[QUOTE="Alegandron, post: 7160741, member: 51347"]Agreed. Everything I have read have described how much blood, innards, smell, etc. that must had been on the battleground. Additionally, a lot of people gloss over the bodies that were literally stacked from the carnage. The Battle Tactics were brilliantly executed by Hannibal. I knew that it was a slowly retreating convex to a concave arc that Hannibal used in his front lines, but how he positioned the troops in two parallel columns on either side, until the Romans moved between them was a brilliant move. I have a lot on the Punic Wars, and this has been a good read: [ATTACH=full]1274618[/ATTACH] [SIZE=6][B]The Ghosts of Cannae: Hannibal and the Darkest Hour of the Roman Republic[/B] [B]by: Robert L.
