If has so why arabian paninsula has no simbal of o.t.t.o simbal? because arabian paninsula is a vassal paninsula of mighty OTTOMAN EMPIRE? in many vidio there is no simbal of ottomans or green line like Walasia Moldava.

      @@luisromanlegionaire Skirmishers could be effective at keep cavalry at bay, but only if they have a solid wall of infantry to protect them. After all, if a man is being charged by a horse and rider and all he has is a sling to defend himself he will (very sensibly) run away as far as possible. In this particular battle, more skirmishers may well have been able to fend off some of the Numidian attacks, at least for a while. I'm not sure it would have been enough to save the battle, however. The Numidians were exceptional horsemen and had the Roman's were surrounded and outnumbered. Slingers and other skirmishers may have prolonged the inevitable, but I think that the infantry still would have broken, in which case the skirmishers would have followed soon after. But to be fair, no one can say for sure. Perhaps if Curio had a larger skirmisher contingent he could have made a fighting withdrawal and lived to fight another day!
      As for the bola, so far as I know no European people's ever thought of the idea, I think it's only ever been used in the Americas. Though the Romans didn't use bolas, they did occasionally use caltrops, basically spiked metal strewn on the ground, to prevent cavalry charges.

    I was also one of the viewers cheering for Curio, his initial actions were very impressive, especially when he gave a speech to calm the minds of his troops, and dealt a great defeat to Varus.If only Curio had to face shame atleast just this once, saved himself, and learnt from it he could have probably challenged the second triumvirate, and even proved to be an more troublesome opponent to Octavian. It shows he is willing to prove himself, what if he had that flame of redemption in his heart after one mistake, he could probably changed the history of the entire Roman world, that fact that he did not shows why our history is the way it were, but it's really a great thought to give, what if?

    I've read somewhere that upon surrendering, the remaining soldiers of Curio were executed by Juba as an example despite assurances made by Varus. Also, Juba took control of Utica and was named King of Numidia by the Republican senators of Pompey and as a public enemy by the senate controlled by Caesar.

      @Arti Though, wouldn't it still be better to also carry a bow and arrow just to weaken the enemy before a charge? Would give them more options, improve their odds off winning and put the enemy in a defensive mindset before fighting even starts..
      Also, if you see melee units coming at you, you would be unprepared for any arrows suddenly fired by them. And if you know that the enemy may have ranged weapons, you may be reluctant to charge at them at full speed.
      I just can't see why every single unit doesn't also carry a 'cheap & light' ranged weapon, any costs would surely be outweighed by the lower casualties from weakened enemy formations, and the occasional opportunity gained at a ranged ambush, for example.

    • @Vractis
      @Vractis 4 роки тому +21

      @Arti That's not the real reason. The real reason is that bow technology just wasn't that good back in this era. Bows had no advantages against slings, which had greater range and were more lethal during this age, nor did they have advantages against javelins, which were extremely effective at close range, exactly you suggested.

    • @theblackswordsman9951
      @theblackswordsman9951 4 роки тому +23

      Warrior Monk Can't believe every answer so far. They didn't use them because they are harder to make than javelins (literally just a stick with a point) and much harder to train people to use. With javelins you just have to throw them and thus skirmishes were just equipped with that. Archers took months and even years to learn how to effectively shoot with a bow and arrow.

  • @Bishey
    @Bishey 4 роки тому +195

    It's always interesting to me how many times Caesar (and Curio in this instance) chooses to use a limited portion of their forces when going into unknown territories. I always hear about how they leave X amount of legions behind, sometimes as much as half of their forces. I guess they didn't see war as just a numbers game and they were confident in their tactics and military superiority. Alas, Curio was no Caesar it seems. Even though he barely made any mistakes in his campaign, one over-commitment was all it took.

    • @rotciv1492
      @rotciv1492 4 роки тому +80

      I guess it is because managing a force of 20k is several times easier than managing a force of 40k. And in this case there are tons of factors.
      -The troops being mostly raw recruited.
      -The lack of veteran centurions for those troops.
      -The supply.
      -The necessity of keeping an army on a recently pacified territory.
      -The information about the pompeyans lack of soldiers...

      You mean two unverified intel sources that led to the over-commitment. Over-confidence and over-enthusiasm has costed many lives. When Caesar moved with smaller forces it was always to seize the initiative, and almost always with veteran troops. And he almost never under-estimated his enemy. Curio's death was noble nonetheless.

If anything, he should have secured the supply line better and he could have given them armed escorts with a Quick Reaction Force in the waiting to ensure they could stay defensive.

    I know that battles alone do not history make, but I am SO glad you're doing another battle episode. I like your broader historical documentaries too, but I need more videos like this. We all do! Honestly, if you could put at least one or two sections into every video where little rectangles go at each other with verve and personality, I might just forgive God for a lot of things (not making me a centaur, for example).

    Something I really like about Ceasar's Civil War is the skill of the generals. It's less defined by arrogance and/or incompetence than other wars covered on KnG. They're usually more careful, methodical and experienced here vs the rash nature of a lot of fresher commanders in other wars and eras.

    Great continuation of the Caesa-Pompey Civil War.
    Amazing turn of events between Curio & Varus in North Africa. Indeed, never say never!.. Only the mighty Caesar could find himself in any sort of situation (ones of great disadvantage too, sometimes) and still find a brilliant way out each time.. Curio simply played overconfidently at the end, maybe because he daydreamed of being like Caesar or something, and was utterly destroyed together with his whole legion/s. What a shame 😭
    Anyway, fantastic stuff !!!
    Keep up the hard work please, K&G.
    Really looking forward to hearing from you how things unfold in Greece.
    Thanks a lot 🤗

I always thought when Julius made Pompei flee to Greece with the senate that he immediately pursued them... I didn't know that he went to Spain & fought battles, then at Massila & in North Africa before sailing to Greece.
