    • @HistoryMarche
      @HistoryMarche  Před 4 lety +76

      Agreed 100%. You can even tell that Rome was in trouble. By the end of 217 BC they even had trouble fielding an army of equal size to Hannibal's (CAR 50k vs ROM 40k). I mean, they had the manpower, but untrained manpower. So by saving this last army that they could field in 217 BC, Fabius essentially preserved all of Roman alliances in the south - had they lost this army, I could bet my last dollar that many areas of southern Italy would've switched sides.
      And as for keeping Minucius, absolutely. Maintaining the status quote is important to keep the morale of the troops. Making too many disruptions would've been a bad idea, especially after they were just battered at Geronium. Overal, Fabius was QUITE a competent commander.

    Another reason why Hannibal may not have seiged Rome is because his own food stock was limited, and he relied on foraging, so a several months siege would have essentially been a double edged sword, when his own army was forced to be stationary.
    As you mentioned earlier, Hannibal depended on maneuverability and didn't want to be sandwiched at the gates of Rome, considering he may have been acting on imperfect information regarding the location and size of armies in the area.

      I think.he didnt, because he was constantly needing to get enough supplies for his troops, so staying in 1 place would make that difficult.
      And, hannibal was a field commander.
      When he picked that battle and the terrain, he could do anything
      But in a siege. Hed have to fight when the Roman's sallied out.
      Likely Ceaser could have done that fight, but he and his troops were far better at building and using fortifications, but I doubt Ceaser would have won the fights hannibal did. Ceaser was great, but I dint see him winning Canae.
      So hannibal was the only one who could get to that position.
      But isn't a seige commander who could take Rome

    Hannibal and Alexander both have the same thing. both of their fathers (Hamilcar and Phillip) trained and raised an army, both have plans to defeat their enemies (Rome and Persia), but died before it could happen so their children inherited their plans. Alexander crossed the Hellespont even though the Persians is still the master of the sea, while Hannibal crossed the alps, both men defeated their enemies in battle even though they're outnumbered (Cannae and Gaugamela)

      A trilogy would be ideal, like HBO's Rome. But, yeah, currently state of affairs in hollywood, would make this movie/series impossible, full of cliches and "modern" values drivel. Second punic war is too hard, complex to nail. Regardless, it could be an amazing effort, if the script would be neutral. For example,The public should sympathise with both Scipio and Hannibal.

      @@budibausto was thinking similar to you but with two series one focused solely from the roman perspective of their generals and armies seeing their countrysides raised to the ground and how fearful/angry they must have been that this tyrant called hannibal would march on Rome.. On the battle scenes focus solely on what they thought was the case and their over Confidence or mistakes.
      On the second series look at the same stuff but solely from the cathaginian perspective of being gloriously led through the alps and being successful in decimating roman legions and the amount of arguing and how tf hannibal managed to organise and control armies of different ethnicities and languages and really focus on how he managed to organise the ambushes.

      He was a tactical god but he failed to match strategy and tactics, which means maybe he shouldn't have been in overall command. He couldn't see the bigger picture or the whole war, he just wanted to bleed Rome. In his defense, even if he failed to put any pressure on the city itself or cause enough panic that would force Rome to withdraw legions from somewhere else, any other culture would have offered terms after Cannae. The Romans were just more stubborn than Hannibal.

    The strategy of Arminius at the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest (9AD) when Arminius funneled the Romans under Varus to march directly by a swamp while Arminius attacked from concealed positions on hills driving the Romans into the bogs is surprisingly akin to that of Hannibal's tactics at Lake Trasimene.

    I think he didn't go for Rome because he was worried that the Gauls, whose pockets were full of plunder, would start drifting off home rather than wating for weeks or months for the city to fall. He would also have to feed his troops which could have left them as bad off as those in Rome. If he crushed their armies he would gather more support and allies which could then supply him with food, fodder, men, etc when he did go for Rome. Breaks my heart that he failed, even more that it was not his fault but the fault of others in power in Carthage.Great storytelling dude!

Please maintain your moral approach to history. Please continue to treat peoples of the past as human beings and not as groups that need to be elevated or praised to make up of perceived disadvantages that may or may not exist today. Social Justice should not shape historical interpretation. History as a field of study must remain sacred if we are to learn anything. Teach what people did; the good, the bad, the ugly, and always the human. Do not try to earn points for groups on some cosmic scoreboard whose goal it is to show that all groups of people are the same. That should not be a goal.

    Hannibal was pulling sneak 100s everywhere with a literal horde of troops.
    Actually seeing these battles and how they played out really illustrates his tactical and strategic genius.
    I’d be pretty scared if I was Rome too.

    Tunisia - Carthage is considered one of the most important civilizations known in the Mediterranean in the world before the birth of Christ, as were the Greek and Roman civilizations as well as the Pharaonic. The center of this republic - the empire that has prevailed in the Mediterranean for centuries is the city of Carthage, which is located in the north of Tunisia, not far from the Tunisian capital, which was founded after Carthage about fifteen centuries, but the latter was transformed by urban expansion to one of its suburbs.
    Legend has it that Carthage was founded by the Phoenician princess Alisa as the Tunisians call her or Elissar / Elisa as it was called in the Levant, or Didon as Westerners call her. Alisa or Alissar from the Lebanese city of Tire came fleeing from her brother who killed her husband, and tells that there is a priest who told her that her fate is to establish a city off a mountain that has two horns, so she wandered in the sea until she reached what is today the Gulf of Tunis, where there is the mountain with two horns ( Jabal Buqarnin as it is called today).
    The princess offered the local people to buy from them a plot of land with an area of ​​a bull's skin, so she had what she wanted, and it was only that she cut the skin of the ox and turned it into a long thin thread and on the area surrounded by this thin thread, and cunningly only mastered by the Phoenician merchant, she got Alisa Or left on a large area on which the city of Carthage was founded, or "Qarat Hadasht", meaning the modern village or the new city. The new Mediterranean metropolis has grown, grown, prospered, and outperformed the rest of the surrounding Phoenician cities in various fields and has become an economic and military power for which a thousand accounts are read.
    Conflict with the Greeks and the Persians
    The history books recount that the Carthage army confronted the invaders from Persia who were changing the Phoenician cities and defended relentlessly on the possessions of Tire despite the distance and the short periods of time. Some likened the Carthaginian aid to the city of Tire with the help the United States provided to Britain during World War II as if it were a beautiful response from the modern superpower to the country of origin.
    The Carthaginians also fought wars against the Greeks to control the centers of influence in the Mediterranean Sea for centuries, and the Roman Empire actually existed on the Mediterranean scene. At some point, the Carthaginians managed to destroy the islands of Crete and Malta, which speaks to this day the Punic Carthage language, despite the insistence of the Greeks to acquire them as they are the keys to controlling the Mediterranean. In the context of the competition for influence in the Mediterranean between Carthage and the countries of the Greeks, the legend tells the story of the two brothers, Vilene Carthaginians, which remained a title of sacrifice and redemption for the sake of the homeland for generations. The Tunisian historian Mohamed Hussein Fintar says this story: «When Carthage decayed the greater part of Africa, it was a Qurain city rivaled by wealth and power. And there were sprawling springs between the two cities, and nothing limits their monotony. There is no river in them and no mountain separating the two countries, which led to a fierce war that lasted for a long time. The armies wrestled overland, wrestled by sea, and the war remained a contest that exhausted the two opponents' forces without success.
    And when the two cities were afraid of falling prey among the claws of a third party, taking advantage of the weakness of the victor and the vanquished, they benefited from a truce to conclude the following agreement: On a specific day, the two cities appointed two representatives from each of them departing from the borders of the homeland and the meeting point recognized by the two peoples. Carthage appointed the two brothers, Velin, who hastened to proceed very quickly. The course of the Qureans (the Greeks) was slow. Was this a matter of inaction, or was it an unexpected event? we do not know! In those areas, the storm impedes the walking, as it does in the desert as it does in the sea.
    When the two Koreas realized that they were too late, fearing the accusation of treason and the resulting punishment, the two brothers, Flynn, were accused of leaving their homes before the specified time, and we appealed the outcome of the debate. And when that was so, the Carthaginians requested that other conditions be set to be fair, and the Greeks left for them the choice between wading the two brothers Vellin in the place they wanted to draw the borders of their countries or letting the Qureans advance in the same circumstances to the place they wanted. The brothers, Flynn, sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country.
    Conflict with Rome
    Rome became a nascent young empire emerging centuries after Carthage over the Mediterranean and it was incumbent upon the modern emerging power (Rome) to displace the aging empire (Carthage) that took its time and further. Carthage controlled vast lands that stretched over the whole northwestern African coast, all the way to the Strait of Gibraltar, which was called the Strait of Malqarat, after the Carthaginian leader Abd Malqarat Baraka, the father of Hannibal. Carthage also took control of the Iberian Peninsula, where it established many cities, including Cartagena and Barcelona (relative to the Barca family of Carthaginian, from which Hannibal and his father Abd al-Malqrat came from, as well as Sadal al-Adil) and its influence reached southern France.
    Carthage controlled important Mediterranean islands such as Greek Crete and Malta, as well as Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Palearians. East reached the Libyan Gulf of Sirte, where it signed a border agreement with the Greeks, who were controlling the Egyptian Mediterranean coast and eastern Libya.
    Although it was at the end of its reign, Carthage fought three major wars against the Romans that lasted for many years and ended with the burning of Carthage at the hands of the Roman commander Sibiun. These epics were known for the emergence of a star of great leaders who gained wide fame, including Abd Melqarat Barka (Amilcar) and his son Hannibal, who crossed the Alps with his elephant and legions of his armies, and besieged Rome for nearly ten years and fought several battles, the most important of which was the famous Battle of Kannai.
    Scouts people
    The Carthaginians paid attention, early and before others, to the importance of the African continent. They sailed in the Atlantic Ocean, which the Arabs feared and called it a "sea of ​​darkness" and established their settlements in West Africa along the African coast. Perhaps the most famous expedition is the journey of the traveling ruler Hanoun, which took place around the fifth century B.C. and was recorded and famous, unlike the rest of the trips.
    The Carthaginians also reached the British Isles across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea, on the outskirts of Scandinavia, in search of tin and all that benefited the empire. These commercial trips were preceded by the famous expedition of Halcalon or the Giant, who opened the door wide to the Carthage merchants to expand their trade circle to include the northern old continent across the sea.
    He recounts that the Carthaginians also reached the American continent, given what was mentioned in some books of the Greeks that talked about a vast land beyond the ocean that was a source of the wealth of the Carthaginians. Also, Carthage coins were found containing an approximate image of the world map, including a large land area, located directly after the sea, which is supposed to be the Atlantic Ocean.
