GEOGRAPHY NOTES
Messina is the modern name for Messana. Both are correct.
Acragas / Akragas was renamed as Agrigentum by the Romans. Most videos on TH-cam use the name Agrigentum for convenience purposes... so again, both are correct.
Panormus is modern day Palermo.
Drepana / Drepanum is modern day Trapani.
Lilybaeum is modern day Marsala.

A Bit About MoAn Inc. -
Trust me, the ancient world isn’t as boring as you may think. In this series, I'll be walking you through a VERY basic idea of what happened during Rome’s famous Punic Wars.

“Everyone gets really hangry” is one of the most succinct explications of siege warfare I have ever heard. 😂 Great work as always Erica!
The idea more historians don’t call it what it is - hangry - baffles me, honestly 😂 And thank you!
First off let's call it, Rome has the first marines. Land troops at sea. The story of Ploka(?) and the chickens really needs a skit. It is so funny on so many levels. Consulting chickens for battle first off, but then to choose to ignore them and lose only to be derided for the rest of his life for ignoring the chickens. No comedian can do better than real life! Great show Erica!
I loved when my prof in History of the Republic told the story of the seasick sacred chickens. Your channel reminds me why I originally intended at uni to become a Roman historian. I love it.
✨✨✨
To quote Napoleon: "You think you're so great because you have boats!"

Hey! Really enjoyed this video. I'm so excited to learn more about the Punic Wars. You did a great job explaining it. ❤
Thank you! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video 🥹🫶🏼
@MoAnInc well done I would also recommend a famous channel Kings and Generals. They are doing the Punic wars right now.
This is probably the best explanation of the 1st punic wars I've heard❤ it's pretty good not gonna lie you have a wonderful way of keeping it exciting ❤ thanks
Oh thank you so much ✨🫶🏼
That you were able to say, “Pulcher goes to his chickens” with a straight face has earned my eternal respect. 😅
✨magical chickens✨
your enthusiasm is frikkin awesome. "Magic Chickens!! ...Go Carthage Go !!!! (oops, damn)....
RIP Carthage😢
Once again, Erica is a delight to listen to - she sets the standard for teaching ancient history with her enthusiastic manner and her clarity w.r.t. explaining content. 👌
Just so you know, your pedagogy is brilliant, so don’t beat yourself up over it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🥹🫶🏼✨
I've listened to podcasts and read books about these conflicts and I can't wait to get more into the sources.
☺️
Great topic, thank you!
Thank you so much!
So informative and out across so well. Thank you so much.
Thank you 🥹🫶🏼✨
I love your video. Thank you. I knew so little about the first Punic war. Thank you. You look great. We are freezing in Texas.
Thanks for watching!
The Mamertines were Italians from Campania, which is why they appealed to Rome (who controlled all of Italy).
Many of the towns in the Carthaginian controlled part of Sicily were Greek and didn't like being ruled from Carthage, and had been fighting them since 480 BC.
Claudius Pulcher giving the sacred chickens the deep six...bad move!
The First Punic War is so interesting. Rome’s adaptation to naval warfare, the development of the corvus boarding device, we get to see Rome at its best in some ways.
Super interesting indeed!
It is remarkable that the Romans, tyros at sea, won nearly every naval engagement over the seafaring Carthaginians
so excited!!
🤠
Thank you, Erica. ❤❤❤❤
That was one of the best telling of the First Punic War. I enjoy reading about ancient wars, especially Greek and Roman. But The Mercenary War is something new to me. You have taught me something very important. Listen to the chickens. That goes double for" Magical Chickens".
If anyone takes anything from this video, I hope it is to ALWAYS listen to the chickens 🐓🙌🏼
It’s crazy how the Mamertines minted coins in Messina for twenty years before the refugees finally made it down the beach to Syracuse
I loved this! Poor Carthage🥺 looking forward to learning about the Mercenary war🫶🏻
Thank you, gorgeous!!! ❤️
WWI classical edition! Fantastic overview as expected! makes me want to finally read my Polybius!
Polybius is GREAT!!! I may be biased, but you should definitely give him a chance 😍
This is probably exactly the Erica the German military is (in)famous for singing about!
Und das heisst! *bom bom bom* Erica!
The First Punic War was a pretty good start for the Rome franchise. But they cooked even better with the sequel.

Brilliant, my friend.
Lovely and highly entertaining
Would really appreciate a chalkboard, a whiteboard, something to keep things organized as you go
🎉 🏆 Thirty-two-thousand subscribers! I'll try my best to celebrate every thousand... but I missed 31k.. So, sorry about that but I made sure I got the big 3-0k. But just think.... Almost 1/3 of the way to the coveted 100k. And I've been here when you only had about 3k-4k back in '22. I know, it's a slow grind to 100k but... keep in mind that YT is very, very competitive these days!! 🏁
THANK YOU 🫶🏼🫶🏼
So, the Romans build fleets (with soldiers and crew), keep losing them, and then keep building more fleets and finding more men...shame Carthage didn't see that pattern 😂😂
They did see the pattern, they just couldn't keep up.
fwiw Syracuse also figured prominently in the second Peloponnesian war.
1st! I have been looking forward to this. Thanks!
🥇✨
Prophetic chickens. See I Claudius and Claudius the god .
So the siege of Agrigento is basically like the battle of Alesia?
sounds like yeah, i was gonna make a human centipede joke about the tactical donut
... there any cops around?
Girl, do you have a video about the ancient silk-road? I'm curious about those things. Caravan stuff. I also wonder how different the silk-road was during Roman times from the Middle Ages, for instance. That's something I have never seen people talk about.
Roman period was contemporary to what in China? Han Dinasty? I don't know how far did the Han reached over the maps, but I have heard on the internet that the Tang at least reached as far as the Caspian at some point. In any case, there were like all those places in inner Asia, like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and the like. I sometimes see people mentioning Persia and so forth but the further you go to those areas at such old period information gets scarce.
Hi Erika. Try to use geacron for maps.
With the many mentions of "boats" for warships, I'm starting to wonder whether Erica has been possessed by The Fat Electrician. 😄
Depending on how you calculate the worth of a Talent, 32,000 Talents is about $800mil.
holy hell
@MoAnInc That's the MINIMUM it could be based on the calculation of what a "talent" is using the basic weight of silver to $$ ratio. If you consider that a talent could also be considered as the term used to describe a yearly wage for an average Roman worker...the amount in today's dollars is much, much more. In some references a single talent is about $500k. An insane amount of money for Carthage to pay back.
divulge: reveal.
diverge: split, divide from.
I figure the pronunciation mistake was just a slip of the tongue but i also figure non-native speakers need to know the difference.
It’s obvious the guys (beside the geeks maybe) had forgotten (or not read) the 200ish years old knowledge Plato remarked. -That expansion = conflict and wars
The envy of Rome. Carthage, the Carthaginian Navy and Merchant Fleet and Carthaginian Wealth....Rome took "pick-pocketing" to a higher level.
Roma: Sees Carthaginian boats
INCEPTION CAPTAIN KURTZ
No one but Erica knew the reason the Chinese called Roma "Greater China" (just like we call Turkiye Asia minor fyi)
Everyone I meet, I am telling them that the Romans lost a battle because they didn't listen to Magic Chickens...🤨🤪🤣
Got to ask; how big an influence is Lara Croft?
Go nuts on the brutality of the mercenary wars - we can take it!
Delenda est
praeclara
Thank you :)
