@cira.history: Hannibal’s genius at the Battle of Cannae (216 BC) — one of the greatest tactical victories in history. Outnumbered and deep in enemy territory, he used a double envelopment to destroy a Roman army twice his size. This breakdown comes from historian Gregory Aldrete’s fascinating conversation with Lex Fridman — a masterclass in strategy, psychology, and leadership. ⚔️🔥 #Hannibal #romanhistory #LexFridman #GregoryAldrete #MilitaryStrategy
The question that is still not answered is what Hannibal did not evade Rome?

Very good, and then what happened? because that story continues and Hannibal was defeated by the Romans and that's what really counts at the end. He won a few battles but the Romans won the war 😏.

Hannibal Barca was of Punic ethnicity, which refers to the descendants of Phoenician settlers in Carthage and other parts of North Africa (The Oxford Encyclopedia of Archaeology in the Near East). The Phoenicians themselves were a Semitic people originating from the Levant, a region corresponding to modern-day Lebanon, Syria, and Israel (The Oxford Classical Dictionary).

The Roman casualties are likely exaggerated by people at the time.

now to answer you ,first what we know is from the roman, so they always describe their enemy more then they're.
second point he was a master on tactics but not in strategy.
third didn't you never ask yourself why after canne he didn't March on rome, me personally I know because I m very passionate in study the second punic war, the answer lies in the three battles trebbia, trasimeno,and canne and in the first punic war by the way won by the roman
