  • After the conquest of Magna Graecia the Romans came into contact with the greatest power in the Mediterranean, Carthage. Tense political situation in Sicily is made even worse with the death of Agathocles of Syracuse. Rogue mercenaries from Campania serve as a spark that would ignite a conflict for the supremacy of Mediterranean, lasting over a century.

      Yes, we made a mistake there. It was actually founded by Hannibal's brother-in-law Hasdrubal in 228 BCE. Although, there are some records pointing to an even older Iberian settlement, Mastia, on that location.

    A small thing, but dont quote me if im wrong. In latin C is pronounced like a K. Like in syracuse. Came in my mind when you said Pisentes instead of Pikentes. But im not sure so might be wrong

    • @MagistraVitae
      @MagistraVitae  Před 16 dny +1

      It depends on classical vs ecclesiastical latin pronounciation. It's sometimes difficult to figure out the correct pronunciations for these lesser known tribes and figures from history. We do our best to research every new name we come across, but we do make some mistakes.
