"Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca was a Carthaginian military commander and tactician who is popularly credited as one of the most talented commanders in history." He made a desperate attempt to fight back against Rome who had once fought as allies with Sardinia. The victory cause Rome to have control of trade across the whole western Mediterranean . Hannibal decided he wouldn't accept defeat fighting Rome many more times. One conquest lead him across northern Africa, through Spain and France and finally to Canine. Where he has his first important victory, it is important because it is very near to Rome , and he defeated a force much larger than his.
I think the Romans would think of Hannibal as a monster because at the battle of canine he took no prisoners and then he forged ahead farther into Italy.
