has gloss | eng: The Battle of Geronium or Gerunium is part of the Second Punic War, where a large skirmish and an ambush took place in the summer and autumn of 217 BC respectively. After winning the Battle of Ager Falernus, the army of Hannibal, marched north then east towards Apulia through Samnium. Hannibal was cautiously followed by the Roman army under the dictator Quintus Fabius Maximus, keeping with the "Fabian strategy". This policy was becoming unpopular in Rome, and Fabius was compelled to return to Rome to defend his actions under the guise of observing some religious obligations. Marcus Minucius Rufus, left in command, managed to catch the Carthaginians off guard near their camp in Geronium and inflict severe losses on them in a large skirmish. This “victory” caused the Romans, disgruntled with Fabius, to elevate Minucius to the equal rank of the dictator. |

has gloss | hbs: Bitka kod Geronijuma je zajednički naziv za dva okršaja koja su se godine 217. pne. u doba drugog punskog rata odigrali između kartaginske vojske pod Hanibalom i rimske vojske pod Markom Minucijem Rufom. U taktičkom smislu je predstavljala rimski poraz, dok je u strateškom smislu završila neodlučeno, jer Hanibal nije uspio u namjeri da uništi rimsku vojsku. |
