Alright everyone - this is for the true hardcore Punic War warriors out there. Keep in mind this was my 2nd Podcast I've ever made and some of the pronunciation is a bit off, but aside from that I give you 6 and a half hours of Roman and Carthaginian history!! Enjoy!!

Yes, finished it and it was very good. So good I immediately watched the Queen Issabel videos as well. I like the comparisons you made between different points in history to give some comparison to different situations with similar feel. Also the climax to the battle of cannae was very well done. The most difficult parts for me were the parrallels. For example, putting the Hasdrubal stories in the timeline of Hannibal. But that's the nature of the source material. Its not a linear story. I got into this video because of the new warlords games punic wars miniature sets. Now i have much inspiration to translate some of these skirmishes and battles to the tabletop.

I have Liddell-Hart's book on Scipio and I have read it over and over. Every time, I am struck by the profundity of Scipio's machinations. I've pondered if Scipio could be so intelligent without a deep martial experience. I've wondered whether he was possessed of many wise subordinates who brain-stormed for him during his formative period in Spain. It's just so difficult to grasp how evolved his army into such a marvelous weapon. Alexander walked into an army ready-made and acted boldly, thus his successes. But Scipio received a broken army which he, somehow, molded and improved, and then used in uncanny, unorthodox, maneuvers and went on to an unbroken string of victories in Spain, and in Carthage, where his cunning overcame much larger armies before he ever encountered Hannibal, himself. I really think he was become the greatest commander to ever live. I am perplexed that, somehow, history and historians managed to overlook him. Btw, loving this, as much as I did your first.
@FlashPointHxАй бұрын
@@thomashazlewood4658 history is replete with commanders that were given an army that was battle hardened and ready to go. Grant with the army of the Potomac, Montgomery with the 8th in N Africa, and as you mentioned Alexander who got a great force from his dad. Scipio had a broken force and what’s worse the Roman school of thought at the time was idiotic and near suicidal. Overwhelm with strength was their only motto. I doubt his subordinates came up with his tactics - but I’d wager they had to be very good sub commanders to execute his audacious plans. As for why history doesn’t give him credit - seems like history is in love with the vanquished underdog. Every knows Napoleon and Lee and Hannibal and Rommel - but do Wellington and Grant and Montgomery and in this case Scipio share that lime light ?
@thomashazlewood4658Ай бұрын
@@FlashPointHx I was thinking of Genghis Khan's several subordinates who were so capable they could be sent on lengthy expeditions, fully capable of cunning and so very successful. Similarly, Alexander was bequeathed an exceptional set of commanders by his father's passing. People like those could have set Scipio on the path when he was still unused to command. Just spitballing...lol.

Haven’t finished the series (started since day 1) and I have to say that dam, I never noticed how wonderful your voice is. Great narrator. Anywho, a comment on high water marks: I mean, I might understand your point about us and historians looking back and conclude “this was their high water mark” but on the time that a general views it at the time in rl, they do. I think Lee, for example to follow yours, understood that the battle of Gettysburg was the high water mark of the confederacy. I believe he even wrote to Jeff Davis about it and asked to resign his commission due to his failure. Even the union probably saw it as Gettysburg on itself wasn’t a strategic place, it’s so happens that a minor skirmish turned into a battle because Lee ordered his army to march there and ordered his commanders to take them hills and the union decided to die on those hills. Even if Lee won on Gettysburg, vicksburg would have still fallen given the north control of the western theatre and opening the south. For Rommel, I don’t think reaching the Qatara depression was his high water mark but rather the recapture of Tobruk but like Stalingrad, the battle for Moscow, and even napoleons invasion of Russia were viewed at the time as high water mark moments. Yamamoto for sure also thought that when Japanese forces were beaten off on midway while sitting on the Yamato looking through his binoculars. It’s just time probably that confirms those moments, not looking back at events on hindsight
@FlashPointHx3 ай бұрын
@@leonardoespino9780 impressive comment - you really brought up some great points here. I think with Lee it wasn’t just Gettysburg (he did offer his resignation) - but after the Wilderness. Prior union generals would have retreated to the north, Grant turned south and pressed the offensive. Lee knew at that moment it was a numbers game which he would lose. Eventually it would be a siege of Richmond and then it was only a matter of time. Rommel knew that he was defeated in N Africa as he never got the reinforcements he needed - after the Allies broke through the Bocage he knew it was over. I do wonder what Hannibal must have thought when he saw Rome but could never take it. Again, Really happy that you liked my video enough for such a insightful response

Thanks for this video/podcast! I love history and this was a feast. History wasn't truly just waiting for a Caesar to arrive. I would offer that, before Caesar's rise, the die had been cast by others, such as Sulla and Marius and, even in Caesar's time, by Pompey, who maintained his own army (in Spain) and had great Senatorial support. Indeed, Crassus had simply bought a personal army to fight Spartacus. Romans were not averse to strong men but the Senate had learned that they were, in fact, just a straw in the wind when the Sullans and Marians forced them to choose a side. In the end, the Triumvirate forced the Senate to the make the same choice and, that time, the Marians (i.e. Caesar) won. When they killed Caesar for it, then the Republic was truly lost. Caesar had feared to be proclaimed as King. His nephew, not so much. Lastly, what ruined the armies was that the Senate failed to adjure them to the Republic by paying their wage directly. Had it been forbidden for Generals to personally reward their soldiers, the soldiers would not have been so easily swayed to stray from loyalty to Rome. Again, thanks for another great video!
