by Dante's Divine Comedy, in 1348,

Hell (Inferno) wars,
The following year, the newly elected Pharaoh and Aemilius Paulus organized a large army of 87,000 men according to the wishes of the Roman citizens who wanted to end the war quickly and headed to Cannae, where Hannibal was staying. Hannibal faced the large army of 87,000 commanded by Pharaoh and Aemilius with only 50,000 men. In the Battle of Cannae, Carthage used the crescent strategy of deploying weak troops in the center and strong troops on the remaining left and right sides. The army achieved a great victory, killing 70,000 Roman soldiers and taking 10,000 prisoners while losing only 6,000 men, putting Rome into a corner. In the aftermath of this war, Capua, a large city in central Italy, betrayed Rome and joined Hannibal. Then, movements to secede from Rome arose in many cities, and cities such as Tarentum in southern Italy and Syracuse in Sicily, with Hannibal's help, successfully expelled the stationed Roman troops and sided with Hannibal. As a result, Rome lost part of central Italy, most of southern Italy, and all of northern Italy, and even had enemies on the island of Sicily. The Battle of Kannai remains to this day the most outstanding example of siege and annihilation warfare, and remains a battle that is always discussed when discussing war history.
