Construction of Hadrian's Wall started in 122 AD, not in 1101 AD as shown in video. Though I guess it could be useful for the Normans. Sorry, I've no idea how I've missed this mistake.

The whole narrative leading up to the battle made me think the Romans would lose lol
You got me

[resileaf]

This battle is one of those that shows just how powerful the Romans were when they were led by competent leaders. Julius Agricola planned everything to the letter, and everything went exactly as he had predicted. He didn't even have to use his second line! Talk about overwhelming power. And that's not even counting the rest of his campaign that went on pretty much flawlessly.

Ah yes Finally, nothing to get the New Year ready as good as watching Boxes kill each other

When you're so good that you don't even put your legionaries in order to win the battle!

I was literally going to bed....and then this came up...now I HAVE to stay awake for this!!!

It's so weird to hear "the year 80" without anything before the "80".

[jakedegani]

Baz I just wanna say I notice how much the quality has gone up in the past few months, and the scripts sound better too.Keep it up my friend!

I had no knowledge of this battle. So my jaw completely dropped at "A mighty Imperial Roman army"

[Anglomachian]

I was dreading this being another one when Rome loses, but then it’s a textbook example of them being unstoppable

[galenusv]

Calgacus: It's over Agricola! I have the high ground!
Agricola: You underestimate my power!

Centuries later...
*knock* *knock*
Britain: Who is it?
Saxons: Some nice land you got here.

This battle took place roughly 15 miles from where I live. The remenants of the settlement at the top of "Mons Grapius" are still visible to this day

I always liked Gibbon's assessment of Roman involvement in Scotland:

"The masters of the fairest and most wealthy climates of the globe turned with contempt from gloomy hills assailed by the winter tempest, from lakes concealed in a blue mist, and from cold and lonely heaths, over which the deer of the forest were chased by a troop of naked barbarians."

"The battle is about to begin"


First time I hear this sentence in 2020... A good start for the year !

I wish a good year to BazBattles

[plywoodcarjohnson]

Fascinating the amount of effort just to go back and build the wall later. But even momentarily some things can be conquered just to be abandoned within hours. Fortifications and outposts and whatnot. Some people die for nothing.

[seondo]

Well I did not expect to sit here at 3 am and see a video about mons grapius, Happy new year fae scotland Baz!

[ayeejiff]

I particularly prefer your video's because of your calm and subtle voice which gives me a somewhat pleasurable experience to enjoy your videos.
