videos!!!❤
Dude was so freaking influential that when people centuries later learned the center of the nervous system was the brain and not the heart - they refused to say that Galen was wrong and instead stated that Humans had changed since his time. At least that's how the story goes
Everything that in any way relates to logistics and upkeep of any army is top content, this one in particular! Btw, the Finish word for surgeon is "kirurgi", quite close to the term ancient Romans used! Glad the equipment has evolved though 😂 Great video as always!
I have been a History Fan since I was a child and I’m a medical doctor today. The History of Medicine is arguably one of my favourite topics, and Roman Medicine was always something that stirred great curiosity in me. Thank you for this great video! I’ll be expecting the best episode with great anxiety!
I learned in the army early on always become friends with the medics😊. My oldest was a combat medic in Afghanistan and he stopped the bleeding of a wounded soldier who leg was almost blown off.
Thank you so much. I always learn a lot. I just wished your channel had been around when I was a college student studying Roman History back in the early80s
Videos depicting great battles are all fine and dandy, but it is videos such as this which truly showcase the truly grand scope of Roman civilization. To be so organized in such detail at such an early stage in our history boggles the mind!
Fantastic! I have been requesting and waiting for good documentaries about ancient military medicine for years! And while I see myself as quite knowledgeable of history and teach history, I must admit that I knew extremly little about ancient military medicine and even less about how it was organized. This documentary gave me a thought. What to do with these great military hospitals during very peaceful areas with few soldiers who got wounded in combat, life in the field or from sickness? My guess is that many civilians in the Roman provinces could get medical care if they paid fo it, or perhaps even for free as a gesture of good will? If so, that would be another great incentive to appreciate Roman dominance in the long term. Also, these hospitals would naturally have served as medical schools for civilians in occupied provinces who wished to improve their knowledge in medical care. Very important and interesting video. Keep up the good work.
Very nice video i was waiting for a long time. Romans did not fight for a patient like our doctors do.If the medic decided the soldier was to badly wounded to have a resonably chance of surviving,they were given some sort of anesthetic(yes romans knew and used an opium based anesthetic) and tge soldier was left to die with little to no pain in a separate room.
@@InvictaHistory It was both a practical choice and a religious inspired one. Why waste manpower and supplies on a soldier with a low chance of recovery,who most probably,if he survive,will never fight again,when you can use them to save other wounded that have a higher chance of survival and rejoining the army? Also,they believed that the fate of men were in the hands of the goods,who will decide if that soldier survive or die. It has also driven by the limitation of means and knowledged of the time.
Never thought romans medical understanding this sophisticated. Love to know about their contributions to medical field in a video. I have seen their urinary stone removal devices in the museum. They are scary looking but marvelous for their time.
It's amazing that the military medical system of 2000 years ago really... hasn't changed all that much in 2000 years. They had it figured out. I mean yes, obviously the two aren't equivalent, but having field medics on site to rush wounded men to a field hospital for certified specialist treatment, and then transferring them to the regional hospital (with plumbing, record-keeping, and what's basically a pharmacy) for long term palliative care is simply incredible. All of this done either by hand or horseback, with records kept on paper.
I like these documentaries so much, I also like to imagine myself as a soldier or a member of the time your covering in the video. I’m currently a medical student, so this episode was much more interesting, I always believed Romans would just cover their injuries with a leaf and move on.
Superb video sir. Best Historical YT channel there is. Could you please create a video on the Medical proficiency of the Hospitallers, Order of st. Lazarus and more Crusader Chivalric orders whom excelled in Military + civil medical care all across the Medieval word?
Roman military medicine is actually way more impressive than I was expecting. It's insane how far Europe regressed when comparing this era to the medieval and even early modern eras of medicine. I also wonder if roman civilians would have expected to enjoy a similar level of quality and care in terms of practice and physical infrastructure?
80 years old and still serving ? That's something else. I was in Iraq 03-04 when I met a battalion surgeon who , a long time ago, was once a line medic in the Korean War. Im only half way through but i hope to hear how the soldiers protected their medics. Because my boys and I did. Believe you me, if you dislike happiness, and want to ensure that you have the worst day ever , then might I recommend to mess with an infantry man's medic.
Now this is definitely interesting. in the next episode do you go into what they could actually treat? Like in ancient times, what could an eye doctor do 🤓? How would in Roman times a broken or shattered bone be treated? How might an infection like bronchitis or pneumonia be treated? They didn't have antibiotics 🙂.
I think you can say that the Roman medical care was not only exceptional for it's time - but also (in Western Europe) for the next 1.000-1.500 years. I mean if you look to the Medieval, Early Modern and even later times up to the 17./18. century...
Very interesting! I'll have to look at the sources you mention in the description (thanks for that!). Just two pronunciation checks: _clerestory_ is pronounced as 'clear storey'; _chiurgus_ should be pronounced /ki.'ur.gus/, not with an English /ch/ sound (it's a Greek loanword into Latin and that 'ch' is pronounced like the 'ch' in Greek words in English like 'chiasmus' or 'chaos').
If army doctors were offered the same retirement benefits as the regular solidery, you have to wonder how sought-after they were for colonies and settlements manned by those same soldiers. And as for those high-ranking doctors who were technically centurions, how many of THEM were sought after to become recalls, or "evocati," after their enlistment was up?
Could you make another video on the Anatomy and Tactics of an US Army Infantry Battalion during WW2, similar to how you did the True Size Of US Rifle Company (1944)?
In so many ways the Romans were very advanced. Their level of knowledge and technology was why, after their empire collapsed, nearly the next 1000 years was called the 'Dark Ages'.
One of the most fascinating facts in this piece is that the Romans were sterilising their medical instruments and taking measures to combat or avoid sepsis. I didn't think that came about in Western medicine until the mid- to late-19th century.

The UA-cam algorithm promotes drivel instead of great content like this and it's a real shame. You produce some of the best documentaries.
Let's be honest most people watch youtube for entertainment and not "education"
the algorithm brought me here lol. It just auto played in the background
Agreed. These videos are so informative and easy to understand that they could easily have a place in formal education, in History class.
The algorithm showed me this video, it shows exactly the kind of videos you watch frequently
What are your specific critiques of the video? How might they make the next one better?
The Roman military, the medicine and the baths are some of the most fascinating subjects I’ll never get bored of learning about.
Looking forward to the M. R. S. H. : Mobile Roman Surgical Hospital series!
Honestly though, I would absolutely binge watch that series.

Search: moder surgions look at Roman surgion tool kit. Youll be amezed.😱
Invicta undoubtedly does the best coverage of Roman history on yt. They never run out of topics! Just shows how rich the history is.
Would love to hear about specific medical practises, plants and tools used for specific wounds/illnesses etc.
The surgeon's tool sets were particularly impressive and only matched in the 19th century Europe. There's a complete set in a museum in Italy
Apparently the medics also had a chisel type of device where a hopeless case with no hope of recovery could be dispatched with the chisel being thrust through the spinal column from the rear.. euthanasia.
I never thought this topic was so fascinating! these guys were so ahead of their time
Never thought I'd hear doctors and medical staff be called unsung heros before
I looked at the thumbnail and thought you were reviewing a boardgame called Medics & Hospitals
M8 I thought it was monopoly with extra buildings o.o
I would totally play a board game based around the life and experiences of a medic assigned to the legions of ancient rome!
😂🤣😅🥲
Ppl like you remind me I’m smart
My first thought was Roman Monopoly.
Actual Roman Legions: One of the most sophisticated, advanced, and organized medical systems.
Fallout Caesar: "lul no medicine. Have some powder."
I also think there needs to be an emphasis on the sheer amount of soldiers who would die from non-combat related causes and secondary causes compared to actual deaths on the battlefield. Even as late as the Crimean War & Napoleonic Wars, having almost 10x the amounts of deaths via non-combat was considered somewhat normal, despite how much more advanced their medicine got.

Yes! So correct. I wonder who where these "super soldiers" like Caesar whom survived in time one cut on your thumb couldve been deadly. Better DNA? Alexander the Great killed by flu or alcohol. Both?
If you can believe this up until the introduction of antibiotics a quarter of the population of industrial nations still didn't make it past 12.

Thank you for this. This is an often overlooked topic.
Great video! I've always wondered how the wounded were treated in ancient times. Well done!
Galen was ahead of his time
Trauma medicine after the fall didn't equal what Rome had until about the US Civil War.
Dude was so freaking influential that when people centuries later learned the center of the nervous system was the brain and not the heart - they refused to say that Galen was wrong and instead stated that Humans had changed since his time. At least that's how the story goes
Yes, though "galen" means crazy in some Norwegian dialects.....
Beyond his medical expertise; One of his recipes is the basis of all modern cold creams- that's quite a legacy...
