The Battle of Cannae, August 2, 216 BC, was a decisive battle of the Second Punic War.
The consular forces at the battle amounted to 16 legions, 8 of them Roman plus an equal number of Latin allied legions, for a total of 80,000 men.
Hannibal's victory at the Battle of Cannae is often viewed as the classical example of a smaller army thoroughly defeating a larger opponent, purely through the use of superior tactics on open terrain.

 Battle of Lake Trasimene
The Battle of Lake Trasimeno (June 24, 217 BC, April on the Julian calendar) was a Roman defeat in the Second Punic War between the Carthaginians under Hannibal and the Romans under the consul Gaius Flaminius.
In addition, the night before the battle commenced Hannibal had ordered his men to light campfires on the hills of Tuoro, at a considerable distance, so as to convince the Romans that his forces were farther away than they actually were.
Surprised and outmaneuvered, the Romans did not have time to draw up in the battle array to which they were accustomed and were forced to fight a hopeless hand-to-hand battle, in open order.

 The Battle of Herdonea 210 BC   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The first battle he describes took place in 212 BC and hardly deserves the name "battle." According to Livy, a Praetor named Gnaeus Fulvius was besieging the town.
In the first battle, Roman discipline was so lax that, according to Livy, the Romans began to flee almost as soon as Hannibal's army raised its battle cry.
In the second battle of Herdonea (if Livy is correct) in 210 BC, another Gnaeus Fulvius, this time a Proconsul, fought and lost a much more credible battle against Hannibal (including the death of G. Centumalus himself).

 LacusCurtius • Frontinus — Stratagems, Book II
Then, when he had filled the eyes of the enemy with clouds of dust and had caused them to expect an encounter with cavalry, he led his infantry around to one side, where it was possible to attack the enemy's rear from higher ground, and thus, by a surprise attack, cut them to pieces.
In that battle Livy tells us that thirty-five thousand armed men, with their commanders, were slain; five Roman eagles and twenty-six standards were recaptured, along with much other booty, including five sets of rods and axes.
6Agesilaus, the Spartan, when engaged in battle with the Thebans, noticed that the enemy, hemmed in by the character of the terrain, were fighting with greater fury on account of their desperation.
