highly recommend the full episode and their Hannibal series, Hannibal ambushed the Roman on an open field.

[@aachoocrony5754]

Not sure what he did here. In Cannae he used the dust emanating from the initial clash to hide 2 large contingents that would flank the Romans after luring them further. In Trasimene, the Romans in pursuit never suspected the Carthiginians from the mountainside as there were no tracks from that direction. Hannibal marched them forward and around through the mountains. The Romans were blocked before they could see those tracks. I learned that from this series. No doubt, he hid their tracks here as well.

Not really, he made only one mistake - not attacking Rome. If he did there was no way they could have stopped him. Also in the end Hannibal lost because of incopetent leaders in Carthage. If the Carthaginian nobility werent idiots, they would have let Hannibal do his stuff in Italy and wait Scipio out - Scipio could not take Carthage with the army he had. But the nobility forced Hannibal to return thus causing the downfall.

na, the romans just didnt give up, every battle was decisive.

They even betraied him after wars. He maby should have just let scipio take africa, while he consoldiadated to march on rome. i mean with scipio in africa, who would have stopped him?

[@christianboulay4722]

Romans battled bloody hand to hand combat. Legionnaires would thrust their sword, then deflect with shield. Repeated stab and deflect technique. Well versed and trained. Dismemberment heads and limbs was inefficient. It was about stabbing their enemies quickly and effectively. It was efficient for maintaining battle lines and stamina. It was in Medieval battles as Axes, Polaxes, Polarms, and plethora of other highly lethal weapons were around where dismemberment would become guaranteed. Medieval Longswords were designed for piercing and not slashing. That's where they were most effective. Nice video thank you. Ave.
