​@@Holybatman3603 That's certainly true but I'd argue that has more to do with range and tactics than the weapons themselves. Running away from a musket fight is much easier than running away from a melee. Also in the ancient world there was almost zero value in accepting an enemy armies surrender so if an army was routed or enveloped it became a slaughter. Contrary to later European warfare between countries or kingdoms where taking prisoners had numerous advantages financially and politically.

What is even more impressive about this, and this video does a great work showing it, is that the Roman plan for the battle was actually pretty smart, and they were not as stupid as most sources picture them. They wisely chose a flat, yet narrow terrain that would make the most out of their infantry and the least out of Hannibal´s cavalry, and they compacted their infantry, which was their biggest stength, to crush the center of the enemy, which made the most sense since that had worked in the past. But Hannibal somehow predicted all of this, and turned all their plan against them in front of their very eyes.

@dynamo1796

The two lynchpins of the Carthaginian victory - the fact the retreating Gauls held their nerve and didn't rout while the Romans lost their cohesion. If the Gaul retreat hadn't been so masterfully controlled or the Romans had held a few legions in reserve, the outcome would have easily swung to the Romans. But the Roman commanders threw everything into the centre when they really didn't need to and as such when the chase was over, the entire centre army was widely dispersed, exhausted and out of formation. A similar event occurred during Waterloo with the charge of the British Scots Greys against the French 45th Regiment. They charged down over 1000 French infantry with fewer than 500 heavy cavalry in 3 squadrons. Their victory over the 45th was so complete that an observing French officer described it as "we found ourselves defenceless against a relentless enemy" who slaughtered the entire regiment. After that though, the Scots Greys, in the heat of battle, then charged down other random units in front of the French main line. With blown horses and no cohesion, the French counter attacked and killed nearly HALF the entire Scot's Greys. By the time the Greys made it back to the British line, they had lost about 47% of their strength. The lesson is - when victory seems to be assured, don't be cocky and don't throw the advantage away.

​@@Jean_Jacques148also late but I agree. We saw a siege he did right at the start, and it took him 8 months. Rome doesn't do treaties. An attempt to besiege it, would have has legions moved to fight him, and as shown by the Fabian strategy, Hannibal had to keep moving to feed him army. On a Strategic level, getting them to withdraw forces would be good. But he'd likely be pinned against the city, and caught out by forces moving against him. So he'd take a few legions off the front line, then likely get crushed against the walls of rone as Legions come up behind him while he's stuck besieging Plus, right after that brutal battle, his guys were in no state after Cannae, and after the ambush at the lake, his guys were getting Scurvy from the Marsh travel. He never had a proper opportunity. Against someone else, the threat of the siege would get them to offer peace talks. But the Romans would flip him off and arm every man in the city (and If you say 10% of the population are possible fighters, that'd be 45-50,000 militia they could pull out of their ass if he attacked Rome)

Hannibal's army's main weakness are logistics and composition. He doesn't have the supplies to feed his whole army for a long siege. Half of his army are composed of Celts who he must constantly bribe to fight for him. With these two big problems a siege of Rome is simply not viable. Hannibal did everything he could with what he had, unfortunately for him it wasn't enough. Carthage was simply not powerful enough to beat Rome.

Perhaps they could have pulled a Pharsalus and positioned triarii behind the cavalry, to delay Punic horsemen further and prevent complete encirclement, but I can't blame them for wanting to keep things as simple as possible.

You are the best source on the Punic wars on KZread. By far.

So so so so so good!!! I binged every Hannibal video and I loved them all! What a man, what a leader!

The fact this guy was in the thick of the battle with his men still conducting the battle is the most astonishing to me. He wasn't watching from a hill but was about that life. Amazing!

It's very unfortunate we don't have the records of what his men thought of him. I mean imagine being in the ranks of his army, witnessing all of this, being out numbered in enemy territory facing the greatest military force in the mideteranean. And yet winning against all odds.

Hannibal wasn't scared of anything ,. His father made him swear to be an enemy of rome on blood for the rest of his life , he marched a whole army to Italy through the alpes which he lost nearly half of , He stayed in their Land for 8 years never lost a Battle to them with a single army and without any reinforcements or supplies from his country living of the land , he won major victories against them , Even once they encircled him in a valley he marched through the darkness of night while making them chase Fire attached to horns of cattle , He ambushed a whole roman army at trasimane , He won an unbelievable Victory in cannea outnumbered till the last moments of the battle , Fighting in the front with his men with one eye , He is the General that is more intimidating and Greater then even some kings Napoleon really considered him one of the best tacticians and he truly was , he made the rommans live in fear for 15 years , he didn't need the Great of The Conqueror added to his name , His name was enough to make anyone have chills Hannibal Barca , yet he is Supper underrated

Very true

Hannibal's Genius really does put the laughter into slaughter. You just can't help but laugh at his genius and how the Romans fell for it so completely.

I like how you had added other variables such as the dust from battle which adds on more insight on how the Romans hadn't seen that they had been surrounded and how clever Hannibal really was.

Well-ordered, precisely detailed, with trenchant narrative to hold interest, saving the decisive surprise for last. THIS is how to describe a battle! Cheers and thanks well deserved.

Thank you for making this as I never get tried to watching it over and over :) . As many comments here mentioned it is mind boggling how there are no movies or TV shows about such a great historic figure instead of the garbage we keep seeing , one can only hope that one day there will be a presentation as good as this video about Hannibal.

I love this series sooooo much.Thank you.

Outstanding. Quality documentary, well worth the wait. I left the series long enough for this to be completed. Well worth the wait.

This is fascinating. Learned a lot about this period and about Hannibal and his mindset, his tactics. Being cunning, committed and brave, showing no hesitation, and patience, are qualities of most importance for a general to achieve victory

My day was just made!! Thanks guys!! You and some other great history Battle channels are making our quarantine days a bit more bearable.

Great to be able to see detailed breakdowns of the battles Hannibal fought.

I've read, and seen much on Hannibal over the years, but this series has been able to go into much detail that many other sources have not, and yet kept it interesting through to the end. Very well researched and presented. I'm broke and no-one owes me any money, so I really hope people with the finances to support your work, will see the value that this series has to offer.

After watching, I suspect that Hannibal was smarter and stronger than Alexander of Macedon, but strangely enough, no one is talking about this clever leader.

@Helmholtz Alexander was daddies boy he inherited everything that made him win from his father and maybe he was the one who killed his father. If Phillip didn't die maybe Alexander could have tried to conquer India or something and maybe he wouldn't die so young...

Hannibal is definitely one of the better known generals of antiquity, the only other general I can even name from the same era is Scipio since he defeated Hannibal

I’ve probably watched the entire Hannibal battle about 3 or 4 times now and this is so much better than any movie or game. Thank you so much for all your time and effort you use to make these detailed documentaries.

This channel is absolutley brilliant in providing visualisation of a battle. Strategy and tactics are spot on. Its even better in visualsing a campaign. One really appreciates hannibles genuis of total evelopment at canne with these graphics. It has been referred to as hannibles master piece and a work of art. I might add this channel did excellent work on napolean as well

Beautifully displayed and explained ... Thanks historymarche

Great video guys. So many factors against him but still he managed to show a masterclass of tactics. Hannibal was 100% a badass.

One of the best battle animations and narrations i have ever seen, congratulations.

Please🤞make it quick I can't wait for the upcoming parts. You guys are legends, I can't really put the enormous appreciation I have into words. Wow!

May the algorithm bless you.

This is absolutely amazing how good your video are, composition of music, graphics, narration is a masterclass, i love you HistoryMarche

This series is so AWESOME. Thank you for your hardwork. These are fun to watch

Great video. Can't wait for the last video's of Hanibals adventures.

This channel is the reason y i love history so much and learning everything that is to know of it around the world and not wat i only learned in school

Fifty years ago i dropped out of high school. Three years ago i got turned on to Ancient History and I've never looked back. I am reading The War With Hannibal by Livy. I am on page 150. It is fascinating and tedious. I can't believe Hannibal didn't win. This was very, very good. Thank you

Hannibal was a true master tactician genius, after strategically defeating every legion Rome send against him, until he finally met his match, No excellent general is invincible or nothing last forever.

This is the greatest historical documentary / series i have ever seen. Thank you!

Hannibal was a genius! That open ambush in part 13 was exceptional! Thank you for this series

Best episodes in the series! Also would be nice if you will continue with the struggle of Hannibal to help Capua and try to lift the Rome siege of Capua and 1st and 2nd battle of Nola, which lead the Hannibal defeat in the second one.
