At the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC, Hannibal Barca executed the most complete encirclement in military history.
This video explains how Rome’s largest army was systematically surrounded and destroyed through positioning, timing, and control of space.
The Battle of Cannae (216 BC) remains one of the most decisive tactical victories in military history.
Facing a Roman consular army of nearly 86,000 men, Hannibal Barca used deliberate deployment, a controlled retreat, and superior cavalry coordination to achieve total encirclement.
This breakdown explains:
• Roman and Carthaginian deployments
• Hannibal’s intentionally weak center
• The cavalry battles on the flanks
• The African infantry pivot
• The final double envelopment
At Cannae, Roman numerical superiority became a fatal weakness.
The battle has been studied for centuries as the textbook example of total encirclement and battlefield geometry.
