The Third Samnite War is often overlooked, but it's one of the pivotal conflicts in the evolution of Rome. One could argue that, before the TSW it was a toss up who was the strongest power in Italy. And even if there was one, a coalition of other powers could've outmatched it - which is exactly what happened in the Third Samnite War. Rome ended up fighting against a coalition of 4 other nations and emerged on top, which is quite remarkable.

      I think part of that ability to 'bounce back' was the effort by Rome just for fighting. It's like a soccor match really.
      The death knell was sending in colonists. They should have done that all along.
      The 'old way' of fighting the 'match' and then dealing such a heavy blow THAT peace is sued, damages paid......
      THAT is the 'Game". They didn't start fighting to 'conquer' like later. They wanted 'Hegemony'.
      The Right to Rule. Hence making money.
      The Vikings just wanted to raid, like going to Walmart, shopping spree.
      The Mongols wanted to "Conquor", not install a civilization. Not for Gold. Blood lust.
      The Spanish of the 1400s? They were conquoring for God but the objective was the Gold. Conquoring is expensive, God doesn't travel on alms after all.
      The Brits came to the USA for land. Settling in place.
      Soooo, the Romans came in. Played the matches, but when the season is over, they go home. All any commander was after is gold and a few trophies. Rome itself wanted Glory.
      I think cities, the citizens of the cities, knew that they'd have to figt, accepted it even. They EXPECT to fight, that is why every city has a wall and garrison. It's a game we don't really understand. Can't live it now.
      Sending in the colonists to cities already established put everyone on notice, season is over. We are tired of the rivalry.

    • @NixHarpinger
      @NixHarpinger Před 8 měsíci +27

      Of course. The Romans believed that the founder of Rome - Romulus and his brother Remus were saved from death by a she-wolf (Lupa Capitolina). Interestingly, they were born to a virgin of Vestal (priestesses of Vestal who were sworn to celibacy) and supposedly conceived by Mars, the god of war. King Amulius, the ruler of the Latin League saw the infants as a potential threat and ordered them to be cast out from the city of Alba Longa into the river Tiber, to be left to die to the elements. It is said that Lupa Capitolina found the infants washed up on a bank and nursed them to health by letting them suckle her milk.
      Afterward they were adopted by a shepherd and once the twins learned their true identities, they returned to Alba Longa and disposed king Amulius by killing him (I guess his hunch was on point).
      Remus was sadly killed later in a dispute with Romulus to where they should found the new city and so Romulus went on to found Rome on his own and successfully ruled for several decades as the king.
      Then, about 200 years later the Romans decided they don't like kings anymore and the last Etruscan king was overthrown. The Romans vowed they will never bow to one person again, which impressively lasted for almost five decades until a certain Gaius Julius came along and messed everything up :)

    It's often the Empire era of Rome that gets the most attention. Personally, I find the Republic era to be the most fascinating. The Punic Wars are my favorite parts of Roman lore, but the Samnite Wars are pretty interesting too because of how they shaped the military tactics that would eventually forge an empire.

    • @NixHarpinger
      @NixHarpinger Před 8 měsíci +18

      I totally agree. Not only because there is so much interesting history in the republic era, it's the fact that it was *a republic* In times where everywhere except maybe the polis of Athens had a form of autocracy. The Romans took an entirely different approach and instead of directly subjugating the neighboring nations, they assimilated them and allowed people to become citizens even if they were not from the province of Italia. The fact they no matter how devastating their defeats were, they always bounced back and managed to assert dominance over some very powerful nations speaks volumes about their resilience and determination. I'm actually a little sad about the fact that most movies and high-budget documentaries we get are not focused on the rise of Rome but more on its long decline.

      Romans made entire system reward war. From top to bottom every single roman citizen was benefitting from conquest, and thus rome could call upon large mostly volounteer armies one after another. There was always a young aristrocrat raised to be a general from birth eager to prove himself to lead, and always tens of thousands of young plebs looking for their own fortune in war trough looting and generous military pensions.
      Part of these pensions were decent sized plots of farmlands often in newly conquered territory, and even in retirement a roman soldeir serves the state by occupying, colonising, interbreeding, assimilating locals, reinforcing past conquests merely by his presence. And even after his prime is past the roman veteran is looked after, and has enough wealth for his family.
      The only ones not benefitting were the conquered enemies of rome who were enslaved and sometimes outright genocided.

      @@sosig6445 Well said. I would like to point out tho' that in the republic majority of Roman soldiers were actually conscripted citizens and they had to pay for their own gear initially. The pay was also kinda bad and often irregular. It was only in the late republic under Gaius Marius (ca. 100 BC) that concrete reforms were made and people could volunteer and get funded for the basic gear. And it wasn't until the early empire under Caesar Augustus (13 BC) that an actual pension plan was formed, offering a whopping 13 annual salaries to retired soldiers.
      Is true that a good deal of Roman soldiers were landowners (tho we're mostly talking about modestly sized plots) and that did in fact benefit everyone, like you said, because after their (relatively short) conscription ended they weren't some useless unemployed citizens with ptsd, but contributors to local agriculture/economy. Tho' I suspect that they either were landowners to begin with or were able to buy the lands with their war plunder (which some generals were known to share generously and fairly among the troops), not their salaries or with the help of some kind of senate's retirement plan. With soldiers dying in the thousands and by claiming new territories I presume there would be a good availability of affordable land, which even a basic legionary could save for during his military career.
      But no matter their recruiting policies, it is indeed very impressive how they managed to muster such armies, even after grave defeats, time and time again. Honestly, sometimes I wonder if more rural towns just ended up full of women, children and old people in times of great wars.

      @@NixHarpinger It was indeed a major problem throughout the Republican era that many peasants were recruited and died on the battlefields. Which left large portions of the farm lands abandoned; - ready to be bought up cheaply afterwards by the land owners class who possessed armies of slaves . With results that were probably somewhat similar to the 18th century: Large parts of the rural population fled into the cities, for work. Or, they tried to take a professional career path in the army. Meanwhile, the land owners, like e.g. the British in India , changed the production from basic food to "advanced " products with a higher profit margin, like wine. Which meant that wheat had to come from "elsewhere", like Egypt. While the increasing demand for jobs in the army led to the Marian reforms that eventually would seal the fate of the Republic.

      Medieval armies were much more expensive than ancient armies. The best of your soldiers are usually nobility and lords who were fewer in numbers equipped with very expensive gear [horses, layers of armor, well-forged swords and spears] and trained for much of their life in combat. Even more expensive if you're gonna conduct a siege because you need the logistics of always having enough food to keep your army fed and combat engineers to build siege weapons. Given all these expenses, most medieval kingdoms would've went bankrupt trying to maintain *standing field armies* at ready to attack/defend. If you ain't got no money honey, you have to basically raise an army only when it's absolutely needed. If you were gonna attack your neighbor, he better have nice stuff to make back the investment you made in raising up an army.

      It was thanx to their land distribution systems.
      As many Romans as possible were given land. There were legal limits put on how much land any 1 Roman could own.
      Only landed men who could buy their own equipment were recruited. And there were many of them due to efficient landistrubution. Hence why Rome (and Samnium who the Romans copied) during this period seemingly had endless reservoirs of men.
      The war with Hannibal corrupted this system, which started the long slow fall of Rome.
      In that war, for the first time soldiers didn't return to their farms after campaign seasons. Their farms went into neglect, and many started to go bankrupt.
      Wealthier Romans started creating loopholes to own huge amounts of land, via proxies.
      The large number of slaves acquired in the aftermath of the war with Hannibal made slaves plentiful and cheap. These mega farms used these plentiful cheap slaves.
      Multitudes of now landless Romans started flooding to the city of Rome in seek of economic opportunity. (resulting in grain doles, etc and the Plebian mob in Rome)
      This changed the political dynamic in Rome, and caused the rise of Populist politicians like the Gracchi brothers, Marius and Ceasar. Ceasar's main policy from which he derived power was the promise of fixing the land distribution system.
      Rome ran out of soldiers, because their land distribution system broke down. Hence why Marius made reforms to hire landless Romans as professional soldiers that were more like mercenaries, compared to the previous era when each Romans fought to defend their little patch of land.

      They actually did conquer Germania but they lost it after the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest.
      But Tiberius didn’t want to proceed with the reconquest after the Battle of the Angrivarian Wall, arguing that it was not worth the economic cost; though it’s also possible he was afraid of Germanicus’ popularity had he allowed him to conquer Germania.

    Samnite is in a way similiar to Hannibal. One of the strongest and the most stubborn enemies Roman have to face but cannot capitalize their victory to decisively destroy Roman until Roman eventually adapt and overcome them.
    Although i guess it's more appropiate if i used this comment in the previous Samnite war because by the third war Roman have already adapted and overcome the Samnite.

    This channel is awesome!
    May I be so bold to suggest some potential topics for future videos? As a Dutchman I'd love to see you guys cover the siege and relief of Leiden (1574), and the events in the 2 years leading up to it. Multiple towns were sacked and massacred by the Spanish already, and Leiden, the 2nd largest city of the country was next on their list. A landslide defeat at Mookerheide allowed the siege to be briefly lifted and the city resupplied. And we finally broke the siege of Leiden (and the dominance of the Spanish army) in a last ditch all in effort with the addition of numerous mercenary forces (Germans, Flemish, Scotts, English), and the seabegger fleet. After weeks of fighting to secure the roads and levies to Leiden, the lands around Leiden were then flooded. They sailed over 70 ships up the rivers and canals to provide artillery support and relief for the city, and attacking the Spanish positions over the flooded fields on over 200 small boats, flatbottoms, barges and whatever else floated. And/or otherwise the events of 1672 "het rampjaar", the year of disaster. The French (Louis XIV) teamed up with the English (Charles II), with Köln (Maximillian Henry of Bayern) and Münster (Prince-Bishop of Münster, Bernhard "Bombs" von Galen). And the 4 of them simultaniously attacked the then Dutch republic. The English by sea, the French from the south via Köln, and Münster in the east and north-east. "de regering radeloos, het volk redeloos en het land reddeloos", meaning the government was without council, the people were without reason, and the country was doomed. They came real close to breaking the country. Oh, yes, and we ate our prime minister ... William III of Orange became warden (stadhouder) after that, you know, the same guy that also became king of England.

    28:09 I have a coin from the Gaulish senones. Not sure what’s denomination would have been but it’s bronze with symbols of a god one side and a warrior on the other but it probably did it have a denomination like modern money but was done by weight and the one I have is bronze. One of the coolest things about it and I’ve never seen anything like it before with other coins, but there are clear tapered breaks on each side meaning that the money came in a series of maybe 5-10 which you could then break off just one or two when needed or use the whole piece
