This is my second time enjoying this superb podcast. I find that I am picking up additional pieces and filling out the whole picture of this Immense and fascinating period. Thank you agin Mike Duncan for such a great job. This is the best history lesson I have ever had. Peter A.
Mike Duncan Bravo, Bravo. I don't know your background but you should be a history Prof or teacher. You really give some great insight into Roman History. I would Love to see you do a series on Ancient Egypt.
When I heard about the sacred chickens in Rome 2 total war I honestly thought it was a joke but sure enough the Romans, superstitious and gods fearing as they were, did rely on chickens for prophetic wisdom.
Am going to note your channel for future reference. Am reading Project Gutenberg's The Histories of Polybius, Vol. I (of 2) and will follow with the second volume of fragment translations. Am glad you have posted these vids.
I listened to this both before and after Oversimplified's take on the Punic Wars. It's been awesome to have the full story, then enjoy the humorous take on it, then come back and revel in just how crazy it all actually was.
Yep. Back again. Necessarily dropped my study for a bit of time and am refreshing my memory of the First Punic War. Left off my study at the Second Punic War, with all of the tribal betrayals and I think one legion having landed at Utica. Really cool stuff. EDit: am keeping a lot of focus on the navy. Episode 20b? Hmmm Just noticed this. Alrighty. Am set and would like to thank you again for putting this Roman History together.
I am pretty sure that the Pronounciation back in ROman times was quite unlike anything we use today , esp since the Carthaginians spoke a semetic language AFAIK....
"In Plato's Laws, he asserts that this love of money has led the Phoenicians and Egyptians to develop skills in cunning and trickery (πανουργία) rather than wisdom (σοφία)."
So to note Dio does refute the statements that terms for surrender were extreme and states it was to just vacate Sicily. Also Regulus has a whole legend to his name as some kind of example of honor and dignity after these stunts
the Persian king, Cambyses II planed to conquer Carthage but his Phonecian subjects declined stating that they refuse to fight their fellow people group so that was scrapped. also this was after he conquered Egypt.
Really love the Duncanisms in these videos. "Hamilcar Barracka Obamakis" It made me look up his name again just to make sure I'm not crazy, I mean I've read Polybios ! Apparently in Phoenician it's believed his name was pronounced 'Homilqart Baraq', so, maybe we have to give this one to Mr. Duncan after all : )) Anyway, the picture the Romans & Polybios seem to paint of Carthage is one of an incredibly petty and paranoid plutocracy, whose generals are perpetually reeled in by a mix of greed and paranoia. We kind of see the same narrative with certain Emperors later. It's always fun to wonder how accurate senatorial/senatorial-ally interpretation of events are.
Probably just a coincidence. The Spanish who seized the gold and silver from Latin America were mostly not the same people as those who had their gold and silver stolen from them; apart from Galicia and the Basque country, the Celtiberians were basically replaced by the Romans. Small numbers of other people came in (and were usually expelled) later, like the Moors, Gypsies, and some Jews, but Spain (including Catalonia) is mostly Roman in descent. There were also a tiny number of Greeks and even some Phoenician colonies, but those were tiny and basically irrelevant.
Well the Emirate of Cordoba ruled most of Iberia for almost 800 years. There is a lot of Muslim and middle eastern influence especially in the south. The Visigoths ruled over the romans but by the time the reconquista was over it was the galicians and catillians who were on top. And they were not Roman in descent.
The General Poulter who threw the chickens in the sea, is he the reason we have the English word Poultry? Lol how ironic if not, but they have to be related.
Poultry comes from Latin via Old French, from the PIE root faw- meaning 'little' or 'small' - so actually the same root as 'fowl' and 'paltry.' That f/p shift is a common one - pod/foot, pisca/fish. The general's name was Publius Claudius Pulcher.
I just assumed Hannibal Barca got power young, many that show true skill do, like Alexander & Napoleon (though, props to Phillip II, Alexanders father for preparing Macedon).
You only briefly mention the battle of Ecnomus, the largest naval battle ever. You should do an episode abut only Ecnomus, if there are enough historic sources. Larger than Salamis and Lepanto and anything that happened in the world wars of the 20th century in numbers of ships and men. Here's a description of the battle using some gaming software for illustration: th-cam.com/video/jpGMSzgd8eg/w-d-xo.html
Byzantium was colonized by the Greeks from Megara in 657 BC, and remained primarily Greek-speaking until its conquest by the Ottoman Empire in AD 1453. Also look up the ancient Anatolian Kingdom of Pontus, Greeks from the Black sea. A blend of Greek and Persian influences. Yes, Greek identity can challenge any Ukrainian Ethnic groups and prove Greeks were in the Black sea far before any Slavic ethnic group existed. What is commonly called the kingdom of Pontos flourished for over 200 years in the coastal regions of the Black Sea. At its peak in the early first century BC, it included much of the southern, eastern, and northern littoral, becoming one of the most important Hellenistic dynasties founded before a successor of Alexander the Great. It also posed one of the greatest challenges to Roman imperial expansion in the East. Not until 63 BC, after many violent clashes, was Rome able to subjugate the kingdom and its last charismatic ruler Mithridates VI, who proved to be as formidable a foe to Rome as Hannibal. He has been called the greatest ruler of the Kingdom of Pontus. He cultivated an immunity to poisons by regularly ingesting sub-lethal doses; this practice, now called mithridatism, is named after him. After his death, he became known as Mithridates the Great. And after the full of Rome by the Germanic tribes and mercenaries from the far East of Asia that murdered most of the Romans and destroyed and looted Rome. Some Romans managed to flee to Byzantium and were saved by the Greek Royal Guards of Byzantium. The same Greek Royal Guards of Byzantium who trained the Anglo-Saxons from England, after they fled England from the Normans. The popes are not even Roman, that's why popes don't have last names. Poverty-stricken like one of many barbarians that invaded Europe was Odoacer, the Germanic king of the Torcilingi, and he self-proclaimed himself as the new Roman emperor and he embraced everything Roman and Greek. So the Roman state continued and some of its traditions were maintained, modern historians distinguish Byzantium from ancient Rome insofar as it was centred on Constantinople, oriented towards Greek rather than Latin culture and characterised by Orthodox Christianity. And Greek history records show that the Germanic tribe's were given the Netherlands and not Europe. Germanic peoples are nomadic like the Turks and British. There's an intelligent documentary in English to be made about Byzantium culture, and this isn't it. History is way more clear with a Hellenic classical education, and someone who speaks like a native Greek and not as an outsider/foreigner who learned Greek. Dionysius Pyrrhus requests the exclusive use of Hellene in his Cheiragogy: "Never desire to call yourselves Romans, but Hellenes, for the Romans from ancient Rome enslaved and destroyed Hellas." And George Gemistus Plethon pointed out to Constantine Palaeologus that the people he leads are "Hellenes, as their race and language and education testifies". Ducas Vatatzes, wrote in a letter to Pope Gregory IX about the wisdom that "rains upon the Hellenic nation". He maintained that the transfer of the imperial authority from Rome to Constantinople was national and not geographic, and therefore did not belong to the Latins occupying Constantinople: Constantine's heritage was passed on to the Hellenes, so he argued, and they alone were its inheritors and successors. His son, Theodore II Lascaris, was eager to project the name of the Greeks with true nationalistic zeal. He made it a point that "the Hellenic race looms over all other languages" and that "every kind of philosophy and form of knowledge is a discovery of Hellenes […]. What do you, O Rome, have to display?" No other small country can compare with Greece in terms of impact on human benefit. In the beginning... God created the Earth, and in the light blue waters, put a small ship to travel forever, in order not only to give birth but also to transfer great ideas all over the world ... He called that ship...HELLAS! The Greeks created it, the Germans copy it, and the English exploit it. The only good is knowledge, and the only evil is ignorance. Herodotus
Excellent ! Narration pitched at just the right level . Factual but light and slightly ironic . I'm British but actually prefer a North American ( incl Canada ) accent for lengthy narration. Main problem is too many Brits think they sound like Laurence Olivier !!
Found out about a couple of Timaeus'. Forgot already yet will see the name again. Darn, to do a real study of Greece, Rome and basically Western Modern Europe, a "real" study takes ages. rofl. EDit: have found some mighty fine sites to use. Am styling Polybius' "Histories Vol. I&2" and researching everything. Totally interesting. Have almost decided what to do next. Am using Open Web public domain writings. Any references and extra "stuff" am giving credit where credit is due. Am thankful for GutenbergProject-TM.
this should be watched by anyone who want to undertand today's geopolituc. Carthage a naval superpower , rich by sea trade , hyper militaristic and decadent potray US empire today , while the rome republic potray Russia and China. The result would be devastating to US empire as their obsolete military got massacred and their civilization collapsed

“But they found some extra money in the couch cushions to pay some different mercenaries” lol good line
Zachary Isaacs He does have a lot of good lines
Randomly finding this video years ago and moving onto Mike Duncan’s podcast got me into Roman history.
D
Timaeus is by far the best for history channel for us amateur historians , it is presented clearly and with a sense of humor . Thanks guys
Mike Duncan is the author and presenter. Timaeus is only repackaging the podcast into 2hr episodes
I love this whole podcast for the past months I've listened and fell asleep well listening. it's absolutely great man these are all old I know. but thank you very much for posting this
Things on never to do list in history
1. never ingage Carthage in a naval battle
2.never try to defeat the Romans the same way twice
3.And always tak ed the advice of the sacred chicken before going to battle
One must never go against the sacred chicken.
Aw Shucks +10 percent just to be shure.
pay your damned mercenaries ya bag of rocks
You forgot 1 vital thing DON'T EVER kill a Mongol envoy, EVER.
Darth Saiyan Mamluks?
Always pay your mercenaries lol. Especially considering theyre now all battle hardened veterans that have been fighting for years
Great point. Why shaft an army that proves victorious.
Alamyst2011 they lost, so pay them even more
@@Alamyst2011 maybe they didn't even have the money offered? Expecting them to lose but weaken the enemy. My only thought on that. Not sure why you'd piss them off on purpose

Amazing series that I'm enjoying very much. Thanks for the hard work.
Incredible video, much appreciated!
Finally someone going in depth about the punic wars
Mike Duncan Bravo, Bravo. I don't know your background but you should be a history Prof or teacher. You really give some great insight into Roman History. I would Love to see you do a series on Ancient Egypt.
I’ve literally been listening to this for three weeks every night as I fall asleep and I’m only just starting this episode
52:03
G.O.A.T. of History Pulcher was the GREATEST OF ALL TIME!
🐐.
How do you go to war without the sacred chickens?
Indeed! (Time stamp is anyone's interested is @52:13)
When I heard about the sacred chickens in Rome 2 total war I honestly thought it was a joke but sure enough the Romans, superstitious and gods fearing as they were, did rely on chickens for prophetic wisdom.
thuzan117 but the sacred chickens were not wrong.
' If they wont eat, then let them drink.'
this is very well done thank you I've been very interested in rome history and this helps greatly in that pursuit.
"If they aren't hungry, maybe they're thirsty?"
-- Publius Claudius Pulcher, 249 BC, the greatest memelord of Rome
Am going to note your channel for future reference. Am reading Project Gutenberg's The Histories of Polybius, Vol. I (of 2) and will follow with the second volume of fragment translations. Am glad you have posted these vids.
Thank you for this video i learned a lot... listend to the whole video 2.. I cant wait to hear more
53:00 *Claudius ranting about “those fucking chickens” in his quarters while the ship sinks *
I listened to this both before and after Oversimplified's take on the Punic Wars. It's been awesome to have the full story, then enjoy the humorous take on it, then come back and revel in just how crazy it all actually was.
Enjoyable and educational. I will link it around.
Glad you liked it :)
Love these episodes! More of these, perhaps with other empires, specifically the Byzantines if they're not covered in this series, or The Huns!
At last I’ve found time to pick up this podcast again.

THE ROMAN EMPIRE WAS BUILT OFF THE APATITE OF THE SACRED CHICKENS!
🐔
Great video bro! keep up the great work!
Are you certain about Hannibal’s father’s name? I remember it as being Hamilcar Barca(alternatively Barcas).
Yes, it's Barca not Baraca.
This is how I fall asleep, thank you
yup...even with CK2, although mercenaries are initially OP, but they are costly as fuck and you must be sure to be able to pay them their dues.
"Hannibal Baraca" is mentioned a lot in this section. The family name was Barca.
Carlos Saraiva is barak Obama realated to this family
I am pretty sure that the Pronounciation back in ROman times was quite unlike anything we use today , esp since the Carthaginians spoke a semetic language AFAIK....
Were the Phoenicians Jewish?
Phoenician, but that is related to the Jews. Sort of. Both speak an Afro-Asiatic language. Plus, Phoenicia (today's Lebanon) is just north of Israel.
"In Plato's Laws, he asserts that this love of money has led the Phoenicians and Egyptians to develop skills in cunning and trickery (πανουργία) rather than wisdom (σοφία)."
How can you claim to do a comprehensive history of Rome without one mention of Bigus Dickus?!?
I've got a vewy good fwiend in Wome called Biggus Dickus
Holy shit kek. Caught me off guard.
And he has a wife yu know..
Kevin Coleman the cunning linguist -
INCONTINENTIA!
"The subtle art of marine battle...RAMMING"
That's what he gets for wetting the sacred Chickens.

What's this map called?
Is it a Roman map ? 🙏🏻
So to note Dio does refute the statements that terms for surrender were extreme and states it was to just vacate Sicily.
Also Regulus has a whole legend to his name as some kind of example of honor and dignity after these stunts
So Rome is like Rocky Balboa and Hiero is like Mickey Goldmill
Great channel
This is great work but dude, 1:00:49 You did not call him that right? Surely you know who that is and the proper way to say his name?
This is a podcast by Mike Duncan, Timaeus is only the uploader.
...as clearly stated in the description.
And asked anyway
the Persian king, Cambyses II planed to conquer Carthage but his Phonecian subjects declined stating that they refuse to fight their fellow people group so that was scrapped. also this was after he conquered Egypt.
Love that you pronounced reneg probably lol
Really love the Duncanisms in these videos. "Hamilcar Barracka Obamakis"

I wonder if Pulcher is where we get the word Poultry from...
Awwwwww shieeeet. Now we’re in it.

Nonamearisto well Spain has been heavily contested for the longest time. Lots of history there.
Well the Emirate of Cordoba ruled most of Iberia for almost 800 years. There is a lot of Muslim and middle eastern influence especially in the south. The Visigoths ruled over the romans but by the time the reconquista was over it was the galicians and catillians who were on top. And they were not Roman in descent.
Nonamearisto *Visigothic
The map you are using is like 300 years after the Punic Wars.
Yeah but it shows the area under discussion.
The story about the chickens getting thrown in water is priceless
If you work hard, you too can have a piece of the Punic pie.
Isnt it Barca, or Barcas instead of Baraca???
1:05:00
The Punic wars sounds like it would make a good armando iannucci series
I can't tell if it's just my dog ears but I can hear a high pitched sound all thru part 2 that's driving me crazy
There is yes
Man some times you got to love religion some really funny shit in there.
Such a good lob
The General Poulter who threw the chickens in the sea, is he the reason we have the English word Poultry? Lol how ironic if not, but they have to be related.
Rob Gibson
I thought it was from the Normans.
BS
@@bananian French is a Romance language, most of it is based on Latin - as in this case.
Poultry comes from Latin via Old French, from the PIE root faw- meaning 'little' or 'small' - so actually the same root as 'fowl' and 'paltry.' That f/p shift is a common one - pod/foot, pisca/fish.
The general's name was Publius Claudius Pulcher.
Pulcher means handsome or pretty, if I'm remembering correctly.
always listen to the sacred chickens, my fellow Romans 🫡
You smack your lips a lot in this one haha other than that you're a saint. Thank you so much for this
53:00
So, do we think Rome have achieved a Mediterranean Empire if not for King Heiro II & his people?
I just assumed Hannibal Barca got power young, many that show true skill do, like Alexander & Napoleon (though, props to Phillip II, Alexanders father for preparing Macedon).
