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.

The Carthaginians, led by Hannibal, won the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC. The Carthaginians used a successful double envelopment strategy which resulted in a devastating defeat for the Roman army. It is considered one of the greatest tactical victories in military history.

Two examples come immediately to mind. One is the defeat at Cannae, by Hannibal and the other is the Teutoburg disaster. There were more, especially in the later part of the empire.
