Just finished episode 4 That series "Valhalla" was really good too. They should do one on Crassus and his demise vs the Parthians.
I recommend watching in German with subtitles for English speakers. The dubbed English is not that great.
Hope the Ukrainians watched it Proves a well led determined army can destroy the "bully" in their own backyard
watched this when it came out but mine was in English tried to watch the german one but my netflix was auto english dub
Marco Polo/ Troy are also great Back to German made "Barbaren"/ they made the Roman Governor appear humane and honorable. After reading on it, that was accurate. Certainly a gentleman compared with thugs like Sulla/ Crassus/ J. Caesar.
It also shows the strategy of using one's enemies tactics against them -- Taking a numerically stronger force, and funneling it into a elongated/stretched-thin line harder to defend and more easy to flank. By directly attacking at the middle of the line with brutal force, it causes panic/confusion in the front; fearing that they will be cut-off from the rest of the force. The rear is left to retreat and be corralled; to then be ambushed from a fortified position.
I think this series is about my family. My ancestors were the Vandals. Even have a word in the dictionary for them. Vandals/Vandalism. Ha!
