A history documentary on the True Size of a Roman Legion. This is our first episode in the new True Size series which seeks to bring history to life in 3D using Unreal Engine 5. In this episode we cover the organization of a Roman Legion from the soldier to the Contubernium, the Century, the Cohort, and the Legion. Along the way we not only include the troops and their officers but all the slaves, mules, support, staff, and gear which accompanied them. This makes for a much better understanding of the Roman army structure.
We then put these into context by looking at a Roman army camp, a Roman army on the march, and a Roman army in battle order. This gives the viewer a full 3D history of a legion like never before.

And this kids, is how you conquer the world. Not with the sword..... but with logistics. I am still at awe at what they managed to pull off 2000 years ago.

I canāt even begin to imagine how insanely massive battles with 50k+ armies would look like on the battlefield. It would be incredible even today

It's not until you actually see the physical size that you realise how gigantic the legion was. Also telling and showing how long it would take for an entire legion to walk past you was the icing on the cake. It gives you a new perspective as we everyday deal with time and how long something could take.
This was awesome!

Really good to see the "Combat Service Support" aspect of a classical army considered.
So often overlooked in both modern and classical analysis of an army's structure and yet so critical to their success.

Iāve been wondering this exact thing. Iāll be staring at a big field at a park and just wonder how many legions would fit in it and how they would manage the terrain.

And don't forget that legions often had additional auxiliaries with them, such as archers, slinger, additional Cavallari etc. A legion or even an Roman army on campaign must have been massive. A truly fearful sight on any battlefield.

When you study the legions you cannot help but notice the massive logistics to move such a formation. A lesson still being fumbled recently.

Awesome video!
The true size of the battle of Ecnomus between Rome and Carthage would be incredible, being one of the largest naval battles in history.

Loving the use of Unreal Engine to make documentaries like this one, big props! There are still some improvements to be made but it's a great contribution to the video and I can see it becoming a key point in a any historical video!

The 3D styled art and models made for this video is just perfect.

This is a perfect example of why I LOVE this channel! You really delve into the more obscure things, things people may think about like āWhat would a legion look like in size comparisonā or āHow big an area would they need to build into a campā Its stuff you canāt really finf any other place other than Invicta!

The legionary size is something I've always been curious about. For something who is writing a fantasy nation based around these guys, this is incredibly helpful!

Now itās easier to understand why Augustus was so traumatized when he lost three veteran legions. Argghh! Varus! Give him back his legions!!!!

Thank you for making this video. I had always wondered how a legion was structured and was particularly interested in how they set up their officers and specialists. The romans are one of my favorite fighting forces of history. This was certainly an interesting video and brings more realism to the battles you read about from books, knowing how these legions were generally structured and who had what duties.

--> True Size of a Republican Legion: https://youtu.be/MVZZoGEVI58
Important corrections for this episode:
16:52 - The legion at parade rest should cover 0.25 km2 not 25 km2
21:50 - The battle formation should have Cohorts 2-10 with 6 centuries each rather than the 8 centuries shown
22:23 - The soldier spacing in battle should be closer to 1m center to center rather than the 1m edge to edge we showed which resulted in exaggerated gaps
22:48 - The resulting frontage of the battle line should be closer to 400m than the 600m stated
We apologize for these inaccuracies and will be tightening up our QA/QC process to improve the True Size episodes moving forwards.

Its genuinely amazing how we now have access to this level of information, presented perfectly with visuals to help us understand and be entertained - thanks to dedicated people like those who run this channel. Thank you very much!

Just thinking about Caesar moving through Gaul in full force is mind-boggling! The collumns of his legions stretching for kilometeres without an end!

The overall thoroughness is just wonderful. The graphic animation serves the audio perfectly. The simplicity of the animation as is, allows to keep focus easily. Thumbs up!

This was an amazing video and great detail, the modelling system implemented was a super nice touch! Really appreciate the time and detail put into this, I personally love the Roman Empire's History and this about the Legions was well done. I look forward to seeing more in the future!
