 Hannibal
By the year 216 BCE the Roman Consuls had organized a new and modern army of more than two-hundred thousand (200,000) men from allover their colonies, an army that was more than four (4) times the size of the remnant army of General Hannibal Barca that stood at the "GATES OF ROME".
This caused the main divisions of the Roman army to be caught in the center of the two main columns of the Carthaginians on each side, with their murderous elephant-equipped cavalry at the rear.
During the year 203 BCE the Romans finally found a hero in a general, who was born, raised and educated in Carthage.

As in narrative, and epic-stories, the whole of the living story is not performed, only a portion, a simple or complex plot of a few characters and incidents, a telling to give the desired cathartic effect (pity, fear, authenticity, believability).

 Sardinia: History
Interpreting the Corsi in some of our sources as the Sardinian tribe of that name, we have evidence for campaigns in Sardinia in every year between 236 and 231; in 232 and 231 both consuls were dispatched to the island, and triumphs were thrice celebrated during this period.
Even after the Sempronian settlement, there continued to be sporadic warfare along the frontier with consular armies in the early 130s (?), 126-122, and 115-111 and a praetorian one in 105-104, which was perhaps occasioned by a slave rebellion rather than by frontier instability.
Throughout the first century BCE, in addition to martial events not unconnected with political upheavals in Rome and Italy, there were some frontier skirmishes and unrest, and the Ilienses, so Livy tells us, were not yet completely pacified in his day (40.34.13).
