Carthage is primarily remembered through its conflict with Rome over the course of the Punic Wars. However its history stretches far beyond this brief window and includes a long naval history worth discussing. In this video we seek to trace the long history of their exploits at sea starting from the rise of Carthage to the eventual fall of Carthage.
We begin by looking at the Phoenician ancestry of the Carthaginians. It was these people who had pioneered many early methods of ship construction and navigation which allowed them to become a formidable trading power over the course of the Bronze Age. When Carthage was founded by the city of Tyre, it would soon take up the mantle of these naval traditions and use them to gain control of the western Mediterranean. We take a look at the types of warships fielded by the Punic Navy ranging from the humble monoreme to the trireme and the hulking quinquereme. The documentary discusses the ship construction, staffing, and training necessary to keep such a massive fleet in operation. When it comes to warfare we discuss the many naval tactics used by ancient navies and some of the specific stratagems of the Carthaginians.
Finally we turn to our coverage of the service history of the Carthaginian navy which stretches over its entire history. We discuss the the clashes with the Greeks at the Battle of Alalia and the many Sicilian wars fought along this important island. We then cover the climactic Punic Wars against Rome with a special focus on the First Punic War. It was this conflict which saw some of the largest naval battles of its era including the titanic Battle of Ecnomus and the Battle of the Aegates Islands. And finally we cover the siege of Carthage in the Third Punic War.

18:23 It's really fantastic to be able to understand the Punic language, even barely. I speak Modern Hebrew and "Adirim" is now plural for "Adir", "Great One" or just "Great" or "Awesome" if used as a adjective. "Rab" or "Rav" in Hebrew is still used to indicate seniority, as in "Rav Aluf" - Senior General, the hightest rank in the IDF. "Mehanet" sounds alot like "Mahane", Camp or Base and Sheni means "Second", so that would probably be something like "Second Officer" translated. I am doing this without any sources, so if anyone actually knows better, do tell!

One of the best videos I've seen in my entire life. I LOVE Carthaginian history, and it is so interesting to think about how much different the world would be had the Punic Wars 1.) Not happened (unlikely, obviously) 2.) Turned out differently (possible) Or 3.) Culminated in the first war, forcing both empires to turn their attentions to other holdings in the long run, the Romans toward the East and North, and the Carthaginians toward the West and possibly even South. We know Carthaginian sailors sailed around West Africa, so it is possible that they would try to extend their imperial grip to West Africa!

Option #3 makes an interesting alternate history. Perhaps, Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean continue as Roman, whereas Western Africa forms an enlarged Carthaginian Empire. I could see contests for control of the British Isles, and possibly (on the side of the Carthaginians) exploration/colonization of the Western Hemisphere.

@@lausdeo4944 Absolutely. Exploring the Atlantic was extremely difficult even for Atlantic powers in our timeline until the invention of the Caravel, yet Carthage voyaged completely around West Africa hundreds of years before the death of Christ, let alone the end of the Western Roman Empire. In such a scenario, we might actually see much less of a bloodbath in the Americas (which in this timeline would likely be known as the Barcids, or something adjacent to that), as the wave of disease that weakened the Americas up for Spanish domination would have came without the capacity for intercontinental empire and, more importantly, cannons, to bombard coastal cities. The Natives would be able to repopulate, and would likely make fast friends with the Carthaginians, who were usually heavily interested in economic ties rather than war. This could butterfly out in any number of ways, but would likely lead to the development of urban centers on the coast of the Americas FAR earlier than in our timeline, and would bring about the sharing of scientific achievements between the continents, leading to a very different New World, one where it is scientifically and economically on pace with the Old World. Just imagine the art, culture and science that would come out of something like that.

A superficial study of the Sicilian wars and later the first Punic war, seems to indicate that the Carthaginians didn't so much have maritime superiority because they had a good navy, but rather, because they had A navy. Something that most poorer contemporaries at the time most likely could not afford. But looking at their outcomes of the battles between Carthage and the Sicilian Greeks, and later the Romans, it looks like they lost at least as often as they won. So aside from possible historical bias, finding merit in Carthaginian prowess at sea, is not easy.

To be fair with Carthaginians, that's not exactly what happened. It's true that they keep naval supremacy because pure force of numbers in early stages, but they were also skilled sailors. Carthaginian naval designs and maritime tradition were based on their Phoenician ancestors, and their ships and naval manoeuvres were far superior to those of most western Mediterranean peoples. Even if they became overwhelmed by heavier assault marines in boarding attacks, such as Romans and Greeks, they still had one of the most powerful navies of Antiquity up until the Second Punic War.

@@armandom.s.1844 that's indeed what we keep hearing (reading) from contemporary sources. How good they were in sailing, or how good were their ships. But even if all that was indeed so, the outcomes of their naval battles with other powers of similar might or determination seem to indicate otherwise. Either their maritime skill didn't translate well to the field-sea of battle, or it was seriously overestimated. Hence the hypothesis that perhaps their true might wasn't so much in prowess as it was in capability to maintain and project naval presence. After all, if you are the only one that can do it, you are automatically the best at it, right?

@@Tommy15670 i agree. And i'd even consider their navy more then decent. But was it really that good? Or just above average? Or were they considered the best just because they were the only ones that can do it? Indeed the sources say the Romans copied their design. And look what happened afterwards. In a decade they blasted the Carthaginians out of the water (so to speak). You don't become better then the best in such a short time. Not unless the best one isn't that good to begin with.

I love the art ! But what impresses me the most is the quantity of ships and men as well as the massive organisation behind it all. It seems there was a lot of cannon fodder back then. Millions of people with short lifespan who could not live long enough to become conscious of the value of their life.

I dont recognize how 40 minutes passed. Well written and well researched video as always. Love the design of Carthagenian warships and harbour. It is sad the city and harbour didnt last to this day. I damn these Romans destroy this beautiful city. Thank you İnvicta for bringing us history.

The narrator's voice is soooooo much more soothing than narrator in other clips. Please make this the norm.

I'm curious if the rowers were ever taught or incentivized to fight once two ships was grappled to increase the force from just a dozen of marines to hundreds

Well, im speaking without knowledge, but they're foreigners voluntarily working for the armies of a state rome is at war with, so they're ending as slaves or killed , so my guess is that yes, they fought.
