    Often hard to believe that the fate of the ancient world was fought at the dog's head.
  • To all of the viewers. I would like to apologize for not making videos with Aditu lately. I’ve been dealing with depression as of late. But the next video rest assured will be a return of me
  • Take your time my friend. Your work is certainly worth waiting for. I've been studying Roman military history for over 40 years. I understand!!
  • I forgot to mention that your videos are by far better than what used to be the History channel.
  • @Hillbilly001
    This channel is absolutely the top in cinematics. Well done. The details are amazing. Outstanding! Cheers from Tennessee
  • Great video, I love the stunning visuals and appreciate the effort with recreating such a historical & decisive battle.
  • @Maikel-dg7tq
    Magnificent! Let's see if one day we have the pleasure of seeing the final sentence between the Phalanx and the Legion, the battle of Pydna! Good job!
  • @Picatoste99
    You can tell that you really like doing this and you put a lot of desire and dedication into editing. I hope you continue surprising us Aditu, greetings!
  • This was the best recreation of the Battle of Cynoscephalae in the Rome 2 engine that I've seen so far. Good Job!
  • @Sneemaster
    This was great, I didn't know the Romans had war elephants at that time. Although it's confusing looking up close to tell who is who. Subscribed! Can't wait to see more.
  • @pattywolford
    Such vast armies. The amount of supply and strategy for such population had to be of great importance.
  • @FrontlinePros
    Legionary Titus Pollo is a hero of the 13th Legion, but look at him now!
  • The phalanx in Philip's day was a visible ghost of itself...it was always meant to be incorporated in a combination-or-arms, especially heavy cavalry, which had all but disappeared....or it would have destroyed the Romans.
  • Phillip V did everything Alexander the Great wouldn't have done. Great video by the way. I look forward to see more videos on battles set in the ancient, medieval and renaissance era.
