@@mathewalden9277 The problem is that Hannibal had a dwindling army of about 50,000 after Cannae that he would have had to take the risk of dispersing in order to surround Rome, a massive city rivaled by no other at the time with a population in the hundreds of thousands. The Romans had the sheer numbers to prevent him from completely cutting off Rome and would have recalled everything they had in Italy to defend the city, and even with siege weapons actually assaulting the city would have been nearly impossible with such a small army. Rome was willing to win at all costs in both of the Punic Wars and would never have surrendered unless their whole empire had been turned to ash. This was something Hannibal knew, which is why he never tried. Hannibal's inability to disperse his army or gather any significant reinforcements was something the Romans realized and exploited thoroughly after Cannae, using their massive numbers to harass Hannibal's army while avoiding fighting him directly. They were able to slowly isolate his army and beat down his allies, taking back Capua despite Hannibal's desperate attempts to save his allies. The big thing that could have made a siege of Rome work is if Hannibal had been able to get the Central Italian tribes (such as the Etruscans) to revolt against Rome, but a combination of their prosperity under Roman rule and Hannibal's reliance on Gallic forces, the mortal enemies of the Central Italians, made that impossible. The only other thing that could have saved Hannibal's campaign is if his brother, Hasdrubal, had not been decimated by the Romans while trying to bring a reinforcing army. It was after that point that the situation was completely lost. Hannibal was a military genius but he was fighting against insane odds as the only competent Carthaginian commander. With Carthage meanwhile losing in Iberia and failing at every attempt to reinforce him there was basically nothing he could have done.

Hey, here's something to cheer you up (from Caepio's Wikipedia page - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quintus_Servilius_Caepio?wprov=sfla1) "Caepio was convicted, and was given the harshest sentence allowable: he was stripped of his citizenship, forbidden fire and water within eight hundred miles of Rome, nominally fined 15,000 talents (about 825,000 lb) of gold, and forbidden to see or speak to his friends or family until he had left for exile..." "...Two versions detail what happened thereafter: according to one, Caepio died in prison and his body, mangled by the executioner, was put on display on the Gemonian steps; however, according to the more commonly accepted version, he spent the rest of his life in exile in Smyrna in Asia Minor." So, yeah, while he did initially get rich from plundering the Tolosan temples, justice eventually caught up to him. Could've been harsher, though.

Good stuff! Very informative. I would like to add some details on the background of the Marian reforms, that I learnt in history class and through literature. 1) Roman upper-class mentality was highly individualistic and competitive. The scale for conquests and new triumphs was also continuously pressuring aristocrats to seek bigger gains and more glory, for the 'gens' ('family', but more nuanced) and the republic. This explains Roman aristocratic commanders' seemingly irrational and combative behavior vs foreign enemies and vs low-born competitors. 2) Campaigning seasons were short and political offices were shared. Combined with the mentalities among aristocrats, this drove many individual commanders to seek quick glory and take huge risks. See Caepio's lone charge at Arausio with huge losses as a result. Caesar's political/military career also provides examples of both 1) and 2). 3) Before the reforms, soldiers were drawn from land-owning farmers, who could afford to buy equipment. As Rome expanded, campaigns took place further away from home and for more extended periods. In addition, partly as a result of risk-taking among Roman commanders, field armies incurred huge losses more frequently. This meant substantial amounts of land were left untended and went bankrupt, to be snapped up by larger land-owners on the cheap. Conquests also meant more slaves, by default a cheap labor form - driving other farmers out of business and towards the cities to look for work. This process generally reduced available manpower for the armies and reinforced a class of rather angry urban poor.

Really clean and well made documentaries. Keep it up!

Top5 from your videos, congratulations, King and Generals!! Arausio and Marius form a pivotal point in total roman timeline!!

What a coincidence, I was reading about this two days ago. Fantastic video and explanation, as always. Good job guys ! (This war makes teutoburg look like a small skirmish in comparison)

The Romans biggest power seems to have been persistence they seemingly keep keep fielding these huge armies despite large losses. Its amazing how they could replish their men so fast.

Amazing video once more. It's interesting to consider the historical irony that while the Germanic nations were the most enduring of Rome's enemies, the better part of the historical legacy of the Western Roman Empire, and the Roman Office of the Papacy, ended up passing into the hands of one of the tribes, the Franks, who gave rise to the Carolingians and the Ottonians and thence the Holy Roman Empire.

Chances were the Cimbri never originally intended to unleash a full war with the Romans, and thus had no reason to invade Italy. Also, a cohort has 600 men, 480 combatants and 120 non-combatants. Unless they were intentionally smaller at that time.

Can you do a video on the Pyrrhic war?

Great video, as always! But quite strange that the Cimbri warlord was called Boiorix, which was actually a celtic name. Can anybody please explain?

@KingsandGenerals

6 жыл бұрын

Thanks! It is not only strange, but also controversial. "Boiorix" basically means "the king of Boii". And that is why some historians consider Cimbri Celtic. We really don't know. :-)

@Kings and Generals Team, your works should be part of all school curriculum. This is the beginning of a new era on how to teach history without boring teachers and lengthy memorization.

What if the Cimbrians had attacked Italy with the Teuton armies at full strength they would have been more successful compared to Hannibal's march in Italy, The Romans may have won the war anyway but with the same losses and holocaust after the Second Punic war, And victory was only possible until Marius came to Italy from Numidia, I think the Cimbrians would have reached the outskirts of Rome.

It seems that the Romans won not only for the better organization due to the Marian reform but also for the fact that after an army was destroyed they were able to field quickly another. Their adversaries instead seem to have lacked this capability.

Oh, you have no idea how badly I needed that history lesson today!
