As you said in the later video, much of it it's legend, not history, though not because the sack of Rome (archaeology says there was no sign of destruction of the city in that years) but for the augustean propaganda. Camillus, if truly existed, play no part in this event. Aristotle said that "a certain Lucius" saved Rome, probably carrying the idols to Caere (as Lucius Albinius tradition recorded) and the Brennus' senones were probably defeated by the Caere soldiers, according to Diodorus and Strabo. Indeed, the sack of Rome were a consequence of the her alliance with Caere, who Dionysus want to punish.

Wait I don't think thats right that he didn't set foot in cathage for his entire adult life, he goes back to Africa with Zama and id imagine he stopped by cathage during that, and doesn't he stay in Carthage for a second after the war but before hes forced to leave for the Seleucids?

So there was still Tartessian Warriors in Ancient Iberia during the second Punic war? (Minute 4:50)?

This is so amazing. I was looking for a Total War RotR backgrounder.

26:30, not to be entierly unfaire with Hamilcar, when he showed linience the rebels answered with massacres. So he just though that if he let them go they would reorganised and kill more of his people.

Rome: ah thank you Syracus for your precious help, we would have never won this without you. Syracus: don’t mention it, we’ll always have each other back from now on. Right? Rome:… Syracus: why are you looking at me wierdly?

This battle really demonstrates why Rome was abble to so ‘easily’ defeat Carthage on their own term. They saw a problem and immediatly though of a counter measures. Meanwhile the Carthaginians saw a problem and just staired at it, because the corvus wasn’t that hard to counter.

That has always been the strength of Rome. The ability to learn from their defeats and commit to never ending wars that the other side cannot keep up with

Surprisingly, the despotate of Epirus, which lasted from 1204 AD to 1479 AD, was the last bastion of Roman civilization.

BCE 🤮 (Other than that splendid video).

Great videos. Keep them up!

Pyyrhus seems extremely overrated in his generalship.

Can you please make Roman allies a slightly different red? Just so we know who is actually Roman, and who is an ally. And what is the difference between the actual Romans and their allies of the same colour?

I suggest maybe colouring roman allies a slightly different red, so we know who is an actual roman, vs ally

4:46 😂

It’s interesting that as the privileges of the Patricians were worn away and Plebians gained equivalent political rights, the structure of Roman voting which heavily favored Patricians and wealthy families remained durable until the Roman Emperors gradually phased out the democratic institutions and hastened the demise of the Patrician families.

1:02 One thing I love about Roman history is how slow it creeps onto the world stage. It's so slow that outside observers probably wouldn't see its conquests as all that significant until it was too late.

Will you go all the way to the fall of Constantinople in 1453? If you do, I’m becoming a paid subscriber or patreon or whatever

Are you going to cover Rome after the Punic and Greco-Roman wars? Like the Mithridatic, Social War, Gallic Wars, up to the Fall of Rome in 476, or something else?

Why was Titus Manlius executed? What order did he disobey? did leaving for the duel constitute “leaving his post?”

Interbellum is often overshadowed by the first/second Punic war. It's fascinating how Carthage nearly collapsed, but immediately recovered to become the strongest power in its history.

I think Hannibal serving as the warhawk of Hasdrubal would have been much more successful. It would have given Rome someone they can do business with, who would have used the implicit threat of letting his nephew in law off the leash as real leverage in Spain. Hannibal was a tactical genius but wasn't as keen or patient with strategy. The fact that Hasdrubal was able to negotiate with Rome pretty much independent of Carthage tells me all I need to know about his political acumen/savvy and leadership. I think he and his father in law both understood the Roman zeitgeist better than Hannibal.

Mouth of the baetis and valencia lagoon had looked differently on the map back then

First we had "the triumph was the greatest military honour a German general-" and now we have "the Roman envoys came to space", I need more bloopers to round off videos.

Is this a reupload?

The "weee" at the start that cartaginian flew straight across the sea 🤣

7:04 The angry horses are clearly the most valuable assets sent back to Carthage. :D

the most famous carthegian spent like 4 days in the city

Why is the entire map white in this vid? is it a bug?

Carthage was not a democracy it was an oligarchy.

Nothing like talking about war over the moonlight sonata! Classical music for the classical era?

Whoop

I subscribed instantly upon hearing the "WEEEE!" At the start. I'm a simple person, I hear funny sound effect I like and subscribe

Thanks so much for the great content. ❤❤❤

11:30 Turdetani 17:35 Carpetani nice antique names.

why did i think the title said india and was confused until i was 6 minutes into the video

I absolutely love this channel and watch every video.

another fire video, just joined your patreon

In 5:31 you're saying "Rio tinto river" that means "river tinto river", you are repeating the word "river" twice.

Rapid fire adorable history. I am a fleet at sea being hit by so many adorable storms

What city is Bari now?

Just to say the before and after in the thumbnail for the video is pretty much the same. Only difference i can see is a tag for Saguntum otherwise enjoyed the vid! I'm looking forward to these continuing!

The legacy of the roman empire wil never be forgotten 🇬🇷🇮🇹🫡

4:05 "104" in italy is the law of the disabled people lmao

in the future when the 2nd Punic war is over, I hope you talk about the Gracchi Brothers. They are an often underlooked aspect on the downfall of the Roman Republic.

"The Roman Empire came to space." Has this been a 40K lore channel this whole time?

Romans in space? In what world would the Romans expand their sphere of influence in space? I wanted to say some interesting facts I got from a very reliable source, or should I say…an -Oversimplified- source? But Romans in space? When were rockets invented again?

Those darn Romans and their space rockets

Guys, I swear to god, I'm not usually this juvenile, but the Turd-etani will never not be funny to me.
