  The real MVPs of history are the ones who wrote all this down

  The early deaths of drucus and his son germanicus are two of the great what ifs in Roman history that I&apos;ve always found fascinating

  Got to admire how the Germans were like &quot;He&apos;s dead? Damn he was a great man and opponent let the grieving Romans pass!&quot;

  Rome just birthed exceptional General after exceptional General. All I knew of Drusus was that he was the father of Germanicus and he was the first to conquer present day Germany, and accomplished all of this before dying at the young age of 29. Very impressive.

  The Late Republic and Early Principate had a crazy roster of elite generals. Salvidienus, Ventidius, Taurus, Agrippa, Crassus III, Drusus, Tiberius, Germanicus and Caecina were all so crucial to conquering the frontier, holding down the new lines and consolidating the JC dynasty.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fs-53rhHWH0&amp;t=739">12:19</a> the side note saying &quot;Lacus Flavius is now the Zuiderzee&quot; is incorrect. The Zuiderzee hasn&apos;t existed since 1933 when the North Sea inlet was enclosed with the Afsluitdijk and turned into two freshwater lakes (and ca. a third into a new landmass named Flevoland, after the Roman name for the inlet.)<br> I am willing to update your map land/sea masks or whole files to be more accurate for different time periods to the highly dynamic north sea coast, for no monetary compensation. (going back as far as doggerland if need be)

  The coastline of Germany is the modern day coast, which is a relatively recent shape, only completed like that in the 1950s.<br>The coast back then would have looked very different with most of the waddensea being land divided by rivers.

  The Rhine Frontier was one of the most defensive and protected until the 5th century.

  Interesting. A character I knew only through comments in I Claudius.

  Interesting video and Drusus is an interesting character. The info box this time are a little too much used and some of that context would be better included in the narration or in a specific context video on the germanic tribes of the time.<br>When you do long format this is for sure a part to look for a fix.<br>Still enjoyable but the flow was very interrupted
