This video honestly stressed me out like this was my own budged! How the fuck am I gonna afford a new tunic?!

Best historical video ever 🥰

Mfw a plebian can afford a home and a family but were struggling to pay for a place we don't even own

How many times did they eat the things you listed

The richest man has a feast to show status he servers many meats including door mice????

16:37 In the city states warfare never an army running down an enemy army. It was a very shamefully act. Great Video b.t.w.!

A bit too soon ..... I lost relatives at Ft Flevum

Which game is this ?

Game ?

This is very informative There’s nothing more boring than watching every ancient battle on UA-cam turn into just another Hollywood brawl.

11:40 that is a very interesting way to hold a spear whilst holding a shield. Huh

Do Rome next, again!

This was really interesting ❣️

No this is garbage, they fought as a unit, or died alone. Your supposition that they would allow gaps, is silly, gaps are where break throughs would occur, which allows for flanking maneuvers, and a route. A phalanx is notoriously vulnerable from the flank, which is why tactics had to change once Cavalry came into being. This is why disciplined armies won the day, they maintained their line, and opened up the enemy to a flanking maneuver Silly video, please understand that war is more than a book, and you can’t become proficient or understand it without experience.

Great video, i also never believed that Hoplites did push eachother, since one side can easily quickly retreat and the other will fall to the ground

How are these animations made? How can I make a video like this?

love love love your videos my man. been watching for a long time now usually over a morning coffee. tonight over a JD & Coke . keep it up you're doing an amazing job

These historians that have never been in even a modern battle creating an entire system based off the literal interpretation of a word that only appears 3 times is on par for historians in the modern age.

The romans knew that a battle line 8 deep is needed to balance any huge advantage the enemy had in numbers …8 deep and then pick the terrain to allow this to happen…..like the Athenians at Marathon…or Henry 5th at Agincourt…

Always Outstanding!

Considering how Roman’s couldn’t watch this UA-cam channel for virtually free, we have a far better quality of life.

How did they fight the Persians at the hot gates, anyway they could.

I do wonder how completely this all really worked out in reality. People have different personalities, and I'm sure very many felt like misfits their whole lives but managed to avoid complete failure. I'm sure the Spartans were more authentically Spartan than the Soviet citizens were authentically communist, but I'm also sure that Xenophon doesn't tell the complete story of how it really manifested.

Quickly, Alfred, the tomes of lore must be filled with knowledge!

THANK YOU FOR YOU FOR USING ILLUSTRATED ART WORK FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND NOT AI. I cannot stand all the historical content out with weird and whacky ai as illustration. Big thumbs up.

Be more contrarian

Ok so holding the rope on the shield. There's always going to be the guys who want to show off , or be the fastest, etc. They probably had them hold the ropes on the shield to keep someone who's got their adrenaline rushing from charging out of the formation . trying to be heroic but most likely getting killed. Once they got into range they could spread out a little bit but you wouldn't have to worry about someone running off.

2 comments: Hoplites fought in deep formations, 6+ ranks deep. It was a signature of their fighting style. Deeper formations are more durable, with less frontage. 2nd comment: Hoplite overhand spear is the opposite. In duels overhand can give you an advantage, but in formation underhand is better. Many Greek spears used sauroter, which is a heavy weight on the back end of a spear, 3 times as heavy as the spearhead. So you can hold it in front with very little sticking behind you because the point of balance makes it easy to hold it further out. Don't think of underhand as 1v1. Usually the formations would jab and it would be the person at an angle who would spear you. The most common armour was on the chest and side of the chest, as well as greaves. Which is where you can aim if you use it underarm. Underarm is also a barrier and defensive tool, as spears can interfere with the enemy getting too close and also physically bat at enemy spears, which is handy if you see someone trying to spear your friend to either side of you and you can use your spear to bat those spears away. Overarm is good for throwing, but it's not a natural way to fight with a spear for a long time. Try holding anything above your head for a long time, you won't be able to do it for very long, especially a heavy spear. Overarm it it gets knocked makes it easy to lose control of your spear and for it to pivot, which can knock someone else on the head easily. The wrist at that angle has no real resistance.

I can’t wait for a video about conbat during the macedonian age😍

The Roman videos were crazy good - glad you took on this. There is something more intimate about studying actual behaviours of soldiers with the tactics-equipment-culture of the period

> abs armour on thumbnail > sponsored by war thunder > claims to provide factual information really?

Ancient greek is like ancient USA never existed.

Why then there are mentions of 8/16/32 lines per phalanx? What about "ΛΟΞΗ ΦΑΛΑΓΞ"? Why Spartans had very short swords? Why doratismos excludes othismos? Obviously othismos requires a Greek phalanx in both enemies. In Anabasis Xenophon mentions even "ΟΡΘΙΟΥΣ ΛΟΧΟΥΣ" (vertical formations) leaving space bettween them verticaly, in a mountenious terrain, but against lighter enemy infantry. My conclusion is othismos and doratismos and sword stabing in a very narrow space. Naturaly the army that could not stend othismos had to abadon the battle field.

God I love this shit.

+1

Imagine that army coming towards your country 😢

Incredible the complexity of such defenses, not only locally, but the regional strategy done, they were truly advanced and sophisticated. Great video as usual, excellence is the cognomen if this channel 👌🏼

Rome II footage always is the best at just, looking pretty for Classical-Antiquity themed videos

It's "what did it look like", not "how did it look like".

1) I am convinced you're overexaggerating the degree to which the various units would be moving in front of each other. The corners of any unit would be a natural weak point. I agree that over the entire length of the battle line the formations would not have been a perfectly straight line, but I'd be surprised if the units didn't attempt to keep their front rank at roughly the same line as the neighbouring units. 2) I feel like you're vastly overestimating people's ability for coordinated movement in masses. Anyone who's ever been at a concert knows how realistic it is for ranged units to move through the heavier formation and not clog it up. I can see them doing that at the start and under more special circumstances at the very end. I do not see them doing that while fighting is ongoing, only because temporary distance to the foe was gained. 3) The time span you chose is far too broad, and I think the conclusions you choose from one battle do not necessarily transfer to others. For example, Tyrtaeus was probably speaking in the context of the second Messenian war. Even in the first Messenian war, the Messenians were according to Pausanias fighting lighter and more disorganised than the Spartans, whereas the Spartans were keeping their ranks. In the second Messenian war, the Messenians were fighting as people who had until very recently been helots, and you'd not expect them to be as able to field and equip heavy infantry as the Spartans. I find it far more likely that the Spartans as a result needed skirmishers to protect their heavy infantry because of a prevalence of enemy slingers, and were able to have them at the front line because the Messenians likely did not have a heavy infantry to rival theirs. 4) I cannot see how the Greeks could win their victories against the Persians even with the revised numbers, if it wasn't for a tighter formation allowing them superiority in numbers on the local level during the hand to hand fighting.

Please do a video on how different types of cavalries were actually used in battles. We all know they had the advantage of mobility and were best flanking troops but how did the charge/skirmish actually take place on a minute-to-minute basis ? How was the communication done ? How did the troops managed to not enter a state of chaos & rampage ? What did the horses and the soldiers do after they made first contact with the enemy ? How long did the troops stay in contact (melee/ranged) with the enemy ? What would be the course of action of a cavalry commander/soldier from the start of a battle till the end of it ? [for any (specific) culture/civilization] ? There are so many questions that are not properly answered anywhere, would love to see many videos on this topic, specially for distinct cavalry types. Thank you for your efforts. Cheers!!!

Reall6 great. I'm gonna be subbing

Hadrian and his walls...

I love the title-thumbnail combo. Like yeah I’m sure some did, but I can goddamn guarantee the slaves didn’t

nice
