CANNAE: POINTS OF CONTROVERSY IN THE CLASSICAL RECORD OF POLYBIUS AND LIVY

A SERIES OF ARTICLES IN COMMEMORATION OF THE 2228^th ANNIVERSARY OF HANNIBALâÂÂ?ÂÂ?S VICTORY AT THE BATTLE OF CANNAE, August 2, 2012, by Prof. Yozan Mosig (University of Nebraska-Kearney) FOREIGN MEMBER OF COMITATO ITALIANO PRO CANNE DELLA BATTAGLIA.

#1.  Who was actually in command of the massive Roman army that fought at Cannae?

Fabius Maximus was appointed dictator for six months, following the defeat of the Roman army and the death of consul Gaius Flaminius at Lake Trasimene in 217 BCE. He wisely followed Hannibal at a distance with his army, harassing the Carthaginians but refusing to face Hannibal in battle (an approach that has become known as Fabian tactics). This earned him the derogatory nickname of "Cunctator", or "delayer". Roman pride could not tolerate the situation for long, and at the end of his term the Senate replaced Fabius with two new consuls who were given the specific assignment of dealing with Hannibal once and for all. The traditional account names the consuls as the prudent and aristocratic Lucius Aemilius Paullus and the brash and impulsive Gaius Terentius Varro, a plebeian, the son of a butcher. Varro was a demagogue and a braggart, and it was supposedly he who was in command at the time of the battle, and thus deserves the blame for the worst military disaster in the history of Rome.
