⚔️ The Roman revenge - After the Teutoburg massacre
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 тра 2023
- Arminius' ambush at Teutoburg was a colossal military catastrophe and a devastating blow to Rome's pride and power. But Rome was thirsty for revenge. The task fell first to Tiberius and then to Germanicus, a reputed Roman general who distinguished himself in Germania and fought the legendary battle of Idistaviso.

Germanicus, one of the greatest Roman Generals
If he had not died he would have succeeded Tiberius.
yes. the trouble with the Roman politicians is when a general has amazing victories annihilating Romes enemies the politicians fear he will be the emperor and they kill him and put Rome into slow motion suicide. guys like Germanicus come along once in 100 years you cant kill them @@frankgesuele6298

Rome divides and unites. Some people hated the romans Some loved them..that's just the way it is ..they had great resilience..lost a legion in Scotland then built a wall lost to the parthians and hannibal and sparticus .boudicca etc .but still kept going ...even after the goths sacked rome..still they recovered ..says a lot for them as a people...
no it doesnt. everyones a survivor ...others faced much worse conditions and odds and now run the planet..where is rome now lol bankrupt
The Romans didn't lose a legion ( the 9th, also known as Legio IX Hispana) in Scotland around 1068 AD. That is nothing more than a work of popular fiction. Evidence shows that they were (or elements of them) in the Netherlands around AD120, with the generally agreed view they were wiped out fighting the Parthians in Armenia around AD160 - AD166...
@@Xl8tor241 pretty sure they were wiped out during the Second Great Jewish Revolt.
The Romans were inspirational and that's why they made such intimidating opponents. The Last Roman Legion- Legio V Macedonica which was founded by Augustus himself in 43 BC- was fighting the Muslims in Egypt in around 630s AD. Imagine fighting a military unit that was around before Christ was even born, when Cleopatra still ruled Egypt. Now that's intimidating. It was said that they held the Roman right flank (flank of honor) and stood strong against the Muslim onslaught, almost routing them before the Romans' own left flank was routed and they were surrounded. But they still held firm and did rear guard action to save many units. The remnants of this army and the Legion would form the backbone of Roman resistance in Egypt but it was not enough.
....."before Christ was even born" .... lol.... that was actually funny !@@zippyparakeet1074
There is poetic justice to the fact that it would be the Germanics, ultimately, who Christianized Europe - using the Roman language!🙏🏼

The Germans wouldn’t have had a prayer if they tried actually fight the Legions in the open. They knew they’d be stomped into oblivion.
Despite Romes revenge, it was never able to lay claim to Germania again and make it part of the Empire

Well that's one legendary battle I never heard of, thanks.
of course you didnt. for some reason historians are against Rome. that battle was only the beginning. here on you tube look up avenging varus it is a series where germanicus annihilates the germans one after the other and captures arminius's wife and son. he forces arminius to run from the field disguising himself like a girl
By coincidence, I have been watching the grand BBC/PBS miniseries "I Claudius." It was a sensation in its day (mid-70's) and still a gas. I am especially appreciating the performance of Brian Blessed as Augustus, and his repeated roars; "Publius Quinctilius Varus, WHERE ARE MY EAGLES!" is ringing in my ears.
They cast Brian Blessed as Augustus? Geez. All he ever did was roar. He was as much of a cringe gimmick actor as Jack Nicholson and Al Pacino.
that's why lol How is knowing all that stuff not going to be divisive going forward? it just leads the germans into wanting revenge for germanicus's atrocities and so on and so on. Like Ghandi said an eye for an eye eventually leads to the whole world being blind...or maybe thats okay for you?@@mrmeener625

This is a very abbreviated version of Rome's revenge. There were other battles, and even nearly another Roman annihilation, prevented only by the slickness of the Roman commander.

Finally someone mentions it. Romans didn't lose in Germania due to Germans, but due to their inner politics fight.
Varos lost because he led his armies into thick forces on narrow paths and they were extremely stretched out and massing gis troops in the typical Roman formations was impossible. The Germans picked them apart at will. Part of the problem the Romans had was most of them carried the gladius, a very short sword more like a dagger which was ideal in use in formation between shields but not against the long swords of the Germans.
The Romans had a long sword, called a spatha, but only a small percentage of them carried one. After the slaughter of Vairos's legions they all carried spathas when they invaded to get revenge.
Nope !
Great video, keep it up!!!
The massacre cost the germans more in the long run than it cost the Romans. 20,000 troops compared to several Germanic tribal groups exterminated and several more severely damaged, I think the germans learned a lesson from this. The romans could have gone back over and over to keep doing this but stopped when they thought they had done enough.
Huh? germans literally conquered whole western roman empire and sacked Rome multiple times
The Romans never again did anything in Germania after this pointless campaign, infact the Germans consistently poked and prodded the border killing thousands of Romans 😂

Thanks again for brilliant Knowledge buddy
Problem is that the Romans, while being able to attack more or less as they wanted, were unable to maintain a permanent presence, and the battle of Idistaviso, while victorious, wasn't decisive.
Rome won like they usually did for much of their history: By industrial power. They had more (well-equipped) plebeians to throw away than most of their rivals had troops, and could lose entire armies just to learn and gain experience, and just tried again and again until they got it right. Most noticeably the western Roman empire fell once it no longer had a surplus of men to serve in the legions, and surplus production to outfit them with.
Reminds me Vietnam and Afeghanistan.
"And when Alexander saw the extent of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer."
"And when Rome saw the extent of it's domain it wept, for there were no more rich neighbours to rape, plunder, and enslave."
The Roman Empire were not good guys and it's eventual fate was well deserved.
Most of the times is like that unless they are not Americans in Vietnam..
I think you should study history and NOT INVENT FAIRY TALES!!!!
Germany at that time was an area of woods and swamps... it had no underground resources such as silver or gold, no animals to raise, or good lands to cultivate, but ONLY uncivilized barbarian populations who couldn't even be made to pay a tax as they were poor and wild...
In fact, after Idistaviso the Romans returned to the old border on the Rhine because there was NOTHING beyond it!!!!
In many of the great battles won by the Romans they were outnumbered by their enemies but they won thanks to the Discipline, Training and Tactical Skills of their Generals....
It's all written in history books... but you can also search on the internet... you can find something TRUE and HISTORICAL!!!
Good research.
@@jytte-hildenRome did more for the world, directly or indirectly, than every other civilization. Show some respect.

What year(s) did this take place?
Another season in the field and Germanicus would have finished the job. Tiberius, perhaps jealous of his likely successor, sent him east.
Germanicus!
ROMA Invictus!
The revenge was not proportionate to the defeat…..no amount of triggered campaigns on the Rhine was gonna rectify 3 legions getting wiped out.
I ain’t no Roman fan, but more than 3 legions of Germans died in those forest for sure, if not they wouldn’t never attacked
Twice as many Germans wiped out compared to the legions.
The loss of numerous German nobles from various tribes.
Scorched earth policy destroying numerous villages.
Arminius suffers numerous defeats and the loss of his wife and son. Eventually losing his own life to betrayal, the irony.
Seems to me they got their revenge just fine.
@@aaronrace7591
Twice as many wiped out over multiple years. 40,000 Germans killed over a few years is not as devastating as 20,000 Romans killed in 3 days.
Dude the Romans killed almost 500k people afther that, so in my opinion "Vendetta" was fullfilled, of course the brutality of the Romans was way too much , no Nation or tribe should suffer like that , now it's time to fight together and not against each other
Arminius was a bitch #spqr

But the Romans despite their cruelty eventually had to give up and get out.

The Romans were the best soldiers of their time. The Italians, however, were the worst soldiers of WW2.

Americans with all their money and weapons were still pretty much considered cowards by many veterans of Ww2 and not only. Known to just hold their positions and to move when in superior number, heavy weaponed or with aviation bombing support. You didn't win anything tactical or because of heroism. That without considering that you had oil and resources compared to Italians who lacked everything.

The powers of the Imperium were only to be granted to a General by vote of the Senate or by a vote of their troops. These powers gave the General the legal authority to IMPALE their enemies on a wide variety of crosses designed only to prolong death and make it as painful as possible. The Teutoburg massacre so terrified the Senate that they gave Augustus the power of the Imperium ... permanently. And thus, the Roman Empire was born out of the old Roman Republic. Remember this whenever you are tempted to use the word "Empire" to describe a large and lasting organization - the word stands for the authority to impale the enemies of the State. It is a very gruesome word that should never actually be used except in a historical context.
I can't get enough of history.i find it fascinating
Excellent insight. Of course, language is flexible. “Triumph” is now used as a synonym for victory, but in truth it was a ceremony that solemnized a victory already won under very specific circumstances. I would also note that empires-or rather, Empire-inevitably does precisely what you say, if at least metaphorically.
@@David-ic4by Etymology puts all definitions on the table but orders them syllogistically in an attempt to arrive at the core truth. Recognize the flexible evolution but also, peel back the veneer to get at the essential thing. A Republic is not a Monarchy, a Democracy, an Anarchy, or an Empire, and they all definitely operate under different rules despite sometimes appearing similar in the typical administration of force majeure to collect the taxes.
@@SuperZekethefreak Sure. But I'm speaking in the broadest, metaphorical sense. A ma and pa business may treat its employees well. But when it grows and becomes a multi-national corporation it inevitably "impales" people. In that sense, it's "empire."
That's very interesting -- and horrifying. It illustrates that violent, gruesome root of all empires in history.

The Romans had Political Generals and that resulted in a number of disasters - but - each time that happened - the Romans made a point of coming back and getting revenge.
.
You have to be careful about the Roman losses! Emperor's would say anything they could to tarnish a previous emperor's reputation and nothing quite as bad back then as huge losses on the battlefield. So take it with a pinch of salt.
Germanicus himself would fall victim to an increasingly unstable paranoid Tiberius. A culture of instability that lasted years and even had Claudius cowering behind drapes when the Praetorian guard arrived announcing his rise to emperor.
Thanks for your contribution! That's an interesting fact

I love those tribal peoples fighting to preserve their way of the life,their elderly,women and children...Their freedom !!! Im proud bearer of the Gothic personal name that stayed with Poles , Czechs,Slovacs and Serbs and lives to this very day passed down through generations ...probably 2000 years old ...Thinking about it how hundreds of Goths went from Gotwald down to Poland than Ukraine and down to Balkans and Pannonia and Italy and how they were the force that God used to sort out the wicked Roman Empire makes me feel very privileged...Goths did appear on historical stage some centuries later ( under that name ) but Im pretty sure that migrations from Scandinavia went flowless towards Gaul and other areas to the south ,east and west ..
Just like any other nation, the germanic people were not a poor disenfranchised people who were oppressed by the romans. Everyone called everyone else barbarians in those days. The "tribal people " as you call them aren't anything special. Stop smoking the amess culture weed.

What happened to Armenius?
After the defeat against Germanicus, Arminius continued to fight against the Romans. He engaged in several battles, including the battles of Pontes Longi, Idistaviso, and the Angrivarian Wall. Despite suffering defeats, Arminius was successful in defending Germania against the Romans.
In addition to his conflicts with the Romans, Arminius also had to deal with internal power struggles. He deposed a rival, Maroboduus, the king of the Marcomanni. However, as Arminius’s power grew, it made some Germanic nobles uneasy. Afraid of his increasing influence, these nobles assassinated Arminius in 21 AD

Unfortunately tiberius had germanicus killed
Rome never really got a grip on the German woods. We mainly get information from the Roman side. A lot of propaganda and spin made the Romans look better than they really were against other warrior cultures like the Germanic Tribes.
I mean, other than Teutoburg, the German tribes got their asses kicked by the Romans in every engagement. It just wasn't practical for Rome to hold Germania, sort of like everything north of Hadrian's wall.
@@Lawlzinator It's not at all established that the German tribes got their butt kicked in every battle and scuffle : that's just the point : that's what the Romans claim , but there's no hard evidence for it. It's precisely why some doubt the veracity of these claims by the sole writers of history in that part of Europe : the Romans.

@@rickmorgan1441 Look at Germany who lost two wars on two instead and in the same century as well. One because the Italians mauled them in Vittorio Veneto .
In the Lunderdoof's diaries :
" In Vittorio Veneto, Austria did not lose a battle, but lose the war and itself, dragging Germany in its fall. Without the destructive battle of Vittorio Veneto, we would have been able, in a military union with the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, to continue the desperate resistance through the whole winter, in order to obtain a less harsh peace, because the Allies were very fatigued."
And btw Romans were kicked where by Germans ? Also Italy may not be in good shape today but it's still a G8 country. Hardly as you are trying it to pass. LOL
The Romans excelled at warfare on open ground while the Germanic tribes preferred to fight the Romans in forests and marshes where the Romans couldn’t maneuver. The Romans killed thousands and burned everything they saw but there was no actual civilization to conquer and nothing of value to take other than slaves. With huge forests to conceal them, the Germanic tribes could resist indefinitely. Fighting the Germanic tribes until doomsday, just to kill them and take slaves, was too much effort (and risk) for too little return.
Germans did not have nukes,it is not the case today😂
Germani was never completely conquered by the Romans. The Romans would only intrude to the Rhine. Beyond that point was too dangerous. Later it was the so called barbarians who would protect the Roman empire
Even to this day, Germany is divided by the history. The areas that were occupied by the invaders still produce, and drink, wine, as the Romans did. The free areas still produce, and drink, beer.
It was not dangerous, it was useless beyond the Rhyne. Swamps and forests only.

But Armimius had won strategically. Germania would remain outside the Roman Empire. Regardless of anything they had or would do, Armimius had won.
Germania would remain outside because it was just forests and swaps, useless for Romans. Arminius won nothing.
@@alessandrom7181 what a childish comment. The Romans wanted to rape, loot and plunder. Calling it "forests and swamps" is, again, childish. He preserved freedom for his people - the best thing of all.
Ironic - The revenge of the Romans against the Germanic tribe was led by a general named Germanicus. Arminius and his people were barbarians because they defended their land from the Roman imperialists? If they were barbarians, then they were fighting a civilised enemy that behaved like barbarians at times. Easter cones to mind
