"Times New Roman vs. Helvetica"

[KomodoDojo]

no shit he was mad 12 years later, lost 5k men because his scouts be tripping.

[TheMuffinMan]

"Secretly constructed a 28 Kilometer wall." How did nobody notice this?

[Ljk]

"He gave one of these positions to a man named... Labienus."

Dun. Dun.

[brockmiddleton]

I find it amazing how quickly and effectively the Romans were able to build bridges

[vimm]

Wow.. I'd be pretty damn angry at that scout myself lol

[TheSecondVersion]

"It's over Helvetii! I have the high ground!"

[NextGen_Pants]

4:21 - Missed a huge opportunity to say "the Helvetti were upsetti"

[ndenz]

I can't imagine how angry I'd have been if I missed out on a perfect opportunity for a pincer because of bad intelligence. Caesar's plan would have proceeded exactly as intended. Dammit Scout, you had one job.

Thanks a lot for this! Being Swiss myself, I learned about the Helvetii in school but it was very brief.
"1 there were Helvetii
2 Ceasar blocked the way
3 Helvetii died
4 the end"

[karl_fookin_tanner]

imagine what the 2 legions on the hill waiting for caesar were thinking... "WHERE TEH FCK IS CAESAR"

Whenever I remember this channel almost died out, whew! I mean I love this channel so much! I used to reccomend it to people, but said it only has a few videos. Look at it now! :)

[Goleary]

Seriously, remaking a show like Rome that takes place during the ten years or so building up to the Civil War would be beyond awesome

[kekero]

ill think about it (Builds a giant 20km wall)
how about no

[sarasamaletdin]

I think the current theory is that Caesar wrote about the Gallic wars after every campaing season during the winter (which is why it was not him that wrote the last section about the war since he was busy with Civil War) and they were accounts to the Senate (as well as propaganda). So he would have writen about this the same year not 12 years later and partially why he would have been upset is that he did not have the other great victories in the time of the writing so it would not have been great to write about things that went wrong.

"the romans were weirdos"



you got that right

[matthewpaddon]

I see Caesar was well trained in the ways of the High Ground. Good mentoring Obi-Wan!

[TheDurentator]

"A week passed by... and the Helvetii discovered the Romans had secretly constructed a 28 km line of defenses infront of the river."

Damn, those Romans didn't waste any time at all they were some eager beavers. I can't help but feel like the Helvetii might not have been the sharpest spoons in the shed.

I’m rewatching your entire catalogue for the first time since I found the channel 3-4 years ago. When I heard those familiar notes at 12:00, I had the biggest smile, I tell you.
