    I'm glad that leather strap was brought up. I recall first natives to the Americas having a wooden handle that did the same thing for the intent of hunting mammoths and I never knew why we never saw something similar in the old world

      The atlatl was used by more than just native Americans. The leather spear aid was a little different of a technology that did something similar but different.

    Tip. Say "in this video we will discuss xyz", not "in this essay we will discuss xyz"
    essay makes it sound like a tedious high school related task to get through on a subconscious level

    This type of soldier inspired reforms amung the Celtic pro-knights, who inturn inspired further reforms in Greek armies who fielded two classes of meduim infantry the Cuirasser and th Shieldmen, bith equiped with large ovular celtic shields
    The Cuirasser would also wear layers of body armor, usually a heavy linothorax and a kardiophylax or maille and a kardiophylax, while the Shieldmen would wear a light linothorax or a small kardiophylax. A region of Persia would even adopt a smiliar way of war.

    Were they like Thureos Spears unit from Rome 2 Total War?

    • @AncientHistoryGuy
      @AncientHistoryGuy  ปีที่แล้ว +5

      No thureos are basically a Greek version of Celtic infantry. Thureos is also the type of shield they used so the Greeks named the unit after the shield. Same as how the hoplites are named after the hoplon and the peltast after the pelte

    Wasn't Iphikrates a Theban not a Spartan?

      Well, apparently he was an Athenian. I guess I was thinking of Epaminondas.

    I just read an essay/article from some journalistic historian claiming Sparta is overhyped and wasn't actually all that great. Mind you I read it just after watching your video on the later spartan reforms when they started fielding ightly armored hoplites. He claimed Spartan army wasn't actually successful and they were stubbornly stuck in old ridged ways as if they never changed. He kept using the movie 300 as the thing he was arguing against. People have used Sparta as some kind of conservative stand in to attack froma woke POV.... Trying to tare it down. It was a complete injustice. Minimizing the effectiveness of the phalanx by citing the times it failed Sparta even though it was the most effective tactic evident by its use for hundreds of years. Also ignoring the fact that sure, light infantry tactics did work, but Sparta adopted it almost as quickly and used it to great effect. What drives me nuts is the idea that spart - Athens is comparable to conservative-liberal in the moderns sense of social politics. Yes they were conservative in traditions, but out of the two, Sparta was much more egalitarian when it came to women's rights AND, contrary to common assumptions, treatment of "slaves". Athens had slaves, they couldn't marry or have children, they were sold and worked to death. Sparta had serfs, they could own property and have families and could make their own profit. Completely backwards to what people assume

    How did the peltasts "pave the way for Spartan hegemony"? The Spartans were already on top of their game before Iphicrates brought in the peltasts and beat a Spartan column with their mobile tactics.

    spoilt by stupid cartoon graphics. Why not show the pelte shields and weapons with proper graphics illustrating the ideas
