Cannae 216 BC

Hannibal smashes Rome's Army
A highly illustrated account of what is rightly regarded as one of the greatest battles of military history.

A highly illustrated account of what is rightly regarded as one of the greatest battles of military history.

Hannibal's stratagem has become a model of the perfectly fought battle and is studied in detail at military academies around the world. At Cannae the Romans confronted Hannibal with an army of 80,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry. Hannibal faced them with 40,000 foot and 10,000 horse. The engagement that followed was a masterpiece of battlefield control.

Alongside battle maps, Mark Healy describes the battle in detail, up to the end of the conflict, when the Romans had lost 47,500 infantry and 2,700 cavalry killed and a further 19,300 captured.
