Paullus celebrated one of the most spectacular triumphs in all of Roman history and brought home a truly ludicrous amount of loot. His crowning achievement was having the Macedonian King walk in his triumph, which many contemporaries and modern scholars see as the high-point of the Middle Republic. He was also the father of Scipio Aemelianus, the Roman general who burned Carthage to the ground and the son of the Roman consul, Aemilius Paullus, who died at the battle of Cannae.
The whole thing of the Macedonian Wars kicked off during the height of the Second Punic War between Carthage & Rome. This huge war had Rome on the ropes and Macedon decided to side with Carthage. Rome never forgot that.
For the Romans it was treachery and betrayal. For the Creeks “bro this guy’s becoming to powerful let’s team up” literally! That’s why after Alexander died there was no unification. Been that way for hundreds of years before. Greeks will be Greeks 😂
Would it have made any difference in the long term whether they sided with Carthage or not? I doubt very much that eventual results would have been any different for the Macedonian
@@abdulmunir395 yes after centuries of civil war the Greeks power was fading but at same time no new tactics developed no innovation. They were still using tactics developed my Philip the second.
the Macedonians by this stage no longer had access to enough cavalry to make the phalanx effective, the use of 16 by 16 formations in 256 man battalions and the Sarissa should be used to pinion enemy formations in place the phalangite's not on the front line would place their sarissa's which were 18 foot in length on the enemy heads shields and shoulders , preventing them from turning and holding them in place while the rear lines would hold theirs at a 45 degree angle to prevent missile fire hitting the troops, the cavalry was supposed to be used to actually break enemy formations but by this stage Macedon just couldn't field enough, initially in this battle the Macedonians were winning but when the Romans withdrew to more uneven ground the phalanxe followed and lost to compactness of their units which allowed the Romans to close the distance imposed by the 18 foot sarissa's , from that the battle was lost, if the Macedons had enough heavy cavalry they would have swept the field, the Diadochi wars had depleted their stock to the point it was primarily cheaper light cavalry that they fielded
I've noticed that too when a play total war even the weakest Macedonian unit would crushed Rome's strongest units as long as I placed Macedonian companion cavalry and cretan archers on good positions
No, the phalanx just was just too cumbersome and inflexible. The scutum made it difficult to inflict damage and the pila toss was devastating. The sarissa blocking incoming fire is pure myth.
@@greattribulation1388 agreed. I dont see how sarissa could block pilae. Alexander had medium infantry covering the phalanx flank. Those men had larger shields and shorter spears or swords than phalangalites. And were more mobile. They also supported the light infantry and misile troops. And if possibls filled up the gap between the phalanx and cavalry. hypaspists. And this time elephants actually worked. I think the macedons should have widened their phalanx front and kept light and medium infantry in reserve to support the phalanx and cavalry. Lessen the depth from 16 to 12. But the extra wide front could have supported the falnks better.
Nice. I'd like to point out a mistake, the Antigonid dynasty originated from Antigonus the first, who was Alexander's general. Alexander himself was a member of the Argead dynasty.
Those cinematic camera angles of Roman and Macedonian soldiers being lopped apart never ceases to amuse me😈! For future videos, you should do the Battle of Kadesh (1274 B.C.E.) and Suppiluliuma vs. Tausret (non-historical) for Pharaoh, the Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.) and Kush vs. Pergamon (non-historical) for Rome II, and the Siege of Milan (452 C.E.) and Burgundians vs. Ebdanians (non-historical) for Attila. Keep up the excellent work churning out more fantastic cinematic videos such as these👍😁!
The Hellenistic kingdoms fought a lot different to way Alexander did. To Alexander the Phalanx was nothing but a pinning tool, to hold the enemy in place while using his mobile and auxiliary units to attack the flanks and rear. By the time the kingdoms went against Rome the phalanx became the main arm and was used more offensively. It was more heavier and immobile. It’s hard to say if the Romans using its system at the time would have fared against Alexander’s combined arms.
If Alexander himself was there, Rome would have needed someone like Caesar to win a battle against him. If it was Alexander's army but not Alexander himself, Rome would still have won, as they were familiar with phalanx tactics, while Alexander's army was used to fighting against Persians or other Greeks.
Alexander also reigned during the peak of Macedonian resources and manpower, after the Persian conquest and the diadochi wars, all of that was depleted.
Well, we can use the battles against phyrus as some idea. Would have been brutal, but possibly alexander would have won, but the Romans would just never give up and keep fighting. Raise yet another army to fight. Probably would have worn him down.
Wonderful video ! Nicely edited ;) Would you mind sharing your graphic preset and/or your GEM settings ? Everything is maxed out on my game but it looks nothing like this… Thanks !
Cinematics were good, and the script dramatic, but the commentary audio stereo imaging was a bit inconsistent !? (eg at 1:03 the cut mid-sentence just before "effectively", and numerous others are distracting). Was interesting and enjoyable overall !
The lack of cavalry and existing cavalry not charging was borderline treason. This isn't the greatest example of successful use of hammer and anvil. And it worked well with Hannibal.
Esta batalla estuvo dirigida por Perseo de forma pèsima como se v en el video si hubiera estado Pirro otra batalla se hubiera apreciado no se el resultado pero ...
Looking for historical verification that Romans of that period used only a single rider, with no "castle" atop. 40 of likely smaller N. African decent or an extinct Asian specie In checking further, it seems that battle of Pydna had 22 Elephants against the Greeks /And 2 to six riders, depending on size of animal and equipment. Up to 600 pounds (not a lot)
How effective were the phalanx at crushing the Roman front line though? Wasn't it hard for the Romans to fight through the multiple piercing spikes while sustaining low losses?
Je crois deviner derrière le "manipulateur" des sous-titres français le mot latin "manipula" (la manipule était une des sections ou compagnies constituant les légions) système manipulaire aurait donc été plus sérieux comme traduction.

There were no more qualifate generals and tacticians worth at that era in the Hellenic world that can effectively use the Hellenic arms and tacticks against Rome,the Pyrus of Eperus and the Dimitrius the sieger were some exceptions to that "rule" which were very promising and had the means but not the character to do so and yet traditionaly the Greeks as always were occupite to fighting themselves and waste valuable ressursces in men and materials to prolonge and unnecessary civil wars than used them against foreigners,if someone can count the Rome a foreigner at all!
You should structure your videos to have less of the fighting scenes and more of a macroscopic view, along with more talking points. It's hard to follow the story with 10 second breaks between fighting and a few seconds of narration here and there. You might as well create a whole CGI battle and not even narrate.
as well this video is made. It has an annoying AI voice. Dude, why not using your own voice? Using a game for the on screen action is always nice. But the tactical map was also clumsy made. It's still better than the netflix Alexander show. But that's not hard to be honest.

This is why we always stagger the line, soldiers. So we don't get enveloped.

@@Aristocles22 nobody know ...Alexander is such a genius strategist...remember he defeated an army of elephant wars too..
Alexander also reigned during the peak of Macedonian resources and manpower, after the Persian conquest and the diadochi wars, all of that was depleted.
Well, we can use the battles against phyrus as some idea. Would have been brutal, but possibly alexander would have won, but the Romans would just never give up and keep fighting.

Прекрасная подача материала и визуал и текст и речь, очень интересно
Thank you
18:03 charged by elephant from the rear...
now that's GGWP
Biggest weaknesses of Phalanx was uneven ground and flanking. Here both were at play assuring the end of phalanx superiority.
Impressive as always.!
Thanks Rick!
This is so cool!!! Can you make the samnite wars or the battle of Actium next?
never done fleet battles yet. Could give it a try in the future.
@@AdituLaudisMMXXI I think it could be cool
There is a historical report from a Roman General, stating that the only thing he fears, is the Macedonian Phalanx.

Are you using Adobe After effect for animating tactical formations?
No

They didn’t have access to enough cavalry, it wasn’t a tactical choice.
@jbatts834 Why didn't the cavalry they did have do nothing?
How do you have massive units like that? is this mod or pack file manager?

What game is this plss
I've never seen or heard of a phalanx deployed in a triple line before, and I don't see the point. Was this normal?
Looking for historical verification that Romans of that period used only a single rider, with no "castle" atop. 40 of likely smaller N. African decent or an extinct Asian specie
In checking further, it seems that battle of Pydna had 22 Elephants against the Greeks /And 2 to six riders, depending on size of animal and equipment. Up to 600 pounds (not a lot)
How effective were the phalanx at crushing the Roman front line though? Wasn't it hard for the Romans to fight through the multiple piercing spikes while sustaining low losses?
@@GeorgE-yo5yc it was devastating. If the Phalanx remained united nothing could stop it from the front. But it lost its cohesion due to the terrain.

А сколько римлян погибло в той битве?
Persons was no Alexander.
Саша Македонский совершил ошибку. Не рассмотрел Римскую империю и не дал команду её раздавить.
Я так понимаю что утроение численности манипул, показаных в ролике, сделана, чтобы отряды в игре не начали драпать раньше времени.))
