How did Rome Expand into Greece and Hispania? - History of the Roman Empire - Part 5

For Rome, its decades-long rivalry with the Carthaginian Empire was a significant distraction. The outbreak of the three Punic Wars marked an attention-grabbing period of Roman history that at times even overshadowed the contemporary events outside of the Carthaginian-Roman conflict. However, the Punic Wars were far from the only notable events in Rome’s past during the time they raged on, and they weren’t even the only wars that Rome faced throughout the era. So now, let’s take a look through what happened in Rome’s history without Carthage…

The generation that defeated Hannibal and conquered Greece just might be the greatest generation Rome ever had but it has strong competition through the ages.

0:36 I’m sad that all history channels don’t include Illyrian Kindoms territories. For all who don’t know Rome invaded Illyrian kingdom of Ardiaei.

"...And once we conquer Sicily, we'll go after the Roman tribes. They're such good fighters. We'll have a hard time beating them, but I'm sure they'll serve us well in the future..."
*Alexander explaining his plans of conquest to the dying Hephaestion*

I love stories from the late Republic. I feel like this is a really overlooked portion of Roman history. Thanks for covering this!

2:12 I swear, that looked so much like Gigachad.

This is true, you look into the Punic wars and the romans control most of Italy, then by the end you realise that not only do they control Africa and Iberia but they also happened to have acquired Greece, parts of Illyria and cisalpine Gaul. The Punic wars were impressive enough, despite doing all the rest during their breaks

They defeated Carthage, Macedonias and Sellucids in the same time .. what an empire ♥️

As a Hispanic, I learned a lot about the Roman Empire. It's incredible to note that we still have roots attached to this formal power. There's provinces like Hispania Baetica, Hispania Lusitania, Hispania Tarraconensis, Gallia Narbonensis, Gallia Aquitania, Gallia Lugdunensis, Gallia Belgica, Raetia, Noricum, Germania Superior, Germania Inferior, and Britannia.

Pergamon is highly underrated when it comes to the help they offered to rome against other greek states

[TomasArepo]

Perfect video at a perfect timing, great quality and information

[theawesomeman]

Give Rome credit, they took on the entire Meditareanean and won despite being outnumbered numerically and logistically.

[SweetChicagoGator]

With 5 major country battles, quite amazing how Rome was still able to endure, conquer, and expand ! 🤠

Finally part5! been waiting for this one

[waynedawson]

The video makes it seem Rome was reluctant to intervene in Greece but Rome was definitely interested in expanding into Greece and Anatolia and defending their allies was just an excuse to invade. The Macedonian King Perseus tried to avoid war with Rome by playing nice with the Greek states and Rome decided to force a war by demanding Macedon to give up Thessaly that had been a part of Macedon for centuries, knowing Macedon would never willingly do so. When their former ally the Aetolian league got sick of Roman presence in Greece they were crushed and annexed by Rome. Rome would use the same excuse of helping local allies to conquer the rest of its territories in 'self-defense'.

Rome may have conquered Greece militarily but Greece ended up conquering Rome culturally.

[angelosdaresis]

PHILIP V, King of Macedon (reigned 221 to 179 BC):
"For on many occasions when I AND THE OTHER GREEKS sent embassies to you begging you to remove from your statutes the law empowering you to get booty from booty, you replied that you would rather remove Aetolia from Aetolia than that law."  
[Polyvius, 18.4.8]

[TetsuShima]

The Romans avenged the city of Troy when they conquered Greece, as the founders of Rome (Romulus and Remus) were descendants of a trojan man named Aeneas, who fled from the destruction of the ancient city by the greeks. It was needed a thousand years, but a win is a win
