False, Velites stood there and stared at the enemy, refusing to throw even a single javelin, before turning to run just as the enemy heavy infantry swarmed them and slaughtered them to a man.

Good video!

@gappayayo4602

Portraying the visuals as graffiti on the walls was a great touch and takes me back to HBO’s Rome

@Hopeofmen

I did a report on the Manipular legions in University, so it's a joy to see a video by you on them! :)

@Computer_Science_For_Everyone

Roman logistics and supply chain, very underrated.

@andrezuritaserrano9867

I love the detail of the big rocks on the streets used to jump from one sidewalk to another and avoid all the waste on the streets. Perfect video!

@ashtonbrumit5177

I’m going to Rome next month and I’m so excited to study Roman history

@cainer_exe

I always kinda find it funny when armies adopt their enemy's weapons it's like " Hey see how painfully Cabernicus  died from that sword wound? We should use that!" 

Great video Epimetheus, your art work keeps getting better and better as well. I love the details with the helmets, most of the time you tend to see just one or two different types in movies.

@peterleonard49

I already knew most of this but this was a really great review. This is one of the best videos I've seen on the roman early military. The drawings are excellent as well.

@F3z07

Wow! Roman Republic AND Epimetheus?! Two of my favorite things!

@ashina2146

BBC and American Historian: "So do you mean a Roman wasn't born wearing a Lorica Segmentata in 270BC?!"

@rustomkanishka

Imagine if modern nations put the upper class citizens of its country front and center during battles. 
We could actually achieve world peace.

@historicaladventurevideos

You're back! Thank God!

@at1_a

Epimetheus you have an uncanny ability to always create a video right as soon as I start to get curious about the subject, as always both the art and the information you give is greatly detailed :)

@callido592

Fun fact: the word "plebs" comes from Latin "implere" (to fill up) and was given to those who were poor and could only afford cheap equipment. They were only used to fill up the ranks, if it was necessary

@vegapunk100

Your drawings are so historically accurate I love it

@docslime5626

This is still by far one the most interesting and well done depictions of Replica Era troops. Men who’s actions changed the world.

@artkoenig9434

Your use of a Roman street as a background was  a stroke of genius.  You put it to good use  during your detailed presentation!  Thank you!

@SasoriZert

The Roman Legion what all armies wish to copy but few can ever pull off not only the armor, weapons, building prowess, tactics or even the men used in them as soldiers but their ability too adapt that made them a true threat for any nation they faced

@aindoria

Other tribes: "I made this."
Rome: "You made this?"
also Rome: "I made this."

@Bufoferrata

It's too bad there isn't much info out there on the Samnites. They were Rome's most stubborn opponents and they didn't really go under until the Battle of the Colline Gate in 82 BC. That's tough! A detailed video on the Social War (91-87 BC) would be terrific!
