"Hannibal 247-c.183 BC Makes Defeated Romans Fight Each Other" is the seventh plate from the series "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" (Of Hunting Wild Beasts, Birds, Fish), an influential collection of engravings that depict various hunting scenes. This particular plate was engraved by Jan Collaert (1566–1628), a notable Flemish engraver and draftsman of the late Renaissance period, and was published by Phillipus Gallaeus (Philips Galle) in Amsterdam. The series itself was designed by Giovanni Stradano (also known as Jan van der Straet), an Italian artist of Flemish origin who was active in Florence during the 16th century.

The engraving portrays a historical scene involving the Carthaginian general Hannibal, who is known for his military exploits during the Second Punic War, particularly for his audacious crossing of the Alps with his army and war elephants. In this work, Hannibal is depicted as making captured Roman soldiers fight each other, a scene that reflects the brutality and desperation of warfare in ancient times. The series to which this plate belongs is a testament to the fascination with exotic and violent spectacles in the Renaissance period, as well as an example of the era's interest in classical antiquity.

The "Venationes Ferarum, Avium, Piscium" series was widely disseminated in its time and contributed to the spread of knowledge about hunting practices and exotic animals across Europe. It also served as an inspiration for artists and was a significant cultural reference in discussions about the natural world and human cruelty. The plate "Hannibal 247-c.183 BC Makes Defeated Romans Fight Each Other" is an important historical and artistic document that offers insight into the Renaissance mindset and its complex relationship with the classical past.
