Hello and welcome to our channel. We are two friends who decided to take the plunge and turn their endless historical based discussions and debates into short animated videos covering different events and periods throughout history, from ancient times up to WW2.
The main idea behind the videos is to create visual representations of an event as depicted in primary ancient sources, or at least as close as possible.
All videos are made using animation software, with no games or game engines involved.

Only one legion when he left the galia to get Italy in three months, amazing
Alexander would never do such rookie mistake
Imagine if this was the programming on the History Channel. Wouldn't even need to change the graphics and it'd be one of their most successful shows.
I love the animation/the way you made this video i watched it the same day it came out glad to see its still good in 2024 make more like thjs ❤
BIG TIME LOSS **
THAT BLOWS, THEYRE COVER *
SCOUTS NOT SUPPOSED TO FIGHT, BUT REPORT * GENERAL *
HELLO, THIS IS HISTORY, WHY DO YOU FLASH THE SPECS, IN SUCH A HURRY ?
In the future please narrate as a lot of people watch on phones. We don't come here to read a video. Thanks though this would have been a great video if there had been narration
I like the map
great channel brother
So the Romans also had superior numbers, interesting
Odé to the artémis temple (city of éphése)
13:16 cool
The entire time I cant help but thinking, and I'm sure the soldiers too, WHERE IS POMPEY.
ROMA

idk
What happen(!) to your tEaM?
Dude your videos are awesome please make more!!!
ancient no doubt had the toughest generations
Masterful content and excellent 3D renderings. Very historically accurate. Subscribed!
thank you :)
@@Syntagmawill you be uploading a video soon? Your videos are so good
Yeah your videos are the BEST. Even better than large documentaries with big budgets@@Syntagma
Syntagma we miss you! No better creator for ancient history! Come back when you can :)
Why aren't you making more videos?
Syntagma its been while since your last uploads,i keep checking your channel to see if you've drop anything!! I hope your coming back soon i love your channel...your fan from Kurdistan Peace.
Filippo fece errore di attaccare subito. Con tutta la falange aveva possibilità di respingere romani.
One has to add that Flamininus was a superb general, while Phillipus was mediocre.
If Philip didn't attack, instead defend the hill, he might win.
Yakama nation tribal member, thanks 🙏 no mistake in life Results ONLY you tube other WISE';😮😊
The video would have been much better with audio narration.
Very high quality reenactment of this siege. Both the Intel and animation are superior to other UA-cam channels documenting Julius Caesar's Civil War. ⚔️
Welp, if anybody else is reading the webnovel "herald of steel", I think I know where the inspiration for the "battle of sissilpond ridge" comes from... pretty cool that the author very closely mirrored the events of this battle, given that both are battles of a legion vs a phalanx.
By far, the best combination of storytelling and animation depicting a battle in Caesar's Civil War. You have outshined even Kings & Generals and HistoryMarche. ⚔️
Great music. What's the name of this composition? Wanna find...
BIEN
at first glance i thought it was a cpu
You are back….! My lord!
AVE XXI! AVE LG! AVE XII! AVE PG! AVE ROMA!!!!
Great video.
Interesting and good to see you back 👍🏻
I don’t think they need tank spikes at this point in time😂
I forget what the larger version is called, but it’s likely a caltrop or Tribulus as the Romans called it. It’s an area denial weapon to use against cavalry. It was most effective against camels, as they have much softer hooves than horses. Since these camps sometimes didn’t have gates, they needed a way of channeling enemies into a smaller area as a force multiplier. This would later evolve into the Frisian Horse and eventually the Czech Hedgehog you refer to.
Those are called "sudis"; they were wooden stakes roughly in the shape of elongated spiked wedges that could be arranged in a variety of shapes, ranging from stakes fixed into the ground, to improvised palisades, to chevals de frise, to giant caltrops like the ones you saw in the video. Each legionary carried 2-3 of them with him on the march and more could be easily made on the spot if needed- and it's easy to see why, they are cheap and versatile
Nice to have you back!
thanks man :)
You’ve finally returned. Welcome back my dude.
thanks, yeap, slowly getting the pace back :)
@@Syntagma So happy you're back
Nice one didnt know that.
в total war на максимальной сложности такая стратегия могла бы и не сработать

Lorica segmentata?
Roman Army was a formidable machinery.
