    (Please read)
    Notes:
    - Appreciation : First of all, I would like to thank my buddies from Kings and Generals team , Cogito and Tristan Hughes for helping me out with this video !
    - Battles of Asculum and Heraclea minor mistake : I forgot to mention the sources are conflicted regarding the battles and casualties. As mentioned, this video chose the account of Dionysius for simplicity but there are other accounts such as Plutarch,Poseidonius and Hieronymus recorded differently regarding these battles. (Thanks to Parmenion for pointing that out)
    - Roman-Samnite Wars lasted 8 years at 1:51 actually refers to the third Roman-Samnite Wars 298BC - 290BC. Apology for the confusion.
    - Roman Augustan Scutum shield minor mistake at 3:08 : I just realized there is an imperial Scutum laying around. Damn you ROME II engine !
    There will be more documentaries like this in the future so please do subscribe and stay tuned :-)
    Thank you for watching.
    Best wishes,
    Malay Archer.

    Pyrrhus' case is a sad one , he was a great general , thought by Hannibal to be the best in the world , and an Even better king , however , now he will forever be known as "the guy that inspired the term pyrrhic victory" , a shame

    One of my favorite ancient battles. Proved that the phalanx could go toe to toe with the much more flexible legions if the commander wasn’t incompetent. But this doesn’t change the fact that the legion was still Superior in every way. The fact that the legion could fight on any terrain made it lethal to any Greek army.

    For you Albanians & Slavs, please take notice that in this documentary Epirus is referred to as a Greek Kingdom, similar to Macedonia in that it was not a Polis, but rather a Region with cities that recognized a King. By virtue of Pyrrhus being recognized as a 2nd cousin to Alexander the Great, the inescapable reality is that Alexander indeed was Greek also. Do you know why? Because the producer,
    Malay Archer bases its work on facts not propaganda BS.

    Did the shield bearers eventually disappear from the Phalanx formation in later Greek armies or were they just replaced by peltasts or other units? I've read/watched accounts of Greek vs Roman wars and it's usually always a flank maneuver into the sides of the phalanx and I don't seem to hear much of the shield bearers. You and others give the impression that Pyrrhus kept his flanks secure whereas I don't get the feeling others after him did so.

    Where are you getting sources that the Hastati and Principes at this time were using swords? This is long before they adoption of the gladius, which didn't occur until the Second Punic War from my understanding. They likely hadn't come in contact with the falcata yet, and while they probably would have known about the kopis, I don't know of anything saying they used those yet either. Particularly as this is before the conquest of northern Italy, where they seem to have gotten the understanding of superior steelcraft from the Gauls. Not saying you are wrong, just wondering if you have some specific source.

    • @MalayArcher
      @MalayArcher  6 лет назад

      Originally, I was planning to write about early manipular legion (primarily hastati and principes) using spears rather than swords during Pyrrhic War unfortunately I couldn't find the exact source about that. As for the source i am using, I read from Joanne Berry and Nigel Pollard's The Complete Roman Legions book where they wrote about Manipular legions but they didn't state what weapons they used during the early maniple phase.
      My apologies if I made a mistake.

    • @Nick-hi9gx
      @Nick-hi9gx 6 лет назад +1

      @@MalayArcherI don't know that it is a mistake, it is really difficult to say when swords started being used by the legions as a regular weapon. By the point of the Pyrrhic Wars the equipment of the legions was PROBABLY still spears with some swords here and there, but not the norm. But I haven't ever found anything that really definitively states when the gladius started to be used, or if there were swords used before them. Logically, we can assume that it was a gradual thing, my guess would be sometime between 250-210-ish.

    Consider that Alexander the Great(not the epirote Alexander the Molossian before Pyrrhos) didnt stand face to face a Roman like organized, equally sized heavy infantry(we can call it western style army), therefore Pyrrhos was as great as Alexander, clever strategos(he could siege Rome but he reserved his people's life from cut off) and greatest tactician in his time because he can manoveur around his solid phalanx and he was able to change formations for better, more favourable advantages in the battlefield.

    I was actually surprised that the phalanx suffered so many casualties. It seems that the romans were at least equal when fighting the phalanx head on. Am I mistaken?

    If I saw a bunch of armored elephants charging me in the middle of a battle, I'd run TOO! Lol. That's a complete a total, "Fuck this shit I'm going home!" kind of moment. Lol That's probably what the romans thought. And they had NEVER even seen elephants before! They must have been absolutely horrified at those angry, massive giant BEASTS charging towards them!

    A phalanx is very strong from the front and vulnerable from the flanks. If in neither of these 2 battles the phalanx was flanked how did they manage to suffer so heavy losses?

    • @fireeraser2206
      @fireeraser2206 6 лет назад +2

      Roman infantry was well protected and disciplined so they were able to close the gap to the phalanx (although rather high losses) and thus make sarissa very ineffective.

    • @kanidedas
      @kanidedas 5 лет назад

      I see. considering the elephants were able to outflank the romans creating heavy loses I think the romans would have won a purely front to front battle, something I wouldnt expect against a well trainned phalanx.

    • @cliffordjensen8064
      @cliffordjensen8064 3 года назад +1

      If I had to guess, Javelin volleys disrupted the pike phalanx allowing the Romans to close with their short swords which gave them the advantage.

    What strikes me,is the decreased quality of the hellenistic cavalry! Where are the Companions of Alexander ? I’m well aware that the roman cavalry is not near as bad as we constantly hear,but should not be as great as the hellenistic.

    The only unfortunate thing for pyrrhus was the lack of men.. He was not the general of a more populated region such as Macedonia to replenish his men and phallangites... Otherwise he could defeat Rome in longterm battles... He made good movements after heraclea exploiting Roman's defeat by Invading rome but he had no the adequate menpower.. Great General like Alexander with abilities and knowing exactly how to use Macedonian army tactics.

    The video looks excellent. I think your commentary could use some work. Specifically on pronunciations. Also, the video just looks like Kings and Generals did the whole thing. Maybe consider getting your own style of video otherwise you'll just look like a copycat of Kings and Generals. Good luck.
