Hannibal: Rome’s Greatest Threat

“Hannibal didn’t just fight Rome — he terrified it.” He marched an army, war elephants included,

across the Alps — something Rome believed was impossible. Then he crushed Roman legions again

and again, culminating in one of the deadliest defeats in Roman history at Cannae.

For years, Rome stood on the brink of collapse. But a lack of support from Carthage changed

everything. Hannibal never conquered Rome… but no enemy ever came closer.
