Spartans versus Romans

[andresrojas22]

shamefur dispray

[longsolid9]

...if spartans ever ran towards a legion of Romans in a shitty phalanx formation, the spartans would have been massacred

[SuperRaypist]

wheres the jocks when you need 'em?

[velikiradojica]

These Spartans have serious tactic issues.

[killa432546]

Hilarious :P

[OfficialEcXVideos]

what the fu*k am i watching ?

[12331261]

those poor poor bastards

[mrfya2thebones]

thumbs up if you would'nt fear their pikes :P

[GrainghisKhan12]

Why is blink 182 in the background? :P

[RecoverRedeem]

"Hey Johnny, can I just tell you something bro?"

"What?"

"You realize Your never getting laid right?"

[Ooftyman]

What was the point of this?...

[Greenapleproductions]

My childhood dream, haha.

[masourasGR]

nobody can be like spartans............

[Estellior]

Yes...Alright i can see just o whole bunch of dickheads...Is there anyone who sees Spartan Warriors???

[Madluke200]

i thought i waws mental

[CoolListvan]

Romans are from Sparta. After the Trojan War. They founded Rome.

[jayjay042298456]

@CoolListvan Uhm. no Romans Are from Rome. Spartan are from Sparta which is on Greece.

[coel3]

wow! slippers! spoils of war! XD

[IIwin14]

actually it wasn't even a greek phalanx greek is overhand then underhand, macedonian is underhand if you didn't know

[jashan145]

romans is good

[bruwito]

This is an offense against the Romans =SSSSS

[Ooftyman]

Silly Mexicans. =)

[jayjay042298456]

@Ooftyman lol theyre filipino

[Ooftyman]

@jayjay042298456 How can you tell? Hahahha... I assumed that this just seemed like something Mexicans would do... =)

[jayjay042298456]

@Ooftyman I can tell how they look like. and theyre accent.also if you check the uploader's channel he is from philippines. oh and im filipino too xD

[HetfieldJames90]

What? Wtf? what is wrong with youtube?

keeps redirecting me to weird vids like this, epic fail btw:

that phalanx wasn't organized, you left your damn flank open and had no sync.

Oh, and you probably know that being spartan hoplites ment you were...em... GAY =))))))))

[IIwin14]

@HetfieldJames90 Spartans were Bi-sexual btw and if your going 2 hate on the phalanx then I would assume you were smart enough to notice it was a underhand Macedonian Phalanx not a overhand Greek phalanx and sheilds wern't large enough to interlock.... also its a video made by highschool kids its not going 2 be perfect, btw im 13

[HetfieldJames90]

@IIwin14

I noticed many flaws in their organization...so under, or overhand is the least of their problems

A well trained group of pikemen is unbeatable, that's why it survived until the late 16 hundreds, it was overtaken by the appearance of gun powder that made them obsolete. But roman legions were faaaar more mobile, and could fair better. Cheers!

[TheSlimLP]

@IIwin14 stop saying bullshit . spartans were not bi sexual only athenians and maybe some dudes from other cities

[froggywithus]

nerds: just because we are gay dosent mean we are different... THIS VIDEO PROVES THAT

[legal371]

even im more strategically spmart than that

[DukeOfTennessee117]

Why do the spartans have macedonian cymbols on there shield?Spartans chose there own designs...

[AllanGarcia88]

@DukeOfTennessee117 Because this is not Rome total war ¬¬

the spartan shiel uses the lambda "Λ" as a simbol of Lacedemonia, the real name of Sparta in those ages ¬¬

newfag

[DukeOfTennessee117]

@AllanGarcia88 Yes ,but the spartans chose there own symbols...like at thermopoly a spartan asked his comrad why he had a fly on his shied,he replied"Because when the enemy come near i will make this fly seem as a lion to them,"

[AllanGarcia88]

@DukeOfTennessee117

that was in a BBC or DC documental... ¬¬

[DukeOfTennessee117]

@AllanGarcia88 No that is in the book "Gates of hell."....

[TheSlimLP]

@AllanGarcia88 dude u are greek right?

[AllanGarcia88]

@TheSlimLP I'm ussing my real name... So if my last name is "Garcia" that means that I can be from any part of Spain, Portugal, Mexico to Argentina, but not Greek ¬¬ (althought I wish =D)

[xEliasGrXgamer]

@AllanGarcia88 Why do you wish to be a Greek ? i am a Greek but don't feel anything xD

[AllanGarcia88]

@xEliasGrXgamer Greeks are so cool... =D

Their tall... Their ladys are really hot °¬°

and their have a past full of glory!! =D

have a lot of history, and were the hedech of the Turks when they try to conquer Europe...

Their so cool... ^^

[AllanGarcia88]

@xEliasGrXgamer greek are so cool! and their lady so hot °¬°

=D

[DukeOfTennessee117]

To bad sparta was destroyed in battle by the skilled Early republican army of Rome,There phalanxe was outdated compared to the Roman hastati and prencipes and Triari....

[romandef]

@DukeOfTennessee117 All my respect man...i was really starting to think i was the only one in YT to know the real HISTORY(i bet no one here knows who was the spartan tyrant Nabis,and how much epic was his fail against Flamininus)...and 300 brainwashed even more the already ignorant minds of many people here

[xxdomoxxkunxx]

@romandef seconded

[romandef]

@xxdomoxxkunxx yes,it is just the simple truth

[TheGator2000]

@DukeOfTennessee117 stop learning your history from rome total war!

[DukeOfTennessee117]

@TheGator2000 Um.. what?

[frankwallace36]

LOL - I've never seen a YT clip with so many more dislikes than likes...

[POTIS1]

PSILOMALAKIA...

[Homemadebeats]

Spartan phalanx and in general south greek phalanxes always held their spears overhand, they never use their spears underhand cause its stupid to do so. anwyays im just irritated by little unecessary stuff

[malaxvor]

Those generals were pathetic! The romans should have used pila to rip apart the phalanx and then charge into the disorganized ranks.

The spartans should have hunkered down and formed an infantry square since they have longer weapons but were outnumbered.

[Androandroandrica]

always I knoww you'll be at my show !!!!

[Jimboli92]

they keep breaking phalanx..

[Honda400EXDemon]

the spartains would be proud (;

[TheSlimLP]

@Honda400EXDemon hahahahhahahahaah!!!

[Elspethknighterrant]

LOL The guy that plays the Spartan general sounds like an angry Mexican guy that got caught in the Mexican/American border!

[TheEmilGunnlaug]

WTF

[CrankCase08]

How gay!

[romandef]

you lose?history losed!my god...and blink 182 won't help it

[cd0627]

true romans would have stayed in formation not run around like a flock of chickens

[WillBlocher]

Hey guys, sorry to bother you. I just, uh... I lost a bunch of nerds lately and I was wondering if you'd seen th- OH THERE YOU ARE!

[AjaxIIV]

Fucking hell I would love to be able to do this in my history class. Fuck you health and safety.

[GDProduktions]

this was either the stupidest thing ive ever seen, or the greatest school sport ever...



[Ilovegames16]

I bet they're Filipinos. God damn wannabes! they can't even speak in english well. i just watched 20 sec then disliked it, the wrote this!

[pijef]

Is this a joke?

[flamingskeletondude]

i like how there spartans but they have the macedonian symbol on the shields lol

[wazzle552]

@flamingskeletondude i think you learn to much from video games, the A is Alexander the Great, Both greece and Macedon hailed him as a lord, and therefore BOTH used the emblem.

[555roc]

@wazzle552 The Macedonian symbol was the sun of macedon. The Lambda was purely a Spartan symbol.

[wazzle552]

@555roc The A on their shields is the sun of macedon? Weird i did research a few years ago in 8th grade and it said it was for Alexander the great, and i know he was great in the both greece and macedons eyes.

[nikat78]

@flamingskeletondude It 's the Greek letter Λ not A. Sparta was also called Lakedaimona. Λακεδαιμόνα.

[SoccerFury08]

@flamingskeletondude Actually, they are using the proper emblem. The lambda IS NOT the letter "A", it was a symbol that represented a region in sparta called lakedaimon. They used this symbol years before Alexander was even born. And the Macedonians used the Macedonian Sun as their symbol not the lambda.

[Elspethknighterrant]

@SoccerFury08 Actually Lakedaimon was the whole region also known as Lakonia in modern day, Sparta as a city was in fact the union of four major villages!

[husayn1972]

Ah high school, we meet again.

[JohnIsUber247]

Lol @ People judging a History Class's "Lets do it for the shits and giggles" performance like its some high budget made material that they should have trained for weeks for so it can be perfect.

Nice job guys, really gave me a laugh. xD

[SoldadoZ0Z]

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[theredvsbluefan]

Thats awesome

[magnvsmarcvs]

bunch´o wankers

[Draksen]

Ca pue du cul vot' truc.

[andrezaoo22]

[jack3604]

its sad because the people in this video actually did this

[McKunikoS]

since when the Spartans were Albanians??????? LOL.

[MegaPinkfloydlover]

yea cuz the spartans had fucking snare drums ??? wtf !

[JoyMadrugada]

shame ..........epic fail

[BrokenSp00n]

Where is the lines?! No coordination with this Roman brigade >:[ lol would have been funnier if someone was yelling "Hold the line!!!" for the roman side

[GermanSniperBayArea]

LARP nerds at it again

[BL4CKSPYDA]

everything wrong with this video has been said really

[steelhelex]

I think if real Spartans or Romans heard this music they would find the author and kill him.

[MrTriton41]

Spartans couldnt be that dumb...2500 years ago.... ._.'

[Metal666Blade]

These guys arent even a quarter spartan

[darthassasin]

my god if the spartans were like that we would be writing in persian right now :P :P :P :P

[Caveman135]

Hannibal defeated the Romans because he took advantage of the weaknesses in the phalanx. The Romans changed their formations to right afterwords.

[Metal666Blade]

@Caveman135 phalanx is hellenic. Romans have formation but no phalanx

[Caveman135]

@Metal666Blade I should of said that the infantry formation was similar to the Greek phalanx pre-battle of Cannae, mis-wording on my part. The Roman formation shared some of the same weaknesses of the Phalanx: lack of flexibility and weak at rear and flanks...

[Metal666Blade]

@Caveman135 it is simular but romans did not lack flexibility. They had hellenic discipline and barbarian agility. And all factions in history had rear and flank problems but the weakest was the phalanx in that sense. Besides for a phalanx you require spears wich legionaires didn't use (the pillum is a javelin but doesnt count as spear) but the auxilliaries could have had spears with the function of protecting the main bodies flanks.

[Caveman135]

@Metal666Blade The triarii fought in phalanx formation in the early Republic era. After Hannibal's double envelopement at the Battle of Cannae, the Romans changed their military doctrine.

[RalphyGreene]

@Caveman135 I assumed they kept phalanx but they used a mix of reserve troops and calvary to flank. Didnt ceaser still use phalanx against gauls, and also pompey?

[Caveman135]

@RalphyGreene Ceaser might of used it, but it was no longer the heavy infantry standard by his time.

[RalphyGreene]

@Caveman135 well didnt pompey use it around that time when he invaded western asia and fought the parthians I mean even heavy parthian calvary had problems ramming the roman lines because their lines were so well held.

[RalphyGreene]

@Caveman135 Oh also the battle when the romans fought the britons and they had some silly warrior queen I believe they also used a phalanx with heavy infantry to win a decesive battle against the briton united tribes.

[Caveman135]

@RalphyGreene They used the standard wedge formation at the Battle of Watling Street

[markbarry8932520]

gayer than aids

[darknessesknife]

0:17there were Persians in the spartan army?

[George71995]

Μεγάλη μαλακία it sucks

[ivarblaauw1]

I always wondered if the empire of rome still has existed, if Greece and Rome (maybe Carthago) were allies. Just guessing now :P (A), btw, its really awesome, Looks a bit like L.A.R.P. :P

[Metal666Blade]

@ivarblaauw1 I wish that had happened that would have meant that the west weould have conquered the world

[ivarblaauw1]

@Metal666Blade

well didn't they really, Europe, USA, Australia... well i agree with you, then there maybe would never have been a world war... All those lives which would have been spared if there had been peace then...

[Metal666Blade]

@ivarblaauw1 i blame the barbarians and the huns

[InnocentEX]

Roman Legionaries are superior in infantry fighting to Greek Levies. Not to mention completely different periods. The Marius reforms happened over 200 years after Roman troops stormed Greece. If they wanted to create a match for the Romans they would of used light cavalry, Rome fell to such barbarian tactic.

[r2d2qa]

I wish our history teacher was cool enough to do this... :'|

[gangstarz5]

for someone too insult the phalanx that much well it bring a tear to my eye

lol jokeing

but epic fail

[PresidentDRCI]

nice cardboard and tin foil shields. -_- and what are the helmets made from? one of those cheap fireman helmets cut up.

[icarogleidson]

SEUS BOSTASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[link6248icp]

this guys need train neither spartans or romans wouldnt charge and the spartans less if they are making a falanx

[gunsareforkids]

gay

[bobandjoeloveJB]

the phalanx broke IMPOSIBLE!!!!!!!!!

[TheAwesomeOpossumCo]

dude... thats like... the worst phalanx recreation I've ever seen in my life.

[MrJ0rn]

Epic phalanx formation fail -_-

[BOBMARLYRULZdontwory]

when i did the warrior dash, i dressed as a spartan

[Prestonimore32]

1:12 someone lost their shoe

[dendei8]

you guys made shave out of Sparta!!!!!!!!!

(Leonidas in Olympus) : Thos Sonuva!!!!!!!!!

[AlbertusMagnus100]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC The battle of Elos? Never heard of it, nor can I find any mention of it in all the internet. Sir, I daresay you have invented a historical event! As for the "gay", pedastry (man-boy love, nowadays) WAS state and culturally institutionalised, so yes, the Greeks were gay to a degree lol

[imzchry]

This is the most fail reinactment ever of spartans AND Romans, The phalanx looked like a bunch of retarded dipshits trying to go through a car was to clean their shields -.- They didnt hold their shields on the side this made them lose COMPLETE momentum and 2 shitty ass spear holding conduct then the formations of both looks like angry mobs If you do somthing like this do it right -.-

[kyleak91798]

i wonder if any of them "accidentally" hit another person with those mopping broom sticks when they were running XD

[ghaiscioch]

looking forward to the girl's play? i thought thats what this was.

[Vildramon22]

whats the name of the song?

[oOIIProductionsllOo]

@Vildramon22 All the Small Things - Blink 182

[Tombking2]

Nice shiny plastic shields.

[coldfyre18]

The Greeks have Kratos. Nuff' said. Just kidding.

In all seriousness, Roman legionaries would win in a close fight against Spartans. I'm not saying that Spartans suck.

[mikeriddlevideo]

you call them Soldiers?

[BontaHD]

yeh thanks for ending it at the best bit

[zh0LiEr21]

hahaha at 1:12 the dude at the back loses his shoe :P

[MrGilles1990]

Rome would win, the phalanx is weak compared to the versatility of the legions.

[tuintu]

@MrGilles1990

i say no. because phalanx was an impenetrable form.

[AlbertusMagnus100]

@tuintu impenetrable...except for its sides...and rear...and if you break through anywhere in the line, the rest of the phalanx is fucked...and who do you think the Romans where fighting against in Greece? The Phalanx. Rome wins, hands down.

[maaderllin]

@tuintu There is no such thing as an impenetrable form. Maniple's versatibility and mobility, and the nature of the roman weapons were all superior to greek and macedonian phalanxes. Read "The art of war" of Machiavelli :P (Not to be confused with Sun Tzu's art of war)

[MrGilles1990]

@tuintu their was a reason the Romans abandoned the phalanx.

Lack of versatility weak flanks weak at the rear and so on ...

And their was a reason why the Romans defeated the Greeks.

[brammatie2]

the spartan shields where a lot bigger

[Eliaeugubino93]

questi de roma e de sparta nn sanno nnt

[NotHIVItsFullSquaids]

worst phalanxe ever

[zmaj54]

@NotHIVItsFullSquaids LOL! Well said.

[BeastTron1000]

To day we take it baaack, today we take it baaack! For Sparta*voice cracks*-very enthusiastic

[BlankMaster000]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC Your not even from greece lol fail...

[Chansulus]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC dumb ass there are no spartans they stoped having kids helot slaves made up the bulk of there army before it fell officers were the only spartans left maby 800 by 100 bc.

[deadmansguide]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC Rome Conquered Greece did they not. Sparta was in Greece was it not. so that means the Spartans(you) lost against the Romans. one battle oh well.

[MegaEllerman]

is that leader macedonian prince of macedon?

[SoCalSummerSquad]

lololol lamest thing ive ever seen, but still so funny

[killerclown789]

Why don't they fucking hit each other? Fucking pussies don't deserve to dress up as Spartans.

[Chansulus]

wtf is going on romans get them gay greeks now !!!!

[powerlong1]

Wtf?

[aldrinjeffmercado]

ano to rayot sa kalye?

[Artyom2012]

Well, those Spartans who actually could face Romans were even worse fit warriors. They were some pathetic lazy drunkards by then, no match to the badass Leonidas' team at Thermopiles.

[Mr1234niels1234]

they cant even hold the speers straight wow i don't wanna know what is the meaning of this and the shields of the romans are like cardboard hahaha

[risker34]

@Mr1234niels1234 the shields of the Spartans are like cardboard covered in tin foil

[Mr1234niels1234]

@risker34 epic fail

[nachoooot1]

gay music...

[MMODawg]

@nachoooot1 Blink 182 isn't gay my friend, it may not be appropriate for what they're showing, but still :/

[ANDREA77464]

@nachoooot1 you are such GAY

[stefanmn]

shields ar to small for the spartans

they were from neck to knee

[Sargonikum]

THIS IS SPARTAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pits15]

300 dislikes this.

[iggy2k10]

dat is so retarded wasted my time on this video whats the point of it

[Pasty1010]

shileds are to small nice no spear wall just run away in a word gay

[TheTrynotaker]

this es very GAY

[VictumRoManius]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC Wow... 300 cavalriests in battles which often are made up by tens of thousands of soldiers...

Btw why are you calling it misinformation when it does not agree with your views?? I love all civilizations, but there is a reason why romans powned the greeks...

[alternativebassist]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC except the Romans beat Sparta in the Laconian war against Nabis...and Areus never fought the Romans...they were in the middle of the Punic wars during his reign...Areus was known for his defeat of Pyrrhus of Epirus at the siege of Sparta...

[alternativebassist]

@ArkoudoROMANTIC Greek Norman? And you call yourself a historian? Cute =) sorry but the first thing a historian does is read... that's exactly what I said about the Spartans; they dedicated their lives to war...unless you got your names mixed up in which case someone should tell you that Romans trained nowhere near as hard as the Spartans; they relied on professional volunteers provided with superior weaponry, strategy and technology, supplemented with auxiliaries and mercenaries.

[jassell73]

this lot couldn`t organize a game of hide and seek...

[Jonth93]

what's the song? IS THE BAND SUM 41? :p

[gzu17]

@AwokenDemon If you take a closer look you'd notice none of these dudes are white. They are, however, skinny.

What year is this? Isn't Sir Lozada gone already?

[0mp0y]

Is this in Diliman?! =)



[RafaeLMProductions]
