In the last 2-3 days I watched all of your videos with the history of Rome. They are so damn good, your videos really teach me something. I still cannot believe that you have only 13k subscribers. Keep up the good work, brother! You won a new subscriber
@@ganome4995 Even then, I don't see contemporary writers proclaiming the Punic Wars "a war to end all war." They were bigger than the Greco-Persian Wars but still within the ballpark, and they don't quite hold a candle on the Three Kingdoms Wars if we're just talking ancient carnage. You'd have to throw all three together and condense them into mere decades for an ancient scholar to describe them with the same intensity, scope and significance as World War 2. There's just nothing else like it in human history.
lmao a world war without china, india, or even americas. Tell me you're eurocentric without telling me you're eurocentric. Either that, or this is a mere attempt to glorify roman victory over Carthage.
im tempted to start using your videos as material to help remember roman history for JCL events. I cant state enough how fun and educational your videos are!
3:23: "Hamilcar, Hannibal and Hasdrubal crossed into Iberia" Meanwhile the animation: Hamilcar, Hannibal and Hasdrubal unlocked the secret ability to walk across the Sea
P.S this is obviously a joke, the characters "walking" across the Mediterranean Sea doesn't take away from the video in any way, I just thought it was funny
Hey man just got off another long shift a couple hours ago it was a sunday weekend shift at the factory and i was studying aswell i didnt see that you uploaded when i did i was so happy my girlfriend was comcerned due to me jumping up and down while we were out for a smoke with one another i am happy to see you again my good friend Kindest regards - Axel
@@MagistraVitaemy friend you have my thanks your channel may be small but you have the same love for history as i do and that is much grander than any number on youtube
At this rate, you’re going to finish the second Punic war before historyMarche. I’ve been avoiding all accounts of the second Punic war because I don’t want to spoil it in a sense I guess?? But I’ve given up on that now once you release yours, I will happily watch that. Kings and Generals is also doing the second Punic war as a member series
Wasn't the original delegation that Rome sent to Carthage about their expansion into Spain restricting Roman influence/presence above the Ebro river? Didn't Rome violate that treaty/delegation with Saguntum?
Yes, the original treaty with Hasdrubal would put Saguntum inside the Carthaginian sphere of influence. Roman desire to use Saguntum as a foothold in Iberia is what sparked the Second Punic War. We will go more in depth on this point in our future videos.
5:28 Rome had no holdings in modern day France, yet they demand Carthage to stay out of that area. Probably Rome already had their sight set on modern day French land at that point...
The Romans had a friendly relationship with Greek colonies north of Ebro. That is primarily why they chose that river as a boundary. The Romans first had to conquer Cisalpine Gaul, before even thinking about France.
I dont remember how exactly my professor explained the breakdown but his theory was that the 2nd punic war had more impact on Gaul than caesars conquest. Via a massive population and wealth influx. Like short haired Gaul does not exist without the 2nd punic war and that in Caesars conquest Vercengetorex and his Arverni was one of the only Short Haired Gauls that were committed against rome.
Some people were complaining about music, so we tried to some classical music. It's somewhat hard to balance out the music and voiceover (I'm not a good sound guy sadly)
The Roman’s really screwed themselves by propping Carthage up during the mercenary war. They could have avoided the loss of Roman lives in the second Punic war if they sided with the rebelling mercenaries instead.
Hamilcar died in an ambush Hasdrubal (son-in-law) died in an ambush *Hmmm* I hope another family member of the Barcids won't die in another ambush in the forseeable future 😅
The numbers of the armies seem pretty overexaggerated for some of these battles. Like at 14:27 there's surely no way the Romans just casually deployed an army of 106400 men, many people seem to agree that the biggest roman army at the time was at the battle of Cannae at around 80k men. Of course I doubt I know nearly as much as you, but I don't understand how your numbers are so large. Love these videos though, might I add.
Number of soldiers in ancient armies should always be taken with a grain of salt. It often the case that ancient historians inflate the numbers to make certain victories more impressive. We try to make this point clear through this series. For some battles we have several sources and we can compare them to reach the consensus. But, for some battles (like this one) there is only one source, and we have to report their numbers. It should be noted, however, that Polybius is more reliable than many others.

A video to surpass Civitae's little colored squares. I have learned to love brutally chibi Hellenistic history.
The algorithm has unlocked this hidden gem of a channel! more to feed my romaboo addiction!!!
You and Ancient Sight need more views / subscribers. The history community needs to get over here
Much love from South Africa. Wishing you thousands of subscribers dude. Excellent work
If you think about it, this was basically the World Wars, but Antiquity.
Compared to the World Wars, this is the West Mediterranean Scuffles
@@SamBourgeoisits all about relative scale though. For the people alive during this time, these wars are on a massive scale.

the closest is the Diadochi Wars. This war was stuck in the Western and Central Med. The Diadochi was across the whole known civilized world

I have enjoyed seeing this channel grow over the past couple of years. Cannot wait for the Second Punic War to be covered next!
im going to binge all of these videos in a year or two and still find them gold
8 minutes?! Holy shit the last time I was this early Carthage still had hopes of winning the punic wars.
Babe wake up magistra vitae dropped a new video
Love the videos, wish i could bingewatch more but ive already watched everything!

Još jedan superb video brate svaka čast!
Queen Teuta, had never heard of her before. Interesting character.
12:58 The angry horses return, lol.

Awesome video bro, keep it up!

@@MagistraVitae I forgot Greek colonies were everywhere...
3:47 No way the carthaginians minted Real Betis Balompié silver coins
Hamilcar said "Viva er Beti manque pierda", and I think that is beautiful.

I wonder how that young fellow Hannibal will fair against the Romans Strategically
7:01 things just never change in the Balkans do they
Great video as usual. Music was a little distracting though. I think your old sound track was better.
Some people were complaining about music, so we tried to some classical music. It's somewhat hard to balance out the music and voiceover (I'm not a good sound guy sadly)
@@MagistraVitae I get ya. No worries. I'm sure you'll work it out. Keep up the good work.
The Roman’s really screwed themselves by propping Carthage up during the mercenary war. They could have avoided the loss of Roman lives in the second Punic war if they sided with the rebelling mercenaries instead.
They wanted the indemnities they were promised more than future security against an enemy they'd recently defeated.
I mean, to be fair to the romans, the mercenaries probably would have started even more civil wars, or just get crushed or paid off in the future
Nice monty python reference.
Guys he's beating Oversimplified to it
This video made my day
THE GOAT 🐐🐐
YES!
Hamilcar died in an ambush
Hasdrubal (son-in-law) died in an ambush
*Hmmm* I hope another family member of the Barcids won't die in another ambush in the forseeable future 😅
Psssst 😉🤫
I suggest maybe colouring roman allies a slightly different red, so we know who is an actual roman, vs ally
