The roman legion were mostly named from the original place they were from. They had many legions up in Germany but I do know the first legions formed by Marcus against the Germans were Legio II Italica and Legio III Italica.

none because the movie industry is jewish. and even if the movie industry was slightly better, popular historians on behalf of their jewish masters have completely warped peoples image of what ancient pagan europeans actually were like, so even if we were to get a movie about for example the battle of the Teutoburg Forest, the pagan europeans would be depicted as mud-eating mud-hut dwelling sexual degenerates and the romans as blonde haired blue eyed nazi fascist aryans or something.

we're never getting good movies or video games again until there's massive cultural and societal shifts in the west

homosexuals in rome, on the other hand, were their emperors, politicians and artists. probably the reason why they were constantly raped and pillaged by more virile peoples.

Were the romans soldiers actually individually skilled at fighting (obviously there'd be some highly proficient ones but speaking generally) or was it just their tactics and equipment allowing them to crush their enemies?

Lmfao are you retarded?

its actually robin hood men in tights

Neither, it was their numbers. The romans outnumbered all of their opponents and just threw body after body at their opponents. The roman militaries were made up of desperate incel single men

Both, but mainly tactics. Romans were the most "TEAMWORK, FUCK YEAH" guys in the world.

Based Brainlet. You'd fit in on /his/

>their numbers
their history is filled with victories with fewer numbers. It was their tactics and discipline over anything else

The goal was never really to kill the enemy. A typical Roman engagement was

>Throw javelins
>Take advantage of the chaos

As other anons have said they usually outnumbered their enemies and had more discipline. Most of the deaths happened when either side started running

It's been a while since I've seen the movie and I liked it back then, but I have to say, that editing is absolute garbage

Romans had the tightest pussy and by pussy I mean phalanx which helped them expand early on

This is roman christian propaganda that you've fallen for and nothing else.

The romans had numbers due to relying heavily on agriculture, but they lacked quality (bad food/urban environments) and most importantly, their soldiery lacked actual motive for fighting, while the enemies they fought were smaller in numbers due to being tribal in nature, which of course resulted in more quality men, and much better motives (defense of homeland from roman conquest).

Fucking kek.

The notion of roman superiority/discipline etc stems from hollywood propaganda. The roman soldier had no real motive to fight other than either citizenship or material reward after a long time of service. It was the desperate losers of roman society that became soldiers (or foreign desperate loser mercenaries).

The romans had nothing but numbers.

You know what i fucking dont understand? How come none of his original army's soldiers questioned his disapperance?

Wtf is your argument. In your own sentence you have stated that they had more numbers because they were smarter, which is implied by you saying they had agriculture. You are basically criticising the Romans for being more civilised, and therefore more organised, than there enemies. You've got some sort of faggotry love for the "underdogs".

What motive does a navy seal have to fight user

fuck off retard

>their soldiery lacked actual motive for fighting
Bullshit, their myths and legends were formed around militarism and it enveloped their culture early on which is why they always had replacements ready for their army.

1. I never at any point in my post implied that the romans were smarter. Having more numbers is not being smarter, I do not understand how you are equating the two.
2. Relying on agriculture doesn't make you smarter either, again I do not understand why you are equating the two. The food from agriculture is less nutritious, but grants easier access to more calories, allowing for a larger (but dumber and weaker) population.
3. Expansionism/imperialism/conquering for the sake of conquering is indeed bad, and one should cheer for the underdog in such cases. Although that wasn't the motivation for my post you're replying to.

That's the thing. You would expect that at least a couple of loyal soldiers would've seen him get out of his tent accompanied by Praetorians

answet the fucking question

and then what?

I don't know, probably some nonsense about defending america from the evil people across the other side of the world too dumb to have invented a single thing in the modern age. Or some sort of ridicilous american exceptionalism idealism.

Why am I retarded? I'm providing facts. The fact that the facts don't match up with your false hollywood image of the romans doesn't change the facts.

This is childish thinking. Step into the real adult world.

>Heavy relying on agriculture
That, to me, implies they are smarter. They are more civilised. Why would you not choose an easy access to food, which allows a greater population, which in turn means you can have more soldiers. That is smarter.

They had better equipment

I bet you listen to Ben Norton you fucking retard.

Agriculture and civilization might imply, to you, that someone is smarter. But that is factually not the case. We are many times more advanced than any humans at any prior point in history, yet the average human being is many times dumber aswell, and only getting dumber by the minute, not only due to increasing non-white population, but white people are getting dumber aswell.

Being able to throw body after body at your opponent, maybe defeating them =/= Being smart

It's a scene from Noah

They had access to more raw materials, allowing for the production of medium to high quality equipment to a larger portion of their military. But the tribal european societies had more advanced metalworking, although not access to the same amount of raw materials.

No clue who that is. Angry little manlet.

>Romans weren’t disciplined, they just had numbers!
The most famous legionary formation, the testudo, would require at least moderate discipline among its ranks. And to say that there was no motive for fighting would be only accurate in some cases. Remember that in the beginning soldiers had to pay for their own equipment. Romans idealised heroic, loyal men

>Romans idealised heroic, loyal men
Everyone does. Be it genuinely or as part of state sponsored propaganda to inspire soldiers. Yet that doesn't mean that is actually the case. The romans were not a people whom in practice were heroic. They had numbers and a modicum of strategy and tactics that they relied on.

Once again spotted the retard brainlet. Romans loved Greek culture except the homo stuff. Roman legionaries were killed brutally if caught fucking one another. If a senator was accused of being a fag and submissive it was over for him. Jesus you retards should try to get some facts

True, of course they would idealise heroism. But to claim the gauls or germanics were more disciplined fighters than the romans with their military traditions and tactics is a bit much for me. Individually better fighters I can believe, sure. But atleast provide some proofs man

The point I've made throughout the thread is that the romans were able to match the tribal europeans primarily by use of overwhelming their opponents with the numbers they had access to thanks to being more civilized and employing agriculture to uphold a larger population. They were 'more' disciplined than the tribal societies that they fought though, that is absolutely true.

Part of why the western roman empire fell was because they eventually outsourced their defense.
The roman army existed for a long time, so you've got to specify particularly who, when, and where since it's almost impossible to make generalizations without having to omit plenty of counter examples.

How did the message to kill Maximus' family get there before he did? He practically rode non-stop back home and no one knew he was alive so the message wasn't urgent.

Good discipline and great logistics for the time. Roman armies could generally pick and choose the time and place of an engagement against Barbarians. While the Germans and Gauls could bring massive numbers to the fight they had no logisitical support for their armies and had to force an engagement before their supplies had run out/they had picked the local area dry of food.

>Ride him until dawn then execute him
They travelled all night in the opposite direction. Messengers had effectively two days headstart plus they could change horses.

>The romans had numbers
It is quite impressive that they could lose 20% of their male population at the hands of Hannibal and still move on
>due to relying heavily on agriculture
Every settled society rely on agriculture? When Vercingetorix burned the Gaullic countryside it hurt them as much as Caesar
>lacked quality (bad food
That doesn't make sense
>their soldiery lacked actual motive for fighting
Pre Marius, only landed men could fight so they were all fighting for their home.
Post Marius, people fought for land, pension or citizenship. Plenty of motives even by today's standards.
>enemies they fought were smaller in numbers
More often than not, no. That's why Hannibal has gone down in history as one of the best (until an outnumbered Scipio beat him). The tribes were divided and conquered sure, but they also got their act together on several occasions (which makes up the famous battles since we are talking upwards of 100000 soldiers)
>which of course resulted in more quality men
A standing army results in more quality men. Tribal societies didn't have that since it costs money and they need men on the farms. Rome could afford it which meant it was usually suicide to battle the romans unless they were outnumbered
>much better motives
Again, pre Marius, defend homeland, post Marius, land and gold. On top of that foreigners were rewarded citizenship which made them flock to the legions
