Compared to the main pike used by cavalry at the time significantly. It was also used by gladiators. Weight of an average spearhead of a lancea is roughly 200g whilst a greek dory spearhead weighs roughly 566.99 grams
@@AncientHistoryGuy why not put it in the video as something like "it was also lighter at a weight of.... Compeared to the... At a weight of... Low amount of time and gives alot more detail
I was onboard 100% til u claimed Philip and Hannibal convinced Antiochus to go to war. Antiochus in fact pushed Philip into alliance as a way to have a ally in a sea of enemies (pergamon Rhodes ect) and Philip had no other option as a Ptolemaic alliance (planned by Philip who invited the Egyptian diplomat to Pella) dropped it as there was chaos in Egypt (revolt, regium change) the war with Antiochus was pushed by scary Roman action in Sparta and aetolian warmongering
Most historical mods put them in, for example the Europa Barbarorum series. Unfortunately CA has always used simplified and even movie versions of history (Rome Total War 1 infamously had Roman ninjas and bronze age ancient Egyptians)
Gah-lejsh? Did i just learn somthing or am i just confused? In sweden we're tought they where called gej-lick (both of these are an example of how to pronounciate. Not how to spell the language). But then again, we're also tought that woman is pronounced "wimmen", when spoken of in plural. That seems to be a thing of the past, innit? With love from your old super-power, Scandinavia. =)
LOVE THIS, defintiely do more maybe on less prominent tribes, peoples, or military units. Akinji the ottoman light horseman would be a interesting one for sure
Was just watching a video of the team titans so this feels weird to watch lol, And i was taught she just called on kronos not her other kids.. and it was a normal scythe... Also likely my teacher was just summarising... Very interesting video mabey do something like white bars instead of blue for the thumbnail
Most retellings i have heard its been a very special metal, although that being said, aphrodite gets injured in the trojan war by a normal mortal spear, so there's some inconsistencies about how impervious greek gods are to mortal weapons.
What is the evidence of the use of the Spolas by Celts? There are two -possible- effigies in southern France, but thats very close to Greek colonies, while the Boii are quite far off from that economic sphere.
Honestly, from what I've kind of come to understand, I think that the Gaestatae were called spearmen more becasue of their skill at throwing javelins, as I think they were supposed to have been known for actually fighting with swords.
Whenever you see "Darts" listed as a simple throwing weapon in D&D books, THIS is what they're talking about, not the kind of darts used in bar competitions.
