As the guy who did research for Carthage on the original Europa Barbarorum mod for RTW, the Carthage content is sooo satisfying. Better than any documentary on tv.
@bastiat no phoenicians are semitic people with close racial and linguistic religion to jews and assyrians. In fact, modern Israeli alphabet is Phoenician alphabet. Greeks are Indo European by contrast.

I live in Sicily and I must admit that these videos of punic and greek history of Sicily are very well made. It's thrilling to see such ancient history in the very place I live in.

bruda all you see is propaganda the real ancient greek came from the pelasgians and the modern greeks have nothing to do with the pelasgians. the only popullation left with pelasgians blood is the Albanians
I'm a Greek myself, and I didn't know we had a campaign against Carthage! The best things with channels like you is that I can discover a lot of things about my own nation's history
What Carthage couldn’t accomplish in Sicily for over 300 years, Rome did in a couple of generations. I was definitely a fan of Carthage and the Barcid clan growing up, but man they would’ve accomplished much more had they invested in a standing army, enfranchised the Libyan population, and curtailed the excesses of the oligarchs. Merchants and traders will always put their financial bottom line above everything. Carthage is an early proof of that.
you're wrong by the end of the wars most of sicily was in the hands of Carthage either by direct ownership or through client states with the exception of Syracuse who was cooperating during the early 3rd century bc. Also you cant compare the political, economical and military landscape of the 6th to 4th century BC as opposed to the 3rd century BC. Different times, different circumstances.
@@nisarbo3781 Carthage just never had the heart to conquer and assimilate. At least compared to the Greeks and Romans. Just look at how in Iberia, North Africa, Sardinia and Sicily they kept the local populations in tact, they didn’t make them “Carthaginian”.
They weren't interested in people's religion just there own beliefs including child sacrifice 100% his right the merchants didn't help him or most of the nobility don't forget his was in Italy for over 20 years that's crazy living of conquest alone

Absolutely awsome that someone took so much effort to make videos about those wars. They are always overshadowed by wars in Greece and by Punic-Roman wars. I was very surprised years ago when I first time run into information about battle of Himera in 480BC.

I was in carthage 2 days ago in a hill facing the bay of tunis .. i was there for 2 hours just watching the sea and the cloudy far mountains just imagining the Carthaginian fleets moving in the distance with the voices of thounsands of men fighting the waves and heading to the war . It was an epic sene
The Battle of Motya happened some 60-odd years before Alexander the Great besieged Tyre in his grand campaign against the Persians....I wonder if he saw the parallels of history in these two battles as he built his own land bridge out to a Punic island. Alexander was well-educated and intelligent, so it's possible he drew directly on the lessons learned at Motya but I don't know for sure. Fascinating regardless
I believe there is little doubt that Dionysius impacted Alexander's storming of Tyre, only with a much grander mole that still exists to the present time.

Awesome video, that covered much of the Greek-Carthage conflict in Sicily. Though that i would like to add that the conflict between Greeks and Carthageneans started basically in 540 BC, with the sea Battle of Alalia, when the allied Punic-Etruscan fleet, fought against the only Greek colony of Corsica, Alalia - today Aleria -, built by the Phocaeans (who had alredy built the great city of Massalia - today Marseille -, in the coasts of today's France). It's a crucial battle, in which for the first time in history was used the naval ram as a weapon. Also the Greek-Punic conflict in Sicily continued beyond 301 BC, with the arrival of Pyrrus in the island. And a fun fact, in a moment of historical irony, Carthage will be saved during the First Punic War from the Romans of Marcus Atilius Regulus, thanks to Greek mercenary commander, Xanthippus from Sparta.
It already started with the battle of Motya in 580 BC when greek colonists tried to force coloniziation western sicily and during this time the still independent phoenician fortress of Motya repelled these intruders from the western coast of Sicily (maybe with help of the Carthaginians as well)

I always find these conflicts fascinating. In fact, I have a novel that is set in this era. It’s called “Tyrant”, by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, and it focuses on the personal life of Dionysius, how he rose to power and fended off Carthage’s armies (sans war elephants). The book even mentioned the Athenian expedition to Syracuse during the Peloponnesian War, as well as when Brennus and the Sennones sacked Rome itself.

An excellent video, thanks! I have two corrections though: 28:21 - Hermocrates did not send survivors back to Syracuse, he sent the bones of the Syracusans who had died at the Second Battle of Himera to cast blame on his rival, Diocles, the Syracusan general who neglected to recover the remains of their fallen countrymen (Diodorus 13.75.2). 40:08 - Hannibal and Himilco were not brothers, but cousins. This can be concluded by combining a few sources. First from Justin 19.1-2 we get Hamilcar as the father of Hanno and Gisco. Next, from Diodorus 13.43.5 we get Hannibal as the son of Gisco and grandson of Hamilcar. Finally, from Diodorus 13.80.1-2 we learn that Himilco is the son of Hanno, and that he is “of the same family” as Hannibal. The names of these two generals and the names of their fathers are also supported by two inscriptions: a Punic inscription (CIS I 5510) and a Greek inscription (IG I³ 123; AIO 310).

At 4:24 the icon used to identify the Phoenicians looks like a trace of the painting "Phoenician Infantryman" by Joan Francesc Oliveras Pallerols, a talented historical artist. Y'all should check out his stuff if you haven't already.
I love this Channel. And i love the community commenting. There is so much analytical intelligence evident in the history buffs here in the comments and ofcourse from the channel. Love history. Love history channels like yours. Love this community.

Carthage was awful at war. It was founded way before Rome and couldn't subdue Sicily in 100 years. I'm amazed they lasted as long as they did in the first 2 Punic Wars.
Thanks for this exessive documentation. This ist a very interesting part of history and less focused on in comparisson to later roman punic wars, although I can imagine that sources are rare.

I was so confused about Hannibal dying in Sicily. Had no idea there were multiple great Hannibal’s
Yeah it gets confusing studying Carthage when so many men had the same names
Both Hannibal and hamilcar (his father) was very common names for the Carthaginians
I was in carthage 2 days ago in a hill facing the bay of tunis .. i was there for 2 hours just watching the sea and the cloudy far mountains just imagining the Carthaginian fleets moving in the distance with the voices of thounsands of men fighting the waves and heading to the war .
It was an epic sene

The 3 Sicilian Wars, or Greco-Punic Wars, were a series of conflicts fought between the Carthaginians and the Greek city-states, led by Syracusans, over control of Sicily and the western Mediterranean between 600 BC and 265 BC. I suspect this guy is only after game dollars. And Ignorant, while hoping you are.
@@nisarbo3781the first greek Phoenician battle happened during the greek colonization of massalia, where a greek fleet defeated the Carthaginians
@@nisarbo3781 Phoenicians were "intruders" themselves. They originated from the Middle East and what is today considered Lebanon, Syria, Israel, etc.
This is a brilliant and cohesive documentary. Full film length and all. Very well done, lads and ladies.
Thank you Invicta for your decent contributions of documentaries 👏 👌
Answering the call and very impressed with the video!
Superb content as always. Incredibly insightful and educational!
Finally a full documentary on Punic-Sicilian wars. Thanks!
Dionysius drowning in alcohol seems like a fitting pun on his name.
Commenting to appease the algorithm gods. That said, fantastic video. Thank you for enriching long form content!
Informative historical coverage video about bloody competitiveness between Carthage & ancient Greek on Sicilian Island... thanks for sharing

Thank you. Just here to support your channel.

Wow this was great. How have a never read or watched a single thing about these wars until now and they’re every bit as intense as the Roman Punic wars. Very well done
It was a really interesting series of videos. It was a part of history I knew very little about and leaning about the different characters and actions, was out of a book
Excellent Video, 10/10 quality as usual. Thanks Team Invicta
It's pretty awesome that documentaries of this quality are free. I appreciate it!
Thank you for such high quality videos !
Fantastic work, thank you Invicta for making valuable long form content

Love your content mate. Any tiny thing to help!
This was a masterpiece! I can't wait for more of your documentaries.

Amazing content, like always!
So the Carthaginian have 3 names, Hamilcar, Hannibal, and Mago
Bro I was so confused for a minute lol
They also had Magon the father of what we know now as agriculture beside being the best sailors in history
If only Carthage invested in a standing army not mercs history would be different
Hano
@@publius5278 and Hano, yes.
Great, Great content... better than anything on cable for sure! You guys deserve a boost!

You called for the squad, we're here to put you back on the front page of this fickle site. Excellent work as always, if I dedicated the amount of time I'd like to watching your videos I would get nothing else done.
I love your videos. So thorough, so diligently made, so informative, and great visuals.
Great video. The animations make this a great resource for my home-schooled kids learning Western Civ!
What kind of patriotism do they teach the Canaanites to be good, or that the Romans love Europeans?
Epic video. Thank you so much for a wonderful production!
Can't believe how this channel mamages to push out so much high quality content with so much consistency! Amazing job with this video, as always and as expected :) 👍
Thanks for the video.
Great video as always, you guys are keeping history alive! Hope the algorithm changes it's mind soon :)
Absolutely cracking series, nicely compiled. Well done guys!

I always find these conflicts fascinating. In fact, I have a novel that is set in this era. It’s called “Tyrant”, by Valerio Massimo Manfredi, and it focuses on the personal life of Dionysius, how he rose to power and fended off Carthage’s armies (sans war elephants). The book even mentioned the Athenian expedition to Syracuse during the Peloponnesian War, as well as when Brennus and the Sennones sacked Rome itself.
I was in carthage 2 days ago in a hill facing the bay of tunis .. i was there for 2 hours just watching the sea and the cloudy far mountains just imagining the Carthaginian fleets moving in the distance with the voices of thounsands of men fighting the waves and heading to the war .
It was an epic sene
Happy to comment on any Punic content. Good luck with the algorithm gods
Why do you love the wicked Canaanites?
An excellent video, thanks! I have two corrections though:
28:21 - Hermocrates did not send survivors back to Syracuse, he sent the bones of the Syracusans who had died at the Second Battle of Himera to cast blame on his rival, Diocles, the Syracusan general who neglected to recover the remains of their fallen countrymen (Diodorus 13.75.2).
40:08 - Hannibal and Himilco were not brothers, but cousins. This can be concluded by combining a few sources. First from Justin 19.1-2 we get Hamilcar as the father of Hanno and Gisco. Next, from Diodorus 13.43.5 we get Hannibal as the son of Gisco and grandson of Hamilcar. Finally, from Diodorus 13.80.1-2 we learn that Himilco is the son of Hanno, and that he is “of the same family” as Hannibal. The names of these two generals and the names of their fathers are also supported by two inscriptions: a Punic inscription (CIS I 5510) and a Greek inscription (IG I³ 123; AIO 310).

Thanks for covering what’s usually considered less «popular» conflicts in ancient history!
I am sure that this Video will be worth it to watch
At 4:24 the icon used to identify the Phoenicians looks like a trace of the painting "Phoenician Infantryman" by Joan Francesc Oliveras Pallerols, a talented historical artist. Y'all should check out his stuff if you haven't already.
Excellent, you never cease to portray some great work.
Interesting! Never heard of this conflict.
Here after the Invicta call for help post. Doing my part for the algorithm, because you deserve the support. Always great content no matter the topic.
Nice video!
I love this Channel. And i love the community commenting. There is so much analytical intelligence evident in the history buffs here in the comments and ofcourse from the channel. Love history. Love history channels like yours. Love this community.
Fascinating, the scale of this conflict is a testimony to the financial strength of Carthage to fund this.
Love everything about the Punic wars. Fascinating
It's 1:26 am and I see Invicta posting a new video. What is sleep.
Great content man!
Who was better warrior?
Carthage needed more mercenaries and non Phoenician allies to fight so you do the math
Excellent history for all ages to enjoy.

Carthage was awful at war. It was founded way before Rome and couldn't subdue Sicily in 100 years. I'm amazed they lasted as long as they did in the first 2 Punic Wars.
Top notch and high quality as always. Time to cross the rubicon and take on this algo ranking war folks.
Ok
ths is so good and from all the many history channels this i find so vibrant and really interesting
Carthage was certainly successful in other ways. But sometimes history comes down to luck
It's not luck It's lies
a chauvinistic predatory force it was
no cultural superiority as far as spirit is concerned
Great content my friend!! Keep on going, the algorithm won't stop you!!
It's not forgotten for Sicilian history enthusiasts. Syracuse is a very famous state.
Thanks for this exessive documentation. This ist a very interesting part of history and less focused on in comparisson to later roman punic wars, although I can imagine that sources are rare.
You always have great content
Mind-blowing compilation!
Great presentation!
Your content never disappoints, great work!
Trying to leave a helpful comment. You guys do great work and deserve some recognition!
Merci pour cette magnifique vidéo ! _Tanmirt atas_

Keep the videos up man!
Super interesting in substance and format!
Great episode!

Invicta coming in hot with calming documentaries I watch at bedtime
