  • I’m always shocked so few military leaders were creative enough to try to set up tricks and ambushes like Hannibal did. I know large scale ones can be insanely hard ton pull off, but many small game changing things can be done with relative ease (like concealing a small force to hit the enemy at the right time and place). Seems an obvious thing to do even if only now and then. The fog and sun camp attack + the mule cloud trick showed the efficacy of exploiting even marginal opportunities and deceptions requiring minimal resources.

    @The_ZeroLine@The_ZeroLine10 ай бұрын

    • I know if it apply to every situation but wasn't a notion amongst some military leaders it was not as glorious or honorable to win using surprise tactics? Furthermore, even if a general saw the practicality of using subterfuge would it not be acceptable to the soldiers they commanded? Maybe many took the straightforward approach to avoid hurting cohesion; or perhaps that kind of strategic thinking was very unique and highlights individuals able to orchestrate others almost as extensions of their own mind to allow for the traps and precise unit movements.

      @maximvsdread1610@maximvsdread161010 ай бұрын

    • That's mainly because, to actually use creativity as a weapon of war, you need 3 things that were extremely rare to see together in large armies back then: 1. A competent and experienced chain of command capable of following orders and get things done in time. 2. A gifted commander. 3. A very disciplined, flexible(and also experienced) army. If an army of thousands tried to pull a stunt or take a gamble without any of those conditions, it would probably backfire or end up being useless. Hannibal had spent tons of years fighting against Iberians with their guerilla tactics. And half of his army, which was probably the most flexible army of Antiquity, was comprised by those same Iberians plus southern Gauls, who also excelled at ambushes. That's why he could defeat the Romans the way he did. He had the talent, the experience and the men. Now that I'm writing this, it's quite interesting how every character whom we regard as a "Great Commander" has some unique trait that puts him above the "Good Commanders". Hannibal was an excellent *deceiver* He was an expert at making his enemies fight the battles he wanted them to fight and exploiting the weaknesses he himself created. However, that was also why the fabian tactics ended up being so effective against him. The moment the Romans stopped fighting head on and actively avoided his baits, Hannibal couldn't get anything done anymore. Caesar was an excellent gambler. Period. Alexander was a brutally capable tactician and had one of the best logistics ever seen in History. Al Walid was quick-witted and smelled blood like a shark. Napoleon was the most decisive and commited commander one can ever think of. However, because of that, he sometimes took rash decisions and was unable to recover from them. Agrippa was probably one of the most creative and gifted minds in military history. Frederick II was the luckiest commander to ever live. Genghis Khan and Philip II of Macedon were the best at surrounding themselves with the "right men". Etc...

    • I believe most of the early European powers thought ambushes and trickery like Hannibal’s as barbaric and against the code of war or something like that. When Scorpio Africanus used just a little trickery to beat Hannibal, he lost a lot of reputation because of this.

    • Pride seems the right answer. The goal in roman warfare is to subjugate the enemy not to destroy them. They must do so justly to convince the conquered to pledge their allegiance to them. But the problem is, this will only work on weaker enemy. Against peer, they should just destroy them regardless of method. Also ambushes usually works for factions that are in the defensive and know the terrain. Rome is usually in the offensive even at the start of their rise so they have little opportunity to develop that way of thinking.

  • The Samnites simply would not end their attempts to shake up the Roman yoke, while surrounding Latin, Sabine and Etruscan populations were defeated and eventually absorbed to the point in which they lost their own identity the Samnites resisted the Romans until the bitter end which would come surprisingly late; they participated in the Social War in the Late Republic and sided with the Popular faction in the first civil wars of that period and finally Sulla destroyed them just a few decades before the Roman Republic itself ceased to exist.

    • @@Jean_Jacques148 65,000 is possible if you include women, children, the elderly, etc. Rome had kept censuses of their own population (of course, these were just very likely to be male landowners who could vote/citizens and excluded other parts of the populations) and these alone amounted to 260,000 in 293 BCE. If you take into account women, children, elderly, etc, you can probably get around 780,000 in population. Then, if you also account for non-citizen allies, it could potentially be over 1.5 million. Considering they controlled a sizeable portion of Italy at this time (a quarter, roughly?), it makes sense as historians and statisticians have estimated a population of 7 million in Italy by 14 CE. Of course, that is about three centuries after 293 BCE. However, population growth in this time period was very minuscule and did not see exponential growth until the turn of the postmodern era. So, supposing they did control 1/4 of Italy at this time period, 1.5 million is not far off the mark from 1/4 of 7 million. Indeed, the population of Italy as a whole back in the 3rd Century BCE, accounting for later migration, might actually have been some 5-6 million during this time. So, if you take into account that the Samnites were a notable rival to Rome during the 4th-3rd Century BCE, it would not be unreasonable for Samnium to have such a massive population, nor lose 65,000 people. Supposing after the Samnites were defeated, Rome had possessed 1/3 of Italy or so, it would not be unreasonable to say that the Samnites had as many as 500,000 or so people during this time. 65,000 would have been 13% of that and while a devastating loss, not wholly impossible. Note that a good portion of these casualties might very well be civilians and logistical elements of the armies as well (non-combatants). If we assume that half of the 13% were actual army personnel, we get 6.5%. It makes sense why the Samnites lost the war shortly after this, because that was not 80% of their population, but it might very well have been 80% or more of their army they could muster. For instance, according to Roman census data and Polybios' information regarding Roman forces put to the field during the period between the 1st and 2nd Punic Wars, the Roman Republic could maintain forces equal to 7.5% (roughly) of their entire population, with more capable of being mobilized.

It's so fascinating seeing this beautiful unique machine based on ambition and structured rules being used to conquer the Mediterranean from the beginning. The struggles. The moments of peril. The spread across their neighbors and the upheavel it caused. The Punic Wars or Rome's expansion across Italy is so much more fascinating than the Empire. And it all culminated in this amazing end phase where the ideals of the Republic led to such an unheaval. Republic > Empire.

Syracuse even managed to get an army onto Carthage's doorstep at one point around this time.

(Source: The book of Ab Urbe Condita by Roman historian Titus Livius The patrician family of Consul Lucius Papirius Cursor, known today as Papiria Gens, was a major Roman house that held many public & military offices in the early first two centuries of the Roman Republic into the age of the Roman Empire.

  • Great video. I would like to see your take on the Batavian revolt in 69ad. It;s usually overshadowed by events in Britain.

  • Republican Rome being tricky bad asses, old style. I love that you showed the whole progression of that battle. The Republic's government was an aggressive bunch, but I love their attempt at representative government. They were noble savages.

  • I am from Sorrento, south of Naples, about 265 km south of Rome and I am amazed to see that you guys are explaining those battles with such accuracy, names and last names as if they had just happened. Boy am I glad I was born more than 2000 years later. Thank you for your wonderful job. Your supporter. Lucius Valerius

  • I still remember the Samnite gladiators from total war Rome. They were so mighty 😮it was hard to believe Rome could ever conquer them. This is great stuff. 😅did Rome hv bigger armies?😅

    @MCorpReview@MCorpReview10 ай бұрын

    • They did have larger armies sometimes during the Empire Period but most of it was to defend the Borders or Persian Campaigns

  • It is really interesting to see what "victory" looks like in different eras, in different cultures. Defeating an "ally" in battle to secure their loyalty? Wow. With friends like that... I wonder to what degree the Samnites considered this a real alliance or if everybody understood it was essentially conquest.

  • I'd strongly believe that Rullianus the elder was strongly scolding his son for the youth's overeagerness to engage his state's enemies before checking things out, as he basically raced into an ambush.
