Music is Beethoven’s Sonata No. 32 in C Minor, Op. 111 – I. Maestoso – Allegro con brio ed appassionato, performed by Daniel Veesey
Perhaps it would be good to include that the 70.000 death are according to Polybius, while most historians follow the 42600 stated by Livius.
14.000 Legionairies managed to break through the Carthaginian center and flee to Canusium.
i like how the music intensifies when you say "its a disaster" at 7:10
See Carthage would have actually won the war if Hannibal actually decided to take rome
Comment section flooded with kids typing "Battle of the bastards".
