      The later Julian was the one who almost saved the Empire. But the anti-materialist "withdraw from the world" monotheists weren't going to allow the Empire to defend itself. They've always been suicidal, just like their absurd godling that got himself mailed to a tree.

    Finally after many sleepless nights Strasbourg is here, this is one of my most complicated and demanding videos to date and I really hope my good friend’s audience will like it.
    I also want to thank my friend mago for his continuous support and promotion of my work and of course for his contribution to it.
    SideNotes
    1)My apologies for the misspelling of Constantius at the beginning of the video, typos seem to be unavoidable sometimes.
    2) Reims-Durocurturum, is the same place, Lugdunum is modern day Lyon and Argentoratum is Strasbourg.
    3)the behavior of the Germanic cavalry is indeed a mystery and semi reconstructed since its not entirely clear what happened to it after its victory against the Roman cavalry.
    4)Neither Severu’s actions are very well described from our sources, but it is clear that somehow he managed to prevail against the entrenched Alemanni, whether the Alemanni were attacked by severus or were broken after they have advanced against his crack troops is unclear, my version here is a suggestion.
    5) Julian punished those cataphractarii who broke and fled during the battle by forcing them to dress with female clothes for several days.

    • @criostaneos1390
      @criostaneos1390 5 років тому +39

      Towards the late empire the legions shifted to more cavalry, then infantry, because their enemies had more cavalry + it was easier and cheaper and faster to engage the barbarian war bands who raided the roman lands. Cathracts were common in the late roman empire, they were adopted long before this battle took place and werent uncommon in the western part of the empire.

    I find it amazing how someone nearly 2000 years ago recorded these events, the records of which were then passed down and preserved until the invention of the internet. The details of these amazing battles are now recorded for all to see and understand forever - the generals and combatants would never in a million years think they'd be immortalised in such a way! If you think how easy it is for a book you own to be destroyed and damaged in a matter of years, imagine how impressive it is to keep a scroll preserved for 2000 years amongst war, rebellion, raiding etc - it will always blow my mind! Also imagine how many amazing battles and unique generals/people were lost to history, whose stories didn't make it to the age of the internet.

    It's a terrific review of the sordid civil conflict that usually facilitated a destructive barbarian incursion. The Alemanni were incredibly vicious psychopaths who slaughtered tens of thousands in the area the Romans abandoned in the 3rd century, and possibly massacred hundreds of thousands in the early 5th century as they wiped out Roman cities and forts on the west side of the Rhine. That era would be a great recreation!
