Kiss me.
11
Okay.
12
Hey, Dad.
13
Hi, son.
14
Just reading the newspaper.
15
What can I do for you?
16
Well, you know how you always say Rome is the greatest civilization in the world?
17
It bloody well is.
18
Well, I was just wondering.
19
What makes us so great?
20
How did we come to be?
21
Wow.
22
My son.
23
Boy, let me take you on a journey.
24
to this side of the room the story of rome begins
25
with these beautiful baby boys going to town on some she
26
-wolf mommy milkers that's gross you're gross sorry son you're not gross i love you
27
they're called romulus and remus and
28
when they grew up in 753 bc they founded rome
29
but there was just one problem they couldn't agree on
30
which of them should be the king but they We worked it out peacefully, right?
31
Oh, heavens no. Romulus caved Remus' skull in with a shovel.
32
Here's a picture.
33
Our first king committed fratricide?
34
I know.
35
Look at his face.
36
When's the part where we become the greatest civilization, Dad?
37
Well, you see, at first, Rome was full of men.
38
I'm talking like a real sausage party.
39
You know what I mean?
40
Yes, sir.
41
So we invited some neighboring cities over for a big feast, and then we literally kidnapped all of their women.
42
Here's a picture.
43
Look at that one.
44
She's like This is messed up.
45
You're messed up.
46
Oh Sorry, sorry.
47
I'll be a better father.
48
I promise.
49
So then finally after centuries of monarchy Those tyrannical kings started getting a little too big for their britches
50
So we overthrew the Kings and established Rome as a Republic.
51
Is that when all the killing stopped?
52
Heavens no, that's when the killing surged baby.
53
We went wild and conquered the Latin League, the Samnites, the Etruscans Woo!
54
What a rush!
55
Dad, Rome seems pretty barbaric.
56
You're barbaric!
57
Oh, I forgot to tell you about the time a prophet told Saturn his son would one day overthrow him.
58
So, so Saturn literally ate his own son seconds after he was born.
59
I don't want to see a picture.
60
Here's a picture.
61
Dad!
62
Look at that!
63
That's messed up, man.
64
Are we really this uncivilized?
65
Hey, hey!
66
If we were so uncivilized, would we use communal toilets where we all fart and poo together in one big stinky, steamy, dirty toilet room?
67
Yeah, Dad.
68
We would.
69
Clean your butt with a sponge, Timulus.
70
But all these guys just used it.
71
What's wrong with your son, bro?
72
I don't want to be Roman.
73
This is so weird.
74
You're weird.
75
Sorry, you're not weird.
76
I'm sure you're probably fine.
77
The Roman Republic, a nation that, since its foundation, had been stabbing necks all the way down the Italian peninsula.
78
But this isn't the famous Roman Empire that ruled the known world.
79
Not yet anyway.
80
This is a relatively juvenile Rome, still just a regional power.
81
In 264 BC, the big daddy of the western Mediterranean was Carthage.
82
Let's rewind a bit.
83
Carthage was founded in 814 BC
84
when some Phoenicians in Tyre had a mega surplus of goods and decided to export those goods across the Mediterranean.
85
They became the dominant trading power in the region and to support their growing trade network, the Phoenicians established a number of colonies, one of which was Carthage.
86
Therefore, Carthage began its life as a Phoenician trade colony and the Carthaginians were actually Phoenicians, or if you're a Latin -speaking Roman,
87
they were Punic, hence the name of the video.
88
Over the centuries, Carthage gradually expanded and became the region's base of power.
89
Just like Rome, Carthage was a semi -democratic republic with its own senate and judiciary, but there were also some pretty hefty differences between the two.
90
While Rome was big into farming and stabbing people in the neck, the Carthaginians, on the other hand,
91
just like their Phoenician forefathers had built their power through trade and navigating the waves.
92
They went here and there, selling ivory tusks, gold, and slaves.
93
And as a result, they were rolling in it.
94
Whenever they weren't busy swimming around in their copious hordes of money, in their spare time, they also possibly enjoyed sacrificing their children to Baal,
95
the god of, let me just check my notes, ah, yes, plant fertility.
96
Oh boy, these figs aren't looking too hot.
97
Maybe if I throw my son into a burning pit of fire, they'll grow.
98
Have you tried watering them, Dad?
99
Hmm.
100
No, we'll try that second.
101
As a result of all their trading, Carthage had emerged as one of the Mediterranean's superpowers.
102
But wait, they said.
103
Rome?
104
What the heck is that?
105
Well, I know it's a pretty obscure little country that you've probably never heard of.
106
But this spunky young nation was about to upset the entire region's balance of power.
107
Initially, the two sides enjoyed relatively friendly relations, and had even signed a couple treaties.
108
But it was a relationship that was practically destined to turn sour.
109
See, Rome had a thing where they liked to aggressively expand their boundaries, often viewing such expansion as a defensive act.
110
Kind of like when you kill your neighbor, because you knew eventually they would have tried to kill you first.
111
Meanwhile, Carthage was extremely protective of its wealthy trade network.
112
So if you put a very strategically important island between them, well, two plus two equals war.
113
Tensions rose, and the two sides began viewing each other with increasing disdain.
114
The hard -working Romans looked across the water at the money -hungry Carthaginians and said, Look at those dishonest crooks.
115
Bet they've never done an honest day's work in their lives.
116
And the Carthaginians looked back and said, Look at those simple -minded brutes.
117
But they've never sacrificed a baby in their lives.
118
Yeah!
119
While war between the two superpowers seemed inevitable, the event that finally triggered it was a little unexpected.
120
The whole thing began with a few simple mad lads on a wild night out.
121
These mad lads are called the Mamertines.
122
They were Italian mercenaries employed by the tyrant of Syracuse, here.
123
But when he died, his successor said, Sorry fellas, we don't need any big burly men with sharp sticks anymore.
124
You can all go home.
125
The Mamertines, as it turned out, didn't want to go home.
126
So instead, they went to the nearby town of Masana and said, Hey man, we are but poor little buff boys without a home.
127
May we come in?
128
Aw, poor fellas.
129
Sure thing.
130
Uh -uh.
131
Just so long as you promise not to massacre all of us.
132
We promise.
133
The Mamertines then massacred all of them.
134
Well, not all of them.
135
Just the men.
136
And they stole their homes and families.
137
Ha!
138
This is my house now.
139
This is my best dad ever mug now.
140
And you guys are my new family.
141
Son?
142
Wanna go play catch with your old papa?
143
You're not my real dad!
144
Ugh, teenagers.
145
Am I right, dear?
146
You're not my real husband!
147
Ugh, I'm so trapped in this marriage.
148
Then get out!
149
No. Masana was now controlled by the Mamertines and they began raiding up and down the Syracuse coastline.
150
When the new ruler of Syracuse saw this, he wasn't happy.
151
The Syracusans began fighting back, and in response, the Mamertines said, Oh crap, they're fighting back?
152
What do we do?
153
Quick, we'll convince the Carthaginians to come and save us.
154
Oh no!
155
We're in trouble, and we need a big strong empire to come and rub our bellies.
156
Why are you saying it like that?
157
If I was a big, strong empire, I think I'd like to be seduced.
158
See?
159
It's working!
160
The Carthaginians had long dreamed of controlling all of Sicily.
161
They had been fighting Syracuse and their Greek influence on the island for centuries.
162
And now, here was a great opportunity to get one over on them.
163
So Carthage promptly answered the Mamertines' cry for help and sent a force to garrison Messana.
164
As it turned out, however, some within the ranks of the Mamertines weren't too happy with the occupying Carthaginians
165
and they sent out a second cry for help to Rome.
166
When it reached the Roman Senate, they were a little more hesitant.
167
Going to help the Mamertines ran the risk of triggering an all -out war with Carthage, and they had only just finished conquering the Italian peninsula, so they were kind of tired.
168
Plus, the Mamertines were all the way across the water.
169
They had never made a leap like that before, so you would assume that to avoid any conflict with Carthage, the exhausted Romans would probably sit this one out.
170
But you would assume wrong.
171
Rome just couldn't resist a good chance for war.
172
Why?
173
Well, there's something you gotta understand about Rome.
174
See, as a republic, they were hell -bent on preventing any one man from ever gaining too much power.
175
And so rather than having one leader, Rome had two cold consuls who shared power.
176
These consuls could also only serve for one year at a time before new consuls were elected.
177
These measures to limit the powers of the consuls were noble, but had an interesting side effect.
178
The consuls knew they had just one year to try and gain as much glory and prestige as possible, something that was very important in Roman society.
179
And the best way of gaining glory and prestige...
180
Military victory, of course.
181
The Roman political system basically ended up encouraging these consuls to go out
182
and be as aggressive as your Italian grandmother when you don't eat all the spaghetti.
183
And so the glory -seeking consuls convinced the people to vote in favor of going to Massana.
184
And in they went.
185
Upon the arrival of the Romans, the Carthaginians in the city, amongst the confusion, were forced to leave.
186
Now, in contrast to Roman aggression, the Carthaginian military had a slightly different philosophy.
187
All right, kids, listen up.
188
If you want to grow up to be Carthaginian military leaders, there's a few things you have to understand.
189
If you fail to succeed on the battlefield, that's a crucifixion.
190
Showing cowardice, that's a crucifixion.
191
Hello, sir.
192
What are you doing here?
193
Aren't you meant to be in Messana?
194
Yeah, but the Romans showed up.
195
So you just left?
196
Sure did.
197
Oh, you better believe that's a crucifixion!
198
The Roman consuls were awarded for victory, and therefore tended to be aggressive go -getters.
199
By contrast, the Carthaginian generals were brutally punished for failure, and so they tended to be more cautious and restrained.
200
This dynamic is helpful for understanding some of the crazy things that happened during the Punic Wars.
201
So, the Romans have crossed over to Messana, and now there was some red on the island.
202
Hit that panic button.
203
This turn of events was unacceptable to both Carthage and Syracuse, so the traditional enemies teamed up to kick the Romans off their island.
204
They surrounded the city and said, Hey, you jerks!
205
This isn't your island!
206
Come out of there at once!
207
Okay, we're coming!
208
See, phil you just gotta speak with authority that's what being
209
an alpha male's all about hey man oh you you brought your weapons
210
and armor no i didn't mean oh crap out the roman legions came to engage the carthaginians in battle
211
and they sent them packing with the battle of messana whether intended
212
or not by going to help the mammartines the two sides had just slipped into an all -out war.
213
With the initial Roman victory, towns across Sicily, including Syracuse, began switching allegiance, because being a winner is more fun.
214
But the Carthaginians weren't about to just give up that easily.
215
In 262 BC, they began building up their forces at Aggregentum, so the Romans, being aggressive go -getters, aggressively go -got them.
216
The Romans immediately laid siege, hoping to starve out the Carthaginian garrison.
217
However, because this was the first time Rome had been fighting outside the Italian peninsula, across the water, they struggled to supply their forces.
218
And before long, the Romans were as starving as the Carthaginians they were besieging.
219
They had to forage for food, leaving them open to ambush.
220
And when Carthaginian reinforcements arrived, creating a double siege, things got really bad.
221
Everybody starved each other for months until nobody could take it anymore and they all finally came out for battle, which Rome won.
222
Here's the report from the recent Sea Jet Aggregantum, sir.
223
We killed 30 ,000 while only suffering 7 ,000 losses?
224
That's amazing!
225
We're the best!
226
Yes, sir.
227
Oops, those are the wrong way around.
228
What?
229
We lost 30 ,000?
230
We're the worst!
231
But we won, right?
232
Yes, sir.
233
But we also got our asses kicked.
234
Yes, sir.
235
So are we the best or the worst?
236
Yes, sir.
237
The Romans won at Aggregantum because they were aggressive go -getters, and they now began eyeing up the possibility of conquering the entire island.
238
But they also suffered very heavy losses, and it was clear they couldn't sustain a campaign if they couldn't supply their troops.
239
Here's the issue.
240
Sicily was an island.
241
Islands are surrounded by water.
242
A strong navy would be vital for supplying troops and winning the war.
243
Here was Carthage's navy, and here was Rome's.
244
I think you can see the problem.
245
Historians debate just how much naval experience Rome had at this point.
246
Presumably, they must have had something to defend their shoreline.
247
But whatever it was, it would have paled in comparison to the Carthaginian juggernaut.
248
And so Rome had to figure out exactly what to do about all this water.
249
Come on, men.
250
We're not going to let some pansy candy -ass water get in the way of our glorious victory against Carthage.
251
Charge!
252
Tell my kids I love them.
253
We're going to need a bigger boat.
254
What's a boat?
255
I don't know.
256
If the Romans wanted to win this war and obtain Sicily, there was only one thing for them to do.
257
I guess we're just gonna have to go ahead and build ourselves a war fleet, aren't we? From scratch? From scratch.
258
But we don't even know how.
259
Never mind how to fight with one.
260
Don't worry, Hank.
261
We're up to the challenge.
262
Come on, guys.
263
We're Romans.
264
And Romans aren't afraid of anything.
265
And so, the Romans worked long
266
and hard trying to figure out how on earth you actually build the latest style of warship.
267
In the end, they had a bit of luck on their side.
268
A Carthaginian quinquirin ended up accidentally grounding on Italian soil.
269
The Romans found it and copied the design.
270
While the new fleet was being built, the Romans trained rowers on land.
271
And would you believe it, the Romans put together a full fighting fleet of 120 warships in just two months.
272
A staggering feat.
273
Now, I know what you're thinking, But oversimplified, if the Romans can build a war fleet from scratch in two months, then why does it take you half a year to make a video?
274
Well, my valued subscriber, I think you should shut up.
275
What the heck?
276
How on earth did the Romans learn how to build a war fleet?
277
This shouldn't be happening.
278
From what I hear, they copied the design from us, sir.
279
Well, how on earth did they get the blueprint, Carl?
280
I don't know, sir.

296
So thank you.
297
Now where were we?
298
Oh yeah.
299
The sea jet aggregateum, supply issues, and building a war fleet.
300
So now the Romans have a navy.
301
And it's time to put it to the test.
302
But how does one wage ancient naval warfare?
303
Easy.
304
All of the ships had giant bronze rams on the front, so all you had to do was outmaneuver the enemy and give him the jimmies.
305
Easy as pie.
306
And so the aggressive Romans set out for some good old -fashioned jimmy -giving.
307
The consul, Gnaeus Cornelius Scipio, set out for the town of Lipara, believing the garrison there wanted to join the Romans.
308
As he entered the harbor, however, he found himself trapped by a Carthaginian fleet.
309
And in the following skirmish, he was completely outmatched.
310
The Romans may have had a brand new fleet, but when it came to engaging in actual combat, their inexperience showed.
311
There was just something better about the Carthaginian ships.
312
The Carthaginian rowers had nicer abs.
313
The entire Carthaginian empire had been built on expert seamanship.
314
So when it came to water, the Carthaginians were better and the Romans were wetter.
315
In their initial skirmish, the Romans were beaten so badly that the consul Scipio was given a nickname, Acina.
316
And if you're wondering what that means, just drop the Ina.
317
So what were the Romans to do?
318
How could they possibly stand up to this Carthaginian superpower?
319
Well, there's something you gotta understand about the Romans.
320
Back when they found that Carthaginian ship and copied its design
321
that wasn't a one -off thing copying their enemies was as
322
roman as punishing murderers by sewing them into a leather pouch with a monkey snake
323
and rooster and then throwing them into a river
324
which is a thing they did wait what was i talking
325
about oh yeah copying their enemies many of the most famous
326
roman inventions were actually borrowed aqueducts chariot racing their gods even
327
in warfare the romans would get pierced by a sabine javelin
328
and they'd be like wow they'd get hacked to bits by an Iberian sword, and they'd be like, wow, and they'd copy the designs for themselves.
329
However, they wouldn't just copy it, they would advance it, finding ways to adapt it as perfectly as possible.
330
And in the case of naval warfare, the Romans realized if they wanted to beat the Carthaginians at their own game, they would have to to adapt.
331
The Romans excelled at combat on land, not on water.
332
But what if, they said, we could somehow turn a sea battle into a land battle?
333
Sounds crazy, right?
334
Well, they made a couple of tweaks to their warship, and look, here they come again.
335
They must love getting their asses kicked.
336
Uh, sir?
337
What's that toll thing sticking out of their ships?
338
They really are idiots.
339
Look at that thing.
340
That'll make them blow over.
341
I mean, look at...
342
Pop!
343
Pop!
344
Get your camera out.
345
Take a picture of it.
346
I mean, how stupid can you be?
347
Let's just add a big wooden tower to our ship that'll weigh us down and blow us over in the wind.
348
The Romans had built a big swinging spiked gangway, called the Corvus.
349
So when the Carthaginian ships approached to ram them, the Romans would just slam them.
350
The Carthaginians tried going around, no problem.
351
The Corvus could swivel.
352
Try going behind, the Romans would huddle to the coastline.
353
It was foolproof.
354
Those big, sexy Carthaginian rowing muscles could flex all they want, but they were no match for the Roman mind.
355
So ladies, you see, what really matters is what's on the inside.
356
Please go out with me.
357
And with that, the Romans, who had only just recently began dabbling in the art of naval combat, thanks to their ingenious Corvus,
358
had just managed to outclass the Mediterranean seafaring superpower.
359
The Carthaginians were stunned, and the general in charge of the defeated Carthaginian fleet?
360
Well, you better believe that's a crucifixion.
361
With their newfound control of the seas, the Romans could now more easily blockade coastal cities and supply their legions on land.
362
Surely, the Romans were now free to unleash their aggression all over the island.
363
Ha ha!
364
Hey, Carthaginians!
365
What are you going to do now that we're free to rampage across the island?
366
We're going to go inside these walls and close this gate.
367
Oh, come on, guys.
368
Stop messing around.
369
Come out so we can kill you.
370
No. Oh, come on.
371
No. Oh, no!
372
To counter the new Roman supremacy, the Carthaginians decided to engage in a defensive war of attrition, forcing the Romans to engage in siege after lengthy siege.
373
The war in Sicily became a long, hard, back -and -forth slug.
374
One by one, cities slowly fell as the Romans gained ground.
375
Occasionally, the Carthaginians countered and even pushed them back, only for the Romans to rebound again.
376
And whenever a city did finally fall, the Romans could delight in slaughtering the entire population and selling any survivors into slavery,
377
which was pretty standard procedure at the time.
378
In general, the campaign on land was progressing much slower than the Romans had hoped, and quite frankly, they were getting sick of it.
379
So in 256 BC, they decided that something had to change.
380
Hey everyone, my name's Marcus Atilius Regulus, and I'll be one of your consuls for this year.
381
Look, as I'm sure you all know, Sicily's being a bit of a drag.
382
Sure, I could go and spend my entire year as consul besieging one single city, But they'll never make a naked statue of me for that.
383
So here's the new plan.
384
I'm going to skip Sicily entirely, take my army, and go right for the heart of Carthage itself.
385
I'll slaughter the men, enslave all the women and children, and when I return, you'll all build a thousand naked statues of me.
386
Marcus, that women and children stuff, that seems pretty evil and barbaric.
387
No, Jim, it's perfectly normal in the ancient world.
388
Sometimes we even chop their pets in half.
389
Okay guys, looks like the Romans are coming straight for us this time.
390
And what will they do when they get here?
391
They'll kill us all.
392
They'll massacre each and every last one of us.
393
They may even chop our pets in half.
394
That's barbaric!
395
No, Rob, it's actually pretty normal for the time.
396
We'd do the same to them.
397
Who'll protect us?
398

402
and weak farmers simple -minded buffoons cowards fools Rob here thinks enslaving women and children is barbaric.
403
You're a snowflake, Rob.
404
Yes, you are.
405
The fact is, if the Romans manage to land on African soil, we're all gonna die.
406
A terrifying, hideous, unspeakably painful death.
407
Is that the end of that speech?
408
The Carthaginians had to stop the Romans from ever landing in Africa because they believed that would be the end.
409
So as the Romans were building an invasion fleet the size of which the world had never seen before, the Carthaginians were preparing an even bigger one to stop them.
410
And in 256 BC, as the Roman invasion fleet made its way south,
411
the stage was set for a humongous battle that saw 680 warships,
412
around 300 ,000 men, fighting to decide the course of the war.
413
To this day, the Battle of Cape Egnomis remains possibly the largest naval battle in human history, all the way back in ancient times.
414
So the next time your granddad tells you about the time he sank a Japanese aircraft carrier, kick him in the nuts.
415
The Romans had a lot riding on this battle.
416
They weren't just sending their warships, but transports as well.
417
Full of supply flies and horses for their invasion of Africa.
418
They therefore formed a protective wedge -like formation to punch through the long, thin Carthaginian line.
419
The Carthaginian generals, however, desperate to prevent the Romans from reaching Africa, had a plan of their own.
420
As the Roman fleet approached, the Carthaginian center feigned a retreat,
421
luring the Romans in so their outstretched flanks could envelop them and get around the Roman corvus.
422
A clever plan.
423
But with such a huge battle and so many ships crowded together, the Carthaginians struggled to maneuver as hoped.
424
And in the chaos, three separate battles emerged across the huge battle space.
425
With the number of ships limiting their ability to maneuver, the Carthaginians became sitting ducks, and all the Romans had to do was start swinging.
426
The Roman center came out on top and were then able to turn around and rescue their pinned -down flanks.
427
The Battle of Cape Egnomis was a Roman victory.

Что такое техника Shadowing?
Shadowing — это научно обоснованная техника изучения языка, изначально разработанная для подготовки профессиональных переводчиков и популяризированная полиглотом доктором Александром Аргуэльесом. Метод прост, но эффективен: вы слушаете аудио на английском от носителей языка и немедленно повторяете вслух — как тень, следующая за говорящим с задержкой в 1–2 секунды. В отличие от пассивного прослушивания или грамматических упражнений, Shadowing заставляет мозг и мышцы рта одновременно обрабатывать и воспроизводить реальные речевые паттерны. Исследования показывают, что это значительно улучшает точность произношения, интонацию, ритм, связную речь, понимание на слух и беглость речи — что делает его одним из самых эффективных методов для подготовки к IELTS Speaking и реального общения на английском.
