Mons Graupius (AD 83/84) was his crowning achievement. The battle broke the army of the Caledonian Confederacy and it seemed that Rome was finally on the brink of conquering the whole of Britain... This was a very fun topic to research and piece together. Capable commanders winning victories in spite of the political intrigue, crisis, and turmoil disrupting their efforts. Roman empire brimming with power. Fun tim

    I will die but you will never make Hannibal part 20 and more.
  • @SolidAvenger1290
    Agricola was like the "2nd Germanicus" and the only man who almost had the complete "Romanization" of Britannia. Imperial politics and rivalries, alongside strategic risk & the drain of resources and manpower for Rome, ultimately won.

    The talk about "Ordivices" and "Silures" makes me feel like I'm going through the various periods of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras. I'm half expecting to hear about the Romans fighting the Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous tribes next...
  • History marche always gives us brilliant documentries. Love from Sri Lanka. ❤

    Feet up on a lazy Saturday afternoon with a cold beer and about to play Rome Total War, so what a nice treat this post is to put me in the mood. This channel is addictive viewing and such a informative insight into battles we could only understand through history books.
  • @JawsOfHistory
    Few conflicts in human history have shown better the absolutely devastating power of heavy infantry. The Roman equipment, tactical drill and professional discipline made them a near unstoppable force, regardless of the number of the enemy.
  • "They create desolation and call it peace" words that echo down the ages. Tacitus could get away with a lot by putting words into the speeches of Rome's enemies.
  • @molybdaen11
    Its refreshing to hear of a experienced general who knew how to use his forces efficient and read the enemy.
  • @TrentBattyDrums

  • @DankSolider

  • @tenzinalexander
    History Marche is my favorite history channel! This channel has just as good info as Kings &Generals but HistoryMarche has the edge because of the narrarator. His voice has a haunting tone to it which makes it more immersive!
  • Man these graphical representations just keep making me happier and happier. Great work as always. I feel like I don't say it enough.
  • @The_ZeroLine
    It’s interesting by itself that Tacitus would write those words about his own country through the mouth of an imagined enemy chief. He obviously believed some of it himself.
  • @user-qe3hl7ql6b
    Great job as always. I hope you will support the Roman campaign against Parthia, especially the battle of Carrhae
