A history documentary on the Great Illyrian Revolt against Rome. Brave the freezing darkness of Conqueror’s Blade Season VI with a FREE 7-day Premium Account! = https://patron.me/Invicta-CBVI

In this documentary we explore one of the unsung wars of Roman history which gets lost in the shadows of more famed conflicts like the Punic Wars, the Gallic Wars, the Civil Wars, the Parthian Wars, and more. Yet the Great Illyrian Uprising should not be forgotten as it was an extremely consequential event of the era. The war featured nearly 1 million rebels, saw the deployment of more legions than anytime since the civil wars, threatened Rome itself, and ultimately sowed the seeds for the disastrous Ambush of the Teutoburg Forest at the hands of the traitor Arminius.

Stay tuned for more full documentaries on Roman wars and other fascinating topics revolving around the Battle of Teutoburg. As you can imagine, I've been heavily inspired by the Netflix show Barbarians and can't wait to cover more of the history they merely touched on. Enjoy and see you in the next one.
