who else already knew over half of this from Percy Jackson???

00:33 them greeks!

Nice video. Not to be that guy, but in English their name is pronounced "My-see-NEE-ans". Not "My-see-NIN-ians". Or, in the original Greek, "My-Kee-NEE-ans" (there are no soft "cee" sounds in Greek). The boar helmets were only common as a symbol of nobility and were family heirlooms. Regular soldiers wore bronze caps or helmets like the later Greeks. You forgot archers and especially slingers to complement the heavy infantry. As well, in addition to infrantry, Myceneans made use of 2-man chariots. There is some debate if these were used simply as battlefield taxis to ferry soldiers and/or leaders to the battlefield to keep them fresh, or as assault units like the Hittites (where they got the chariots from in the first place).

Would have loved to hear more about the physics of it! Why was it superior to an "average" javelin?

Thank you

the legionaries who overcame these obstacles really have balls of tungsten

Being a Samnite reenactor myself this makes me a little happier than i am usually :). Even though it is obviously a simplified version. Livy writes MANY years after the Samnite wars and un the midst of other struggles between Romans and italics (with the samnites in the front row) so his story is a little bit affected by this. Anyway samnites never gave up: 3 Samnite wars, Pyrrhus, Annibal, Social war, civil war and even Spartacus, samnites always fought (not entirely) for different reasons. I suggest a book of my old professor Gianni Brizzi "Ribelli contro Roma" Rebels against Rome. Very interesting take.

Fabricated story

We, the Assyrian people of Nineveh, are working to build our civilization again and we are working again and again but failing But we promise you that we are Assyrians and we will restore our stolen homeland, Assyria, soon, and you will see the expansion of Assyria in a short period. This is a promise from a free Assyrian.

I wonder if this is the historical inspiration for the falx in Elden ring

"Dangerous"? How, exactly, is ANY historical interpretation a danger, of ANY kind? Good Lord...😮

The Gauls are my personal fascination. I wish we had more insights of their daily lives not written from the perspective of their enemies

"Rome had even defeated A PROPER GREEK KING when they outlasted Pyrrhus of Epirus and drove him out of Italy." RONALD MELLOR, THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN GREEK AND ROMAN IDENTITY, p.96

"In 1258 when groups of Albanians around Dyrrachion (Durrës) were allied with the Despot of Epirus, Michael II Doukas, there was no evidence of Albanians in Epirus." Steven G. Ellis; Lud'a Klusáková (2007). "Imagining frontiers, contesting identities". Speculum. Edizioni Plus. 37

"Epirus was a land of milk and animal products [...] The social unit was a small tribe, consisting of several nomadic or semi-nomadic groups, and these tribes, of which more than seventy names are known, coalesced into large tribal coalitions, three in number: Thesprotians, Molossians and Chaonians [...] We know from the discovery of inscriptions that these tribes were speaking the GREEK language (in a West-Greek dialect)." Hammond, Nicholas Geoffrey Lemprière (1998). Philip of Macedon. London: Duckworth

You’re getting this from total war mods, not archeology. There isn’t any artifact or text that describes any of this. If there was a difference, evidence suggests that Italian hoplites continued to use a pair of throwable spears while the Greeks in the homeland switched to longer, heavier ones.

you sound familiar. are you Italian? have a medieval channel?

The Tigurins also came from the north (from Baden-Württemberg). It seems that they were a warrior tribe, certainly from the Heidengraben, and perhaps even from the Ipf. Probably under pressure from the Suevi (Germans) they migrated like all the proto-Helvetic tribes towards the south and the southwest. They went to Zurich (Tigurum), where they were confronted to the Tougenii (of Uetliberg), then perhaps founded the fortress of Rheinau on the Rhine, to finally continue towards the west where they settled in particular at Aventicum (Avenches). It is even possible that they were the warriors of LaTène on the shores of Lake Neuchâtel. Their origin from the north of Baden-Württemberg perhaps explains their later alliance with the Cimbri.

Despite what people think. Kurds do not speak languages (cause they dont speak one language) descended of medes

LEVY FREEMEN!!

Did they use archers in this time period

Could you do a bible history video?

At first i thought this was a video about The Spians and i was wondering where in Greece Spia was

There is no kurd they are Persian. İts a like and false propaganda

Actors?

clearly an AI script, uses AI backgrounds, talks like a robot. terrible video for studying the julio-claudians

Her name wasn't even close to being pronounced "see-anna".. its not even spelled in a way it could be pronounced that way lol. Her name in her time would have been pronounced "key-nah-nay". sorry to be a stickler but I always feel like we are learning a fake history when we don't take the time to learn these peoples real names. There was no Alexander the great. He was Alexandros III of Macedon Son of Philip II.

The Xiphos was a stabbing weapon as opposed to the kopis which could slash and hack, you could cut with a xiphos but why waste your time...a stab kills in half the time a slash does.

Istanbul has out done Constantinopel. Istanbul has risen to be an even greater city than Constantinopel!

Not a recap going back to Troy? This is for Casuals

Defending your wealth and land from Germanic tribes, by hiring other Germanic tribes.... And giving them land grants after they fight for you.. Really? no one thought that was a bad idea? Instead of fighting your enemy, you're making the bed and inviting them in. 😅

Odysseus won this match up 😂🎉

I love your videos. Thank you for making these.

Hey Ancient history guy! Big fan, I'm Jack Duncan of the Celtic History podcast, this is a great summary but I do feel its important to understand how the societal structure influenced the make up of the Celtic military. Would love to have a chat about this and how this influenced the mercenary culture we seen in the Middle La Tene period

How? Just live long enough to be promoted to centurion. 😅

Skirmishers in this period are often underestimated. Even if they never killed anyone, forcing the enemy line to stay in formation and with shields up while your own line could take a knee to rest and get water brought up to them would have a big effect when the lines finally clashed.
