Hannibal of Carthage
Below you will find twelve illustrations of the general Hannibal of Carthage. Hannibal is widely known for his journey through the Alps, which was considered one of the most daring military feats in ancient history. In 218 BC, at the start of the Second Punic War, Hannibal led a large army—including tens of thousands of soldiers, cavalry, and around 37 war elephants—from Spain across southern Gaul and into the rugged, snow-covered Alps to launch a surprise attack on Rome. The journey was incredibly treacherous, and his army faced freezing temperatures, avalanches, narrow mountain paths, and attacks by hostile tribes. Despite losing a significant portion of his forces during the crossing, Hannibal successfully entered northern Italy, where he would go on to win a series of major battles against the Romans. His Alpine crossing stunned the ancient world and remains a legendary example of bold strategy and perseverance.
