In addition, Raimi needed $ 3 million to finish his movie, but Universal was not willing to give him the money and delayed its release because they were upset that De Laurentiis would not give them the rights to the Hannibal Lecter character so that they could film a sequel to Jonathan Demme's The Silence of the Lambs.

They also fought alongside Hannibal, killing ( in 216 BC ) the Roman general L. Postumius Albinus, whose skull was then turned into a sacrificial bowl.

In volume 21 of his work Ab Urbe Condita, Livy ( 59 BC-17 AD ) claims that it was a Boian man that offered to show Hannibal the way across the Alps.

Although he was aware that the Bastarnae were hardly likely to achieve the same success as Hannibal some 40 years earlier, and would most likely end up cut to pieces by the Romans, Philip hoped that the Romans would be distracted long enough to allow him to reoccupy his former possessions in Greece.

Transparent and flexible film base material, celluloid, was discovered and refined for photographic use by John Carbutt, Hannibal Goodwin, and George Eastman.

It was Fabius Buteo, his kinsman who formally declared war in the Carthaginian Senate after the capture of Saguntum by Hannibal ( Liv.

Fabius was well aware of the military superiority of the Carthaginians, and so Fabius refused to meet Hannibal in a pitched battle.

He realized what would happen when Minucius was defeated in battle by Hannibal.

Fabius, we are told, reminded Minucius that it was Hannibal, and not he, who was the enemy.

" It was only after Fabius had saved him from an attack by Hannibal that Minucius placed himself under Fabius ' command.

Fabius continued to argue that confronting Hannibal directly was too dangerous.

It was the first invasion of the peninsula, apart from its remotest northern regions, since the days of Hannibal, 500 years before.

Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca ( 247 – 183 / 182 BC ) was a Punic Carthaginian military commander, generally considered one of the greatest military commanders in history.

Hannibal occupied much of Italy for 15 years, but a Roman counter-invasion of North Africa forced him to return to Carthage, where he was decisively defeated by Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama.

After Antiochus met defeat at the Battle of Magnesia and was forced to accept Rome's terms, Hannibal fled again, making a stop in Armenia.

Plutarch states that, when questioned by Scipio as to who was the greatest general, Hannibal is said to have replied either Alexander or Pyrrhus, then himself, or, according to another version of the event, Pyrrhus, Scipio, then himself.

Upon the assassination of Hasdrubal ( 221 BC ), Hannibal was proclaimed commander-in-chief by the army and confirmed in his appointment by the Carthaginian government.

Hannibal was now determined to carry the war into the heart of Italy by a rapid march through Hispania and southern Gaul.

Hasdrubal was assassinated around the same time ( 221 BC ), bringing Hannibal to the fore.

Hannibal, by skillful maneuvers, was in position to head him off, for he lay on the direct road between Placentia and Arminum, by which Sempronius would have to march to reinforce Scipio.

Hannibal knew that this route was full of difficulties, but it remained the surest and certainly the quickest way to central Italy.

" At the same time, Hannibal tried to break the allegiance of Rome ’ s allies by proving that Flaminius was powerless to protect them.

Often regarded as one of the greatest military strategists in European history, Hannibal would later be considered one of the greatest generals of antiquity, together with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio, and Pyrrhus of Epirus.

It has been suggested that the image portrays Hannibal as Melqart, however there are no known authentic images of Hannibal and there is no proof that even Carthaginian coins such as this one show his likeness.

Having ravaged Apulia without bringing Fabius to battle, Hannibal decided to march through Samnium to Campania, one of the richest and most fertile provinces of Italy, hoping that the devastation would draw Fabius into battle.

Whatever the reason, the choice prompted Maharbal to say, " Hannibal, you know how to gain a victory, but not how to use one.

Hannibal still won a number of notable victories: completely destroying two Roman armies in 212 BC, and at one point, killing two consuls ( including the famed Marcus Claudius Marcellus ) in a battle in 208 BC.

Until after the defeat of Cannae it remained faithful to Rome, but, after a vain demand that one of the consuls should always be selected from it or perhaps in order to secure regional supremacy in the event of a Carthaginian victory, it defected to Hannibal, who made it his winter quarters: he and his army were voluntarily received by Capua.

As an example, one notable maneuver is the double envelopment, considered to be the consummate military maneuver, first executed by Hannibal at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BCE, and later by Khalid ibn al-Walid at the Battle of Walaja in 633 CE.

He employed combined arms tactics, like Alexander or Pyhrrus, and his strategy was similar to the one employed by Quintus Fabius Maximus in the Second Punic War, ironically against Hannibal Barca, the eldest son of Hamilcar Barca in Italy during 217 BC.

At this decisive point, Hannibal ordered his African Infantry to turn inwards and advance against the Roman flanks, creating an encirclement of the Roman infantry in one of the earliest known examples of the pincer movement.

In 209 it was one of the colonies which refused further contributions to the war against Hannibal.
