Elephants were mascots & psychological instruments for intimidation for the Carthaginians.

They beat Hannibal with Hannibal strategy lol

Amazing video thank you, can’t believe it’s taken this long to find your channel, liked and subbed my bro keep it going

@6kcpRNzXTDNtcPQ Umm i don't know where your comments disappeared? But i was about to respond I disagree. Both Napoleon and Hannibal ultimately suffered their definite defeats because of deceptions and routs. Their respectable ends are actually quite poetic. 1. Mistakes were made before both battles 2. Both faced their arch nemesis they'd never faced before, whom knew and had studied their tactics 3. Both were betrayed before and during the battle 4. Both would've won if not for enemy reinforcements The poorly trained elephants bit can be argued, I guess, but evidence of the battle and general knowledge of this time period points to them being heavily untrained for war at this time. The inferior troops is not a lie. There's a reason Hannibal kept his best troops in the rear and his most fragile troops in the front. They were new troops, mercenaries, foreigners, and Hannibal had had basically no time to train them. 10-15.000 numerical advantage in infantry means nothing if they are up against well drilled and experienced forces. That is a historical fact. And Hannibal's placement of his troops support this. He was no fool. And the decision to prolong the veterans engagement was a calculated risk Hannibal knew he had to take. It was high risk high reward. He knew the cavarly at some point would return, it was inevitable, but it routed earlier than it was supposed to. And yes there's no definite proof the Roman centre was yet at that point crumbling when the cavarly returned, but, it's safe to assume that Hannibal's tactic of tiring the Roman legions first before maneuvering into a wider front with his elite troops to smash the Roman centre while threateaning encirclement... wouldn't have been far away. Again, from what i'e studied, it seems to me that Hannibal did everything possible to win. Just wasn't to be.

Cute sense of humor throughout.

This guy needs to work on his English. He has a bit of an accent and it's hard to understand him. It's good he speaks English, don't get me wrong, but he needs to work on speaking it more clearly.

I do oftentimes wonder about the supposed 4000 Macedonian phalangists that Philip V sent to Hannibal. I also wonder if Hannibal considered using them in his rear line, about facing for the impending cavalry return. Perhaps thinning their line to 4 men deep, thus widening their formation to cover most of Hannibal's veterans. Acting as the rear guard, protecting Hannibal's veteran 3rd line as they were engaged and apparently besting the combined lines of the Scipio's romans. Could have possibly worked, having cavalry unexpectedly charging into sarissas. It doesn't sound that alien to me if Hannibal did consider that... He's come up with far more outrageous (and very successful) tactics.

Thanks. Great video. The population of Veii seems high. 400000?

Can you do the Battle of Soissons 486

Amazing production value Para Bellum, I just came across your channel recently. Just out of curiosity was the comic book style artwork drawn by yourself/your team because its an excellent for story telling and visualization of the context/ information presented. The style also adds your own personal flavour to your work compared to other channels. The battle presentations are very good too with your own personal style, I especially enjoy the predicted battle intent/plan of each commander before the start of the battle. Although I was wondering does each unit (dot/square) represent a certain number value of troops. Im too used to standard nato symbols for military units, so I wasnt too familar with each unit at a glance (apart from the cavalry tile with the horse symbol on it) until it was explained. Different shades of colours and shapes is a good touch to differentiate different unit types and the infantry is easy to distiguish. Although I do prefer a pictured tile for more specialized units like cavalry, elephants, camels, chariots, artillery etc, but thats just my own personal preference and I dont want to cramp your own style. Your narration was good and easy to follow too, so just focus on the main content first and if you get a higher budget and sponsers later you can hire a narrator. Great Job!

A Serb deciphered the Etruscan script. The names of Etruscan settlements, such as Polatera, Sena, Bada, Rusele, Aretium, Volsini, Volci (vuci - wolf), Kosa, Svana (Sovana), Bieda, Cera (Kera)... It is easy to transcribe them into Serbian without editing. Svetislav Bilbija deciphered the Etruscan script using the Serbian Cyrillic script. When he saw the Etruscan works in the museum, he could immediately understand what was written. The Romans and Latins inherited the complete culture, religion and skill of inherit from the Etruscans. The Etruscan art of divination based on the observation of animal livers was called Haruspicium(hara) from the word Hara or Žgara, which is the Serbian word for entrails, another name was DISCIPLINE ETRUSKA. the question arises why the Romans called the Rasenes (Rascia, part of Serbia, there is a town of Raska) Etruscans, because we know that the Rasenes called themselves Rasenes. the liver(JETRA Serbian )was also observed for daily needs, looking at the liver of small animals (chickens), I believe that the cosmos is reflected in the liver, then alive is the old Serbian diminutive (jETRUSKA) from which ETRUSKA comes later. jETRA - jETRUSKA - ETRUSKA Another proof is the footwear, thay wear opanka (opanke, Serbian footwear) on their footwear, sculptures and frescoes. Etruscan work was placed on the she-wolf being sucked by the twins later in the Renaissance, through it we approach the oldest cults of Rasena, where the wolf represents the first Etruscan. maybe now it's time to adopt: man is a wolf to man. the wolf is the progenitor of the tribe, so it originally had a completely different meaning, a kind of cult password.

Hello! What songs did you use for this video? Awesome content btw

Right. But everybody likes to point out the chaos of the elephants as the decisive factor for Hannibal defeat. It was in fact only contributed lightly to the affair. Hannibal, the greatest general, knew ahead it will be a defeat. He had to manage the battle with 2 hands tied behind his back. (not to mention his one eye...). His infantry was not well prepared, recent recruits with no training, who did not know one another, not even speaking the same language; his cavalry was much inferior to the Mesinisa's superior Numidian cavalry, and his elephants were not really war elephants. The fight was doomed, Hannibal was betrayed by his own people, but for me he will always be the best General! (one minute comment: for the pronunciation, try to use the (real) original names, as for Scipio, it is as Skipio (in Latin), and Carthage is as Cartage, or Cartago (sounds Kartago), as in its Latin name. Of course their “punic” (Phoenician) real name is much different... and yes, this includes the name og the greatest Hannibal...)

The Roman’s lost more in a battle during the Cimbrian wars

Russians claim that Etruscans are slavic.

Hannibal the greatest general ever

WHAT DOES THIS BATTLE TEACH US MILITARY GUYS!

The fact that Hannibal "lost" this battle and then is elected chief Sophet of Carthage the very next year is not indicative he lost. Suggesting he either drew this battle to a standstill or it never actually took place at all. Even if Hannibal wins this battle, Carthage still loses and sues for peace. They lost all their Iberian and African territories. They just simply could not go on fighting this war. "At Cannae discipline was absolute, and Hannibal’s forces moved with clockwork precision, leaving nothing to chance. After the Carthaginian heavy horse under Hasdrubal defeated the Roman equites on the right wing of the Roman formation, they did not give in to the temptation of pursuing the survivors, a remarkable display of discipline. Instead they wheeled to the right like a well-oiled machine, swiftly riding behind the mile-long battlefield to fall upon the flank and rear of the large contingent of allied Italian cavalry under Varro, which was being kept in place by the hit and run tactics of the agile and versatile Numidian riders. When the allied cavalry panicked and broke, it was only the fast Numidian horsemen who undertook the pursuit, while Hasdrubal’s heavy horse, again with perfect discipline, wheeled once more to the right and fell upon the rear of the Roman army already engaged with the Carthaginian center and in the process of being enveloped by Hannibal’s elite Lybian forces closing in from the sides. Hasdrubal’s preordained cavalry manoeuvre blocked the possibility of any retreat and doomed the legions under Servilius and Minucius to their fate. Compare the above display of equestrian manoeuvrability and discipline with the cavalry engagement at Zama, where Hannibal was outnumbered by 6,000 to 4,000 in horsemen. It is clear that Hannibal instructed his smaller Numidian and Carthaginian cavalry to feign a retreat when the Roman horse attacked at the beginning of the battle, and, pretending to escape, draw away from the battlefield the pursuing Numidian horse from the right Roman flank, under the command of Massinissa, as well as the Roman equites under Laelius from the opposite wing. This they accomplished with perfection, removing the superior cavalry forces from the battlefield. Hannibal, and not Scipio, controlled this development. With respect to the infantry engagement, only Hannibal’s third line, which he held as a reserve far behind the others, was composed of seasoned veterans and elite forces from his Italian campaign. Naturally, most of them were not among the men who had crossed the Alps with him in 218 BCE, but they were experienced soldiers, including many from Bruttium, who were determined to shake the Roman yoke. His first two lines, on the other hand, were of questionable quality, and Hannibal probably expected them to cave in under the onslaught of the veteran Roman legionnaires, although not without first taking their toll from them, both in terms of casualties and fatigue. He wanted to insure that not only the Roman first line-the hastati-but also the second and third lines-the principes and the triari-would come into the fray and gradually wear themselves out. Once Hannibal’s first line broke, the retreating soldiers were not permitted to reintegrate themselves at random points in the next line, but were forced to move to the sides, extending the Carthaginian front. Knowing Hannibal’s habit of meticulous planning, it is likely that this repositioning was intentional and decided well before the start of the battle. The same thing happened after the second line broke, and then the Romans were left facing the fresh and rested elite veterans of Hannibal’s army, plus a vastly wider enemy line, threatening to engulf them from the flanks. At that point in the fray, Scipio must have realized that his situation was becoming desperate, for he was in danger of being enveloped from the sides, and was facing an irresistible barrier of rested veterans ready to crush his tired soldiers in the center. We are told that he ordered the Roman advance stopped and repositioned the principes and the triari to the sides of his formation, extending his front to match the width of the Carthaginian line, hoping to avoid encirclement. From the Roman account we get the impression that the Carthaginians remained idle during this redeployment, patiently waiting without attacking until Scipio was done with his preparations, which is patently absurd. We are asked to believe that the most brilliant tactician in history not only was waging a most unimaginative battle but actually wasted time when he would have known full well that time was of the essence and that he had to complete the defeat of the enemy infantry before the absent Roman cavalry could return to the battlefield. It is likely that, if the battle was unfolding as described, at this point Hannibal’s rested veterans would have attacked the Romans without giving them the opportunity to redeploy. At the very least Hannibal would have used the momentary lull in the fighting to reorganize his own forces, most likely by displacing his veterans to the sides, to face the triari and the principes, while the survivors of his first two lines got ready to deal with the exhausted hastati in the center-it is not credible that he would have remained idle. As for Scipio, there was nothing more he could have done at this point, and we are told that the battle resumed with increased ferocity. In view of the rested condition and the quality of Hannibal’s elite veterans, it is very likely that they were in the process of routing the principes and triari while the center held, and certain defeat looked Scipio in the face. What saved the day for Scipio, if we believe the classical accounts, was the fortuitous return in the nick of time of the horsemen under Massinissa and Laelius, who had been tricked away from the battlefield for what must have been hours, and who fell upon the Carthaginian rear. If this is what happened, we must conclude that ultimately it was Massinissa’s betrayal of Hannibal and his fortunate (for the Romans) return to the field, rather than the generalship of Scipio, that decided the outcome of the battle. Had Massinissa and Laelius’s return been delayed for another half hour, Hannibal would almost certainly have prevailed. Even at this point, the Carthaginians were not completely encircled, as the Romans had been at Cannae. According to Polybius, the Carthaginian casualties numbered 20,000, an outcome hardly comparable with the 70,000 fallen at Cannae. Scipio, undoubtedly aware of how close he had been to defeat, had he not been saved at the last moment by Massinissa, later acknowledged that Hannibal had done at Zama everything anyone could have done (Livy 30 : 35, 5-8). The illusion that at Zama the student had matched and outdone the teacher, part of the Scipio myth propagated by Roman historiography, does not fit what supposedly took place in the last battle of the Second Punic War. The classical accounts of the battle of Zama, as we have seen, are strangely inconsistent and contradictory. The course of the struggle is unimaginative to the point of being suspect as the alleged outcome of a first-rate military mind such as Hannibal’s and even Scipio’s. It reads more like the invention of a writer lacking the vision of a great general. The matter of the fictional elephants further reduces credibility. But these are not the only problems with the battle of Zama." thehistoryherald.com/articles/ancient-history-civilisation/hannibal-and-the-punic-wars/the-trouble-with-zama-paradox-smoke-and-mirrors-in-an-ancient-battlefield/2/

Why have you used an image of the Sassanian king Shahpur for Shypax? 😂

nice one, keep it up

As a general fan of history, thrace, snd Macedonia thst close should have been peacefully resolved. Also, 😢 Survivor of cannae sounds like a privilege and an honor

Hannibal once said he wouldve gone down as the greatest general of all time if not for zama.

Damnnn, the Romans pulled a Cannae at Hannibal

What a good channel, sadly it didnt get its popularity in time, i guess owner of this got demoralized and stopped. The battle itself was so painful to watch, such a advantage lost because of such a stupid choices

What is title of the music during battle?

Why is the script shown sideways? Example @ 7:19 of this video BTW Good job

Well done! That was interesting and fun to watch

The one thing nobody talks about is Hannibals army cleaning up the battlefield with massive fire cairns. It took days to do this and this is one reason Hannibal didn't match immediately on Rome.

What kind of English is this?

I had an Etruscan girlfriend once.

Hannibal's lack of synergy, coesiveness, and understanding the disposition of his very own army reminds me of an excerpt from The Art of War. _“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”_

Scipio just copied Hannibal's moves and tactic's, very smart general

Mon père il est toscan egale étrusque

Is your accent Etruscan?😂

Skip-io not sip-io. The C is pronounced as a hard C, like can or Corinth.

This is by far the best Battle of Cannae video out there. Congrats :)

As a lover of all things Etruscan and as someone who tries to find everything on Etruscan culture and language, I can say this video is very good.
