Something JUST happened in Italy...

The year 212 BC is HEAVY with STUFF that HAPPENED - This absolute GEM of a CHUDSLOP video goes over about HALF of it - next episode we'll go back to Sicily and Syracuse - but for now, we'll be taking care of the HAPPENINGS in ITALY and SPAIN and ROME itself. === CHAPTER SLOP === 00:00 - Rome and Its Politics 04:00 - Siege of Tarentum 14:55 - Case of The Tax Collectors 19:45 - Marcellus' Letter 24:14 - Spaindemonium 29:45 - Battle of Beneventum (2nd) 35:45 - Revolt at Thuriium 42:00 - Gracchus 46:30 - First Battle Of Capua === SEO SLOP === The Second Punic War was a Conflict between the Carthaginian Trade Empire and the Roman Republic, following their defeat in the first punic war, carthage was left wthout sicily, sardinia, corsica and most of their navy. looking west for possible new colonies, the barcid family started the punic exapnsion into the iberian peninsula. it would be from here that hannibal, the son of famed hamilcar barca, would start his war against rome, crossing the alps, destroying roman armies at Trebia, Trasimene, Cannae and eventually being beaten by Scipio Africans at the Battle of Zama - cementing Roman control of the mediterannean sea for the next several centuries.
