How did Rome Expand into Greece and Hispania? - History of the Roman Empire - Part 5
For Rome, its decades-long rivalry with the Carthaginian Empire was a significant distraction. The outbreak of the three Punic Wars marked an attention-grabbing period of Roman history that at times even overshadowed the contemporary events outside of the Carthaginian-Roman conflict. However, the Punic Wars were far from the only notable events in Rome’s past during the time they raged on, and they weren’t even the only wars that Rome faced throughout the era. So now, let’s take a look through what happened in Rome’s history without Carthage…

@The Last Caesar you overestimate the Romans at the time I believe, they were a small Latin city who had barely conquered all of Latium. Remember it was in the 290s BC that the Romans really came into their own with revolutionary changes in the military and a vision of great comquest. In the 270s BC the Romans fought mainland Greeks for the first time, a much smaller army (than Alexander's) led by Pyrrhus and he made it to the walls of Rome. Give it another hundred years (230s BC) and yeah it would've been a very tough battle for Alexander. Give it two hundred years and the Romans would've won.
2:12 I swear, that looked so much like Gigachad.
This is true, you look into the Punic wars and the romans control most of Italy, then by the end you realise that not only do they control Africa and Iberia but they also happened to have acquired Greece, parts of Illyria and cisalpine Gaul. The Punic wars were impressive enough, despite doing all the rest during their breaks

As a Hispanic, I learned a lot about the Roman Empire. It's incredible to note that we still have roots attached to this formal power. There's provinces like Hispania Baetica, Hispania Lusitania, Hispania Tarraconensis, Gallia Narbonensis, Gallia Aquitania, Gallia Lugdunensis, Gallia Belgica, Raetia, Noricum, Germania Superior, Germania Inferior, and Britannia.

The video makes it seem Rome was reluctant to intervene in Greece but Rome was definitely interested in expanding into Greece and Anatolia and defending their allies was just an excuse to invade. The Macedonian King Perseus tried to avoid war with Rome by playing nice with the Greek states and Rome decided to force a war by demanding Macedon to give up Thessaly that had been a part of Macedon for centuries, knowing Macedon would never willingly do so. When their former ally the Aetolian league got sick of Roman presence in Greece they were crushed and annexed by Rome. Rome would use the same excuse of helping local allies to conquer the rest of its territories in 'self-defense'.
@MintyLime703

You're omitting why they viewed it as self defense. In this case they genuinely thought this was necessary after getting ravaged by Hannibal. Rome now understood that they weren't invincible and all it took was one man and an army to ravage their lands. Undoubtedly they would've found an excuse to take Greece regardless, but fear was the order of the day here. They were friendly with Carthage and that made them a potential threat in Roman eyes. Some WERE reluctant to start another war so soon. We're talking about a republic. It's not like everyone agreed with each other.
Give Rome credit, they took on the entire Meditareanean and won despite being outnumbered numerically and logistically.

Yes, when people belive their country could be destroyed they fight hard. When they believe their empire is without end its hard to find recruits.
1:56 It is not surprising that the Romans were highly prepared when it came to defending their city from the second attack by the Gauls. The first invasion by the Celts was so humiliating that, after managing to expel them from the city, the Romans even considered abandoning it and moving to Veii (which had been conquered by Camillus before the appearance of Brenus and the gauls). However, in the end it was decided to destroy Veii's structures and buildings in order to rebuild Rome as a way of starting from scratch.

The whole of Greece was under foreign rule for many centuries,starting with the Roman conquest in the second century BC. What distinguishes the Ionian Islands from the rest of Greece is that, with some exceptions, they did not form part of the Ottoman Empire, while the rest of the Greek world was under Ottoman rule for anything between two hundred and five hundred years. The fact that these islands were ruled by Catholics rather than Muslims has made them strikingly different from the rest of Greece, in language, music, costume, cuisine and architecture.

" In its final centuries , the Byzantine Empire was also called " Romania . " Remnants of this Roman heritage are still evident in such terms as " Rum " and " Rumeli . Georgius, Philippides, M. and Macarius, 1980. The fall of the Byzantine empire. Amherst, MA: Univ. of Massachusetts Pr., p.2. Given Gennadios ' strong religious and traditional orientation , one would expect him to adhere carefully to the traditional Byzantine nomenclature wherein Hellene signified pagan and Rhomaios Byzantine . Ćurčić, S. and Mouriki, D., 2019. The Twilight of Byzantium. Princeton: Princeton University Press, p.9. And there is also evidence that the word 'Hellene' now meant 'pagan', and Justinian did conduct persecutions of Hellenes. Scott, R., n.d. Byzantine chronicles and the sixth century.

In the European cartography of the fifteenth to eighteenth centuries, "Grecia" included Dalmatia, Serbia, Bulgaria, the coastal area of Asia Minor, Albania, and the Aegean islands (Karathanasis 1991, 9). For the Western audience in Germany, Austria, and Hungary, "Greek" (Greek Orthodox) was synonymous with Orthodoxy (Stoianovich 1960, 290). Regardless of their ethnic origins, most Greek Orthodox Balkan merchants of the eighteenth century spoke Greek and often assumed Greek names; they were referred to as "Greeks" in the sense that they were of the "Greek" religion. During the eighteenth century, the ge- ographic dispersion and the urban nature of the Greek ethnie in the Balkan peninsula transformed the "Greeks" into a Balkan urban class (Svoronos 1981, 58). Hence, the "Greeks" were not only the ethnic Greeks but generally included all the Orthodox merchants and peddlers, many of whom were Grecophone or Hellenized Vlachs, Serbs, or Orthodox Albanians. Roudometof, V. (2001) Nationalism, globalization, and orthodoxy: The social origins of ethnic conflict in the Balkans. Westport, CT: Greenwood Press. p.54 Indeed “Greek” was an emic term in the Hellenistic period, referring generally to both the original Greeks and the Hellenized population. Greek resurrection beliefs and the success of Christianity (with preview) New York: Palgrave Macmillan , 2009 Dag Øistein Endsjø The Hellenized peoples of the eastern Roman (later Byzantine) Empire consistently referred to themselves as 'Roman' (Romaioi) because, even though they were culturally Greek, they considered themselves a part of the Roman Empire. Barnett, G. (2017) Emulating alexander: How alexander the great's legacy fuelled Rome's wars with Persia. Barnsley: Pen et Sword Military. "Like all citizens of the Byzantine Empire. the Greeks were called Romaei Romaioi (i.e. Romans, a hang-over from the days of the Eastern Roman Empire of the 4th to 7th centuries. which gradually became Hellenized and was called the Byzantine Empire, from Byzantium , the old name of the city that was later renamed Constantinople after the Emperor Constantine , who transferred the capital of the Roman Empire from Rome to Byzantium in 330 A.D. ) . Pappageotes, G.C. (1960) Modern Greek Reader Demotic = Anagnōstikon Dēmotikēs. New York. p.7 I use the term Hellenic in order to differentiate 19th and 20th century national identity in modern Greece from the earlier, not so clear, use of terms like Graikos, Romios and, sometimes, Ellinas, which were all more or less synonymous for the Greek-Orthodox Christians of the Ottoman heartland. Hereafter, I use the term Greek to allude to the ambiguour use of this word (esc) bir contemporani scholar who refer without proper discrimination , to the representatives of the larger Greek - Orthodox Ottoman community , mostly hellenized or Greek - speaking , who probably considered themselves not as Hellenes but simply as " Romaioi " and Christians .

Getting everyone pissed off at you generates plenty of casus belli which, as a republic, is necessary to justify war to their people. Greece conveniently allied with Carthage and that sort of played right into Roman hands. I guess the only thing that may have been different or surprising to Rome is that their invasion of Greece had some fear behind it. Not just the Roman people, but the state too.

@@flamurtusha1990 Traditionally scholars have seen the Dacians as ancestors of the mod- ern Rumanians and Vlachs and the Illyrians as the proto-Albanians. Perhaps (keeping in mind the frequent ethnic mixing as well as cultural and linguistic evolution) we should retain this view. However, from time to time these views have been challenged, very frequently for modern nationalistic reasons. For example, if the Illyrians were the ancestors of the Albanians, then the Albanians, as original inhabitants. have some historic right to that region and possibly rights to other regions which had been settled by Illyrians. And their Illyrian ancestry has been very important in Albanian nation-building myths. In the same vein, if the Dacians were proto-Rumanians then they were the original settlers and have historic rights to Rumania, particularly in the mixed region of Transylvania against claims of the late arriving (end of the ninth century) Hungarians. Not surprisingly, Hungarian scholars have been the leading critics of the claim that Dacians are Rumanians and argue that the Vlachs (or Rumanians) arrived in the eleventh and twelfth centuries when Vlachs first appear in the written sources. Recently the Albanian-Illyrian identification has come under more serious challenge from linguists. Before turning to the arguments, it must be pointed out that Dacian, Thracian, and Illyrian are not only dead languages but languages in which no texts have survived. Thus all that is known about these languages comes from personal and place names mentioned in classical texts or surviving place names (top- onyms). V. Georgiev argues that Illyrian place names are found in a far smaller area than I have given above for Illyrian settlement. Sec- ondly, he argues that, though the Albanians now live in what was Illyria, they themselves come from part of Moesia, from the Morava region of eastern Serbia. This was ethnically a Dacian region and thus he argues for a Dacian ancestry for the Albanians. These conclusions, he believes, are shown by the following: (1) Illyrian toponyms from an- tiquity do not follow Albanian phonetic laws. (2) Most ancient Latin loanwords in Albanian have the phonetic form of East Balkan Latin (i.e., proto-Rumanian) and not West Balkan (i.e., Old Dalmatian) Latin, suggesting the Albanians were descended from the Dacians. (3) The marine terminology in Albanian is borrowed from different lan- guages, suggesting that the Albanians were not originally a coastal people. (4) Few ancient Greek loanwords exist in Albanian; if the Albanians had originated in the Albanian-Epirus region there should be more. (5) There is no reference in any source to Albanians in the Albanian region until the ninth century. (6) Roughly one hundred Rumanian words are similar only to Albanian words, and when this fact is combined with the similar treatment of Latin in Albanian and Rumanian, Georgiev concludes that the Albanians came from what is now Rumania (or the region of Yugoslavia close to modern Rumania) and that their language developed during the fourth to sixth centuries when proto-Rumanian was formed. Rumanian he sees as a completely romanized Dacian-Moesian language whereas Albanian is a semiro- manized Dacian-Moesian language. These are serious (nonchauvinistic) arguments and they cannot simply be dismissed. Furthermore, during the fourth to sixth centuries the Rumanian region was heavily affected by large-scale invasions of Goths and Slavs, and the Morava valley (in Serbia) was a main inva- sion route and the site of the earliest known Slavic sites. Thus this would have been a region from which an indigenous population would naturally have fled. However, very little is known about the Dacian and Illyrian lan- guages and that little consists chiefly of certain place names and a few historical personal names. The Albanian language could well pre- serve large numbers of Illyrian features that simply are not known to linguists. The two languages, Dacian and Illyrian, may have been more similar than linguists think. And since the Morava region was near the border between Dacians and Illyrians, through direct contact possibly Illyrian was influenced by the Dacian language. The lack of early references to the Albanians is not significant. The centuries before the ninth are a period of few sources. And, if the Illyrians were proto- Albanians, the argument does not stand because sources mention II- lyrians there earlier. We should also note that Vlachs are not men- tioned anywhere in this period either. But, though they are not conclusive, the arguments for the Dacian origin of the Albanians have strong points and cannot be summarily dismissed. More evidence is needed which, owing to the nature of our sources, may never be obtained; thus the question may well be one of many in early Balkan history which we may never be able to answer. Moreover, the Albanians did not have a single ancestor in one or the other of these pre-Slavic peoples; the present-day Albanians, like all Balkan peoples, are an ethnic mixture and in addition to this main ancestor they contain an admixture of Slavic, Greek, Vlach, and Romano-Italian ancestry. In addition to these three Indo-European peoples, each living in its own zone of the pre-Slavic Balkans, other peoples had impact as well. Large numbers of Celts had passed through earlier, leaving their contribution to the gene pool as well as a wide variety of cultural (particularly artistic) influences. Large numbers of Roman veterans were settled in the Balkans (in particular, in what is now Yugoslavia). Different Germanic peoples (Ostrogoths. Visigoths, and Gepids) raided and settled (both on their own and as Roman federate troops) in the Balkans in large numbers over three centuries (third to sixth). And in the towns were merchants, officials, and soldiers, drawn from the whole empire, which included Italians, Germans, Greeks, Arme- nians, and other eastern peoples from Anatolia, Egypt, and Syria.

Illyria was mentioned hence why he is talking about Albanians. Considering Albanian is a Paleo-Balkan language and retains Doric Greek loanwords as well as extensive Vulgar Latin loanwords he is not wrong to mention Albanians considering they are possibly the only surviving group of people from Illyria that didnt get decimated or assimalted. Loan words only get transferred when two cultures interact with each other as a result of living near them.

@@Kevin_M312 The majority of expert historians, linguists, archaeologists and sociologists do not support the theory that the Albanians are ancestors of the Illyrians. There is no actual proof whatsoever to suggest that. It's pure speculation. There is not any actual evidence that modern Albanians are descendants of those ancient Illyrian tribes, which in fact existed all over the north-western Balkans, in places such as modern Bosnia, Montenegro and even Croatia and not only in what is now modern Albania. The Illyrians were last mentioned in the 7th century A.D. and the Albanians were first mentioned in the 11th century A.D. There is a huge gap of around 400 years. There is no proof whatsoever which could definitively show that the Albanians are the descendants of the ancient Illyrians, while no linguistic connection can be established according to all expert linguists. In Albanian all words concerning the sea are of Greek or Latin origin. According to most expert linguists the ancestors of modern Albanians came from somewhere far from the Mediterranean coastline, most probably modern Romania, So basically the Illyrian theory is just an unproven theory and nothing more.
The Greeks were fighting each other (per usual), the Romans just exploited it. A united Greek Front would have crushed them. Heck, one Pyrros ALONE decimated them on their own turf…imagine the combined Hellenic World. Not even, even 1/4 of the Hellenic World United would have Crushed them! 👍🏻

Illyria wasn't Greek. Greeks called their northern neighbors Illyrians. This is why they only had small colonies up the Adriatic coast not that much land inwards from Illyria. Albanian still retains Doric Greek loanwords which mean the speakers were in contant and interacted with the Greeks when Doric Greek was spoken. The only two regions that bordered Greece at the time was Illyria, and Thracia (not included Macedonian because they were most likely Greek). Considering the Thracians got assimilated by the Bulgars this would leave Illyrians as the only northern neighbor who survived.

"So while linguists may debate about the ties between Albanian and older languages of the Balkans, and while most Albanians may take the genealogical connection to Illyrian as incontrovertible, THE FACT remains that there is simply INSUFFICIENT EVIDENCE to connect Illyrian, Thracian, or Dacian with any language, including Albanian" Curtis, Matthew Cowan (30 November 2011). Slavic-Albanian Language Contact, Convergence, and Coexistence. p. 18. "The origins of the Albanian people ARE NOT DEFINITELY KNOWN, but data drawn from history and from archaeological and anthropological studies have led SOME researchers to consider the Albanians to be the direct descendants of the ancient Illyrians. The linguistic EVIDENCE in that regard is MOST UNCLEAR; the Albanian language is certainly a distinct branch of the Indo-European family, but, largely because of a dearth of information on the language of the ancient Illyrians, it is difficult to convincingly demonstrate a connection between the two languages. (Some scholars, moreover, dispute such theses, arguing that Illyrians were not autochthonous to Albania and that Albanian derives from a dialect of the now-extinct Thracian language, but again the data are sparse and thus the arguments are difficult to judge.)" britannica/place/Albania/Cultural-institutions
