I had it on in the background, saw a black Hannibal, and immediately changed channels.
Evan Butler
Black Hannibal AND black Carthaginian officers.
CARTHAGE IS IN AFRICA THEREFORE IT IS BLACK. DUH.
Brayden Howard
honestly this pretty racist
Andrew Perry
History Channel should be keeping things as accurate as possible, trying to shove action shit or diversity bucks does nothing but sully the end-product into some "slightly" ahistorical documentary, which is simply unacceptable for a channel that supposedly prides itself on historical accuracy.
I just saw a man throw a goddamn straight sword at a cavalryman.
It's a terrible start to a series based around barbarians.
Hunter Rivera
Oh, and why are they saying Hannibal is a barbarian? Carthage was a mercantile empire considered Rome's equal for a hundred years.
Why is History Channel treating Carthage like a barbarian kingdom? They're implying Carthage were barbarians? Are they pandering to the idiotic masses? Why? Isn't the point of a documentary not to pander but to teach?
Owen Phillips
they've been telling Nazi/WW2 stuff and a whole bunch of other crap for so long they forgot how to teach a decent lesson
Alexander Barnes
>It was the barbarians who opposed slavery. They were the earliest freedom fighters.
How true is this?
Nolan Sanders
those barbarians were mostly white
so pretty true
Brody Morris
Didn't Carthage practice slavery?
Benjamin Miller
>freedom fighters
Freedom to burn Italic and Greek cities and slaughter thousands, sure. Fuckers needed to be taught a lesson in civility.
Aiden Murphy
how different was being a slave from an average person?
Juan Scott
>Lusitanians are depicted as white and Celtic
Didn't see that coming DESU.
Carter Lewis
It was kinda like being a normal peasant, only you had a master that took most of your earnings was expected to feed you.
The plebs begging for scraps at the house of a patrician were hardly better than slaves.
Thomas Fisher
Depends on the slavery.
In some applications, slaves would almost always die before raising children of their own, so you had to keep bringing new slaves into the industry.
Roman asbestos mines were a good example. Nobody retired from those.
In other applications, it wasn't that different from being any other kind of poorfag.
Camden Mitchell
Barbarian = not Roman.
Aaron Johnson

Brody Phillips
>pranks that went to far
John Rogers
>Black people clamoring to claim heritage with literal Baby Killers
Julian Martin
>believing Roman shitposts
William Brooks
>Baby killers
You mean like every civilization that ever marched into an unarmed enemy village?
Men got the sword.
Women got the D.
Baby got the knife.
That's the way of strife.
Mason Sullivan
>Implying it was a shitpost
It wasn't used as any kind of propaganda, like, "CARTHAGE MUST BE DESTROYED BECAUSE IT KILLS BABIES", it was just a matter of fact statement.

Julian Campbell
Im pretty sure there was roman propaganda that said the punics sacrificed infants religiously.
Alexander Kelly
>that shoddy prop helmet
Looks like a knight Halloween costume I wore as a child.
Carter Myers
Barbarian=not greek
Xavier Fisher
NEXT WEEK ON "CARTHAGE: SECRET NAZI ANCESTORS"
Dominic Brooks
>Ancient Israelites say that the Canaanites sacrifice children
>Romans say that Canaanite derivatives sacrifice children
>It's gotta just be propaganda, you guys, nobody sacrifices children
Carter Davis
The Romans considered themselves honorary Greeks and coopted the term.
But basically ever group of people has its word for Filthy foreigner, like Gaijin or Goy
Juan Lee
this shit is so retarded. i thought it was a documentary but it's some horrible low budget LARPing drama
and "rome vs. carthage" is now "white people vs. black people" because that's the only thing americans understand
Alexander Cox
At least we're going to see Carthage burn and Hannibal commit suicide right?
Nicholas Bennett
I won't subject myself to that shitty viking soap opera so why would I watch this drivel?
Ian Cox
I thought that too. Looks like legitimate shit you get at a costume place.
Bentley Parker
The Byzantines were the "honorary Greeks." The Romans are more of just an expansion of Greek culture until they went full retard and took more land than possible to hold.
Andrew Ortiz
Phoenician cult to Moloch, or roman propaganda as says
Parker Hall
>The Byzantines were the "honorary Greeks
They were literal Greeks
Xavier Nelson
Byzantines are literal greeks who had been romanized, Romans were etruscanized latins with a raging hardon for greece
Connor Williams
carthage practiced slavery abd human sacrifice
James Morgan
what's up with the aesthetics for the roman borders and troop movements
Jaxon Lopez
>Ay yo we releazd our wite slaves n shiet
Jackson Carter
