571. Hannibal: Roman Bloodbath at Cannae (Part 4)
And these consuls, certainly one of them, has definitely been elected on a kind of let's defeat Hannibal and wipe him out in a battle ticket. And this is a guy called Gaius Terentius Varro. He is cast by both Polybius and Livy as being a bit like Flaminius, the guy who had lost the battle at Lake Trasimene. So he is cast as a kind of slightly magger figure. He's a novice homo.
