One army. One mistake. No escape.
216 BC. On the sun-scorched plains of southern Italy, Rome marches to destroy its greatest enemy.
Eighty thousand soldiers-legions, allies, cavalry-form the largest army the Republic has ever fielded. Confidence is absolute. Victory is certain.
Hannibal Barca has other plans.
As the Roman advance surges forward, the enemy begins to give ground. The legions press harder, deeper, driving into what seems like a collapsing line.
But the line is not breaking.
It is bending.
And when it closes, Rome will learn what it means to be trapped.
LEGION - CANNAE tells the story of one of history's greatest military disasters through twelve gripping, ground-level accounts. From tribunes to skirmishers, standard bearers to cavalrymen, each story places you inside the battle as it unfolds-moment by moment, breath by breath.
Feel the heat.

Only survival.
