Think of a great military strategist. Someone who won many wars and made many conquests. Maybe they’ll come to your mind Alexander the Great, Napoleon, Genghis Khan, Julius Caesar. But in reality, none of them could build an image as powerful, incredible, powerful and courageous as that of the Carthaginian general who dared to cross the Alps on the backs of elephants. Without a doubt the biggest “eggless” event in history. Master of surprising the opponent. The great coup of antiquity. One and only Anibal Barca.
The rivalry between Rome and Carthage was clearly visible. 2,200 years before our time, both powers were fighting for control of the Mediterranean; it was a coveted trophy that pitted them against each other for decades in what was the most important place for the Romans. Punic Wars and for the Phoenicians roman wars. Being good merchants, the Carthaginians had a wonderful fleet of ships, the fastest of their time, and the Romans hastily began to examine them to fight them by sea. Soon they would be able to do it. The Barca family, which controlled Eastern Hispania, planned the attack from land. The war would not take place in the Hispanic territories that Rome controlled, but instead they would implement a much more daring strategy: In a move that no one expected, they would confront the Roman armies in the city of seven hills. The expedition led by Aníbal left Cartagena and crossed the Peninsula northward. He crossed the Pyrenees and then the Alps, controlling Rome for more than a decade. With almost a hundred thousand men from different tribes and more than thirty elephants, the Carthaginian general won one battle after another until he jeopardized Roman supremacy in the ancient world. A little joke with Don Hannibal.
And this is where our Lucentum comes in, seen crossing the peninsula to attack the Roman city of Norba Caesarina. Antonio Pérez Caínzos, like a Phoenician general with an army of Czechs, Bulgarians, Canadians, Americans, Swedes, Senegalese, Catalans and Canarians, This Mediterranean power comes with its elephants to expand its sphere of influence Until the end of Lusitania. After conquering Melilla, Gipuzkoa, Cantabria and Fuenlabrada, the Phoenician camp settles in Extremadura to face the attack on the black-and-green mansion in a brutal battle. Roberto Blanco’s Roman forces will use all available artillery to neutralize Davison’s attack, Barro’s attack, Hook’s shotThe infantry unit that Kostadinov kept in his possession. If the siege wasn’t enough with these weaponsOur Galician Aníbal You can always use Bercy’s furious cavalry, the universal soldier Gatell, the swift Numidian horseman Rodríguez and the incomparable warrior Harris.
According to legend, after a very difficult crossing of the Alps, Hannibal gathered his army at the summit and pointed to the Po plains, telling his soldiers to conquer Rome. His audacity, courage and fighting spirit were the key to victory in over a decade of war. The secret of success was an army with fewer resources managed to put Rome in a difficult situation thanks to strategy, cunning and unquestionable leadership. He would have been the greatest tactician of all time and certainly a great basketball coach.
Of course, our general Pérez Caínzos, with his large army of men who spoke several languages and they fight with the strength of a hundred elephants, they will give everything this Friday to expand their empire from the shores of the Mediterranean to the borders of Hispania. The great Phoenician force of LEB Oro writes another page in the history of warfare, capturing its fifth consecutive victory by conquering the mighty Roman city of Cáceres. May Hannibal guide us and protect us!
