Tarentum was also called Taras, and it's called Taranto today. Lovely city and video. I go a bit more into depth into certain things in my own video

It's Taren-time

Poor Taras has to be remembered by the name Latins called her

I can't unhear "moloSHHian" now...

Small constructive criticism (or addition) if I may :) Pyrrhus probably didn’t have any interest in Rome or Italy. Rome waging war against Tarentum was a good reason to sail over but he didn’t really bother with the Italian peninsular or Rome. He fought them two times in Magna Graeca but then continued his own campaign down towards Sicily, beating up the Carthaginians, driving them back to Lilybaeum. It’s there that the Carthaginians and the Romans declare a (not really serious) alliance. Instead of sieging lilybaeum (historians don’t really know why, one even suspects he just couldn’t be bothered, but he probably smelled blood in Macedonia) returned to Epirus, fought the Romans a third time on the way and nearly lost and then died in Greece when he was hit by a brick. If you have a video about Pyrrhus and mention all that I‘m sorry, but I think it’s often misunderstood that he had any interest in Rome at all. It’s all in all a very good video :)

Great video and very entertaining.and i didn’t knew that Sparta had colonies in Magna Gracia

Io sono di Taranto, my city!!!!!🤩

The one dislike is from Consul Laevinius

If I could make a suggestion Could you please do either the Greek City State, Elis or Masaesyli.

Great content

Oooo well done mate! You have grown a lot!

Thank for the video on the Italian city states

Great video!!!

Nice. The history of pre roman states on the Italian peninsula often get understandably overshadowed.

My latest antic miniatures wargame was near Tarentum...What a fascinating history, and video, Carthago vs Roma is definitly a fantastic wargame, and historical, situation...Wonderful video with gorgeous illustrations/animations...👍👍👍👍👍

Hey friend, why are you not making any videos now. Its been a month since your last one.

glad your making videos about little known things like this

Funny, I am just conquering Tarentum in Rome Total war rofl😂 *RU-vid enters video recommendation* 😝

I love your videos man. I think the Polis of Megara deserves a video. Please consider.

It's weird I've known about this town since 2004 because of Rome Total War however I never looked at it's history so thanks!

Now,...thats a good video. Now can you make a video on the history of Gauls in Po Valley? Now?

cool channel! glad i found it

Poking around youtube's history videos, I have come to the conclusion that you need to re-read Livy and Polybius's accounts of the life of titus quinctius flamininus. The man who became consul before 30, defeated the Macedonian Empire and gave the Greeks their freedom. No one has done a good bio on him, it could be a hit.

Where’s Athens part 2?

Ah, Tarentum is Sparta Junior. 😂

what software are you using for animation?

can u do a video on African empires?

You've almost made me feel bad for slaughtering the population. Again.. And again... And again....
