We have made our stance on Italians pretty clear at this point, and everyone knows Romans are just proto-Italians, so we're big fans of the subject of today's episode, Hannibal Barca. This dude ran rampant all over those toga wearing fools. And everybody knows about the whole war elephants thing, but that's just the start. He made some incredible war innovations and really was one of the greatest generals to ever practice the art of killing. The fact that he did it to the Romans is just a sweet, sweet cherry on top. Enjoy!
