Niederbieber helmet is my favorite by far. I love that 3rd century aesthetic

[ObviousTroll-ik]

Me: "Aurelian was Roman emperor from 270 to 275 CE. He was one of the so-called Barracks Emperors, chosen by the Roman army during the turbulent period known as the Crisis of the Third Century (235-284 CE). Besides victories against various invading tribes, he successfully restored the Roman Empire by bringing the breakaway territories of the Gallic Empire and Palmyra back under Roman control, which earned him the title restitutor orbis ('Restorer of the World'). In order to defend Rome, he ordered the construction of the Aurelian Walls around the city, many parts of which are remarkably well-preserved thanks to their continued use as defensive structures well into the 19th century CE."

Her: "We finished that group presentation on ionic and covalent bonds over two months ago, please leave me alone"

the roman T pose of dominance, it makes the germs barbarians flee in despair

[youvebeengreeked]

Aurelian's Sun-God helmet would've been the cherry on top. *:')*

-Wife asks me why men are so obsessed with the roman empire

-I have her binge six hours worth of video about the roman empire

-I will be back to you after she has finished watching them

Update: she filed for divorce

This is the best rendition of Roman armor evolution, I've seen so far, on the Internet. SPQR, my man!

[santiagorojaspiaggio]

Something that i love about YouTube and the Internet in general, is that the next films about the Roman Empire will have a LOT of visual references and very accessible sources.

[DefeatedRoyalist]

Wonderful video! Have you considered making a video on Hellenistic army compositions? Maybe something similar to your phalanx video.

I’d say the armies of Pyrrhus, the early Roman Republic, the Greek coalitions, and the Hellenic empires in the east would make an awesome series.

You’d be filling a much desired niche for those interested in the ancient Mediterranean!

Looking forward to more content :)

[ernstachterhof]

Amazing! I like the quality of the content. How about the evolution of the Eastern Roman armour? From around 4th century to 15th century AD

[Bryan_Salvador]

Damn i was looking for this kind of video for ancient civilizations but im surprised urs is the first one. Great job!!

[tommyfox]

The guy at 578 BC - 315 BC, to me, looks like he's wearing a bell on his head, and it's kinda funny, not gonna lie. =)

[thegunslinger]

Seeing them go from high classical roman empire to late western rome and realizing everything became to decay to the point where they could no longer afford these high quality unique pieces of armor only to start using what they would have once considered barbaric armor in chain mail and gaul armor, its ironic but really indicated the state of society at the time.

More fascinating is when they later figure out in the middle ages how to plate armor thanks to rapid advancements in finance, commerce, technology and necessity.

[troydodson]

Very sexy armors, spectacular series of evolution!

[Clearwood_]

476? Odd spot to stop at since only half the empire was gone at this point. Is there a part 2? Or a video going to the end of the Roman Empire in 1453?

[kingivar]

just like the German Army unfirom during WW2, the Roman Army armor feom 27BC-284 AD gave an appearance boldness to the soldiers

[SarxzcraftRblx]

You got something wrong, the Spagenhelms were not in service since 284 AD. They start to appear during the reign of Gallienus (253-260 AD | 260-268 AD) brought by Nomadic Scythians and Sarmatians as a result of their migration. Then the Romans started to integrate them since the Niederbieber helmets at this time stop being produced as a result of the instability.

[ReviveHF]

1:42 onwards, everything goes Medieval. Also, the Niederbeiber type helmet completely fell out of use after 5th century AD, however in the late 16th century, it somehow came back in fashion in a form of lobster tail pot helmet(Lobster tail pot helmet had origins from Middle East and Far East).

[Berxwedan.]

Can you please do a video about the Persians armour evolution? I just saw a picture of the immortals and it’s sick af.

[alexanderrodriguezleistens]

Nice job, and thanks for giving me my daily dose of Imperium Romanum info.

[Tax_Collector]

The Auplo-Corinthian helmet is my favorite design in this list, Switzerland adopted a similar style thousands of years later when the demand for steel helmets was trending in the days of World War One.
