Gaius Marius: Inventing the Roman Army

Read " The First Man of Rome " by Colleen McCullough . One of a set of 6 books .

If you mix TOLDINSTONE with LINDYBEIGE this is the channel you get and that is a really good thing.🎉

If you'd like to know more about those eight-legged dolphins that lived underground then check out Graham Hancock's new book. " Space Romans and the Conquering Dolphins." Appearing on a Joe Rogan podcast soon to discuss this breakthrough historical revelation.😊

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.

According to Bret Deveroux, this account is overly simplified.

We in USA are being invaded right now by illegal aliens

Carthaginians, aka Punics, were the descendants of the Macedonian called Alexander The Great? Bull shit! Most likely the Koine Greeks, including Macedonians, were the descendants of The Phoenicians, whose largest colony was Carthage. Stop revising so-called His Story! The Koine Greeks allegedly did originate from the Minoans, with the Minoans allegedly originating from King Minos of Crete, whose mother was Europa. Europa according to those Koine Greeks was a Phoenician princess who gave birth to King Minos. Have fun with that Brits, since England and Wales were originally Phoenician tin mining colonies, that existed before there was a Greece! Bronze Age that mates!!!

Excellent video !

What Marius was able to accomplish as a "novus homo" was truly amazing feat! And how many times was he consul? I know it was a lot!

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.

This is basically an excerpt of Collen McCollough? I mean even the titles are from the book - not often I find anything about Gaius Marius though

When BCE started?? Woke genius 🤮

It’s BC not BCE. The annual calendar is based on the life of Christ!

Spell check please. A "hoard from who knows where reeks of the gold of arausio." A "HORDE of Cimbri " is what you likely meant. Please advise

Great work, sir.

really enjoyed the video!!

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.

That Hannibal/Nirvana comparison is wild 😂😂😂

Jesus Loves You

BCE and CE system is an abomination

Quite good apart from the bce crap. This wokey slavich agenda is worisome as it is impossible to believe anyone who is telling you "facts" who has an underlying agenda. Listening to this, it is impossible to believe that at least some lies and untruths are being perported upon us ane impossible to know which ones. Shame, shame and again shame. History should not be shaped by the present and those who attempt to do so should unfortunately be ignored. What a pity!!!

Excellent narrative!

Really enjoyed this video. I have a question. You were referring to the attackers as Tutonies and then without any explanation you are calling them Germans.

ENTRE ESTAS NARRATIVAS EM INGLES SOBRE HISTÓRIA DE ROMA,PREFIRO NARRATIVAS FIÁVEIS DE HISTORIADORES OU JORNALISTAS DE ESPÍRITO LATINO.ROMA,DESCRITA POR UM ITALIANO E UM INGLES É COMPLETAMENTE DIFERENTE.IMAGINEM O QUE HOLLYWOOD CONSEGUE PRA EXITOS DE BILHETEIRA.OS DÓLARES NAO TEM VERGONHA.SAO DE PAPEL.

Editing was good from an audio point of view but i felt like i was an epileptic watching the choppy visual edits, the narrators well worth watching as they express themselves well with their face and hands......meant as feedback, really enjoyed the video tho)

BCE - Before Christian Era . CE - Christian Era . Why bother with the Marxist renaming of eras.

What is with U guys with the BCE and CE? Just what the heck is this Common Era?

For thousands of yrs of Western History, we hv been using BC and AD. Everyone knows what that means.

But BCE, and CE?

Greetings from Australia. Very interesting. Loved.... turn up and throw your pointy thing and get the he'll out of there!

Good gawd, this is magnificent!!!

Ave civis. You are an exceptional presenter.

Thanks for the clarification. I think Putin is doomed with the same logic.

I'm kind of a chicken and I think I would have been a chicken back then and if I had money I would just pay somebody else to go.
I know me well enough.

This could could have been so much better. Your modern biases are showing through.

I put this on (3rd time? 4th time) while I work. Thanks

"Of course, the blue is the land."

the numidian king did no switch side there was a civil war and than both sides had Numidians

Why did you show a north African as a sub saharan African?

the republican legionnaires fought less for duty and more for loot, land grants and slaves, when you'r succesful everyone wants a piece of it, that's why the requirements for citizenship, wealth etc, they didnt want to split their gains with just about anyone

We're not winning victories anymore.

I usually skip through these types of videos, so I was surprised when I got to the end.

And if Marius had not existed...no Sulla no Julius Caesar....ironic.

You have restored the lost art of story telling. Thank you for the video.

Roman genocide of our people... If you are of northern germanic blood you should see the romans as slavetraders and evil conquerors!

It e eventually ended with the Generals armies defeating the Senate's armies ending the Roman Republic and being replaced by a Roman Emperor or strongman in the manner of those strongman who ruled South and Latin America back during the 60's and 70's

icymi, recently a retreating glacier in the Alps uncovered a genuine Roman Road through the Alps, one has to wonder, was it there before Hannibal attacked, or after?
The "elephants over the Alps" is a lot less impressive when we realize there wasn't any snow covering them at the time, plenty of fodder.

"Patres.....three weeks from now I will be harvesting my crops. Imagine where you will be and it will be so. Hold the line.....Stay with me! If you find yourself alone, riding in the green fields with the sun in your face, do not be troubled, for you are in Elysium and you're already dead. Brothers.....What we do in life echoes in eternity."

"we're gonna do great man history and have fun with squares" the fact that you do it so good that you enforce my silly quote. Thank you.

It’s BC
