Abstrakt: This article describes that mountain troops and their operations often begin with a reference to Hannibal's crossing of the Alps in 218 BC, during the Second Punic War. It was not an easy undertaking by any means. The Gallic Wars of 58 BC to 51 BC again saw combat in the mountains, but this time the Roman Army was fighting not to simply cross the mountains, but to subjugate many of those same tribes who had impeded Hannibal 160 years earlier.
