Anmerkungen
In winter 216/5 BC, having eliminated the Roman army in the battle of Cannae, Hannibal put his troops into winter quarters at Capua in Campania. As the ancient historians put it, the Carthaginian army lost its strength in their luxuriant quarters, and so the Romans had the time to recover and to reorganize their forces. Hannibal's string of successes ended, especially when the Romans began evading his forces and refusing to engage with him. In 212 the Romans laid siege to Capua, and eventually captured it a year later. This As was issued during the years of Capua's desertion of Rome, when the city was hosting the troops of Hannibal
