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.
