Detailed explanation-1: -Hannibal (/ˈhænɪbəl/; Punic: , romanized: Ḥannībaʿl; 247 – between 183 and 181 BC) was a Carthaginian general and statesman who commanded the forces of Carthage in their battle against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest military commanders in history.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hannibal, one of history’s most famous generals, achieved what the Romans thought to be impossible. With a vast army of 30, 000 troops, 15, 000 horses and 37 war elephants, he crossed the mighty Alps in only 16 days to launch an attack on Rome from the north.
