[franzolo14]

Why was Carthage so powerful, was it because of its location in the Mediterranean or what?

[arjanvanhoorn]

Very good location at the Mediterranean (modern Tunesia). Great shipbuilders and sailors. They were also execellent traders, diplomats and explorers. The first ones to explore Africa.

Disadvantage was they were relying on mercenaries to much (they fight for money and not for country) a problem the Romans didn't have.

Thanks !

I will have you know that Hannibal was a Black African.

The proof is in the pudding!

[arjanvanhoorn]

I don't mind that at all, so was Septimius Severus a Roman Emperor.

[fokyeah99]

[SquareHeadSlacker]

[arjanvanhoorn]

[cvrodrigues]

Your video analysis on great battles are great. In a easy and direct way you explain these very well. Keep up!

[arjanvanhoorn]

thanks

[EpicWarStrategist]

Can you reconstruct battle of Carrhae Rome vs Parthia, or maybe start to do Alexandet battles such as Issus etc. Im so interested in your videos please keep up good work. :)!

[arjanvanhoorn]

Thanks, doing my best, will do Alexander eventually also. Enjoy the weekend.

I have studied a lot about the battle of Cannae, you are correct that the Carthaginian cavalry were superior (better trained, armed etc) but they also had more cavalry than the Romans.

All of Hannibals heavy cavalry massed on the left and destroyed the Roman right, whilst Numidian cavalry skirmished with the Roman left. The heavy cavalry then rallied and attacked the other Roman cavalry flank routing all the cavalry allowing flank and rear attacks on the Romans. Hope this information helps.

[arjanvanhoorn]

Thanks for your info

[EldritchMask]

Good Informative video.

Simple but effective "graphics".

Thanks.

[madofmaze]

Nice

[ZoneGrise]

Hannibal's ingenuity never ceases to amaze me.

[cgavin1]

Agreed but I have yet to see anything remotely as brilliant as Gaugamela.

[hanno21664]

i know of Cannae and another battle were almost 100,000 romans die in another battle i believe the 2nd century B.C.E the name of the battle escapes me.

BUT your videos are awesome. thank you keep it up.

[nohatersever]

[Sikknote]

These are brilliant. Heartily enjoying them while revising for my final uni exam on the fall of the roman republic - this, believe me, is far more interesting than reading Appian :)

[arjanvanhoorn]

[arjanvanhoorn]

Have a clip on the end of the republic

[Zappiss]

Nicely done, thank you.

[nohatersever]
