When Hannibal crossed the Rhône River during his campaign against Rome in 218 BCE, he faced significant challenges with his war elephants. The river's swift currents and the logistics of moving such large animals caused difficulties, resulting in the loss of some elephants. Despite these challenges, Hannibal successfully managed to transport the majority of his elephants across the river, which played a crucial role in his subsequent military strategies in Italy.
