The Battle of Zama was fought in 202 BC near Zama, now in Tunisia, and marked the end of the Second Punic War. A Roman army led by Publius Cornelius Scipio, with crucial support from Numidian leader Masinissa, defeated the Carthaginian army led by Hannibal. This is the final battle in the second Punic war series, hope you enjoyed it. Channel memberships for additional content = ruclips.net/channel/UCw5kGfjKH3TEiCRqZUnUUPAjoin
Thanks for the video. Almost ironic in a way how the same Numidian cavalry that Hannibal used so well for so long would play such a large role in his final battle and defeat as an enemy.
Danke es ist wieder ein tolles Video vom historischem Kampf mit Hannibal Ein Dank dem Produktionsteams die es so gut dargestellt haben . der Kampf mit den Kriegselefanten entspricht ja vollkommen der Historie. Mein Respekt für euer fantastische Darstellung🙋♀️😍💐😀😀😀🇩🇪
By some accounts, there was a lull after the cavalries first left the field, and Hannibal had his ranks spread out to try to envelop the Romans, but Scipio matched the new Carthaginian formation.
This battle is a victory for rome, but both countries have won tactically and historically. Scipio Africanus, who learned the lessons of the past, Hannibal, who systematized "Hammer and Anvil Tactics," The soldiers of Rome and Carthage, who fought to protect their country, feel well deserved to be recorded in history! I think this video need some background music. Opera or rock would be better than the shouts of soldiers!😆😆

They should have armored or placed thick leather over the entire upper/head and abdomen/thorax of the body of the elephant. Then exposure of the legs would be a big problem, but at least the vitals would be protected.
Actually , Publius Cornelius Scipio was met Hannibal while he was escort his stepfather at 19 years old . In battle of zama , Scipio was already 29 years old and Hannibal was almost 50 years old .
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.
Buen video de las batallas de las guerras púnicas pero en la historia ecipion el africano no pudo igualar la batalla de cannas y no pudo olvidar la batalla de cannas por eso en la historia le preguntó a Aníbal barca quien fue mejor general y dos de los mejores Generales de la historia publio Cornelio ecipion el africano y Aníbal barca el barbaro asi fueron sus sobrenombres pero en la historia o antigua Roma anibal barca y ecipion el africano nunca se volvieron a ver en un campo abierto ecipion el africano fue derrotado en cannas como soldado y anibal barca fue derrotado como General en zama asi que en la historia fue un empate historicamente en la historia en las batallas de las guerras punicas en la segunda guerra punica perdieron más vidas los ejércitos romanos en italia y fue por anibal barca en la historia Aníbal barca derroto a más ejércitos romanos que publio Cornelio ecipion el africano quien derroto a los ejercitos cartagineses en la historia o historicamente en la historia quien tuvo la mejor batalla de la historia la batalla de cannas de Aníbal barca o la batalla de zama de ecipion el africano que fueron las batallas mas importantes de su vida o carrera como Generales de la historia de las guerras púnicas hay el dato
Not really. This was the extinct North African Forest Elephants some of the smallest elephants compared to Asian and Sub-Saharan elephants. Putting armor would be too heavy for those elephants.
Lol, the Scipio that Hanibal encountered in Italy was the old Scipio, the father. Scipio who defeated Hanibal was young Scipio, the son. So Hannibal had never got a chance to kill young Scipio.
Start watching for the possible graphic Visual artifact; dropped out after few minutes. The story as told here is lacking and omitting the real battle data, preceding, moves, forces and outcomes. But also graphic effect is kind of weird, say naked war elephants (in reality each has a tower, which is the deadly hi-rise force), or warriors (at the beginning of clip) waving their shields, like made of paper or cardboard (which is not the case of a real heavy shied); and more. I dropped out. The name by the way is Scipio (pronounced as Skipio), and not sipio or cipio. (and there are 2 narrators here, one is pronouncing correctly, the other one, not yet learned)
If the Romans’ discipline and training was so effective in warfare, then why did it fail against the Huns, Saxons, Franks, Lombards, Visigoths, and Vandals?
Good question. Those germanic tribes had huge numbers and already infiltrated in Roman army ranks. So contrary to what people believes, they knew very well romans tactics, strategies and had similar war equipment. Most of the romans army of 4/5 century were overwhelmed by the germans tribes.
For many reasons but not for military discipline... kind of. By the time the barbarian invasions you mentioned happened, Rome enjoyed almost 200 years of more of less peace at the peak of their power and extension. During that time, corruption spread between the Roman higher ups, causing in-fighting and various small scale civil wars. When the barbarians "invaded", the Romans were too busy fighting each other to really pull up a real fight. Add other various internal problems within the empire, like plagues, and it's a recepie for disaster. There is also the fact that the barbarians really didn't invaded. They were fleeing from the Huns and most of them asked to enter Roman territory peacefully and Rome accepted and let them in. By the time they took over, for the most part, they were fully integrated inside Roman society and a lot of them joined the Roman army as mercenaries. When barbarian leaders saw the sorry state of the Roman higher ups, they just kinda took over the local regional governaments.
They had more cavalry, Hannibal had less cavalry, they were under the control of a better general, 1 third (though it might have been less depending on the number of Hannibal's veterans) of Hannibal's army was untrained and another third was trained but had been serving under a different commander than Hannibal until very recently, so Hannibal didn't have much time to train them to perform specific maneuvers and had to rely on what they had already been trained to do. The poor quality of Hannibal's troops makes it difficult for him to perform any complex maneuvers, to be honest it's pretty shocking he even managed to get his first to lines to reposition to become the wings of the army after they get routed (there's a break in the fighting after his first two lines are beaten). Hannibal does have elephants but they are likely poorly trained as if they weren't Carthage probably would have fielded them in other battles against Scipio. You can see Hannibal is cautious of elephants being routed and attacking his own lines because he only supports the elephants with the light infantry only who have a loose formation and won't be too affected by elephants running through their lines rather than both the light and heavy infantry as is typical. Hannibal likely outnumbered Scipio in terms of infantry but how large this numerical advantage was is unknown (there is varying estimates, some that give Hannibal quite a large numerical advantage and some that give him a moderate numerical advantage) and given the superior quality of Scipio's forces Scipio may have had the advantage in both infantry and cavalry. At one point Polybius and Livy tell us that Hannibal's first too lines starting fighting each other rather than the enemy, which is bad for Hannibal. This is more speculative but it's possible Hannibal isn't in the best state of mind as his brother Mago died only a year ago and he must realise it's unlikely he'll win this war even if he is victorious in this battle (he even tries to surrender before this battle but Scipio rejects his terms). And lastly quite a few Historians actually think the battle of Zama was pretty close and that Scipio's victory depended on the time his cavalry returned.
Elephants weren't invicible, though, they were actually double-edged swords. War elephants were big targets for pilum, pike and arrows, once they were heavily wounded or their rider was dead, they would lose control and potentially ram their own troops. Sometimes, even loud noise can cause poorly trained elephants to panic and wreak havoc in their own rank even before the battle begins. The Roman counter elephants effectively in the battle of Zama, that's why they won.

There was music
@@kylecrane3054 😅
I'm agree with you
It was Alexander that systemized Hammer and Anvil
Imagine how fire would it be if tank was involved(ik it is uses in 20century, but just imagine)
Some people are never pleased keep making great videos
Absolutely brilliant
Superb rendition of one of histories great battles !
When you have been going on an ancient globetrotter war game and all’s going according to plan. All of a sudden some Skippy mf shows up in your backyard.
This was amazing
Wins every battle but 1 then loses it all. Hannibal must have felt like shit

Elephants were just innocent
No Armour for the elephants😅
Not really. This was the extinct North African Forest Elephants some of the smallest elephants compared to Asian and Sub-Saharan elephants. Putting armor would be too heavy for those elephants.

Hannibal regretted leaving the scipios alive.
Lol, the Scipio that Hanibal encountered in Italy was the old Scipio, the father. Scipio who defeated Hanibal was young Scipio, the son. So Hannibal had never got a chance to kill young Scipio.
Why didn't the Romans open passages for elephants? It's not in the movie.

S los elefantes no se les puede matar tan fácilmente con un par de jabalinas
I think using elephants in battle is extremely cowardly. So pitiful and pathetic.
Why? They have been considered the tanks of ancient warfare. Most of them are very effective (not here where they were young and untrained).
Elephants weren't invicible, though, they were actually double-edged swords. War elephants were big targets for pilum, pike and arrows, once they were heavily wounded or their rider was dead, they would lose control and potentially ram their own troops. Sometimes, even loud noise can cause poorly trained elephants to panic and wreak havoc in their own rank even before the battle begins. The Roman counter elephants effectively in the battle of Zama, that's why they won.
