“The Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage began in 218 BC. In the winter of that year Hannibal crossed the Alps and invaded Italy with a large army."
"The first major engagement came near the Trebbia River where a Roman army confronted the invaders. The battle was a disaster for the Romans. Hannibal encircled them with the help of a surprise attack on the Roman rear led by his brother Mago. The Roman army broke and routed across the river with heavy casualties.”
