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.

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.

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

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.

Also the samnites had tge manipular legions before rome, which is one of the reasons the second samnite war lasted so long, as the roman phalanxes could not operate well in the hilly terrain of Samnium. Another thing is that technically there is a better flag for samnium from a picture at a tomb at Nola but thats not very important

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).

@@diegoidepersia what gets glossed over in this video is that when the Romans defeat the Greeks in the south and have control of the whole peninsula, that would signify the beginning of the Roman Empire of the next six and half centuries. It would also mark the decline of the Greeks. In the Romans battle with the Greeks they had a little unit in reserve. The Greeks used their phalanx at the start. It looked like the Greeks would be victorious. The Romans had their reserves go around the Greeks and attack from the rear. The Greeks are not able to turn around with the phalanx and we’re destroyed. That would basically be the end for the Greeks and Rome would then win the Punic wars and be on their way glory and victory.
