Total War History: Battle of Cannae (Part 2/5)

Hannibal has shattered every Roman army in his path. In response the senate summoned a monster to slay the Punic foe. The beast they called upon would be the largest combined force ever assembled by Rome so far. The equivalent of 16 legions took up arms... we shall now take a closer look at this force Documentary Sources: "The Ghosts of Cannae" by Robert L.
