Battle of Telamon 225 BC - Roman-Gallic wars DOCUMENTARY

Kings and Generals' historical animated documentary series on Roman history continues with another episode of the Roman-Gallic Wars. The Roman expansion in Italy is spreading after the war against Pyrrhus and the local Celts invite their relatives across the Alps to help, which led to the battles of Faesulae and Telamon.

[@JaM-R2TR4]

Celts would most likely not like to have Hanibal's army crossing through... they even fought him on his way to some extent... Telamon was an event that changed the perspective for them..

[@marcob1729]

Rome could have arguably done the same thing that they did in the second Punic War. When Hannibal completely depleted his homeland of troops, he should have been mentally accepting the fact that the Romans could decide to strike

[@neutronalchemist3241]

Hannibal had problems with the Gauls on his way to the Alps (his brother's Hasdrubal's trip through southern France had been much faster for that reason. At that point the Gauls considered the Barcids to be allies). Without Telamon he would have had problems after the Alps too.

All the elements are there, the diplomacy and positioning, the maniple system doing its thing, the valiant resistance of the Gauls right to the end, and the greater story as a whole surrounding all this.

[@thabomuso6254]

The Romans learned a lot from the Celts in terms of warfare, such as adopting their shields, chainmail and helmets. It also appears that the Celts failed to learn from Roman warfare. Even as the Celts gradually adapted some Roman political features by creating their own republics. They also got a taste for Roman wine and that tradition lives on today, as Frenchmen are the largest wine consumers per capita in the world. But the Celts lacked discipline, coordination, a navy, proper operational planning (often leading to their armies getting encircled in the Italian peninsula). Perhaps worst of all, they lacked a good logistical base and relied on loot and plunder as their armies advanced. If some of their larger tribes had developed really large trade centers, they could have both built more lasting professional armies but more importantly, have less of a need to send so many of their young men as plundering warriors to the Mediterranean lands. It almost seems as they sometimes used invasions of Rome as a way to deal with overpopulation.

[@thabomuso6254]

@Jimbo Jones the Celts were also absolutely excellent smiths. During most of the time period of the Roman republic, I would say that they on average had more skilled warriors compared to the Romans on an individual basis. Most Roman generals until the imperial era were also quite poor. What they lacked were large centrally organized states and therefore large organized armies in which all soldiers fought together in their specific role but for a common objective. The Celts were very good warriors while the Romans were good soldiers. And still they suffered terribly against the Carthaginians. The combination of a mostly drafted army together with a decent military technology and ability to truly learn from their mistakes made the Romans prevail in the end.

[@thabomuso6254]

@@rimacalid6557 the French of today certainly also have to do with the Celts. The French are essentially a mixture of Celtic, Germanic and Latin peoples. I don't know if you have been to and travelled around France or studied the French language, but if you do, you will notice that there is a clear regional pattern in their appearances. For instance, you will find more taller and blond people in the north (the main center of germanic settlement), more people that are shorter, darker and often with black curly hair in Provence (the main area of Roman settlement), as well as many red haired persons particularly in the western regions and particularly in Britanny/Bretagne (the main area of surviving Celtic communities). Then you of course have the Basques in the Southwest of France. Even the French dialects/patois are related to the various ethnic origins of the French people. for instance, in Provence they say "si" instead of the standard French "oui", when they say "yes". To be more precise, the Celts learned how to drink wine from the Romans and that cultural tradition was adopted by Germanic settlers.

But I have also read that there were greek city-states which formed leagues in Italy (does Latin league have any relevance here?). did a roman kingdom exist when there were greek city-states and leagues?

That gallic revolt really got me as if you were on your way ready to crush your enemy only to go back just to quell a bunch of your homies who were bickering over who is who.

So it seems Rome's enemies made the classic "movie brawl henchman" mistake: They attacked one at a time. If only Pyrrhus, Carthage and the Celts attacked Rome all at once from three different vectors (as well as the Samnites revolt), history might have turned out differently.

And why would that be a good thing?

[@barissaaydinn]

Because, nobody’s main purpose was destroying Rome basically. Everyone acted according to the conjecture and for their political gains. Pyrrhus threatened both Rome and Carthage, so they allied for example. Why would Carthage and Pyrrhus attack Rome together?

Would love a video on the history of the Royal Marines

Disciplined and well trained army of Rome showed its value. Roma Invicta!

I really like this channel, but could you please do series in chronological order instead of putting weeks/months between episodes? I often have no clue what happened in previous episodes..

Super video

[@Bazerald777]

Okay it wasn't even a minute and an envoy was killed. I know how the next event will unfold. **15 seconds later** nailed it

I studied at the university of Insubria. This ancient Celtic region still lives on.
