Hannibal strategy are simple but yet, effective. Always flank the enemy to attack them at its most vulnerable side. Never engage the enemy when you are not ready. Hold fast and don't rush into decisions. Never give your trust away too easily, always keep your eyes peel. Never march an army on a empty stomach.

Jersey MusicMan333 nah Rome has too much impact on our daily lives here in the west. I can’t even imagine what our world would look like if the Roman Empire never existed. It’s like trying to predict what will happen a 1000 years in the future, there’s just too many variables that we will never know to take into account
Great video. However, I'd like to point out that it's very likely that no one surrendered to the Romans when they finally took Sagunto. According to some sources, when the Saguntines realised they were out of food or supplies, and no help was coming, they decided to kill themselves rather than surrender, killing children and the elderly first. It was freedom or death for Sagunto. Roman sources like Livy say that the Carthaginians offered to spare the Saguntines if they surrendered, gave up their weapons and posessions, and leave their city forever, but they rejected the offer so were killed... in a way blaming their allies for their own demise while conveniently brushing under the carpet that they encouraged Saguntines to attack and promised to send reinforcements (probably their commanders never intended to). Other authors tell the tale of Sagunto in a more poetic way, like Silius Italicus0 Punica, who sings the Saguntines' final stand and immolation by burning themselves. It would seem that the Roman army wanted a casus belli and they got it, using Sagunto to start the 2nd Punic War. Thanks for your videos; they're fantastic.
love how the Romans literally sailed right up to the Carthaginian coast, right in front of a Carthaginian army, and just stole their ships like that. thats what i call a devious lick
I just want to say you guys have helped me so much this is so interesting and the way you make everything it’s astonishing! You’ve got my subscription!
There are many fallacies and distortions that Rome deliberately made to create a bad image of Carthage, while the Greeks wrote objectively about the history of Carthage and their fascination with it. Among the distortions are claims of killing children and offering them as sacrifices. When you read what was written about Carthage from the point of view of other historians, you realize that these distortions are illogical. Aristotle wrote about Carthage in his book "On Politics" and expressed his admiration for it as a just country. It is also believed that Plato's book about the virtuous city may have been derived from his image or perception of Carthage. It is noteworthy that Carthage was the first civilization to abolish slavery and consider everyone citizens, the first civilization to establish a Senate (parliament), the first civilization to invent coins, and the first civilization to establish a constitution and laws. Magon is also considered the first agricultural engineer and the first to write about agriculture and compile an encyclopedia on the subject. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the Carthaginians were the first to discover the Americas before Columbus. Carthage had maritime, commercial, and agricultural power, in addition to excellence in crafts, ceramics, and the arts. The mosaics were delicate and exquisite. Carthaginian mosaics were seized by Rome after their overthrow. Iron machines used to steal the mosaics are still found in museums to this day. After the fall of Carthage, the Romans took Magon's agricultural book as spoils and used it to develop agriculture in Rome, which was suffering from hunger at that time. All the seeds, including lemons, olives, and wheat, were transported to Rome, and agriculture developed thanks to Carthage. Rome intended to make Carthaginian agricultural lands a source of its agricultural needs, and Carthage was called the granary of Rome. It has recently been discovered that the origin of macaroni is Tunisian-Carthaginian. The Carthaginians had a pasta resembling spaghetti but in smaller sizes, made from durum wheat, which was available in Carthage but not in Rome. After the overthrow of Carthage, the Romans learned and developed pasta making. Modern historians reveal many secrets about the great Carthage, and I feel very proud of this. Carthage Tunisia 🇹🇳
I have a question: According to history Hannibal took the elephants over the alps to the gates of Rome during the second Punic war. Where did he get those elephants? African elephant will newer allow to be commanded or ridden with? So the Carthagans got a flock of Indian elephants somehow cross middle east kingdoms without a problem. Modern day eqalevent of Nato tanks going through Russia? I doubt they sailed all the way down to south around Africa to India to get them. The elephants would not have survived that trip. When the story is connected to a childrens fairytales these kind of stories come to be in history!!!!
I just happened upon this channel... all I can say is thank fucking God I'm not alone (nerds unite ) my gf says im a huge nerd but fuck I cant help it this channel is my new drug !!!!!!
at Ebro, I don't understand two tings: What would be the advantage of attack the Romans early as possible? With less soldiers on the ships? Without support from the ground? Or without a battle line? And so on... And at the end, abandon the ships?? Instead of made them a new batte place? So much hasty or passive "actions"...
How much of it is accurate in regards with the crossing of the Alps? As far as I know there is not much record on the topic and only educated guesses...
I wonder about something. If Hannibal's army could take the fortified city of Saguntum, why couldn't they take Rome itself after defeating the Romans at Cannae?
Hannibal was one of the greatest Generals in the history, but he was also a mad man. He was so obsessed by vengeance against Rome. Imagine marching that far, outstretched, and losing up 40% of its more experienced troops along the way then all the sudden decide to not conquer Rome when Rome was at his feet, doesn't make any sense.
Caesar and Auralien too in terms of how they solidified changes to the military in their lifetimes and used those changes to maximum effect. And don't forget the Samnites! If Alexander had invaded Italy instead of Persia, he would have been up against two Central Italian military states that could weather his onslaught and are more likely to team up against the foreign Greeks. Hannibal did better than anyone other than Romans themselves, but Italy became a warzone when Rome and Samnium started fighting 120 yesrs before he arrived. Whoever came out on top was gonna dominate. Even by the Late Republic the Samnites fought the Senate and Sulla and they weren't pushovers. They just didnt want to fight en masse for a foreigner. To them that was worse than bowing to Rome.
@@andreasyung78 Yes, Rome. By the time he left, the Roman army was poised to take over Europe. They learned from Hannibal the most advanced offence in the ancient world and how to defend against the offenses he introduced to them and avoid traps they were blind to before Hannibal arrived. Proof is, when Rome attacked Carthage, Scippio used Hannibal's tactics offensively and knew how to neutralize the elephant charge that was so effective when Hannibal first arrived on the Italian peninsula. Above all else, the Romans were adaptive so defeating them without destroying them was a mistake. Hannibal did not have the means to capture Rome the city, so they just kept learning lessons until he was depleted.
@@geordiejones5618I agree with both of these, but what about marian as well? The reforms were a massive part of the legions becoming what they became.
I fully respect Hannibal for his leadership and courage, and the fact that he crossed the Alps in horrible conditions takes a serious pair of Hanni-BALLS
@@clevelandwilliams5922 first of all Lebanese never existed at that time. Carthage is based in modern Tunisia today. Carthage was founded by the princess Elissa(dido) which was Phoenician with that I agree because she run away from her brother who killed her husband and took the power, but Phoenicia In now a days Lebanon fall to Babylonia and Carthage🇹🇳 continued. And Hannibal born 600 years later he may have Phoenician ancestry but he never associated himself with them. On that 600 years Phoenician got mixed with berbers he was Phoenician berber o probably got only 2% Phoenician on him but they were speaking Punic language. He was Phoenician Berber just like Tunisians are arabised today. So Hannibal is 🇹🇳
Hannibal won almost every single confrontation at a tactical level. He lost at a strategic level. Long routes, made severely insecure by the Romans, having to either bribe or fight his way through a large swath of land made insecure by the Gauls, waging war all over Italy's outskirts but never close to Rome, all this wore him down. In fact, even if the Romans lost the battle of Trebia, depriving Hannibal of his war elephants could be seen as a strategic victory for Rome. Whereas the final Roman attack was short, straight to Carthage's heart, over the direct sea route. Hannibal should have read Sun Tzu: a capable general wins a war that is already won. Only a fool wins spectacular battles.
I do believe they all have added on videos together. Suggest checking out EpicHistory channel covers more modern conflicts.

Trust just thought about that been rewatching all 3 channels videos Kings & Generals at the top but this channel in my opinion is catching up really well. Well done 👍
I've been a huge fan for 4 years. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series? No episode 20. It's been 1 year + 3 months, and 67 other videos later, since episode 19. It seems to be your most beloved series. It starts out with ~3,000,000 views on episode 1. And still gets >400,000 views by episode 19. Your most recent videos have been getting ~200,000 views. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series?
Out of all generals throughout history, Hannibal is my favorite. Through skill and experience he was able to persevere and win against all odds. If the Carthaginians only supported him like the Romans, it would be Carthage that would have been the basis of Western civilization
@WarriorofChrist612 at a minimum they would have ruled Gaul, Italy and been a sphere to Macedon, yet we have no idea how they could have fated against the selucids or the Egyptians. Expecially with their type of army composition and use of phalanx formations, I feel they would have never made it past them or past Greece. Personal opinion
@@SuchDoge4242 They had diverse array of army composition due to their mercenary tradition which gives them an advantage in unpredictability. But mercenaries are not particularly loyal and will rebel at times or switch sides. Carthage’s success is based on how much money they have to fund their mercenaries.
@WarriorofChrist612 even with a diverse array look at any historical sources on their battle tactics. They were huge fans on heavy phalanx in the middle covered by their Gaul and numidian mercenaries, but in plain comparison they were much more flexible than say Macedon, I just still don't see them in a pitched battle being able to over come the steel wall that was a Macedonian phalanx. I do agree with your statement but excluding the money factor and just think battle field tactic, could Carthage without hannibal manage to beat a empire like Egypt or Macedon or the selucid empire.
Thanks guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
@@michaldohnal7028 It's not about Rome, it's the fact that Carthage didn't view him like a hero. Some from aristocracy asked romans to get rid of him. Like Scipio, they did everything for their states and in return they become outcasts. He could not even die from old age, because romans hunted him and he drink poison by hiself to not get capture. (short story) Not to mention that a great culture like Carthage got wiped out. Isn't this an even more sad ending?

Hannibal is one of those names in History I've always known of but never fully looked into, this was a great in-depth overview! I love the animations for the battles, taking notes for my Total War games!
I missed the part where they said Hannibal Barack was black after all Carthage is an Africa.... He's also in the Bible fighting for Debra in the Book of judges....most of the storys in the bible arent that old. In the bible ... "the Pilot of Rome" is actually Pontius Pilate (the Caesar) Once you know who everyone is ...you can actually cross reference it with history.... For example... Revelation 6:8 ( the pale horse) is the prophecy of Christopher Columbus coming to the fourth part of the Earth (AKA North America) They took the names out of the Bible and replaced them with titles....like " the Queen of Sheba".....her name in history is Bilquis.... And the kingdom of Sheba was in East Ethiopia
@@davenalford6956 North Africans aren’t always black, particularly in the ancient era when there was heavy colonization by other Mediterranean peoples, and the wide range of Berbers who lived in North Africa. The Numidians in particular were more likely olive skinned whites who looked more like Romans than what you’d think of when you think “African.”
@@davenalford6956 first of all it's Hannibal Barca, not Barack. Secondly, Carthage was defended from Phonecia in the Middle East, and even today most Tunisians are not black, but are more Arab, similar to Egypt today. Hannibal being part of the Carthaginian nobility means he was probably of Phonecia decent and thus more Arab in complexion, not black.
@@Danymok Carthage is now called Tunisia (North Africa) the Middle East didn't exist until 1947 - When the League of Nations gave someone some land that didn't belong to them. And you might want to double-check everything you said in your comment history has been completely whitewashed and flipped upside down along with the maps.

Hanno really screwed everything up, him not waiting on Hasdrubal for reinforcements set the dominoes falling away from Hannibal. Not only did he lose men and gold. He left Hasdrubal short manned, which then made him lose in ship to ship fighting, then him losing dozens of ships to the Romans.
The exact toll is realised 10 years later when scipio bros take over entire Spain.if only that guy had waited, they would hv nipped it in the bud and scipios wouldn't hv existed to attack iberia or then move to carthage. The only mistake of 2nd punic war that caused carthage downfall
Hello Everyone, just here to remind people that even though I agree our ~African Hero~ had darker skin color, he was still white/caucasian. Sorry to dissapoint but truth hurts. This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.
@@alaothman858 His mother were from Levant region (modern day Syria), I'm not sure what his father were, his father were properly native north African either from modern day Tunisia or Libya since both were defending Carthage in it last battle while all other nations left it over and back the Roman including Numidians
🤔 Barcid family were Black Jews lol; a division of the Maccabees and remnant of the Jews left over from King Solomon and the Phoenician black Canaanite seafarers. Xanthippus clan were under the Barcas and 3 sons died serving the Maccabees. Classic Latin,Persian and Arabic literature describe these people as NEGROES.
The same remnant would be the North African corps of the 1st Muslim Conquest; anybody whos knows WTF they're talking about knows these were the Black Moors who would Run Spain 700's-1100's and become notorious in the architecture of EVERY EUROPEAN country and coveted as Eunuchs in Royal courts in Africa/Europe/Persia and India..

@@HardoGembol Your're crazy, this man damn near ran through their whole Empire on elephants and even recruited people from their country to fight against them, sorry its not close.

@@vonn4017 Wrong ! Carthage territory was mainly the whole of Tunisia (plus north west of Libya and north east of Algeria), that is the core of Carthage, and the city of Carthage in now Tunis was the capital. At its peak, it expanded to include the whole of North west Africa, most of Iberia, Sicilia (and of course Malta, Sardinia...). The Carthaginians were Punics who were a mix of the Phoenicians and the local people who were in nowadays Tunisia (specifically) who, unlike the local people of the other Phoenician settlements, adopted the Phoenician culture and developed it adding to it the local culture (just like the Etruscans in Italy who adopted the Greek culture a.k.a the Romans) especially after the fall of Tyre, and the total independence of Carthage in around 650 BC, which led to drastic changes which are mainly: - The fall of the old monarchy system and the rise of the republic of Carthage (the development of a constitution etc...). - The development of deities: Baal became Baal-hammon along with its partner Tanit (a local deity which replaced Ashtar and other Tyrian deities). They were both the main dieties. - The language has changed through time to be a mix of Phoenician language and the local language/dialect hence the Punic language and then the Neo-Punic and so on (search for the play Poenulus by Plautus)... - Unlike the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians were not only a great traders and merchants, but also a remarkable generals and warriors alongside their allies the Numidians and Libyans (well, most of the time !) who were under their rule and command, especially the Barcids for example (the family of Hamilcar and Hannibal).
This is why I love these types of long documentaries. It gives you a lot of details instead of majority of youtubers or history documentations on TV that just say "oh he crossed the alps fought like 3 major battles and eventually lost". While they missed the 15+ years and the dozens and dozens of other pretty large battles plus logistics that played part in the entire war. Only books could have done this type of detail but to be fair most authors lack the detail to stick to reading. It gives you a sense how long and complicated these wars were.
Hannibal is definitely my favorite of history's generals. "When the standard of the Roman Empire flew over much of the known world, only Hannibal gave Rome cause to tremble in fear." -Drifters, anime
So many great generals throughout history. For me I love learning about Julius Cesar, Hannibal Barca, Alexander the great, Robert E Lee, and Saladin. All great generals of their time.

Its crazy how having support of the tribes or not was such a factor. It seems so minor compared to the Roman Carthaginian conflict itself. Yet its constantly mentioned how the actions of leaders on both sides were influenced by the impression it might give the tribes. Having their support in the conflict was actually much more critical then I would have thought.

The Carthaginians just got punked 55:15
Great video. However, I'd like to point out that it's very likely that no one surrendered to the Romans when they finally took Sagunto. According to some sources, when the Saguntines realised they were out of food or supplies, and no help was coming, they decided to kill themselves rather than surrender, killing children and the elderly first. It was freedom or death for Sagunto. Roman sources like Livy say that the Carthaginians offered to spare the Saguntines if they surrendered, gave up their weapons and posessions, and leave their city forever, but they rejected the offer so were killed... in a way blaming their allies for their own demise while conveniently brushing under the carpet that they encouraged Saguntines to attack and promised to send reinforcements (probably their commanders never intended to). Other authors tell the tale of Sagunto in a more poetic way, like Silius Italicus0 Punica, who sings the Saguntines' final stand and immolation by burning themselves.
It would seem that the Roman army wanted a casus belli and they got it, using Sagunto to start the 2nd Punic War.
Thanks for your videos; they're fantastic.
love how the Romans literally sailed right up to the Carthaginian coast, right in front of a Carthaginian army, and just stole their ships like that. thats what i call a devious lick
The leader that charges before his men always has my respect.
The lady boy that hides behind his soldiers does not
I just want to say you guys have helped me so much this is so interesting and the way you make everything it’s astonishing! You’ve got my subscription!
Thank you sir. Welcome to the channel. Part 11, the Battle of Cannae, will be released in a few weeks.
Nice keep up the great work. And the person who’s narrating, beautiful!
That ship-stealing was so funny. How brazen was that!
There are many fallacies and distortions that Rome deliberately made to create a bad image of Carthage, while the Greeks wrote objectively about the history of Carthage and their fascination with it. Among the distortions are claims of killing children and offering them as sacrifices. When you read what was written about Carthage from the point of view of other historians, you realize that these distortions are illogical. Aristotle wrote about Carthage in his book "On Politics" and expressed his admiration for it as a just country. It is also believed that Plato's book about the virtuous city may have been derived from his image or perception of Carthage.
It is noteworthy that Carthage was the first civilization to abolish slavery and consider everyone citizens, the first civilization to establish a Senate (parliament), the first civilization to invent coins, and the first civilization to establish a constitution and laws. Magon is also considered the first agricultural engineer and the first to write about agriculture and compile an encyclopedia on the subject. Additionally, it is noteworthy that the Carthaginians were the first to discover the Americas before Columbus.
Carthage had maritime, commercial, and agricultural power, in addition to excellence in crafts, ceramics, and the arts. The mosaics were delicate and exquisite. Carthaginian mosaics were seized by Rome after their overthrow. Iron machines used to steal the mosaics are still found in museums to this day.
After the fall of Carthage, the Romans took Magon's agricultural book as spoils and used it to develop agriculture in Rome, which was suffering from hunger at that time. All the seeds, including lemons, olives, and wheat, were transported to Rome, and agriculture developed thanks to Carthage. Rome intended to make Carthaginian agricultural lands a source of its agricultural needs, and Carthage was called the granary of Rome.
It has recently been discovered that the origin of macaroni is Tunisian-Carthaginian. The Carthaginians had a pasta resembling spaghetti but in smaller sizes, made from durum wheat, which was available in Carthage but not in Rome. After the overthrow of Carthage, the Romans learned and developed pasta making.
Modern historians reveal many secrets about the great Carthage, and I feel very proud of this. Carthage Tunisia 🇹🇳

either we find a way or we make one. Hannibal's word
You guys should get on Nebula so I can watch you there too
I have a question: According to history Hannibal took the elephants over the alps to the gates of Rome during the second Punic war. Where did he get those elephants? African elephant will newer allow to be commanded or ridden with? So the Carthagans got a flock of Indian elephants somehow cross middle east kingdoms without a problem. Modern day eqalevent of Nato tanks going through Russia? I doubt they sailed all the way down to south around Africa to India to get them. The elephants would not have survived that trip. When the story is connected to a childrens fairytales these kind of stories come to be in history!!!!
Since the Indians can tame the elephant it is not difficult for the Berbers to do so
Humans can tame any animal if they want to
Google what is a North African elephant, an extinct species.
I am here from oversimplified video about hannibal xD i knew you had more detailed records.
Great one thanks!
LOL, our Erbro is here bro !
Amazing series!
Thanks a lot for this video, loved it.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I just happened upon this channel... all I can say is thank fucking God I'm not alone (nerds unite ) my gf says im a huge nerd but fuck I cant help it this channel is my new drug !!!!!!
Why didn't Scipio crushed hannibal just before he crossed the Alps?
He attempted to with the help of a Celtic tribe in the Rhone river, but Hannibal flanked there army leading to a Carthaginian victory.
at Ebro, I don't understand two tings: What would be the advantage of attack the Romans early as possible? With less soldiers on the ships? Without support from the ground? Or without a battle line? And so on... And at the end, abandon the ships?? Instead of made them a new batte place? So much hasty or passive "actions"...
I think I found a worthy voice actor for Kain in the legacy of kain series.
Hannibal the best 🇹🇳🇹🇳🇹🇳
Hannibal Phoenician 🇱🇧🇱🇧🇱🇧 not Berber 😂
Consul Tiberius Sempronius Longus...related to Naughtiest Maximus & Biggus Dickus
I ASSUME THEY STOPPED USING WAR ELEPHANTS BECAUSE OF CANNONS.. WHEN DID THAT ALL START? THAT WOULD BE A CRAZY HOLLYWOOD MOVIE...
Awsome work, thank you!
How much of it is accurate in regards with the crossing of the Alps? As far as I know there is not much record on the topic and only educated guesses...
Where can I find this sound track? 44:20
40:34 does anyone know why Hannibal didn’t attack them while they were still forming up?
Very nice well done this channel
But who is speaking i mean whis voice is on this videos its so attractive
How do they know the detailed layouts of these ancient cities? Are they just estimates, or are they based on fact?
I wonder about something. If Hannibal's army could take the fortified city of Saguntum, why couldn't they take Rome itself after defeating the Romans at Cannae?
Death by elephant dung would be a shitty way to go
“Do you think Hannibal will try and outflank us?”
- said no Roman general ever!
Do you plan on continuing the story with scipio afrocanus?
Call me a heretic, but losing 42% of your army by going over a mountain range in winter doesn't strike me as legendary tactical genius
indeed.
Hannibal was one of the greatest Generals in the history, but he was also a mad man. He was so obsessed by vengeance against Rome.
Imagine marching that far, outstretched, and losing up 40% of its more experienced troops along the way then all the sudden decide to not conquer Rome when Rome was at his feet, doesn't make any sense.
Hannibal was the greatest military teacher Rome ever had.
Caesar and Auralien too in terms of how they solidified changes to the military in their lifetimes and used those changes to maximum effect. And don't forget the Samnites! If Alexander had invaded Italy instead of Persia, he would have been up against two Central Italian military states that could weather his onslaught and are more likely to team up against the foreign Greeks. Hannibal did better than anyone other than Romans themselves, but Italy became a warzone when Rome and Samnium started fighting 120 yesrs before he arrived. Whoever came out on top was gonna dominate. Even by the Late Republic the Samnites fought the Senate and Sulla and they weren't pushovers. They just didnt want to fight en masse for a foreigner. To them that was worse than bowing to Rome.
Rome??
@@andreasyung78 Yes, Rome. By the time he left, the Roman army was poised to take over Europe. They learned from Hannibal the most advanced offence in the ancient world and how to defend against the offenses he introduced to them and avoid traps they were blind to before Hannibal arrived. Proof is, when Rome attacked Carthage, Scippio used Hannibal's tactics offensively and knew how to neutralize the elephant charge that was so effective when Hannibal first arrived on the Italian peninsula. Above all else, the Romans were adaptive so defeating them without destroying them was a mistake. Hannibal did not have the means to capture Rome the city, so they just kept learning lessons until he was depleted.
Unfortunately it was I who failed to learn from my mistakes
@@geordiejones5618I agree with both of these, but what about marian as well? The reforms were a massive part of the legions becoming what they became.
I fully respect Hannibal for his leadership and courage, and the fact that he crossed the Alps in horrible conditions takes a serious pair of Hanni-BALLS
Stinky!
This is why Lebanese are made of Iron
respect for sacking Saguntum, i'm not racist, but saguntumian are an exeption
@@clevelandwilliams5922 first of all Lebanese never existed at that time. Carthage is based in modern Tunisia today. Carthage was founded by the princess Elissa(dido) which was Phoenician with that I agree because she run away from her brother who killed her husband and took the power, but Phoenicia In now a days Lebanon fall to Babylonia and Carthage🇹🇳 continued. And Hannibal born 600 years later he may have Phoenician ancestry but he never associated himself with them. On that 600 years Phoenician got mixed with berbers he was Phoenician berber o probably got only 2% Phoenician on him but they were speaking Punic language. He was Phoenician Berber just like Tunisians are arabised today. So Hannibal is 🇹🇳
He unified north Africans glory to North africa long live king Hannibal ❤
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
You think you might win,
But Hannibal flanks you
lol
Rip the Romans
Truer words have never been spoken
But the flanks get you killed
Hannibal won almost every single confrontation at a tactical level. He lost at a strategic level. Long routes, made severely insecure by the Romans, having to either bribe or fight his way through a large swath of land made insecure by the Gauls, waging war all over Italy's outskirts but never close to Rome, all this wore him down. In fact, even if the Romans lost the battle of Trebia, depriving Hannibal of his war elephants could be seen as a strategic victory for Rome. Whereas the final Roman attack was short, straight to Carthage's heart, over the direct sea route.
Hannibal should have read Sun Tzu: a capable general wins a war that is already won. Only a fool wins spectacular battles.
This channel looks like combining the humor aspect of Historia Civilis and visual aspect of Kings and Generals. Good job!
I love how they detail the video
@Name Name hes pretty good considering how good his videos are, and hes got a good voice.
@Name Name The battle of Nicopolis is a 2 part episode, its a good video I would say.
I do believe they all have added on videos together. Suggest checking out EpicHistory channel covers more modern conflicts.
Trust just thought about that been rewatching all 3 channels videos Kings & Generals at the top but this channel in my opinion is catching up really well. Well done 👍
I've been a huge fan for 4 years. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series? No episode 20. It's been 1 year + 3 months, and 67 other videos later, since episode 19. It seems to be your most beloved series. It starts out with ~3,000,000 views on episode 1. And still gets >400,000 views by episode 19. Your most recent videos have been getting ~200,000 views. Why have you guys decided to discontinue the Hannibal series?
Out of all generals throughout history, Hannibal is my favorite. Through skill and experience he was able to persevere and win against all odds. If the Carthaginians only supported him like the Romans, it would be Carthage that would have been the basis of Western civilization
Carthage is in Africa tho?
@@hermitguy102They would’ve ruled the west.
@WarriorofChrist612 at a minimum they would have ruled Gaul, Italy and been a sphere to Macedon, yet we have no idea how they could have fated against the selucids or the Egyptians. Expecially with their type of army composition and use of phalanx formations, I feel they would have never made it past them or past Greece. Personal opinion
@@SuchDoge4242 They had diverse array of army composition due to their mercenary tradition which gives them an advantage in unpredictability. But mercenaries are not particularly loyal and will rebel at times or switch sides. Carthage’s success is based on how much money they have to fund their mercenaries.
@WarriorofChrist612 even with a diverse array look at any historical sources on their battle tactics. They were huge fans on heavy phalanx in the middle covered by their Gaul and numidian mercenaries, but in plain comparison they were much more flexible than say Macedon, I just still don't see them in a pitched battle being able to over come the steel wall that was a Macedonian phalanx.
I do agree with your statement but excluding the money factor and just think battle field tactic, could Carthage without hannibal manage to beat a empire like Egypt or Macedon or the selucid empire.
It has been ages and I am rewatching this with relish. Love Hannibal, and I honestly wish he had a better ending.
Me too, had the war ended after cannae, it would have been like a fairy tale co!e true
We all feel the same
WTF Roman victory is sad end for you ?
Thanks guys. This is a compilation to make viewing easier for you guys. I'll be uploading another 1-hour compilation of parts 6-10 soon, and I'm working on part 11 right now, the battle of Cannae. It's a big project.
@@michaldohnal7028 It's not about Rome, it's the fact that Carthage didn't view him like a hero. Some from aristocracy asked romans to get rid of him. Like Scipio, they did everything for their states and in return they become outcasts. He could not even die from old age, because romans hunted him and he drink poison by hiself to not get capture. (short story)
Not to mention that a great culture like Carthage got wiped out. Isn't this an even more sad ending?

@@albertocruz5032 hannibal had to withdraw to defend carthage, taking Rome but losing carthage would have been a bit of a pyrrhic victory
Hannibal is one of those names in History I've always known of but never fully looked into, this was a great in-depth overview! I love the animations for the battles, taking notes for my Total War games!
I missed the part where they said Hannibal Barack was black after all Carthage is an Africa....
He's also in the Bible fighting for Debra in the Book of judges....most of the storys in the bible arent that old.
In the bible ... "the Pilot of Rome" is actually Pontius Pilate (the Caesar)
Once you know who everyone is ...you can actually cross reference it with history....
For example... Revelation 6:8 ( the pale horse) is the prophecy of Christopher Columbus coming to the fourth part of the Earth (AKA North America)
They took the names out of the Bible and replaced them with titles....like " the Queen of Sheba".....her name in history is Bilquis.... And the kingdom of Sheba was in East Ethiopia
@@davenalford6956 North Africans aren’t always black, particularly in the ancient era when there was heavy colonization by other Mediterranean peoples, and the wide range of Berbers who lived in North Africa.
The Numidians in particular were more likely olive skinned whites who looked more like Romans than what you’d think of when you think “African.”
@@davenalford6956 first of all it's Hannibal Barca, not Barack. Secondly, Carthage was defended from Phonecia in the Middle East, and even today most Tunisians are not black, but are more Arab, similar to Egypt today. Hannibal being part of the Carthaginian nobility means he was probably of Phonecia decent and thus more Arab in complexion, not black.
@@Danymok Carthage is now called Tunisia (North Africa) the Middle East didn't exist until 1947 - When the League of Nations gave someone some land that didn't belong to them.

Hanno really screwed everything up, him not waiting on Hasdrubal for reinforcements set the dominoes falling away from Hannibal. Not only did he lose men and gold. He left Hasdrubal short manned, which then made him lose in ship to ship fighting, then him losing dozens of ships to the Romans.
he went full Leeroy Jenkins
The exact toll is realised 10 years later when scipio bros take over entire Spain.if only that guy had waited, they would hv nipped it in the bud and scipios wouldn't hv existed to attack iberia or then move to carthage. The only mistake of 2nd punic war that caused carthage downfall

Hello Everyone, just here to remind people that even though I agree our ~African Hero~ had darker skin color, he was still white/caucasian. Sorry to dissapoint but truth hurts. This is not a way to repulse the great sub saharian warriors such as the archers of the eye, ghanian gambeson cavalry and countless others, but to not let political and racial extrem*sts steal the historical heritage of berber ppl.
he looked like a modern day Tunisian
@@alaothman858 His mother were from Levant region (modern day Syria), I'm not sure what his father were, his father were properly native north African either from modern day Tunisia or Libya since both were defending Carthage in it last battle while all other nations left it over and back the Roman including Numidians
🤔 Barcid family were Black Jews lol; a division of the Maccabees and remnant of the Jews left over from King Solomon and the Phoenician black Canaanite seafarers. Xanthippus clan were under the Barcas and 3 sons died serving the Maccabees. Classic Latin,Persian and Arabic literature describe these people as NEGROES.
The same remnant would be the North African corps of the 1st Muslim Conquest; anybody whos knows WTF they're talking about knows these were the Black Moors who would Run Spain 700's-1100's and become notorious in the architecture of EVERY EUROPEAN country and coveted as Eunuchs in Royal courts in Africa/Europe/Persia and India..

rome forever!
It's unlikely that Carthaginians were of the same stock as modern Tunisians. Just as ancient Egyptians are very different to modern Egyptians
@@vonn4017
Wrong !
Carthage territory was mainly the whole of Tunisia (plus north west of Libya and north east of Algeria), that is the core of Carthage, and the city of Carthage in now Tunis was the capital.
At its peak, it expanded to include the whole of North west Africa, most of Iberia, Sicilia (and of course Malta, Sardinia...).
The Carthaginians were Punics who were a mix of the Phoenicians and the local people who were in nowadays Tunisia (specifically) who, unlike the local people of the other Phoenician settlements, adopted the Phoenician culture and developed it adding to it the local culture (just like the Etruscans in Italy who adopted the Greek culture a.k.a the Romans) especially after the fall of Tyre, and the total independence of Carthage in around 650 BC, which led to drastic changes which are mainly:
- The fall of the old monarchy system and the rise of the republic of Carthage (the development of a constitution etc...).
- The development of deities: Baal became Baal-hammon along with its partner Tanit (a local deity which replaced Ashtar and other Tyrian deities). They were both the main dieties.
- The language has changed through time to be a mix of Phoenician language and the local language/dialect hence the Punic language and then the Neo-Punic and so on (search for the play Poenulus by Plautus)...
- Unlike the Phoenicians, the Carthaginians were not only a great traders and merchants, but also a remarkable generals and warriors alongside their allies the Numidians and Libyans (well, most of the time !) who were under their rule and command, especially the Barcids for example (the family of Hamilcar and Hannibal).
@@vonn4017 Carthage was an empire on its own, while the rest of the Phoenician cities disappeared , Carthage, expanded and grew.
This is why I love these types of long documentaries. It gives you a lot of details instead of majority of youtubers or history documentations on TV that just say "oh he crossed the alps fought like 3 major battles and eventually lost". While they missed the 15+ years and the dozens and dozens of other pretty large battles plus logistics that played part in the entire war. Only books could have done this type of detail but to be fair most authors lack the detail to stick to reading. It gives you a sense how long and complicated these wars were.

"When the standard of the Roman Empire flew over much of the known world, only Hannibal gave Rome cause to tremble in fear."

Rome at this time was contained in the Italian peninsula and in the Mediterranean islands around it. Not much of the known world.

Its crazy how having support of the tribes or not was such a factor. It seems so minor compared to the Roman Carthaginian conflict itself. Yet its constantly mentioned how the actions of leaders on both sides were influenced by the impression it might give the tribes. Having their support in the conflict was actually much more critical then I would have thought.
