The Battle of Canusium was a three-day engagement between the forces of Rome and Carthage. It took place in Apulia during the summer of 209 BC, the tenth year of the Second Punic War. A larger Roman offensive, of which it was a part, aimed to subjugate and to punish cities and tribes that had abandoned the alliance with Rome after the Battle of Cannae, and to narrow the base of the Carthaginian leader, Hannibal, in southern Italy.

  • The Battle of Canusium was a three-day engagement between the forces of Rome and Carthage. It took place in Apulia during the summer of 209 BC, the tenth year of the Second Punic War. A larger Roman offensive, of which it was a part, aimed to subjugate and to punish cities and tribes that had abandoned the alliance with Rome after the Battle of Cannae, and to narrow the base of the Carthaginian leader, Hannibal, in southern Italy. The battle of Canusium was also an episode of the years-long contest between Hannibal and the Roman general Marcus Claudius Marcellus for control over that territory. As neither side gained a decisive victory and both suffered considerable losses (up to 14,000 killed overall), the outcome of this engagement was open to differing interpretations by both ancient and modern historians. While Marcellus took a heavy blow at Canusium, he nevertheless checked for some time the movements of the main Punic forces and thus contributed to the simultaneous Roman successes against Hannibal's allies in Magna Graecia and Lucania.
  • La batalla de Asculum fue un enfrentamiento militar entre los ejércitos de la República romana y la República Cartaginesa, de tres días duración, que tuvo lugar en la región de Apulia, en el verano de 209 a. C. , en el décimo año desde el inicio de la Segunda Guerra Púnica. Formó parte de una campaña punitiva contra los pueblos y tribus que habían abandonado la alianza con Roma y se habían aliado con los cartagineses después de la batalla de Cannas, y también para estrechar el cerco al líder cartaginés, Aníbal, en el sur de Italia. Por otro lado, la batalla supuso un nuevo enfrentamiento entre Aníbal y el general romano Marco Claudio Marcelo por el control de la Península Itálica. Como ninguno ganó decisivamente y ambos sufrieron muchas bajas (más de 14.000) el resultado de la batalla es discutido tanto por los historiadores modernos como por los antiguos. Aunque Marcelo recibió un duro golpe en Asculum, contribuyó sin duda a limitar los movimientos del principal ejército púnico, con lo que contribuyó a los éxitos posteriores contra los aliados de los cartagineses en la Magna Grecia y en Lucania.
  • La battaglia di Ascoli è stata combattuta nel 209 a.C. fra l'esercito cartaginese di Annibale e quello romano di Marco Claudio Marcello. Mentre la battaglia di per sé non ebbe esito decisivo, Marcello venne ricordato a Roma come un generale poco capace.
  • De slag bij Asculum werd gevochten in 209 v. Chr. tijdens de Tweede Punische oorlog tussen Hannibal's Carthaagse leger en een Romeins leger, aangevoerd door Marcus Claudius Marcellus. Omdat het gevecht onbeslist bleef, werd Marcellus teruggeroepen naar Rome wegens slecht leiderschap.
  • Slaget ved Asculum ble utkjempet i 209 f. Kr. mellom Hannibals karthagenske armé og en romersk styrke. Romerne ble ledet av Marcus Claudius Marcellus. Slaget fikk ingen avgjørelse og Marcellus ble snart kalt tilbake til Roma anklaget for dårlig ledelse av styrkene.
