weeeellllll you could claim, that the bellum sociale kinda ended the republic with their effects. this war destroyed the economy of their allied cities. After all the riot of the slaves were often not slaves, but these farmers and citizen of these cities in Italy, who still hated Rome, because they lost their possession in this bloody conflict. The endeffect was a massive boom of population in Rome in these times of the old republic. In these times a lot of these poor people were easily influenced by speakers like Cicero, but easily rallied by people like Catalina and Clodius. This instability explained the destruction of the republic by a "popular" leader like Pompeius, Caesar, Antonius and later Octavian. the Italian migrant mob, awarded with citizenship and poverty after a war, who flocked into the Roman republic based on a city structure, made the Roman republic fall. creating the Roman civilwar should be rewarded with some points. (same for Gaul) These effects were earned with suffering by these "barbarous" enemies under the Barbary of Rome.

I'm surprised the Roman Republic didn't get the number 1 spot.

You could argue that the iberians managed to inflict more damage than most on the list. The endless wars with no spoils ruined the roman citzen soldiers. A soldier goes of to war, and his farm sufferes in his abscence, the if he even return, he brings nothing but scars and stories. In the end his family is forced to sell the farm, and try their luck in Rome. Slowly but surely this undermines the entire basis for the republican armies.

As Julio Caesar he conquered Gauls , pacified the Celtic/Germans tribe at the border more than once probably three or four times during his career and as well conquered Egypt and pacified eastern empire again + defeated the other seasoned warriors of the internal enemies of the empire … Now the main point I want to make is they have the qualifications full grades but dacians , some German tribes and Parthian were extreme difficult to deal with and why ? Both of those enemies did and had the same problem : -1 tendency to never fully commit on big campaign battle but to ambush All of them were at the border of the empire , supply line longer and more hard to maintain (Parthian especially). Plus their method of war (as well as the equipment used greatly differ from the more common used in most of Europe ..) But don’t forget that Caesar lost many battles and Pompey were utterly defeated by Caesar only for miscommunication between their ranks of the army and he didn’t event try to go look by himself to see if it was true … The real champ of Roman history for my are mainly : - scipione to defeat Hannibal and literally humiliated other enemies in Spain , Greek and turkey -Agrippa , for him august gain the power of the senate and he defeated all the tribes in Germany ip all the way to the nord pushing the border -Germanicus another extremely strong generals from the empire as well as Trajan

The concept of the Gauls being a true threat though is a little murky, as most of what we know about the conflict is from the Roman side, Caesar particularly. And he had a vested interest in making them seem like the WORST thing possible for political reasons (he's the guy who beat the worst thing possible). The potential might have been there if the Gauls united, but I'm not sure they were really a huge threat to Rome at that point. Caesar got involved in Gaul due to all the infighting going on at the time. He actually helped unite most of Gaul, against him, lol.

War with carthage was so fun they did it 3 times.

As a Portuguese, we study a lot the story of Viriathus. We also study that the Iberians were in the southeast of the peninsula, the celts on the northwest (including the Lusitanians, which the portuguese see their ancestors) and that the middle was a mix of the both groups called Celtiberians.

@jboss1073

​@@mbern4530 There is no debate. The Lusitani called themselves Celts in their own tombstones, votive altars and personal pottery items like pots and combs. You can't fast-forward 2,000 years and take away the name of a people just because of some linguistic excuse given by modern academics. 2,000 years ago the Lusitanians called themselves Celts in their personal names. Herodotus even referred to these Celts when he said the Celts lived "beyond the Pillars of Hercules" - meaning westward of the Strait of Gibraltar. It is not morally correct to come up with modern-theories through which we could therefore remove the Lusitanians from being Celts when they used the literal name "Celts" for their literal personal last names (Celti, Celtiati, Celtici, Celtigun, etc). "Lusitanian" is an exonym. They did not call themselves "Ambatus Lusitani" in their personal names, but instead "Ambatus Celti". Once again, the endonym of the Lusitani was Celti. So there cannot be a debate of whether they were "Celts" when that was many variants of their personal names. As to whether they spoke Celtic, Wodtko said "it is hard to find anything in Lusitanian which isn't Celtic". Also remember just because they wrote P doesn't mean they pronounced P - most of the P-words found are also found in B-variants, showing it was probably not pronounced P. Celtic languages do not have initial P-sound. The rule is not "Celtic languages do not have initial P-letter". It's about the sound. And the words found with initial-P in Lusitanian are mostly also found with a variant using an initial-B. So the claim that initial-P in Lusitanian necessarily sounded like /p/ is actually very weak and contradicted by the evidence. There is no secure evidence that Lusitanian actually had an initial /p/ sound.

@@TominusMaximus More or less. Even Ephorus who simplified so much to say "in the West live the Celts (and no one else)" in his purposefully-simplified model of the most populous peoples of the four corners of the world, still differentiated between the Celts and the Iberians in Iberia - and many other authors were also careful enough to identify several different ethnicities in Iberia, usually with the Celts separated from the Iberians: "It is sometimes suggested (Chapman 1992) that the ancients used the term "Celt" as a vague term for western barbarians, rather as the Byzantines, remembering their ancient history, referred to the western Crusaders as Keltoi, or as the British referred to the Germans as "the Hun" during World War I (Sims-Williams 2012a, 33). There is very little evidence for such a vague usage of "Celt". The locus classicus is Ephorus in the fourth century BC. In an astronomical context, Ephorus assigned the four points of the compass schematically to Indians, Ethiopians, Celts and Scythians. Since no Greek can have been unaware that Persians, Egyptians and others also inhabited the east and south, it follows that it cannot be assumed that Ephorus was only aware of Celts in the west. In fact, in another context, Ephorus did distinguish between Celts and Iberians. A century earlier, Herodotus had already contrasted the Cynetes (in Portugal) with the Celts, while Herodorus of Heraclea distinguished between the Kelkianoi (Keltianoi?) and five other Hispanic peoples, including the Cynetes. Other early Greek writers, including Timagetus, Timaeus and Apollonius of Rhodes, continued to refer to the Celts as a distinct people (see further Sims-Williams 2016; 2017a). Among the Romans, Varro (116-27 BC), for instance, named four peoples besides the Celtae who settled in Hispania (Pliny, Natural History 3.1.8). So "Celt" was not normally a vague term like our "oriental". The source for this is the paper Sims-Williams, Patrick. An Alternative to 'Celtic from the East' and 'Celtic from the West', 2020.

​@@javibertolo1968 You are absolutely right. Not only that, but the original Romans from 753 BC were genetically Iberian and it was only after the Republic fell that they started becoming genetically more Tuscan and separated into north, central and southern Italian like today.

The Gaul tribe that the Romans ran away from and then paid off as Rome burned down around 385 BC seemingly were only asked to distract the Romans by Syracuse. The people from the north seemed like big stronk badasses.

God, what I like the most about your videos is the amount of work, detail and information you include. Even the meander pattern around the chart is a nice touch that many others wouldn’t include. I would also love to see more videos like your old one about vl*dimir l*nin.

A good video, but you missed some Samnite victories, such as the capture of Fregellae in 321 (actually 319), the capture of Plistica in 315 (actually 313), the recapture of Fregellae in 313 (actually 311), the defeat of Bubulcus Brutus near Talium in 311 (actually 309), the likely defeat of Marcius Rutilus in 310 (actually 308), the butchering of Rome's sailors near Nuceria Altaferna in 310 (actually 308), the defeats (plural) of Appius Claudius in 296 (before the arrival of Volumnius), the defeat of Regulus in 294, and the defeat of Fabius Gurges in 292 (before the arrival of Fabius Rullianus).

Nothing better than a video from tominus Maximus to roll a fat joint to ‼️

It actually took Julius Caesar 8 years (not 2) to submit the gallic tribes. And you didn't even mention Ambiorix, who put up a good fight as well. I would put them way higher on the list.

​@@TJ-ml8tt Unlikely. Romans weren't so many and they mixed up with locals.

Great video bro! I was wondering about the Parthia Empire? Even though the real threat came after the defeat of Marcus Crassus ''Battle of Carrhae'' then the Rome Republic became Roman Empire :D

If it's not too much trouble after the Empire video could you do one on the Eastern Roman Empire?

nice video, i think you could’ve inserted the parthians though - they kill crassus during the roman republic before caesars civil war (Carrhae, one of the roman republics greatest military defeats), so they kill one of the first triumvirate and take a roman standard - they deal a heavy blow to the roman republic and the standards aren’t returned until the reign of augustus.

real (1204 never forget)

Parthia sisters it's over we weren't even on the list

Macedonians epirotes pontus Seleucid Ptolemies Crete Cyprus all were also Greeks

Sure

But didn't the Gauls in cisalpine Gaul come from transalpine Gaul rather recently (6th century BC) before Rome started to rise and eventually invaded ? It's difficult to separate them, as they weren't there for that long and came from other Gaulish tribes. Unless I'm wrong about something, which is possible.

they actually stayed in Northern Italy for quite a while but yea they directly comes from Transalpine gaul and so were the Galatians actually, but tis easy to separate them because they were divided as tribes, Transalpine gaul was partly unified thanks to Vercingetorix and Cisalpine gaul never really had Transalpine gaul for support when they wreck Rome

@xenotypos

@@erwannthietart3602 One thing I realized which strengthens what I said, is that the Gaulist tribe that sacked Rome, led by Brennus, actually immigrated in Cisalpine Gaul just a few years before that attack. It was the same generation that traveled from translapine gaul and that sacked Rome. So it's clearly difficult to separate them from their birthplace.

4:23 Pergamon fought a few battles ex: Thayreia and a expedition to Caria and triggered a slave revolt all across greater phygria

"oh Anibal. You know how to win a battle, but you don't know how to use the victory"

Does the Sertorian rebellion can count as an Iberian resistance? Some KZreadrs considers him a second Viriathus, both leaders died assassinated

Mate, please make at least one video about the conflict between Iran and Rome. I'm sure the content will be interesting! Try to prepare it impartially.

Nice! I was expecting Seleucids and below to be the poopy ones.

Imagine a world of Rome had fallen and Carthage was the Victor. How different would the world be today? 🤔Great video, very imformative 👍👍👍

You should have included more points for numidians since they rebelled a lot after their annexation
