🚩On the surface it is a minor battle in the Peloponnesian war, but in fact it was quite significant. It, arguably, turned the tide of the war and marked the first time that a written record was made of a deliberate use of a cavalry reserve in the heat of the battle.

🚩I've wanted to cover Battle of Delium for some time, and I finally got the time to do it. On the surface it is a minor battle in the Peloponnesian war, but in fact it was quite significant. It, arguably, turned the tide of the war and marked the first time that a written record was made of a deliberate use of a cavalry reserve in the heat of the battle.
Do more of these please!!! I’m so interested in the time period
I used my rhetoric to try and convince the policeman to not give me a ticket. This was useless.
In reality the Athenian made excellent 👌 decisions.
They were in hostile territory and outnumbered.
Remember, Athens didn't lose for another 20 years.
The Birds effect at around 9:43 is a beautiful touch.
What i like more about this channel apart from the awesome detailed videos is the fact that they read the comments and reply…they care about their followers not like some who only do it for the money
👍 HistoryMarche Quality as usual.
I just love your content!
Country road take me home . . . .
Man, HistoryMarche should get the voice of the year award. He could end in some great Radio station.
One day we should make "top stupid reaction of troops in battle"
aaaaaah been waiting for this, AC Odyssey Remastered :))))
