I got a lot of favorite battles and generals, I could go all day, but the Battle of Cannae is just a great one. The Romans fielded about 85k troops while Carthage fielded about 50k. The Romans would be utterly destroyed via the formation below taking massive casualties. Polybius estimated that only 5,700 Carthaginians were lost while Livy estimated that the Romans lost about 67,500 (includes deaths and captured). This battle shaped new Roman military doctrine since the old Phalanx style became ineffective due to the pincer maneuver Hannibal used. It was also studied by many modern militaries due to its "battle of annihilation" strategy in which an entire opposing army is destroyed in 1 battle. This also showed that Hannibal was a genius on the battlefield.It's so crazy to think how vulnerable Rome actually was, and how they were just strong with their shields only
