Hannibal crossing the Rhone, 218 BC (1882-1884). During the Second Punic War, the Carthaginian general Hannibal led his army, including elephants, from Spain into Gaul, then across the Alps into northern Italy to confront the Roman army. He defeated the Romans in three battles, the Trebia (218 BC), Lake Trasimene (217 BC) and most decisively at Cannae (216 BC).
