Hannibal - Rome's Worst Nightmare Part 8

It is 200 years before the birth of Christ and Rome is the new superpower of the ancient world. She believes she is invincible - but one man is destined to change that. He is a man bound by oath to avenge the wrongs inflicted on his home and, in pursuit of revenge, he will stop at nothing. Hannibal explores the man behind the myth, revealing what drove the 26-year-old to mastermind one of the most audacious military moves in history. With 40,000 soldiers and 37 elephants, he marched 1,500 miles to challenge his enemies on their own soil. It was an act so daring that few people believed it possible. Hannibal combines drama, the latest historical research and state-of-the-art CGI to bring this spectacular story to life.

Scipio was like Hannibal 2.0 ... an upgraded version of Hannibal who was not only very capable tactically but also decisive strategically.

The soldiers who lost to Hannibal were exiled to Sicily for life, pretty tragic all around...

@ltflak

Hannibal was born too early to learn that. :-P

Ceasar fought a army 4 times his and u call it luck that he won at alesia?

@macmm7 Tut, tut I am always surprised when I hear people use this argument. "Scipio copied Hannibal". Really and if I learn to play chess by watching someone and then beat them, that makes me a poor player? If someone is using your own tactics and you are incapable of defeating them, then who is the poorer general?
