Tuoro, 217 B.C. …
The first light of day, the mist, the lake, and a rocky spur that creates a narrow pass inspire Hannibal, the commander of the Carthaginians, to launch an ambush against the Roman legion on his trail.
The Roman legion, seeing the signs deliberately left by Hannibal, falls into the trap.
The tragic outcome will be over 15,000 deaths in less than 3 hours.
The waters of Lake Trasimeno turn red.
It will be remembered by future generations as the Battle of Lake Trasimeno.
