    While going through the video again, I noticed I've pronounced "Helvetii" inconsistently. My apologies for any confusion this may have caused.

      Brilliant idea to use this narrative style. This 3-part series also added extra details to my understanding of Caesar's Gallic campaign.
      I hope to hear more Roman history from your channel. 👍

    I love this, Caesar’s writing style isn’t hard to follow, but this makes it so digestible. One thing that leaped off the page at me was the part where he takes their camp and finds the itemized census showing their forces in Greek. Caesar thinks nothing of that detail, but they were keeping their important records in Greek, I find that fascinating for everything it implies.

    My grandfather gave me his school primer which was Latin on one page and English on the facing page, that was my introduction to the Gallic Wars, this summer I was able to listen to this with three of my grandchildren. Thank you so much!

    American here. I have heard of the rivers, but I wish you had highlighted the rivers or at least made a cursor run along them as you named them.

    Gallia est omnia divisa in partes tres - imagine Gaul as a big pie cut into three slices. Yep, sounds exactly like ol' Julius would say it.

      @@TheLegendaryLore The images do look good, but I'm not so sure that the source material it has selected is appropriate. None of the helmets or half-plate and segmented armour is historical. The brigandine isn't too far off but there's no sign yet (15 minutes in) of mail, which would have been by far the most common type of armour worn by many of the Gauls and almost all of the Roman legionaries in this period.

    • @TheLegendaryLore
      @TheLegendaryLore  Рік тому +3

      @@RichWoods23 You're right. The images themselves are not in any way made to be historically accurate. There's not enough non-copyrighted material out there to produce quality long-form videos with interesting visuals without utilizing AI.
      We *are* planning to change that in the future by training the AI ourselves, but there's only 24 hours in the day 😄
