I absolutely love this. You're not just watching and talking over footage, you're actually there wearing the armour and experiencing the life. This is the kinda thing more of these historical life documentaries should be, actually experiencing what they're talking about as close as we're able to approximate.
Why white western people playing Roman? Rome called whites unclean barbarians and uncivilized and looked down on you on racial sense as well, they were Tanned Olive skinned. It's like black people playing Nazis.......
22:43 “probably the least favorite job for Roman soldiers in a fort would’ve been sentry duty” haha some things never change as it is the least favorite duty for soldiers in a modern day military
Funny enough, during my conscription service the sentry duty for the division's fuel storage facility was the most sought after, cuz it was located a few kilometres away from our base, and it was basically a day off from a drill, even with only a 4 hours of sleep, divided in 2 parts. It was awesome even with high command checking 1 or 2 times for the whole duty (especially after a group of soldiers from my platoon almost got caught with booze)
I found this video through one of the shorts discussing food. Honestly, I was expecting an entire documentary about food but this was actually really good! Looking through your channel a bit later, I found out that this is a newer channel. Safe to say you folks have earned a new subscriber.
This is some really top notch work! Levelling the likes of history documentaries from the 90's and early 2000's, the type that seem to have gradually vanished in the last 20 years.
Bit late to the party, but loving these videos. It's obvious that both the host sits on a lot of general knowledge of things commonly misrepresented, but also that the people they approach - reenactment groups who've been nerding these topics for, probably several years - are treated with so much respect and deference in their specialised knowledge. Pros and cons are adressed in a nuanced way, while there is at the same time no hesitation to poke fun at actual historical idiosyncracies. None of the over-dramatisation that we so often see. Loving the guy acting the Centurion of the reenactment team as well. Both knowledgeable and very fun. Lots of respect for the entire Roman Military Research Society. Cheers.
What a great start these two episodes have been for a series that I'm sure has a lot more to come! These production values are way beyond the stuff we see on UA-cam. Excellent work and really looking forward to seeing more. In a few years after you've made a huge breakthrough, I'll be here with you being proud of seeing the channel's journey from the start.
Thank you very much for creating this first class production and for elevating the great work that the people at 'Park in the Past' are doing. Bringing history to life.
This channel deserves so much more recognition! The combo of your knowledge mixed with some of the reenactor's knowledge, and you actually wearing the gear and living the life is awesome! Please keep this content going!
The spot where Caesar was assassinated is an open air dig site, museum, and cat sanctuary in Rome. Been there, saw city workers putting out food for the cats :)
I live quite close to a Roman Fort in Scotland. I often wonder about the lives of the men therein. There is also evidence of a Vicus, I read, and so there grew a community in a short time because it wasn't here long according to Tacitus. However it is high and dry on a platform above the confluence of the Tay and and Almond and may have guarded a bridge. Who knows?
What an awesome channel! I know this is a very new channel but these two videos you have are amazing! Might i suggest you guys do "could YOU survive as an American soldier during the revolutionary war"? Keep up the amazing work!
Or more specifically....could you survive the winter at Valley Forge? Even worse, could you survive a worse winter with worse "shelter" than Valley Forge? Valley Forge got the fame but it was NOT the worst winter for Washington and the Continental Army.
Wow for a smaller channel with less than 30k subscribers this is very high production value content. This is like a cable TV documentary. This is great
9:26 it's incredible how accurate trajans stone relief is! I only recognised now the upper arm muscels, padding underneath the helmet (which nowhere and not even here i believe gets appreciated and valued), and even the face expression of the "everyday, normal soldier in his 20s"! Haha nice doc
Amazing video on this topic! This could even expand throughout the late Roman Empire and the surviving Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 AD. The Roman Empire was powerful, pre-eminent, eternal, and universal in its time; but the very base and foundation of the Eternal City and it's power was built on the Roman ability to, first and foremost, survive insurmountable odds repeatedly and adapt successful techniques and technologies from their adversaries, and then perfect said techniques and technology for their own use against their foes until they submit to Roman grit and steel. The entire Roman history is perfect for this "Surviving History" series. But most importantly, as a lover of history, this channel and its administrators are doing what modern-day, gigantic history media outlets are failing to do: bring history to life for the viewers, give great entertainment, and most of all, give accurate information on the topic(s) covered. Keep up the great work, this will definitely be a hit series on the internet! ❤️🔥
I lived in Mold for years and i never knew this place existed so close to me (where this is located is literally the next village over in Hope) until i moved last year, definitely going back with my partner to visit sometime later this year. Wish i paid more attention to my local landmarks. Thank you for bringing this to my attention, definitely will be donating.
If you're looking at heading to the fort, aim for the end of May, the main event takes place the last week of the month. The entry is a bit more expensive, but it has reenactors from all over europe
You're doing some amazing work dude good job. Your series reminds me of a show hosted hy that dude from Home Improvement called Foot Soldiers that delved into the life of your average Soldier's and Warrior's throughout history. He covered the Romans, Viking's, World War I Soldiers, Napoleonic Soldiers, the list goes on.
Congratulations for the meticulous research that went into this documentary. I salute the Centurions grasp of Latin which adds to the re enactment experience.Not nit picking but there is one rank that was not mentioned Optio who was second in command to the Centurion.Also the books i have read refer to the catapults as scorpions and ballistas,sorry for being a bit nerdy!😀 👍
8:28 as a student of roman provincial archeology I am delighted. You use a wide variety of sources like tombstones and the other non literary evidence. A wounderfull look at the fascinating ordinary life that you encounter as an archeologist.
This channel is one of the most underrated history channels I've seen! These are high quality and very interesting to watch. Thanks for making this amazing content!
Hey there! Fantastic video! I'm a huge fan of military history, and your content really hits the mark. I was thinking, it would be absolutely amazing if, in the future, you could potentially gain access to explore the life of a Swedish Carolean soldier. Cheers
The Sarmatian Horse Archer actress is awesome! Congrats for the video sir! I loved it! This is a very underrated channel, that deserves much more recognition and endorsement! Keep up the great work!
Building such a camp, where you can relive life from back then, is a fantastic initiative !! Thanks for the vid, really appreciate it 👍 Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
I spent an amazing great morning watching your two videos. Can't wait to see what you and your team will come up with Very interesting that you brought up boredom in the daily life of soldiers.
I love the idea of a movie/show depicting different auxiliaries working alongside Legionary’s. The bit with a Syrian and British Auxiliaries facing the Sarmatian horse archer stands out in particular :)
Love this so much! Though, these shows always remind me how badly we need more young people in the living history community. Every period of interpretation suffers the same problem. We're old dudes trying to look and act like young dudes
It's crazy how modern the roman army was doctrine wise. Full time employed soldiers, regular training, division into smaller squad sized units, marching training and regular patrolls through hostile territory to assert dominance. Thats really what you see in modern militaries.
Excellent video. This channel is a certified algorithm W. Watching this video reminds me of listening to my beloved Hardcore History episodes by Dan Carlin. I love these glimpses into ancient life at the ground level.
That Legionary tombstone was so cool, its amazing how they even thought that they would actually be remembered as heros and as historical characters that we study, thousands of years in the future.
I train with these guys 24 years ago fit young and boy 45 minutes of combat manoeuvres was hard my new chain mail was brown my boots well worn in but well worth it I made all my own gear I did auxiliary. Good way to learn 🎉😊
51 years ago in the U.S. 8th Army in Seoul, we were in old barracks that the Japanese used before us. The showers were open areas. The toilets had side walls but no doors. All the paper for all toilets were on one metal locked pole so no one could steal the rolls. You tore off the amount of paper you thought you would use or you would partially pull up your pants and waddle over to the paper pole and waddle back. Fun times!
I would love to see something like this done for the Anglo-Saxon period (specifically after the reforms of Alfred the Great and his successors (I.E. the ''Burh'' system)). I think it would be amazing to have numerous forts around the country from different time periods so we could explore the various styles and defensive theories of the various peoples who settled on this island throughout different periods.
What a great video, reminds me of the History channel from my youth. Really informative, can't wait to see more and hopefully we can revisit this Fort when it has the HQ built.
Imagine being a knight, the current year is 1562. You just surpassed your squire days and became a knight, you have bought all your gear and heraldry. You hear word that your kingdom will lay siege 2 days in the future, your train, prepare, pray, and are sent off north. As you are preparing, staring at the enemies across you, next to your brothers on arms. Your Commander in Battle says the infamous 6 letter word “Charge” and you run to the person you were death staring from 2 miles away. Your lines and brothers clash with the opposing kingdom, all you hear is screaming and swords clashing and men crying in pain. And next thing you know there’s a Knight 5 feet away from you raising his sword to slice you up. You get lucky and manage to get some lucky hits, and you’re saved by your vanguard buddy. You tip your hat to him and look at the carcasses of the knight he had just slain, you remember he had parents, a life, and a happy family. You decide to shake that off your shoulders and fight the next person you see, you have morale because your anger from you wounds. But unfortunately that’s the last choice you ever got to make, next thing you know. Your body is seen decapitated, scratched, bruised, pale, and that was his first siege. Moral of the story: Most knights and more didn’t even have more than 1 or 2 battles, that’s the brutality of medieval warfare.
43:22 if you add vegetables this kinda looks like a meal we make in France which is called " pot-au-feu " or " pot-on-fire " if you translate it literally
Really hope you enjoy the video guys! Let us know what you think in the comments and please consider supporting the channel at: ko-fi.com/survivehistory
Which aspect of life on the frontier do you think you'd find hardest to cope with? 🤔
Big thanks again to the Roman Military Research Society and Park in the Past - both helping to keep history alive! 💪
If you're able, you can also donate to the 'Big Fort Build' to help this amazing project become a reality: localgiving.org/fundraising/buildthisfort/
Great Videos, it would be cool to see some on Prussia, Cossacks, White Russians, Shogun and the Musketeer era.
I would have been a pict fighting against the forces of darkness - the Romans.
PLEASE DO AMERICAN CIVIL WAR
Why aren't Wales and Northern England occupied; what date is this...?
They're great, will definitely be visiting.thanks.
I absolutely love this. You're not just watching and talking over footage, you're actually there wearing the armour and experiencing the life. This is the kinda thing more of these historical life documentaries should be, actually experiencing what they're talking about as close as we're able to approximate.
Agreed man, It’s really good.
It's almost like most content creators don't deserve ANY views.... Maybe... Maybe we should address that...
Great videos, it reminds me of good history documentaries on Discovery Channel and the like from 15-20 years ago. Looking forward to upcoming videos!
Literally was thinking the same!
I wish they still made them like that.
Why white western people playing Roman? Rome called whites unclean barbarians and uncivilized and looked down on you on racial sense as well, they were Tanned Olive skinned. It's like black people playing Nazis.......
Definitely
The vibe is so similar!! It’s really scratching the nostalgia itch for watching those docs with my dad back in the day haha
I like the centurian guy. He tells/explain well and clearly with a solid voice. So props to 'you'.
22:43 “probably the least favorite job for Roman soldiers in a fort would’ve been sentry duty” haha some things never change as it is the least favorite duty for soldiers in a modern day military
Why ?
@@Ruhnumliterally the same primary reason listed in the video
Tower guard was one of my least favorite parts of serving in Iraq thats for sure.
Worse than digging trenches and foxholes?@@California__Jon
Funny enough, during my conscription service the sentry duty for the division's fuel storage facility was the most sought after, cuz it was located a few kilometres away from our base, and it was basically a day off from a drill, even with only a 4 hours of sleep, divided in 2 parts. It was awesome even with high command checking 1 or 2 times for the whole duty (especially after a group of soldiers from my platoon almost got caught with booze)
I found this video through one of the shorts discussing food. Honestly, I was expecting an entire documentary about food but this was actually really good!
Looking through your channel a bit later, I found out that this is a newer channel. Safe to say you folks have earned a new subscriber.
Thanks so much and welcome aboard!
Man this is so good keep doing this you going to be huge. Such high quality 👍🏻
Appreciate it!
This is some really top notch work! Levelling the likes of history documentaries from the 90's and early 2000's, the type that seem to have gradually vanished in the last 20 years.
Thanks so much!
Oh man! I remember episodes like: Medieval castles and Ancient Warriors on the History Channel back in the! You’re so right!!
Bit late to the party, but loving these videos. It's obvious that both the host sits on a lot of general knowledge of things commonly misrepresented, but also that the people they approach - reenactment groups who've been nerding these topics for, probably several years - are treated with so much respect and deference in their specialised knowledge. Pros and cons are adressed in a nuanced way, while there is at the same time no hesitation to poke fun at actual historical idiosyncracies. None of the over-dramatisation that we so often see.
Loving the guy acting the Centurion of the reenactment team as well. Both knowledgeable and very fun. Lots of respect for the entire Roman Military Research Society.
Cheers.
Great compliment to the team here, thanks for sending it!

Same, I am a huge history buff and this was an awesome watch. Amazing work!! Instantly subscribed
Love this. It's so much more interesting watching someone be a part of history rather than just talking about it
Comment for Emperor Algorithmus
😂😂😂😂
HAHAHAAHHAA
Hahahaha
ALL HAIL EMPEROR ALGORITHMUS!
Outstanding!
Thank you very much for creating this first class production and for elevating the great work that the people at 'Park in the Past' are doing.
Bringing history to life.
Our pleasure!
This channel deserves so much more recognition! The combo of your knowledge mixed with some of the reenactor's knowledge, and you actually wearing the gear and living the life is awesome! Please keep this content going!
Much appreciated!
This channel is incredibly under rated, interesting and professionally made. Can't wait for more!
My guy, its beeeln said by others but this is better content than most of tv shows nowadays, well done pal
thanks it means a lot!
the Park in the Past lads are doing a fantastic job for us all..... thanks
Great video!
Would love to see a "Could you survive as a Prussian Soldier in the Seven Years War" !
You’d have better chance than a Prussian peasant that’s for sure!
Your videos are a breath of fresh air .Its like having the old history channel back im hooked on your channel
Before ancient aliens and pawn shop garage reality TV wars... Ahhh. I miss real history
That Centurion has a rather sterling moustache.
This channel is literally CRIMINALY underrated man. I've never seen anything like this. I wish you guys the best.
Really appreciate that!
My big Maine Coon cat Brutus watched this documentary with great interest. I think he wants to join the legion. Don’t tell Caesar.😂😂😂
Tu quoque Brute, catte mi😄
The spot where Caesar was assassinated is an open air dig site, museum, and cat sanctuary in Rome. Been there, saw city workers putting out food for the cats :)
@@jlshel42Dang that's messed up, the poor birds.
Incredible work! And extremely entertaining while being insightful. Looking forward to more

Excellent. I haven't done the Antonine wall yet. The soldier's life? Routine, orders, discipline, boredom? Maybe combat was rare. @@simbaski
What an awesome channel! I know this is a very new channel but these two videos you have are amazing! Might i suggest you guys do "could YOU survive as an American soldier during the revolutionary war"? Keep up the amazing work!

@@LuvBorderCollies Good point! I didn't think of that
I think the worst winter was actually Morristown, in 1779-1780
Wow for a smaller channel with less than 30k subscribers this is very high production value content. This is like a cable TV documentary. This is great
Oh boy! A new channel to binge! Keep up the great work!
This is fantastic. Really miss documentaries like this
I bet these guys think about the Roman empire a lot.
Probably a roman soldier reincarnation.😂
I read the average American male thinks about the Roman Empire a few times a week
This is what real men think like.
This is so f cool.
You could feel the passion and love of the people you talked to.
Man, now I want to be a volunteer myself
9:26 it's incredible how accurate trajans stone relief is! I only recognised now the upper arm muscels, padding underneath the helmet (which nowhere and not even here i believe gets appreciated and valued), and even the face expression of the "everyday, normal soldier in his 20s"! Haha nice doc

This channel is one of the most underrated history channels I've seen! These are high quality and very interesting to watch. Thanks for making this amazing content!
Glad you enjoy it!
That zoom out at 24:50 got a laugh out of me, keep up the great content 👍

This is amazing... This is exactly the kind of thing I would love to do if I had the money to buy the kit and go to the places. It's awesome
I loved all the small details about day-to-day life. Thanks!
The centurion guy really puts it all together! 😊
The Sarmatian Horse Archer actress is awesome! Congrats for the video sir! I loved it! This is a very underrated channel, that deserves much more recognition and endorsement!
Keep up the great work!
I love that centurion's lorica squamata, their armor is my favorite to look at.
Incredible. Better than the melodramatic documentaries on tv, but just as - if not better produced. Loved it.
liked subbed. Incredible production quality. worthy to be on national television.
thanks so much!
The more things change the more they stay the same😊 it’s comforting to know that the infantry has been doing similar tasks for thousands of years
Really miss historical content this good on TV. Back when the History Channel actually HAD history. Fantastic work chaps! Keep it up!
Much appreciated!
100.000 subscribers. It will be a million! Never give up! Ave Legionariis ✋💪
I spent 4 years as a Marine, and I don't even think I'd survive back then. They were on another level, hard times make hard men.
Eh I'm sure you'd make it. We probably wouldn't recognize ourselves though.
Building such a camp, where you can relive life from back then, is a fantastic initiative !!
Thanks for the vid, really appreciate it 👍
Greetings from the Netherlands 🇳🇱, TW.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I spent an amazing great morning watching your two videos.
Can't wait to see what you and your team will come up with
Very interesting that you brought up boredom in the daily life of soldiers.
Means a lot thank you
What an excellent and well produced documentary. Thank you for everything you do keep the history and genuine content coming we love it!
Our pleasure!
I love the idea of a movie/show depicting different auxiliaries working alongside Legionary’s.
The bit with a Syrian and British Auxiliaries facing the Sarmatian horse archer stands out in particular :)
Great stuff, you’ve made so many things much clearer. Well done.
Great video and a look over what they ate and even trying the food for any future videos is a must have. 👍🏼
Great Channel, Hope you will stay Here for Long
That's the plan!
Really well done! Great research, montage and narration work..
Much appreciated!
Well deserved a lot of work went into that documentary..@@survivehistory
This channel is destined to explode. Keep it up.
Fantastic. I havent enjoyed a history documentary like this for about 15 years.
Fascinating to actually see the equipment, weapons and how they lived. Thank you very much.
This is a great video! Wonderful production quality. I'm stoked to see more from y'all
Production quality is excellent. I really can't believe it. Amazing
Loving this content! Keep it up and I'm sure I will see you with a million subscribers in no time!
Thanks Peter!
Love this so much! Though, these shows always remind me how badly we need more young people in the living history community. Every period of interpretation suffers the same problem. We're old dudes trying to look and act like young dudes
They should go to schools to invate the students to join in the reenaments. I bet they woul be trilled.
It's crazy how modern the roman army was doctrine wise. Full time employed soldiers, regular training, division into smaller squad sized units, marching training and regular patrolls through hostile territory to assert dominance. Thats really what you see in modern militaries.
Came here after a small short in FB and sat the entire episode. Great work with a nice pace. and great script.
i thought the Napoleonic war video was a one timer, this was a masterpiece, amazing
Thanks so much!
Excellent video. This channel is a certified algorithm W. Watching this video reminds me of listening to my beloved Hardcore History episodes by Dan Carlin. I love these glimpses into ancient life at the ground level.
What a cool video! Thanks for doing this and sharing a bit o knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This video was so cool, please do more!
Very underrated Channel
I appreciate that!
That Legionary tombstone was so cool, its amazing how they even thought that they would actually be remembered as heros and as historical characters that we study, thousands of years in the future.
These are brilliant. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Absolute banger of a video!
Okay...Praise be to the algorithm for suddenly recommending this
Didn't expect a high quality documentary, pleasantly surprised
I train with these guys 24 years ago fit young and boy 45 minutes of combat manoeuvres was hard my new chain mail was brown my boots well worn in but well worth it I made all my own gear I did auxiliary. Good way to learn 🎉😊
Please more ancient topics! Vikings, Gauls, Egyptian, Mayan… all the good stuff please lol this channel is so good
This is what the internet was made for! I'm excited to see where you go next
Can’t wait to watch it! Great content, keep it up!
Hope you enjoy it!

I love the slow documentary style too much of UA-cam is screaming and overstimulating, keep it up!
I would love to see something like this done for the Anglo-Saxon period (specifically after the reforms of Alfred the Great and his successors (I.E. the ''Burh'' system)).

Warfare in general. Anyone involved (save for commanders mostly) is at risk.
really enjoyed that and well done to my old colleagues in the RMRS!
your videos are amazing, only 2 videos and i am already a fan 🤩
"The Spear is a Weapon; you can uh..hold it and fight with it"
Wow 10/10 educational lesson there.
Thanks so much for making this.
Glad you enjoyed it!
This is so cool! Thanks for making this fellas and keep 'em coming!
Great content, liked and subscribed!
Welcome aboard!
43:22 if you add vegetables this kinda looks like a meal we make in France which is called " pot-au-feu " or " pot-on-fire " if you translate it literally
Great content, just like the previous work. Keep up the good work!👍
May be just me but I admire people who build old history in the proper ettire. Would have loved to be a part of it.
awsome video thank you so much you help me learn history!
