It is hard to estimate how many Roman and ally troops died in battle against Hannibal. Ancient historians varied in their estimates of casualties in the main battles and modern historians think that some of their estimates are exaggerated and tend to come up with lower figures. In some of the battles no casualty estimates were given. Moreover, there were also engagements and skirmishes in addition to the main battles. Their number is not known and how many people died is not known either. Below are the main battles and some figures:
Battle of the Trebbia: no estimates by ancient historians. Modern estimates range for 20,000 to 32,000 despite great difficulties in reconstruction.
Battle of Lake Trasimene: Polybius 15,000; Livy 10,000
Battle of Cannae. Estimates varied. Polybius gave 76,600; Livy, 42,000; Appian and Plutarch 50,000. Modern historians' estimates range from 15,000 to Livy's figure. Even Livy's estimate is often considered excessive.
Battle of Capua: unknown
Battle of Hedonia: up to 13,000
Batle of Numistro: unknown
Battle of Canusium: 6,000
Battle of Tarentum 2,000
