Septimus Flavius Galarius Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 Gaius Claudius Nero. Together with Marcus Livius they defeated and killed Hasdrubal at Mataurus. But it was Nero who discovered that Hasdrubal intended to link up with Hannibal to attack Rome itself. Nero linked up with Marcus Livius without Hannibal or Hasdrubal knowing it. During the battle it was Nero who outflanked Hasdrubal's forces causing his army to collapse. Also it was Nero who ordered Hasdrubal's corpse to be decapiatated and his head to be thrown into Hannibal's camp, convincing Hannibal that he could never defeat Rome.
