my smile widened when he said the translator survived! our dude is out there translating words and survivng hostage situations like a chad

[HarduntheRanger]

A moment of silence for Publius Crassus, saving Caesar here only to die under his father's orders.

[Rasmorak]

"The Germans attacked with shocking speed ... their cavalry and infantry worked together in the attack"

Well what a surprise.

10:34 Man I wish my dad loved me as much as Caesar loved that interpreter

I wish there were more educational channels like these on YouTube. Enjoying learning is, in my opinion, one of the most important things for a good education.

The Germans crossed the Rhine — They attacked with lightning speed — Their cavalry and infantry coordinated in tightly packed groups to punch through enemy lines.

Gotta hand it to the Germans; they sure are consistent.

[matteowatz]

Combining infantry and cavalry ? Ariovistus, the real inventor of blitzkrieg

Just want to say I really enjoy your videos. A really great watch/listen whilst playing some Rome Total War on my down time.

the return of the Gallic Interpreter made me jump of joy! :D

[PANCZASU]

So technically speaking Ariovistus's advisers were right in the end. Victory was impossible... because of their advice! xD

"hey hans should we burn this guy or what?" "nah fam"

[jmiquelmb]

Who said translation was a boring job?

[franzluggin]

So the equites joke was somewhat like "he's treating us so well, he turned us into knights!"?

[mrswan]

So I am in an AP World history class, expecting to go in depth with more topics- as one would expect, right?
No. Instead, we learn the same basic, brief information except we blaze through a chapter a week skimming the surface of history from the dawn of civilization to now.
Channels like this are the only reason I have any sanity whatsoever.

"I ain't never seen that in a movie" HA! classic :)

[rileyboulay]

It's over Caesar, I have the high ground!

Or not.

I think an important part of this conflict that was left out of your video is Caesar's account of how his men were initially too scared to fight (Caesar claims that many were actually crying) and were ready to give up. After an inspirational speech from Caesar, where he claimed that even if they fled, he himself would lead the fight with the tenth legion, whom he knew would stand beside him if all others fled, his army regained their resolve. Also, if I recall correctly, it was members of the tenth legion whom Caesar chose to join him on horseback for the meeting with Ariovistus.
