The accent on this guy is so tedious 😎
The poor children..
Religiously motivated child sacrifice is an unlikely hypothesis. The current genetic estimates of up to 30% non-biological fatherhood – even in today's monogamous societies suggest, (combined with limited male longevity in the pre-Christian era), point to many alternative explanations and possible motivations for eliminating unwanted offspring: Penalty for cheating wives, elimination of a spreading disease, elimination of genetic mutation, (remember Pompeii had lead plumbing), widows re-marrying on condition of removing offspring first. Religiously motivated child sacrifice requires too great of a "leap of faith" to be entertained as the "click bait" theory de jour.
1:27 I had no idea these Romans looked like that.
Have you seen anything on the Etruscans. There were several groups that were far more positive & interesting than the Romans in period.
Fake Carthage. zzzzzzzz
There's an interesting set of videos by Schwerpunkt about the Roman Asian and African provinces that I strongly recommend
Never been to carthage ruins/area but did see the roman baths in Bath in the UK and the structure/set up of the hot, warm and cold baths is fascinating
Where do they get the music for these old fashioned documentaries?
12:23 slaps
Edit: apparently some guy that looks vaguely like Jason Statham did it but he doesn't have any of this specific music on his channel.
Always have happy feeling when i see notifications from this channel!
Empires come, Empires go. No Empire is for ever.
No what you are witnessing is not Roman occupation. What you see is Arab occupation.
What is that huge square of land below France on this map?
I love that music
Islam really knows how to ruin great cities.
Romania Republik lie to Kartigians and Fenikians HUMAN SECRIFACE children !!! Roman Republik after empire CRUSIFACE milions humans on the cros and batle arenas many gladiators, civilians and wild animals !!! …
why do y'all keep talking like the romans were the heroes and the carthaginians were the villains?you're all regurgitating the propaganda that the romans spewed about carthage, but you conveniently forget to mention how carthage was one of the first civilizations, predating even the greeks and romans. It had the first republic and senate in ancient history. And let's not forget the massive library that the romans burned down. honestly, if it weren't for carthage, we wouldn't know the romans and greeks as we do today because they learned a heck of a lot from them. but all you want to talk about is how supposedly 'evil' carthage was and how the romans were the 'good guys' give me a break.
The idea of early Carthaginian committing child sacrifices has less currency today. The children’s graveyard was probably only that. The stories of child sacrifice was likely Roman propaganda.
34:43 It shows this was a political decision the Romans and other occupiers practiced regularly in order to appease those people they conquered by integrating the gods of the losing party and mixing it with the Romans to create a new religion. This is why the Romans used part of the Egyptian and pagans to create Christianity. Just in the same way, they took away the children sacrifices from Carthage, they did this with the Pagan religions by creating a last crucifixion as the redeeming factor to end the practice of all crucifixions.
Wonderfull it is, in how this gentleman explains it (at 24:16)…
It’s crazy we sit here, thousands of years later in the most advanced world possible so far and there is a debate raging about when killing children is acceptable, or even to be celebrated.
VERY INTERESTING!!!! WELL DONE!! CANADA
Both the collapse of Carthage and what came after it are fascinating events in ancient history. Exploring Roman Carthage reveals an intriguing story of rebuilding and change. Seeing a new city rise from the ruins of an old one teaches us a lot about how resilient human civilization is and how we can always find a way to start over. Decipher the complex web of cultural adaptation and evolution by delving into this fascinating period of history.

They just should have had someone paint "Romans go home" all over the city.

They practiced human sacrifice and used their own infants to do it. This is actually not propaganda. The extensive infant graveyards at Carthage and other cities tell the heartbreaking story.

I'm surprised that Syracuse was named as the source of the 1st Punic war—it was Messina and Mamartines that touched off the war. Also the battle of Cape Economus was a much bigger victory for the Romans, some scholars believe it may have been the largest sea battle in history.
Also not mentioned is the corvus, a Roman invention being a point and walkway to slam down on the enemy ships and hold it in place while the Roman soldiers ran across it. The grappling hook was not used by Rome until the battle of Actium.

The interpretation of the story of Dido as just supposition to tie itself to Practices elsewhere is more a display of man's desire to ignore any legends surrounding woman, but play up legends of men's greatness. Exist interpretation of History
I don't beleive the child sacrifice thing.
Something that most folks don't like to discuss, is that the Nazis used Roman tactics in battle.
Just remember, History Hits doesn’t care about you. They are the epitome of greed
The professor at time 24:00 – :44 mentioned that the Romans were simply better killers i.e. better at sticking metal things in their enemy….. Well that is so much 💩. That is under stating both the Cathaginians and Greeks notorious abilities to kill. The FACT is the Romans were able to COPY the design of the RAMMING PROW used by Carthage as well as the design of their ship they discovered after a prolonged sea battle. Rome being the GREAT INITIATOR they were able to recreate the ships as needed and this was key to the development of their fleet. Coupled with the fact that Punic wars were bloody and devastating to both populations. Rome had that advantage in population and construction capacity while Carthage's fleet doubled as war fleet and supplier to outposts…. This made the Carthagian fleet slower in the end and less able to replenish lost ships and trained crew. Of course this is just a synopsis….
