      To be fair the reason the Romans disliked him were understandable. His strategy was situationally sound but just not doing anything as your lands are destroyed and your enemy runs rampant will never sit well. It was the best plan in a terrible circumstances but it was impossible for the romans to stomach.

    Fun fact about Cannae; in terms of casualties per day, the number incurred by Hannibal would not be surpassed until the Battle of The Somme, in WW1. This means that in the odd 2100 years after Cannae, in the continent of Europe, no one managed to kill as many men in one day as Hannibal, and it would take inventions such as the machine-gun and the howitzer to inflict them.

    Battle of Cannae is still crazy to read about.
    Imagine being a roman soldier in the middle of that formation. You run forward with the rest of the legion, then suddenly stop. You can't tell what's going on. You've been standing for a good while now, barely moving forward or backwards. You're sweating and tired from exhaustion. Then you notice that your fellow soldiers are slowly getting close to you that there's barely any breathing room. Then you find yourself getting squeezed on all sides. There's some commotion from your fellow legion, then thats when you hear it. Screams and panic getting closer and closer.
    Really more of a Bloodbath of Cannae.

      Dan Carlin has a great trilogy on the Punic Wars on Hardcore History where he talks about some of these aspects of the human experience. It’s absolutely wild when you stop and think about it. Don’t get me wrong, Oversimplified does the best job of anyone I’ve ever seen at making history fun and engaging while clearly doing his homework on historical accuracy. However, it’s easy for us as viewers to get caught up in the flow of the story and never stop to consider what it might’ve been like to experience some of these things first hand.

      With 80.000 dead heavy infantry, their enemies could raise and arms SEVERAL new armies. As oppose to loss of men to natural disaster, in which at least their enemies wouldn't have such an upperhand because all valuables were lost, not fall into their hands to use against you.

      Reminds me of Dan Carlin’s Hardcore History series, “The Celtic Holocaust” about how traumatic the Celtic raids were, even many centuries later.
      I don’t know if it was related to Hannibal, but when Roman had to pay them off, the Celtic Chieftain demanded a specific weight of gold and/or silver placed on a scale. When the Romans complained, the chieftain threw his sword on his side of the scale and said “Woe to the vanquish”.
      Also Romans viewed the Celtics as terrifying barbarians because they were “less civilized”. Sure they were less disciplined and tactical, but the unpredictability, size, strength, and lighter hair/skin was scary to the Romans, and even more so when dealing with Germanic tribes.

      @@danielefabbro822 Quite on the contrary. Yes, he ultimately lost the war in the end, but having waged such a masterful campaign with so many tactical victories and having shown tremendous martial skill and valor, history remembers him still as one of the greatest generals who ever lived, even more famous than his rival and the man who defeated him, Scipio Africanus. He’s lionized and even the Romans came to respect him. Scipio Africanus himself was outraged with Rome chasing Hannibal, now an old man and with no army, considering it to be highly dishonorable and just plain dickish to harass someone who was an enemy no more and he was far from the only one. The Romans later came to greatly respect Hannibal and Septimius Severus, a Roman Emperor of Punic Descent, later furnished Hannibal’s tomb with marble.
      By your logic, is Napoleon remembered as the eternal loser for having lost in the end? No, he’s still considered *the* greatest general who ever lived and he himself considered Hannibal one of history’s greatest generals and one of his own idols, alongside Alexander, Caesar, Turenne, Eugene Von Savoy, Frederick Der Grosse and Gustavus Adolphus.

      That's because Tunisia is not Carthage and Hannibal was not a member of your people. Yours just immigrated into the empty land years later once the carthaginians were wiped out.

      Both were great tacticians, but both had strategies that needed fighting, because that was what they knew, their enemies, under pressure, always realized they needed to adapt to survive, Napoleon and Hannibal always tried winning wars by winning the most battles, however, when they encountered a counter to their "strategy", ( guerrilla warfare, hit and run, buying time, scorched earth) both struggled, since their strategy was actually by the most part just using tactics to win, and if you can't count on that as a fact, their time always ended up running out

      While that's fairly true about Napoleon, Hannibal did lose to Scipio in a 1v1 at Zama. So he wasn't untouchable, just really good at planning.

      Well, Napoleon didn't win 5 decisive major battles against his enemy (trebia, trasimene, gergovium, x2 for cannae) , decimating a third of their adult male population. He only managed to win a pyrrhic victory at Borodino, in which he abstained from any tactical pursuits and just threw his men at the enemy.
