The Marian Reforms

[MrKrumpmaster]

great video man, i remember when i did history day and i did Shaka Zulu. but anyways, how did you do with NHD?

[Draggis92]

Good video - very informative!

[woodenmajor]

nice work.

[merriannmclain]

Marius was not only Caesar's uncle by marriage but, may have been related to Sulla. Plutarch mentions Ilia as Sulla's first wife which some philologists take as a diminuitive of Julia. More trivia

[Saturnstales]

I actually had been wanting to learn about why Marius was so important when talking about Julius Caesar. Good Job!

[andresisthename]

It's so refreshing to hear a young kid making a documentary about the Marian Reforms, a subject you wouldn't normally expect a kid to like. I was obsessed with Rome since I was a kid so I share the feelings for that old empire. Well done mate, keep on the good work.

[ptolemy1989]

this was really well done.

[theerasmussoldier]

not everything you're saying is right. for example the hastati, triarie and the other staid and those pictures of armor were wrong. the lorica segmentata was introduced in the 1st centerie A.D. these are just a few examples.

[VigisKane]

BCE??????????

BC YOU YANK CUNT!

[F86sabreftw]

@VigisKane The changing of BC to BCE had to do with the way time is referred. The BC means Before Christ. BCE means before common era. ps not everyone is a christian so saying BC means nothing to them, So do not go around insulting people just because you do not know the meaning of something.

[AllanGarcia88]

@VigisKane I'm pagan and I don't believe in Christ, so I have to use BCE not BC... Is more neutral ¬¬

[kyleisreallycool]

@VigisKane not PC bro

[1jomojo]

[crackshack2]

RTW

[AVMamfortas]

A first class piece of work. You are a young man with a future.

[Aidz82]

Nicely done.

[alexamist13]

Just to mention, you actually mispronounced:

Princeps= pronounced as 'prinkeps'

Velites= pronounced as 've-li-tes' not 'veleets'

By the way, you did a good job creating this video and good narrating too. c:

[easportselite22]

@alexamist13 and if you're going to be so anal on your pronunciation, then let's get deeper into the Latin. If you're going to correct someone on saying "princeps" prinkeps" then you have to say "welites" for "velites".

[pastet2x2]

@easportselite22 yeah,you're right

[AllanGarcia88]

@easportselite22 You can't speak latin

stulto di merda!

[easportselite22]

@AllanGarcia88 LOL okay, insulting me haha, get a life, you can't speak it, i bet you had to google translate that :)

[TheSpaniard1521]

Outstanding video you should do one explaing Roman Weapons

[Rucifel17]

really awesome video, good job!\

[Yorgar]

correction he lead a counter-attack not counter -offensive had he lead a counter-offensive he would have been attacking somewhere else in the country not on the same site of the intial attack besides that damn good work. i enjoyed it

[The20876]

I love you!

[Rehpot024]

Nice video.

[sneakyooo7]

Good video.

[pdizz1e86]

Well done! Very helpful.

[Zamolxes77]

good video, very well explained.

[chocoman45]

Why is there a Medieval II total war pic in there? Good job by the way.

[homicydeMC]

not a bad video mate



[homicydeMC]

go the total war gameplay lol

[Sum8070]

Was the marian reforms really a reform or just a quick fix ?

[TheRomanRuler]

@Sum8070 Gaius Marius gave all of his forces same equipment. Then they made it beter, and they became "classical legions (=loriga segmetanta legions)

[magicstorm1]

@Sum8070 it wasn't a quick fix but really a reform. But keep in mind that it took about a century before it became a complete reformation. Meaning it was a very slow process.

[IIXXIIXX]

very nice

[bloodrage84]

Rome Total War FTW

[patsfreak]

Nice. Should have listed the actual tracks for the music, it was good stuff.

[Athalston]

Excellent stuff.

[1138thz]

A good effort but the armor is all wrong...The Lorica segmentata didn't come into service until about 10BC and you didn't mention the Auxilia.

[BDWFilms115]

not bad at all, a little innacurate but very well plotted :D

[HistoricalRecBattles]

The changes weren't simple :P

The army was almost completely reorganized!

[horatio50000]

Gaius Marius Awazing General, soilder and organiser! He still to Sulla in and the civil war!

[GamerDudester]

Marian alone didn't 'abolish' the idea of lines. His Cohort was made of a line of Hastati, Principe and Triarii as well as velites. One MANIPLE of each formed a Cohort. Later the cohort was made up of centuries of 80 men each and a cohort of 480 as opposed to the Manipular Cohort of 420.

[originalganjata]

Good, but after the polybian reforms around 240BC the roman army was not made up from farmers but professional soldiers. And they were paid. But the rules about joining the army are pretty much corect.

[Praventore]

nice vid but  full of Disinformations :)

[Suppressingfire]

nicely done :) thumbs up

[FuriousPoster]
