Carthage was a better economic and sea power than the Roman republic was, which dominated the land militarily
At least until the third punic war. Even then, Rome barely used its navy in conflicts after taking Carthage
It didnt have to anymore.
Yea
After Greece and Anatolia were taken, its biggest threats were landlocked tribes and an empire whose only coast was the Persian gulf
It was simple, their empire was more trade focused rather then.... you know. that's why they focused more on navy rather then land military.
the Parthians were sort of more nomadic, i doubt they needed an efficient navy.
Well done @Dr. WaveZey, you just advanced to level 4!
Yeah
Under the right leadership, if they only had a few more hannibals, they could’ve defeated Rome in that second war and taken them down for good, even when facing them at their best
But that potential for dominance of the Mediterranean was squandered by a leadership that didn’t know how to use the resources they were given
Parthians mostly used cavalry, which DID pose a huge threat to Rome
Even though Roman cavalry was some of the best, Parthian cavalry was simply better
Hell, the East adapted their tactics in the form of cataphracts
weren't they the first to mass use Horse archer cavalry
Yep.
Mounted archers were the Parthians’ bread and butter
Just ask Crassus
Carrhae was a massive slap in the face for Rome that made them suddenly remember people could use bows on horses
I believe Byzantine cavalry used archery?
I heard they had some sort of regiment of turkic captured troops that converted to Orthdox and became their own thing.
That would sound about right
To counter the light Muslim cavalry, both sides adapted to the other side army, the muzzies army started getting heavier. And the crusaders also started having much lighter troops since you can’t run in a desert with full plate armour for long....
It makes me wonder if the crusader states would’ve been able to hold out for longer
Well I gtg
@IliasSpook tbh they could’ve lasted much more if Guy of lusignan wasn’t that retarded to March out of Jerusalem to fall for Salahdin trap.
@Deleted User u still here?
@Deleted User EQ is relatively a new thing and is being brought up and becoming more famous slowly.
I encourage you to do more research about it
and about the history, the vikings used to sell Anglos and other eastern europeans they captured to the moors. its funny how Europeans make fun of West africans selling their fellow africans while it had also happened between the europeans but ofc u should hide the history.
Spartans > vikings
For sure
Imagine thinking Vikings are cool
>inb4 vargfags appear
Oh and also
I have this thing
@Dr. WaveZey you haven't proven EQ superior. Anglo Saxons ultimately defeated the Danes, also the Danes were a nearly identical people asides from religion at the time and Ireland was a way bigger hub of slavery than England. At the time we still were the superior civilization.
According to some accounts, in the beginning of the 13th century King John of England (1167–1216) sent an embassy to the Almohad Sultan Muhammad al-Nasir (1199–1213), requesting military support and an alliance against France.[1] At home, King John was faced with a dire situation, in which his Barons revolted against him, he had been excommunicated by the Pope, and France was threatening to invade. The embassy of three was led by Bishop Roger, and King John supposedly offered to convert to Islam and pay a tribute to al-Nasir in exchange for his help. Al-Nasir apparently dismissed the proposal.[2]
@Deleted User LMFAO, England superior civilisation my arse.
Just wait
@Dr. WaveZey King John was the worst king ever. In all of human history
