This campaign amazes me a lot in various aspects. But most amazes me, troops from different provinces of the empire were transfered to roman part of Germania to march through non-conquered germania and even won a battle in the heart of Germania.
They always transferred troops around the empire. Hadrian's Wall in Britain had troops on it from every part of the empire and they got letters delivered from everywhere.

What's fascinating about this episode of Roman military history is that for all the answers we now have about the battle, there are many, many, more questions left unanswered. Were there other battlefields from this campaign left to be discovered? What other traces of the legions are left to be discovered from this expedition?

I live in Göttingen between Harzhorn and Hannmünden, another important Roman site. 3 pioneer axes in excellent condition were found there 15 years ago. I witnessed them when first presented to the public and wrote an article for the local newspaper about the new findings. Harzhorn is a major turning point for roman historiography even validating roman excursions to the Baltic Sea.
Could you make a video about the Roman’s views on the afterlife and what would’ve been expected. E.g. pearly white gates and streets of gold for Christianity. And how did they view the different beliefs of other people in the empire
You just have to become emperor and get the Senate to make you a god when you die, then you can go to heaven. It's also very advantageous if your successor builds temples in your name where people can come sacrifice to you.
@@TheBigHambi I’m European but of the opinion that if you like something you should just do it. Time and effort are then irrelevant because it’s something you like doing.
The Romans still made fast raids into Germania after Teutoberg, however they never dallied long or tried to establish permanent bases anymore. The reasons were probably retaliation raids for German raids west of the Limes. Go fast, go deep, find the responsible tribe, burn a village or three and return.
Yes, a lot of military campaigns in ancient times were more a show of force than an attempt at conquest. Like saying "Look what we can do. Keep messing with us and we will do this again!"
@@Tommykey07 and also be able to report to the governor and emperor that the raiding barbarians have been punished and there's nothing to see at the Limes.
Its also about "showing the flag". You march a force through their territory giving everyone a chance to see it and for them to see that their local leaders are too scared of it to do anything about it. Its also a threat that they COULD march into these areas anytime they wanted to, burn the villages and kill the locals.
I’ve heard that there was a Germanic tribe, more specifically , the Vandals who colonized North Africa for a century, from 435 to 534 AD and pushed the Roman out. Do you mind covering that subject? Thanks..
Yes, the Vandals held North Africa for some time, but the Roman Empire eventually reconquered the land as well as Italia, Illyria, and part of Hispania under the emperor Justinian.
In the small village of Niederbrechen in Hessen, there is a late Roman fort, until recently, thought to belong to the 30 Years War. How does it fit in - could it be a food-shelter stop between Mainz and another camp - maybe Kessel. Also, I have found no evidence of the Romans along the Lahn River - which would have given them a natural artery inland from the Mosel. I do not get it.
You mixed something up a bit. The fort ist located near the village of Oberbrechen. Niederbrechen is a neighboring village. I do know for sre, bcause i living there. The fort is from time of Augustus. But you do not see more than the earth walls. So it has nothing to do with Maximinus Thrax campagin discussed in this video. We do not know why the romans builted that camp at Oberbrechen. There are 2 roman camps from the time of Caesar found near the Lahn River, close to the citiy of Limburg an der Lahn. We know that because of shoenails found there. The shoenails found there were only used in the time of Caesar. Not before and not after. Caesar crossed the River Rhine, close to the city of Koblenz. Moselle is close by, but all ancient sources says Caesar crossed the Rhine and Maximiuns Thrax crossed the Main River near the city of Mainz. Far away from the Moselle river. I hope that helps for a better understanding.
I'm really sorry that I saw only now your excellent video regarding an unknown battle perhaps showing the furthest advance of the Roman Legionnaires in Germany at least evidenced by this horseshoe and other related artifacts left by the troops during the battle. It is important to point out the great difficulties to feed a big army marching so deep in enemy territory and the limits of pillaging on the way. Something that the French army, under Napoleon, kept doing in Russia, but almost dieing of hunger and in Italy on the march against the Austrians but especially on the road to Naples which much looting and pillaging was ensured on the way. Going back to this unknown battle we actually know very little what really happened as much history has gone in smoke between looting, fire like in Costantinopole after being sacked by the Turkish army. Good job as always.....
What I'm curious about is how do historians know about the path taken by the legions in the lead-up to the Harzhorn battle? As no one seemed to know about this battlefield prior to the discovery of the Roman horseshoe, how would anyone know that Maximinus's army had been returning from almost reaching the Elbe? Obviously this information is coming from somewhere... is there a book on the subject that goes into more detail???
The route is basically conjecture, based on the location of known Roman outposts. There's a German book on the battle by Günther Moosbauer that covers all the details.
@@toldinstone Thank you very much for that information and for also having a great channel! I appreciate it that you took the time to reply to me. I'll see if I can get that book in English, as I know a lot of Roman military scholarship is often in other languages.

The shit part about any ration is that carbs do you zero good. No kidding. They literally just keep you okay until the next ration. As a type one diabetic, I've learned so much about how the human body processes calories from different sources, and carbs are the least impactful and sustainable. Animal protein and animal fats are literally the building blocks of the human body. It's also been found that plant protein/fats are actually not good, so top your salads with meat and you'll be fine.
Maximinus Thrax was not without considerable ambition, making one of the first efforts in centuries to subjugate Germany for Rome. His failing was his inability to interact properly with the Senators for whom he had complete contempt. If he had been more political, he might have had the time to achieve his goal, although his extraordinary height suggests a condition which might have limited his life.
I mean he wasn't wrong. Later when he became Emperor the Senators and holdovers from Alexander's reign *were* plotting against him rather often. They didn't just hate him for being a commoner, they didn't consider him truly Roman, a barbarian. What limited his life was being beheaded by his own soldiers however, not a health condition.
