Ala (Roman allied military unit)
An Ala (Latin for "wing", plural form: alae) was the term used during the mid- Roman Republic (338-88 BC) to denote a military formation composed of conscripts from the socii, Rome's Italian military allies. A normal consular army during this period consisted of 2 legions, composed of Roman citizens only, and 2 allied alae. Alae were somewhat larger than normal legions (ca. 5,400 v. ca. 4,500 men). From the time of the first Roman emperor, Augustus (ruled 30 BC - AD 14), the term ala was used in the professional imperial army to denote a much smaller (ca. 500), purely cavalry unit of the non-citizen auxilia corps, see Ala (Roman cavalry unit).
Mid-Republic
When, at a later date, the Roman armies were composed partly of Roman citizens and partly of Socii (allies from the rest of the Italian mainland), either Latini or Italici, it became the practice to marshal the Roman troops in the centre of the battle line and the Socii upon the wings. Armies of the middle republic would consist of two legions of Roman citizens and two legions of "ala", with the ala supplying thirty turmae of cavalry per legion, whereas the Roman provided only ten turmae. Hence ala and alarii denoted the contingent furnished by the allies, both horse and foot, and the two divisions were distinguished as dextera ala (right wing) and sinistra ala (left wing) (Livy, xxvii.2 , Livy, xxv.21 , Livy xxxi.21 ; Lips. de Milit. Rom. ii. dial. 7. We find in Livy x.40 , the expression cum cohortibus alariis ("with wing cohorts"), and in x. 43 , D. Brutum Scaevam legatum cum legione prima et decem cohortibus alariis equitatuque ire...jussit ("He ordered Decius Brutus Scaeva, legate, with the first legion and ten wing cohorts and the cavalry, to go and oppose said detachment...")..

Military organization
Military organization or military organisation is the structuring of the armed forces of a state so as to offer military capability required by the national defense policy. In some countries paramilitary forces are included in a nation's armed forces, though not considered military. Armed forces that are not a part of military or paramilitary organizations, such as insurgent forces, often mimic military organizations, or use ad hoc structures.
Military organization is hierarchical. The use of formalized ranks in a hierarchical structure came into widespread use with the Roman Army. In modern times, executive control, management and administration of military organization is typically undertaken by the government through a government department within the structure of public administration, often known as a Ministry of Defense, Department of Defense, or Department of War. These in turn manage Armed Services that themselves command combat, combat support and service support formations and units.

Auxilia
The Auxilia (Latin, lit. "helps") constituted the standing non-citizen corps of the Imperial Roman army during the Principate era (30 BC–284 AD), alongside the citizen legions. By the 2nd century, the Auxilia contained the same number of infantry as the legions and in addition provided almost all of the Roman army's cavalry and more specialised troops (especially light cavalry and archers). The auxilia thus represented three-fifths of Rome's regular land forces at that time. Like their legionary counterparts, auxiliary recruits were mostly volunteers, not conscripts.
The Auxilia were mainly recruited from the peregrini, i.e. free provincial subjects of the Roman Empire who did not hold Roman citizenship and constituted the vast majority of the empire's population in the 1st and 2nd centuries (c. 90% in the early 1st century). The Auxilia also included some Roman citizens and probably barbarians (barbari, as the Romans called peoples located outside the Empire's borders). This was in contrast to the legions, which admitted Roman citizens only.

Aminolevulinic acid
δ-Aminolevulinic acid (dALA or δ-ALA or 5ala or 5-aminolevulinic acid ) is the first compound in the porphyrin synthesis pathway, the pathway that leads to heme in mammals and chlorophyll in plants.
In plants, production of δ-ALA is the step on which the speed of synthesis of chlorophyll is regulated. Plants that are fed by external δ-ALA accumulate toxic amounts of chlorophyll precursor, protochlorophyllide, indicating that the synthesis of this intermediate is not suppressed anywhere downwards in the chain of reaction. Protochlorophyllide is a strong photosensitizer in plants.
Biosynthesis
In non-photosynthetic eukaryotes such as animals, insects, fungi, and protozoa, as well as the Alphaproteobacteria class of bacteria, it is produced by the enzyme ALA synthase, from glycine and succinyl CoA. This reaction is known as the Shemin pathway, which occurs in mitochondria.
In plants, algae, bacteria (except for the α-proteobacteria group) and archaea, it is produced from glutamic acid via glutamyl-tRNA and glutamate-1-semialdehyde. The enzymes involved in this pathway are glutamyl-tRNA synthetase, glutamyl-tRNA reductase, and glutamate-1-semialdehyde 2,1-aminomutase. This pathway is known as the C5 or Beale pathway. In most plastid-containing species, glutamyl-tRNA is encoded by a plastid gene, and the transcription, as well as the following steps of C5 pathway, take place in plastids.

Roman mythology
Roman mythology is the body of traditional stories pertaining to ancient Rome's legendary origins and religious system, as represented in the literature and visual arts of the Romans. "Roman mythology" may also refer to the modern study of these representations, and to the subject matter as represented in the literature and art of other cultures in any period.
The Romans usually treated their traditional narratives as historical, even when these have miraculous or supernatural elements. The stories are often concerned with politics and morality, and how an individual's personal integrity relates to his or her responsibility to the community or Roman state. Heroism is an important theme. When the stories illuminate Roman religious practices, they are more concerned with ritual, augury, and institutions than with theology or cosmogony.
The study of Roman religion and myth is complicated by the early influence of Greek religion on the Italian peninsula during Rome's protohistory, and by the later artistic imitation of Greek literary models by Roman authors. In matters of theology, the Romans were curiously eager to identify their own gods with those of the Greeks (interpretatio graeca), and to reinterpret stories about Greek deities under the names of their Roman counterparts. Rome's early myths and legends also have a dynamic relationship with Etruscan religion, less documented than that of the Greeks.

Romanesque architecture
Romanesque architecture is an architectural style of medieval Europe characterized by semi-circular arches. There is no consensus for the beginning date of the Romanesque style, with proposals ranging from the 6th to the late 10th century, this later date being the most commonly held. It developed in the 12th century into the Gothic style, marked by pointed arches. Examples of Romanesque architecture can be found across the continent, making it the first pan-European architectural style since Imperial Roman Architecture. The Romanesque style in England is traditionally referred to as Norman architecture.
Combining features of ancient Roman and Byzantine buildings and other local traditions, Romanesque architecture is known by its massive quality, thick walls, round arches, sturdy pillars, groin vaults, large towers and decorative arcading. Each building has clearly defined forms, frequently of very regular, symmetrical plan; the overall appearance is one of simplicity when compared with the Gothic buildings that were to follow. The style can be identified right across Europe, despite regional characteristics and different materials.

Once mustered, these legions of the Republican Roman Army would march to war. Initially these outings only lasted a year and the army would be disbanded after each campaign. However as Rome expanded its ...

Although some of the changes were started to be implemented previously, it was the new brilliant general - Gaius Marius, who reformed the legions, changing almost all aspects of their fighting and paving the way to more conquests. Unfortunately, for the Republic, this military reform would have a long-standing effect on the political life and would make the likes of Sulla, Caesar, Pompey, and others very powe...

06. Transformation of the Roman Empire
The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210) The Roman Empire in the West collapsed as a political entity in the fifth century although the Eastern part survived the crisis.. Professor Freedman considers this transformation through three main questions: Why did the West fall apart -- because of the external pressure of invasions or the internal problems of institutional decline? Who were these invading barbarians? Finally, does this transformation mark a gradual shift or is it right to regard it as a cataclysmic end of civilization? Professor Freedman, as a moderate catastrophist, argues that this period marked the end of a particular civilization rather than the end of civilization in general. 00:00 - Chapter 1.

The documentary begins with the early history of Rome and the relatively low level of its scouting needs whilst in familiar territory. However we show that as it expanded across Italy and in particular abroad, it quickly realized that a more robust system of scouting had to be established. What emerged was the Procursatores, a close screen of cavalry who fanned out ahead of the legions of Rome. We discuss the role of these troops when it comes to patrolling, pathfinding, and foraging.
However these troops could not cover all the needs of the Roman Army. What soon developed was another group of further range scouts and disruptors known as the Exploratores. We cover how they were used to report on the enemy, locate Roman army camps, and perform operations behind enemy lines.
Stay tuned for our next episode where we will discuss the spies and Speculatores who further added to Rome's impressive intelligence network that helped the Roman Legions become so successful. What Units of History do you want to see covered next?

The next episodes in this series will see how the Romans dealt with Carthage and the famous Macedonian Phalanx.

A military history documentary on the birth and death of a roman legion in the era of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. We begin the episode by taking a look at Rome's earliest legions which came in the form of levies. These would have been called up in a process led by the consuls whereby able bodied men were assigned a legion and then a unit role within the formation based on their wealth and age class. Once mustered, these legions of the Republican Roman Army would march to war. Initially these outings only lasted a year and the army would be disbanded after each campaign. However as Rome expanded its military campaigns this system began to change.
By the 2nd Century BC, Roman soldiers were serving abroad with their legion for several years and commanders could sometimes expect to have their terms of command extended. In addition, both the number of legions in the Roman Army and those who could command them was increased. The method of recruitment also changed as can be seen with the Marian Reforms. Thus by the end of the Roman Republic, the army was already headed away from a mere annual levy and towards a semi-professional force.
Following the civil wars, Augustus reformed the Roman Army to include a draw down of forces from 60 to just 28 legions. These now became professional, salaried, volunteer troops who served 15 years until receiving their pension upon retirement. The organization of the legions also changed slightly to be more consistently made up of 10 cohorts. This new army of the Roman Empire was born at the whim of the Emperors who held ultimate control over military forces. Recruitment was undertaken by officers in designated areas with recruits being put to the test, made to take an oath, and being sent to join their unit. Once formed, these roman legions could last centuries.
The way they died is the subject of the last part of our video. This generally involves death in battle, attrition, merging, and disbandment. We also include some practical examples of these from the service history of various legions.

This Units of History episode turns our attention to the evolution of super-heavy cavalry units which would eventually give birth to the Medieval knight. However their development throughout antiquity would take place across many centuries and many civilizations. Multiple episodes will be required to discuss each of these. For now, we deal specifically with the Roman Army Cataphracts of the 1st to 5th century AD.

By the end of the II century BC, Rome became the dominant state in the Mediterranean, defeating Carthage, Macedon and the Seleucids, yet the internal problems and the arrival of the Germanic Cimbri showed that the victorious Roman legions are in need of a reform. Although some of the changes were started to be implemented previously, it was the new brilliant general - Gaius Marius, who reformed the legions, changing almost all aspects of their fighting and paving the way to more conquests. Unfortunately, for the Republic, this military reform would have a long-standing effect on the political life and would make the likes of Sulla, Caesar, Pompey, and others very powerful

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210)
The Roman Empire in the West collapsed as a political entity in the fifth century although the Eastern part survived the crisis.. Professor Freedman considers this transformation through three main questions: Why did the West fall apart -- because of the external pressure of invasions or the internal problems of institutional decline? Who were these invading barbarians? Finally, does this transformation mark a gradual shift or is it right to regard it as a cataclysmic end of civilization? Professor Freedman, as a moderate catastrophist, argues that this period marked the end of a particular civilization rather than the end of civilization in general.

In 451 AD, two of the most powerful empires of the time, the Roman Empire and the Huns, faced off in one of the most significant battles in history: The Battle of Catalaunian Plains. This battle marked the beginning of the fall of Attila the Hun, one of history's most fearsome and ruthless conquerors.
The Western Roman Empire faced a formidable foe in the form of Attila the Hun, one of the most feared and brutal conquerors in history. Attila had already ravaged much of Europe with his unstoppable horde of warriors, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The Roman Empire, which had once been a dominant force, was struggling to maintain its grip on its territories, weakened by political instability and internal divisions.
The Battle of Catalaunian Plains was the result of a series of events that led to a clash between two of the most powerful empires of the time. Attila had invaded the Roman province of Gaul and was threatening to advance further into the heart of the empire. The Roman general Flavius Aetius knew that he had to stop Attila before he could do any more damage, and he rallied his troops for battle.
The two armies met on the plains of Gaul, near the modern-day city of Châlons-en-Champagne, in what would become one of the bloodiest battles in history. The fighting was intense, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Roman army was made up of a diverse group of soldiers, including Visigoths, Alans, Franks, Burgundians and Saxons, who fought alongside the Roman legions. The Huns, on the other hand, were a homogeneous force, united by their loyalty to Attila.
Despite the odds against them, the Romans managed to hold their ground and repel the Hunnic forces. The battle was a turning point in the war, and it marked the beginning of the end for Attila and his empire. Although Attila would continue to launch raids and conquests, he was never able to regain the momentum he had before the Battle of Catalaunian Plains.
Our documentary delves into the events leading up to the battle and the tactics used by both sides. We bring this pivotal moment in history to life. Join us on this journey as we explore the fall of Attila the Hun and the Battle of Catalaunian Plains, a conflict that changed the course of European history forever.

The Roman legionary, one of the most recognisable soldiers in all of military history. These soldiers served in the Roman army all over the empire. But next to the legionary, there was another type of soldier, one hardly known to the broader public. This type of soldier at some point even outnumbered the legionaries!
Who were these unknown warriors? In this video we will take an in depth look at equipment, training and status of these soldiers in the Roman empire.

We continue to look at the most famous units of history from across ancient history. While previous episodes have focused on the combat roles of units like the Spartan Royal Guard or the Immortals, in this episode we look at the critical role a unit could play in the intelligence game.
The documentary begins with the early history of Rome and the relatively low level of its scouting needs whilst in familiar territory. However we show that as it expanded across Italy and in particular abroad, it quickly realized that a more robust system of scouting had to be established. What emerged was the Procursatores, a close screen of cavalry who fanned out ahead of the legions of Rome. We discuss the role of these troops when it comes to patrolling, pathfinding, and foraging.
However these troops could not cover all the needs of the Roman Army. What soon developed was another group of further range scouts and disruptors known as the Exploratores. We cover how they were used to report on the enemy, locate Roman army camps, and perform operations behind enemy lines.
Stay tuned for our next episode where we will discuss the spies and Speculatores who further added to Rome's impressive intelligence network that helped the Roman Legions become so successful. What Units of History do you want to see covered next?

Our animated historical documentary series on the evolution of Roman armies and tactics continues with a video on the Roman cavalry forces of the Imperial period. As the Roman empire started facing cavalry heavy Germanic, Nomadic and Iranian armies, it became clear that the lack of elite cavalry makes it suspect to defeats, so the emperors started reforming the cavalry units.

A military history documentary on the birth and death of a roman legion in the era of the Roman Republic and the Roman Empire. We begin the episode by taking a look at Rome's earliest legions which came in the form of levies. These would have been called up in a process led by the consuls whereby able bodied men were assigned a legion and then a unit role within the formation based on their wealth and age class. Once mustered, these legions of the Republican Roman Army would march to war. Initially these outings only lasted a year and the army would be disbanded after each campaign. However as Rome expanded its military campaigns this system began to change.
By the 2nd Century BC, Roman soldiers were serving abroad with their legion for several years and commanders could sometimes expect to have their terms of command extended. In addition, both the number of legions in the Roman Army and those who could command them was increased. The method of recruitment also changed as can be seen with the Marian Reforms. Thus by the end of the Roman Republic, the army was already headed away from a mere annual levy and towards a semi-professional force.
Following the civil wars, Augustus reformed the Roman Army to include a draw down of forces from 60 to just 28 legions. These now became professional, salaried, volunteer troops who served 15 years until receiving their pension upon retirement. The organization of the legions also changed slightly to be more consistently made up of 10 cohorts. This new army of the Roman Empire was born at the whim of the Emperors who held ultimate control over military forces. Recruitment was undertaken by officers in designated areas with recruits being put to the test, made to take an oath, and being sent to join their unit. Once formed, these roman legions could last centuries.
The way they died is the subject of the last part of our video. This generally involves death in battle, attrition, merging, and disbandment. We also include some practical examples of these from the service history of various legions.

This Units of History episode turns our attention to the evolution of super-heavy cavalry units which would eventually give birth to the Medieval knight. However their development throughout antiquity would take place across many centuries and many civilizations. Multiple episodes will be required to discuss each of these. For now, we deal specifically with the Roman Army Cataphracts of the 1st to 5th century AD.
What other Units of History should we cover next?

By the end of the II century BC, Rome became the dominant state in the Mediterranean, defeating Carthage, Macedon and the Seleucids, yet the internal problems and the arrival of the Germanic Cimbri showed that the victorious Roman legions are in need of a reform. Although some of the changes were started to be implemented previously, it was the new brilliant general - Gaius Marius, who reformed the legions, changing almost all aspects of their fighting and paving the way to more conquests. Unfortunately, for the Republic, this military reform would have a long-standing effect on the political life and would make the likes of Sulla, Caesar, Pompey, and others very powerful

The Early Middle Ages, 284--1000 (HIST 210)
The Roman Empire in the West collapsed as a political entity in the fifth century although the Eastern part survived the crisis.. Professor Freedman considers this transformation through three main questions: Why did the West fall apart -- because of the external pressure of invasions or the internal problems of institutional decline? Who were these invading barbarians? Finally, does this transformation mark a gradual shift or is it right to regard it as a cataclysmic end of civilization? Professor Freedman, as a moderate catastrophist, argues that this period marked the end of a particular civilization rather than the end of civilization in general.

In 451 AD, two of the most powerful empires of the time, the Roman Empire and the Huns, faced off in one of the most significant battles in history: The Battle of Catalaunian Plains. This battle marked the beginning of the fall of Attila the Hun, one of history's most fearsome and ruthless conquerors.
The Western Roman Empire faced a formidable foe in the form of Attila the Hun, one of the most feared and brutal conquerors in history. Attila had already ravaged much of Europe with his unstoppable horde of warriors, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The Roman Empire, which had once been a dominant force, was struggling to maintain its grip on its territories, weakened by political instability and internal divisions.
The Battle of Catalaunian Plains was the result of a series of events that led to a clash between two of the most powerful empires of the time. Attila had invaded the Roman province of Gaul and was threatening to advance further into the heart of the empire. The Roman general Flavius Aetius knew that he had to stop Attila before he could do any more damage, and he rallied his troops for battle.
The two armies met on the plains of Gaul, near the modern-day city of Châlons-en-Champagne, in what would become one of the bloodiest battles in history. The fighting was intense, with both sides suffering heavy losses. The Roman army was made up of a diverse group of soldiers, including Visigoths, Alans, Franks, Burgundians and Saxons, who fought alongside the Roman legions. The Huns, on the other hand, were a homogeneous force, united by their loyalty to Attila.
Despite the odds against them, the Romans managed to hold their ground and repel the Hunnic forces. The battle was a turning point in the war, and it marked the beginning of the end for Attila and his empire. Although Attila would continue to launch raids and conquests, he was never able to regain the momentum he had before the Battle of Catalaunian Plains.
Our documentary delves into the events leading up to the battle and the tactics used by both sides. We bring this pivotal moment in history to life. Join us on this journey as we explore the fall of Attila the Hun and the Battle of Catalaunian Plains, a conflict that changed the course of European history forever.

Ala (Roman allied military unit)
An Ala (Latin for "wing", plural form: alae) was the term used during the mid- Roman Republic (338-88 BC) to denote a military formation composed of conscripts from the socii, Rome's Italian military allies. A normal consular army during this period consisted of 2 legions, composed of Roman citizens only, and 2 allied alae. Alae were somewhat larger than normal legions (ca. 5,400 v. ca. 4,500 men). From the time of the first Roman emperor, Augustus (ruled 30 BC - AD 14), the term ala was used in the professional imperial army to denote a much smaller (ca. 500), purely cavalry unit of the non-citizen auxilia corps, see Ala (Roman cavalry unit).
Mid-Republic
When, at a later date, the Roman armies were composed partly of Roman citizens and partly of Socii (allies from the rest of the Italian mainland), either Latini or Italici, it became the practice to marshal the Roman troops in the centre of the battle line and the Socii upon the wings. Armies of the middle republic would consist of two legions of Roman citizens and two legions of "ala", with the ala supplying thirty turmae of cavalry per legion, whereas the Roman provided only ten turmae. Hence ala and alarii denoted the contingent furnished by the allies, both horse and foot, and the two divisions were distinguished as dextera ala (right wing) and sinistra ala (left wing) (Livy, xxvii.2 , Livy, xxv.21 , Livy xxxi.21 ; Lips. de Milit. Rom. ii. dial. 7. We find in Livy x.40 , the expression cum cohortibus alariis ("with wing cohorts"), and in x. 43 , D. Brutum Scaevam legatum cum legione prima et decem cohortibus alariis equitatuque ire...jussit ("He ordered Decius Brutus Scaeva, legate, with the first legion and ten wing cohorts and the cavalry, to go and oppose said detachment...")..
