I would like to learn more about the way ancient nations fought, especially (but not restricted to) about Romans, mongols, zulus and Egyptians, I'm looking preferably for videos (as I can see formations and visualize the fight), so any documentaries/YouTube channels are welcome, podcasts that talk of this are very welcome as well. I don't mind books either, but free platforms are better. I'm looking for documentaries of battles and wars mostly, but the theory of how different factions fought, or "history-fiction" are more than welcome as well
Thanks a lot! :)
The YouTube channel Historia Civiles has a good set of videos on Roman battle tactics and strategies as well as videos on some of the famous battles of the Second Punic War. Dan Carlin's Hardcore History recently, if it may be called that, did a series on the Mongols entitled "Wrath of the Khans" that, while it serves as a good overall view of the Mongols does talk of their military structure and certain early battles. The first "episode" should contain most of what you are looking for in regard to them. The book "The Peloponnesian War" by Donald Kagan gives a very good blow-by-blow of the self-same conflict between the Spartans and the Athenians.
