Livy and Hannibal
The Roman historian Titus Livius, or Livy described the forcefulness of Hannibal's leadership in a passage from his
book "History of Rome:"
"...It was under Hannibal that the soldiers displayed greatest confidence and daring. He was fearless
in undertaking dangerous enterprises, he was prudent in discharging them. Toil
could not weary his body or subdue his spirit. Heat and cold he endured alike."
-Livy
