Minucius and the rest of the army are killing me. I understand that they want to get back at Hannibal, but the arrogance they possess is painful. They've already had plenty of examples where Rome got its ass kicked, and not one, not one, thinks that maybe they can't outdo Hannibal in conventional warfare. Minucius especially though. Understanding Fabius' plan and deliberately doing the exact thing that will ruin it. Then he has the balls to blame Fabius for his own mistake. Ahhh, I hate how well the author shows human nature.
