Hannibal's army during the Second Punic War varied in size, but it is estimated to have been around 40,000 to 50,000 troops at its peak. This force included a mix of infantry, cavalry, and war elephants. Hannibal's strategic use of this army, particularly during his famous crossing of the Alps and subsequent battles in Italy, showcased his military genius despite facing larger Roman forces. The exact numbers are debated among historians but highlight his ability to effectively utilize a diverse and well-trained army.
