outside their parliament
Ah ok 👍🏻
It's time
RESTORE
THE
MONARCHY
King Louis XX
So Vercingetorix came up in my corrections project
Seems french were snatching defeat from the jaws of victory before they were a country
Julius Caesar. The Wall General. He does the whole wall thing at least 3 times in his career
He built a wall
And made the Gauls pay for it
in blood...
I gotta say though that is a smarmy ass tactic
Also once during the Roman civil war. and once in spain
O you have a fortress?
>builds fortress around fortress
this fucking guy..
I didn't know Caesar was such an incredible bad ass though
no. most politicians in rome at that time also were commanders
or at least were
It wasn't until the last century or two that people got political power without being warriors
Most ancient kings and a good number of medieval kings had fought before
@Ehzek you might love this channel. great documentaries about historical battles for all over the world and history

Yeah, I want to look up more of them
That is something I wish the Army did more. Having working knowledge of military battles really feels like it would help a lot
Caesar outnumbered 3 to 1 and winning? That is impressive
They are doing a Caesar series soon
only times he'd generally lose was against other veteran commanders. and he'd always beat them the second time
veteran ROMAN commanders
He did lose to Verc once but whatever
That whole thing was nothing short of impressive
Though its obvios that the Romans were WAY better fighters period
Augustus Caesar was just as good a commander , took after his uncle
That whole thing made me think that Caesar couldnt possible have gone out like a bitch though
Though history is written by the victors
At the very least I would expect many of them to be sporting black eyes
well, Augustus made it so after Julius died he became a god. so in a way it was written by the victors
Should look into the Swedish guy Carolus Rex from the Sabaton song.
