This is a fantastic video⭐️⭐️⭐️ Thank you so much for creating this!!! I finished reading Livy’s “The War With Hannibal” and his description of Hannibal is pretty amazing…

[@matthijs_de_ligt]

Love Carthage❤

[@Mrkabrat]

I like Carthages system of "Small core of citizen soldiers, big group of mercenaries and auxiliaries". Kinda funny that it is kinda like the armies of renaissance italy, with its city states hiring foreign troops for small scale (and not so small scale) warfare

[@ivandicivan4189]

These "auxillaries" were part of the state, comparable to roman socii, and after the "Mercenary war" they would have been half-citizens of Carthage.

I thought this is a New Creator because of the views bruhhhh.

Hannibal used this units to their finest, they really could fight Romans head on without problem, and with strategy, destroy them in battle It was mostly Rome "Victory or Death" mindset that led to Carthage downfall, they never gave up, and Carthage failed to keep up (This is way too short to actually take into account everything so it was probably a lot more rather than this)

[@nijadbahnam9859]

The entire population of Carthage was smaller than the manpower of the Roman military . It didn't matter how many victory they achieved; they were basically overrun by Roman numbers .

[@giftzwerg7345]

Well yes and no, rome Military was better as it was more professional and unified and reliable compared to mercinarys. Also carthage only had one good General rome 3.

[@ivandicivan4189]

@@giftzwerg7345 Quite the contrary, Romans prior to Punic wars used citizen militia and not a professional army. It was Scipio who copied Carthaginian tactics, army composition (he created combined arms force by recruiting Celtiberian and Numidian cavalry, since earlier roman infantry based style was not enough to defeat Carthaginian armies) and equipment (after Scipio captured Cartagena, he campured 2000 Carthaginian smiths and forced them to make equipment for his army, this included famous gladius hispanienis swords). Romans copied Carthaginians, not the other way around, and not just in naval warfare but in land warfare aswell. It was mostly military genius of Scipio and Carthaginian system which was more democratic (it means less effective in times of grater crissis, compared to more autoritharian Rome who could respond quicker) that won them war. There were braely any mercenaries in Carthaginain army in the Second Punic war. They used combination of citizen troops and allies similar to other states around Mediterranean at that time.

[@ivandicivan4189]

@@nijadbahnam9859 Source? Both Romans and Carhtaginians rised similar number of men (and there are historians who claim Carthage actually rised more) in the Second Punic war. Rome in 3rd century BC was a network of client city states, similar to Carthage or the Greek states, and not like modern nation states.

Hannibal with his famous elephants and soldiers were in Northern Italy and headed to Rome and would win there. So, the Romans sailed an army to Carthage. They burned the city, killed all men, took women and children into slavery, they tore down all of the houses, "not one brick sitting upon another", they poisoned all the water wells then to make sure they couldn't make a comeback, they salted all the fields dlso heavily that it would sterilize the soil for decades to where nothing, not even weeds, could grow. It was personal. In Rome's defense, they recognized how special Hannibal was, Hannibal is considered one of the greatest military tacticians and generals of Western antiquity, alongside Alexander the Great, Cyrus the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio Africanus, and Pyrrhus. The Romans, after having finally defeated Hannibal refused to do him any physical harm (just like the 17 nation coalition against Napoleon would not harm Napoleon after they defeated him (twice!) and he was allowed to go whither he wanted.

[@Aristocles22]

Just remember that no matter how much you may like them, Rome's military was objectively superior in every way. If not for Hannibal's tactical brilliance, Rome would have won the second Punic War far sooner than it did.

All my homies hate Rome

[@skidadle3071]

Has a lot to do with the political system in Carthage.

[@Aristocles22]

@@ivandicivan4189 Rome had militia in the sense that most or all of its soldiers were part-timers, yes, but they were trained to a much greater degree than most of Carthage's soldiers, many of whom were Celts who were farmers and hunters in civilian life who just happened to take up the call to fight because they wanted to return home with plunder. Same with many of their other non-Carthaginian soldiers. Also, I don't think Cartagena HAD 2000 smiths, so that's an exaggeration.

[@ivandicivan4189]

@@Aristocles22 We don't have detailed sources on their training, I doubt Hannibals Spaniards, Gauls or Italians for that matter were less trained than Romans, we are talking about warlike populations and it is supposed that they would send warlike part of their population as tributary soldiers for Hannibal (take Gaelic heavy cavalry for example, these were nobles or wealthier Gauls who fought on horseback, as heavy cavalry, these were trained troops). I think you would have less trained Spaniards in other Carthaginian armies, but not in Hanibals one.

Is it true the Battle of Zama never happened?
