Hello Paralus!! So good to hear from you! I dont think think you remember me but I posted a few posts many years ago. Sorry for not responding to you reply, I have not been very active here. Say, I had a question about Magnesia, that battle bothers me much. 1. What went wrong there? What should Anti...

Thank you, Alexias. But I was wondering how Alex would fare against the roman army at Cannae?

I watched a documentary on Hannibal vs Rome at Cannae. An absolute perfect victory there. What tactics would Alexander use if we timeswapped him? If memory serves me right (I could be deadwrong here) Hannibal knew a lot of his forces were not on par with the roman legionnaires, thus he had to device...

I am so saddened to hear this.I know I had wonderful correspondence with them in my past threads many years ago. I guess they now have all the answers to everything they ever wanted to know about Alexander, now that they entered the heavenly realm

Thank you for your reply! I will check the links. Speaking of members, where are Paralus, Xenophon and Agesilaos?

Hi thanks! What do you mean? Have ppl left this forum?

So, I’ve recently been delving into the world of roman intervention in the greek world, and all the conflicts/battles that accompanied it. I know of the disastrous macedonian defeats like Cynoscephalae, Pydna, Magnesia etc. Could someone please provide battles the macedonians/Seleucids/etc actually ...

It was absolutely atrocious that they had him wear a Pharao’s hat during the battle of Gaugamela. Beyond insane.

Ok, so I watched the whole of the Netflix series on Alex and I’m shocked. Absolutely disastrous turdshow. Anyone seen it? He wore basically the same armour throughout the series 😂 And they didnt get anything right with regard to his army, uniforms, tactics, formations. Where were the famous sarrisas...

Thanks for your answer! I just find it strange that they seem obsessed with denying Alexander’s victory or even Porus’s existence!! They always dwell on the absence of any mention of the battle in indian sources. That seems to be their triumphant card, well at least in their own view. Again, they sa...

Ok, so I watched a few Alexander documentaries on youtube, but my mood quickly soured upon viewing the other videos made by conspiracy theorists people living in India. These people will not let up! They fervently propose that not only did Alexander lose against Porus, but Porus also never existed!!...

Thanks Alexias! I am so grateful! I believe this is the one:)

I am not sure about Ptolemy being the negotiator???

Thanks Alexias!

But there was another article on my mind. It was a fictional account of how Ptolemy made terms with the romans to not advance any further than south of Italy or something like that..

Do you know of that one? I am looking for it.

Hey

Just wanted to know if someone has the link to the article about how if Ptolemy reached Italy, he would have come to an agreement with Rome and split Italy in two. Interesting fiction, but I can't seem to find it..

Exactly!! and so everyone would agree, Paralus... except for silly and daft people...

Thank you for your expertise and graciousness for participating in this thread.
