217 BC
At Hannibal's campaign against Rome, he was passing by the Lake Trasimene when a Roman army was camped at the other side of the lake. Then it happened, the battle of Lake Trasimene. Hannibal with the support of the Gauls are 50,000+ in strength and the Romans were 40,000. The Romans once again underestimated Hannibal, for if he did he would send far more men than just 40,00. Once again Hannibal was brilliant as hell. He hid more than half his men to the woods nearby therefore only showing a small amount of his army. The Romans were too cocky and so Gaius Flaminius charged his whole army into the battlefield, hoping to crush the enemy. When Gaius Flaminius's army was nearing to collide with Hannibal's the hidden army charged putting the Romans into fear. The Romans were being pushed closer and closer to the lake. When the Romans reached the lake their death was certain, their armor was too heavy to evade and their sheilds are also heavy to move, the Romans were defeated again for the 2nd decisive time.

* Another win to Hannibal, in Roman soil where Romans have the advantage. Also Hannibal has a limited supply of food, water and men, but the Romans has a lifetime of supply of those things.
