3 battles, 3 wins by total envelopment, 100,000 dead Romans, 1/3 of the Senate dead, 3 dead consuls, 10% of the eligible fighting population dead.
At Cannae, 50,000 dead Romans in ~5 square miles. That's 10,000 dead men per square mile.
Hannibal man. Insane.

Hannibal's INSANE man...such a dawg. He just always has the initiative. And anyone that has played a competitive game or sport knows how impossible that is. It's CRAZY work.

I think I'm at the morning of Cannae, and the tension is INSANE. It's about to go down.
Hearing these Punic war stories from the boots-on-the-ground perspectives is so wild.

Hanno, Hannibal, other Hannibal, Hamilcar, Hasdrabal... Carthage was lacking some creativity when it came to guy names.
First Punic War was a generational throw by Carthage. They were just, like, objectively better, and then kinda just stopped trying hard and lost.
