Hello
Your voice is nice for explanation. Please make videos on underrated indian battles as you have done before.
I swear your voice has made for EPIC history reading! Thank you for making these awesome videos! ♥
Where Is Arabic Caption? Your Last Videos in only English
Something so funny about these serious youtubers promoting these garbage ass games.
Pharnaces: "I have defeated Rome! I am invincible!"
Ceasar: "Allow me to introduce myself."
it's like that undertaker meme
Should have learned from Hannibal that one needs to defeat multiple Roman armies and then loose. (though tbf that did change after army became professional)
Caesar: "You have defeated only 2 legions and you.....Next!"
@@men8212 Calling good or bad guys to either side in History is childish. They were men with political interest, some more honourable, some more ruthless. Nothing more, nothing less.
Fue Sila
Ceasar : goes chasing pompey
Pharnaces : its free real estates
Ceasar : allright a***hole 😤 ........veni vidi vici....
I’m glad I have something nice to watch after getting screwed on an exam!
I'm watching a day before exam .
@Zilectツ I wish! Even for being a technical major I still have a huge soft spot for history and global politics.
LMAO SAME
Math is hard bruh
@@bladfadsfblaadsfsadf900 well play to your strengths, go to night school, college or uni and study what you like you would be surprised where life could take you
Damn, that’s one way to get an A I guess
Pontus: You underestimate my power!
Rome: Don’t try it.
lol
Pontus: You underestimate my power!
Rome: No. We don't.
Pontus: I gave Caesar a fatal blow by denying him his reinforcements!
Caesar: *after winning in Alexandria* The rumors of my death have been extremely... exaggerated.
Pontus: You undersestimate my power, Rome.
Caesar: I am not those men. I am Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar
I have the high ground
This is the first comment to make me laugh out loud in a while.
dam, camps are more detailed.
but not camps but the whole battle is detailed.
Nice work.
Omg my heart dropped when I thought the 36th was going to be wiped out. Amazing
Yeah me too
Have no fear for the 36th is here ..
Agreed! A testament to how well the video is produced.
You guys need to get out more
@@stinknugget6446 Yeah... probably :)
I’m so used to seeing Roman legions of this period being virtually unstoppable in the open field that I was almost shocked to see that Pontus won the day.
I was shouting at the screen with my armchair tactics when the left made a feeble push lol. Although I bet like me, you were impressed with the 36th's retreat. I though they were done.
As the video mentions this shows the difference between experienced and new legions, despite having the same equipment.
The Romans were pretty much constantly expanding their empire and had lots of veteran legions, which gave them a huge advantage against the armies of smaller countries that would mainly field inexperienced troops.
@@Thraim. yeah, experience is a massive factor. And even only decent Roman generals usually carefully cultivated experience in their armies.
The Silvershields made a similar tactical retreat after their side broke and fled...in one of the Diadochi Wars. A unit made up of veterans all over the age of 60. These were individuals who received a Silvershield for performing in battle, under Alexander having been in about 50 battles with Alexander, and then some more in the more than 30 years of constant warfare that followed Alexander's death. They weren't just veterans. They were elite individuals who became hardcore veterans and put into a single unit.
These guys were the very definition of hardened veterans. Unstoppable on a battlefield and feared by even those they fought for.
These old geezers calmly formed a sqaure, cut their way out of envelopment and professionally marched off the battlefield like they owned it. Untouchable.
Antigonus feared them and had their commanders, Antigenes and Teutamus, killed...after having took hostage their baggage train, that contained their families and more than 40 years worth of loot. And then sent them in small groups on suicide missions to kill them off.
Probably the most hardcore group of men to ever set foot on any battlefield.
@@LawlTwins The unbelieveable cohesion and discipline it must have taken for those men to retreat in the manner they did.... probably the single most impressive unit action I’ve ever seen
@@tylerdurden3722 Great. Tell us more about achievements of greek armies in a Roman related video.
Ιnfantry charging cavarly oh boy Parthians would be like ohh brother
Used to not like the overly-dramatic voice, but have come to love and expect it now. Great vids.
It's awesome but I wonder what happened to the previous narrator? I loved his narrative and tone, he didn't acknowledge the existence of full stop.
Had the exact same thing!
@@LiveinReykjavik i preferred the previous narrator as well. in fact, he was probably my favorite narrator for anything i've watched on youtube. the current narrator is perfectly fine though. i imagine he is no longer featured in videos on this channel for something related to money. that is generally the square root of nearly everything in this world.
@@LiveinReykjavik i loved this voice it epic
I still don't like this one. He puts equal dramatic emphasis on everything. He clearly doesn't know what he's reading.
The 36th Legion is admirable for retreating in such an organised fashion under that kind of assault.
Lmao yeah, I thought the legion was doomed, but when I saw them organize themselves into a circle and fucking dash off I was really impressed
The Late Republican Legions were f*cking war machines, it is they who cemented the republic into an Empire, led by Pompey and Ceasar and Augustus and their officers alike.
@Tj battle "HARDENED"
From what i read, it's very likely that the 36th legion were at half strength. Most veteran legions pre-Augustus(pre-empire), were at half strength, unlike the imperial era legions which were manned at full strength when possible.
This is cus pre-imperial legions would disband when they reached old age, sometimes colonies are formed in conquered/unstable regions.
And, during caesar's time, there was no restriction in the number of legions being raised. Whereas in imperial rome, agustus capped it at around 22 legions.
@@MrJacobkoh 28 till Varian disaster, then 25. It was later raised again to lower thirties.
You guys have, by far, the best map animations in the biz. Kudos
The similarity between the 1396 battle and the 48 BC battle was that History Marche excelled in both
Holy crap i thought the Romans would win. The Pontic cavalry was poorly utilized and put in a very disadvantageous position, as soon as they routed and when the Elite Legionaries came upon the Pontic troops from the rear i thought the battle was sealed. 😮 Respect to the Pontics for withstanding the onslaught. Though Pharnaces II's brilliance of digging ditches was perhaps the key factor overall.
Awwwww YISS! I came back from a lesson and saw your video: that's what I litteraly cried out seeing it xD
Haven't watched it yet, but I know it'll be good, thanks for the joy you bring me and so many people on a weekly basis
I remember Pontus. Dark blue faction on the Anatolia. Spammed scythe chariots and slaughtered my infantry. Nightmare fuel, they were.
In which game
Rome total war (the first game) im guessing
Those effing scythes...
@@Croydondebruyne I thought rome total war part two
Ahistoric factions, and Pontus was easily beaten. Try Europa Barbarorum 2.
Pharnaces:We did it we made Pontus great again!
Caesar:Veni, Vidi, Vici
Love these Hoc Est Bellum collabs! The dude (Hoc) has absolutely lovely maps, best in the biz. I just wish he would get himself a narrator because damn is it hard to tell what he's saying. Not because of his accent, either. I feel like that's a big part of what keeps his channel from getting views.
Thank you very much for your encouragement, i really appreciate it!
Yes, i was hoping that my accent wasn't that thick and i also thought, "well what the heck, Arnold made huge Hollywood hits with a thick Austrian accent.."
haha!
But indeed, the narration part is as tricky as the rest of the video making procedure and probably more difficult to improve upon.
@@hocestbellumchannel Dont listen to him, i am not a native speaker but i understand you perfectly, i dont use subtitles.
Good job on the narration.
@@mojewjewjew4420 your accent is just fine
Now my favorite you tube channel.
So much I never knew til this channel. great work
Glad you enjoy it!
Awesome as always
Thank you so much 😀

Brother, what software do you use for editing?
You have such nice dramatic voice, that perfektly fit in your videos. Keep it on.
Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks for an excellent video!

underappreciated channel
Wow thank you. I’d never heard any details of this part, or even heard of this battle I don’t think... but thank you again, because you’ve answered the question I’ve always had of why it took so long for Cesar to be reinforced in Egypt and why it wasn’t really even the Romans who reinforced Cesar and basically saved him... if I’m remembering correctly... but yeah this makes perfect sense now, this is why Cesar went straight from Egypt to Asia Minor, and that’s the king he beat in one day and said his famous “Vini Vidi Vici”... at least that’s what I think is fitting together... someone please correct me if I’m wrong on that
Please , can you make a video explaining where exactly you get all the correct information??? It seems that you know every step made by a general with 100% precision. Is it several historical sources or curiosity streams?:))
De bello Alexandrino, mainly.
@@hocestbellumchannel Nice.
@HistoryMarche what happened to Hannibal,,, please complete his series..We are waiting for him...
Will do
I was looking for something to help me procrastinate today. Thanks!
Happy to help!
I have thought that this is Ottoman battle vs Christians, but it is still great!
I have that battle too. Nicopolis 1396 AD
Part 1 ua-cam.com/video/aPOtNn8GcVY/v-deo.html
Part 2 ua-cam.com/video/WsTKus_7DaE/v-deo.html
Actually that battle was ottoman and Serbs vs the crusaders
I thought this video was going to be about that too. haha
great video
Thanks for the visit
@@HistoryMarche Np and thanks for replying to me
Great UA-cam channel 👍👍
Thank you! 👍
The Pontic cavalry habitually under-performed against the Romans during the important battles.
Well there in not much that cavalry can do against heavy infantry in such a close space
@@stefanosgrimp8990 Sure, but then why deploy them like that? They had other options. I can imagine those poor guys as the Roman pila started coming down on them. The Pontic forces repeatedly had superior cavalry vis-a-vis the Romans but it never seems to deliver unless the odds were overwhelmingly in their favcour.
I wonder why tho? Their neighbors, the Cappadocians were renowned in the ancient world for their impressive cavalrymen and horses
@@mr.c.3760 Not only the Cappadocians, there was plenty of good cavalry in the region and in Pontic service. It is a bit of mystery to me. Similar cavalry at the Battle of Magnesia under Antiochus smashed the Roman left wing.
Their cavalry were usually denied an opportunity to perform against Rome.
Which was usually deliberate on the part of the Romans.
Awesome
Funny thing is , if the pontic cavarly that routed in the beginning came back , they would have an open charge into the rear of the 36th legionnaires and wipe them out 😅
Привет ! Контент годный , очень хороший . анимация и сама подача материала сделаны на 5 , продолжай в том же духе спасибо за труды .
Yesterday ive started a Pontus campaign in Rome Total War 2. Hoplites are anvil, and chariots are hammer ;)
hi great video! ! im pontic ! my ancestors were living in pontus till 1920 when the turkey genocided and killed the most of us! my grandfathers were refuges in ussr till 1960-80 when greece accepted them to greece as greeks due to their history! long live pontus ! we dont forget our history ! we are the last of the east ! the last eastern greek kingdom and the last suporters of vyzantioum in east! we will rise once more and we will pray in AGIA SOFIA !
@*Angelscor* Learn some history. The Armenian genocide was separate from the genocide of the Greeks mentioned by nick19greek. The Turks were the great teachers of genocide at the beginning of the 20th century, committing these two major genocides and a number of smaller ones. A decade or so later, Hitler and Stalin, their pupils, began their own attempts at genocides and mass killings.
Time to watch some squares dance!
Really miss Alexander's narrations :'( nice video tho 👍
For me this channel is gold, they balance the political rome, with the battles so well.
You just don't know the respect I have for when a new video pops up during the work day
I fault Caesar on this as he did not think strategically this one time. He could have not gone to Egypt as Pompey was not going anywhere with no Roman legions under his command. As he was beheaded by the Egyptians, he was no threat to Caesar. Being with Cleopatra was just a romantic interlude as she was no threat to Rome with no real army behind her.
While Calvinus was a loyal general to Caesar, he was also quite incompetent as a field commander. Caesar was the real military genius and with two additional legions that had been sent to Egypt to rescue him, he would have easily defeated any military threat in Asia Minor. Further, he could have also attacked the Parthian Empire to avenge the disaster of Crassus. He was going to do that anyway, once he returned to Rome to attain the position of Dictator for Life. Unfortunately, he was assassinated when he did return to Rome.
I'll wait a little longer until the video is translated 🙂💔
Working on it.
@@HistoryMarche ❤️Thank you
the quality of you work continues to surprise me even after several videos
Wow 👏
This guys voice is half the entertainment
Ursula wants it but she is in the Caspian Sea and Pontus blocks the way.
Pontus, my favorite faction in Rome Total War
I'll never get used to him saying 'Mean-hwhile'
Meanwhile
Pontics fleeing the battlefield is a pretty normal thing by this point. So this must have been surprising as hell for the Romans.
For some reason I always loved playing Pontus in RTW.
Awesome! Love this channel!!!
Thanks so much!
nice
The only Roman legion in Domitius army was the veteran 36th (with numbers depleted due to battles and toils and consisting less than 3000 soldiers) the rest were 2 legions of Deiotarus made from local recruits and trained in Roman fashion and one newly recruited one. However the 2 ditches in the video were not across the battlefield but parallel with each other and stretching from the city to the battlefield. Pharnaces placed his cavalry outside the ditches on his wings and his infantry between the ditches. The 36th repulsed and routed the enemy on the right wing and crossed the ditch to attack the infantry and started to rout them. All this as per Caesar's 'Civil War' a truly outstanding and captivating reading. Edit: after Caesar subdued Egypt and made it a vassal state he turned against Pharnaces and defeated him. Why not make another video?
THIS IS SOOOO GOOD ANIMATIOOOONNNNNN ONE TIME I TRY TO MAKE SOOMETHING LIKE THIS AND IT WAS SOO BAD xd lol
Nice music near the end... Any links for those?
can you make video on battle of manzikert
Me:sees the title in the notification
Me also: didn't they upload this already
(Just looks to date of the battle and finally realizes it is another one at the same location)
These are actually two different locations. There were several cities that have been named Nikopolis (after Nike, Greek goddess of victory). The original was in Greece, the one from the other video is in Bulgaria, and this one is in Turkey.
@@GrndAdmiralThrawn thanks now I know after watching the battle. I just left the comment before watching but after I looked at the map of this battle you are right it is in present day turkey and the other battle between the ottomans and the crusaders was in present day bulgaria. Thanks again for enlightening me
Narrators name? love this guy!!
I thought it was the battle of Nicopolis in the 14th century and was very confused.
I LOVE this map ;)
Thank you flashpoint!
Man they took the brunt of the foght yet only lost 250 men? Damn
Love this channel! :)
Thanks so much!
I'm the second person to view this, lol this is the earliest I've ever been
#6 here
Tell that to your girlfriend
Didn't even watch it yet, but I know its gonna be great
This sounds like the Baz Battles guy.
Love your work keep it up
3:44 YES MY LAD NOW THAT'S A MAP!!!
So, both Generals were stubborn, both had their minds fixed on their goals in their own way, and both fought for someone else's legacy - Pharnaces II for his father, and D. Calvinus for Caesar.
They're not unsimilar, these two.
The main difference was that Pharnaces II fought for someone already dead. D. Calvinus fought for the finest commander alive at the time, Gaius Julius Caesar.
Props to Calvinus for being cautious but brave enough to try to mount an strategy despite the odds.
Aha! So this is basically the prequel to Hoc Est Bellum's video here: ua-cam.com/video/PXmJc-8RpuI/v-deo.html
Hey my friend
youtube still haven't a good video about mantinea 418 bc and platea 479 bc... 👀
Great video,
i believed (don't know why) who the roman commander here had been killed, but not, he survived other two civil wars,,,
by the ways Pharnaces II won by playing with patience and defending a strong position in the high ground, so what he was thinking at Zela when he do exactly the oposite?,
I Loved It!! 5/5 Stars for impressive visual, outstanding narration, and incredibly beautiful music! From shivers of fright, to almost emotional tears, I've felt so alive during this story to tell.. !! Congratulations on your absolutely remarkable tale of tell. Mother Earth Goddess #Gaia's Divine's Blessing Upon You All!!
Caesar would not engage in s battle like this. He prob will build a wall to encircle the enemy or build another fort on high ground to maneuver around those trenches. Anyway to give himself some advantage.
Great details as always ⚔
05/100 of a state, loses to 90/100 of another.
My favorite channel ever!! Awesome video as always! Love the graphics animator is THE KING! 👑
Thank you so much 😀
As always amazing video, but I do think the map (especially around 3:50) is a bit unclear. Perhaps its my slight color blindness though
i don't see an issue
@@zeriyx I am happy for you. It doesnt change the fact that I, however, still do XD
Very good video. Thanks for the upload!
The content here is just great. Thanks for all your hard work. Also is mithridates Jupiter the famous one, the " poison king"?
That's him
When your cavalry gets charged by angry Italians with short swords...
:D
You promised us battle of mohacs 1526 . Don't forget that .
Didn't forget :)
They formed a square and just walked out of there?
I've never seen that in all my life! :D
Caesar veterans what did you expect? :)
@@mojewjewjew4420 Usually they just get surrounded and get killed 😁
Upgraded visuals and maps, and a lot stuff, thanks for the vid.
Calvinus did not so bad for the cards he had....just ...it's just sad that inexperienced soldiers failed the whole battle
Sorry for the question: with what Kind of Software do you make those Videos? How do you make the maps and animate the troops
I love your voice man 😍
Thanks for another amazing episode mate 👍 glad that you’ve posted again ✅
Thanks for the visit
Great video HistryMarche.
As a man who lives in the trabzon, turkey i can still feel the magnificent presence of pontus around me every day.
Amazing! As always 😄
Thank you! 😄 Thanks for popping in on Patreon as well :)
@@HistoryMarche Yeah np ❤️
Respect for 46th legion.Brave and disciplined soldiers.👏
No one’s going to talk about how fucking boss the 36th legion were?
Ty guys
This is the prequel to Hoc Est Bellum's Battle of Zela video a few months ago
Does this roman general even have a strategy? This is a huge step down from the capabilities of the generals in the battle of cannae.
