The greatest military tactician in history, and general of the Carthaginian armies in both Punic Wars against Rome. Inventor of the pincers movement, pioneered in the Battle of Cannae (216BC), the greatest defeat in Roman military history, and the third of his three great victories over Roman forces (following River Trebia in 218BC and Lake Trasimene in 217BC). The Carthaginian empire spanned from Tunisia (where Carthage is) through Libya and most of North Africa, Spain, Mallorca, Corsica, Sicily, and Sardinia. His name also inspired the name of the city of Barcelona, which was once part of the Carthaginian empire.
