Cannae - 216 BC, the famous battle of the Carthaginian Punic military commander, Hanibaal.

The First Punic War (264 - 241 BC) ended in victory for the Romans, their peace terms demanded the permanent Carthaginian withdrawal from Sicily & annual payments of tons of silver to Rome. In 238 BC Carthage was obliged to relinquish control of Sardinia to Rome, which was the price for it's neutrality in a bitter war that had flared up between Carthage and its disaffected North African mercenaries.

Blocked in central Mediterranean, Carthage turned it's attention to Spain, New Carthage were established in 228 BC. In 219 BC Hannibal attacked the town of Saguntum (a roman ally) and initiated the Second Punic War (218 -- 201 BC)

  • What film or show is this?  Hannibal spoke Punic by the way, he wasn't anything close to being arabic

  • @Graham6762

    Actually he spoke Turkish in this film, all others spoke Arabic (Tunisian accent). funny i know but the content is great nonetheless. i might upload the whole film soon :)

  • @Kinahnu, you don't have to be educated in English (though that never hurts). But when you write the word ITS both wrongly and correctly in the SAME sentence starting "In 238 BC Carthage..." then even an idiot should have seen something's wrong.

  • @MrCuddlyable3

    You know what, fuck English language. The video is in arabic anyway. so please if you don't like what's in here, get lost

  • so people dont get confused !

    HANNIBAL was not an arab he was phoenician

    he was 0% arab

    HANNIBAL was not a muslim (look at the the time he lived)

    99% of modern tunisian are maybe 5% (prob even less) that the ancient people

  • why does this movie show the wholesle wearing of mail in 200bc (roughly) when it had only been invented for about 50-100 years or so. Well celt invention that the romans had just grabed hold of. mail was very labour intensive to make, that made it very expensive. most troops would not have had this armour at this time. it would have been the elite troops. by the 13th century then plate came to the for but still mail was dearer to make.

  • @CavalierHorseman91 WE'RE ALL MIXED!!!!! WE'RE ALL AMERICANS, MOTHERFUCKING MIXED BREED MUTS!!!!! CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG!!!!! PS THE NORDIC, ALPINE AND MEDITERREAN CAUCASOIDS FROM EUROPE HAVE SOME MONGOLOID AND NEGROID BLOOD!!!!! WE MUSTN'T FORGET OUR PAST, HISTORY AND RECORDS!!!!! NATURE TELLS NO LIES!!!!! LOVE HAS NO COLOUR!!!!! HORNYNESS KNOWS NO COLOUR OR ETHNICITY!!!!!

  • @Kinahnu FUCKING STUPID YANKS AND BRITS THINK THEIR ENGLISH LANGUAGE OUGHT TO BE SPOKEN BY EVERYONE!!!!! THE GRINGOS AND LIMEYS OUGHT TO LEARN ARABIC, RUSSIAN, MANDARIN, JAPANESE, GERMAN AND OTHER FOREIGN LANGUAGES TO COMMUNICATE EFECTIVALLY, PROPERLY AND SUCCESSFULLY WITH OTHER RACES!!!!!

  • WAS HANNIBAL MIXED WITH BERBER, AND NEGROID SUDANIC AFRICAN OR WAS HE A PHOENICIAN?!?!? BECAUSE THE CARTHAGINIANS ORIGINALLY CAME FROM LEBANON!!! AND THEY WERE PHOENICIAN!!! I KNOW EUROCENTRISTS AND AFROCENTRISTS WOULD REFUTE MY QUESTION!!! I'M JUST WONDERING!!! PS WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT EXACTLY HANNIBAL LOOKED LIKE PER SE!!! BECAUSE WE WEREN'T LIVING WHILST HANNIBAL LIVED IN TUNISIA!!!!!

  • Rager below

  • ALL OF YOU SHUT UP, HANNIBAL WAS OBVIOUSLY...UNITED STATES AMERICAN! I WENT THERE, COME AT ME BRO

  • in the capital Tunis, they made a study, 20% of the people have the phoenician gene. we are a mix of everything actually but mainly berbers and phoenicians in the north and arabic in the south. so yes hannibal was not an arab as we are not also... we are not from saudi arabia originally we are north africans, and want it or not but hannibal and the carthaginian civilization is a part of our heritage,

  • Mrfalangist, if you knew the history of our country (tunisia) you should know that we are arabs by culture but not ethnically... our people are a mix of original Berbers (amazigh) then came the phoenicians, mixing with berbers created the punic carthaginian empire. Then the romans came, then the vandals, and then the byzantines took it back, the arabs came after and arabized and islamized north africa during 300 years, then the turks came and finally the french.

  • Can you guys just please stop bashing race, religion and language around here? Hannibal is a great commander and stuff, lets focus on that instead. Oh, and to guys hatin on this video cuz its not in english, maybe if you bothered to learn other languages the world would be a less hateful place.
