If hanibal was really so great would he have gotten involved in a war that he had no chance of winning? Threatening his life, family, and people in the process of his blunder?

 

post by Iulius

 

Hannibal actually always propose a peace agreement

and Rome senate always refuse even after Cannae.

 

 

//===================================================//

 

Actually, Quintius Fabius Maximus Cunctator gets the credit for that tactic...and the Senate was not smart enough to adopt it after his dictatorship ended.

i will change my view after my research and

you are right, but cuntator have a bad meaning.
