Why Is Hannibal Good Or Bad
Hannibal
Because Hannibal was such a successful leader, his character was, and still is, debated over. By nature, the Romans, their allies, and even Hanno, a Carthaginian, disliked Hannibal because he brought fear and destruction to their peoples. On the other hand Carthage and its allies respected Hannibal because he brought expansion and wealth. Although both sides of the argument completely oppose each other, both have adequate reasoning. Hannibal gave many reasons to be disliked due to his characteristics and habits. He was very cruel to tribes that were not directly in the war. For example, both the Alpine and Flagellan peoples tried to protect themselves from the imminent looting of their territories by attacking Hannibal’s army
