I'm not much of an expert on ancient hist, so here goes:
How would hist have been affected had Hannibal's destruction of the Roman army at Cannae in 216 BC not been successful ? Could the Carthaginian attempt to destroy Varro's army thru a double envelopment have been thwarted by better Roman generalship ? How about effects on military affairs further down the track, such as with the Schlieffen Plan which was reputedly designed with the intention in mind of Germany inflicting a Cannae-style defeat against France ?
