“Historians estimate more dead soldiers at Cannae than in any other day of battle in Western History, and that 30,000 gallons of blood were spilled in that one day.41”

“Hannibal was in his tent in his camp, possibly wondering where his brother was, when a hard-riding Roman cavalry envoy was allowed under diplomatic truce into the camp. The Roman horseman flung a sack into his tent, and the startled Hannibal peered inside to see his brother’s gory head. Hannibal responded: “There lies the fate of Carthage.”

“Polibijus pasakoja, kad Hanibalo kariuomenė po pirmosios pasalos žygiavo toliau. Ketvirtos dienos pavakary prie jų prisiartino klastingi keltai su dovanomis ir vainikais kaip taikos ženklu. Keltai pasakė, kad yra girdėję, kaip buvo pažeminti aloborgai. Jų vyresnysis netgi pasiūlė galvijų ir belaisvių, tačiau buvo matyti, kad keltai paslapčia jau galando ietis ir laukė tinkamos progos užpulti kartaginiečius. Kaip rašo Polibijus, Hanibalas neabejojo, kad keltai kažką rezga, todėl buvo labai atsargus. Nenuoširdus ir keistas keltų elgesys kėlė įtarimų, tad karvedys nusprendė pasikliauti savo instinktais.”
