Hannibal did not defeated Cannae. He defeated the troops of Rome and her allies at the battle of Cannae in 216 BC. This was one of the most brilliant tactical masterpieces in the history of Antiquity. The estimates of Roman and allied casualties by ancient historians range form 47,200 to 70,000. Some modern historians estimate figures between 10,500 and 16,000.
