'''Hannibal''' was a Carthaginian commander and military genius.  During the [[Second Punic War]] against Rome, he crossed the [[Alps]] with 38 [[War Elephants]] in a mere 15 days to surprise the Roman armies.  Winning battle after battle, including killing 60,000 Romans in a single day at the [[Battle of Cannae]], he still lost the war when the Romans could replenish their losses with deep manpower reserves that Carthage didn't have.  Feared and succesful even in peace, the Romans eventually forced him to commit suicide in 183 BC.
