The Siege of Olbia 259 BC | First Punic War | Rome vs Carhtage | Cinematic Rome 2 Total War

Hello everybody! This is another video of the first Punic war. The battle or siege of Olbia. This is a less known siege/battle during the campaign of Scipio in Sardinia. Before this battle he succeeded at capturing 2 Carthagenian base :Aleria and Corsica. The capture of both were during the split of the two consuls : Gaius Aquillius Florus and Lucius Cornelius Scipio.
The 6,000 Legionaries of the former were slaughtered at Thermae and the other 14,000 Legionaries went with Scipio.
The siege of Olbia as stated is a lesser known event during the first punic war. In the video it's only demonstrated how roman tipically beiseged a city.
At the siege, the famous general Hanno died and Scipio honored him by making a proper military funeral. The consul however had to leave the city due to crisis happening at Olbia.

Dope video. Perhaps make the curator voice a bit louder and make some further back shots to get the feeling of scale

[@LambdaPsi]

Thank you for the criticism. I agree on that and i'm having difficulties on it due to my audio settings. I still need to find the good level of volumes between the game, the music and the narrator. For the scale i agree. Have a nice day
