Prelude to the First Punic War
After the conquest of Magna Graecia the Romans came into contact with the greatest power in the Mediterranean, Carthage. Tense political situation in Sicily is made even worse with the death of Agathocles of Syracuse. Rogue mercenaries from Campania serve as a spark that would ignite a conflict for the supremacy of Mediterranean, lasting over a century.

I could listen to you for hours. It's incredible how well synced your voice and the piano are. Captivating and relaxing at the same time.
Excellent video as always. This channel deserves a million subscribers, the artwork and style of presentation are so digestible and entertaining, easily one of my favourite historical channels.

I found this series through the KZread algorithm when episode 16 dropped, and I was immediately hooked. Already watched through the entire series and this channel is now up there as one of my favorite history channels
The production quality is absolutely insane! One of the best channels I’ve seen on KZread. Hope you get lots of subs!

Great videos! Small thing that maybe you mentioned or someone else commented. The double harbor of Carthage wasn’t constructed until after the 2nd Punic War was over.
Let's go another GOAT historical video
So it begins. The wars that founded the empire. Great video.

How about the other painting? (Guérin: Aeneas Tells Dido the Misfortunes of the Trojan City). Even more time travel...
The punic wars is just like the world wars, everyone thinks the causes for the first one were dumb and the leaders leading it were dumber. But it made the titans that would fight and lead in the second.
Nice video

In this series are you going to stop with the fall of the wester Rome empire or still continue with the eastern rome empire (byzantine empire).

Yes, we made a mistake there. It was actually founded by Hannibal's brother-in-law Hasdrubal in 228 BCE. Although, there are some records pointing to an even older Iberian settlement, Mastia, on that location.

just btw , i was sick of arguments on internet so i asked chat GPT what group of languages is Phoenician . turns out its related to jewish and arabic (although if anyone wants to argue about it some more) i have no idea how Afroasiatic tree branch looks like and from what i gathered it includes jewish , arabic and whole bunch of now dead languages .

Yes, Phoenician is one of the Semitic languages. Hebrew, Arabic, Aramaic as well as some other languages from the region are also a part of that group.
A small thing, but dont quote me if im wrong. In latin C is pronounced like a K. Like in syracuse. Came in my mind when you said Pisentes instead of Pikentes. But im not sure so might be wrong

It depends on classical vs ecclesiastical latin pronounciation. It's sometimes difficult to figure out the correct pronunciations for these lesser known tribes and figures from history. We do our best to research every new name we come across, but we do make some mistakes.

It was, but there's also an anglicized pronunciation for Roman words when speaking English (as in Cicero or Caesar)
and another one...
