Archimedes vs. Rome - The (Staggering) Siege of Syracuse 213-212 BC
Click here to get Total War: Rome Remastered: https://wehy.pe/y/1/SandRhomanHistory
An amphibious army under the command of the Roman proconsul Marcus Claudius Marcellus arrived at the City of Syracuse on the island of Sicily in spring of the year 213 BC. The arrival of this Roman army marked the beginning of a struggle characterized by factionalism, amphibious operations, questionable military decision making, and intricate siege weapons created by the ancient inventor and mathematician Archimedes. The siege of Syracuse was part of the Second Punic War, a war in which Carthage and Rome struggled for supremacy in the western Mediterranean Sea: from Italy to Iberia, from North Africa to the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. Because reconstructing events from antiquity is little bit trickier compared to other time periods we covered we will provide some primary sources on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, so you can check where we got our information from. Without further ado: This is how contemporary historiography tells the story of the staggering siege of Syracuse.
