@Sarubotai Год назад

pretty sure its not really that accurate. even if the romans sat there counting survivors and dead for days you really think they would record accurately much less honestly?

@enderreaper1482 9 месяцев назад

That isn't exactly good. Most victorious armies suffer very few casualties in the Battle compared to the enemy. Usually not more than 1,000. Hannibal lost 5,700 men at Cannae and that was considered high for him. The fact that the Romans suffered 8,700 losses as the victor is terrible.

@@thibs2837 Even in modern times, there's always things added to make for a more dramatic recounting of the battle. For instance, during the battle for the Arnhem Bridge, when the Germans demanded the British airbornes to surrender, the director wanted to have John Frost reply with the 'We can't accept your surrender!' The real Frost was on location as technical advisor and he protested, saying he just told his second in command 'tell them to go to hell.' So the fictional 'we can't accept your surrender' line was given to the second in command.

I *love* how in your map banners under its leader name you put the house / family the man came from. It instantly provides another wrinkle of information for those interested. For example seeing Lucius Volumnius as a Novus Homo made me want to read up how he and Appius Claudius managed to get together to form their partnership. Thank you for this detail it is just one of many little things that make your channel a cut above the rest.

@byronwaldron7933 Год назад

It's fascinating looking deeper into these details. As for Volumnius and Appius, it was probably Volumnius' recorded affability that allowed them to work well together on the field, but he and Appius didn't actually have a particularly good relationship. Although they had already served together as consuls in 307 BC, in the lead-up to the elections in 297 Appius tried to ensure that the Plebeians be excluded from the consulship. It was Curius Dentatus, the tribune of the Plebs, the man who would later defeat Pyrrhus, who vetoed Appius' proposal, allowing Volumnius to be elected. Later, Appius greatly resented Volumnius when the latter marched to his aid, claiming he did not need his colleague's help, but then being pressured to accept the help by his own officers. During the tense encounter, Appius supposedly disparaged Volumnius as an inarticulate speaker, while grudgingly praising that his oratorical skills had improved over time (Livy 10.19). Volumnius responded that ‘I would much rather that you had learnt from me to act with vigour and decision than that I should have learnt from you to be a clever speaker.’

@byronwaldron7933 Год назад

Hi all. I researched and co-wrote the video. Happy to answer questions. Here are some extra tidbits: - Some annalists claim that, at Sentinum, Volumnius reinforced the Roman army and commanded part of it. If true, this would be another example of Volumnius zipping back and forth between different regions (Samnium, Etruria, Campania, Auruncia). - The Sentinum region was located in Umbria but near Etruria and Cisalpine Gaul. From there, the consuls could strike at any of the three. - During the Second Samnite War, Fabius had defeated the Etruscans and Umbrians in a series of battles between 310 and 307 BC, and in doing so he had penetrated further north than any general before him. This was a key reason why he was assigned the Sentinum campaign. - The consul of 299 BC, Valerius Corvus ('the Crow'), was a septuagenarian war hero who had won victories in the First Samnite War and had been awarded four triumphs between 346 and 301 BC.

@sirjoey3137 Год назад

I have a question, how can the Samnites realistically continue fighting for 5 more years after losing some 50k fighting men in a span of a few months? It's hard for me to understand how they don't just immediately get conquered by the Romans after such immense losses.

@byronwaldron7933 Год назад

@@sirjoey3137 I don't want to give away too much of Part 3, but Roman performance in 294 was a little underwhelming, with Regulus suffering a defeat to a numerically inferior Samnite force, and the fighting in 291 and 290 appears to have mostly consisted of the Samnites remaining behind their walls rather than fighting pitched battles. However, further major defeats were indeed suffered by the Samnites in 293 and 292. The Samnites were a tough enemy. They were fiercely warlike and, like the Romans, they were populous. They could also hold out in their mountain strongholds. It's probably not dissimilar to how stubborn the Romans were despite the losses in the Pyrrhic War, First Punic War and Second Punic War, with the Samnites displaying a similar stubbornness as well as resorting to extraordinary measures, notably the linen legion of 293 and the return of the elderly Gaius Pontius (the victor of the Caudine Forks) to the field in 292. Their tenacity is also reflected in the fact that the First Samnite War (343-341) was not a clear Roman victory but rather ended in a negotiated settlement, and the fact that the Second Samnite War lasted 22 years (326-304).

@l.jboylan6704 10 месяцев назад

the re-election of a Consul within the ten year term limit was not unpresdented. During the Second Samnite war, Lucius Papirius Cursor was elected first in 326 BC, then 320, 319, 315, and 313; thus all of his consulships baring the first were techinally a breach of the Law of Genucius, passed in 342 BC.

The Roman Legions between Sentinum and Adrianople were untouchable, and their biggest advantage was a terrifying consistency in willingness to die. You could even extend that reign to the battle of Yarmouk since the armies of Romans were still first rate even as their empire fell apart. Only nation that could match them were the armies of China who may have been mostly conscripts but were vast beyond measure and relied on very talented commanders who would know how to press the Romans on many fronts at once with their ridiculous numbers that outmatched Roman levies, and still it would take several generations and actual millions dead to truly defeat them.
