  • Ah, the Second Punic War. Proof that sometimes, sequels are better than the original.

  • Actually, Fabius "Cunctator" (the delayer) was the one that saved Rome from Hannibal. If it wasn't for the delaying tactics of Fabius, Hannibal would have probably have beaten Rome in another decisive batlle (after Cannae) and most of Rome's allies would have sided with Hannibal. Because of Fabius, Hannibal was unable to finish Rome and wandered aimlessly in southern Italy, unable to siege Rome (mistake by Hannibal not have siege equipment). Fabius' tactic was not popular but it was effective...

  • this is really funny But it has quite alot of false facts. Hannibal was after the punic wars, his father lost in the punic wars hence why he wanted his son to hate the romans.

    after this Hannibal father moved to spain under a resign to collect silver to pay back rome for losing the war. Hannibals father died and then after a short time of another general hannible took the place of his father.

    when he was in spain he received a visit from the roman consul who told him he could not cross the ebro
