How DID Rome survive? I think their sense of self. Supreme confidence. And inflated egos played a huge part in the resistance in the 2nd Punic War

[@skyworld5619]

Second punic war in most case was rome vs hannibal not an Carthage, He equipted and pay for troops from his own cash (gold mines in spain was his domain, so he was one of the richest man of his time). Carthage after first punic war was decimated, they mostly reliated on their navy which was sinked or taken away. So in their minds they had no chance to win againts rome so to be honest they didnt even tried fighting back

[@history_facts_w]

After watching this series on Hannibal, it's safe to say, that he was one of the best generals in history on a par with Caesar, Napoleon, Khalid Ibn Alwaleed, etc. Without receiving any reinforcements from his homeland, he singlehandedly defeated many Roman Armies in enemy territory. It's also astonishing that Romans were able to raise so many armies one after another to oppose Hannibal.

Fantastic to see this epic story in movie form. Don't forget to update your playlists. ;) This is building up to be a super climax to the story. Mago is building up forces in Africa, Hastrubal is about to set off to Gaul, and Hannibal has fresh troops from Syracuse. The Carthaginian Empire probably covers more land area that at any time in their history, and the size of the Roman Empire in Italy has been driven back almost to a point before the first Punic war. Hannibal appears to have Greece in his back pocket, and Gaul by his side. Surely, nothing could stop the final collapse of the Roman Empire.

[@Eluzian86]

Yi Sun-sin was also a genius military leader, and dealt with similar problems as Hannibal because some of the biggest morons in history were leading Korea during the Imjin War. However, I'd say Yi was in a much more fortunate position being placed in command of the navy because he was able to greatly disrupt the ability of the Japanese to reinforce and resupply, and stopping the Japanese army's advance in their tracks. The Japanese army had basically conquered all of Korea. They lost every battle against Yi though, so he was able to wear them down over several years to eventual defeat. With an inferior number of ships, Yi won one battle after another against the Japanese without losing a single ship. The only times the Korean lost in navel engagements in that war was when they temporarily removed Yi from command and torturing him as a suspected enemy spie before reinstating his command out of desperation after the Battle of Chilcheollyang, where the Koreans lost 188 ships with only 12 escaping. Yi would go on to win at the Battle of Myeongnyang against a force 10 times his own, sinking 30 enemy ships, another 30 disabled, without losing a single ship, yet again.

​@@hennes22.07if Napoleon never invaded Russia no coalition would have been formed, since no coalition could beat 600000 men, also Napoleon died on Saint Helena most likely because of loneliness and the bad living conditions since Longwood house wasnt really well maintained, so he would have likely lived longer if he remained emperor, Germany and Italy wouldnt have united, and Europe would have remained largely French dominanted

The blood oath, the declaration of war from Rome on the floor of the Cartaginian senate, the marsch through the alps, the ambush of trasimene and the fury of the Gauls. Cannae, the defections of allies. The backstabbing of Hanno the great back in Carthage. The Scipios in Spain and the conversation between Hannibal and Africanus before the battle of Zama. So much history and epicness and no one seem to want to do it! Someone should start a gofundme to produce this series.

This series highlights how good a general Hannibal was to have won so many victories with little or no support from his own country, but it also highlights how tenacious the Romans were and no matter how good your are on the battlefield, a nation needs to be fully behind a war effort in order to win.

[@aliashfaque1746]

Just imagine if Hannibal had backup from an empire like Rome. He would have captured the whole world I think

[@Youbeentagged]

Hannibal had less support from Carthage, than Scipio had from Rome. These are the greatest commanders of their time, and both were forgotten by their own country.

[@macobuzi]

​@@aliashfaque1746 Hannibal was good in battle but not in anything else, unlike Cease. Should he capture the world he would soon lose it. Hannibal's lack of support from his homeland also shows that he wasn't good with politics, thus he couldn't be a wise ruler.

[@macobuzi]

@@Youbeentagged Scipio didn't have a lot of support from Rome, either. At the battle of Zama, the Roman council refused to give him any legion and his army must be privately recruited for the Carthage expedition. Also, Scipio wreaked havoc in Spain while Hanibal caused chaos in Italy also played a role in Carthage's hesitation to support Hannibal because Spain was the big silver mine for Carthage.

indeed Impressive, imagine after suffering the first 3 battles, they were already in danger. Then they raised an army of more than 100k within 1 year, many of them being young and inexperienced. The armies were divided into two 86400 for Hannibal and 25000 for Gauls in the north. The two armies were utterly crushed within a period of 6 days, At the Battle of Cannae by the genius Hannibal and at the battle of Silva litana where out of the 25k only 10 survived!

[@drakehashimoto685]

What a great compilation for the Second Punic War! As always, great subject material, information, and graphic design and quality. Top-tier stuff :) Nonetheless, your analysis on both civilizations equally is by far interesting, since the specifics, regarding that of logistics, organization, economy, politics, conflicts (both internal and external) as much as the battles make this so f***ing enjoyable. It surely is amazing to see the competency of a general like Hannibal, but also the natural and seemingly inevitable aspects in history with nations as large as carthage and rome, in regards to factionalism, personal motives, interests, and much more. Nonetheless, it is also a testament of how Rome managed to persevere in the face of these struggles, especially with manpower decline, concerning tactical dominance from Hannibal, as much as possible foreign threats abroad (Philip of Macedon, Gallic Tribes, etc). The Second Punic War is surely a great account of any aspect of human nature and our capabilities. Just felt like saying this since I'm so glad there are history channels (such as Kings and Generals, Invicta, Eastern Roman History, Historia Civilis, etc), since this subject is one my many favorite fields of study. Personally, my top 10 or so generals, and maybe more to extend as well, would be either Hannibal or Alexander as 1st (I'm stuck to be honest) the other being second (depending on which one that would be), Julius Caesar, Flavius Aetius, Sun Tzu, Timur, Genghis Khan, Napolean, Belisarius (Eastern Roman Empire) Myamoto Musashi, and some more. But I digress, thank you so much as always, you simply make my day a much more enthusiastic one :)

It is interesting to ponder what might have happened in 215 BC if Hadrusbal had, instead of trying to link up with Hannibal by marching over land through Iberia and the Alps, tried to link up with Hannibal via the Sea. Hadrusbal had no way of knowing it yet, but a (mostly) stable line of supply had been established between Hannibal and Carthage via southern Italy. That line of supply had been further secured by revolts in Sicily and Sardinia, and in particular the defection of Syracuse. It seems to me that it would have been much safer for Hadrusbal to travel from New Carthage to Old Carthage, and then from there to Syracuse, and from there to Bruttiium. But, again, information took so long to travel in those days, Hadrusbal had no way of knowing this was a possibility.

@@jaysolano3246 Hanno was correct in everything he said, but only literally. He, the Peace Party, and the rest of the Senate, had no understanding of warfare and strategic means. They wasted their precious resources in Iberia and Sardinia when they should've been supporting the general who actually had won astounding success. Victories in Iberia were never war defining and wouldn't dictate terms, but a long term base in Southern Italy would. Even if Carthage did lose in Iberia, a conquest of Southern Italy would allow them to negotiate the Romans to leave the Peninsular. This the Senate did not understand.

Man, I absolutely cannot believe Ace Defender TM* has 48 hero’s with deep character background stories. Just amazing.
