The story of Caesar's best Legion (Full History of the 10th, Pt.2)

In this video I will be going over the second half of the history of these Spaniards from Baetica, who earned their place in History through their great efforts and loyalty to their general.

I would greatly appreciate any support you would like to give this channel, as it will help me create more quality content for you in the future!

"Perhaps that will help you recognize a soldier of the 10th."
Badass.

I've never been instersted in history until I have your channel. This was what I was missing all these years.

I really appreciate your effort! What you do is truly amazing

[billrichardson]

I am certainly not an historical expert. But I am a huge historical enthusiast. I find your videos on Legio X, Equestris, parts one and two, to be the finest in my experience. Congratulations to you, sir. I have subscribed and will continue to watch for more content such as this. Thank you!!

10th: give us all these wages after years of hard work and brutal war we aint doing anything more
Caesar: 'cItiZenS'
10th:say no more fam lets invade africa

[jonrunargislason]

I just imagine Crastinus must have been the highest ranked soldier in the whole roman army at that point and also the most battle experiences, and wonder if he did not just sacrifice him self in battle like you sayd amongs his loved commrads understanding this would be among his last battles, wanting to end it fighting with the men he had led for 16 years to glory rather than facing the civilian life that probably did not suit him. What a man, and what a life he must have led.

You ever feel so shameful because you got called a *CITIZEN*

"Without training, they lacked knowledge. Without knowledge, they lacked confidence. Without confidence, they lacked victory."-Caesar

This channel reminded me of Historia Civilis when it was just starting with the narration and mic. And also tackling very interesting topics from Roman History.
I can't wait for your future videos since your series feels a bit more a "Band of Brothers" rather than a documentary.

When I make a video on a Legion, I try and go into detail only in the battles it greatly influenced. As you can tell by the length of these 2 parts, the 10th Equestris was quite the dominant Legion in almost every one of Caesar's battles! I hope I painted a picture of just how much of Caesar's reputation was built on this legion alone... The Roman Legions need more respect!

I want to thank everyone for the support you gave me! You will forever be more than mere "citizens" to me! ;)

The individual Leg X veteran taking out the horse with a javelin after stepping forward with a rebuke defending his honor...if accurate, that sounds like a great example of glory in war.

[azulaamv]

I can't believe how detailed this video is. All those edits and clips are perfectly matched!!! I'm even more interested in Rome history now ;)

[gigachaddusmaximus]

Dude... This is so fucking cool. You literally told the full story of the most famous roman military unit of all time!

[aelix]

The balls on that guy javelining the horse were massive enough to protect from 10 legions worth of javelins. Reminds me of that battle somewhere in france where the spaniard emissary said they would talk about capitulation after death.

[semregob]

The X is just unstoppable, unbelievable how Caeser deploys the same tactic over and over and still wins.
Truly a great combination, a charismatic general and honorable men

[alvaroruizmartinezdelacasa]

As a Spaniard I am proud of the brave Spanish legions.

[xazelnighthaunterfanboy]

Those lads were fucking legends RIP X Equestris

[hamzaelyousfi]

Amazing work
Would love to hear more stories of Roman legions, the legio V Alaudae personally raised by Caesar of gallic legionnaires or the XXI Deitorana the only legion raised by a foreign nation then incorporated to the army

[COUNTVLAIDMIR]

What a legendary legion. Much Respect to Caesar and the X Legion.
