Yes and no on the "baby bit of water"; the straight of Messina is narrow, yes, but its also probably the most dangerous stretch of water in the entire Mediterranean.

[@enigmagrieshaber5555]

Something to do with current or Carthage putting more forces to patrol the strait?

[@owenweatherbie9938]

@@enigmagrieshaber5555 The currents. The shape of the coastline creates weird eddies, riptides, and whirlpools at odd times. Also the surrounding shoreline generates oddly angled and powerful winds. And I'm pretty sure the sea-floor is uneven and covered in big rocks, so it's like navigating a reef. There's a reason ancient authors who tried to map myths to the Mediterranean put the monsters Scylla and Charybdis on either side of that straight.

@@owenweatherbie9938 I see that makes sense NGL Thanks for the information

[@DedYefremiy]

I think the reason Regulus came back is because he probably realised he's not getting the statues, since it was too late + he failed and got captured, so he went to restore his pride and become a hero so that the Romans started respecting him again. His ego is what killed him.

[@lamontagna9036]

He would be in sjame for the rest of his life, Romans disrespected losers

[@wargamesmaster]

@@lamontagna9036 And what Romans disliked more than just losers, it's incompetent losers (proven by the nickname "Asina" given to the consul that f*ed up so badly during the 1st Punic war).

[@brunothebat4122]

Actually, back then, it is REALLY frowned upon and not taken lightly to break a promise. Since Regulus actually went back and kept his word that he returns to get tortured to death, it shows how committed they are to keeping their promise. That is why they built the statues, because he was a sign of virtue for it.

Just a correction that Oversimplified made: romans had already fought against elephants early on, when they had to take the south peninsula and the king of it used elephants to defend his country.

[@vofvindication]

True, but I imagine not all soldiers were prepared or even knowledgeable of elephants, only from stories told by veterans. After all, many of those who survived one battle would die in a later one.

There was no such thing as a nation on earth, that didn’t do slavery, and to be fair to the Roman’s, given the nature of the time, it wasn’t wrong that others would attack them first if they didn’t. It may seem overly aggressive to our modern sensibilities, but back then, like it or not, it was kill or be killed.

On the note of mercenaries having loyalty issues or no connection to the homeland: 1526 AD, Mohács, in the Kingdom of Hungary. After the invading Ottoman Empire utterly annihilated the still medieval-structured Hungarian army, the German mercenaries with their then-modern pike and shot square formations held the battlefield for an hour and half more with no quarter given, and collapsed only once bombarded by cannons. The thing about mercenaries and mercenary contracts is that the employers always tried to prevent them from ditching out midway, and the mercenary companies also were dependant on a good track record, because otherwise nobody would hire them as their reputation fell. Often times payment was also divided so that they only got fully paid AFTER the battle. Thus it became in their interest to stay the whole shtick.

Yeah campaigning back then wasn't very simple, but it wasn't all that bad. Some people would campaign continuously until they grew in popularity, others would be sponsored by well known generals and politicians and such, or would already be popular as successful maritime generals and such! Mostly the latter 2, as the consuls were chosen by a set assembly, and being popular with the common folk wasn't as important as it would be later on.

It didn't go anywhere. The Atlas mountains. The Atlas wastelands. The richot structure "eye of Africa" in the exact place and shape as the capitol city of Atlantis, which also happened to be called the eye of Africa, and who's local nations all name king Atlas as their founder.
