CANNAE (mod. Canne)

This article appears in Volume V05, Page 184 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: CAL-CAR
CANNAE (mod. Canne) , an
ancient
 
village
  of Apulia, near the river Aufidus, situated on a hill on the right
bank
 , 6 m. S.W. from its mouth. It is celebrated for the disastrous defeat which the Romans received there from Hannibal in 216 B.C. (see PUNIC WARS). There is a considerable controversy as to whether the
battle
  took
place
  on the right or the left
bank
  of the river. In later times the
place
  became a
municipium
 , and unimportant
Roman
  remains still exist upon the hill known as Monte di Canne. In the
middle
  ages it became a bishopric, but was destroyed in 1276.
See O. Schwab, Das Schlachtfeld von Canna (
Munich
 , 1898), and authorities under PUNIC WARS.
