Well the real copycats were the romans who copied: the gladius (the original name in fact was the gladius hispaniensis which meant spanish sword..) from the spanish tribes,the manipular system from the samnites,the religion and art from the greeks,the acquedocts from the etruscans,and the lorica hamata (the chainmail...) and the shield from the gauls
The Romans were never shy about copying something that they saw was great. After seeing enough of Seleucid and Parthian armies fielding Cataphracts, the Roman Empire slowly incorporated them into the army.
Fair, they also wrote themselves into Troy in the aenead. However their government structure and diplomacy were unique and allowed them easily absorb those other traits
Not just cost and training... Also warfare itself changed a lot it became more complicated... Like Phalanx stooped being effective because everyone became aware of tactics. Also structure changed, quite often on battlefield professional generals who was educated for countermeasures
Couldn't Copy but can beat the Legions if they knew it's weakness such as the Infamous Battle of Tetuoberg Forest by the Germanics lead by Arminius & Carrhae by the Parthians
Děkuji ti za video.Mám ještě otázku.Mimo mojí první,ohledně arabských čísel.Proč se přestali používat dvoukolé vozy ve válce?/Thank you for the video. I have one more question. Apart from my first one, regarding the Arabic numerals. Why did two-wheeled vehicles stop being used in the war?

Good list. And the helmets evolved from Celtic tribes. Architecture from Greece. Agricultural techniques from Carthage.

Good video, but you forgot the Numidians, who raised legions copying the Roman style, albeit a smaller quantity, and not as well trained.

From where do you take the ilustrations for your videos? They look so good
Thank you! A lot of different history books, Pinterest etc.
