Impeccable and impressive. If I may share something personal with you, in the hopes you can emphasize with me.
I was born in 85'. I grew up in the 90s watching history Channel when it was simply and purely about history documentaries and seminars. Like a lot of kids back then, that channel influenced my current enthusiasm for history.
Well, we all know what happened to cable channels and I have to say, you are a blessing to enthusiasts like myself. You have filled a gap in my life left by old media's inability to remain true and better yet, you produce better work, with more love and accuracy than I experienced back then.
Thank you Kings and Generals. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

It is just truly astounding how the Romans could find new ways of adapting to challenging situations over the course of 2200 years. Sure, their civilization and the state itself changed heavily after thousands of years, but a distinct, tangible Roman state existed and transferred successfully from one part of the Mediterranean to another and lasted until the invention of gun powder.

The Byzantine Army adopted the composite bow-equipped mounted archers in their force structure. Byzantine sources mention the dexterity of the Seljuk Turks with composite bows. In the eleventh century, the Seljuks overran most of Anatolia, which the Byzantines had been able to defend against the Arabs from the seventh century onwards. Procopius refers to the presence of mounted archers in Belisarius's force, which enabled the Byzantine Army to overcome the Ostrogoths in Italy. In the war against the Vandals, Belisarius used auxiliary Hunnic horse archers against Vandal lancers. From the sixth century onwardsthe Romans used composite Hunnic bows. These bows were made of wood with sinew and horn glued together. The maximum range of such a bow was 300 metres and the effective range against an armoured target was 100 metres. Crossbowmen became common in the Byzantine Army only during the Crusades under Frankish influence.
