What did the Romans think of barbarians & Carthage?

- Today, DJ Peach Cobbler explains how the Ancient Romans felt about both their northern neighbors, and the Carthaginians.
SPOILER ALERT: They weren't fans.
But there is a great complexity to how they felt about these peoples, as well as how they treated them. From Caesar's Conquest of Gaul to the Punic Wars and Cato the Elder being a jerk about literally everything at all times, there's a lot of ground to cover.
The best shit is when Scipio Africanus and Hannibal meet later in their lives. By this point Scipio has been rolled out for one last diplomatic mission and Hannibal is acting as sort of a mercenary general in Syria. Of course the two men get on the topics of warfare and history, trying at this point to frame their careers and triumphs against one another. The topic turns to "who do you think the greatest general of all time" is, Hannibal states first Alexander, then Pyrrhus, and finally himself. When Scipio asked him what would have happened if Hannibal had defeated Scipio at Zarra, Hannibal replied with this: "Then, beyond doubt I should place myself both before Alexander and before Pyrrhus and before all other generals. Scipio immediately understood this as the backhanded comment it was, that Hannibal meant to say that Scipio was a general in capacity beyond even himself, Pyrrhus, and even Alexander. Fucking wicked.
God damnit, that's incredible. I wish I knew of this before the video, thanks for sharing
@@DJPeachCobbler Oh man trust me, you hear it once and it gets seared into your brain every time the two get brought up. Like two bitter, broken formerly men who got fucked by their countries meet in distant lands to talk about just which one had the bigger set of balls.
Thanks for firing those neurons again. Thanks also to Mike Duncan for letting me learn it while I probably should have been doing something more important, like paying my taxes.
When 2 chads meet.
Thia is epic
@@BBrunswicker
Scipio and Hannibal were basically bros outside of war. They even met before their last battle, and Hannibal wanted to give Scipio peace, but Scipio refused because Hannibal had brought his army, and Africanus would have considered it a stain on his pride to not fight him.
Carthaginian attacking you?
Just say no.
Carthaginians cannot legally attack you without Rome's consent.

fucking based
“Particularly with the late Republic and early Empire, I’ve just been consumed by it.”
You binged Historia Civilis, didn’t you?
The Romans certainly sacrificed humans, especially during Caesar's time.
After a successful conquest, the leaders of the civilizations they went to war with were dressed up and paraded through Rome in a triumph before being strangled in front of a statue of Jupiter Maximus.
Augustus even did it in front of a statue of Caesar.
Nope! Doesnt count
Its more like an prisoner execution for the sake of dick-flapping around to show their might, no?
@@Byronic19134 nonsense
What little human ritualistic murder there was was very frowned upon or not considered sacrifices by contemporaries. You are technically right because our language and cultural biases have evolved over two millennia, but you are, in the spirit of the argument, wrong.
more of a public execution really
1 minor thing. Caesar didn't kill or enslave a third of the Gauls. According to him, he killed a third and enslaved another. So the genocide was much greater.
Fucking based.
@@yuvalgabay1023 As a general rule, Rome was based.
@@thaneofwhiterun3562 Until the later days and the Byzantine rule, yeah.
That doesn't seem like a minor thing at all.

@@hiiipowerbass2337oh ok that's good. I was going to call her a bitch
@@hiiipowerbass2337 This is the power of Rome.
I know EXACTLY why the third punic war happened
Roman pride
The first war was won by pure Roman grit. Look up the casualties, Rome kept losing literally armies from sea storms. The Roman's never fought manmjor naval battles at this point and Carthage held out until Roman tactics caught back up and they just wouldn't stop.
The second was far too close. You couldn't even say Cathage without a Roman vet getting PTSD flashbacks of the ungodly monster that stomped his best butt buddy into the dirt in the quickest buried they ever bore witness. You don't let that go.
TLDR: Third punic war. "why? Cause fuck'em that's why."

this is why I love your content DJ Peach, you explain things in gamer, I never really liked history I'm more a of a math person, math is easy, you just gotta notice the patterns within everything, I don't hate history because it's hard to learn or anything it's just that for me I have to actually translate it for my mind to register it, your videos are like going from subbed content to dubbed content, whereas in history class I would have to read the same sentence more than 3 times to actually get it into my brain you just have to say it once and it pops right in while it pops in I can enjoy the lovely view of your chiseled jaw dusty chalkboard and fascinating living space, you own what all my history teaches lacked, a way to communicate, I wish to hold your hand like I would to a brother, alas we are separated by many factors so for now I think I'll just sit here in the shadows with the occasional comment and the steady flow of like presses, from a subscriber of yours, thanks.
One of the most interesting things I know about Julius Caesar is the fact that during his younger days he got captured by pirates, and when they demanded a ransome he demanded it to be higher. He was with them for a while and swore to kill them all, so when he got back to rome he created a navy and killed them.
The fun part is: he was *really* helpful as a captive, so the pirates treated him very well and liked him very much. They all thought he was kidding when he said he would kill them for asking so little of a ransom, because that was offensive. Then when he came back, he didn't just kill them: he captured them and CRUCIFIED him. Absolute menace.
@@miguelhenriquecosta Also, didn't he make them ask for so much more ransom money specifically so when he came back and wiped them out, he'd be able to claim it all for himself? He literally tricked them into making him more money!
@@miguelhenriquecosta he probably had to do it to ensure less people try to fuck with him in the future. so its not that maniacly
@@LordVollmilch Oh, but he was quite the maniac. Refer to "De Bello Galico", his own accounts of the war in Gália (around France) to see how much of a maniac he was. Menace.

Fun fact: Ancient Rome dissolved at least 15 years ago, maybe even more than that according to some historians
The king of Spain is technically the emperor of Rome because the nephew of Constantine XI gave it to him in his will

I say the Roman empire evolved into the Catholic church.

This was phenomenal, I look forward to your videos and appreciate all the work you put in. Part one had me and my wife discussing for quite some time about state of current world empires compared to the Roman Empire. I’ll be waiting for that part 2!
Cobbler really hit us with "Gonna upload a big one in like four days", then dropped this a few hours later
I do think it would be good to note that later Romans looked back at the Carthaginians in quite a positive way- they were the only 'worthy opponent' as far as many Romans were concerned.
Whatsmore, there was a growing cynicism, or at least wariness, towards war growing in the state. Romans were very aware that as they conquered peoples they obliterated culture, and that doing so was probably wrong. However, they justified it by arguing that, on the whole, roman ideals and civilisation was better than the culture they conquered.
We also get the famous line: They make a wasteland and call it peace.
That was said by a Roman poet about Rome. Its very easy to generalise the ancients into a single opinion or set of ideals. In reality, they were just as divided and doubtful as our own civilisation is today
Geez, some Romanoboo will lose his shit by reading this cuz "Muh Ruhm Eeteernah".
Romans also romanticized the "nature-bound" life of the German tribes. Weird to think about the fact that there were literal hippies among the Roman elite.
>I do think it would be good to note that later Romans looked back at the Carthaginians in quite a positive way- they were the only 'worthy opponent' as far as many Romans were concerned.
I have seen Americans do that for the Soviet Union.
Rome did not obliterate cultures exactly nor would they want to, they mostly left it behind and adapted the best bits. Carthage was the exception.
That quote is attributed to Calgacus. A Caledonian chief that fought Agricola in Scotland. We don't know if he's real or not. All we know is historian(not a poet) Tacitus wrote his speech(which includes the quote) before his battle against Agricola.
Thank you Cobbler, I didn't know you could have this much fun with a story lesson, and I love ancient story. Keep up the good work, waiting for part 2!
I have no idea what this channel's focus is anymore, but I'm here for all of it
Really been enjoying how varied your content has been lately
This video was a fucking masterpiece in literature art, poetry you fucking name it
I absolutely loved this; it’s weird how a very well researched video about ancient history is released by the same channel that’s releasing manic videos of talking to Ubisoft in a back ally. You kept a bit of that craziness, but at the same time this was a serious history video.
The only criticism I’d have is that the contrast between Carthage and Roman isn’t as big as ancient sources like to describe it to us. Carthage was pretty much a mediterranean empire, more similar to the Roman’s than most. You don’t become the most powerful state in the mediterranean by asking nicely, you conquer your neighbours and than go on to expand even further; Carthage did exactly that. And while they were big merchants, the merchant class didn’t actually rule the city. Like anywhere else in ancient times the Carthaginian aristocracy owned land, not ships and they had the actual power. It’s weird how similar those empires were; they fought together against Pyrrhus, they had good relations, but eventually they clashed anyways.
Thanks for this man, incredible points.
This town just wasn't big enough for the two of them.
The romans actually pulled a "weapons of mass destruction" during the the third punic war
God damn I wish there was more content like this, you have reminded me how much I love history. Honestly watched this video like once a day since it came out. You have created such an awesome niche with this stuff dude and honestly I can't wait for more
This channel is an unbelievably weird collection of video game content, history stuff, and politics/economics stuff and I love literally all of it
Ikr easily one of my favorite channels on the site
Honestly the fact that younger Scipio had that level of intelligence at 17 is insane
It’s only insane because our generations have been dumbed down...
@@mr.mungus7462 obviously wrong- if this was true, then every single 17 year old in Rome would be doing just as amazing things as scipio. Scipio was a genius, but he was a genius in a civilisation essentially based soley on allowing people like them to do great deeds. It's important to remember that scipio came from one of the most wealthy and influential families in Rome, his name already carried weight and he would have received the best possible of educations. Secondly, his millitary talent was able to be so successfully lionized because Republican Rome was already such a heavily militarised culture.
But that is not to say you too can not be brilliant. Like Scipio, you need to know your strengths, plan your battles and find your specific thing to excel it. There is brilliance in you, just as there is brilliance in every human, you just need to find it
How is it insane? He literally just obliterated and already weak city state.
@@anitaremenarova6662 I think its more about having so much inniative and strength of will.
@@anitaremenarova6662 I'm sorry how many weakened city states have you taken down at the age of 17? Thought so

My god your videos are good now. I a few months checked out your channel and couldn't vibe much with your older vids, but these newer ones with your in person style with editing is some of the best new content I've seen in a while. Thank you DJ Peach Cobblemykidneystones
in defence of the Rome modern archeologists during the excavations of Croton (Carthcage's military harbour) also found evidence of its expansion and active shipbuilding (together with walls that seems to be erected to hide aforementioned active shipbuilding from prying eyes) that dates to the times preceding the third Punic War. So MAYBE Punes were not so blameless...
Oh wow, that's actually really interesting, thanks for letting me know. I was too generous to them I suppose, but can you keep a secret?
My channel is a Carthaginian psy-op.
@@DJPeachCobbler Baalite spotted, *LETHAL FORCE ENGAGED*
I read an article about how burnt remains of children (burnt) were resumed during some excavations in areas near Carthage.
Croton is a city in Southern Italy lol. Carthage's harbor is called "Cothon" my friend. Also Cothon already had massive walls. That was Cothon's thing. Plus Cothon was used for both military and commercial purposes so those ship building stuff was probably for commercial use.
From Wikipedia:
The cothon at Carthage was divided into a rectangular merchant harbour followed by an inner protected harbour reserved for military use only. This inner harbour was circular and surrounded by an outer ring of structures divided into a series of docking bays for ship maintenance, along with an island structure at its centre that also housed navy ships. Each individual docking bay featured a raised slipway. Above the raised docking bays was a second level consisting of warehouses where oars and rigging were kept along with supplies such as wood and canvas.
On the island structure there existed a raised 'cabin' where the admiral in command could observe the whole harbour along with the surrounding sea. Altogether the inner docking complex could house up to 220 ships. The entire harbour was protected by an outer wall and the main entrance could be closed off with iron chains.
This was an amazing, entertaining and well researched video. However, it did not contain a Doom Eternal reference, and so I must dub this the cobbler decline arc.

Part one??? You hecking madlad, the amount of effort you put into This is beyond admirable. It's beautiful!
I really like the tragicomedic notes in some sketches, like the sketch of the Carthaginian negotiators almost ending on a tragic note but with the Roman General adding on that last bif of dark humor, or the heavy ending with the burning of Carthage and Homer's words. I really like this mix, for it is funny and shitpost-y but doesn't devolve into not taking these events seriously.

These Victor written history type videos are your calling. We need more of these. We need you ... DJ Coblbler
This channel's content has the wild wasteland trait
On the thing about Romans and human scarafice it's also worth mentioning that it was customary at Roman triumphs to ritually strangle the captured war leader or monarch which is about as close to fucking human sacrifice as you can get
Not only that but they also executed them in front of TEMPLE OF JUPITER MAXIMUS. That's literally sacrifice to Jupiter.
I love cobbler's presentations 😂 keep teaching me ancient history PLEASE! Your take makes me laugh my damn cookies off while actually learning lol
This series blows me away honestly. I wish I watched and saw your stuff sooner.
This might be one of DJ Peach Cobbler's best works yet.
Though I do hope Part 2 of this video doesn't have the same fate as the Vice City retrospective.
15:25 slaves captured during triumphs were often strangled on the steps of they Temple of Mars but the insisted it wasn't a sacrifice although it most definitely was
Edit: I received this information from a channel called Historia Civillis which I would highly recommend, both as a starting source for Cobbler and as a great place to learn inner working of Roman society and history

you could argue though, that there is a difference between:

or
slaughtering people, that probably would've slaughtered you (or helped those), if the events turned out differently.

@@sars910 Then why aren't we talking about the human sacrifices in afghanistan?
@@LordVollmilch because you seem to be wilfully ignoring the distinction between violence done in the name of religion and sacrificing prisoners captured in battle at the foot of the temple of the God of War.
Otherwise, if we're to follow YOUR definition of "human sacrifice", why stop with the Taliban ?

Fantastic work to see Rome in a more historical light rather than ‘omg they did so much for civilization’ which a lot of people like to perpetuate.
Part of the reason why Rome is seen in such an unattainably positive light by the mainstream is because Rome was so effective at crushing dissent and silencing their opposition (Whether foreign or domestic) that we have very few surviving accounts of what it was like to be on the opposite end of Rome's "mercy".
