What if Hannibal had managed to take Rome?
What if Hannibal had managed to take Rome?
Likstrandens ormar som spyr blod och etter, Ni som blint trampar Draugs harg
På knä I Eljudne mottag död mans dom, Mot död och helsvite, ert öde och pinoplats
That's a bit more complex than you may think. Now, if he had had the support of the King of Makedon in more than name, and if the Carthaginan Senate still supported him, he might have had a real shot at breaking Rome just after Cannae.
Oh, yeah, and he would have needed siege engines as well.
But, if he had all that... yeah, he might have beaten Rome.
...What if Bartix (Who is really an island in the Persian Gulf) invaded the Seleucids from the one place they weren't expecting and expanded to the four corners of the EB map? (They'd be defeated in India thanks to the Maurya's 300 elephants)
BLARGH!
