The Pyrrhic War July 26, 2020 Vol. 43 No. 30 1375 W. Old Hickory Boulevard - Nashville, Tennessee 37207-1499 615.865.6979 ~ News Update 615.860.0521 www.NorthsideNashville.com ~ [email protected] The Pyrrhic War The term “Pyrrhic victory” is named for the ancient ruler of Epirus, King Pyrrhus, who went down in history for winning a string of major battles against Rome and Carthage but still losing the war he was fighting. The conflict, known as the Pyrrhic War, began in 281 BCE when the 38-year-old monarch from western Greece offered to lend his support to Tarentum, a city-state in southern Italy at odds with the burgeoning Roman republic. Pyrrhus’ interest in protecting the people of Tarentum was based on more than mere altruism — by thrashing Rome and saving small city, the monarch would gain a foothold in Italy from which he could realize his own imperial ambitions. The following year, the would-be emperor crossed the Adriatic with an army of 25,000 men and a secret weapon: 20 war elephants on loan from Ptolemy II of Egypt. Pyrrhus sent word to the Romans that he was in Italy with his army to mediate the dispute with Tarentum. Rome refused all invitations to the peace table and instead attacked with 30,000 men. The two armies met at Heraclea, just west of Tarentum. The ensuing battle saw Greek phalanx and Roman legion fight each other to a bloody stalemate. At one point, fearing for his safety, Pyrrhus traded his distinctive royal battle armor for the less conspicuous panoply of one of his lieutenants. It was a fortuitous decision. The Romans, assumed the figure in the gilded breastplate was the enemy king and slew the aide. Believing their rule was dead, the Epirians panicked. Only by stripping off his helmet and riding along the Greek lines was Pyrrhus able to restore his soldiers’ confidence. With the Romans pressing the advantage, the Hellenic monarch finally unleashed his elephants. The legions and their supporting cavalry were reportedly terrified by the enormous creatures, the likes of which they had never seen, and stampeded from the field. Some estimates peg the Roman losses at 15,000. The triumphant Greeks sustained as many as 11,000 dead and wounded. Although the defeat was a stinging one for Rome, to the victorious Pyrrhus who was operating far from his homeland, the losses were far more devastating. In fact, the king was suddenly so short handed, his bid to march on Rome itself would have to be abandoned. Two years later, the Greek ruler rebuilt his army using Macedonian troops and other units from the Ionian Peninsula. With 40,000 men under his command, Pyrrhus set out again to conquer Italy. A two-day battle ensued at Asculum. Once more, the elephants broke up the Roman line and sent the legions scurrying. Rome left 8,000 dead or wounded behind. The Greek casualties were much lighter at nearly 4,000. Yet the hard-fought battle had again exhausted Pyrrhus. “One more victory like that and we’re finished,” he famously declared. Unable to press on, the Greek king petitioned Rome for a ceasefire. They refused. He next sought an alliance with Carthage but was again rebuffed. Worse, both the Romans and Carthaginians actually joined forces against the Epirian ruler. Unable to maintain his territories in Italy, Pyrrhus set out instead to snatch new lands on Sicily. After winning repeatedly against the Carthaginians there, the cost of his victories once more proved too great — Pyrrhus withdrew. A final gambit in 275 BCE saw the Greek ruler with 20,000 remaining troops suffer humiliation at Maleventum. Pyrrhus soon quit Italy entirely with small a fraction of the men he had set out with years earlier. He died three years later in Greece after being struck on the head by a terra cotta roofing tile. While Pyrrhus had won almost all of his battles against the Rome and Carthage, he gained nothing in more than six years of war. Fruitless victories from then on would bear his name.

  • A History of the Pyrrhic War
    A History of the Pyrrhic War A History of the Pyrrhic War explores the multi-polar nature of a conflict that involved the Romans, peoples of Italy, western Greeks, and Carthaginians during Pyrrhus’ western campaign in the early third century BCE. The war occurred nearly a century before the first historical writings in Rome, resulting in a malleable narrative that emphasized the moral virtues of the Romans, transformed Pyrrhus into a figure that resembled Alexander the Great, disparaged the degeneracy of the Greeks, and demonstrated the mal- icious intent of the Carthaginians. Kent demonstrates the way events were shaped by later Roman generations to transform the complex geopolitical realities of the Pyrrhic War into a one-dimensional duel between themselves and Pyrrhus that anticipated their rise to greatness. This book analyzes the Pyrrhic War through consideration of geopolitical context as well as how later Roman writers remembered the conflict. The focus of the war is taken off Pyrrhus as an individual and shifted towards evaluating the multifaceted interactions of the peoples of Italy and Sicily. A History of the Pyrrhic War is a fundamental resource for academic and learned general readers who have an interest in the interaction of developing imperial powers with their neighbors and how those events shaped the per- ceptions of later generations. It will be of interest not only to students of Roman history, but also to anyone working on historiography in any period. Patrick Alan Kent is an Adjunct Professor at Jackson and Mid-Michigan Colleges in Michigan, USA. His research interests include the development of Roman relations with the peoples of Italy in the fourth and third centuries BCE.

  • Contesting the Greatness of Alexander the Great: the Representation of Alexander in the Histories of Polybius and Livy
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: CONTESTING THE GREATNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE REPRESENTATION OF ALEXANDER IN THE HISTORIES OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY Nikolaus Leo Overtoom, Master of Arts, 2011 Directed By: Professor Arthur M. Eckstein, Department of History By investigating the works of Polybius and Livy, we can discuss an important aspect of the impact of Alexander upon the reputation and image of Rome. Because of the subject of their histories and the political atmosphere in which they were writing - these authors, despite their generally positive opinions of Alexander, ultimately created scenarios where they portrayed the Romans as superior to the Macedonian king. This study has five primary goals: to produce a commentary on the various Alexander passages found in Polybius’ and Livy’s histories; to establish the generally positive opinion of Alexander held by these two writers; to illustrate that a noticeable theme of their works is the ongoing comparison between Alexander and Rome; to demonstrate Polybius’ and Livy’s belief in Roman superiority, even over Alexander; and finally to create an understanding of how this motif influences their greater narratives and alters our appreciation of their works. CONTESTING THE GREATNESS OF ALEXANDER THE GREAT: THE REPRESENTATION OF ALEXANDER IN THE HISTORIES OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY By Nikolaus Leo Overtoom Thesis submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Maryland, College Park, in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts 2011 Advisory Committee: Professor Arthur M.

  • Don't Be a Pyrrhus
    Legal Insight Attorneys at Law Don’t Be a Pyrrhus – 5 Steps To Help Avoid Making Your Litigation Victory a Loss J. Tucker Barr In 279 B.C., King Pyrrhus of Epirus defeated the Roman army at the Battle of Asculum. King Pyrrus was not thrilled about the big win for Team Epirus. The victory was very costly – King Pyrrhus lost most of his army and many of his commanders. So great were the poor king’s casualties that he declared, “If we are victorious in one more battle with the Romans, we shall be utterly ruined.” If only Pyrrhus had taken some time to assess the risks before picking a fight with the Romans, the term “Pyrrhic Victory” might have an altogether different meaning for us today. While history has forever fixed the meaning of “Pyrrhic Victory,” companies with legal claims need not repeat the king’s error. Instead, they must resist the urge to pounce on their adversaries with litigation simply because there seems to be a clear path to victory on liability. Liability, of course, is only half the battle. When conducting an initial case assessment, litigators and in-house counsel tend to focus largely on issues of liability. Even after a case is filed, damages issues are often given secondary importance, and sometimes are substantively considered for the first time when drafting the last few interrogatories or the last page of a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition notice. Such complacency can lead to perhaps the worst result in the world of litigation for a plaintiff—a win on liability with an award of zero damages (with a litigation bill from your attorney as a consolation prize).

  • Are Pyrrhic) Finding a Plausible Context for RRC 9/1
    PRE-PUBLICATION CIRCULATION (3/14/20), please email [email protected] with comments and corrections, including, but not limited to any observed typos or recommended copy edits. #NotAllElephants (are Pyrrhic) Finding a Plausible Context for RRC 9/1 Liv Mariah Yarrow This paper revisits the history and historiography of a specific type of Roman bronze currency bar weighting approximately five Roman pounds. The curious design—an Indian elephant wearing a bell on one side and a female pig on the other—has inspired current interpretations, especially an assumption that it must have been created in the aftermath of the Pyrrhic War. This presumed dating for this bar has complicated how we understand the development of Roman coinage in the third century—a contentious topic with the debate often divided between those who wish to make the evidence fit the literary sources and those who restrict their dating to the physical evidence.1 There is no smoking gun (or, no new DNA evidence, to update a tired metaphor). The evidence offered here is all circumstantial. Nevertheless, when taken as a totality it demonstrates that there is no definite reason that the elephant and pig bar need be assigned to the 270s BCE and that the balance of evidence suggests such a date is far less plausible than one in the first Punic War. The evidence is presented in five sections: (1) the discovery of specimens and their interpretations to date; (2) a historiographical analysis of ancient literary testimony that has been central to these earlier interpretations; (3) comparative iconography that suggests the bar may evoke events of the First Punic War, especially the triumph of L.

  • Japan's “Reinterpretation” of Article 9
    N2_RICHTER.DOCX (DO NOT DELETE) 2/21/2016 1:41 PM Japan’s “Reinterpretation” of Article 9: A Pyrrhic Victory for American Foreign Policy? Jeffrey P. Richter* ABSTRACT: Article 9 of the Japanese constitution expressly renounces war as a means to resolve international disputes. Yet since its initial promulgation in 1947, Article 9 has been interpreted to allow Japan the right to self-defense. To that end, Japan today possesses one of the most powerful and modern militaries in the world. In the summer of 2014, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe circumvented the constitutional amendment process, and, through a cabinet decision, issued a “reinterpretation” of Article 9 that allowed Japan for the first time to engage in collective self-defense. The questionable constitutionality of Abe’s reinterpretation engendered much debate and protest in Japan and abroad. The United States effectively ignored the domestic and international outcry and gave the reinterpretation its blessing, however, as it has desired greater assistance from the Japanese military since the beginning of the Cold War. Yet the unstable legal basis on which Abe’s reinterpretation rests creates the very real danger that Japan’s newly-declared right of collective self-defense could eventually be retracted, leaving the United States without the support upon which it has based new foreign policy commitments. This Note argues that the United States must take steps in order to prevent Japan’s reinterpretation of Article 9 from becoming a Pyrrhic victory for American foreign policy. First, the United States should encourage Japan to legitimize any right of collective self-defense through traditional legal structures and thus solidify its reinterpretation of Article 9.

  • Plutarch's Pyrrhus and Euripides' Phoenician Women
    Histos () – PLUTARCH’S PYRRHUS AND EURIPIDES’ PHOENI- CIAN WOMEN : BIOGRAPHY AND TRAGEDY ON PLEONECTIC PARENTING The principal concern of this paper is to explore the relevance of Euripides’ Phoenician Women to Plutarch’s Life of Pyrrhus. It will be argued that the rele- vance of the play is much more substantial than usually acknowledged: that its relevance goes beyond the two direct quotations from the play which oc- cur in the Life . It is worth stressing at the outset that of the five quotations from the play in Plutarch’s extant Lives as a whole, two are in the Pyrrhus : that may plausibly be claimed as a concentration ( Pyrrh. and ; cf. Demetr . ; Sull . ; Comp. Nic.-Crass . ). In what follows, I shall attempt to explain how and why the play matters to a reading of the Life . The essence of my claim is that the reader’s knowledge of Euripides’ play is made to provide what may be termed ‘added value’ to Plutarch’s Life , with the further validation of Eu- ripidean authority. The general relevance to Plutarch’s Lives of Athenian tragedy (and in- deed of Homeric epic) has long been recognised. And Judith Mossman has explored tragic and epic elements in the Pyrrhus in particular. The aim of the present paper is to draw attention to the special relevance of a specific play to this Life . I shall argue that a reading of the Life should entail not only a broad awareness of tragedy (and epic), but a sustained memory of a particu- lar play as the Life unfolds.
