| Roman
statesman and general. Consul in 216 B.C when he opposed Hannibal at
the battle of Cannae, where the Roman army was destroyed. Probably more
blame for this disaster may be ascribed to the Roman system of
alternate command than to Varro's incompetence. One of the few
survivors, Varro rallied the remnants of his army at nearby Canusium
(now Canosa di Puglia). He received official commendation from the
senate. |
