Watch this #shorts video to learn about a fascinating Roman military tactic called Corvus. Discover how this tactic revolutionized naval warfare in ancient Rome! #romanhistory #naval #military #tactical
For a hot minute. The Carthaginians quickly adapted once they figured out the trick, at which point it was just a hindrance. Assuming it actually was a thing at all.
I am not a historian but I believe that the Carthaginians probably had a counter against the Roman Corvus but Carthage was demolished in the 3rd Punic War so maybe their history was destroyed aswell. 🤔
Just remove the spike and put it on the deck. I'm not 100% convinced that it would compromise stability either, it would have been a matter of adding ballast to lower the center of gravity back down again.
As a former sailor in the Navy who spent time in the Mediterranean, there are storms, but for the most part the Med is a very calm and temperate sea, I can see the romans using the bridging contraption in some scenarios.
mad thing, imagine heading straight to the enemy on a ship, while there is storm around. ptsd was crazy. no wonder people were so cruel. imagine that now.
@@mokarokas-1727it’s a bit of a tradeoff insofar as what ptsd you got. On the one hand, you probably weren’t going to get that gradual wearing away at your sanity that accompanies months of trench fighting, on the other hand, anytime you went to kill someone it was going to be up close and personal. And if there’s one thing I’ve consistently heard from all the veterans I’ve listened to, there are few things more traumatizing as having to kill someone face to face.
Its of toppic but, when you will start to write the names of the music that you use in your videos? I am still searching for one particular music for 2 years. I am desperate
The Corvus seem to have been invented as a temporary solution to the problem of “Romans can’t Navy” for the First Punic War. It’s probably also why the Romans lost so many to storms during the First Punic War and was so quickly replaced.
Your channel is great. Love your videos! Detailed, concise, well documented info. Would you recommend any good book on naval technology evolution? Thanks! ❤
