- The Battle of Alesia or Siege of Alesia was a military engagement in the Gallic Wars that took place in September, 52 BC, around the Gallic oppidum (fortified settlement) of Alesia, a major centre of the Mandubii tribe. It was fought by the army of Julius Caesar against a confederation of Gallic tribes united under the leadership of Vercingetorix of the Arverni. It was the last major engagement between Gauls and Romans, and is considered one of Caesar's greatest military achievements and a classic example of siege warfare and investment. The battle of Alesia marked the end of Gallic independence in France and Belgium.

All the gauls were conquered. All of them? Except a small village...
Alexandros Markopoulos hahaha everybody always seems to forget about that. These Romans are crazy.
fuck you
All thanks to good Asterix and Obelix. God, I love those comics.
Hahahah
Lol they had their magic potion
I found that battle crazy. 60,000 Romans against 250,000 Gauls and Rome was victorious. Caesar has a crazy mind.
true after all, to the victorious go the spoils!
It all matters on who has the proper advantages. And having someone like Caesar is the best advantage you've got.
Matthew I agree. Some statistics came from Ceasar, so I'm not taking it too seriously. He may be hiding the truth.
He defeat Egypt with half legion :D
Exactly, the historical sources from this battle is mainly from Caesar himself lol.
Spoiler: Caesar wins
Michael VPS Duh!Lol.All Hail Caesar!

@Thomas Headley He was Romes greatest general of all time
Thomas Headley he was the greatest general of all time, he had given ingenius decisions but that was it... “die a hero, or watch yourself become the villain”
that's not a spoiler. caesar always wins
1:22 Titus Pullo!
Get back in formation ya drunken fool!
Lmao nice refrence
yep Pullo was there
Casar actually mentions both Titus Pullo and Lucious Vorenus in his Commentaries. They were real people! But Pullo had the same rank as Vorenus and were both trying to earn the First Spear Centurion honors by the daring exploits Caesar reported. Sadly, they leave the story and are not heard from again until HBO's Rome series!
@@georgegonzalez-rivas3787 b
is that only me or rome 2 battles are better than warhammer ones? i just love the more realistic feel in that
In Rome is much more work to do with cinematics like this, I think Warhammer is better, (I love Rome 1 best game ever for me)
You need like 10000 mods to even resemble Warhammer. The combat physics and overall AI much better in Warhammer. Also the factions are balanced, Rome 2 factions are a hell hole of either being completely broken in strength to being just a tier above rebel armies.
@Dex4Sure I think Rome 2 is an excellent game despite having some problems (that are still presents in Warhammer) such as the free replenishment for example.
Battles in Warhammer are just terrible to watch. Rome 2 had a terrible launch it's true, but today and even more with some mods on (DEI), Rome 2 is among the best Total War games in my opinion.
Yeah whole army chasing dragon, super battle
i just love that part from where that Roman soldier headbutt that chosen swordmen 4:52
I didn’t know they had cameras back then it looks so cool
It is said that cameras once roamed the earth 65 million years ago
Carlos Balazs BIG BANG WANTS TO KNOW YOUR LOCATION
Lol
You have to respect the people who kept the footage.
I think that it was Photocus.
As a historian pointed out ...there is a great difference between hearing.....take that Hill men and come on let’s take that Hill men.....Caesar was with his men.....imagine being exhausted ready to drop, no longer able to care and then hearing.....Caesar stands the line....and there he is in the formation fighting beside the legionaries
The problem was that the Gauls didn't have gunpowder. They should have invested more time and money in technological development.
Its impossible fot gauls to invent something like gunpowder, but atleast they should have tried to make something like molotov cocktail, atleast that was possible
Sachlang Jamatia Woosh
Indeed.
that's racist
If they invested a bit more, probably some space weapon
It was the iron discipline of the Roman Legions' that has almost always prevailed,
I love stuff like this.

GMOD-FIGHTS 🥋🤺 
VERY very well made video. Keep up the good work!
(1 small suggestion; make less quick cuts, especially in the end when you have the epilogue texts. The “death by strangulation” slide could have faded to black or at least had a bit more transition time before the credits in my opinion. But, as I said, these are small suggestions for small complaints.)
Thanks, I think you're right, there's barely time to read it, now I see it, next time I will be aware of this, Greetings
No Lorica Segmentata at this time, come on
Poor Vercingetorix, giving his own life so that his men may live.
He was a great man :)
Karl T he behaved as a real king should: He put the lives of his people before his own.
I wouldn't be so sure Alex. During the siege Vercingetorix requested if their women and children could be spared, so he sent them out of Alesia, to the romans. When the romans rejected his request, Vercingetorix didn't allow these women and children back into his own camp due to the food scarcity. These women and children therefore became stuck between 2 walls/2 forces/2 leaders. They were stuck there until they eventually starved to death in the so-called No-Mans-Land.
He did eventually let the women and children that hadnt died back into the city. However this was only after a lot of pressure from his soldiers who had their wife and children in the no mans zone
stokiescott oh, I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know. Still, I assume that alot of women and children had died before he let the rest back in.
Inside the Roman wall, there are also ditches with spikes and other anti-personnel "mines" that also killed off a bunch of Gauls that charged inside the Roman defense

Kings & Generals and BazBattles should be talking to you to make their battles. :)
I loved this video.
When Caesar was waiting in line for the release of the IPhone SE outside a store he built a fort
The best, and probably most accurate depiction of an actual Roman battle was the opening scenes from the movie Gladiator, starring Russell Crowe. Basically Romans held their position and a soldier in the second line would thrust a pike. I know this is simplified, but the hand to hand combat that you see in almost every documentary about the Legions just isn't factual, and if it was, then Rome would not have become a world power. They were disciplined. They almost never broke rank, and that's how they could defeat larger armies.
Legionaries at that time didn't use pikes or spears, they would throw their pilums and then engage them with their Gladius
Yeah, and in the movie Gladiator it was shown during the climax that they did break ranks eventually. In terms of Infantry tactics and combat, I'd say HBO's Rome TV series portrays it far better in the opening scene of the first episode.
Caeser's greatest victory could've actually been a crushing defeat, if only the gallics had been smarter.
Caeser was outnumbered even before the reinforcements arrived, he knew attacking Alesia head on was suicide and so he built his fortifications to starve vercingetorix out. But the reinforcements were far more numerous the ceaser's army. Ceasar's entire strategy relied on the relief force attacking him, but had they only used his own strategy against him, they could've just cut off his supply lines. Ceasar would've been completly isolated, surrounded, and without much supplies. He would've had to surrender at the very least.
Roman's legions were far more well supplied then every reinforcement the Gauls could field. The difference between soldier and warrior is clear. The discipline, the strategic capability, the engineering were all on Cesar side. Ballistas and Catapults and Scorpios were not in use of Gallics infantry. Even fortification would have ment a problem for them.
Federico Braglia but then again, caeser was still vastly outnumbered. Sure he had all kinds of artillery and superior discipline, but he was hiding behind large trenches, walls and pikes. He would've lost this advantage had the gallics decided to starve him out. Also, i'm not so sure they were well provisioned, as caeser was sending several foraging parties while building the circumvallation.
One might also argue that vercingetorix made the fatal mistake by actually sending his cavalry out to call for aid in the first place. Ceaser wrote that that while he was building the circumvallation, vercingetorix kept sending his cavalry out to attack him from all sides. Had vercongetorix kept this strategy, caeser was thinking about abandoning the siege. Sending the cavalry away is what allowed caeser to finish the circumvallation.
So again, caeser was competent, but he was in a very risky situation that relied on his enemies being incompetent. Luckily for him, they were.
what this video does not show is how after vercingetorix surrendered ceaser killed every man, woman and child in the village. also the village Alesia lies where paris is nowadays
tieme369 Alesia wasn't Paris, Lutecia was. As for slaughtering the population, i'd be interested to see your sources.
Thierry Dubuc, I think you have a good reading of the situation. But while i think Vercingetorix was forced to retreat inside the fortress, i read from the italian Wikipedia that the gallican's cavalry was defetead on ground from the roman's one. Personally i prefer the italian Wikipedia for the history accuracy. I'm bound to think that gallic warriors were not capable of sieging well fortified system like roman did. The patience and costance are tipical of soldiers, the tactical analysis of capable commanders. The leaders of Gauls were strong warriors, not commanders
Finally get to see what the squares and rectangles look like.

You never walk alone the 13th is eternal.
I never knew mints were in the Roman army.
Adiutrix Pia Fidelis why they choose the 13 in the drama I don’t know, as Caesar’s favourite was the Legio X Equestris or 10th which he personal levied in Spain in 61bc.
the graphics and design are incredible, every soldier actually looks different and the up close fighting shots look so realistic! great job bringing this battle to life.
he used a game called total war rome 2 to film this
Amazing...I dont have any words to explain how I feel now...
The music, battles, the text messages... all . Congratulations, you have a new fan
He adds a new teritory to the Republic and the Senate, instead of saying "Thank you", manages to turn him into an enemy of the state and start a war in which many soldiers lose their lives for nothing.
Also, would have been interesting to see Caesar and Burebista fight since he was preparing to invade and conquer Dacia but some of the roman senators and dacian nobles decided to kill them.
Sic semper tyrannis. Don't get me wrong, I like Caesar; he was a brilliant leader and tactician but he was a power hungry tyrant no less than the corrupt senate.
Hidenori Shimazu I respect your opinion.
A Burebista conflict would have been interesting. Burebista's state was larger than Decebal's, and the Romans were yet ~150 years weaker than they were during the actual Dacian Wars, so it may have been even more challenging. Not to forget that Burebista is who the Romans can thank for basically reducing the Boii, Scordiscii, Bastarnae, and Tauriscii to near irrelevance in a short time span.
That's politics my friend
Korn Jolio True but those loses in man power could have been avoided.
60.000 Roman soldiers defeated 328.000 Gauls, it's incredible. As a Greek historian said, a Roman soldier is worth 10 warrior roosters. Giulio Cesare is the greatest military genius of all time....
Well, I'd argue that title belongs to either Hannibal or Alexander the Great. Also, those facts comes from Julius Caesar's own notes, though it is known that the numbers of Gaulic forces was superior to the Romans. And yeah, roman Soldiers Went through the hardest training you could imagine, and for just not obeying your commander you could be tortured and hanged etc.
segmented armor wasn't in use that early
Haunted Hornet I was waiting for someone to point it out
yeah considering all the roman army is using lorica hamata armor and what looks to be coolus and montefortino helmets against a group of romans using empire era armor and helmets
This looks sick man!
Just imagine laying siege to a Gallic hill fort with walls, with 65,000 Romans, building a wall around those walls, but then 290,000 Gauls pull up, so now you building another wall around your camp to keep those Gallic reinforcements out. Defend those outside walls that you built from a relief force, while at the very same time, the garrison sallies out. You repel the attacks and attack the Gallic walls.
How tf did Caesar not get a headache?!
Very well made
That cavalry at the end didn't look very German :/
@@SkiLLCapp3d While it's true most of Caesar's cavalry were Gallic, famously his elite Germanic cavalry caused a big rout towards the end of the Siege of Alesia. But that looks like Roman Cavalry to me, not even Gallic (at 5:09). The auxiliaries I imagine would have had differently decorated shields than the Romans, representing their homeland.
Rooting for the invading Roman army is like rooting for the invading Union army.
It's sad when defenders of their homeland lose.
@IJN Yamato
It is sad in the objective order of reality.
That's why I love order and discipline...

The Gauls should of build more walls around Cesar to trap Cesar, sacrificing those inside would be the price of victory.
But imagine Crassus then arriving and building a wall to make sure his soldiers don't retreat. So the Gauls build another wall to keep Crassus out.

Is the power-donut-haircut a requirement to be an onager man? (01:50)
This is family business, they are all brothers ( from different fathers )
wow Vercingetorix, such an honorable act in the end for such what roman call "barbaric tribesmen"
He was really great General, doubt that Julius Caesar will do the same
sandokan1610 he even defeated Caesar in open battle at Gergovia. Throughout the Gallic War no one was able to do it.
NEVER_AGAIN well if you want think of it this way who would you do let everyone starve or let the most useless people starve I know it’s extremely cruel but back then you had to think like that what do you do if your under siege people would be desperate and sadly choices like these had to be made.
This was a very fascinating position of battle. Building a fully defensible blockade around a Gaul settlement and another one to fend off the relief force.
The roman soldiers didn"t wear segmentata armour at that time. The most comom was the lorica amata or male coat armour.
Stinking Gauls!!!!! I know I was a Roman in my past life a lot of genetic memories lol.
Bruh you guys traitors in both world wars
Kinda Roman propaganda in fight scenes..The Celts were superior warriors overall...they just couldn't handle the booby traps, armor, artillery, and archers of the Romans...Kinda like Cortez vs the Aztecs...Still! Great video to watch.
How could it be propaganda for a society that has been dead for centuries. Plus there’s evidence to suggest both soldiers were equally matched with their own pitfalls. There’s no point searching for the answer purely from a technology stance because you won’t find one conflict in all of human recorded history where one side didn’t carry a slight or major edge in innovation. To say Rome had that advantage would be an understatement buts it’s not like they were carrying alien technology granted to them by Jupiter, it’s just a complete overhaul in tactics and modernisation that comes from implementing strategy into every factor of warfare and a professional organised army which the Gauls only came close to having if they joined a confederacy in revolt. You also can’t call the Romans beating the Gauls with their ‘inferior’ infantry, propaganda when it still somewhat represents the historical outcome. Furthermore if the Gauls didn’t want casualty numbers inflated they should first won...
The battle and the war and invested in their own scribes, at which point they would’ve done the exact same but for themselves. Finally I will just say that certain Gallic tribes had renown warriors and all probably held a barbarian edge of ferocity in fighting for their homeland. This is what they were known for and why it took nearly a decade to subdue them with multiple legions and exceptional leadership. However despite having such pent up berserk anger in initial clashes the only real examples of Gauls breaking roman units comes from them being surrounded by vastly superior numbers or being ambushed on multiple fronts negating the roman ability to reserve 2/3 of their fighting capacity in any pitched battles. Furthermore, Roman troops were better disciplined and were trained with stamina to fight slowly as heavy infantry and never excessively strike or take ground, this kept them in formation and meant they could fight and rotate for over 24 hours in a bad situation compared to the
Gauls who had plenty of warlike experience and a more sparse background, not to mention home advantage and could charge like hell when backed up with good solid cavalry, yet this absolute battle mentality also worked against them, as even their strongest warriors could only keep swinging for so long and most sources claimed this was on average very intense but brief two hour periods. You simply can’t break roman heavy infantry in a matter of two hours unless you surround and pound them and try to wedge and split their formations with strength of numbers as was a factor at Alessia in particular. In a 1 on 1 encounter between two enemy units, the Romans always held the advantage technologically and mentally.
EPIC GAMER WIN
using games as a very good way of education
ps: the epic gamer win is just satire
Thank you :)
2:45 Lorica sequementata armour wasnt used in ceasars time( but that’s CAs fault because they added this unit )
@ 3:00 Yup, armour and shield type from later Imperial Rome.
*segmenta
Certainly not on a wide scale, but how can we truly know if it was not used by certain units?

So.. you got a name. Incredible!
Mark Anthony murdered his wife Fulvia
Boy, Ceasar must have taken his previous defeat at the hands of the Gauls just a few months before this battle really hard. In that video by Sandokan he had a full head of brown hair. Months later in this video he has significantly thinner hair that is totally grey.
This is one hella of a bad ass documentary video from Total War Rome II
One of the best works on youtube. Man how to connect with You? I have some proposal in this sphere and want to ask You some questions.
thanks, you can write me message in UA-cam or just write here
@@SandokanBattles .
This is what I never understood about this battle once Galic reinforcements arrived & Julius had to build another wall... So the Romans are in between two walls... Why not just wait them out until they starve to death & surrender? They cant leave to go hunt or they will be killed... I cant imagine they would be able to last that long inside both walls... I know those inside the fort were also starving yet the Galic tribes would've defeated Julius there basically if they just didn't attack... Let them starve to death inside those two walls.
Why did you show the Romans fighting hand to hand in Melee? The heavy infantry fought in a shield wall that was virtually impregnable. Using the point of the sword.
Why are the Romans fighting like Germans? All over the place and out of line? This is Rubbish!

Agree with many others. The story of this battle comes from Caesar who was good in politics as well as in warfare. So what story will serve him best ? 😨🙊🙈🙉
That romans didn't wear lorica segmentana armor
The soldiers here are using lorica segmentata almost half a century before it was invented.
Yo dawg I herd you like sieges so we built a fort around your fort so you can siege while we siege
More 1v1 ore 20v 20 ore 10v10 Dont do so many bro
I think I speak for everyone if I tell you that this is incredibly well done.
the Celts always seem to lose everywhere. The Romans in Gaul and then Britian and later against the Saxons. The Welsh held out the longest .
3:03 lol wrong armor. still nice vid though.
I know but it's not my fault, CA put them in historical battle
Maybe 1 guys dad gave him coin to buy the latest armour decades ahead of its time? Or he knew a world class blacksmith? or well, well thats all i got.
decades? More like a century
Pozhinat not really the lorica was used not long after this.
Lorica Segmentata wasnt in widescale use until Tiberius, when they started replacing lorica hamata. Sure you can find a few Cohorts in it before then, but most of early Empire legionaries wore lorica hamata until 14AD. So technically speaking, 62 years is closer to a century than it is to a decade.:\
rome totalwar 2 very good game but better with mod DEI its free and its a new level
For sieldier 1 years decimation of same or 75% property at time of war.
Wait, wat the fuck is up with the fire sticks. No way that fucking works in rl
Glad your title uses "BC" instead of title political correctness folly.
When I first heard of this battle I thought it was fake, but I was in awe when I found out it was real.
There is a movie about this battle.
More than a battle it was a massacre pure roman terrorism
@@SkiLLCapp3d lol no
What is that whirling that they throwing at 2:23?
torches ;)
This is the stuff that Legends are made from
I say it a lot of times and i am going to say it again
Rome 2 Needs more freaking love god dammit!
this game is so freaking underrated just because a bad launch, and is really good!, even with some broken things, is really nice!
Actually caesar was stabbed 20x or more by the senates leaded by brutus
Hail Julius Caesar! Ruler of Rome! Rex Et Roma! Rex Et World!
Go join the Legion they said,...it be a good move they said.
Bloody Gauls and their potions ;).
Hands down the best cinematography on this game I've seen so far
There`s no proof that Vercingetorix was ceremoniuosly strangled;he was probable executed in a Roman Dungeon UNceremoniously.
Why are the Romans wearing lorica segmentata in 52 BC?
Makes me think of "the dying Gaul,louvre.)
Super making, congratulations
Thank you so much 🙂
Am I the only one who doesn't see even a single roman dying in the combat...
Baldness was a thing among roman siege engineers; i guess they like the aerodynamics so much...
The only accounts of this battle to survive were through Caesar himself so the numbers of men are really hard to believe
So barbarians were basically naked people. Total war...
Nices Video
Or information or service of 3 years without pay.
I could never win the Cesar in Gaul campaign, even in easiest difficulty...
02:28 which soundtrack is?
Ahh, good old Battles BC from the history channel, but modernized. Just one thing is I think that the final battle took place in a river crossing in the only gap in the wall.
Some narration of the battle would have been nice.
*tear* almost like a certain other show I used to watch, Decisive Battles.
The Mad Matt show good show
I was there two thousand years ago and go I was part of the 14th I was a Roman officer I died and Gaul ambushed my men were slaughtered
Nice try. But it leaves out certain critical parts of the battle. 1. The Gauls within Alesia were starving and there was an attempt to send their women and children to the Romans to feed. But the Romans refused and left them in the gaps between the walls of Alesia proper and there own defences. The gauls had to watch their loved ones starve in the open and any sallies would have to go through their own people. 2. The Roman defenses in this video seel limited to wooden palisades and a few missile weapons. In fact, the Romans had built several moats and trenches with millions of anti-personnel traps, stakes, pits, etc. Caesar often wrote of how damaging these were to the Gallic attackers. They were more important than the palisades. 3. The all-important Germanic cavalry that Caesar had were critical to success. Time and again these ferocious horsemen though limited in number turned the tide wherever the Gauls were gaining an advantage.
Very nice!!!
I found Kings and Generals channel way better. This one is all spark no substance.
This was horrible batle
This is so well done....I love it!
In dem Comic "Asterix und Das Avernerschild"wird es Thematisiert.Ich habe mal jemanden aus Marseille gefragt.Viele Franzosen bestreiten tatsächlich bis heute,das es eine Niederlage oder überhaupt Alesia gegeben hat. Einfach aus National Stolz heraus und um die Schmach vergessen zu machen.
n'importe quoi arrêté de mentir.. tous les français savent que Alésia était une défaite.. mais nous avons conquis par la suite 3 fois l'Italie... une honte venger
