🍺What Julius Caesar thought of Germans🍺

[locke]

“A post apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by less than human savages” ain’t that just Denmar-

[f.s.]

As a german, im very offended by these beers....we also have brezels

[lanfrancoadreani]

Tacitus has words of admiration towards them. They were barbarians but not savages. And I personally Like this part in which he describes their families " every home the children go naked and dirty, and develop that strength of limb and tall stature which excite our admiration. Every mother feeds her child at the breast and does not depute the task to maids or nurses. The young master is not distinguished from the slave by any pampering in his upbringing. They live together among the same flocks and on the same earthen floor, until maturity sets apart the free and the spirit of velour claims them as her own. The young men are slow to mate, and thus they reach manhood with vigour unimpaired. The girls, too, are not hurried into marriage"

"Where the Gauls were tall, the Germans were taller. Where the Gauls were blonde, the Germans were blonder."

Caesar: describes Germans as less than human.

Germany: makes their word for “Emperor” based on his name.

A true German moment.

[Jordi]

German is not the same as germanic I'm Dutch so I'm germanic but not German

[crimecast]

“Lacked a leadership structure”
Someone in the 1930s-40s took that pretty personally!… 😬😂😂😂

[leviswranglers]

Everyone's a Roman until the forest starts speaking Germanic.

[gunterxvoices]

"He's right, you know."

[EzekielDeLaCroix]

"Why do you fight for Caesar? This is what he thinks about you..."
Germanic Auxiliary: "Boy, I wish I could read..."

[IsraelN]

What separates animals from humans?

THE RHINE!

[MMadesen]

He didnt create the concept of being german. He just named them german. They were german way before and way after Ceasar encountered them.

[tdab]

"The romans thought that the Celtic tribes were blackwater savages, and the germanic people were doubly blackwater savages"

[zanzao-ps]

Man this channel's gonna grow, and it's gonna grow a lot. So much good content, I can't see this not hitting it one day

[jeannewillemse]

In Sweden and many parts of Scandinavia, it was already illegal for a free man to openly carry arms. Men would all store their weapons in a communal armory.(I believe this was actually documented by a Roman historian who traveled as far as Norway)Where in Germania this was not the case, any man could carry his weapons. The Germanic people where certainly the most warlike of the northern people as they were considered warlike by even the Celts....who were known for being warlike 😆 .

[RealShadere]

He more than likely hated them, but respected that they could fend for themselves against the mightiest empire of the time.
This is actually common, where opposing leaders respect each other's strategy and power.

[esti-odmz]

Caesar also was one of the first romans to distinguish between the Gauls and the Germanics. Strabo couldn't tell the difference. He recognised that Gauls had a well organized religion, while the germaics didn't...

[waltzingmahtilda]

Some say they’re still like that today

[lordsofafan]

They said the same of Britain and the "celts". Couldn't be further from the truth in both Germany and of the celts. Both had complex systems of power and ruling and coins etc etc, before the "civilisation" of the western European territories by invading Romans.

[sireatsalot]

"... This proves that Caeser was not just a strategist on the battlefield.
Caeser:tell me something I don't know
