Hey! I am from the village of Dryanovets, where the battle took place! There is a legend that Decius's golden chariot is buried somewhere in the swamps a few hundred meters from my house, and we occasionally find stuff from the battle!

"How's the Roman Army doing?....To shreds you say...." "Well, how's the general holding up?......To shreds you say...."

I cannot understand how HistoryMarche manages to make so many videos so quickly while keeping up (and even improving) their art style, historical reasearch, script writing, and Video resolution. You gotta make a video on how you make your videos. I know you work with many historians, artists, video editors, etc who are outside the channel, but my goodness the pace of your videos remarkable. I have NEVER seen any History Edutainer make videos these good this quickly. What's your secret?

That cockroach freaked the f*** out of me 😅 Don't do that again!
-
It is been a 6 days since historymarche uploaded his latest video but not long after he upload another video again! But little bit I know that he is the One of the finest YouTuber of his time "undefeated in battle"

1:54 That was a big ass roach..

Hi all. I wrote the script for this battle. If you have any questions please ask! My other collaborations with HistoryMarche include Aurelian, the Third Samnite War, Satala, Edessa, and the Margus. If you're interested, I have a book on the Tetrarchy titled 'Dynastic Politics in the Age of Diocletian', which is now available for 25 pounds on the Edinburgh University Press website.

First bazbattles does a roman video today and now history march!!!! What a good day it is
-
Just shows how remarkable the achievement of Aurelian was given the difficulties he had to face in the Crisis of the Third Century. Also Gallienus should be given proper credit as well
-
Yes more Third Century Crisis videos! thanks HM!
-
More Roman era battles please. Maybe some of the battles of Aurelian, or Claudius Goticus, or the many more battles that allowed the empire to survive the 3 century crisis.
-
Decius: Oh , let's engage the enemy in a muddy terrain, it's not like we are gonna be trapped
-
Right before Aurelian came into play in the theatre of Rome. I love hearing about the lesser known battles more than anything, even if they only consisted of 10,000 men both armies combined. Nothing I love more than learning about a skirmish between two Greek city states or leagues in 600BC, or the minor battles of conflicts like the Punic Wars, Successor Wars, and the like. There is just something so... emboldening about it.

The cockroach made me throw my phone to the floor. History marche used a feigned roach and i hv been utterly routed
-
That is fantastic video again from Historymarche
-
I almost threw my phone away ! That cockroach was real 😂
-
You do a really nice job on these battles. I like that you set up the context by going back several years, it helps my understanding of the conflict.

Known for their sad countenances, black clothing, metal piercings, and white makeup the goths were one of the more terrifying armies to face!
