Documentary Hannibal versus Rome


Hannibal is no doubt one of the greatest generals of all time with unrelenting all-out war on the Romans.

Set during the Punic wars Hannibal inherited from his father a hatred of Rome which he set out to destroy.

Best known for crossing the Alps with elephants he entered Italy quickly killing hundreds of thousand of Romans.

The Romans could not stop him with Hannibal roaming around Italy conquering any army that came at him.

Even though Hannibal was unstoppable he had one weakness that he never could bring Rome to its knees.

One of his men best summed it up saying “You know how to win a battle but not a war”.

Hannibal waged war against Rome his entire life until an old man after losing everything.

During the war he lost his father, brothers, home city Carthage, and finally his life.
