It's all well and good getting the elephants through the Alps, but he couldn't get them through the Roman fighting spirit. 🥹

Hannibal gets to Rome but lacks siege equipment. Talk about farting out. Plus he was up against cagey Fabius and his guerrilla tactics rather than the idiots who dreamed up Lake Trasimene and Cannae.

Although you have to credit the Roman rebound talent. They had a lot of catastrophic defeats throughout their history and it didn’t end them. Brennus nearly seized Rome. The eastern army under Crassus was blitzed by the Parthians. Teutoburg Forest.

Cannae = 20% of Rome’s military aged population and 80 senators dead in an afternoon. That could cause collapse in some societies.

I'm thankful they went through all that. That's how you can buy ancient Roman stylus and use them like chopsticks for sushi
