I am not Bob Dylan to simply put it, it’s a world of Warcraft meme. A group of guys were trying to plan on how to do a certain room in a raid. Leeroy was afk at the time and when he got back on the game he immediately shouted his name and entered the room without a care in the world. His friends tried to save him but instead the whole raid group were killed trying to save leeroy. They were all mad at him and that’s when leeroy said and I quote “ well... at least I have my chicken”

When a mule folds?

Even our leader a bit after 238BC Masissina our leader made sure Roman's respected him and saluted him in honorable way, his royal family was known to be the "kings of Roman's" 💪

Acdragonrider Videos yeah of any classical antiquity history buffs get into a position to make such shows during this area please do so, it is very lacking and I would love to see more large scale ancient battles especially the Macedonian phalanx.!!!! Thank you if you do!!!

Gmeme IKR. Anything being made is either from American history, from the twentieth century or has political motives. I want some love for pre-1700 era history!

Acdragonrider Videos yeah a movie or tv show similar to the tv show Rome with attention to historical detail. The real jewels were made 50-70 years ago, I just wish they did more today. Alexander was good though.

add the Syrian wars, Battle of Raphia and Panion in there

Gmeme yeah Rome was okay. I liked Caesar, vorenus and pullo. But I didn’t care too much about the incest and soap opera stuff and Marc Antony got on my nerves. I prefer the Netflix Rome series narrated by Sean bean in some ways.

Yes I do agree. The most fascinating thing is that Alexander always won his battles. Romans were not so successful although super resiliants indeed. To oppose the macedonian phalanx to the roman legion is ultimately useless when saying that the wall of pikes was countered by the the supposed more flexible manipular system. A system which was not roman by essence. The combined armed system of Philip and Alexander would been an awesome force to deal with for Rome even centuries afterwards. The renaissance of this to my view is the spanish Tercio which was the war juggernaut of its time as well. Some enemies even fleeing the battleground when knowing the Tercio would march on them.

True, even in this battle if Thracians sucided against elephants Romans would have very hard day

Vermicelle De Cheval Yeah. Some military innovations became obsolete over time. The war chariot for example. Records say Roman soldiers laughed when they faced mithridates during the Roman Pontic wars. But a shield wall was not obsolete. The romans themselves later adopted it in the late Roman Empire era. The Anglo saxons used it. Spanish tercios, Swiss mercenaries and german landsknechts. I see the failure of the Hellenistic military as a failure of execution and reforms. Even during their wars with Rome, the phalanx remained fearsome and worked when used correctly. During one urban battle, the Macedonian phalangites held fast in a choke point. The Roman could not break them. At Thermopylae the romans also couldn’t get past the pikes Until they did what Xerxes did. Same scenario here and also at pydna. Macedonian phalanx wins on the high ground and gets bogged down by terrain. a phalanx’s slow immobility is a strength and weakness. The Hellenistic kings only needed to adapt them and perhaps rely more on some other contingents to fight Rome. Mainly light infantry and heavy cavalry. Perhaps resurrect the Hypaspists, which in Alexander’s day guarded the flanks of the heavy infantry and carried out shock assaults. Give them just enough armor to make them strong but not so heavily armored that they are slow. They need to be well protected but also fast and deadly. So individual hypaspists can go toe to toe with a legionary. So hold maniples in check with the phalanx. Hold the flanks with hypaspists, attack Roman flanks with heavy cavalry and light skirmishers. Maybe include hypaspists.

From what I understand the terrain was also a massive deterrent to the Greek phalanx as opposed to the roman century's, as well as the shorter roman weaponry. The hilly terrain made it quite hard for the greek phalanx to move, while the Roman's could whip around and maneuver.

It is indeed a Lunar Eclipse, not Solar

That is indeed the case; in a Lunar eclipse the Moon moves inside the Earth's shadow, and is only faintly red as it reflects light that has passed through the Earth's atmosphere (this can only happen when there is a full moon). In a Solar eclipse, the Earth moves inside the Moon's shadow and the Sun is completely blocked (which can of course only happen at daytime, and with a new moon)

I think they knew and informed their soldiers to make sacrifices. Success in the combination of prediction and the soldiers having done something about it preserved morale. It was quite a long time ago when people were still quite emotionally reactive. 🤷🏻‍♂️

True

Probably not. The Macedonians couldn't keep up with Roman manpower and allies. Their manpower pool was basically a depleted, demonstrably fickle populace who were known to betray their kings mid-battle

Thanks bro

Well, first you have to choose which era of "typical Roman grit" you want to adopt. If you want to go for the early or middle republic era of grit you'll want to be extremely religious and superstitious and willing to give your life for the state the moment a situation demands it. If you go for late era republic grit it's pretty much the same except you'll be giving your life for a specific general whenever the circumstances arise... possibly whilst fighting against the actual Roman state. Early empire grit is the same as early and middle republic grit except you're charging into battle for your general, not Rome itself, though you do it in the name of the emperor. Middle empire grit is much the same, except when you win a battle you declare your general to be the new emperor and fight a civil war so that he'll reward you with more money and more land than he would otherwise be obliged to. Late empire grit is the easiest one to go for - you hide behind a wall and let Germanic tribes who've settled inside your empire do your fighting for you and hope they don't turn on you, kill you and ravage your wife.

@@stuka80 Roman virtues changed drastically every century or two though. Romans of the early and middle republic would most likely be disgusted by Romans of the middle-late empire. I believe I read somewhere that Romans considered the generation of the second Punic war to be the finest generation of their people and that none of the generations afterwards measured up somehow. Kinda like how we might see the generation that fought in WW2 as our best.

@@stuka80 If nobody follows them then they don't exist. One of the biggest core Roman values was a healthy hatred toward kings with too much power. Already by the time of Augustus this value was lost and the people preferred a strong, single ruler with unlimited power. By the time of Caracalla, to be an emperor was to be a God. You literally bowed down and kissed his feet if you saw him and the people (and the army) preferred it this way. Hell, even the senate - the last vestige of the republican system - preferred it that way. During the crisis of the third century the senate had a brief opportunity to rule the whole empire themselves during one of the many interregnums of that period. Did they even attempt to restore some form of repulicanism? Nah, they elected two of their own, Ballbaggus and Poopyanus, to rule with dictatorial power and it turned out comically bad. Though I will say, all the way until the very end, there were some Romans with true classic Roman Grit. Anthemius and Majorian. Proper Romans they were. Problems in the empire? Forget diplomacy, get me an army and I'll show you how to fix it.

Hellenic? Where is the info?

@@chazskillzor6980 uhm because Ancient Macedonia was greek? Im not greek btw and also not a white person so dont hate me

Even your general told that Macedonia is greek during the military exercise in Kilkis where all the balkan countries participated. Greece albania and bulgaria are proud nations with history and have nothing to show except being titos bitches during the cold war era, so stfu and try to learn something from GREEK history as shown from this video.

@@Xandergre I am from the Greek occupied (since only 1913) part of macedonia. I am macedonian not Greek. The modern Greek nation is a propped up fabrication of western Europe ( fascist military dictatorships right up to 1970's).

It's inhuman and without merit.

What does arrianos mean?

@@opperturk124 arrianos was a Greek historian

Dude he destroyed Persian capital cuz his whore bet him to do it and he was drunk but he was ashamed of his act. Then he tried to lie about it by saying that he did to avenge persians burning of Athens but everybody knew the real cause. He was not Greek and if we follow your example the Alexander even declared himself Pharoah of Egypt and Shah of Persia.....those guys will start arguing he was their king too. There is something known as DNA test and it proves Macedonian are not Greeks......he may be your king but not Gree... You may not have known this but Alexander was defeated in Northern subcontinent and his soliders continued to live there and now we have separate tribe of Macedonian living in that Hunza valley. Greeks have history of stealing things from other civilizations...like Greek language,form B and mythology is exact copy paste of Phoenicians civilization and you can search Google to confirm it.

Why did I have to go down this far in comments to find this correction??

Greeks were not unified even during Alexander's reign. They looked down on Macedonians. Even during Alexander's reign they wanted to overthrow them but were too afraid after they saw how Thebe was destoryed

@@akapbhan that's not true after Alexander the great had passed away the Athenians rebelled and scored some major victories... Search for the lamian war. Actually that would be interesting even for Kings and Generals

@@akapbhan well yes and no "greeks" isnt an accurate name all the tribes called themselfa hellenes same with macedonians when macedon rose to power many other hellenic city states sides with them and other (such as thebes and athens) opposted macedonian expancion. Well in the end alexander conquered persia and after his death a need age had began the hellenistic period the kingdoms that rose in that period claimed to be the true heirs of alexander but only the seleucid came close uniting the empire

they hated each other more than the invasors, in few times they were united but is obvius why not all the time

@Petros B I know Lamian wars. What I said was they were biding their time till Alexander's death and were not unified even during his reign

You can do that if you had trained before the battle. Mind that those legionaries were conscripts, most of whom had never encountred a phalanx before. The "sawteeth" formation will be famously used by Paulinus at Watling Street, but those were professional post-Marian Reform legionaries. In the last encounters, Sulla's professional legionaries defeated the phalangites with ridicolous ease.

@@neutronalchemist3241 Well I guess I meant in general, rather than in this specific battle. Professional Roman soldiers frequently faced Phalanx formations, a well know tactic, and it always seems to be more of an obstacle than it should have been. The first time then, yes, it must have been impossible to defeat, but just seems to be 'relatively' easy to defeat for a Roman army that developed so many ideas. - speaking as a keyboard warrior who's never been in battle! 😀 Edit - I was thinking this watcingh videos about the Pike formations in the English Civil War and other European wars. They had started using guns but most battles were still using a mass of Pikes and I've always wondered my they didn't go 'old school' and attack using specially made shields and bute force to get in close and split the formation. 🤔

Very true - a roman general quoted (maybe Scipio but not too sure) about the hellenistic armies : "always the same fish but served in a different sauce each time".

Imho Persian generals and quality of infantry were not even comparable to Roman ones. Alexander could have been in a difficult situation against the Romans. But history is not made with "ifs"

Well, the Ai knows to keep the javelin throwers protected by spears and they got Cavalry with teleport right there to flank and way too much that it actually was. Beside that you are not on mountain at the start(you can hardly count it like high ground) and you are outnumbered. Well, just Ca things. Like the fact that Ai Rome will never counquer the map wherever the campaign it is in.(Aurelian gets rekt everytime and Octavian too).

A screwdriver can hammer a nail if u bash it with the Handle. A hammer can’t screw

@@thomasbrady3827 indeed it can. But it remains true that it is an improper tool for the task. The tradesman using the screwdriver will be there much longer than the one with the hammer, and for every nail the tradesman using the screwdriver attaches, the one with the hammer will be able to attach ten.

Screwdriver is more flexible then the hammer

@@thomasbrady3827 not really. It is designed to attach screws, and even then it is specifically designed for the type of screw. Sure it *can* bash in a nail, but will take greater focus and effort. Unless you're suggesting the craftsman trains to beat in nails with a screwdriver. Which no craftsman is going to waste time on. It still isn't the tool for the job.

Well said
