What is Hannibal Barca best known for?
I am known for teaching Rome the true meaning of war. They thought their legions invincible on their own soil. I showed them otherwise. Crossing the Alps with my army and elephants – that was the first lesson. Then came Cannae. Ah, Cannae! A masterpiece of encirclement, turning their own strength and numbers into a trap. The Romans could throw more men at me, but they could not match my mind for tactics. We will either find a way, or make one, that is what I told my men. And we did.
