Summary

Jasper and Murray are joined by Julien Blurel, the brains behind the Invicta YouTube channel.

In the latest episode, Invicta demonstrates the true size of a Roman legion. This is the first of their new 'true size' series, which aims to bring history to life in 3D using the Unreal Engine.

True Size of the Roman Legion really puts into context the Roman army camp, the Legion on the march and the Roman army order of battle.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to another ancient warfare magazine podcast. We are on number I don't know how many, but that's all right.
0:13.0	Angus is now looking it up. 225. 25. I'm not sure that's useful for anything today.
0:22.2	The historian does some maths.
0:23.8	Yes, well, that comes in handy because we'll be talking sort of math-like things today.

0:54.0	creator where I went by the handle.
0:55.7	I think it was Oakley Hidef. Some people may go way back. We'll see.
1:00.1	And it's a very impressive number. And we wish we had that many subscribers or people who bought ancient warfare magazine.
1:06.4	But we're working on that too a bit more slowly. That's all right. The reason he's here is that he is starting a new series called True Size.
1:16.8	And I thought that would be very interesting to talk about because Murray probably remembers this.
1:24.8	We discussed just before COVID or just from COVID had started, Paul McDonald's staff
1:29.9	passed away.
1:30.7	It was a long time contributor to ancient warfare magazine.
1:33.6	And the very first time he contacted me was to say that the map, and I think it was
1:39.7	an ancient warfare one three, was incorrect because it didn't reflect the size of the units correctly.
1:49.3	And, you know, when you just started a magazine, that kind of trauma sticks with you.
1:55.0	How big is a unit?
