The Battle of Cannae plan transports us to 216 BC when Hannibal executed one of history's most brilliant military strategies. It serves as a testament to human ingenuity and tactical prowess. Howard Pyle's masterpiece "The Nation Makers" captures the chaos and heroism witnessed during America's Revolutionary War.
