Hannibal, the Carthaginian general, is said to have taken poison to avoid capture by the Romans. According to historical accounts, he obtained the poison from a potion he had carried with him, potentially sourced from his interactions with various cultures during his military campaigns. Some ancient texts suggest he had a preference for a particular type of poison derived from plants, which he used as a means to end his life rather than surrender. However, details about the exact source of the poison remain unclear and are often debated by historians.
Tradition has it that Hannibal had poison hidden in a ring, and had been keeping it with him ever since Rome began pursuing him.
