Everyone skips the second day half of the 2nd panic war until Hannibal is forced.to go back to Africa. Criminal underappreciation for Hannibal's later years in Rome.
It is super hard to believe that the Romans lost that many ships by storms, it just feels extremely unlucky for them. It's more likely that there were battles of some sort where they lost.
And Here I am full circle, Need more content. I will be waiting. One bit of roman/greek history I don't remember hearing a lot about is the colonies on the black sea, which could segway into the Amazonians. Roman trade with India is also interesting. Keep up the good work.
@@MagistraVitae Are you planning to stop at 476? Or is there any chance that you might continue to 1453? I really love the Byzantine period of Roman history
@@MagistraVitae you should go to 1204 Or lastly you could atleast go to 486 with the last western fragment of Rome the kingdom of sossions. Ofc if you can go to 1453!!!!
i have always been skeptical about the excistance of Xanthippus, he suddenly appears, wins a battle, and suddenly disappears, does not make any sense, Roman sources may have had an incentive to depict the Carthaginian victory over the Romans at Tunis as something that could only have happened with outside help, also i want to add the sheer number of sea storms is unbelivable, i like to thik that they lost some sea battles and totally shifted the narrative, again who knows.
I doubt Xanthippus was just a Roman invention. Although the Romans did revere the Greeks, they had no trouble crediting the Carthaginian generals for their other defeats. We should note that the early writers (such as Polybius) had access to Carthaginian sources that are now lost to history, and he wasn't writing from the purely Roman perspective. Same goes for the storms. You shouldn't be surprised at all that the Romans lost so many ships. The Mediterranean sea was perilous for any ancient ship, let alone the one full of troops and booty. Now add the corvus to this already unstable vessel, and you have a recipe for disasters. Back in these days the Mediterranean was too dangerous to cross during the winter, and virtually all sea activities were shut down. Now you can see that a sudden summer storm (that were not infrequent at all) would spell a disaster for the whole Roman fleet. On the other hand, we know that the ancient sources can't be fully thrusted and we should certainly ask these questions - but I'm afraid that we will never truly know the answers.
29:10 Rome be like Carthage: Now stand aside worthy adversary Rome: Tis but a scratch Carthage: A scratch? Your entire fleet sank! Twice! Rome: No it didnt Carthage: Well then whats that Rome: ....I've had worse Carthage: You liar! Rome: Come on ya pansy!
This will be the series that i will make my son/daughter to watch in the future, hopefully that time will come and the series will come to an end until the fall of the western roman empire! ❤
Man I wonder how life as an ancient antiquity marine was like. Like if you drop in the water, can you swim? Can you survive? Were they lighter armoured? Was there hope when your ship capsized? Do many questions...
So I've heard the whole "Romas had no idea how to build/use a navy and had to use Carthegenia designs" is mostly seen as a gross exaggeration since their "allied" powers certainly knew how. Rome probably just called on them for anytime that they needed fleets or ships before this point. This was just the first war where Rome herself had to have a fleet. So they had plenty of people in their empire that knew how to make ships and sail them. Which they certainly called on in their great ship building programs.
Great video! Unrelated to the topic but I've had this in my mind, I hope that if one day you touch on the Marian reforms you also touch on the modern historiographic view that they weren't a set of defined, discrete reforms that can be easily attributed to Marius, with some of them seemingly being actual inventions (like his establishment of a professional army, cited often as part of the factors leading to the fall of the Republic) I don't think I've seen that many people acknowledge this at all
Rome: ah thank you Syracus for your precious help, we would have never won this without you. Syracus: don’t mention it, we’ll always have each other back from now on. Right? Rome:… Syracus: why are you looking at me wierdly?
babe wake up, new magistra vitae just dropped
Oversimplified needs to hurry up, before Vitae does the whole Second Punic War first.
Lol
He did the second Punic war. Did he finish the war ? Or is there suppose to be more parts
@@spoon2537 yep, it’s going into part 3.

@@spoon2537 Part two ended at Hannibal's peak at Cannae. There were years of fighting after that, which eventually ended in Roman victory of Carthage.
Always listen to the sacred chickens!
The chicken hast foretold!
30 minute episode upload, tomorrow is Thursday(limited school day(yeah, im in high school, wish me luck)), no homework, what is this world!
Good luck! It goes by faster than you think ;)
I wish you a great school year!

Seems so, because with the accounts we have I can only conclude that the Romans were superior at seas, and the punics were simply retarded
High quality content, fan of all your videos... keep up the good work!!!
Thanks, will do!
Have to say I like this pace. nice long videos every few weeks about I subject I am interested in.
And Here I am full circle, Need more content. I will be waiting. One bit of roman/greek history I don't remember hearing a lot about is the colonies on the black sea, which could segway into the Amazonians. Roman trade with India is also interesting. Keep up the good work.
Magistra Viate has uploaded, this day has become great
oouugghhh with the rate this guy uploads, we might actually get a full roman history in our lifetimes lmao.
A couple of years, give-or-take, and we just might!
@@MagistraVitae Are you planning to stop at 476? Or is there any chance that you might continue to 1453? I really love the Byzantine period of Roman history
@betin731 Current plan is to end the series at 476, but that is a long way off, and who can tell what will change by the time we get to that era.

Great video ! I love the small characters. Keep up the amazing work !
Hanno really just sold Carthage in both wars huh
Subing now and rewatching all of Rome.. Great channel..
I absolutely love this channel.
I love these videos so much youve given me a new passion in life
your videos are amazing, im currently watching all of them
pretty cool that we still found evidence of the Ecnomus naval battle, ancient ship rams on the seabed.
why is this channel so underrated
Thanks for the 31 minutes of pure bliss.
Are you going to make the full movie like you did with the Samnite wars? I'd love to watch it all in one go.
Sure will!

Polybius is a reliable historian and he was not roman
Awesome video and such an interesting story of the spartan mercenary general.
YES! MV is back!!
New Magistra Vitae Video?
A good day it is then!
I love this channel
29:10 Rome be like
Carthage: Now stand aside worthy adversary

Love the content man and love the animation style keep up the good work 😁
Thanks for this. Liking this series

All in good time. There is another 100 or so years until Marius comes onto the scene. We will do a deep dive into the reforms as soon as we get there.
I know you're doing Roman history, but I'd like to hear more about the Mercenary War in Carthage.
You might be in luck ;)
your art style really reminds me of scribblenauts. That has to be it cause there's no way the artstyle is just a coincidence.
I have to admit, I have no knowledge of the Scribblenauts.
Damm. It is a coincidence then.@@MagistraVitae
Great video guys keep them coming ❤😊😮
bro might just finish roman history before oversimplified gets to the third
That's a bit of a stretch, by some definitions Roman history goes to the late 15th Century
@@scotandiamapping4549 yuh but still faster than oversimplified
@@scotandiamapping4549 by "some"? For gods sake, the eastern roman empire was also roman, why is it so hard to understand.
@@ldubt4494 no I understand that the Eastern Empire was also Roman, I just believe the Empire proper ended at the 4th Crusade
@@ldubt4494 also unfortunately there ARE people who say that it ends in 476
Fun fact, and this is according to a certain point of view, Regulus fought a dragon.
Craziest conflict in all of history.
Just insane
Love it!
10:01 11:56 20:07 Carthaginians secretly had some storm calling warlocks in their camp...
is this an empire earth reference?
@@nathac487 now we know those prophets do summon storms in real life
the gods be praised! magistra vitae has uploaded, fear makes a home in our enemies hearts
Epic tail thanks
is this the same guy that made the 'Eastern front animated' series? sounds the same
Damn the Barcads really were done dirty by Hanno. Hanno is the reason carthage lost in both wars
Rome: ah thank you Syracus for your precious help, we would have never won this without you.
Syracus: don’t mention it, we’ll always have each other back from now on. Right?
Rome:…
Syracus: why are you looking at me wierdly?
Well, to be fair, Syracuse changed sides. It usually pays to stay loyal to Rome.
@ tell that to Gaul and Boudicca.
How long will this series keep going? Hoping to see the Siege of Constantinople in 5 years
Hopefully one day 🙏
In the battle of panormus it’s hard for me to believe they had 142 war elephants hahaha
This is very niceus
