🚩 I'm very pleased to have worked with Dr. Byron Waldron on this project. His research and incredible insight into the Crisis of the Third Century made this series possible. The Crisis of the Third Century was one of the darkest periods in Roman history. By 270 AD the empire had practically disintegrated, but emperor Aurelian managed to string an unprecedented series of military victories to restore the Roman Empire. Dr.Waldron will be releasing a book later this year (2021), titled: "Dynastic Politics in the Age of Diocletian, AD 284-311", so make sure to keep an eye on that.

Honestly I didn't think you could up your game again but once more you've proved me wrong. The extra little animations and details helping show the facts are great.
@@itarry4 Thank you very much :)
@@HistoryMarche I know you say what units each are using and separate cavelry from infantry but any chance of a little on screen image for what each unit was like and what they're armoured like. You give the names but it'd help to understand the tactics etc.
How are you going to make another roman video WITHOUT finishing the Hannibal series ⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️
Nice video and very informative and very entertaining and very satisfaction more videos.
That was an epic series. Perfectly retold from beginning to end. Thank you for your hard work!

@Joshua Mills i want to learn about history and critizise if possible
@Joshua Mills Ignore adnan. He is probably a bot. He spammed the same reply on other comments including my comment.
Aurelian was pulling some pro chess moves
The last time I was this early, I was still alive.
Ave Aurelianus!
last time you were this early, Zenobia was still celebrating a triumph with your doppelganger
@@RexGalilae Haha
That bastard was so afraid he had to forge a fake order of execution, thus ensuring you will not punish him.
@@romelnegut2005 Eros that fucking snitch
Tetricus, turning around while abandoning his army just before the battle: "bye, suckers! You're all gonna die! 😁"
Haha, pretty much. When Tetricus abandoned his troops, I pictured that scene from Braveheart when the Irish defected mid-battle. Add to that, maybe Tetricus mooned his troops as he crossed the battlefield, that would've been a sight.
Yeah, I still don't get why he slaughtered all those thousands when he could have just killed Tetricus or something? Why weaken the entire Roman-German frontier? For pride?
@@mr.c.3760 I think the issue is that armies in this period raised up men on their own to the Purple, occasionally against their will. So it's less that Tetricus was a rebel and more that the army was the rebel that had to be crushed (i.e. they'd have just replaced Tetricus).
«Hehehe, these Gallo-Romans will surely just surrender! »
@@mr.c.3760 Because it was the Rhine legions that were rebelling, not Tetricus himself. The Gallic Empire had originally been founded by Postumus, though he was killed by his men when he tried to prevent them from sacking Mainz. The Rhine legions then chose another man, Marius, who was more compliant. Marius was then replaced by another man, who was then replaced by Tetricus. The Rhine legions were out of control.
Had Aurelian only killed Tetricus, the Rhine legions would have chosen some other leader to lead them and Aurelian would have accomplished nothing except killing someone who was willing to help him out. It was necessary to wipe them out.
The empire was proved not good enough to deserve an emperor like Aurelian. Killing him like this was a crime against humanity.
Amazing video as usual, by the way.
Thank you sir. Yes, Aurelian indeed was met with an anticlimactic end.
Reminds me like stillico rome fell because even if they had good converts to their culture they kept killing them, did you know stillico defeated Aleric.....

Glad I read the footnotes to know where this was coming from.
reminds me of caesar in how he dealt with his defeated enemies. And it says a lot that, with only 5 years in the purple, it feels like he honestly earned the right to be considered among the true great emperors
Him and Caesar are the only Romans who had to essentially reconquer the map of Rome piece by piece. Maybe Constantine?

I really like and appreciate, that you cover not only the battle part or the military part, but the political, economic and administrative and other parts, it gives the video the historical events much more depth. If HistoryMarch puts up a new video, it's always a new masterpiece. Thank you so much for making these videos and please keep up the amazing work!
I'll have to revert to a smaller project in the next one though. As much as I love doing projects this big, they are quite draining. For the past 30-35 days I've been working 12-13 hour days, no days off, in order to finish on time. So I need a bit of rest and an easier project for the next video :)
@@HistoryMarche Wow. Well although I’m sure you’re aware by now, but the time put into these videos show! Amazing stuff.
Perhaps someone has already asked, but I was curious if you (guys?) in the future intend on covering Alexander’s battles? Especially the ones in/by India? I feel like those are somewhat overlooked by channels similar to yours.
@@JuTakii I'll do a series about Alexander, similar to the Hannibal series. Basically as soon as I finish Hannibal, Alexander's journey and/or Caesar in Gaul are up.
@@HistoryMarche Of course, you don't have to be Aurelian, who's always on the march and wow, you've done quite a lot of work! Impressive!
@Historymarche Historia Civilis and Epic History TV have already done that, actually, so you'll have to at least match them. Good luck!
Those poor Clibinarii. Training for years to become expert horsemen clad in the finest of armor, only to be whacked by some dude with a stick.
It was quite a big stick.
Thats what happened if you only use muscle without planning
well one clibanarii would be superior to one light cavalryman, but's that not how battles work.
The Roman Calvary were well trained too. They just fought differently.
@@protocetus499 The Russians did pretty well using muscle from 1942-1945.
An epic conclusion to the Aurelian story with a tragic twist in the tale
Couldn't be more Roman
If this make you feel better when the Officers realize both the deception and what they had done they along with the army feel into a fit of grief. The very officers who murdered Aurelian were good friends of the Emperor and after realizing what they had done they too feel into fit of grief. Soon they’re grief turned into anger as they found out that Eros, Aurelian’s Secretary was the one who wrote the fake list. They track him down and painfully executed him as revenge for making them kill Aurelian all to protect himself because of his corruption
@@ethanramos4441 thanks for sharing, at least Eros got what he deserved.

So Aurelian fought the Gallic empire at the Cataline Plains that is foreshadowing if ever I saw one
Place of great battles of Antiquity
General, their cavalry is crushing our cavalry. What are we to do?
Aurelian:I know! Let's use our infantry to chase down their cavalry!
Wut?
Certainly the Clibanarii were not involved in a chase at that point, but had succeeded in bringing Aurelian's cavalry to a full-on fight, which is why Aurelian had to respond since that was not his plan. While the two cavalries were engaged in a massed battle, they would not be very mobile, so Aurelian's infantry could catch up and attack them from the rear.
@@Escap1st7 Don't disrespect the legion's jogging power! They trained for this. They ate whey protein, mixed in with modified PH water, and did pilates every day.
That was invented by Pontius pilates Calfinium!
Infantry are like...2 legged small cavalry.
thinking about it, if this didn't work Aurelian would've been hailed as the dumbest emperor ever
faster than Aurelian beating the barbarians
I don't cry at anything! But.... that thing.... what they did to him... it makes me sad :(
Indeed. Quite an inglorious end for the man.
He was dumb saving every of his former enemy, as Caesar did. Both brutally killed.
Augustus killed every one, including sons of Ceasar.
Gests of mercy don't work when it comes to real power. When you want to life longer you have to purge the political field around you.
This need to be done at least for political stability of the state where lots of people involved and they expect to live peacefully.
@@impaugjuldivmax bruh, Aurelian wasnt killed by his enemies, his death was literally caused by a man that doesn't do his job properly
@@mrJohnLevi We dont clearly know. when his accountant was killed after the death of Aurelian, people who killed him said that they have been just fooled by an accountant and did not really planned any conspiracy. They survived and the case was closed. But I dont believe in such stories.
More likely, military commanders decided to kill him because they tired of constant wars, unlike Aurelan who intented to wage another campagne on the East. When Aurelian saved the life of the revolted Gaulic and Palmyran Leaders, it is obvious that legates from these rebellious regions joined his army as well. And they was not loyal to Aurelian.
@@impaugjuldivmax We do, it was because Aurelian showed no mercy to his defecting commanders that cost him.
Therefore really, he should have shown more mercy, not less.
In a case of Caesar, he was conspired against more than his own doing. Although, I think he enjoyed his dictator power a little too much and the senate (fearing the republic would fall) had to make that stop.
Then again, he was very cut throat (Caesar), if you have read his sieges in Gaul and his squashing of Pompey. (sent his decapitated head to Cleopatra if I am not mistaken.)
Augustus was a nutcase, but a lovable one. But you kind of would if your uncle was Caesar.
Just wanted to point out how those creepy sounds when barbarian invasions are shown, always send chill down my spine and really make the whole atmosphere more immersive. Such a small effects brings to mind how terrified the citizens of Roman Empire must have been.
Great videos, great narration! Thank you for all that!
That's so kind of you. Thanks for watching
You mean tribes of people looking for somewhere safe to live? They were not the horrific threat as it’s made out. In fact many so called barbarians settled relatively peacefully within Roman territory and came with rich cultures of their own.
Imagine being a soldier guarding the gate and wall before seeing your fellow comrade being portrayed as the Roman emperor and then later seeing Aurelian himself leading his army beyond the walls,must have been very confusing
It's a fair assessment that many in the crowed likely peed their togas.
Omg he escaped and came back to us! Just like Caius Julius Caesar with the pirates who held him hostage
Damn why always the great commanders have bad endings? Like damn have some respect to such mighty figures who changed the course of history !
It sucks so bad. Julius Caesar? Stabbed by about 12 people while working. Aurelian? Killed because some cowardly corrupt guy forged his signature. Maybe being an amazing general remembered throughout history comes at the cost of an anticlimactic death. And if it makes you feel better, the soldiers who committed the assassination later found out about the forgery, and we're so guilt stricken they murdered the fuck out of the guy that conned them
@@sporkafife Hannibal too. Shafted by his own senate, then forced to kill himself decades later

Thank you sir.
Put on a Friday, i watched 7 days later, lol
“That some were driven over the cliffs and were dashed to pieces at the precipice below” amazing description, amazingly narrated.
Aurelian should have a month based on his name, like Caesar and Augustus. September should be called Aureolo.
The olo in Aureolo looks like a weenie. D:
Maybe "Aurelianus" is better...

One of the upsides of being a total history noob is that I can watch this and actually feel the suspense, waiting to see how this will end.
Haha, fair enough.

Welcome to 21st century
When my interviewer asked me about an interesting character from history , I told about Aurelian and how he restored the empire within 5 years of his reign . I caught their interest as well as the job 👍
Haha, that's awesome

Good Idea! Lucky you, your interviewer had this knowledge, i could’nt say the same about the ones who interviewed me

To think he took the two highest leaders of territories that entered into a war against him, to then make them members of central Rome. The man is force of nature with that type of thinking.
Couldn't agree more.
Aurelian: Emperor, soldier, restorer, reformer, general, gentleman...
Excellent video on Aurelianus campaigns, I hope to see more content on the Middle Imperial period.
But why choosing anachronistic helmets for Tetricus and some other characters?
You could have used Niederbieber and Heddernheim helmet types, who were the overwhelming majority during the Severan dynasty and Crisis of the Third Century timeline.
If some of you are curious about the appearance and equipment of Severan dynasty/Crisis of the Third Century era Roman troops, I recommend:
-"Roman Infantry Equipment : The Later Empire" by Ian P. Stephenson (it focuses exclusively on the 193-284 AD timeline)
-"Legions In Crisis, Transformation of the Roman Soldier, AD 192-284" by Paul Elliott
-"The Army of Maximinus Thrax, The Roman Soldier of the early 3rd century AD" by Dr. Jan Eschbach and Stefano Borin
-"Excavations at Dura-Europos, 1928-1937, Final Report VII, The Arms and Armour and other Military Equipment" by Simon James (focused almost entirely on the 3rd century AD Roman garrison until the fall of the city in 256)
Best regards,
Hugues
When it comes to magazines, I suggest :
-"Ancient Warfare (Dec/Jan 2009) : Rome in crisis: the third century AD"
-"Ancient Warfare XIV.5 : Breakaway empires of the third century AD" (soon to be released)
For those who can read in Spanish:
-"DESPERTA FERRO, número especial XVII : La legión romana (V), La anarquía militar"
(P.S.: this last one is a BEAST, it has a level of informations and illustrations about the period in "just" 80 pages that is unparalleled!)
That's some awesome feedback, thanks! Tbh I wasn't paying attention, this was just a case of "creative license" when picking the look of commanders.
I also like this video and I ignore any anachronisms in it. It’s most like content and history for me then visualisation. But I agree with you about equipment, I also would be happy to see more accurate details.
I have to admit that my knowledge of how armour changed over time is pretty minimal. It's never been the focus of my interest. But it's always useful to be reminded of these aspects of Roman military history!
26:51 - 26:57 the pain in my chest suddenly... became... to much for meeee 😢😭😭!!
Indeed. Sad end.
Imagine being present at Antioch the morning after Zenobia's retreat, or being there to witness Zenobia being paraded throughout the Syrian cities, or during Aurelian's triumph, or meeting Zenobia in old age (if that story is true)...
You have a ridiculously good channel, and the narration is just excellent.
A tragic end for such a genius of a general and emperor.
If Aurelian lived the empire would have been rejuvenated for sure.
Amazing work my friend!
Indeed. He met such a anticlimactic death :(
Thanks for stopping by my friend!
26:50 I shed some manly tears ... great video HistoryMarche!! Keep up the great work!!

Thanks! Yep, will be doing a few episodes in June/July.
@@HistoryMarche hehe boay cant Wait:))
I enjoy using Google Maps to see what these places look like today compared to ancient times. That huge lake northeast of Antioch which both armies had to maneuver around is now farm land. If that had existed back in the time of this battle it would have drastically changed things. Antioch seems like a fascinating city to visit.
Yep the lake was drained within the last 200 years to make room for farmland.
Uploaded at a perfect time, now I can feast while being entertained by my favorite history YT-channel. My sincere regards, good Sir!
Thank you sir. Enjoy your dinner :)
roman history is always a joy to watch!!
Not if your a gaul.
Are we 100% sure that Aurelian specifically went to campaign against the Goths in 275?
There are some sources that claim it was not certain why he headed east, but some others say he was preparing a massive offensive against the Sasanian Empire, to take advantage of their turmoil at home.
It's an interesting controversy. Whereas the Historia Augusta claims that Aurelian was heading east for a Persian campaign, Syncellus and Zonaras refer to the Gothic campaign. The Historia Augusta is more unreliable in general, but Alaric Watson also gives a number of other reasons why the Gothic campaign is more likely. 1. John Malalas tells us that Aurelian was fighting an ongoing campaign in Thrace. 2. We know that Aurelian's successors Tacitus and Florian were also fighting Goths in the region, in Asia Minor. 3. I'll directly quote Watson: 'The literary sources imply, and some even explicitly state, that Aurelian was on the march when the assassins struck. The exact location is described by most of these sources as being ‘between Byzantium/Constantinople and Heraclea’. The order in which the cities are named hints at travel in a westerly direction. This is made explicit in a fragment of John of Antioch. Aurelian’s presence in that area might therefore be explained by the military requirements of his Balkan campaign, and indeed he may have used Byzantium as an operational base. The HA reverses the names of the cities, thereby implying that the fatal march was heading east, towards the Euphrates frontier.' We should also bear in mind that both Probus and Constantine were preparing for wars against Persia when they died, and so the Historia Augusta may well be conflating the fates of these emperors. Aurelian probably would have marched on Persia sooner or later had he lived longer, but whether he was planning on doing so in 275 or 276 is a more controversial matter.
@@byronwaldron7933 yeah, I've read pretty much all of the sources you mentioned and I'm in agreement.
Love those long but so intresting documentaries!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Epic video as always. Before this video my favorite roman was Belisarius but now.. i have doubts.. Aurelian was such an MVP. Really good strategist both in battle and politics and he pardon a lot of his rivals which kinda makes me feel he was such a nice and kind guy. Well maybe it was all politics and following Caesar path of mercy with your enemies which worked out alright for him😅
“RESTITVTOR ORBIS”
AVRELIANVS deserved this title
Very well done series! By the end of part 3, I would have put on armour and marched with Aurelian!
Thank you. A like and comment to feed the algorithm. Good work as usual !
Thanks for that!
The commentator, battle presentation and background sounds all is perfect keep it up
The emperor I most admire. He took a crumbling empire, and in 5 years he had restored empirial authority, and the empire's territory integrity

@@HistoryMarche hope he's doing ok in these trouble times. Great video.

Rome had a many list of restorer Emperor, Emperor Majorian also like Aurelian restored the Western Roman Empire with just a mercenary army and a handful of Roman Army, but was betrayed by his general.
REST IN ETERNAL PEACE EMPEROR AURELIAN(RESTORER OF THE WORLD)
Just hearing the narrator tell Aurelian's death hurts my history buff heart.
Sad end indeed.
Pain peko...
Fact: after Aurelian’s death the truth was discovered and the soldiers felt ashamed and hurt. While the officers were executed for their crimes Eros got a special punishment. It is said that the men tied him up around a tree naked and give him to the wolves.
Kings and generals made a vid about this also
@@skyhappy he did yes. Highly recommend everyone to watch it if they haven’t do so already.
By showing clemency, Aurelian made sure that Palmyra will fall from within.
What a great series.
This series for Aurelian is the best historical documentary I have watched in a long while. Thank you for the top quality content!!
Aurelian, a great man who died a most inglorious manner.
Rest In Peace, great emperor.
Definitely my favourite history channel. Uploading videos more often would be great.
One of my absolute favorite channels! 🤙🏻
I think another reason why Aurelian sent part of its own infantry backward to aid his cavalry was to give the enemy an impression that the main body of the army was already destroyed. Afterall, they did not have satellite back then and can hardly know what happens to the battlefield few kilometers away. This act of gamble ended up routing both part of the enemy army at once. Aurelian is someone who only appears every few centuries and it is sad to see such great person killed by petty man and its schemes
Just a correction, Aurelian was first granted the title Restitutor Orientis (Restorer of the East) after defeating Palmyra and only earned the upgraded title Restitutor Orbis (Restorer of the World)after defeating the Galling Empire and completing the reunification of the Empire.
Aurelian journey to restore the roman empire would be a great TV series!!!
I cracked up when the word "FIRED!" was superimposed on the Bishop of Antioch!
When the cavalry is outflanked by the infantry... only Aurelius would do such UNO reverse card shenanigans
One of the best if not the best... how much piety and how intelligent was this man... amazing.
Excellent. This video makes me think how fragile is the civilized world as it is under a constant threat from external and internal enemies. Nothing has changed since then.
Zenobia pulled the old "we won when we actually didn't" maneuver
Your videos are always made in an exceptionally impressive quality!
Fantastic!
Thank you very much!
The whole serie was awesome, thank you!
Great series on a truly brilliant military general and leader, however this last episode felt a bit rushed, even though I appreciate the time and effort that goes into making these things, I felt, like Aurelian's reign, the series was cut short prematurely. Other than that, a great series on a lesser known, but very important, Roman.
I get what you're saying, but unfortunately the years 273-275 are the least well attested of Aurelian's reign. The war with Zenobia is by far the best attested campaign, thus why it took centre stage.
Brilliant as always
This series has been spectacular. Thank you
Glad you enjoy it!
At least Tacitus made sure to honor Aurelian by deifying him as deserved by his many merits and by avenging his murder, good man that Tacitus, who sadly also died just short time after becoming emperor.
Indeed. Probus also did a good job of hunting down the remaining assassins.
@@byronwaldron7933 and Carus did likewise with Probus' killers.
