Your channel is so underrated, it deserves more viewers. Good luck man and thank you for your content
I agree, this is better than 99% of everything being sharted out now days, thank you good sir for taking the time to make these videos!
I agree with your comment. Good work.
Have read "The Poison King", but your documentary gives excellent perspective.. Thank you!
The in depth look at events both on and off the battlefield are greatly appreciated. The has been little coverage of Trajans battles overall. Something to consider. Thank you.
21:40 "no more than 6000 legions"😂
Unstoppable.
Jesus 30million legionares
Great content , the Greeks are fascinating as they had so many colonies that turned into competitive states
This is already shaping up to be much better than the k&g mithradatic war series.
I can confirm that
To be fair that series is a bit dated, I am sure a modern k&g documentary would be better than their old one as well.
No lmao
Always a treat to see your video notifications my good man! Keep them coming. Love waking up and learning some war history to get the brain going.
Amazing Videos man! Keep up the great work
Love the channel. Is there a part 2? Keep up the good work!!!
this is awesome!!
This was awesome, thank you!
Wasn't Mithradates known as the poison king ?
Also would to see you cover the wars of Caesar and his adopted son Augustus.
Yes, he used poisons to get immune out of paranoia
His Enimies have been attempting to kill him as since he was a boy, including his family. POISON KING BY ADRIAN MAYOR, is an amazing book!!!
Great narrative, thank you
This is an awesome Channel, highly recommend!
Nice video about Mithidratic existing on Crimea and it's around area ...chariots acted as decisive roles thanks for sharing
This channel is an excellent one.
this is such a good video to watch after reading Appian.
You have great content, thank you for what you do. Another interesting topic I think would be interesting for people, is the story of Grace O’Malley. She is an incredibly interesting Irish staple from the 16th century. I’m sure you know of her!
@House of History After restoring King Ariobarzanes to the Cappadocian throne, Sulla had nothing to do with the start of the Mithridatic War: he was busy fighting the rebel Allies in Italy, during the Social War.
Well done sir 👍
How was that Archeleous guy in charge of the pontic army when they performed that bad xDD 39:00 ?
I mean, he is as much fighting Mithridates as is Sulla xDD
How did you blend in the image on the right at 17:33?
Does Photoshop have a template for it, or did you did you create it manually?
great video
One thing I've noticed that has strangely been missed by the youtube battle history community is covering the war between King Charles I and Parliament. A niche waiting to be filled perhaps?
Very interesting indeed - I will have to do a lot of reading before I am able to cover that. Currently, I am working on a documentary about Frederick the Great's campaigns. Perhaps the English Civil War will follow!
I have noticed that too! Kings and Generals is currently making a series on it, and i can't wait to binge once it's complete
Subtitles show mithradetis as "method rat" lool
21:42 no more than 6 thousands LEGIONNARIES not legions :D
Appreciate you
Awesome!
Awesome
Please do series on the palmyrene empire
Epic !
i love your video
37:00 once sulla shaped the battlefield, mithridates should have LEFT
Great powerful Iranian(Persian) dynasty with the mix of both hellenic and Persian culture
GREAT
am I wrong or is that Numidia (4:22) way off? should be in modern Algeria.
38:06
The Romans stepped aside just as the Roman chariots approached?
If I were Mithridiates I would have Archuleus executed. What a bumbeling fool. How on earth can you make the same
Chariot mistake twice? If he would have gone in with his superior infantry in the Battle of Orchomenos. He would have crushed the Roman’s. But no. Let’s dive in with the chariots first and get pinned between the separate lines like we did in the last battle. That ended well…
What a way to kill of two gigantic armies. What an idiot
Love U!
the population density of the Black Sea region must have been ENORMOUS
Where is your accent from? I can't quite place it.
Scourge of Rome
is this where Ridley Scott got the idea for the Mithrc religion on Raised By Wolves?
I still find it weird that chariots can just speed through a square of phalanx. How don't those horses die / at least get injured enough NOT to pull their chariots anymore? Sure, they have momentum. That could explain a lot of damage on the infantry formation. But first of all, how do those horses run into a phalanx? Cavalry and horse experts often say that horses are (obviously!) not dumb enough to charge into a block of long, pointy objects.
I don't know the first thing about horses, but they are either dumb enough, or not dumb enough. Thus some historians or experts in some of these cavalry (or chariot) stories must be wrong.
Ideas, any1?
Horses are massive, especially war horses, bred and trained to inflict the most damage on people possible. Destriers were massive animals. While war horses were uncommon, even a smaller sized horse could easily kill a man with one hoof kick. A horse, or multiple pulling a chariot is terrifying regardless of the weapon youre holding. You see the massive animal charge, shit your pants, and run. If you dont run away, they plow right through you and stomp on you. The horses were trained to run, and stomp, and not stop.
@@DilsGaming my point was the natural instinct of the horse, not their power or mass. I heard from many experts that horses (trained war horses) do not run into pointy things. Then I hear (for example here) that they do run into whatever.
@@istvansipos9940 it really depends on the horse. Most horses won't run into a spear, they'll move around it and stomp on you, but the momentum of a mass of flesh charging you is enough to make anyone break formation and run, Cavalry and Chariots are about shock damage, morale damage, you see them coming and are gripped with fear
Phalanxes require unanimous and strict coordination; they are difficult to organise and especially to reorganise once penetrated or scattered, and their spears are heavy and cumbersome, so they probably weren't even levelled against the chariots, given that they were friends and it was totally unexpected. Many probably simply ran. All it takes is a few spears or men out of position and the horses are in. And remember, once the chariots are within the phalanx, they have NO defence. Their spears are too long to be useful.
I know I am late with this, just watched the video. Imagine one man holding a pointy sharp stick and a horse is ordered to charge right at him. The horse will naturally side step the stick and run beside him. If that horse is pulling a sharp blade that is placed right in line where the man is standing it will slice his leg(s) off. This was the basic idea at least. For the chariot to run down beside the phalanx's and inflect unthinkable horror by cutting through the outer line of the box. It's truly horrifying to think about and this did not always go as planned, but chariots where looked upon as the counter to phalanx infantry so was used as a needed weapon system at the time. Alexander the great used what is called a mousetrap formation(I hope google has an image of it) to counter chariots so against him there was no counter known at the time for the phalanx.

Who's Mithidrates?
Funny how chariots are so powerful in one battle but completely useless facing the romans
Just for the info ,the Greeks destroy t hecCeltic invasion army almost completely even out numbering,
realy why this roman empire have iranian name
please get a better microphone.
The EGG AN SEA? It's pronounced AY GEE AN SEA... last time I looked.
The Romans were disciplined enough to step aside as the ROMAN chariots approached? Dude... you are very sloppy.
Six thousand legions??? Dude... proof read and edit your mistakes. The Romans never had six thousand legions. Not even close to that number.
What's your issue man? 3 comments, and all you do is complain. Be constructive in your critisism, instead of sounding like a nagging little girl. Also, the "six thousand LEGIONS" was obviously a mistake. He meant LEGIONNAIRIES. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to know this.
@@Danneman92 Attention to detail is important, even if some people like you don't think so.
