Paullus celebrated one of the most spectacular triumphs in all of Roman history and brought home a truly ludicrous amount of loot. His crowning achievement was having the Macedonian King walk in his triumph, which many contemporaries and modern scholars see as the high-point of the Middle Republic. He was also the father of Scipio Aemelianus, the Roman general who burned Carthage to the ground and the son of the Roman consul, Aemilius Paullus, who died at the battle of Cannae.

Epic. Really enjoyed that. That first Phalanx push must've looked terrifying 😅

The whole thing of the Macedonian Wars kicked off during the height of the Second Punic War between Carthage & Rome. This huge war had Rome on the ropes and Macedon decided to side with Carthage. Rome never forgot that.

18:03 charged by elephant from the rear... now that's GGWP

As I said before thumbs up for this video! Great job! I am Greek from this region and I know a lot about this battle.

Awesome video, mate 🔥 Love the map details and how you show the army movements in real time. You did a fantastic job 👍

the Macedonians by this stage no longer had access to enough cavalry to make the phalanx effective, the use of 16 by 16 formations in 256 man battalions and the Sarissa should be used to pinion enemy formations in place the phalangite's not on the front line would place their sarissa's which were 18 foot in length on the enemy heads shields and shoulders , preventing them from turning and holding them in place while the rear lines would hold theirs at a 45 degree angle to prevent missile fire hitting the troops, the cavalry was supposed to be used to actually break enemy formations but by this stage Macedon just couldn't field enough, initially in this battle the Macedonians were winning but when the Romans withdrew to more uneven ground the phalanxe followed and lost to compactness of their units which allowed the Romans to close the distance imposed by the 18 foot sarissa's , from that the battle was lost, if the Macedons had enough heavy cavalry they would have swept the field, the Diadochi wars had depleted their stock to the point it was primarily cheaper light cavalry that they fielded

Nice. I'd like to point out a mistake, the Antigonid dynasty originated from Antigonus the first, who was Alexander's general. Alexander himself was a member of the Argead dynasty.

Great video, I like the camera angles you always use, it feels like a war movie

This is why we always stagger the line, soldiers. So we don't get enveloped.

Well put together enjoyed watching.

Those cinematic camera angles of Roman and Macedonian soldiers being lopped apart never ceases to amuse me😈! For future videos, you should do the Battle of Kadesh (1274 B.C.E.) and Suppiluliuma vs. Tausret (non-historical) for Pharaoh, the Battle of Watling Street (61 C.E.) and Kush vs. Pergamon (non-historical) for Rome II, and the Siege of Milan (452 C.E.) and Burgundians vs. Ebdanians (non-historical) for Attila. Keep up the excellent work churning out more fantastic cinematic videos such as these👍😁!

The Battle near Pydna took place on 22 June 168 BC between Rome and Macedon. The battle was a victory of the Roman legion's manipular system's flexibility over the Macedonian phalanx's rigidity. Rome-vs-Macedon wars ((214-205 BC), (200-196 BC), (172-168 BC), (150-148 BC)).

Love this. Great oratory with cool total war docudrama feel

Wonderful video ! Nicely edited ;) Would you mind sharing your graphic preset and/or your GEM settings ? Everything is maxed out on my game but it looks nothing like this… Thanks !

Impressive as always.!

lmao i just started watching your video and was playing war thunder 5 secs before, great video

nice video thx

This is so cool!!! Can you make the samnite wars or the battle of Actium next?

Really great video

How did you recreate this? custom 4v4 with 4 players coordinated?

Can you give me the name of the mod for massive battle please? I would like play and see if my pc can handle this.

The Hellenistic kingdoms fought a lot different to way Alexander did. To Alexander the Phalanx was nothing but a pinning tool, to hold the enemy in place while using his mobile and auxiliary units to attack the flanks and rear. By the time the kingdoms went against Rome the phalanx became the main arm and was used more offensively. It was more heavier and immobile. It’s hard to say if the Romans using its system at the time would have fared against Alexander’s combined arms.

Are you using Adobe After effect for animating tactical formations?

Esta batalla estuvo dirigida por Perseo de forma pèsima como se v en el video si hubiera estado Pirro otra batalla se hubiera apreciado no se el resultado pero ...

amazing

I've never seen or heard of a phalanx deployed in a triple line before, and I don't see the point. Was this normal?

Excellent work. May I ask whether you had to pay for the rights for the battle images taken from Rome 2 Total War?

Epic 👋

Прекрасная подача материала и визуал и текст и речь, очень интересно

How do you have massive units like that? is this mod or pack file manager?

what Rome 2 mods are being used? The units look more historically accurate here

Cinematics were good, and the script dramatic, but the commentary audio stereo imaging was a bit inconsistent !? (eg at 1:03 the cut mid-sentence just before "effectively", and numerous others are distracting). Was interesting and enjoyable overall !

wow no lags?

Looking for historical verification that Romans of that period used only a single rider, with no "castle" atop. 40 of likely smaller N. African decent or an extinct Asian specie In checking further, it seems that battle of Pydna had 22 Elephants against the Greeks /And 2 to six riders, depending on size of animal and equipment. Up to 600 pounds (not a lot)

Would Be great if it was Faster Paced ! Please!!!

What game is this plss

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

What mods did you use in this?

Persons was no Alexander.

Eu achava que Roma não usava 🐘 pra guerra pôr serem descontrolados em batalha 🤔

А сколько римлян погибло в той битве?

Саша Македонский совершил ошибку. Не рассмотрел Римскую империю и не дал команду её раздавить.

The Romans are only hill campers 🤣

as well this video is made. It has an annoying AI voice. Dude, why not using your own voice? Using a game for the on screen action is always nice. But the tactical map was also clumsy made. It's still better than the netflix Alexander show. But that's not hard to be honest.

total war: rome 2

Фаланга в 3 ряда, вы че пьяные, какой дурак делал?

add after add, unwatchable

Alexanders legacy is a movie and some memes
