Determined to restore Carthage’s glory, he took command of its army at age 26 and led a daring invasion of Italy from Iberia, famously crossing the Alps with his army and 37 war elephants. Hannibal secured major victories at Trebia and Lake Trasimene, with his most famous success at the Battle of Cannae in 216 B.C., where he employed a masterful double envelopment to crush a much larger Roman force – a tactic that’s still studied in military strategy today. ================================== Recorded, mixed and mastered at Black Lounge studios by Jonas Kjellgren.
