150 000 РИМЛЯН УБИВАЛИ ДРУГ ДРУГА | Самая кровавая битва Рима (Лугдун, 197 г.)

In 197, the Roman Empire brought its most colossal army to the battlefield not to defend its borders from barbarians. It assembled it to destroy itself. On the snowy plain near Lugdunum (modern-day Lyon), 150,000 heavily armed veterans clashed. It was the largest massacre of Romans by Romans in the history of the ancient world. What happens when a perfect war machine collides with its own exact copy? Identical weapons, identical regulations, 100% knowledge of the enemy's tactics. The clash between the legions of Septimius Severus and Clodius Albinus degenerated into a tactical stalemate and a grueling, mechanical slaughter of attrition. In this video, we take a detailed look at the anatomy of Rome's greatest civil war: • How the Metropolitan Guard put the Imperial throne up for auction and provoked a legionary revolt. • Logistics Hell: How to Move Tens of Thousands of Troops Across the English Channel, Abandoning Britain to Its Fate. • The Economics of Conflict: How to Feed a Gigantic Army in Winter When the Neighboring Granaries Are Cleaned Out. • The Physiology of Combat in Close Formations: Why Iron Broke and Men Fell. • Engineered Traps, a Rain of Lead Bullets, and the Cold-Blooded Calculation of a Reserve General Who Decided the Battle's Outcome. #historyofrome#romanempire#romanlegions
