Hannibal Barca (247–183 BCE) was a Carthaginian general and statesman who famously led his army, including war elephants, across the Alps to invade Italy during the Second Punic War. He is celebrated for his tactical brilliance, particularly his victory at the Battle of Cannae, and is considered one of the greatest military strategists in history. His life was marked by a relentless struggle against Rome, which ultimately led to his exile and death.
