[@ThePunisher014]

I find it mind-blowing. Rome acting across so many theatres, ever so seamlessly coordinating everything, still managing to reorganize and go on the offensive in a matter of months. On the other side, Carthage, the trade nerds and genius negotiators and diplomats failed to simply send tribute and organize reinforcements to somewhere as close as southern italy... i wonder what was REALLY going on within the Carthaginian senate those couple years. very sus.

[@JayzsMr]

Carthage was not a war like culture like the Romans . Hannibal basically had to raise his own private army to fight Rome, they were reluctant to support him .

[@rishi7629]

Carthage was not super chill with the Barca family.. They basically owned the Iberian colonies in a loose allegence.

[@AndromedaPrima]

They simply disliked the Barcid. But I could imagine how huge their regret must have been during the third punic war where they would be slaughtered. Second Punic war was their only chance to put a fight against Rome and they didnt gave all they could.

[@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014]

If they hated the Barcids, why they didn’t handed Hannibal to the Romans after the capture of Saguntum?

[@AndromedaPrima]

@@saguntum-iberian-greekkons7014 Even though Barcid were hated by the senate, they still has people's support due to Hamilcar's success in holding Sicily. Their family also still has some place in the senate. Moreover, the Barcid basically hold the power over the whole Iberian colonies. Chasing them off after 1st Punic war wont only made the senate lose people's support, but also made them loss the rich Iberian peninsula. They only managed to chase off Hannibal and the Barcid from Carthage after The 2nd Punic war as they basically made the Barcid took all the blame for their own errors. PS: This was my own analysis based on polybius' account

[@HoH]

Awesome episode - it exceeded all expectations. Surely, that alliance between Philip and Hannibal would not lead to anything... right? 🤷‍♂️

[@HistoryMarche]

Yeah, those negotiations are gonna stall, everyone will get drunk and the ambassadors will end up dead after a drunken brawl.

[@RodolfoGaming]

Not even a slight scuffle, right?

[@321AlterSchwede]

Macedonia had no warships in the second punic war and could not do aggressive action, due to this limitation. They had 70 ship, but they retreated when they hear 20 roman warships were coming towards them. Hannibal was much more limited than many people assume, since rome had naval domination.

[@ecurewitz]

@@HistoryMarche Genius!

[@RodolfoGaming]

@@HistoryMarche ah yes the ancient world. Gotta love it

[@CaptKomy]

Hannibal already lost the opportunity to march on Rome, right now it's just a war of attrition between both sides, and considering how many times Rome tasted defeat in this conflict, the final outcome is even more shocking. Great Job as always HistoryMarche

[@FreedomFox1]

Rome’s resilience, their ability to take a punch that would bring any other peoples to their knees, really is amazing. I think you could make the case that we only exceeded Rome in this respect in the 20th century (the combatants of WWI).

I'm so glad that you went into depth on Silva Litana, It's a battle that has been almost forgotten due to the overshadowing of Cannae. Just think If you were living in Rome at the time, you hear news of a massive defeat to the south and then another to the North a few days later. You'd be terrified

[@jonbaxter2254]

The Carthage senate bothers me so greatly. They had the world at their fingertips, but didn't want to give Hannibal too much. Then everyone lost

[@stephenellis4777]

Yep, they're the real reason Hannibal lost.

[@assilhaddad5549]

Indeed , the inner conflict in the barcid family heavily crippled hannibal .

[@jnes624]

@N Fels alright calm down

@N Fels The Barcids were not warlords. They were an influential house in Carthage. Carthaginian civic society was made up of powerful families under the rule of the elected senate.

[@Oblivious_uncertainties]

The story of Hannibal is one of THE best story to study about. I absolutely love his tactics (used some of them in Total War Rome, ;) ). He is, indeed, one of the best general in the entire history of humankind. You may say I exaggerate his military careers or his life itself, but to me, personally, he is one of the best administrator, tactician and strategist.

Punic Wars was the first World War, apparently! At least from the perspective of the people around the Mediterranean.

[@HistoryMarche]

@@resileaf9501 Indeed. Polybius treated it as a World War in his writings. He didn't SAY it was a WW, but essentially refused the idea of analyzing each theater of war as separate conflicts. Instead, he viewed the naval warfare, war in Italy and Spain, Sicily, Sardinia, and the entry of Macedonia, as a "package deal".

[@historymax3d775]

It's amazing how the Romans were able to stay in the fight after suffering defeat after defeat and having their lands ravaged for years nonstop. Their resilience and the sheer volume of manpower they were able to call upon is nothing short of unbelievable.

[@RexGalilae]

Only Rome can impress us so much even in defeat. No wonder it survived for around 2 millennia.

[@valkoharja]

This isn't something to admire. Rome was a powerful empire, but kept being defeated by one clever general with a roaming army. I don't get you Rome fanboys anyway. They weren't some wondorous, positive force in the ancient world, but a particularly nasty, patriarchal empire.

Whenever I look for inspiration in my personal life, I always think about how persevering the Romans were. Setback after setback. Major defeat after major defeat. Huge losses and barely any hope of victory. Yet they fought on. Lesser people would've cracked or given in.. Then again lesser people did not conquer and make our world.

yea the Romans of this period really embodied the idea that perseverance is the key to success. imagine if they had given up after Cannae. This never give up attitude is so applicable to everyones personal life.
