I'm Italian. The Roman army starts with the Mario reform. Before, every soldier has to provide himself armour and weapons. With the Mario reform, was the state that provide all stuff. During training, all weapons have almost double weigth respect to real weapons. Furthernore, Roman copied and adopted also enemy weapon. The gladio is known as "gladius hispanicus"
The greatest armies in the world was the British, because they controlled over 1/3 of the world and was the largest empire in world history. However, the Roman Army was made of many other nations as auxiliaries. But Romans when alone lost just about every battle.
Dumb. Of course the British would control more land because the British empire came roughly 1,700-1,800 years after the Roman Empire. The Romans did not have access to steamships, telegraphs, gunpowder, rifles, artillery, etc. A better comparison would be to compare the Roman Legions to the Parthians and Ancient Chinese. The Roman Legions by one estimate won 80% of their battles.
@@johndorilag4129 Yes you are dumb. So hello dumb. It is not about when it is about your statement that the Roman Army was the greatest army in the world, ever. That is where you were wrong. I gave you only one example of a greater army. So go back and read your history, because you mentioned two more that may qualify. Alexander the great put together a much greater Army the world has ever known. You are so narrow minded.
Thank you both for your comments and for sparking such an engaging discussion! Comparing armies from vastly different eras is always challenging, as their technologies, strategies, and historical contexts were so distinct. However, it’s fascinating to analyze the strengths of each. The Roman legions, for instance, were the backbone of an empire that lasted for over 500 years, spanning Europe, the Near East, and North Africa. Their success lay not only in their discipline and innovative strategies but also in their ability to integrate auxiliary forces from various cultures into a cohesive military machine. While it’s true that they faced defeats, their overall win rate and resilience are a testament to their strength. On the other hand, the British Empire, benefiting from modern technology like steamships, rifles, and artillery, built a global network that was unparalleled in its time. Similarly, Alexander the Great’s army achieved remarkable conquests with speed and precision, carving out one of the largest empires of the ancient world. Each of these armies was exceptional in its own right, excelling in the context of its era. Rather than debating which was "the greatest," we can appreciate the unique strengths and historical impact of each. This might even be an excellent topic for a future video exploring the greatest armies across different periods!
