Europa Barbarorum Battle #6: Antiochus III - Battle on the River Arius
Europa Barbarorum Battle #6: Antiochus III - Battle on the River Arius
If you're thinking about looking for information about this battle on Wikipedia, don't. Unless there's a second river called Arius (Areios) in Parthia, then the Wiki entry is wrong. Try this instead: wildfiregames.com This video talks about Antiochus the Great and a battle in 209 BC against the ruler of Baktria, Euthydemus, on his road of conquest across Asia. The battle isn't too hard since the AI has been scripted to run into my phalanx (although amazingly they broke through my centre and left phalanx), so the video is a bit more of a historical spot. 3:30 is the end of the initial skirmish and there's a historical background talk while I wait for the Baktrians. 6:57 I talk a bit about why Antiochus was given the designation of "Great". 9:40 is the start of the main action.

true story of hannibal the great part 2
true story of hannibal the great part 2
One of history's greatest military leaders, at age nine Hannibal accompanied his father Hamilcar Barca on the Carthaginian expedition to conquer Spain. Before embarking, the boy vowed eternal hatred for Rome, his people's bitter rival. Twenty years later, in 218 BC, he left New Carthage (now Cartagena, Spain) to wage war on "The Eternal City" with an army of about 40000, including cavalry and elephants. After crossing the Pyrenees and Rhone River, he traversed the Alps while beset by snowstorms, landslides, and hostile mountain tribes. This 2-hour special brings to life the story of the Carthaginian general who struck fear in all Roman hearts and wreaked havoc with his masterful military tactics, bringing the mighty Roman Republic to the brink of ruin. Archaeologists, historians, and military experts guide us through ancient Carthage and give insight into his military strategy up to defeat at Zama in 203 BC. Hannibal (Punic Hanniba'al חניבעל, Ba'al is my grace, or Ba'al has given me grace), son of Hamilcar Barca (247 BC -- ca. 183 BC,short form Hannibal) was a Carthaginian military commander and tactician, later also working in other professions, who is popularly credited as one of the finest commanders in history. He lived during a period of tension in the Mediterranean, when Rome (then the Roman Republic) established its supremacy over other great powers such as Carthage, Macedon, Syracuse, and the Seleucid empire. He is one of the best-known Carthaginian commanders <b>...</b>

Ares Mythologic Roman Triarius in 70mm scale
Ares Mythologic Roman Triarius in 70mm scale
"Res ad triarios rediit!" I finally found this figure in a online shop and i really enjoyed the assembly and painting of this figure. It is a white metal figure from Ares Mythologic (my 2nd one from this manufacturer) and i´m very pleased with this kit. The quality and details are superb and i love the agressive facial expression of the figure. I painted the figure with acrylic paints from Revell and Lifecolor, some lights and shadows were made with oil paints. I made the base on my own, using earth and herbage from my garden. The grass is from the manufactuer "Fredericus Rex". The Triarius wears a Etruscan-Corinthian helmet, mail armour, a heavy scutum shield and a hasta lance. Triarii (Singular: Triarius) were one of the elements of the early Roman military Manipular legions of the early Roman Republic (509 BC -- 107 BC). They were the oldest and among the wealthiest men in the army, and could afford good quality equipment. They wore heavy metal armour and carried large shields, their usual position being the third battle line. During the Camillan era, they fought in a shallow phalanx formation, supported by light troops. In most battles triarii were not used because the lighter troops usually defeated the enemy before the triarii were committed to the battle. They were meant to be used as a decisive force in the battle, thus prompting an old Roman saying: 'Going to the triarii' (res ad triarios venit), which meant carrying on to the bitter end. They were eventually <b>...</b>

Constantine Cavafy: Poem 50: Orophernes
Constantine Cavafy: Poem 50: Orophernes
Orophernes II was the son of Ariarathes IV king of Cappadocia and his wife Antiochis, daughter of Antiochus III 'the Great' of Syria. His brother Mithridates became Ariarathes V when he succeeded their father in 163 BC. The two brothers were opposed and the Roman Senate insisted that they split the kingdom in half. Ariarathes later gained the upper hand and Orophanes was exiled. It's all a bit messy, but that's the outline to the poem. Cappadocia meant different things at different times in history, but think north-east Turkey, as on the map after the titles. The music is from the CD 'Immortal Egypt' by Phil Thornton and Hossam Ramzy. Orophernes Handsome profile, refined features -- Orophernes' face on a four drachma coin. He seems to be smiling. Exiled from his father's palace in Cappadocia as a youngster he grew up in Ionia abandoned among foreign people. Did I say abandoned? My god! Those idyllic evenings in Ionia, those luminous nights when fearlessly and like a native Greek he indulged in every sort of sensual pleasure. Always Asian, with eastern eyes and features, he learnt the speech and ways of Greece; dressed like them; flaunted turquoise jewellery; perfumed himself with jasmine-scented oils. Orophernes Orophernes he far exceeds in beauty the exquisite Ionian youth. Syria took Cappadocia, made Orophernes king. Son of kings and to the manner born he embraced his new-found role not wisely but too well; amassed much gold and silver; piled room on room with riches <b>...</b>

Ancient Rome XV - Two Macedonian Wars and a Syrian War
Ancient Rome XV - Two Macedonian Wars and a Syrian War
This is the fifteenth ofmany chapters in History with a Twist of Lime's look on "The Historical History of Ancient Rome." This chapter peeks at three conflicts Rome was engaged in with the remnants of Alexander the Great's old empire in the late third and early second centuries BC. This includes the First Macedonian War (215-205 BC), where Philip V of Macedon allies with Carthage during the Second Punic War, and Rome merely goes and stirs up trouble within Macedon's borders in order to keep them occupied and away from Hannibal. This is followed up by Rome taking revenge in the Second Macedonian War (200-197 BC) and seemingly liberating Greece from Macedonian rule. The outcome of this conflict encourages King Antiochus III of the Seleucid Empire to invade and attempt to take Greece for himself, triggering the Syrian War (192-190 BC, also known as the Roman-Syrian War, the Seleucid War, or the War of Antiochus III). This fight sets up a short-lived peace with Macedon that would crumble with the death of Philip V. As this is one of many chapters being produced over this project, I would invite you to watch the other chapters dealing with the history of Ancient Rome.
