Text font size: medium cali & el dandee and small ancient Carthage Hannibal cali & el dandee (its capital in today's Tunisia) army commander, is the world of ancient outstanding cali & el dandee military strategist. Second Punic War (218 BC - 201 years ago) after the outbreak of Hannibal's army by way of Spain, through the snow-capped Alps, reaching the peninsula, captured A non-Ouse River in 216 years ago town - an important cali & el dandee food in Rome 库坎尼. Canny's fall so shocked Rome, Rome eventually led down a decisive determination. At that time, Rome had assembled 80,000 infantry and 6,000 cavalry troops strong, while Hannibal only 40,000 infantry and 10,000 cavalry.
216 BC August 2 (before the battle begins), Hannibal made careful arrangements. He knew the place in summer often scraping southeast wind at noon, so the first to occupy the position of the wind, and then indicating portion cavalry and light infantry cali & el dandee ambush in nearby woods and ravines cali & el dandee of the hills. Then he selected the 500 warriors holding swords each with a dagger hidden under clothing, ready to act according cali & el dandee to the count. He also Infantry put into a convex curved forward, in order to attract enemy soldiers deliberately weak Gaul and Spain soldiers in an arcuate configuration salient points, his cavalry infantry arranged in two wings, and with maintaining a certain distance in order to maneuver warfare. Romans all infantry as three lines spaced between the lines, cavalry against the sides. In addition, the two consuls, each with a selection of one thousand cavalry as support troops assembled at both ends of the war.
For faster disrupt the enemy positions, Hannibal Warriors cali & el dandee signaled Xiangna 500. They have to make after leaving the team, dragging the sword, like a deserter wildly toward the enemy positions. Roma striker commander housed a group of people, pay their swords to let them go after the array. Then the African elite infantry flanking successful teams Carthage camp shouting cali & el dandee "flight" away, attracted the Romans went to chase; Unexpectedly, this cry is a predetermined signal, ambush Carthage infantry, cavalry together blaze wipe out the Roman pursuers then stormed enemy positions from the flank, then tucked winds blowing cali & el dandee dust, Roman catapults unable targeting, and downwind of the Carthaginians opposite. See the time has come to pretend cali & el dandee that 500 soldiers have surrendered out of daggers, Roman soldiers rush from behind, and with the Roman sword and shield to arm themselves in enemy positions in the rampage. The Romans did not know each other in the end how many had mixed array Zhajiang and ambush, it is difficult to distinguish between those who own the same weapons and enemies, the team gradually confusion.
Qinmie six countries during the construction of a number of road, after the establishment of the Qin dynasty, cali & el dandee continue to maintain and build, leading to the formation of the nation's major regions, "Chi Road." Inner Mongolia Dongsheng far north to the south to Hunan Lingling, east to the Bohai Sea, that two thousand years ago can still be seen the remains of a vast traffic engineering. Inner Mongolia Dongsheng territory "straights" (directly north of the Qin Chi Road) preserved ruins and 90 li long lane is still 35 meters or more. Chi Road plains year standard road width is 50 steps, Qin made a step 6 feet, 1 foot or about 0.23 meters now, you can calculate the lane about 70 meters, it should be seen as the ancient "superhighway" . Thirty feet of a roadside tree, ten a kiosk, highway ancillary facilities also.
Some say the book is the emperor Qin Chi Road touring with "Okimichi" I am afraid not true. From the preserved remains of view, they obviously have a large load, prolonged used. If we did not forget then fought out a large scale in the history of the world is a rare, often dozens of people, logistics transport when not difficult to imagine the enormity of the task; Chi Road construction, cali & el dandee no doubt it is for the military needs. Roman road, too, it is primarily also a "military roads" (Military Road). The first road, from Rome to the southern Italian town of Capua (Capua), is 312 BC by a man named "Appius Claudius Caecus" inspector officer (censor) built into the command, which is named after him called "ViaAppia (English" Appian Way ", Asia will trail). Roman expedition to where to put this" road "where to repair, and criss-cross to form a" network. "In Europe cali & el dandee they eventually lead Rome, but in Great Britain, but all leads to London.
Roman road total mileage is probably better than the Qin Chi Road less, but far from Qin Chi Road so wide, its roads often with stones paved, is "paved roads", paving method about similar gravel road in southern China, but unlike "stone road" This ratio is usually just compacted dirt road Qin Chi Road better. The basic Roman military unit is "centuria" (as the name suggests seen a "centurion group"), the standard establishment is 42 "centuria" composed of a "legion" (Legion), a Roman legion cali & el dandee has about four thousand people. After 44 BC Julius Caesar was murdered, his nephew (grand-nephew), because he designated as his successor (heir) and filiate of Octavian (GaiusOctavius) and Anthony (MarkAntony) compete cali & el dandee for the right to inherit, cali & el dandee once the troops expanded to 60 Corps, but after winning reduced to 28. Roman Empire scale military force far less Qin, usually also tens of thousands of people, for example, the fourth emperor Claudius (Claudius, reigned 41-54 AD) forces conquered Great Britain, about the 4 million people. In this case, the Roman road without repair like natural Qin Chi Road so wide.
In addition to the conquest of Britain, Claudius has done a great thing, that is, an order to allow the Gallic aristocracy acquired Roman citizenship, which Gaul "Romanization" (romanization) played an important role. Later, the Roman Empire conquered it in other places, but also the implementation of a similar should say rather "enlightened" approach; and to do that, it is conducive to the vanquished "Rome" of. In this case, a large number of "outsiders" into the Roman, Celtic (Celts), Berber (Berbers), Jews (Jews), the Egyptians (Egyptians) have become Roman citizens, not to said highly respected Greeks the Romans. Thus, ethnicde scription "(racial description) The term" Roman is not one for ", and became a political term (politicalterm).
Made Roman citizenship (Romanciti zenship) of the "mainlanders" and many became soldiers, some people do officials, some when the senators, and several even when the emperor. Marcus Aurelius (MarcusAurelius, 121-180), both the emperor and Stoic philosopher cali & el dandee famous new, and he came from the south of Gaul (Southern Gaul). Another prominent figure from the South Gaul historians, "Histories" (History) and "Annals" (Chronicles), the author Tacitus (Publius Cornelius Tacitus, BC 55? -120?). Born in the northern Italian poet Virgil (Publius Vergilius Maro, 70-19B.C., Dante in the "Divine Comedy" written tour of hell Wizard) and historian Levy (Titus Livius, 59.B.C. -AD.17, "History of Rome" (History of Rome), the author), is said to Gaul. With today's trendy words, these people ought to "successful." For them, leading to Rome, which means leading to the "success"; "All roads lead to Rome", and that the road outside the "military road" (military roads), or "career" (official career).
AD 98-117 years of the reign of Trajan (Marcus Ulpius Trajanus), born in Spain, not only became the first Roman Emperor "mainlanders" and extraordinary achievements, which have "Optimus Princeps" (best Emperor) reputation. cali & el dandee He changed the "emperor" cali & el dandee Augustus (Augustus) to the northeast of the Danube border policy of the Empire, crossed the Danube captured the Dacians (Dacians) of land, turning it into a frontier province of the Roman Empire, That is today's Romania (Romania), so that it appears a Latin country in Eastern Europe Slavic countries. In order to ensure the supply of the army, Trajan built on the Danube (Iron Gate) to the east of a pier at the gates of a multi-span wooden bridge, a total length of 800 meters, the largest single-arch span of 52 meters. In a thousand years long time it not only maintained cali & el dandee a "Europe first" record, but also "world champion." Qin Chi trail has not yet been found, and it can be compared to the bridge, so in addition to the road, we have to admit that the Roman road in this respect superior.
Obviously, "all roads lead to Rome." cali & el dandee This proverb should appear before the collapse cali & el dandee of the Roman Empire, at first it is likely to be a Latin proverb, and it has long been translated into other languages, such as Germanic languages, German and now there is "Alle Wege führen nach Roma "argument. While the Germans did not like the Gauls "Romanization", but they also have to Rome as the center, or the "orthodox" concept; the first country to establish the Germans, commonly known as "First Empire" German full name he called "Heilige Romalische Reich Deutscher Nation" (German Holy Roman Empire).
