[@SeleucusNicator]

I'm glad your videos are going to help more people learn that Perseus was a capable king and general in his own right. Unfortunately, that makes his decisions in the future (or should I say past?) Battle of Pydna all the more perplexing, especially since he employed Hammer & Anvil tactics so successfully in this battle.

[@RexGalilae]

To be fair. Looking at the duration and scale of casualties on both sides, this was more a skirmish than a true battle. He didn't employ hammer and anvil tactics here, at least not intentionally. His cavalry and skirmishers outclassed the Romans heavily and they routed, allowing their compatriots to be outflanked. It was a natural consequence of that.

[@SeleucusNicator]

@@RexGalilae I agree about this being more of a skirmish than a proper battle, but him not using hammer and anvil tactics intentionally? He personally led the charge into the rear of the Roman center and broke it. We can't get into Perseus' mind to find out what his exact battle plan was, but I'd still classify him personally routing the left wing of the Roman force and following it up with a charge into the rear of their center as an intentional maneuver.

[@RexGalilae]

@@SeleucusNicator I may have used the wrong word. Hammer and anvil is a *proactive* approach to a battle where troops are split into two different roles - holding and assaulting. In this case, what he did (even the Thracian king did the same) was a single head on charge to break the enemy and when gaps developed, surrounded the pockets of any remaining resistance. Reactive being the key word I didn't use. It's pretty routine work for any cavalry commander overseeing an enemy's rout to be frank

[@praiza1481]

There's definitely something wrong with our records of Pydna in my opinion. The infantry charging forward into uneven terrain, Perseus fleeing the battlefield without even coming close to the enemy and being branded a coward, and finally him fleeing Macedon outright instead of holding up in Pella? Pretty sure there must have been some treachery at work.

[@swaminathanbalakrishnan5182]

Actually they aren't that perplexing. He was winning, and had to charge, but his junior commanders and soldiers were probably too excited and lost order. The part about him fleeing without action is probably a reel by Plutarch, and his Agema were also likely engaged - not as Plutarch claims.

Awesome video. I'm so glad you're following the new researches on Philip and Perseus which tend to reinstate them in the eyes of History. Careful though when you're talking about the Agema, they were not a cavalry force. They were a select 2 000 corps of infantry among a 5 000 elite corps, the Peltasts (which had nothing to do with the light infantry of the Greeks). They fought with the cavalry led by Perseus himself though. Recent researches show that in the second century BCE it was common to associate horsemen with footmen which would cover the retreat of the horsemen once they would have came close to the enemy and discharged their missiles.

I'm a simple man, I hear the Greek intro music from Rome 1, I press like

[@Lycurgus1982]

Rome had so many resources backing them at this point, it is hard to imagine Macedon, in their condition, defying them. Makedon's army, at this time in history was effective and efficient in it's own right, but had put too much emphasis on the sarrisa phalanx winning the day and too little on their cavalry wings. It was a military cost issue and an understandable one considering the region had been at odds with it's neighbors for over a century and a half at this point.

[@altannedjati9861]

I really like the new order of battle presentation which highlights units' position on the battlefield at the bottom of the screen while showing what they looked like. Unfortunately there are once again major differences between the narration and subtitles. It appears that the subtitles are an earlier version of the script that was eventually used for the narration. For me it really helps understanding the story when they are synched, but in this video I had to turn them off because it was very confusing.

It would be awesome if you guys could make a video abour the formation of the Greco-Roman culture! I remember that in one of your videos you said that "Rome conquered Greece, but Greece conquered Rome". One thing that I find curious is the fact that Greece nowadays doesn't speak a Romance language. Does it mean, therefore, that Rome didn't try to impose its language on the Greeks? If so, why didn't they do such a thing? Also, did the approximation between Roman and Greek cultures happen after the Romans start to conquer Greece, or was it already happening before? In this sense, I find the Eastern Roman (Byzantine) Empire extremely fascinating: the Roman Empire that spoke Greek rather than Latin. But enough of my babbling! Could you make a video about this? And congratulations for another awesome video!

[@demetriusstiakkogiannakes1326]

The history of the Greeks inspired many Romans and the Roman culture as a result Greek were the linqua franca of the Empire just like English is today and the effects the Greeks brought to the world were increasingly seen during the late stages of the Eastern Roman Empire.

[@demetriusstiakkogiannakes1326]

@@antoniodeodilonbrito7643 Oh I'll tell you my friend. The creation of the Romans is debated, however a Roman myth existing during these years claimed that the Romans descended from the Trojans whom fought against the Acheans(Greeks in Illyad) this is proven with the story of Aeneas a Trojan warrior who left Troy during it's Siege by the Greeks and went to Latium(Italy). There Aeneas became the father of 2 children with one of the most famous being Remus. After creating Rome the Romans wanted to take revenge from the Greeks because of the destruction of Troy and when the first Legions arrived in Hellas they slaughtered everyone.The Romans however saw the Trojans as they were depicted in Homer's book Illyad wearing Corinthian Helmets, using Greek weapons etc. this led the Romans into copying the Greeks in a lot of ways and the adoption of the Chalkidian dialect of Greek led to the creation of Latin.For the first centuries the Romans saw the Greeks as old Enemies. The Greeks saw them as Rivals in a lot of ways. But after the Romans conquered Greece and the remains of Alexanders Empire the Romans and the Greeks came close with a lot of Roman generals honoring Alexander and the Greek becoming the second largest language in the Empire. This ended with the Eastern Roman Empire were the Greek populations even considered themselves Romans. And other populations mainly the Ottomans also called the Greeks Romans with Constantinople as Rum. Even in Middle Age Greek the Greeks are introduced as Romioi or Romeoi which means Roman and Constantinople was called Nova Roma or even Romania.
