Gisgo Cannae

Gisgo was a Carthaginian officer who served under Hannibal during the Second Punic War. In 216 BC, just before the Battle of Cannae, he remarked to Hannibal that the Roman army's size was astonishing, but Hannibal joked that the Romans had not one man named Gisgo in their ranks, causing great laughter among the Carthaginian ranks.
