Ancient battles are often depicted in media as the epic climax of some story. When victory is achieved, the music swells, and the screen fades to black. However the reality is that battles are not so tidy. The aftermath of such conflicts go on for days as armies return to tend to the wounded, collect their dead, loot equipment, and set up monuments.
In this documentary on the Roman Army, we seek to humanize the aftermath of a battle by seeing how this actually played out.
This was made possible thanks to the awesome team at Imperium Romanum. Be sure to check our their channel!
