History remembers Hannibal as the greatest Carthaginian commander. He is rightly considered one of the most talented generals and statesmen of antiquity .. According to legend, before embarking on the campaign, Hannibal’s father made him swear that he would be an irreconcilable enemy of Rome all his life. Hannibal kept his word. Thus came the expression "Hannibal's Oath" .. With a flexible and strong physique, Hannibal was fast in the running, was a skilled fighter, an excellent rider. His moderation in food and sleep, his tireless marches, his boundless courage, always set an example for the soldiers. And his self-sacrificing care for them was the cause of their ardent love and boundless devotion. Hannibal had the rarest gift of power over people. This was evident in the meek obedience in which he managed to keep his multi-tribe and multi-lingual troops. Hannibal is considered one of the best military strategists in history, as well as one of the most talented generals of antiquity. His name is written in history, as well as the name of Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio and Pyrrhus of Epirus.
