Mons Graupius (AD 83/84) was his crowning achievement. The battle broke the army of the Caledonian Confederacy and it seemed that Rome was finally on the brink of conquering the whole of Britain... This was a very fun topic to research and piece together. Capable commanders winning victories in spite of the political intrigue, crisis, and turmoil disrupting their efforts. Roman empire brimming with power. Fun times.

I will die but you will never make Hannibal part 20 and more.

I should admit that your content is addictive

The talk about "Ordivices" and "Silures" makes me feel like I'm going through the various periods of the Paleozoic and Mesozoic Eras. I'm half expecting to hear about the Romans fighting the Carboniferous, Jurassic and Cretaceous tribes next...

History marche always gives us brilliant documentries. Love from Sri Lanka. ❤

Agricola was like the "2nd Germanicus" and the only man who almost had the complete "Romanization" of Britannia. Imperial politics and rivalries, alongside strategic risk & the drain of resources and manpower for Rome, ultimately won.

Feet up on a lazy Saturday afternoon with a cold beer and about to play Rome Total War, so what a nice treat this post is to put me in the mood. This channel is addictive viewing and such a informative insight into battles we could only understand through history books.

"They create desolation and call it peace" words that echo down the ages. Tacitus could get away with a lot by putting words into the speeches of Rome's enemies.

Its refreshing to hear of a experienced general who knew how to use his forces efficient and read the enemy.

Few conflicts in human history have shown better the absolutely devastating power of heavy infantry. The Roman equipment, tactical drill and professional discipline made them a near unstoppable force, regardless of the number of the enemy.

It’s interesting by itself that Tacitus would write those words about his own country through the mouth of an imagined enemy chief. He obviously believed some of it himself.

ITS TIME FOR A NEW VIDEOOO, and its about Rome, My favorite! Thanks HostoryMarche.

History Marche is my favorite history channel! This channel has just as good info as Kings &Generals but HistoryMarche has the edge because of the narrarator. His voice has a haunting tone to it which makes it more immersive!

Ur voice is soo mighty, I could spend the rest of my life just you narrating me.

Have been anticipating this one . Not much coverage anywhere but you did it. Thank you much!!!

Great job as always. I hope you will support the Roman campaign against Parthia, especially the battle of Carrhae

Favorite Channel...Love from Sri Lanka❤

I enjoy the way you conduct your presentation and the animations are very nice

Thanks a bunch for sharing this with us Big Dog!

Awesome as always

Thanks a lot

This battle is an example of the effectiveness of the Roman war machine, to the point that they were able to defeat their enemies only using their auxiliaries (if Agricola had sent his veterans before, it would have been a greater massacre, but that was not the objective that he was pursuing, nor was it worth risking his legions).

Very informational and entertaining❤❤❤

Excellent post, thank you.

Thanks🎉

Always written and narrated exactly as it should be told.

Great video. Congrats!

Another wonderful historical coverage video shared by an amazing ( history Marche) channel. Video about conflict between chaladonian tribes warrior's and Roman legions at 74 AD on Britain 🇬🇧 island ..thank you for sharing

Thank you

This should be on the history channel on tv! The edits voice acting and well spoken gentlemen it’s all so perfect! Thanks for the upload!

Re: Site of Battle of Mons Graupius. I am about to publish online my translation of the Pictish language (in about 8 weeks time) which graphemics proves, unquestionably, to be an isolating creole language (advanced pidgin) that uses the Old Irish lexicon as the lexifier. Included in this work is the translation of Bennachie, one of the contender sites of the battle, at the foot of which hill is a Roman fort. Bennachie supposedly means, in Gaelic, "Hill of the Breast" from the shape. However, the Gaelic word for "breast" is 'chiche', and not 'chie' as it's been written since the 14th. century. There is an Old Irish word, 'chīe', (ref: eDIL), the intransitive form of the verb 'ciid' meaning "cries, weeps, laments, lamenting." Benn na chie = Hill of Lamentation. This ties in perfectly with Tacitus' description of the battle in which he describes the Caledonian tribes weeping and lamenting. Co-incidence? I have also got startling new linguistic evidence for the Battle of Dunnichen plus a complete translation of the ogham inscriptions and wholesale revision of Pictish place-names, all in keeping with the Five Components of Language. The Pictish language is dated with reference to Tacitus to the 1st. century A.D. Get ready... History is about to be changed.

Man these graphical representations just keep making me happier and happier. Great work as always. I feel like I don't say it enough.

This is awesome 👏

The Highland people put up a good fight but nothing they had could match the arms and armour of the Romans. Later on they would make life untenable for the Roman, through hit-and-run attacks and raiding, forcing them to leave.

I never Imagined that i will glad to see some red and blue square box fighting make me exciting

Thanks for the video.

Very informative

My account works again! Loved the video! You're amazing 😊😊😊❤❤❤❤

This is brilliant. Contributions like this make UKposts watchworthy.

4:20 always have to appreciate a Monty Python reference!

Great job

I have read that Agricola thought Ireland could be conquered by one legion. Seems unlikely, given how the Irish defended themselves in later times.

Interesting as per usual from this channel.

Great stuff.

I love all the literary references!

Great video

Another win for the good guys, if only every Roman General from this time was as competent as Agricola... he deserved a triumph. The soil was drenched with barbarian blood after the battle of Mons Graupius.. as a deep lover of Roman History, you're by far my favourite narrator. Love the way you present every single detail of these battles. Keep up the excellent work.

Single best channel on UKposts

Centuries later, the descendants of the caledonians, the picts would keep harassing and tormenting roman britain, the constant pictish and later irish raids would cause the britons to hire the angles and the saxons as mercenaries to fight off the other celts, but instead of going away they'd stay. The legendary king Arthur and other briton kings would stall their invasion for a few decades, but not that long after, britain would fall, and the anglo-saxons would rise in it's place.

Love the Life of Brian reference

Love your work (Daniel here)

Thanks for a fascinating look of one of the more interesting campaigns in Brittania!🔥⚔👏

Your channel is FANTASTIC! Down vote for the sponsor thou.

One does not simply walk into Mon.....unless it's low tide. .but holy crap swimming over the menai straights even if its at baumeris is an achievement in military history that's not really talked about in north Wales! It's still as wide if not wider than the Hydaspes and the widest is point 3km! but I reckon it would be a bit silly to swim there, ...I love these vids, makes me realise how much history is on my doorstep!!!

I've always loved Agricola since playing Imperivm III.

Love it

Hey! Love your content! (My account got troubles again, gonna comment as soon as i get it back)

This channel always wins the Battle of Entertainment by a wise strategy called : 'Making Masterpieces'.

🐐 of UKposts 🔥💯

A Gwynedd man once told me that the legions couldn't face the terrifying sight of the Welsh waiting for them on the other side of the Menai Strait. So they were ordered to wade across the strait backwards. And this freaked out the Celts.

Our Highlands have a strange feeling to them. A lot of war, death and battle has taken place. Not just this battle but clan warfare. The blood is in our soil and you can almost smell it when it rains.

Can you do the battle of velde in 1330 please. And also incredible the video👍.

"The legions came, hard hawkeyed men, war-wise in march and fray But we rushed like a whirlwind upon their ranks, and swept their lines away Army and consul we overthrew, staining the trampled loam Horror and fear like a lifted spear lay hard on the walls of Rome"

Thanks from Brazil and for. Subs in portuguese. 😊

Note , caesar calculated logistics were not ready to push into britain, he made a sound jugdement

I found Agricola's tactics interesting. Holding back his best guys like that, it makes me think he was very wary of another force suddenly showing up. Or just a strong awareness that he was at the very end of his logistical tether and couldn't afford a decisive loss, so he'd only risk auxiliaries.

You should cover the battle of Halys River in honor of the upcoming solar eclipse!

Cool!

Thats so interesting that Tacitus wrote out a speech for Calgacus, fictitious or not, that gave a fair counterperspective to the Pax Romana.

One of the first words I learned in Latin class was Agricola! Or “Farmer”! Some name for a Roman General!

Nice Video. Where did you get the voice over from? Its great

As a Total War enjoyer, I would have never taken a battle where : - I have to cross a river - I have to fight with the river on my back - I divide my army in 2, charge only with half my infantry (mainly light infantry), into chariots, into an army more numerous than me. Roman army was really that superior, it's hard to believe

"SCOTLAND FOREVER!"

I always thought they had killed Nuro not that he took his life. Very interesting. Thank you.

Nice to hear about the Batavians for once

Waiting for the battle of firaz! Its something never seen I guess!

"This UKposts Channel makes the best virtual reality experiances i have ever Had " "What you mean they are Just UKposts Videos?" 😦

5 mins ago is crazy

There's no evidence to suggest scythed chariots were ever used in Britain. This is how chariots were used: "In chariot fighting the Britons begin by driving all over the field hurling javelins, and generally the terror inspired by the horses and the noise of the wheels are sufficient to throw their opponents' ranks into disorder. Then, after making their way between the squadrons of their own cavalry, they jump down from the chariot and engage on foot. In the meantime their charioteers retire a short distance from the battle and place the chariots in such a position that their masters, if hard pressed by numbers, have an easy means of retreat to their own lines. Thus they combine the mobility of cavalry with the staying power of infantry; and by daily training and practice they attain such proficiency that even on a steep incline they are able to control the horses at full gallop, and to check and turn them in a moment. They can run along the chariot pole, stand on the yoke, and get back into the chariot as quick as lightning" (Gallic War, IV.33)

Fun!
