The greatest military tactician in history, and general of the Carthaginian armies in both Punic Wars against Rome.
Inventor of the pincers movement, pioneered in the Battle of Cannae (216BC), the greatest defeat in Roman military history, and the third of his three great victories over Roman forces (following River Trebia in 218BC and Lake Trasimene in 217BC).
The Carthaginian empire spanned from Tunisia (where Carthage is) through Libya and most of North Africa, Spain, Mallorca, Corsica, Sicily, and Sardinia.
His name also inspired the name of the city of Barcelona, which was once part of the Carthaginian empire.

Alexander the Great may have had the numbers and the massive empire, but Hannibal Barca had the tactics, the better cavalry and ELEPHANTS!!!

Get the Hannia mug.Coolest Book charector ever? Quite Possible. Was in 3 movies, who was portrayed by Anthony Hopkins (Who was an INCREDIBLE Hannibal) and 3 Books (Red Dragon First, Then Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal Last) which was written by Thomas Harris (Who is one of the BEST writers ever, alongside of Stephen King) If you were fortunite to see Silence of the Lambs, you would know the greatness of Hannibal Lecter. How he seems to be your friend, how he is calm even when he kills people, how he knows everything that is happeneing, and he never loses his cool. Hannibal PWNS j00
"He dosn't kill because he is insane, he kills because he likes it"

If you have not seen The Silence of the Lmbs, Red Dragon or Hannibal, go out and buy it at blockbluster. And then read the books :)
Every Halloween, I have a Hannibal Lecter mask on, I scare everyone I meet.

Get the Hannukah Heights mug.Hannibal.M is an amazing human being. He has the brightest mind. He puts his family first from anything in life. He always tends to take good care of people.

You can’t get enough of him. He is a go getter. He is spontaneous and surprising. He never disappoints, he always amazes you. He is so strong. His head is always held high.Hannibal never looks down on anything or anyone. And when he loves, he loves deeply and passionately!
