Private Guided Visit to Canne della Battaglia
Explore the archaeological ruins of the ancient Roman town of Canne della Battaglia, famous for the biggest battle of the Second Punic War fought between the Roman and Carthaginian armies near the Ofanto River, between about 86,000 Romans and about 50,000 Carthaginians. The battle was won by the Carthaginians led by Hannibal, one of the greatest leaders in history. Discover the tactics of war that allowed the Carthaginians to win the battle and that led to the deaths of more than 55,000 soldiers. Beyond the Roman ruins, visit the necropolis and the Antiquarium museum, with its rich collection of clay pots painted with geometric designs from pre-Roman populations (Dauni-Peuceti) dating back to the 4th-3rd century BC, found in the tombs and necropolis of Cannae.
