How many elephants did Hannibal take across the alps?
Hannibal set off from Spain with 37 elephants. There are disagreements among the sources about the number of elephants which survived the snow and ice of the crossing. They range between 20 and 3. Ancient historian Livy said that Hannibal got two groups of elephants to attack the Romans in the battle of Trebbia after the crossing. He also said that after that he tried to cross the Apennine Mountains to get to Etruria, but was caught in a cold snap and a snow storm. The seven elephants which had survived the mentioned battle died. Other sources say that Hannibal still had one elephant when he travelled further south in Italy.
Why did Hannibal chose elephants over horses to attack rome?
Elephants were the then equivalent of the Tank on a modern battlefield. Unfortunately for Hannibal he lost most of his elephants in crossing the Alps so they were not a factor in his success. The Romans then developed tactics to neutralise elephants and even turn them around against their users. They were never a major factor in wars in Europe against the Romans when used by the Carthaginians and later on by the Greeks.
