EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts Hannibal Barca, the legendary Carthaginian commander, leading his troops to a stunning victory against the mighty Roman army at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC. Outnumbered and outmaneuvered, Hannibal's ingenious tactics and superior cavalry proved to be the decisive factors in this pivotal moment of the Second Punic War. The Battle of Cannae is considered one of the greatest military victories in ancient history, with Hannibal reportedly losing only around 5,700 men (according to Polybius), while the Romans, as Livy records, suffered a devastating loss of nearly 50,000 soldiers. This defeat marked a turning point in the war, as Rome's once invincible legions were left reeling from the shock of such a resounding defeat. The August scene unfolds before us, with Hannibal, dressed in his distinctive African armor, standing proudly atop his horse, surveying the battlefield. The Carthaginian cavalry charges forward, their horses' hooves thundering against the ground, ready to deliver the final blow to the Roman forces. The Roman soldiers, disorganized and demoralized, are shown retreating in disarray. This historical print, from Mary Evans Picture Library, offers a captivating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the fate of two great civilizations hung in the balance. The Battle of Cannae remains a testament to the indomitable spirit and strategic brilliance of Hannibal Barca, and a reminder of the enduring power of human ingenuity and determination.
