The Romans were incredibly good at being soundly defeated and somehow pulling two or three more legions out of their ass. This happened over and over in Roman history and you don't come across it nearly as much in any other empire's history.
Might have something to do with the fact their writers felt comfortable with describing these defeats and the subsequent adaptations. It can't be underestimated how important it is to have an body like the Senate, the intellectual class, the nobility, and the plebs who are separate units with no natural loyalty to the emperor. This meant that there were often checks and balances, including writers who did not need to glorify events to satiate a god king, as so happens in other cultures. If your leader can't do wrong then you can't win.

I read Colleen McCullough's The Grass Crown and her follow up books about Marius and Sulla. I was hooked. I really enjoyed your video on these men and their lives. While The Grass Crown was a work of fiction, she did use the historical records to piece together what could have happened. Regardless Gaius Marius was a one-of-a-kind figure in the Roman Empire. Great video.
Been listening to master of Rome series by CM while cutting grass or hay. Closing in on seventy and it's the best series of books I've read. Audio books are very entertaining, as are history channels.
Not accurate actually. Carthaginians were for sure NOT descendants of "Alexander The Great." Carthaginians were Phoenicians, and that assertion made is actually backwards. More like the Greeks and Macedonians being the descendants of The Carthaginians, aka Phoenicians.
Aaah that was very satisfying, thank you. The text is really well done, it isn't padded or pompous, and it swings along smartly. At the end of the video, having listened closely and reversing a fair bit, a feeling of mild exhilaration like after a good run whatever, pervades. Thank you.

In one of your newer videos (enemies of Rome tier list) you talk about how the Parthian’s kind of mongol the Romans and they didn’t know how to deal with it and the Parthian’s mainly lost because they destroyed themselves until the Roman’s were able to beat them eventually, is there a reason the Roman’s never got better at archery and horsemanship to be able to compete with them?

Mention was made of a multi-cultural Army. This is true, but with one major caveat. They all spoke Latin and were fully integrated eventually becoming citizens who spoke, thought and acted like Romans. That's the main difference between them and now.
I think the generally accepted view among scholars is that there were no "marian reforms". Everything marian did had either been done before, or wasn't continued with any regularity. The Roman Army did, over the course of many decades, adopt the things attributed to the "marian reforms" but Marian played no major role in this evolution.
@danielating1316 It had been done before Marius, and it didn't immediately become the norm after Marius. Armies were still more often than not recruited in the old way. It'd not until the era of the First Triumverate when this changes.
@@Sphere723 so how do you explain the willingness of Sulla's troops to march on Rome? That seems like what soldiers from the landless poor will do.

So given that the fall of the roman republic/rise of the roman empire is the story of populist military leaders challenging by defeating pro senate aristocrats, I have to ask when did the roman emperors stop being populists? I think a video on the death/decline of roman populism would be really interesting.

@@nedames3328 Augustus was perceived as a populist by the people, though. That's why he is considered a master propagandist, even moreso than his stepfather, Julius Caesar. ⚔️
It wasn't so much the army, but the state. Rome would not relent and instilled a sense of moral superiority in it's men. Gaius Marius wasn't responsible for the reform of the Roman army. That had been in the works since before his time.
I believe this is too simplistic and actually unprovable either way. The many reforms coming together under Marius does not mean that Marius was completely responsible nor does it mean he did not influence it. Philip gave Alexander an army. Alexander made it a greater army. The French during the Seven Years War, where they performed badly, were designing the pieces to make Napoleon's army. Which he made tremendous in size with corps. Almost all advances are made on the shoulders of predecessors.

I think you have a Hollywood background in history and in particular Roman history. Roman soldiers were as much murderers as Greeks or Gauls or ferocious Germanic tribes or even Britons. Only unlike these, they were more determined and more organized and this was thanks to Gaius Marius and his reform. The result of all this was an empire that lasted a multitude of centuries and formed the foundation of what they now call Western civilization, to which you belong too.

_"How often do you think about the Roman-..."_

The Romans were incredibly good at being soundly defeated and somehow pulling two or three more legions out of their ass. This happened over and over in Roman history and you don't come across it nearly as much in any other empire's history.
Might have something to do with the fact their writers felt comfortable with describing these defeats and the subsequent adaptations. It can't be underestimated how important it is to have an body like the Senate, the intellectual class, the nobility, and the plebs who are separate units with no natural loyalty to the emperor.
