That was a cute meme

He couldn't sustain a large number of prisoners

They'd have to be killed anyway

Hannibal didn't have a supply line.

oh i know, im just saying his plan for that battle... and his plan for that battles aftermath... and his plan for the campaign... they werent exactly 1 coherent thing :p

I think annihilation was consistent to his character

As a child he swore never to be a friend to Rome

He wouldn't have been looking for leverage because he wasn't looking for peace

The Carthaginian Senate might've been though

Idk

btw the not annihilating them is referenced from both plybius and livy, tho both of them watched the battle from the sidelines

Lindybeige did a video on that battle

one hour vid irc

if you learned about that battle from lindybeige then your history teacher should be fired

Livy wasn't even alive

Oh no, I learned about the battle by reading books.

Lindy just made a video that I watched.

Also, Australian history sucks.

ur right livy was using after the fact refernces

they don't teach you much

Do they teach you how the aboriginal shaman call down lightning?

Pretty much stuff like that

history was pretty dull.

Then I played this video game called total war rome 2, and after that I thought history was pretty cool.

I regret nothing.

i feel like you was a sheltered child if rome2 got u interested in the romans... do they not sell the rotten romans anymore?

Deary's books are great
