Hey guys please don't comment saying " ITS CAVALRY NOT CALVARY", or your comment will just be removed. I know historically speaking this battle had a large fog, but for the sake of your viewing pleasure and the video I recorded the battle without too much fog as you wouldn't have been able to see anything otherwise. Hope you enjoy the video
Hannibal gets my vote as the greatest military leader of all time. How he pulled off victory after victory against the Romans, who had an advantage in all regards from technology to manpower, is beyond impressive.
Romans did not have advantage,roman army of 3rd century BC was mostly made of non-professional conscripts, and led by ambitious politicians who did not need to have any military experience to lead an army. Hannibals army was veteran one from Iberia who had professional officer corps, and used combined arms tactics (combination of infantry and cavalry and ranged units, while romans were mostly massive infantry with weak cavalry and no dedicated ranged units).They also had advanced metallurgy. Hannibals army in the beginning of war was simply better than anything that romans could throw at him at that point so it's no wonder that he won battles, Romans would resort to fabian strategy and observe and copy hannibals tactics and adapt to them during forward stages of war. That was gratest roman strength, adaptiveness and ability to learn from mistakes. They did have manpower advantage, that one is correct. Source: Adrian Goldsworthy: The fall of Carthage: The Punic wars
No he wasn't at all, the Roman's just kept making the same mistakes in battles against Hannibal which is easy to plan for. As soon as the Roman's changed tactics they smashed Hannibal.
Amazing that with all his brilliance Hannibal was never able to deliver the knockout blow to Rome, Despite several monumental defeats the Romans were always able to pick themselves up and keep fighting
That was the true strength of Rome. Not just their adaptability and general military might, but their tenacity and the will to fight to the bitter end.
Hannibal wasn't able to finish the Romans off because 1- Carthage didn't fully support him( Hanno the great for instance) 2- Carthaginians were pretty much terrible at other fronts, most importantly Iberia. As Hannibal kept winning in Italian peninsula, other commanders kept losing. Sardinia could have been easily liberated( or reconquered) by Carthaginians if it wasn't for stupidity of Hiostus to fight in the front ranks instead of commanding it from a safe distance.
The Carthangians, their government, underestimated Rome. Not knowing that by not supporting Hannibal, giving him what he needed to put Rome out of existence, would lead to the destruction of Cathage in the near future. Hannibal warned them.
Absolutely outstanding. I love the fact that so much research has obviously gone into getting the details of arms and armour as accurate as possible. I've always been an ancient warfare fanatic, and everything here looks exactly right for the period. If this was made as a Hollywood movie, they'd have the Romans in iron lorica segmentata that wouldn't appear for another two centuries. God knows how they'd portray the Carthaginians, but I've no doubt it would be equally inaccurate.
He lost the war because he was too busy appeasing his Allies instead of completely destroying Rome. This CGI is good except forces from Africa are all white 😅
@@jasondiggs6740 No, he couldn't destroy Rome. He had neither the supply lines nor the manpower to launch a successful siege of Rome. Getting Roman allies to defect was the only way Hannibal was going to win that war.
@@cormacb2326 He could have gotten the supplies instead of wasting his time roaming around Italy to appease his Allies for 15 damn years. He should have known better to allow a wounded animal to heal filled with vengeance.
Roman soldier: Sir? Why does it sound like 50,000 Carthaginians are charging down the hill towards us? Flaminius: You mean 50,000 Carthaginians are charging right into my trap! WOOAAH!
I read from a good source, it being early in the morning, the Carthaginian army was obscured by fog that shrouded the lake and the heights above the beach the Romans marched along. And that they swept down on the legion from those fog obscured heights and destroyed all, the vanguard only escaped the slaughter because they kept going, fighting their way through.

I guess there are different interpretations re: how this battle was fought, but I have been under the impression it was more a real ambush; that the hilly and tree covered place where Hannibal's army positioned itself was a lot closer to the lake than shown here; that the Romans never had a chance to form up into their usual formations but were almost instantly overwhelmed...Hannibal's men also had the advantage of an early morning mist that helped conceal their presence and aided in the confusion that overwhelmed the Romans...
Excellent work but some crucial things were missing: 1. lack of a low hanging mist that aided the Carthagians with their cover, 2. the Roman vanguard didn't charge into Hannibal's heavy infantry but stumbled upon them literally due to the mist, 3. there was a strong earthquake nearby but the fighting was so fierce that none of the combatants noticed it, 4. some Romans who tried to swim managed to stay afloat, begged for mercy but were killed then and there, 5. lastly, the Roman General Flamminius who was hated by the Gauls had his body ripped to pieces so much so that Hannibal wasn't able to find any trace of the consul to give a proper burial
Hi i use this video as a inspiration for a presentation i just load up rome total war and copied you and just kinda change the narration amd vwala i got a great score thanks to you bro
True enough, Trasimene is accepted by and large to be the largest ambush in recorded military history. An entire Roman Army of around 25,000 men were tracked through fog, attacked from high ground, enveloped, and completely annihilated. 50,000 man ambushing force involving 75,000 overall combatants.
How did you made two armies move simultanuasly in your cinimatic while you was recording? Did you have a partner who plays for roman or carthage side or you made ai move? If it's Ai than how? it's impossible to make ai move in custom battle manually
Hannibal was tactical genius except he refused to March on Rome when it was defenseless. This is why I give him grade B- On the other hand this made Rome even stronger because they have learned from failures of this battle.
Rome was only able to defeat Hannibal after they convinced Hannibal’s Calvary to switch sides and now fight for Rome .If this had never happened then I can’t see Rome ever defeating Hannibal…EVER!!!
@@Ameer-dj5gjExactly ahaha they didnt follow his plan and let Massinissa came back from the chasing attacking Hannibal's rear. Anyway, we cant deny Scipio Africanus is a great general.
The best thing for the infantry to do when attacked by cavalry is to lie on the ground and cut the horses legs off. I'd love to know more about how the armies were fed, clothed and armed. I'm assuming that the victorious armies collected all of the arms and clothing of the losers. Re-supplying 20,000 men with swords, spears, helmets and clothes must require production on an industrial scale. And how do you feed a 20,000 man army?
The local incidents are poorly portrayed in the film. The Romans could not set up a battle formation at all. There was a narrow small corner, where the following Romans were held. I was there 2 times.
Trasummenus was not a battle. The Romans were caught in line of march. They thought what they saw in the far distance was the rear of the Carthaginians that had been pillaging and burning the Etrurian countryside. Thus they rushed to catch them laden with plunder. The Roman force was not any easy prey as they routed the Carthaginian troops that were blockading the farhest end of the road. Had the army have the chance to form in battle the outcome were very different. How could they imagine the troops fleeing from them in the distance far away were in fact at hand hidden in the fog?
Was it hubris or home team advantage that made the Romans so susceptible to Hannibal's tactics? The differene is ultimately psychologial. Hanniabal's intelligence gathering and scouting is palpably superior to the Roman. He understood the martial and political makeup of Rome. The limits of glory are on full display. Easy for me to say but true nonetheless. Maybe if Roman generals deployed their scouts better then perhaps these glaring defeats could have been avoided. I don't believe that as Roman culture had at it's core a naive belief in it's inherant superiority, always a bad sign. Then again, fighting at home against what they might have seen as a ragtag army was the reason for this. All would be imperialist beware. Pride is a leveller of men and armies.
I don't think people really take into account the freaking size that armies were at times like this, etc. 25k is more than a lot of towns in the states these days are.... And to be double 25k is ridiculous and so hard to put everything that took to keep an army that size on the campaign path for the entire duration of the campaign... Logistics must have been so impressive for elite nations such as Rome. Even barbarian nations that were able to match or even out number the size of the Roman armies at times... The amount of food, fresh drinkable WATER, medical supplies, and everything else needed for the massive armies..... Incredible

Splendid! I would absolutely love to see upcoming episodes featuring more battles from Hannibal, and hopefully even the legendary battles of Caesar!
Rome vs Assyrian Empire
An amazing battle - some say history's greatest ambush of an entire army. Well done.
Still the largest ambush in military History, Hannibal truly was a master.
Hannibal gets my vote as the greatest military leader of all time. How he pulled off victory after victory against the Romans, who had an advantage in all regards from technology to manpower, is beyond impressive.
Agreed but I think he’s tied with Caesar
For me it napoleon or maybe Alexander the Great
@@WarAndHistory. I think Caesar is absolutely superior.
Has ANYONE here heard of Belisarius???

Remarkable CGI. People keep upping their game. I think the older the wars were, the more physically painful.
This isn’t CGI it’s a video game

Agreed, its a draw between him and Caesar
Tactically yes, strategically no.

Hannibal was indeed the greatest of his generation
Scipio Africanas
What is magnificant is not the scale of the victory for Hannibal, but the fact that he still managed to lose the war.
Due to Rome being much more able to recruit and ship around new amies than Carthege...
He lost the war because he was too busy appeasing his Allies instead of completely destroying Rome. This CGI is good except forces from Africa are all white 😅

Excellent work but some crucial things were missing:
1. lack of a low hanging mist that aided the Carthagians with their cover,
2. the Roman vanguard didn't charge into Hannibal's heavy infantry but stumbled upon them literally due to the mist,
3. there was a strong earthquake nearby but the fighting was so fierce that none of the combatants noticed it,
4. some Romans who tried to swim managed to stay afloat, begged for mercy but were killed then and there,
5. lastly, the Roman General Flamminius who was hated by the Gauls had his body ripped to pieces so much so that Hannibal wasn't able to find any trace of the consul to give a proper burial

Love how the javelins fly as fast as arrows.
This video taught me a lesson of never listen to a hot-headed, ruthless and arrogant general like Flaminius, unless my general is Julius Caesar.

Great battle Shame Hannibal eventually lost the war
Lake Trastamine may be the largest ambush battle ever (according to Historia Civilas)
indeed
it probably is..This is much a larger scale than Tuetoberg Forest.

Pity that in original Rome 2 there's no more historical battles than 8.
