The Carthaginian army, commanded by <strong>Hannibal Barca</strong>, achieved one of the most famous victories in ancient military history by surrounding and destroying a much larger Roman army.</p> <p>The battle became famous for Hannibal&rsquo;s use of <strong>double envelopment</strong>, in which the Roman army was attacked from the front while its flanks and rear were gradually surrounded. The resulting destruction was one of the worst military disasters in Roman history.</p>
