Hannibal Is At The Gates

Hannibal was a Carthaginian general and statesman who commanded the forces of Carthage in their battle against the Roman Republic during the Second Punic War. He became such a figure of terror that, whenever disaster threatened, Romans would exclaim "Hannibal ad portas" ("Hannibal is at the gates!") to emphasize the gravity of the emergency, a phrase still used in modern languages today.

 

“God has given to man no sharper spur to victory than contempt of death. I will either find a way, or I will make one.” - Hannibal
