#TotalWarRomeII #Cinematic #Rome
The Battle of the Trebia (or Trebbia) was the first major battle of the Second Punic War, fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and a Roman army under Sempronius Longus on 22 or 23 December 218 BC. It took place on the flood plain of the west bank of the lower Trebia River, not far from the settlement of Placentia (modern Piacenza), and resulted in a heavy defeat for the Romans.

The year is 218 BC the place is tje River Trebia in Nothern Italy On one side an Army of The Roman Republic On the other side an Army of the African Empire of Carthage which dominates the western Medditerrainian 40 Years prior Rome clashed with Carthage in the First Punic War after 23 years of Fighting Carthage suffered a crushing defreat. But then a 27 year old Carthiginian General rose to power and plotted his revenge against rome his name was Hannibal Hannibal's first move against Rome was to sack the Roman held city of Saguntum not far from modern day Valencia. Rome was enraged the Second Punic War had begun Hannibals first move was to take the war to the ennemy in Spring 218 BC his Army including 37 War Elephants set out on a epic march across the Alps to invade Italy. During the treacherous 500 mile march Hannibal lost Men,Supplies and Elephants. By the time his Army entered Italy it had been reduced to just 26'000 men however in Hannibals first brief encounter with the Romans he used his agile Numidian Cavalry to ambush and outmenuver a small Roman force Rome was alarmed by Hannibals bold invasion and sent two legions to deal with him once and for all the leader of this force was the Roman Consul Sempronius Longus A Roman legion consisted of 5000 men including light and heavy infantry with cavalry in support a common Roman battle tactic was to march the almost unstoppable legions forward in an attempt to overthrow the enemy in brute force but Longus's army contained many new recruits inexperienced in battle In the winter of 218 BC longus and his reinforcements joined 2 more leigions on a wide plain in Northern Italy the River Trebia that cut through the plain is freezing cold but fordable. The Roman commander Longus is an aggressive and arrogant leader he values quick confrontations and he's desperate to fight knowing Victory at Trebia will bring him personel glory and wealth and Longus has good reason for optimisim he has 40'000 infantry 10'000 more than Hannibal. But the Roman Cavalry is weak tired and reluctent to make detail scouting experditions persuming a ambush on the open plain is impossible. Hannibal is camped just a few miles away across the River Trebia Hannibals Infantry the survivors from the long Alpine crossing are the best tougthest and most loyal of all his troops and his large elite cavalry is unparrelleled. If the Roman Army is victorious Hannibal's dream of conqouring Italy could be gone forever but if he wins he will be able to strike at the Roman heartland and even Rome itself the stakes are high battle is imminent

This doesn't include the significant fact that Hannibal induced the Romans to cross the freezing cold Trebia River, which many of the troops having to wade through water chest deep. The Romans were thus fighting hypothermia, as well as the Carthaginians. Hannibal had kept his army in camp longer than the Romans, made sure they had a warm meal before the battle, and had them rub oil on their skin to ward of some of the effects of the cold and freezing rain.

[@cormacb2326]

@@Ladoyar77 Morale is more imporant than the actual fighting ability of the soldiers or their ability to sustain injurities. Infact the main reason these things are important at all is that they boost moral. Most battles are lost due to the army running away which happens after only fairly small percentage of the soldiers are actually killed. The vast majority of deaths happen after an army has started running away and not in the battle itself. If a battle is won few will die or be injured. In this case, the centre of Hannibal's army routed and many of them died but they were made up of gauls that Hannibal was able replace fairly easily after this battle. Soldiers on a full stomach will feel better and thus be less likely to run away. Ancient warfare is more psychological than physical.

Why do you say you can't do this in Total War? Even the OG Rome Total War had Hastati, Principes, and Triarii. Just separate them into three lines.

[@cliffordjensen8725]

@@MarkHoppusy It is not a real good simulation of the Triple Axes formation that the Republican army used. What the Romans did was to split the basic 8 rank battle line into three battle lines. The Hastati and Principes fought three ranks deep, The Triarii two ranks deep. In game terms, you would have 2 thirty man units and one twenty man unit facting off against one 80 man enemy formation. I admit that this is kind of picky, but this was my line of reasoning for making that statement. I think it does a much better job of modeling cohort battles.

Developing good cavalry is one of the reasons the eastern romans survived so long while the west collapsed. The eastern romans had to develop great cavalry because they had to deal with the sassanids who were their equals in infantry and superiors in cavalry. The sassanids pushed the romans to adapt as they always had leading to the romans developing some of the finest cavalry in the world. Unfortunately for the byzantines and sassanids though, no matte how much armor you wear you can't beat those who were practically forced to be good riders or risk death. Thats why the arabs and turks annihilated both empires eventually.

Hannibal was a great general. He won many battles. But lost thew war.

[@roberthickerty390]

He never got the needed support from Carthage and was unable to win over enough Italian tribes to really overcome Rome. After winning Cannae he could have attacked Rome but held back as he was unsure what the Italian people would do. Eventually as well the Roman Navy improved to the point that they became the leading sea power in the mediteranean which by blockading Carthage left Hannibal out to dry. The Romans were good at learning from their mistakes and loses and improving their army constantly.

[@angelosecchi4053]

@@roberthickerty390 Correct. Exact description of what happened. It should also be remembered that Hannibal lost the final battle "at home", in Carthage by Scipio (Africanus) who had fought Hannibal from the first day in Italy and who had learned and understood how to fight him.

[@oronzobarberio5029]

Different tactic. Here he used weather, cavalry and hidden troops to surround roman infantry. Nobody knows trebbian battle as the "battle of Canne". At Canne he just let advance roman soldiers so they got in the middle of the enemies. Hannibal used tricks and surrounding enemies, romans fought in the front. Scipio understood it and used princeps and triaris to surround the enemies wings instead of waiting in the backward. Hammer and envil were the macedonians.

[@mikeevans96]

Hannibal's cause was doomed from the start. Rome's philosophy was that they didn't need to win every battle ,they just had to win the LAST battle. How many legions did Hannibal destroy? And they came right back with twice as many. Almost like they were ants.

[@GHOST5663]

No, Hannibal screwed up by not marching immediately on a defenceless Rome. His tactics were flawed ~(hoping Roman allies would turn on Rome) and then running around Italy for years was a disaster which ended up in the complete destruction of Carthage. He was also hampered by internal Carthaginian politics who did not want to see him succeed.

[@cormacb2326]

@@GHOST5663 No, not marching on Rome was very likely the right call. After Cannae Rome still had 10000 soldiers manning the walls of Rome and within a week were able to raise 8000 more soldiers. They also had 11000 surviors of Cannae that likely would have made to Rome faster than Hannibal could because Hannibal would be traveling through enemy territory, so they probably would have been able to muster 29000 troops to defend Rome. These numbers aren't enough to beat Hannibal in battle but they are definitely enough to defend a fortified city from Hannibal's army. He can't starve the city out either as he would be in the middle of enemy territory with no way of supplying his army if they tried to blockade the gates of Rome. The only possible way Hannibal could have benefited from marching on Rome would have been if it had spooked Rome to make them surrender to Hannibal. Hannibal's italian campaign was hardly a disaster, he managed to cause southern Italy to defect and Italy's second most prominent city. He also kept at least 100000 Roman troops occupied dealing with his much smaller army at all times. That's 100000 soldiers who aren't sent to other theatres of war. Had the other Carthaginian generals been competent they could have taken Sicilly, kept a foothold in Sicily and kicked the Romans out of Spain. Sadly for Hannibal the other Carthaginian generals are terrible so they lose basically every battle he isn't there for.

By the Battle of the Trebia it's unlikely Hannibal had the 30 to 40 war elephants claimed in this video with only a handful surviving crossing the Alps. Also, I don't know that Hannibal had that many Libyan mercenaries that early in the campaign. They only arrived in significant numbers in time for the Battle of Cannae two years later

[@cormacb2326]

We have no reason to think many elephants died crossing the alps. Polybius doesn't mention any of them dying on the alps and Livy actively tells none of them died. They all died soon after Trebia and since Hannibal's infantry suffered alrge casualties crossing the alps many people mistakenly think the elphants died crossing the alps. Hannibal did not recieve much reinforcement prior to or after Cannae. Carthage send some reinforcements fater Trasimene but I think they fail to link up with Hannibal. Polybius says Hannibal has 12000 Libyan infantry after crossing the alps.

I don't understand why the Roman army in history was more concentrated in its infantry than cavalry.

[@oiermontero2310]

Easier to train, cheaper and the were better in most situation. Good luck tryng to defend a bridge with just cavalry. Also frontal charges where suicide for horses at that time

[@manricobianchini5276]

Yep, it happened. But Rone eventually kicked all their butts.

Liked it! Just one thing though... CAV ... CAV... CAVALRY!!! Calvary is the hill they say Jesus died on. You keep saying cal instead of cav. Hard to pay attention and hear Calvary over and over again. Ugh sorry had to say

[@mailander2911]

I always wonder why all films/documentaries/ on Roman, show Roman defeated, losers, destroyed by enemies, when actually they built the largest western empire that lasted over 1000 years!!!
