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

The real MVPs of history are the ones who wrote all this down
@geordiejones5618
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.
@TheStrategos392
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.

Varus, give me back my verbs!

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

My son's name is Drusus Nero after the Roman general. I showed him the video, even though he is only 2 years old, he was amazed. Thanks for the video, I am a fan of the channel, you make a retired historian have fun on YouTube.
@Maverick0451
Drusus the elder was an incredible Roman. His son of the same name, known primarily to history by the honorific title Germanicus is my personal favorite Roman. I absolutely love this series!! I have rewatched your older series on Germanicus more times than I care to count. I have been a channel member since the beginning of the Pacific campaign, but I have been a viewer for LONG time before that too!! Your older Roman history segments are what brought me to the channel in the first place, and it's nice to see them get a modern reboot!!

12:19 the side note saying "Lacus Flavius is now the Zuiderzee" is incorrect. The Zuiderzee hasn'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.) 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)
@marcomilani4966
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. When you do long format this is for sure a part to look for a fix. Still enjoyable but the flow was very interrupted
@Numba003
That was quite an anticlimactic conclusion to a military campaign. It is fascinating to wonder what might have been had Rome managed to conquer and fully integrate Germany. Thank you for another wonderful educational video. God be with you out there, everybody. ✝️ :)
@lilshmeat8321
I really excited not just for the rest of the Germanic wars. But I’m really excited to see the Illyrian revolt as there’s not a lot of coverage on YouTube. and Tiberius rise in Augustus favor.
@Kili2807
I would agree with the other comment considering the many infotexts. Maybe put some in the narration, i guess most viewers wouldnt have a problem with the Video being 1-2min longer. Nevertheless a nice vid, immensum bellum and illyrian revolt next?
@thomyt2192
and so it begins! (love the return of TWR2 soundtrack)
@carlosfilho3402
The Rhine Frontier was one of the most defensive and protected until the 5th century.
@baronzeppeli4225
Thank you for this serie on Germanic war

Just in case anyone is on the fence about becoming a patreon for K&G, I'm a patreon of quite a few channels and K&G is by far the one that I get the most out of.
@SarxzcraftRblx1493
13:36 I can’t imagine that forced march on the legionaries…
@GustavoMaldonadoFidalgo
finally! I was waiting for a documentary about drusus
