Hsnnibal was the son of Hamilcar Barca. He was born in 247 BC. His brother-in-law, Hasdrubal, helped in most of the military operations that he did. He led his army in the second Punic war against Rome and he kept winning his battles. He had very good tactics. He even brought elephants over the Alps. Then he poisoned himself and died. I think the Romans saw him as a monster because he just seemed like a monster. He always won his battles and he could lead all those elephants. He did things that normal humans couldn't do so it gave them the idea that he seemed like a monster.
