Daily: Hannibal

Hannibal was a military commander and tactician for Carthage and his often said to be one of history's greatest military commanders. He lived in a time in which the Mediterranean area was having great turmoil. One of his greatest achievements was leading an army with elephants over the Alpes, after which he conquered most of Italy. He ran for suffette of Rome. Hannibal imposed reforms over Rome, many of which were unpopular. He decided to go into exile. He came out of exile to help other leaders defeat Rome in war. I think that his reputation as a monster through Roman eyes is deserved because he helped many different leaders defeat Rome in battle. If was a Roman, I would be equally as mad at him.
