Great topic! I always thought that this was a huge disadvantage that Carthage had in contrast to Rome. Though, apparently they did it because they found that there were economic advantages. What would somebody have to pay you to march over the Alps into the greatest military power in the region and straight into a hoard of trained legionares?

The Mental Health crisis in the USA suffers from this problem as well, my mayor of my city threw hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars at the mental health care system and told them hey get better. Yet money isn't the issue it's how they tell people to handle their emotions and trauma. Mental Health Care Facilities here in my town won't even recommend parent-child therapy sessions if there are problems at home.

I appreciate how this video provides a detailed history of Carthage's military strategy and organization. It's fascinating to learn about the importance of economic stability in raising armies, and the impact of financial downturns on military strength. It's also interesting to see how Carthage evolved over time, from a small colony ruled by appointed governors to an oligarchic republic with a robust military force. The presentation of this history is engaging and informative. Though I found the segue to contemporary economic trends and the Masterworks sponsorship a bit jarring, I'm grateful for the opportunity to learn about Carthage and its military traditions. Thanks for sharing!

There is something kind of fishy with the sponsor of this, and many other, videos recently. Most of the time, advertisment is used to get customers. In this instance, the sponsor has a waiting list of people trying to invest, but not only is the sponsor trying to get more customers, it's letting them "jump the line", and get in ahead of all these other investors who are on a waiting list. I'm glad it has sponsored this video, however I suggest that anyone thinking of investing check it out thoroughly. It probably is all on the up and up, but all investments are risks, and you should know what those risks are.

Carthaginian army mosty wasn't composed of actual mercenaries, but of combination of citizens (who were mostly used as heavy cavalry), subject levies and allias/vassals, mercenaries in proper sense did exist but were rare. Carthaginian Northern African subjects (Lybo-Phoenicians who were Punic and Lybians, whose elite was partially punicized) made core of their army (heavy infantry and heavy cavalry). These people came from areas that were under carthaginian rule, they had status of carthaginian subjects, paid taxes to carthage, were recruited, organized and equiped by the state. Many of thoese people became carthaginian half-citizens after Truceless war, since many cities in Northern Africa gained that status. Hamilcar moved many of them to Iberia where he would create semi-autonomous province, to which these people would de facto be citizens (although to Carthage they would still be half-citizens). Barcas gave land to these soldiers, and Hannibal in his speaches clearly says that he plans to give his soldiers land in Italy after he defeats Romans. There can be no way that these people are mercenaries, they were citizen army.

As a security guard, i found it hilarious to know roman soldiers would often play a board game while on watch. It got to the point that even when they didnt have the access to a board they would carve one in the stone of wherever they were working. And to this day these game board carvings can be found all over the old world.

Watching a video like this it seems all really straight forward, but then when you start reading history books about Carthage you realise just how much we don't know (and every author stresses that over and over... and over and over again). Most sources about Carthage come from their enemies. Usually they were building a strawman with their writing being tailored for a domestic audience. So it is so difficult to know how Carthage actually operated.
@ivandicivan4189
@ivandicivan4189 Жыл бұрын
Exactly. Most of sources come from their enemies side, and most confusion comes from older 19th century historiography whose approach towards Carthage was that they did not look at Carthaginian policy-making as such, but rather its structure in a fundamental contrast to that of Rome. This approach is flawed and carthaginian military traditions most likely didn't differ much from other Mediteranean powers at that time.

They were not a motely army but mostly Punics (western Phoenicians. this dosen't mean dirrect genetic origin from Levant, but native people of different origins in western mediteranean used Punic). Most of cities in western mediteranean in 3rd century BC were founded by Phoenicians and Punic was lingua franca of the area before roman conquest.

Carthage is overrated. I used to love Carthage and certainly there is a mystique about a lost civilization that we don’t know much about. But it’s not hard to imagine what Carthage was really like. A gang of merchants and a small, entitled citizenry, enslaving and using peoples of the Mediterranean as cannon fodder without wanting to risk their own precious lives and never extending franchise to others. In a way Carthage was similar to what Rome eventually became. When Italians were refusing to fight and Roman armies were entirely composed of Germanic war bands.

Carthage was a naval power who used their citizens in navy, it the antiquity naval battles had much higher casualties than land ones. For example Carthage had large losses of their citizens in battles of First Punic war (just in one battle of cape Ecnomus they lost between 30-40000 men and still they kept rising new fleets). The idea of Carthage didn't risk losing its citizens is most likely Greco-Roman war propaganda, we have no records of carthaginians themselves, and historians tend to stress this over in any book about Carthage. They also used citizens in land engagements through most of their history , they had a period of rhoughly 100 years (out of 700 years of their existance) where subject levies would outnumber citizens grately but this only happened on Sicily, we don't know much about their wars in Africa and Iberia. This period ended with Truceless war when every male Carthaginian citizen was mobilized to fight rebels. Many of these citizen soldiers later went to Iberia with Hamilcar where they lied foundation of Barcid army in Iberia, which Hanibal would inherit. Most of large powers use their subjects and vassals as cannon fodder, this is universal. This whole narrative of carthaginians being rich assholes is based on their enemies war propaganda, if you search deeper into this you see that most of this ideas and narratives are wrong. Carthaginian economy was based on production much more than on trade etc.

Man, you gotta drop the masterworks ad. It's gonna go the way of established titles and others in a couple years. All their profit claims are based on cherry-picked datasets with extremely small sample sizes. Art is so "stable" because volume of sales is extremely low, and pieces that are truly proven to hold value are even rarer still. To combat this, masterworks has the internal market where you can offload shares onto other masterworks members. This creates an incentive for old members to enlist new members and pawn off their own shares of dubious value onto the new members. It may not technically be a ponzi scheme or illegal, but it's very close. Especially during "economic downturn", as you say yourself, it makes very little sense to invest in it.

Not really they lost because in the first war they disbanded their fleet because they thought the war was over but rome used every single penny they had to win the war,occupying galaxies of useless sand is useless

Mercenaries and auxiliaries are useless and dangerous; and if one holds his state based on these arms, he will stand neither firm nor safe; for they are disunited, ambitious and without discipline, unfaithful, valient before friends, cowardly before enemies; they have neither the fear of God nor fidelity to men, and destruction is deferred only for so long as the attack is; for in peace one is robbed by them, and in war by the enemy. The fact is, they have no other attraction or reason for keeping the field than a trifal of a stipend, which is not sufficient to make them willing to die for you. -Machiavelli, Niccolo The Prince XII How Many Kinds of Soldiery There Are and Concerning Mercenaries
