Our animated historical documentary series about Pyrrhus of Epirus continues! In the previous video, our hero was involved in the wars of the Diadochi of Alexander the Great and this involvement only increased. However ambitious Pyrrhus preferred to achieve new conquests and win wars against new opponents, so when a Greek city of Tarentum invited him to Italy to defend it against the Roman Republic, Pyrrhus agreed. The war with Rome was now inevitable and its first engagement would be the battle of Heraclea.
