Battle of Tifernum, 297 BC ⚔️ Struggle for the mastery of Italy ⚔️ Third Samnite War (Part 1) 

I've never bought a product to support a channel before but I got 10 sq ft to support the channel. Lets build our kingdom!

This is going to be a really interesting series to watch.

This is indeed a breath of fresh air.

DearHistory Marche Please do some more research before you accept sponsorship. Those 1-meter plots are known as souvenir plots and you have no legal ownership of the land and the company regularly "sells" the same plot to multiple people in addition to this under the Land Registry (Scotland) Act 2012 the sale and registration of those plots are illegal in addition to this since 1538 all titles in Scotland have been regulated by what is known as the Court of Lord Lyon and they do not recognize these titles. If this wasn't bad enough there is absolutely no evidence of any conservation work being carried out by the groups involved. The Illegal use and creation of fraudulent titles in Scotland and the actions of multiple companies (all from outside Scotland) taking advantage of innocent people are of great concern and cause a lot of offense in Scotland.

This is disheartening.

Carthage thrice. 👍🏼

The magic of conscript armies. The astonishing thing was their ability to train into effectiveness in a short time. Partly because of the system within which they fought

It wasn't without cost though. Generations of warfare basically obliterated the Roman middle class.

Romans during the Republic had a very particular and strong sense of honor accompanied by an inmeasurable national pride. Do you see examples like this video Fabius rejecting being made consul since he was not eligible at the time. Or Torquatus killing his own son for defying orders. Or Regulus returning to Carthage by his own volition after informing Rome of his defeat only to be executed. Dignitas. It speaks volumes about stubborness, about an unfathomable national pride, about the morale of a State capable of putting itself together over and over as many times as it needs in order to outlast its enemies.

The number one quality of Rome that let to Her dominance was perseverance! The Romans simply never gave up.

Great minds think alike (:

Caesars first real battle in Gaul was a Noob box, I also believe this was his first consular command so he really was a noob at the time of the battle.

If you are attacked from all 4 sides it is great to protect projectiles and the general, but if the enemy is smart and focus all the preassure in one side you have left the three other sides of the square idle.

of coure it is, whats so hard to believe about that, makes complete sense

Who would have thought that the world's first noob is older than Jesus.

Funny how historical artifacts have an undeniable tendency to end up the private property of English aristocrats...

@@mnk9073 the Pope got his hands on it first, then he gifted it to a French scholar, who sold it to an Englishman.

@@justinove7521 the popes turned rome from a proud city to a den of fancy clothed thieves.

@@justinove7521 who tf sells something gifted by a pope

Why doesn’t it surprise me that it ended up in the hands of the British

The Swedes will go on beating us for a long time, but eventually they will teach us how to beat them* - peter the great of russia* They learned well after the romans.

Also the ability to recover from devastating losses. To lose 80,000 men at Cannae, then just raise another army is remarkable.

@@LEFT4BASS Roman matrons birthing go BRRRRRRRRRRR

@@jacobs5697 Swedes failed to learn from the romans who annihilated their mortal enemies and salted their earth. Russia could've been part of sweden had they been more ruthless as a people.

@postblitz peter the great squashed sweden

No, just appropriate precautions...

Just scouting wtf.

We just need to be sacrificing more to the algorithm with comments like this.

Do you know any channels that do cover the early Roman history?

@@DavidbarZeus1 invicta does, not a lot of battles tho. Kings and generals also

Yeah, I haven't done Rome in a while. This was nice change of pace

True, it's been about 2300 years since the last one

@@HistoryMarche and a well welcomed one too 👍

@@HistoryMarche AND PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!! STOP TRYING TO SELL "PLOTS OF LAND" ON MY LAND LMAO! WE THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND NEVER GAVE YOU OR THAT COMPANY PERMISSION TO JUST SELL PLOTS OF LAND. THANKS AND GOOD DAY.

@@Nozylatten Lol, username checks out.

Yes, soon

@@HistoryMarche please

@@HistoryMarche YESSSSSSSSSSSS

Early Rome before they got big is fascinating.

This story just gets better and better.

That is literally something that would be in a fantasy book haha

Knowing Crows It probably had a bone to pick with the Gaul and wanted him dead. Never kill a Crows partner. They remember and they can hold grudges

Valerius had druid as a subclass

Really? It’s almost like that’s in the video and this comment is stupid

@@Nova-cg5su 😂

@@Nova-cg5su lol

@@Nova-cg5su I actually saw this comment before the premiere started. So he didnt know that historymarche would include that in the video

he's not like his grandfather, he failed miserably vs the Carthages

I put it on 1.5 speed, it's perfect.

Agree!

What was different about the Roman way of war that allowed them to conquer all their neighboring peoples? What edge did they have?

@@Cyberpunkerify There were a number of factors. Their aristocracy encouraged war mongering, since one would rise through the political ranks largely through military success, and Roman aristocrats had one year to win eternal glory for themselves and their family, and maybe, through their success, win a triumph and a second consulship. A key feature of Roman aristocratic culture was the desire to match and exceed the military achievements of one's ancestors, and aristocratic families were repeatedly reminded of their ancestors' achievements. Another factor was the Roman practice of absorbing cities as allies. These cities supplied military manpower and, perhaps even more importantly, through the extending of citizenship they expanded the tax-base for Rome. Rome's expansion between the fourth century BC and 167 BC depended on the tributum tax, and from 338 BC, with the settlement at the end of the Latin War (when they granted citizenship to the Latins and Campanians), they were able to expand their tax-base three-fold. The tributum tax ended in 167 BC because of the surplus wealth acquired from conquest in the eastern Mediterranean, but by then Rome was already the all-powerful hegemon of the Mediterranean. Their power had been increasingly secure ever since the Treaty of Apamea in 188. The fact that they also allied themselves with aristocratic elites in other cities would have also been useful. By allying with those already in power in other cities, they had many elites across Italy on their side. In contrast, Athens forcibly installed democracies in allied cities. The Romans, unlike the Athenians, also didn't demand an excessive tribute. The tributum tax was the same modest tax that Roman citizens also paid in Rome itself. It wasn't an excessive exploitation of Rome's allies. As long as the allied elites weren't being bled dry of their wealth, they'd be willing to pay the tributum tax or provide military manpower.

How much time is spent doing research for a famous battle of antiquity? Do you have to spend most of your time going to physical libraries or can you do most of your research on the internet?

@@ericwoods6286 I already knew what to look for - which sources to check, which scholarship to check. So I spent a day writing Part 3, for example (I've also already spent a long time thinking about the Third Samnite War, so I already pretty much knew what I'd be writing). Many ancient sources are available online, and anyone who is a member of a university library also has access to a heap of online resources. For example, the University of Sydney library, which I use, has many many e-books, and so I can check things from home.

@@byronwaldron7933 The romans back then were able to muster large armies, often out-recruiting foes, like Carthage. I have long been interested in how they managed to do so better than anybody they faced. Do you have an explanation as to what enabled them to do so? Thank you for your efforts, much appreciated! P.S. great episode!

Lake trasimine...just a few decades down the road

The noob box almost never worked since the troops drowned and died suffocated and crushed each other, morale suffered greatly

@@fjk1728 thats false. The noob square always work, especially if you play the Greeks. As the macedoniast its tricky cause they dont have armour and have low morale. But armoured hoplites are OP 😀

Part 2 coming soon.

Thanks for watching!

Thank you very much!

Kings and Generals hearted this comment and then de hearted it, sad

at least he aint totally being biasaed about ukraine like almost every channel youtuber that unrealisticly states that russia will be stopped no matter what, and proceeds to make docos about russia future downfall lol He is sometimes biased but not as biased as others.

@@jacobs5697 some other channels do tend to exaggerate however whatever these channel say are mostly factual and then best amongst these channels are HistoryMarche

@@damiyoflapies8473 I understand history Marche is one of mu favorite channels because it is somewhat factual mostly and they correct them selves if they stated a common mistake of a certain event thats small notice

the best part is that the samnite didn't know that the scouts detected them.

the thing is a lot of the educated in greece knew about battles going back thousands of years and kept records of it and even the library of alexandria had countless battles that we dont know what happened. Same with the byzantines imperial library after the 4th crusade in which the pope and vatican basically censured and destroyed a lot of history out that didn't agree with their viewpoint.... Sad that both the muslim religion and the western christains destroyed history so they can grow their own power...

@@jacobs5697 I'm sure there would have been stories of the civilization(s) before the Younger Dryas destruction 13,000 years ago, too. Pergamon, Alexandria, and the Dorian invasion of Greece kind of destroyed a TON of history, including many kingdoms and empires lesser known for their libraries that fell

Well damn, that's some dedicated and ballsy commander!

soon
