Who suffered the greater loss Hannibal of Carthage or Xerxes of Persia?
Hannibal failed to avenge his father ( was not able to burn Rome to the ground as promised). He left Rome after being depleted of supplies and men. Despite many great victories he rendered his own empire impotent in the face of the emerging Roman Empire. Xerxes raised the largest army the ancient world had ever seen, and was unable to overtake a small nation of quarreling Greeks ( thus it is said Its good to be greek). Which defeat i worse?
