EspañolCANNAE
:''Cannae is also a metalcore band from Boston, Massachusetts.''
'Cannae' (mod. 'Canne della Battaglia') is an ancient village of the Apulia region of south east Italy. It is situated near the river Aufidus (mod. Ofanto), on a hill on the right bank, 9.6 km (6 miles) southwest from its mouth, and 9 km southwest from Barletta.
It is primarily known for the Battle of Cannae, in which the numerically superior Roman army suffered a disastrous defeat by Hannibal in 216 BC (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 remains of an unimportant Roman town still exist upon the hill known as ''Monte di Canne''. In the Middle Ages it became a bishopric, but was destroyed in 1276.
