Summary:
This is one of the coolest things I've run across so far. Here is the story: There is a YouTube channel called Extra Credits devoted to games and gaming. They have nothing to do with history. This gaming company, Creative Assembly, calls them up and tells them that they will use some of their budget from their latest game (Total War: Rome II) to underwrite a short series of videos about Roman history. So Extra Credits did. This is a fast paced info packed 9 minutes. It is an almost animated, drawn cartoon figure with other still pics and a narrator telling the back story, and the consequences of the first Punic War between Rome and Carthage.
