Awesome historymarch …. i like ur documentaries so much
HistoryMarche, another great video! Thanks Mates, can't wait to see Hannibal smash History!
"He faked so many ambushes to disengage us, I'm sure he's also faking now."
But he wasn't faking.
Paullus? Thought I was watching a video about the wrong general for a moment
The battle is for the supplies. They should have kept their gaze focused on the goal and progressed with a siege mentality crossing the river to the East and building a fort on the Eastern hill. Keeping their minds focused on defensive counter cavalry measures while slowly moving forward to seize the supplies Hannibal is relying on for his existence. Hannibal is vastly over extended and perched on the edge of a cliff. Siege of Cannae not Battle of Cannae would deliver Roman victory. Hannibal cannot leave the supplies to prevent the strangulation of his position while staying to defend is submitting to that slow strangulation.
What if Hannibal take rome
For sure hannibal was à genius but in all his battles he was superior in cavalry untill zama when massinissa vanquished the numidian allies of carthage and saved scipio From a desastre the history wad tough on those numidians they were the most efficient and deadly weapon in hannibal's arsenal… Wait Who among us now Who was maharbal the numidian
