Im Herbst 218 v. Chr. fällt Hannibal in Italien ein und verfolgt dabei ein einziges Ziel: Rom endgültig in die Knie zu zwingen. Zunächst scheint ihm dies auch zu gelingen, vor allem nach dem Sieg in einer der blutigsten Schlachten der Militärgeschichte. Doch dann kommt es doch ganz anders. Welche Fähigkeiten der Römer verhelfen ihnen, den Weltkrieg der Antike zu gewinnen? Und was sagt uns diese Dynamik über die heutigen Konflikte zwischen Großmächten? Fest steht: Der Zorn der Römer auf die Karthager verglüht auch nach dem Sieg nicht. Ganz im Gegenteil, denn Hannibal nimmt einen bedeutenden Platz in der römischen Erinnerung ein und ebnet so Rom den Weg zur Weltmacht.Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

264 v. Chr. beginnt der erste von drei punischen Kriegen und somit das dramatischste Duell der Antike: der Zweikampf zwischen Karthago und Rom. Im Zentrum dieser Rivalität der Systeme steht Hannibal, der sein ganzes Leben der Bezwingung Roms widmen wird. Warum werden Großmächte so häufig zu Rivalen? Und was passiert, wenn diese Konflikte eskalieren? Um Rom so nah an den Abgrund zu treiben, setzt Hannibal etwas in Bewegung, das es vor oder nach ihm nie wieder gegeben hat. Er führt seine Truppen samt Kriegselefanten über die Alpen.+++ Alle Rabattcodes und Infos zu unseren Werbepartnern findet ihr hier: https://linktr.ee/was_bisher_geschah +++Du hast Feedback oder einen Themenvorschlag für Joachim und Nils?

fWotD Episode 2423: Battle of the Trebia Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Saturday, 23 December 2023 is Battle of the Trebia.The battle of the Trebia (or Trebbia) was the first major battle of the Second Punic War, fought between the Carthaginian forces of Hannibal and a Roman army under Sempronius Longus on 22 or 23 December 218 BC. Each army had a strength of about 40,000 men; the Carthaginians were stronger in cavalry, the Romans in infantry. The battle took place on the flood plain of the west bank of the lower Trebia River, not far from the settlement of Placentia (modern Piacenza), and resulted in a heavy defeat for the Romans. War broke out between Carthage and Rome in 218 BC. The leading Carthaginian general, Hannibal, responded by leading a large army out of Iberia (modern Spain and Portugal), through Gaul, across the Alps and into Cisalpine Gaul (in northern Italy). The Romans went on the attack against the reduced force which had survived the rigours of the march and Publius Scipio personally led the cavalry and light infantry of the army he commanded against the Carthaginian cavalry at the Battle of Ticinus. The Romans were soundly beaten and Scipio was wounded. The Romans retreated to near Placentia, fortified their camp and awaited reinforcement. The Roman army in Sicily under Sempronius was redeployed to the north and joined with Scipio's force. After a day of heavy skirmishing in which the Romans gained the upper hand, Sempronius was eager for a battle.Hannibal used his Numidian cavalry to lure the Romans out of their camp and onto ground of his choosing. Fresh Carthaginian cavalry routed the outnumbered Roman cavalry and Carthaginian light infantry outflanked the Roman infantry. A previously hidden Carthaginian force attacked the Roman infantry in the rear. Most of the Roman units then collapsed and most Romans were killed or captured by the Carthaginians, but 10,000 under Sempronius maintained formation and fought their way out to the safety of Placentia. Recognising the Carthaginians as the dominant force in Cisalpine Gaul, Gallic recruits flocked to them and their army grew to 60,000. The following spring it moved south into Roman Italy and gained another victory at the Battle of Lake Trasimene. In 216 BC Hannibal moved to southern Italy and inflicted the disastrous defeat of the Battle of Cannae on the Romans, the last of what modern historians describe as the three great military calamities suffered by the Romans in the first three years of the war.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:52 UTC on Saturday, 23 December 2023.For the full current version of the article, see Battle of the Trebia on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm Ayanda Neural.

We finish up the Hannibal series in one go because Damo went mad. Everything from the fallout of Trebia to Cannae to Hannibal inventing snake bombs to Carthage being wiped out. You may have to hit the pause button a couple of times.

Hannibal marches on Rome, it turns out that story takes a while to tell. Due to ADHD there are side stories about ancient sieges and why Roman names are so weird. This is going to be more than one sitting, so be warned.

Hannibal Barca (247-183/182 BC) was a Carthaginian general and statesman who is widely regarded as one of the greatest military strategists and tacticians in history. He is most famous for leading an army across the Alps into Italy during the Second Punic War (218-201 BC), where he won a series of spectacular victories against the Roman Republic. Hannibal was born in Carthage (in modern-day Tunisia) to a prominent Barcid family, and was trained in military strategy and tactics by his father, Hamilcar Barca. He fought in several battles alongside his father in the First Punic War (264-241 BC) against Rome. After the First Punic War, Hannibal became the commander of the Carthaginian forces in Spain. In 218 BC, he famously led his army, including elephants, across the Alps to invade Italy. He won several major victories against the Romans, including the Battles of Trebia, Lake Trasimene, and Cannae. However, he was unable to take Rome itself and eventually had to return to Africa to defend Carthage against a Roman invasion. Hannibal continued to lead Carthaginian forces against Rome for several years, but he was eventually defeated by the Roman general Scipio Africanus at the Battle of Zama in 202 BC. After the war, he went into exile and lived in various places around the Mediterranean, including the court of the Seleucid king Antiochus III in Syria. He eventually took his own life in 183/182 BC to avoid being captured by the Romans who were seeking his extradition. Show notes at https://thedigressionpodcast.com/99 Sound Off!

#Thờitiếtkhắcnghiệt #quânsựthếgiới Trong lịch sử quân sự thế giới, có những trận đánh đã diễn ra trong điều kiện cực kỳ khắc nghiệt, làm thay đổi kết quả một cách rõ rệt. Trận chiến trên sông Trebia năm 218 trước Công nguyên Người La Mã và cư dân thành Carthage đã đối đầu trong trận giao tranh quy mô lớn thời Chiến tranh Punic lần hai. Hannibal, vị tướng và chiến lược gia người Carthage, đã ở Italy nhiều tháng và khiến miền trung Italy đang bị đe dọa. Đối thủ của Hannibal là lãnh sự Tiberius Sempronius Longus, người rất tự tin vào quân đội của mình, nhưng lại chọn phương án khó thành công nhất để tiến hành trận đánh. Vào ngày đông chí cuối tháng 12, Hannibal điều các cánh quân nhỏ băng qua sông Trebia để tấn công doanh trại quân La Mã, trong khi số quân còn lại quây quần ăn sáng trước bình minh. Quân La Mã bị bất ngờ, Sempronius Longus lập tức cho quân xông ra đánh sống mái nhằm đẩy lùi quân Hannibal. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/tu-dien-lich-su/message

After the losses at Trebia and Trasimene, the strategies of Fabius Maximus Cuncutator ("the Delayer") manages to give the Republic some valuable breathing room. Despite Fabius' best efforts, Hannibal manages to deliver Rome its most devastating defeat on the plains of Cannae in 216. Meanwhile, Marcus Claudius Marcellus leads a campaign in Sicily against the once-loyal city of Syracuse, contending with war machines devised by the likes of Archimedes in one of the great sieges of antiquity.

The opening battle of the Second Punic War was to set the trend in many ways and anticipate much of what was to come. But how did it come about? Who were the figures involved, how did the conditions come into play and what exactly happened? In this episode I try to unpick the basics and some more detailed aspects.

It's fair to say that winter battles weren't commonplace in the ancient Mediterranean world. There is, however, one striking exception. A clash that occurred in mid/late December 218 BC, in northern Italy very close to the Po River. This clash was the Battle of the River Trebia, fought between the Roman consular army of Sempronius Longus and the conglomerate Carthaginian force under the leadership of the legendary Hannibal Barca. In this special podcast, Dr Eve MacDonald, Dr Louis Rawlings and Dr Adrian Goldsworthy talk you through the run up to this decisive winter clash, before delving into the details of the battle itself. From Hannibal and his weary, worn down force emerging from the Alps to Roman soldiers wading through the icy waters of the Trebia, sit back and enjoy as Eve, Louis and Adrian talk you through the story of Hannibal's first great victory against the Roman Republic.Part 1: The Rise of HannibalWhile you're here, why not leave us a rating and review!

Historians call Hannibal Barca, the Carthaginian war general, the father of military strategy. And students at WestPoint study his journey over the Pyrenees and battles at Trebia, Lake Trasimene and Cannae. But one must read extensively to realize that in the long run he made strategic mistakes which was eventually his undoing.

El general cartaginés Aníbal Barca inicia una de las campañas mas osadas de la historia mundial. Luego de llevar a cabo el cruce de los Alpes en dos semanas, algo sin precedentes, el ejército de Aníbal propiciaría a los romanos una serie de derrotas en Tesino, Trebia y el lago Trasimeno, dejando al imperio de Roma al borde de la destrucción.

De eerste grote confrontatie tussen Hannibal en de Romeinen vond in december van 218 v. Chr. plaats nabij de rivier de Trebia. Met de tweede consul Sempronius Longus aan het roer verschenen de Romeinen op het slagveld. Met een numeriek overtal aan voetsoldaten was Sempronius er van overtuigd dat de slag door de Romeinen gewonnen zou worden.

La ciudad de Cartago fue durante un gran periodo de tiempo la ciudad más importante del Mediterráneo e hizo sombra a la mismísima Roma. En el periodo de máximo apogeo de la civilización cartaginesa contó con más de 450.000 habitantes, aunque esto fue olvidado tras la destrucción de la ciudad en la Tercera Guerra Púnica. El abogado Juan Torres Zalba, autor de la novela “El primer senador de Roma”, nos llevará a esa época apasionante para hablarnos de la influencia que tuvo el censor Catón en la República romana y su famosa amenaza “Carthago delenda est” con la que terminaba sus discursos. Carlos Canales nos dará una clase magistral sobre las campañas de Aníbal Barca, general que puso en jaque a toda la península Itálica, derrotando en numerosas ocasiones a las legiones romanas, como lo fue en la batalla del Trebia o en la mismísima Cannas. Marcos Carrasco nos aportará un audio sobre los intríngulis de un cuadro de Goya titulado "Aníbal vencedor contempla por primera vez Italia desde los Alpes". Manuel Berrocal nos relatará esos supuestos rituales sangrientos cartagineses y, sobre todo, del Tofet de Cartago y el culto que profesaban a Baal y a Tanit. Pepa Llausas nos recomendará esta vez la película italiana “Escipión el Africano” de 1971. Y Jesús Callejo rematará la faena con el cuento infantil más cruel de la historia: “Pedro el desgreñado”.

Today we finish up our talk on the battle of Trebia during the Second Punic war, the fall out of the battle, and even touch on the conclusion of the war.

It’s 218 BC, and Hannibal has made the mammoth journey across the Alps en route to Italy, accompanied by his army, their horses, and their elephants. But the real battle is yet to come, and in this fantastic second episode with Louis Rawlings, he takes us onto the battlefield with the Carthaginian army and into the fight against their Roman and Allied opposition. Louis and Tristan discuss the strengths and weaknesses of each side, and the tactics deployed under Hannibal’s remarkable leadership. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

On December 18th, 218 BCE the forces of Rome and Carthage classed near the Trebia river in Italy. It would turn into one of the 3 major and historic victories that the great general Hannibal pulled off, routing an entire Roman army.

Rome declared war on Carthage in 218 BCE, beginning the Second Punic War. Hannibal immediately put in motion a bold and risky plan. He marched his army from Spain across southern Gaul, crossed the Alps, and fell on Italy like a thunderbolt. In the next two years, he won brilliant victories at the Trebia and Lake Trasimene. Shocked by their defeats, the Romans appointed a Dictator, Fabius Maximus. Nicknamed the Delayer, Fabius avoided battle with Hannibal until the Romans had regained their strength and confidence.

Following the Battle of the River Trebia, Hannibal descended upon the rich province of Etruria in his advance into Italy. The new Roman consul, Gaius Flaminius, set out to confront the invaders with a mixture of fresh recruits as well as the survivors from Trebia. Arrogant, brash, and reckless, Flaminius led his legionaries in hot pursuit of the marauding Carthaginians - just as Hannibal intended. Flaminius finally caught up with Hannibal near the shores of Lake Trasimene, a name which would soon be rendered hateful to Roman ears… Recommended further reading: The Histories by Polybius Hannibal's War by Titus Livius A Companion to the Punic Wars (Blackwell Companions to the Ancient World) Edited by Dexter Hoyos Hannibal's Dynasty by Dexter Hoyos Carthage Must Be Destroyed by Richard Miles Implacable Enemies: The Barcid Armies at War by Karwansary Publishers Clash of the Colossi: The First Punic War by Karwansary Publishers Link to the Episode 38 page on the Layman's Historian website Subscribe or leave a review on iTunes Leave a like or comment on the Facebook page Follow on Twitter.

His strategy was to strike directly at the heart of Rome ... [he selected] terrain well and positioned himself in a way that almost secured victory Hannibal Barca (247-183 BC) was a Carthaginian general at a time when the Roman Empire was growing in power and influence across the Mediterranean. Hannibal demonstrated his prowess as a tactical commander and strategic leader during the Second Punic War as he marched from the Iberian Peninsula, through the Pyrenees, Gaul, and the Alps, eventually reaching northern Italy. A string of victories--Trebia, Lake Trasimere, and Cannae--followed, but he was unable to approach Rome before having to retreat to his homeland. Despite his ultimate defeat in the Battle of Zama, Hannibal is considered one of the greatest commanders in military history. Hannibal's story is presented by U.S. Army War College Professor of Strategic Landpower GK Cunningham. WAR ROOM Editor-in-Chief Andrew A.

In a surprise move, we look 2,200 years to look at the Battle of Cannae, a defeat so severe that it is said that every mother in Rome mourned the death of a son.  How could such a crushing defeat of a Roman Army. In 1992 the Center of Gravity construct was introduced into LWD 1, The Fundamentals of Land Warfare and it has been confusing people ever since. What is it?  How to build one to give you a list of targetable critical vulnerabilities that you can use to achieve your desired endstate. Cannae was a double envelopment at Cannae, and has been replicated on numerous times since then. We look at the Battle of the Trebia and also the Battle of Lake Trasimene.  How did Rome respond to these crushing defeats? How did Fabius functionally dislocate the Carthaginian Army's cavalry? What is the difference between the tactical, operational, and strategic level?  What is above the military strategic level of war? How did Grand Strategy impact on the Fabien tactics that the Roman Army was using? How did Varro and Paulus manage the Army after taking control from Fabius? Hannibal has 50,000 troops, but he is faced by a Roman army 86,400. The size of the Roman Army to Gisgo was astonishing. When it comes to unity of Command, how does having 2 consuls in command of the Roman army work? The center of gravity is the key characteristic, capability or locality from which a force derives its freedom of action, strength or will to fight.  What was the CoG that Hannibal was targeting at Cannae?

Hannibal Barca își înjumătățește armata trecând Alpii – o mișcare neașteptată, mai ales că trece Alpii în 218 îChr, iarna, numai bine să-l prindă pe post de consul pe Publius Scipio, tatăl Africanului, și pe Tiberius Sempronius Longus. Alpi, Trebia, Lacul Trasimeno, și romanii sunt într-o situație deloc roză.

Esta semana, con la gran aportación de Juan Carlos Moraleda, profesor, abogado y amante de la Historia, os presentamos el primer capítulo de “Aníbal vs Publio Cornelio Escipión” que hemos titulado “El empuje de Cartago”. Este primer capítulo comienza con el fin de la I Guerra Púnica y termina con la Batalla de Cannas, siendo el momento de dominio cartaginés en este segundo conflicto entre las grandes potencias del Mediterráneo. Con nuestro gran invitado, recorremos junto a Anibal su paso por los Pirineos y los Alpes hasta encontrarse con el ejército romano en las cuatro batallas principales (Tesino, Trebia, Trasimeno y Cannas). Esperamos que os guste esta primera parte y os deje ganas de escuchar la segunda.

This week we mostly go back to the norm. We have a round up of last week, going over future plans for 'Let's Talk' episodes and the book. After this we take a look at what happened after the Trebia, the sacking of Victumulae, Hannibal's use of wigs and his abortive attempt to cross the Apennines.

This week I battle a cold, attempting to cover the battle of the Trebia. We look at the events leading up to the battle and Hannibal's ambush.

Hannibal crosses the Alps and defeats the Romans at the River Po and Trebia.
