Abstract: "At Cannae, Hannibal inflicted the greatest ever defeat on the forces of Rome. A mighty Roman army, 8 legions strong, marched to crush the Carthaginian general on an open battlefield. Hannibal had far fewer men at his disposal, but nonetheless managed to encircle and annihilate the Roman forces. His tactics are still taught today"--ShopHistoryChannel website.
