      ​@@stephenwest6738like him to but he is pretty biased against caesar and seems the greatest grudge with Octavian and caesrians in general and exaggerating labienus's accomplishments

    I love your channel, just don't stop uploading. Even if you someday think like people get tired of the content because it's based on ancient history, which is not long term interest by many, remember about all the people who apprecciate one of a kind type of content and wait for your uploads every time, and each time, we're provided with more than we could expect, and with better quality than we deserve. You rock man!

    Another instrument was the bucina, played by a buccinator. To this day, the buccinator is the name for our cheek muscles.

      On a side note, In Romanian if ever you wanna say butt cheeks, you say 'buci' 😅 not sure what the Romans did to the Dacians way back when but I hope they stopped playing the cornu after that happened

    That is an age old tactic.
    Judges 7:19-22 KJV
    So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands. [20] And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the LORD, and of Gideon. [21] And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled. [22] And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the LORD set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.

    Korna is still used in Iran and some other west asian countries. In Iran it is traditionally used to announce begining of the new year (nawruz)

    If they had the choice I wonder if the general would yell “Fokk this soft music play some metal!”
    -randomous a Roman general
    Thus, death metal was born.

    Roman robbers wanted Dacian gold. Dacians kicked Romans out with such a force that Romans ran away in panic & burnt their bridge on the Danube to prevent Dacians give them what they deserve.
