Afte a long hiatus, Oversimplified is back and he's back with a banger.
We're going back to Rome and Roman history after the Napoleonic Wars and it's time to visit one of the most cruicial wars in ancient times, the Punic Wars!
Tommy, per usual, not very informed on this topic so he is going to be learning a lot from these Oversimplified videos.
Honestly I think Roman history is some of the most interesting stuff out there, there's so much to cover just about Carthage and Rome on their own, not to mention everything after that.
Rome is insane when it comes to fun history.
Really wish a game like Imperator Rome succeeded and was as good as HOI4...
Anyways this is a German Reacts to Punic Wars aka TommyKay reacts to Oversimplified's video on the Punic Wars!
REMEMBER! This is all educational and for entertainment! We will moderate comments, so behave yourself and keep it educational.

No, it was misleading but 40 millions was the total number, not one silver talent. Estimates vary (silver wasn't worth the same thing as now) but generally a silver talent of this era is considered worth around 400-500 modern day USD. It was still enormous for Carthage, as pre-industrial societies had very little ressources and gdp. To give an example of back then vs now, the richest Roman province in 117 AD had a lower gdp per capita than the poorest African countries today. Life was hard in the past and people were dirt poor, even in the richest areas in the world.

2 or 1 per oar. According to Polybius, at the Battle of Cape Ecnomus, the Roman quinqueremes carried a total crew of 420, 300 of whom were rowers, and the rest marines. Leaving aside a deck crew of c. 20 men, and accepting the 2-2-1 pattern of oarsmen, the quinquereme would have 90 oars in each side, and 30-strong files of oarsmen. The fully decked quinquereme could also carry a marine detachment of 70 to 120, giving a total complement of about 400. A "five" would be c. 45 m long, displace around 100 tonnes, be some 5 m wide at water level, and have its deck standing c. 3 m above the sea.

So Tommy I went ahead and did the math. Assuming the ships were either Quadriremes, 300 crew, or Quinquiremes, which the romans used mostly, 420 crew, then actually, 100k men is actually underscoring the casualties for 284 ships. If every ship had 400 men, they would have lost some much more than 100k men. Here's an example. For 284 ships, if each ship lost just 300 men, the total casualties would be 85k men. But they were mostly Quinqeremes, and considering the Roman's knew neither how to swim, while they also wore armor, and their ships were poorly built, then 100k men is feasible

The Punic wars were like WW2. Carthage was Germany and Rome with its massive population was the Soviet Union, they lost the first Punic war and the harsh treaty like the Treaty of Versailles for the Germans angered them so in the Second one, Hannibal which is basically Hitler destroyed the Italians landing in Italy and nearly crippling the romans just like how the Germans did in WW2 but ultimately lost in the end due to the Roman war Machine.

the thing about old folk that only focus on tradition and won't care about innovation is. if it work they won't improve it. yeah this strategem work fine for 100 years. let don't change it. and when they face a challenger who adapt to situation they don't know how to react.

So I did some research on whether 100,000 soldiers drowned in the storm. So, 100,000/284 would be 352 soldiers per boat. The Quinquereme could hold 400 people in charge of the boat alone, along with 100 soldiers. So 500 in total. So it looks like yeah, if they really lost 284 ships in one storm, they really lost about a hundred thousand soldiers. Damn.

Storm of Camarina: "From their total of 464 warships, 384 were sunk, as were 300 transports; and more than 100,000 men were lost." these numbers make more sense on how 100.000 thousand men died.

@InsaneTiger07 Год назад

the big sea battle could well be possible with these numbers. they are probably exaggerated, but they are sure high af. if we say its 200.000 men instead of 300.000, we have about 333 people per ship, which is plausible. Rowing decks look to be 2 levels, with about 100 rowers per level (rowers were usually almost only slaves btw). So we got about 133 men to actually fight on deck. The ships were alot bigger than shown here. They look small because of the art style.

14:01 The Race to Messina (same place) is also a major WW2 battle that might recall the name to memory. The Americans disgraced their media figure general, Patton, trying to reach it first for propaganda since the allies were desperate for victory stories at that point in the war. The American heavily publicized that they reached Messina first to save face, but the reality is that Canadians reached it first. The Canadians had been side-lined by both Britain and America to clear the mountains of Sicily, expecting the rough terrain to slow them down and cause excessive losses neither group wanted to take. In truth, the mountains were largely undefended and forces there were eager to surrender. Ultimately, the "Lord Strathcona's Horse" Canadian Armoured Regiment was the first to stop forces from retreating out of Messina.
