How did Rome Conquer Italy? - History of the Roman Empire - Part 2 

it really is impressive how Rome went from a tiny city-state to the most powerful country in the world

One thing you got to admire about Romans is how they never gave up now matter how bad the situation was

Imagine being a Roman in those days and having no idea the empire that Rome would become!

I feel like this video undersells heavily the samnite wars, as rome got many of their now famous tactics from them. Military road building, the Manipular Legion and Triplex Acies these were all things started in those wars. The Samnites, although glossed over in the video were a very good match for Rome, as if they did not copy the Samnite maniples, it is likely they could have lost the war, thwarting their expansion swiftly.

Felt like the Samnite and Etruscan wars were cut a little short in this video, other than that(and some pronounciation errors), another great video.

If anyone wants more Roman history, I couldn’t recommend the podcast “the history of Rome” more.

While it seems a good documentary, the use of art showing late republic helmets, shields, the gladius, and apparently iron cuirasses for the beginning of the republic disturbs me to no end.

Even though we know what's happening next, it is still interesting to hear more about Rome. Can't wait to see the Punic Wars episode

Looking at how powerful the roman empire became, we usually forget how much struggle, work and abilities were needed to do so especially in the beginning

I’ve been looking forward to this for a long time, I find early and mid Roman history extremely interesting

Fantastic video as always! This is a period I was wondering about in Rome's early history thanks for covering it

14:10 What this video doesn't mention is that-around this time-the Romans constructed the *aqueducts* carrying clean water into the city from very high altitudes 50 miles away. This, along with the *Cloaca Maxima* , as well as public latrines, more than 800 public bathhouses, and more than 1200 fountains, greatly improved health and sanitation for the republic. Thus, the Roman men became far stronger and healthier than their neighbors, and the birthrate skyrocketed.

Part 3 PLZ! Great as always! Thanks for the great content!! 😊

I am studying the Roman history at school, I guess I’ll use those videos to study, ty knowledgia :)

Really enjoying this series, good stuff!

Antonio Gramsci once wrote: "Revolutionaries see history as a creation of their own spirit, as being made up of a continuous series of violent tugs at the other forces of society - both active and passive, and they prepare the maximum of favourable conditions for the definitive tug (revolution)"

Finally, part2 is here! great as always Knowledgia

amazing video man can't wait for the next one!

I really liked the cliffhanger at the end, can't wait to watch the next episode the Punic Wars

Great narration and summary. Very revealing.

can we PLEASE put a link to part 1 in the description like there is supposed to be with any sequel video? For some reason YT doesn't think it's a relevant video to put in the recommended section so now I have to manually look for part 1 after posting this brief rant. This is very mildly vexing

All I learned about the Romans was this: Every single Roman has the letter 'S' as their last letter of their first, middle and last names.

Very good documentary, please keep it up in the future

I just discovered this channel and I love it so much. Any chance you guys could make something on War o Roses?

Very interesting video, especially as someone who once lived in Rome

You realy easily got my sub :D Keep them coming !

Thank you, I wish the years were put on screen more.❤

Nicely informative video.

Thankyou for making this! The early history of Rome is honestly under covered and underrated.

Loved this video!

been so long since the first part, i had to make time to watch the 1st part again.

Absolutely fantastic!

Great topic

I guess this is meant to be a series on the whole Roman Empire. Still, it disappoints me there was basically no coverage of the Samnite wars. Makes me wonder if there's any more indepth series on early Roman history.

While this video is fantastically informative and thoroughly researched I find one thing misleading in the illustrations and that is the panoply of the troops, not only did the enemies the romans encounter have their own unique tribal aesthetics and did not adhere to the Roman insignias or color scheme or even general armament displayed but the romans themselves didn’t either. Romans at this time looked very similar to Greek hoplites because in effect they were the same military unit, Inspired by the Etruscan to the north who were hellenized long ago. Its not until the first massive military reform after a certain defeat against the samnites that you have Romans using swords predominately and even then the early transition into the manipular armies saw a gradual change from spear to sword. (When it was Velites Hasti Principes and Triari) It’s not until hundreds of years later during the reforms of Marius in response to the Cimbrian War that we have the transition into the legionary of fame but even these look far from what is commonly depicted.

Nicely explained.

That was awesome 👌🏾 👏🏾 👍🏾

We were kinda late with this one, but we won't let that happen again!

Love this series

Amazing how the Roman's were able to expand from such a small part of Europe

What time should part 3 come out coz I love this series

Good One. Thanks.

Great video

It's amazing how they make it before establishing the fighting model of legion 🧐

Man I love history, It’s so fascinating 😊

I really recommend the video Ancient Rome in 20 minutes. Best video on youtube.

What about Greece and Egypt make more about these two countries history Great video as ways

Beautiful bravo!! 🎉🎉🎉

Well done here. Bravo to all

The beauty of Roman empire is that it started with only a city and ended with only a City

The Roman empire was never truly destroyed, they simply transformed into other empires and adapted as other new empires and new enemies formed over years, plus they were running out of funds which started their slow loss of military strength

hey love the video. I want to make one like it for a school project but I don't know what editor you use for the maps, could you tell me what you use?

Latin Wars, Samnites, Etruscans, wars with north Italy Gauls, wars with south Italy Greeks... all fascinating and overlooked parts of the Roman rise to power for most people. Most people are somewhat aware of the wars with the Carthaginians, the conquest of French Gaul by Caesar, and maybe some of the later Gothic wars, and Attila the Hun, but not all of this earlier stuff.

You almost need a 3rd part with just how much is in part 2. you skipped alot of information at the 14:30-15:30 mark.

More… more…. more…. Please this is to good

It is actually kinda wild how quickly Rome popped off once it started expanding.

14:42 - "and triggered another war..." (empty air) looks like you forgot to mention what the result of that 2nd war/rebellion was. (obviously, they were not successful and Rome just took over the entire area, but it feels like it just hung there.)

I still find it amazing that such "small" entities were able to raise thousands strong armies

You forgot about the war with Veii.

Okay whoever told him they were called “Sabeans” own up now.

Giving me total war rome 2 vibes with that outro

rome started as a city and ended as one city again (constantinople)

Give us more next vid must be sequel for this

Short answer? Stabbing. Lots of stabbing.

6:35, Roman ambassador was build different😂

Amazing

Part 3??

Hi, i see your last video, How did United States plan fight the British Empire before WW2? And that give me some intersting ideas for themes for future videos. - Whar if the War Plan Black was used? (One of the plans named by colors of the United States, this plan being a war plan against the German Empire); - What if the German Empire invades the United States? (During the late of 19th and early 20th centuries Germany made plans to invade the United States in order to allow American influence on the american continent to expand its own); - What if the United States were a German colony? - What if Germany were unified much sooner? (Perhaps between the 15th and 17th centuries but probably in the 15th century); - What if the Prussian Scheme was carried out? (It was a plan to turn the United States into a monarchy under Prince Henry of Prussia, younger brother of the King Frederick the Great); - What if the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand were German colonies? (Here Brandenburg during the 15th century increases its strenght and territories by conquering and annexing all German states in the north of the Holy Roman Empire and builds a powerful navy equivalent to the navies of Holland, England and France and participates in the Grand Navigations and transforms into a great colonial power).

It's not often you hear the phrase "the romans attacked the latins"

Imagine if Pyrrhus hadn't lost so many soldiers at sea...

Part 2!

Can someone please tag part 1 here I can’t find it? Thank you in advance!

"Super Bus" 😂

Now i feel stupid. I thought everyone in italy agreed to become a part of the roman empire

I love that you pronounced it "Super Bus" Lmao

Thanks!

Was there economic or strategic underpinning to Rome Being able to out fight its neighbors in Italy?

I just subscribed

14.3$ only holy this looks good

After Rome fell to the Gauls they revised their entire army and tactics and when time came for the conquest of Gaul the Roman’s had this gross fear of the Gaul people.

Pyrrus wanted to fight Rome over Sicily? What?

Also technically "Vae Victus" is pronounced "Uae Uictus" because V and U were the same letter and sound back then

2:07 Tarquinius SuperbAs. My ears!!💀 A: Hey, there is a latin word! Why don't we pronounce it in english anyway? B: Great idea!

Haha, you said SUper bus instead of suPERbus.

great video from knowledgia...one small caveat to look up roman arms and armour of the early republic. your drawings show post-marian/imperial legionaries which is not all the way accurate...

Can't wait to see the same for France, Germany and Spain.

As the topic of Gaul sack of Rome by King's and Generals, camillus said Rome is built on Iron and blood not Gold, he convince them to fight and not give any more tribute to the senones prior to his victory. As the campaign was over the cool name Marcus Furious cammilus gotten back as a farmer until his death. And 300 years later julius ceasar conquered the whole of Gallic kingdom ending the Gallic threat

The end of the Brennus story is Roman propaganda by the way. they payed the gold and the Senones left

“How did rose conquer Italy” Me “ very carefully”

Only one important mistake. Taranto and Epirus people were not greeks, but Illyrians.

Wow I like your content. Editing and narrating make your channel my favorite. Your work should be admired . You are deserve more subscriber I hope you must gain 1 Million subscriber by the end of this year. Please keep continue this type of amazing work. Your admirable hard work and deep research make you the best channel on RU-vid. But brother I am waiting for an promised video on Skanderbeg when it will come? I have a curiosity also can I ask your name? And Where are you from?

3rd part please

Which is better Curiosity Stream or Magellan Tv?

This makes me wanna start my own country then make it an empire.

13:19 ''Rome was free, not by bribes but by honourable battle'' you mean by backing out of a struck deal :O

Uh... whats up with the strange audio...cutouts around the 13~14 min mark?

How big were these early armies of that era. I guess somewhere around 10-15K average and 20K maximum if 6K alone were causalities.

Nice

Please bring the history of the chaldeans
