You’ll also get 25% off if you want the full membership. In this history documentary we seek to question the common depiction of Roman soldiers wearing red. This version of the legions is present virtually everywhere in media from movies like Gladiator and the Eagle to TV Shows like HBO Rome and Spartacus, games like Rome Total War and Assassin's Creed Origins, comics, reenactments, and more. Its really everywhere to the point that Romans in red just seems like a well established fact. However its often a good idea to question things like this that we take for granted. This documentary episode therefore asks whether or not the Romans really wore red. To begin the video we start with a look at our remaining historical sources in the form of artistic and written record
