Hannibal: The One Man Who Ever Threatened Rome | Hannibal Barca | Timeline

No shortlist of the greatest generals in history would be complete with out the name of Hannibal. This film shows why he was both feared and respected by his enemies. Hannibal’s tactical genius is illustrated with the latest three-dimensional graphics technology and exciting dramatic reconstructions of his victories. This is the story of the General who took on the might of Rome. Hannibal led his forces, including a squadron of elephants, through France, over the Alps and into the heart of Italy. For 15 years he fought the Romans using their own country as his battlefield and his base. With his small forces, he destroyed larger well-trained Roman Armies with almost contemptuous ease. This feature length special also shows how Rome, after defeating Hannibal, destroyed the city of Carthage and attempted to wipe out an entire civilisation.

    Technically, Carthago was the Empire that attacked Rome as a revenge for first Punic wars. Rome, at that time, was only shadow of its future might. I have a feeling that in modern "popculture" is Hannibal always seen as underdog, but technically roles were reversed. Yes, Rome was on rise and this conflict was inevitable. Its not humiliating when big empire invades Rome's land.

    The Moral of the Story to why Romans were able to build an empire was the strength of unity. No matter how many defeats they faced at the hands of Hannibal they remained stronger. Hannibal genius was only limited if you have no support. They wanted to ride the victories of Hannibal but not to help him. Even to the end Hannibal remained loyal to Carthage not because he was loyal to weak political system of the day. He was devoted to a image of Carthage. But Romans learnt from there fatal errors and became the great empire and military giant of history. I always say it’s not admitting defeat that makes you a loser. It’s spirit of tenacious determination of Rome that would not allow this. Maybe Rome knew the system of Carthage was weak and to why they opened multiple fronts and use the tactic of Fabian to hold him until they could rebuild.

That’s it. They are on the wrong end of 3 or 4 of the greatest lopsided victories in history. They are on the wrong end of at least 2 of the greatest ambushes in history. They didn’t learn & come back stronger. They just got more & more people together, sometimes including defectors from the enemy, until they finally secured Pyrrhic victories. Had they been a smaller country, even if extremely powerful & wealthy & strong -> they would’ve been wiped off the planet & obliterated from history maybe 7 times over (from 7 different combatants that destroyed them in battle). No way you allow 200,000 Roman citizens. 1/3 of the Senate & countless consuls & political leadership be killed by a guy who hung out in your backyard for the next 15 years. . .and think you actually won something.

If his country had sent him the support and supplies he needed after Cannae, our world would be a very different place.

I don't think a society that slaughtered thousands of infants in ritual sacrifice was a great way to usher in the modern era.

    betty boop He wasn’t what we would call ‘black’ today, nor was he an Israelite. Modern racial divisions didn’t exist back then as they do now. Hannibal was African however, more specifically he was Phoenician. They were a Semitic people from Western Asia, and through there mastery of the sea they colonized much of the Mediterranean world. In appearance Hannibal would look like a middle easterner, neither black nor white, but brown, or olive. The Romans themselves would not have appeared much different. Indeed the Romans would not look like what we would today call white, they to would’ve resembled modern Middle Easterners during the time of Hannibal.

    Hannibal may have failed in his lifetime, but so did Napoleon. Both won major victories (in Italy, no less), but both were eventually defeated and exiled. Still, as generals, they were greatly successful in that they left their mark on the science of warfare and are studied even to this day. Being a victor alone doesn't guarantee that one will be studied; it depends on how one achieves victory, against what odds, and how long one was victorious, even if it eventually ends in defeat.

    Tunisia: Carthage is considered one of the most important civilizations known to the Mediterranean in the pre-Christian world, just like the Greek and Roman civilizations, as well as the Pharaonic ones. The center of this republic-imperial that prevailed in the Mediterranean for centuries is the city of Carthage, which is located in the north of Tunisia, not far from the Tunisian capital, which was founded nearly fifteen centuries after Carthage, but the latter was transformed by urban expansion into one of its suburbs. Legend says that Carthage was founded by the Phoenician Princess Alice, as the Tunisians call her, or Elissar / Elisa, as it was termed in the East, or Didon, as Westerners call it. Alissa or Elissar came from the Lebanese city of Tyre, fleeing from her brother who killed her husband. It is said that there was a priest who told her that it was her destiny to establish a city opposite a mountain with two horns, so she wandered at sea until she reached what is called today the Gulf of Tunis, where the mountain of Dhul-Qarnayn is located. Mount Boukernin as it is called today). And the princess offered the local people to buy from them a plot of land the size of a bull’s skin, and she had what she wanted, and all she wanted was to cut the bull’s skin and turn it into a long, thin thread. Or Elissar, on a large area, on which her city of Carthage or “Qart Hadasht” was founded, meaning the modern village or the new city. And the new Mediterranean metropolis grew, grew, prospered, and excelled over the rest of the surrounding Phoenician cities in various fields, and it became an economic and military power that reads a thousand accounts. The conflict with Rome Rome became a young modern empire emerging after centuries of control of Carthage on the Mediterranean and it was necessary for the emerging modern power (Rome) to displace the aging empire (Carthage), which took its time and increase. Carthage controlled vast lands that extended over the entire northwestern African coast to the Strait of Gibraltar, which was called the Strait of Melqart, after the Carthaginian leader Abd Melqart Baraka, Hannibal's father. Carthage also took control of the Iberian Peninsula, where it founded several cities, including Cartagena and Barcelona (in relation to the Carthaginian Barka family, from which Hannibal and his father Abd Melqart descended, as well as Sadr Baal al-Adel) and its influence reached southern France. Carthage controlled important Mediterranean islands such as Greek Crete and Malta, as well as Sicily, Corsica, Sardinia and the Balearic. It reached the east to the Libyan Gulf of Sirte, where it signed a border agreement with the Greeks who controlled the Egyptian Mediterranean coast and eastern Libya. Although it was at the end of its reign, Carthage fought three major wars against the Romans that lasted for many years and ended with the burning of Carthage at the hands of the Roman commander Sepion. These epics witnessed the emergence of great leaders who gained wide fame, including Abd Melkart Barca (Amilcar) and his son Hannibal, who crossed the Alps with his villa and his legions of armies and besieged Rome for nearly ten years and fought many battles on its borders, the most important of which was the famous Battle of Cannae. Scout people The Carthaginians noticed early and before others the importance of the African continent, so they sailed in the Atlantic Ocean, which the Arabs feared and called it the “Sea of ​​Darkness” and established their settlements in West Africa along the African coast. Perhaps the most famous expedition is the journey of the traveler ruler Hanoun, which took place around the fifth century BC and was written down and became famous unlike the rest of the trips. The Carthaginians also reached the British Isles across the Atlantic Ocean, as well as the North Sea on the borders of the Scandinavian countries in search of tin and everything that would benefit the empire. These trade trips were preceded by the famous campaign of the travellers, Carthage, which opened the door wide for the merchants of Carthage to expand their trade to include the north of the old continent across the sea. It is said that the Carthaginians also reached the American continent, in view of what was mentioned in some books of the Greeks, which spoke of a vast land beyond the ocean that was a source of the Carthaginian wealth. Carthaginian coins were also found containing an approximate image of a world map that includes a large land area located directly after the sea, which is supposed to be the Atlantic Ocean. Carthage scholars Science developed and flourished in Carthage, and this civilization gave birth to many scientists and thinkers. Perhaps the most famous of them all is the geneticist and agricultural scientist Magon, who composed an encyclopedia that the Romans relied on later and after the Carthaginians in developing their agricultural sciences. Regarding Magon’s Encyclopedia, Tunisian historian Muhammad Hussein Fantar says: “The encyclopedia that Magon wrote on agricultural affairs was in the Dar al-Kutub in Carthage, and perhaps copies of it were owned by some private people, especially those who were engaged in agriculture. Magoon's Encyclopedia was not among the kind of books that remain on the shelves of libraries. Rather, it was a means of work that its owner would return to when needed. Perhaps some of its chapters were stuck in the rooms of the supervisors on the cultivation of the land, regardless of their specializations. When the Third Punic War and the fall of Carthage, Chebion Amelia Nuss ordered the house of books in Carthage to be looted and burned, and the books that had escaped from the burning fire were given to the Numidian kings and their princes, with the exception of the encyclopedia written by Magon in the sciences of agriculture, the Romans accounted for it and ordered their Senate to transfer it to The Latin language was appointed, and a committee of translators was appointed to supervise this work, which was shortened by Dionysius to the Greek tongue, and he dedicated his work to the governor of Africa at the time, Sextilius, and this took place in the year 88 BC. It should be noted that there is a third translation of Magon's encyclopedia based on the translation of Diosnius Diovan made by Diovan the Nicaea, who contented himself with summarizing the text translated by Diosnius. The twenty parts were turned into 6 parts, and Diovan presented his work as a gift to King Deotarus, and the interest in Magon's encyclopedia did not stop, but it seems that the summary made by Diovan was done in two parts and this work was done by the philosopher Phleon, who was studying in the city of Rome around 48 BC. Despite this care and this continuous interest in the episodes, only 66 paragraphs remain from Magon’s Encyclopedia, which were mentioned in the books of some agricultural scientists, including Ron Kolomala and Gergelius Marsalis the African who lived in the third century AD and others. In addition to all of them, a reference must be made to those who praised Magon and his writings, including the famous writer and the eloquent lawyer, Faqiron. It is proven that the encyclopedia was popular in the Roman circles, so those who wanted to write about agriculture had to return to it because of its benefits. It was stated in some chapters from the book of Wron that the supervisor of cow breeding was carrying with him extracts from the encyclopedia, so he dealt with how to treat bulls. And some of the ancients mentioned that the Roman poet Virgilius, when he wanted to write his poems about rural life, used the Magonian encyclopedia, which was a reference that the reader would find in the book houses and was one of the most important scientific books that the village is not without. and countryside. Many contemporary historians believe that the encyclopedia made an effective contribution to reviving the Italian economy, and it is likely that it crossed the ages until it reached Ibn al-Awwam al-Andalus.

    700k troops and 70k Cav, that's what Rome had to draw from allies included. Hannibal came to Italy with what? 25k to 30k troops? He would have had to have Cannae type victory 3 to 4 more times to even get them to negotiations. Even with full Carthagian support, there was only 1 Hannibal, he couldn't guard, Spain, Carthage and stay in Italy. So basically it was a impossible war to win sort of like WW2 for Germany once USSR and USA were in.

All names and places related to the Carthaginian era are synonyms of Luxury in Tunisia. In our Tunisian culture, we have kept many of punic words and traditions. And btw, it is really sad that some Subsaharan africans living in US and EU are still seeking for a civilisation to belong to. Carthage, Rome, Egypt, Phoenicia and Greece are mediterranean civilisations. Even physically, we look like each others. Hannibal is a Tunisian National Hero exhibited everywhere in Tunisia.

    There is an interesting inaccuracy at 38:50. Another channel, HistoryMarche brilliantly covered Hannibal's campaign in detail. In their video on Trasimene, it is explained that Hannibal could not simply lead his troops uphill to set the trap, but in fact had to march all the way to the end of the pass around the lake, climb the hill there, and march back on the hilltop (at night). All this had to be done in silence and secrecy, and very quickly, as the Romans were one day behind, their scouts at the heel of Hannibal's troops. If he simply climbed the hill as illustrated in this video, it would have left obvious marks, and the Romans would have spotted the ambush.

    The Numidians rode bareback (i.e. without saddles). Additionally, Hannibal had the more seasoned soldiers as all but the newly recruited Gauls had fighting against the Celt-Iberian tribes in Spain for several years. Aside from that, very good documentary. The Numidians were truly incredible. In the end, cavalry was the great X-Factor as Hannibal lost when he lacked the cavalry advantage at Zama. In fact, the encirclement at Cannae would have been impossible without the Numidian legends.

    For some reason I have always felt Hannibal was always more feared than even Alexander the Great I guess it was because he had the Roman Empire shook and there aren’t many people no matter the time in history who could have made the Romans feel threatened and as we still witness to this day His battle campaigns and strategies were second to none at least that is the impact his legacy still resonates in people’s minds to this day.just watching the movie when he is visited by that psychologist prevented me from shutting the lights off at night.🤣😂🥺💀🙀🤒 👻.Well you get the idea!

    Alexander faced a coward enemy , the main reason of his triumph at gaugamela was that the persian king fled the field . The roman army was much much stroger than the persian army of darius And the romans had always a devoted generals not like the coward persian king. I strongly doubt if alexander with mercenaries from 4 countries could do better against the army of the roman republic.

    Had his army been able to traverse the Alps better intact, I believe he could have taken Rome.

    Hannibal had three main components. First, he was a great tactician. He knew how to handle different type of forces and manoeuvre in the battle field. Second, he was good at motivating his males even they were from different countries. And third, he had insight into the minds of his opponents. He could think what they were thinking and exploit it against them.

    @@anabellido1487 It's quite contentious to establish wether he indeed wasn't able to take advantage of his tactical victories, or simply didn't have the tools at his disposal to bring about the destruction of Rome. As the documentary well shows, Hannibal wasn't granted much support by the Carthaginian Senate. On top of that, it is important to remember that, as many later authors well described, the Carthaginian political system was far weaker than the Roman, being this the case to such a degree that Polibyus stated that it was the Roman political system that was the cornerstone of the empire (Source: SPQR). Besides that, the Carthaginian army was based upon a loosely knit army of mercenaries of different origins, which is always bound to be of inferior utility than a citizen army, as Niccolò Machiavelli well pointed out in "The Prince". All in all, a weaker political system combined with an army that wasn't drawn from the citizenship resulted in a disadvantage for the Carthaginians, and despite Hannibal's tactical genius, it's ultimate doom.

Hannibal killed both his father and uncles along with many of his friends. But for 12 years from when he was 17. Defeat after defeat Scipio learned. It's a good lesson to learn. As Peter the Great said about the Swiss. They might beat us this time maybe the next time but eventually they will teach us how to beat them
