Claim 2: “In 218 BCE, the Carthaginian general crossed the rugged mountain range with 40,000 men, 7,000 horses and 37 war elephants.”

DISPUTED

While multiple sources agree on the date (218 BCE) and the number of elephants (37), there is a significant contradiction regarding the number of men and horses. Two web sources cite 40,000 men and 7,000 horses, while the History channel source cites 70,000 men and 20,000 horses.
