You need to give Hannibal his black color and call him African

@Mark Inglese it'll come man and when it does it shall be glorious

When are you doing Part 17? Your killing me!

When is part 17 & 18. Your killing me brother.

This has been brilliant cannot wait for the next one IL just have to binge watch some other videos of yours 👍

Hannibal and Scipio - truly in a league of their own. So few times in history did two true masters battle one another for such stakes - In how many ages hence would this our lofty scene unfold ? In states unborn and accents yet unknown?

@Fireheart Carthage isn't a joke , you're a joke for thinking being a religious cuck is "better" than a seafaring people. Tell me Roman boy? I cant recall are we speaking a germanic language or a latin one? That alone should tell you which one was better. The romans got their asses beat by a bunch of barbarians, you belong in the dirt, you dirty pig boy.

@semre gob yeah and they did so about 1k years before rome did, the roman empire had ever parcel of land carthage had and and that would even amount to 50% of their empire. Carthage is a joke, they a seafaring people, got their asses beat on the ocean, by italians, like come on man how whack do you have to be to have one skill, which is a good navy, and still have a bunch of "religious cowards" as you so nicely implied kick their asses across the med in 3 different wars. look losing once could be a coincedence, even twice could just be chalked up to bad luck, but they got their asses kicked by the same foe, 3 times. Carthage isnt and never was a match for the father of the modern world.

@Fireheart Rome was bullied and sacked so much they starting wearing religious garments so people would have mercy on them and leave them alone, quite sad actually. atleast Carthage went down sword in hand.

@semre gob tell me mr carthage man, was it green or red that ruled ancient world of europe? I cant recall. What is the city of carthago called now and what is rome called now? That alone should tell you which one was better.

@madhu rawat why? Colonization of under developed nations are why we have the modern world and have such connections all over the planet.

Historemarche is to be commended because he shows us the interesting minor battles of the second punic war.

Very true!!! Most other channels neglect this

@David Hughes p00000p0101000000qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqQqqqq1qqqqqqq1qqqqqq

They go DEEP. They should be renamed to Deep HistoryMarche.

@nonya0 the series only finishes when humans do. History marche is committed. Its gonna outlive national geographic and history channel. Im just waiting for battleweek. 🦈

Hanno is one of those guys in history you wish you could travel back in time and punch on the teeth

@Mumbler Inc. because it was another Noble House in Carthage who rules in Carthage's Senat wanted to rule all Carthage instead of Barca's House (Hannibal Family) so they didnt support Hannibal in his war only with few money, men and ships. and Hannibal attacked Rome because Rome was the first to attack Syracuse in the first punic war and destroyed the carthage fleet in the mediterranean see and took all Sicilia from Carthage. (it was Carthage's territory at that time). it was Hannibal's father dream to fight Rome again.

No thats more Hannibal Vae victus!

Yes we know with hindsight that Hannibal didn't lie or intend on doing a coup, but they didn't know that back then

I don't care much for Hanno but I do understand why some people back then would support his statements, dude made some (but not all) good points, if Hannibal is crushing the Romans left and right, why does he need more troops? The obvious answer is "because he has to finish the war" but in their minds, they may think "what if Hannibal wants more forces under his command so that he does a coup against the senate?" Caesar style Especially when the Barcid family already had a lot of influence and popularity

@Mumbler Inc. hannibal proved he was right though hanno was a prat and seeked his own political greatness by discrediting hannibal.

We always hear about the big battles during the Punic Wars so it's refreshing to learn more about the minor ones that never get covered. Thanks

Yeah legit before this video, I didn't even know that Carthage fought in Sardinia I thought they permanently lost it after the first war and didn't bother sending troops to it in the second war since Sicily and Spain were more important

Agreed. It offers valuable context into the events of the war

Wonderful. I have no other words for this excellent series. The best and most accurate historical series I have ever seen. A lot more instructive than many history books on the Punic wars. Regards from Sardinia ;)

hail Piemme! fellow sardinian!

Wow, thank you! Big shout to Sardinia. Wonderful place to visit!

Hannibals cunning: hiding troops on an open field Scipios cunning: faking a battle formation for several days, then pressing the weak points Torquetus cunning: *inhales* COWARD!

I find it so utterly fascinating that these reactions sums up games on the ladder in whatever strategy game you can think of. Player 2 has an ''idea'' of how the game should be played and gets demolished by the better player 1, confronted with Player 1 not playing along Player B's ''idea'' of the game, Player 2 gets mad and angry. You think reality and the weight of possible death would act like some sort of counterweight yet through history we are shown again and again that we are at all times only human. Oh how to be a soldier under Player 2 and die because the player couldn't be arsed that particular day and literally goes ''rush B''

Was not named Manlius for nothing

Hey, if it works!

@HistoryMarche Thank you! Great video as always. :)

Haha, that made me laugh!

It's fascinating that over 2000 years ago history is still preserved and can be told, to know and see these events in great detail is truly amazing.

Or they just made it up, still a great watch 😆

This is without a doubt the best series on the second punic war i have ever seen. I thought i was already a Hannibal expert but wow, have i learned so much more!!!

I would even say that this is the best historical series at all. 2nd Punic War described like it happened 2 weeks ago on Twitter not over 2 thousands years ago.

As a Sardinian and long standing follower of this channel I cannot but be super excited with this episode, where my island finally gets on the map and becomes protagonist. It is so cool to see it feature in one of HM videos! And I wanna also say that I have been to the Cornus' (Columbaris) archeological site. It was pretty awesome. Sardinia is the region with the most archeological sites in the world.

@HistoryMarche When will you finish the series?

@HistoryMarche cool, man!! Glad to hear that!!!!

Thank you for watching. I'm working on episode 17, that will take us to Iberia, but in episode 18 there is another battle in Sardinia :)

So Hanno contributed to Hannibals doom. Just imagine how far he could've gone, with everyone on board.

I never realized there were this many battles and that Romans kept loosing so many soldiers even though they won this one. No wonder they just hated Carthage and wanted to delete it from the map.

@Total War Timelapses True people always highlight romes loses but forget the times they completely thrashed their enemies. Yea they did and people forgot that carthage had an army made up of foreign men which kinda takes away a lot of their glory since a lot of their victories can be linked to Greeks or celts.

@Ninjaa 695 Yeah and honestly even without Scipio I feel like the Romans would've won It was so obvious that Carthage sucked at fighting Rome if the leader wasn't named Hannibal, everyone else during both wars just got stomped time after time by Rome

You forgot that the romans done this as well especially under scipio, the battle of utica and illipa where basically 2 cannaes in reverse in terms of deaths.

@Kharn The Betrayer "I swear , i destroyed that legions five Times already" -Hannibal probably

And no wonder Rome was such a power. They got thrashed at Cannae. Then Spawn another 80,000 men within a few months, what the hell

I've been following the series since its debut in 2018 and this is probably the first major battle won by the Romans. It may be still early, but one of my favorite battles of the 2nd Punic War is "The battle of Metaurus River", where the other brother of Hanibal, Hasdrubal Barca is defeated and killed in action by an army led by two roman Consuls. His head, then was thrown to Hanibal's camp to low is morale. This was a world war by ancient standards. i hope you are going to cover it. As always thank you for your work.

@Adzs I am sure they are very sorry for spoiling the ending of a battle that ended 2000 years ago. Also.. have you heard who shot JR?

It is interrsting to see how Hannibal buried, with all respect due, the fallen Roman officiers/consuls, while the romans just beheaded a carthagian general and throw his head without any respect to the rank of that person.

Oh my. Hannibal suffered so much yet he didnt achieve his dreams. Damn what a tragic hero.

Why spoil a battle that's yet to be shown? Could have easily just hinted at it, but nah had to go into full detail. Dick move.

Interestingly, in the grand scheme of things it was a minor victory but it would have long-lasting repercussions. Sometimes, just slowing down the enemy is just as meaningful as defeating them completely.

I loved the fact that one of the carthaginian senators fall asleep. I look at my country's parliament and see that nothing has changed in 2200 years.

lol, same

Yes! Yes! Yeeeeeeees! They back with my Haniball! I was waiting for this like crazy! I just love to listen You guys!!! Big love and maximum respect!

Hannibal Barca the Dan Marino of generals

@HistoryMarche never rush them, whatever pressure you get from fans, your work is complete excellence and i would be very sad to see that lost in future episodes, as hard as it is to wait for a new episode .... when it comes online it is just a jewel of a show, you guys deserve every praise you get

Viking spits truth! I second this notion!

@HistoryMarche i know i kniw but in the end waiting is worth it 100%! You put so much effort in this like hell and for than do the end of my days I will love You guys and respect You!

I'm with Viking! FANTASTIC! THANK u!

I like this series of Hannibal and looking forward to your continuation of Octavian.

So excited to see these new Hannibal videos! This may be my all-time favourite series on YouTube

@HistoryMarche im interested to see your depiction on the Siege of Syracuse when that comes up

@HistoryMarche honestly take as much time as you need man, the quality of these is amazing. quality is always better than quantity. even monthly would be a real treat

I'll probably release a new episode each month. It takes time to do make these :)

I swear, you guys get better and better when you do the Hannibal series!! Keep up the amazing work HistoryMarche!!!!!!

I have no words the describe the quality of detail on your work. By far the best documentary I ever watched in my life.

This is my favourite historical Series from History March The Story of Hannibal Is just amazing

I am very happy that we are going to see more on the over all Punic war. Also if someone ever asks me what I would do with a time machine I’m going to tell them, “To kill Hanno the second”

As much as i hated hanno, i got to admit, he was one cunning old fox. What should Mago have said to counter the accusations i.e. a perfect rebuttal back at hanno?

Fun fact. The same hanno cost Carthage the first punic war

The quality of the video is perfect. Thank you so much.❤️❤️❤️❤️

HistoryMarche, you have done it once again. This video was brilliant in that it dealt with the grand strategy, ( or lack thereof) of the second Punic war of both empires. Brilliant.

Ooh, going into depth on minor secondary fronts. I love it. Gimme more.

@HistoryMarche no one cares if they are side events or if it ties in at all. Just keep them coming. :) that's a compliment

The nice thing about a world war (which is what it was for the people of the time) is that every battlefield fits into the greater scheme of the conflict.

@Dan D Indeed. Just small tweaks to Carthaginian war policy could've had major implications.

@HistoryMarche imagine The Carthaginian Senate voting for a full support for Hannibal...but the history was written in other way...looks like was a wrong decision in the end! their mistake was BIG!

Thank you sir. Yes, some of these "side events" seem small, but within 2-3 episodes it will become much clearer how they tie in with Hannibal. All of these events will impact his campaign in Italy a lot!

This episode truly shows how complex the 2nd punic war was. Interesting to see more from a carthaginian perspective aswell.

Such a great episode. It flew so well alternating politics, great speeches and battles.

The videos look better every time a new one comes out, the narration is epic and the content is the most unbiased and complete I've come across... Truly a great result of the amazing work this channel does. Thanks HistoryMarche!

Brilliant video. High quality maps, explanations, battles, edition... All people who like history about Punic Wars must see these videos. Congratulations.

I am so happy you guys are covering not just Hannibal and Scipio's campaigns, but filling in the gaps between them!

thank you for this guys. the insights into the "why" of an attack talks more of the mindset, with knowledge, wisdom, grit, experience, patriotism and sheer will...actually the roman attack was incisive and superbly thought out. kudos to him really...

The best history series on YouTube is back! Thank you for producing these amazing videos

Always excited to see a new episode on this series :)

I really like this series, man! Thanks a lot for making it!

Please finish the second Punic war; this is a great series!

Thanks for this great work

This is the best channel I know period! I always can't wait for the next one, but I understand how much effort and research must go into this. You're doing an amazing job. Thanks and keep it up because it's even better than some historical TV shows and movies

Magnificent. I love this series.

I love the level of detail. Proud to ve a patreon :)

be* :)

That was interesting to find out what was going on in Sardinia during Punic war! Thank you!

Wonderful video. It's amazing your job, I was so blind about the second punic war believing that Tuciccino, Trasimene, Cannae, Metaurus, and Zama was all. Thank you for your teachings!!!

good to see this series continues, look forward to next

Always great to see a new video about the great Hannibal.

Gracias por los Subtitulos, grande la saga ya estoy ansioso de mas contenido!

Premium content as usual. this series in particular is by far my favourite

Best history channel I ever see hop best for the development team ❤️

Thank you for your work on this series. I knew very little of Hannibal before watching. Now I'm obsessed!

WOW the animations are incredible, they are improving so much

Excellent continuing coverage of this epic conflict!

Great video ! Love the series and can’t wait to see more!

Even if it's a small victory, I am full of joy, because the Romans have finally won a battle. Great work!

I can't wait for the 17th part! I've been watching for years and will do for many more!

Excellent video! Looking forward to more of them :)

Always looking forward to your videos! And I guess you'll soon move away from 216 bc and we'll start to see some changes in Rome's scoreboard :D

That's the plan!

Excellent series so far. 👍 I just found out how complex Carthaginian internal politics are. Hanno II just explain this quote "Better to have bad peace than good war"

Excellent job, keep on going historymarch i love this series so much

This man is just amazing. He is telling the stories of over 2 thousands years ago so simply yet profound. Incredible bruh

what an excellent series!

Amazing video!You turned the hannibal series to second punic war series!Awesome!Waiting for the next battles...

I ordered a Carthaginian coin from 200BC this week, hopefully it will arrive tomorrow. It feels great to be part of this epic story. !!

It feels great to be Carthaginian 🙂

Such amazing detail in your videos. Well done!

I watch this series mostly to hear your commentry which makes it much more thrilling and conforting at the same time lol.

Such a joy to watch these battles such a lovely period of time to be lived again with your efforts thank you

The best and most accurate historical series I have ever seen.

Great program,, Love the minor battles. Respect both sides equally , an epic struggle worthy of a Homer

I was feeling bored today with nothing interesting to watch, I decided to re-watch hannibal series again, and to my surprise saw this new part being uploaded 16 minutes ago. Amazing series so far, since from the first part I decided that I would only watch hannibal series from HistoryMarche channel so whenever I encounter any event related to hannibal on different videos I would immediately skip ahead as I don't want to get spoiled.

Great stuff, can't wait for the other parts. Many Thanks.

I got a new job today, but THIS is what made my day. That's how awesome you guy's are. Keep up the great work👍

Thank you very much :)

Your videos are very detailed and show the war on and off of the battlefield.

I’m watching all these over again!! SO GOOD

It's amazing how all of these states had such competing internal interests. They would rather risk losing the whole war than to give their rivals full credit.

this is one of my fav series on youtube and i dont want to think about it ending but i will absolutely be cheering when carthage starts to lose lmao, i think i can understand the roman's side more now lol

such a great series this is thank you all for your amesing work putting it all togheter

Amazing content, keep it up :)

Thanks for this master piece, Hannibal's season

I always have the impression i am watching a huge budget movie that lasts 20-25min. Such passion you put in these videos, no wonder they are that good. I thank you for your work sir, we all do.

It doesn't get any better than this! Thank y'all!

Considering that Carthage was wiped off the face of the Earth in less than a hundred years after this-or at least in terms of its identity as a nation or people- Hanno's move was a bit of a stupid one in hindsight.

First! Never clicked on a video so fast in my life ❤

Thanks for the video, we appreciate a job you have done.

Because of videos like these I've gotten used to viewing ancient history like a drama series. The power struggles, heroes, villains and everything in between. Hanno II annoys me the more I hear about him... What would the world look like if this singular man didn't exist?

perfect! hurry make a next part please :)

I'm sooo glad ya continuing these series !

Needless to say, another great video and please don’t hate me @HistoryMarche but when should we expect the next chapter (part 17)

@HistoryMarche I bet, can’t wait for the next one

Thank you sir. Probably in December. I can work on 1 of these episodes per month, they're quite time consuming to make.

My favorite series on YouTube always makes my day when a new episode comes out

"They outnumber us 2 to 1, what are we supposed to use, harsh language?" Titus: Yes

My favorite history channel doesn't fail to deliver my favorite history series

These videos always put a smile on my face!!!

Much love for this awesome series ♥♥

Thank you for the amazing videos mate, was about to sleep but kept my eyes open just for this video awesome content

19:42 Shoutouts to that one nameless "Mr Smallus Dickus" centurion, his wit with words was instrumental to the Romans winning the battle that day.

I hope the next episode of this is coming soon. That was great.

It's bean long time since I have sold my soul to the gods of the algorithm, for your amazing content I would sell it again, keep up the amazing work! Can't wait to see Hannibal's saga conclusion.

Great episode Waiting for the next episode already!!

This series really makes me want to play Total War: Rome.

Rome 2 is 1000x better

great work!!!

If 20 years ago, when I was a school kid, someone told me that sometime I'll be watching history lessons at will, I would laugh at their face. I didn't know there are going to be such brilliant and engaging history lessons though...

Omg, we need the continuation of the confront in that island... excellent job Sir, you're the best !!

This is the best series i ever seen! So many details and battles i didnt even know about even though i have watched 10000 Hannibal documentaries xd

Yes I love this series!!!!

Another Video. Another Sacrifice. Keep up the good work :D
