The battle of Salamis was not fought by the Roman Republic and the Parthian Empire but by the Athenian and the Persian fleets. At this time Rome existed but it only controlled parts of Italy while it did not have a fleet. And while we are at it. Hannibal of Carthage was not a king. Carthage was led by an aristocracy

Emperor Nero? I think you're confused. There were no emperors during the republic period of rome.

A lot of mistakes in this video?!

The Battle of Thermopylae was between SEVEN THOUSAND allied Greeks that included Spartans, Thespians, and Thebens (although led by Sparta) and between 120,000-300,000 Persians. NOT 300 Spartans only. That number is myth-making that has been perpetrated throughout history and ignores all the non-Spartan Greeks who participated. Although the very last piece of the battle did involve mostly only Spartans on the allied Greek side. Also this was the bronze age and iron and steel were NOT the metal making the clashing sounds at this battle. The only major metal making sounds at this battle was bronze. Decent video but lots of inaccuracies like these two are littered throughout this video.

It was a Roman consul named Gaius Claudius Nero that was one of the consuls leading the Roman army at Metaurus. The other consul was also in the battle, Marcus Livius. So it was a Nero, but definitely not the emporer Nero. Being a Claudia he was an ancestor of the emporers Tiberius, Caligula, Claudius, and Nero. Augustus married Livia and founded the Julio-Claudian dynasty that ended when Nero committed suicide.

Attackers Qin defeated defender Zhao. The description on Qin army should have been Zhao situation. The official casualty on Zhao was 400k. Qin also suffered a lot casualties. People believed it was inflated. We don't have enough evidence to support either way. However, casualty was a lot for Zhao that Zhao could no longer recover. Qin suffered a lot that after failed to destroy Zhao, Qin could not bring such huge battle 20 years later.

Several of these battles can be classified as skirmishes compare with some of the wars in China. By 220 BC era there was already wars that involved over a million soldiers on all sides. Soldiers were killed just as efficiently, all without firearms or gun powder.

Another is 300 with Gerard Butler playing Leonidas. Although they had painted on abs. If you want to watch a hilarious movie it's called Meet the Spartans. I also loved the Starz series Spartacus. Those were real muscles. I adored Andy Whitfield who played Spartacus. He died due to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. He was replaced by Liam McIntyre. I grew to love him too. Alexander the Great was phenomenal.
