Hannibal proved himself to be an excellent officer while serving in Carthaginian Spain in the south. He became the ruler of this area of Spain and Commander-in-chief at the age of 26. Many in his army had served under Hamilcar, Hannibal's father, whom they deeply admired. Hannibal, who both looked and commanded like his father, immediately won their respect. Hamilcar had also cultivated the friendship of many of the local tribes of southern Spain. Hannibal also cowered less loyal Spanish tribes into submission through his military prowess. This ensured the loyalty of his Spanish conscripts. Hannibal also relied on a number of mercenaries.
He was a harsh commander, but very well. He had to kill them because they rioted for more pay, which Carthage could not afford and it was very heartbreaking for him. The reason he did not sack Rome was because he let them rest after slaughtering a Roman army on the Northern part of the peninsula.

As a superior, think of how a modern day private would address a Lieutenant. There would be a measure of respect. However, the Romans had no titles, except for the very highest personages such as the emperor who would be addressed as"Augustus" or some other respectful title. A centurion or even the legate of the legion himself would be addressed by his name. Even Caesar's men, addressed him as Caesar.
Hannibal did not attempt to attack the City of Rome - he defeated the Roman army three times in Italy. The elephants he brought from Spain mostly died en route and so were not used in the battles.

In general, either the men have not earned their respect, or the women do not respect anyone; men are no exception. There are many levels of respect. Respect can be divided into the 3 following levels or types. Basic respect: Respect shown to everyone regardless. Respect that can be lost: Respect that is initially shown to strangers but can be lost or continued. Respect that must be earned: Respect that is not initially shown to a stranger but is shown to people who have earned it. The way a woman stereotypically respect men is different than the way men stereotypically respect men. Some men are sexist towards woman. Thus when a woman treats a man as if they are equals, a sexist man may find this attitude disrespectful. When a woman does not respect a man, it could be because of the woman, man or both of them (most common).

With respect, a lot of respect.

Most ancient remains pervail the knowledge that a Roman Centurion could control 100 men.His command would depend on his rank. There were many ranks of "centurion". The lowest ranking centurion commanded a century which was 80 men, contrary to popular belief that a century consisted of 100 men. If he commanded a cohort, he would command 480 men and if he were the "first spear" and commanded the first cohort, he had about 800 men under his command. The camp prefect, who was also a centurion, commanded the entire legion in the absence of the general and senior officers.
Respect is earned not given. You can make the hearts of men fear you but you can't make them respect you.
Respect.
