The Great Illyrian Revolt - Rome's Forgotten War DOCUMENTARY

#history #rome #IllyrianRevolt #Rome's Forgotten War
In this documentary we explore one of the unsung wars of Roman history which gets lost in the shadows of more famed conflicts like the Punic Wars, the Gallic Wars, the Civil Wars, the Parthian Wars, and more. Yet the Great Illyrian Uprising should not be forgotten as it was an extremely consequential event of the era. The war featured nearly 1 million rebels, saw the deployment of more legions than anytime since the civil wars, threatened Rome itself, and ultimately sowed the seeds for the disastrous Ambush of the Teutoburg Forest at the hands of the traitor Arminius.
